Supercapacitor pod.

Since the supercapacitor with the best energy storage effect at this stage cannot be stuffed into the small air-based platform, then it is better not to stuff it in and directly adopt external methods to meet the energy supply problem of airborne high-energy weapons.

The design scheme of the small aspect ratio without a vertical tail forward swept wing aircraft is temporarily named Z-2 fifth-generation aircraft scheme, adopting a medium-range coupled canard wing + edge wing + variable forward swept wing aerodynamic layout, the overall lift coefficient provided is much higher than that of all current mainstream fourth-generation and third-generation active fighter jets, and the preliminary calculation is 3.5.

Such a high lift coefficient can completely compensate for the heavy impact of the plug-in supercapacitor pod without caring about the volume.

In the subsonic and transsonic stages, the maneuverability of the Z-2 fighter will be unparalleled. No current mainstream fighter jet can be compared with it.

When it rises to the supersonic maneuver and hypersonic cruise stages, the variable forward sweep wing sweep angle shrinks and decreases, and then becomes a diamond-shaped flat body, transforming into a wedge-shaped wave-bike body, thereby realizing hypersonic cruise.

"The use of directional energy weapons is the top priority of the fifth-generation aircraft. Using the plug-in pod solution is just a compromise. Whether the energy source can be installed smoothly depends on the progress of energy technology and is really difficult to deal with." Several strands of black hair fell, and Zuo Xue rubbed her slightly swollen forehead and thought silently.

As a fighter jet designer who is about to be affiliated with the Chengfei Design Bureau system, Zuo Xue can properly handle the relevant difficulties in aerodynamics, which can involve cutting-edge energy technology fields, completely blindly.

"Drip!" At this moment, a crisp phone ringing suddenly rang in the room.

The confidential mobile phone placed on the computer desktop vibrates at high frequency and displays incoming call information.

Caller - Yang Wei.

"Hello teacher." Zuo Xue, who was interrupted by her thoughts, saw the message of the caller on the screen, then she took back her thoughts, answered the phone with her right hand, and greeted politely.

Words contain respect.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Wei's gentle and natural voice came over and asked, "Have you eaten, Xiaoxue?"

"Not yet, teacher, are you going to treat me to a meal?" Zuo Xue was stunned when she heard these words, and a smile appeared on her face and she quipped.

"Hahaha, I'm also going to go to the cafeteria if you don't eat. OK, I'll treat my good student to a meal next time."

The confidential phone paused for a few seconds, and Yang Wei's heartfelt laughter came out. After recording a meal, his voice was slightly serious: "Today's call is mainly to tell you two good news. First, the Z-1 stealth concept machine plan has been selected into the first batch of concept machine design catalog and submitted. Four models are to be selected. Currently, the Iranian team is under review. If you are lucky, your Z-1 stealth concept machine may be selected."

Z-1 stealth concept machine!

Zuo Xue was a little surprised when she heard the information given by Yang Wei. She didn't expect the Iranians to be so fast.

From the time she received a notification from her teacher Yang Wei, to the improvement of the aerodynamic layout design of the Z-1 stealth concept machine, and now being included in the first batch of concept machine design catalogs, the whole process took only one month.

Are Iranians so urgent?

There are four models in the first batch of concept machine design catalogs. In other words, the Z-1 stealth concept machine has a 25% chance of being selected.

"Teacher, it means that the joint stealth fighter development plan has officially started?" Zuo Xue asked curiously.

"Well, yes, the joint stealth fighter development plan has been approved by the superiors and has officially started, with a total investment of US$80 billion. Iran has invested 30% of the initial funds for preliminary research. It is expected to produce 300 aircraft, and the estimated price of a single aircraft is US$260 million." Yang Wei did not hide it and directly revealed the general content of the joint stealth fighter development plan to Zuo Xue, and then reminded: "Confidentiality Level 2 Top Secret."

$80 billion!

This is the total investment amount that the two parties have continuously weighed and negotiated.

China provides technology and personnel, Iran provides all funds and sends relevant personnel to participate in the fighter jet development plan. In the early stage, Chengfei produced 180 aircraft, and in the later stage, 120 aircraft were produced and manufactured by Iran.

Zuo Xue learned the information and thoughtfully sighed: "The Iranians can take a big advantage for a single flight of US$260 million."

Very cheap.

Absolutely big cheap.

A single $260 million seems expensive, but this thing is a fourth-generation heavy stealth fighter. It is a priceless existence that travels all over the world.

Want to buy it?

Sorry, I won't sell it at all, don't even mention the price.

The fourth generation of heavy stealth fighters and the powerful aviation industry cannot be bought with money.

It is already a lucky thing to be able to obtain the fourth generation of heavy stealth fighter jets, not to mention Iran's side, it also needs to introduce production lines and send relevant personnel to participate in the design team for learning, greatly increasing the foundation and comprehensive strength of Iran's aviation industry.

After the joint stealth fighter development plan is completed, the Iranian air force and aviation industry will undergo qualitative changes and achieve a leap-like improvement.

Iran seems to have spent a heavy price of $80 billion, but in fact, it has received a real aviation industry and a powerful air force.

If a country wants to be truly strong, there is no shortcut to take.

"Xiaoxue, report to Chengfei in a week and get your Z-1 concept machine PPT report ready. Do you understand?"

On the phone, Yang Wei's voice became serious: "You are the most talented genius I have ever seen with aircraft design. Whether it is a dragon or a worm, it depends on this review meeting."

"I understand, teacher." Zuo Xue took a deep breath when she heard this and replied.

The words were full of solemn meaning.

"Also, if the Z-1 concept machine is selected, you have to be mentally prepared. I will serve as the nominal chief designer, but you can only rely on yourself for the entire fighter development plan." Yang Wei continued to instruct.

Zuo Xue responded: "I know, teacher."

25% chance of selection!

If you really choose, it means soaring to Zuo Xue, who is still in school at a young age.

Yang Wei serves as chief engineer, and Zuo Xue, as the actual developer of Z-1 concept machine, will serve at least the position of director or deputy chief engineer.

What is soaring into the sky?

That's it!

"Okay, let's say the second good news."

Yang Wei's voice suddenly changed, solemn and solemn: "Comrade Zuo Xue, congratulations to you for winning the Second Prize of Military Science and Technology of the Military Science and Technology applied by the National University of Defense Science and Technology, and commend your outstanding contribution to the Navy's 'Pufferfish' micro-underwater thruster project. The overall technology of the project has made significant innovations, is at the leading level in the military and international leading level, and has a significant promoting effect on the combat effectiveness of the military. According to the Discipline and Regulations, the Equipment Development Department of the Military Commission specially awarded Comrade Zuo Xue a second-class merit."

“Thanks to the school, thanks to the organization.”

When Zuo Xue was stunned when she heard what Yang Wei read solemnly. Even though she was calm, she couldn't help but be moved. She immediately stood up and responded in a serious voice.

Second Prize for Military Science and Technology.

The Military Commission’s Equipment Development Department will award the second-class merit once.

These two extremely valuable honors are of great significance to Zuo Xue, a soldier and military scientific researcher.

It is a reward, an encouragement, and even more certain!

This is true for military personnel and for military scientific researchers.

"Really speaking, this good news should be announced by your mentor Su Rui, but Su Rui specifically asked me to announce it, Comrade Zuo Xue, congratulations, you have become a real national defense scientific researcher now," Yang Wei said gently and said slowly.
Chapter completed!
