Dragoon fighter

"What's wrong, what's Aurora? What's the goddess of dawn?" Chen Haiqing on the ground felt that Lin Mo's language was obviously abnormal, as if he had seen something very surprising. From the radio, he heard an extremely low voice. But it was very loud, like thunder, like the rolling thunder brewing in the thunderclouds, which seemed close but far away.

But in fact, there shouldn't be any thunderclouds at the altitude where Lin Mo is now. This sound is obviously not the sound of the X1's own engine.

"The old American hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft is a big triangle with a sweep angle of 75 degrees. It's absolutely right. I'm an expert in aircraft design." Lin Mo didn't seem to be lowering the altitude. The ground showed that his X-1 had been stable. At an altitude of 24,000 meters, Lin Mo's voice was heard again: "The altitude is estimated to be around 30,000 meters. At my three o'clock position, it should have spotted me. I have turned on the active radar and cannot track it." It's too fast, simply too fast. I hope its target is not me. Judging from the wake, it should be a pulse detonation engine. It's really, damn, powerful enough."

Lin Mo used a rare curse word, and finally said: "I can't catch it. Even if it is loaded with missiles, it will be useless. The speed of the tunnel guy is twice that of the missile. If you want to defeat it, you can only use directed energy weapons." , OK, I lost it, disappeared from my sight, and disappeared in less than twenty seconds, leaving only a series of intermittent trails."

……Aurora,? It's really "Aurora. 1" Chen Haiqing was dumbfounded. In one test flight, he could hit the hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft of the United States sneaking into [China]. At this speed, unless a surface-to-air missile that predicts the route is used to intercept it, , otherwise it will be difficult to shoot down.

There is really no way, even the domestic air defense system, it is difficult to track this kind of reconnaissance aircraft that can reach 8 times the speed of sound, and can fly up to an altitude of nearly 40,000 meters. Even the American air defense system in the world cannot defeat it. .

At an altitude of nearly 40,000 meters, unless you use a high-power laser weapon, you can basically just watch it pass by, but a target moving at such a fast speed has already disappeared within the effective shooting angle before you can take aim.

The "Dawn Goddess" hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft, also known as "Aurora", is said to be officially numbered as It can carry three people and uses methane as fuel. The body is 3 meters long and 7 meters high.

meters, with a total weight of 83 tons. It adopts a large triangular body with a sweep angle of 75 degrees. The tail adopts a fully moving double vertical tail. It has two combined cycle engines, mainly pulse detonation engines, and is mainly aimed at achieving ultimate speed. supersonic cruise stealth reconnaissance aircraft.

The research and development expenses are approximately 4.4 billion to 8 billion US dollars, and the production cost of each aircraft is close to 2 billion US dollars. It can even be called the king of reconnaissance aircraft in the world, and has been deployed in military focus areas such as the Middle East many times.

"Don't think about it, we are being targeted. Fortunately, you didn't fire the J-14 or J-20. If you had known earlier, you should have installed two SD-10s. If you could shoot them down, I guess your "Monster" would be available right away. All R\u0026D funds, I guarantee.

It goes without saying that if the X-1 can be used as the "Dawn Goddess (Aurora)", the high-altitude strategic reconnaissance aircraft of the United States will not be laid off collectively because of China's mass production of the X-1.

The "Dawn Goddess (Aurora)" hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft that Lin Mo mentioned should have passed by nearby at an extremely fast speed. There is no doubt that it probably got the information and took advantage of the National Defense Star (nds). The United States has been doing test flights of a new generation of fighter jets and engines, and has come here specifically for reconnaissance.

Young Master Chen regretted not letting Lin Mo bring two of the most advanced air-to-air missiles currently in China. Otherwise, if this huge methane smoke exploded, Lin Mo would probably have to hold the rank of captain before he could hold it back. He took it down to say goodbye and was promoted to "two cents and one" major.

It was such a pity. Lin Mo might have been beaten down because of his aerial combat ace. Although he might not be of high quality, it would still be better than watching others swagger away now.

"SD-10? It doesn't seem to work. I think it would be more reliable to hang a directed energy weapon pod, or use an electromagnetic pulse bomb to detonate in the air. It is too fast, and you can't hit it if you chase it."

The "Dawn Goddess (Aurora)" hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft that disappeared together left a very deep impression on Lin Mo. Its top speed far exceeded any fighter currently in service. It was exactly the speed Lin Mo had set for the aerial combat weapon he built.

Witnessing this speed with his own eyes shocked Lin Mo and made him full of hope and desire for the "monster". He really wanted to build it earlier and use this speed to soar into the blue sky.

"Forget it, I will mount the weapons pod for you. We can't show it to the Americans for nothing." Chen Haiqing was obviously annoyed that his family's company was test-flying a fighter jet, but the Americans came to watch it uninvited and didn't even pay for the visit. If he was willing to do it, he made up his mind to open the weapons warehouse and arm the three experimental aircraft. Although they were experimental aircraft, they had all kinds of attack functions and could be put on the battlefield with missiles.

"That's it. 1" Lin Mo no longer struggled with the American reconnaissance plane. He couldn't catch up with it or hit it, so he stopped worrying about it and just looked at it more openly.

Fortunately, it was a reconnaissance plane and did not carry weapons, otherwise it would not have allowed anyone to survive.

Lin Mo felt a chill behind his back. He had to create a "monster" quickly. If the United States were to catch up first, he would have no chance of survival. He raided the secret African base of the United States in the first place, and then killed the Lockheed son later. It's a big deal.

After doing a few maneuvers as usual, Lin Mo lowered his altitude and dropped below the clouds. It was still raining heavily. Countless raindrops rustled the body of the machine, but it had no effect on the speed. As long as the fuel system was not hit by direct lightning, it would be fine. , although complete protection is provided, there is still a possibility of failure.

"Pay attention to slipping. You have to slide for a while."

Seeing that X Yanshi was aiming at the runway, Chen Haiqing reminded Lin Mo through the radio that he was preparing to land.

"Got it 1"

Lin Mo replied.

Boom l

A pale flash of light flashed away, and a thick bolt of lightning struck the side of the runway. Although it didn't strike anything, it still shocked people.

"Hoho, today is x-1 Crossing the Small Heavenly Tribulation 1" Lin Mo lowered the landing gear, the aircraft sank, the airflow was completely separated, and it slowly entered the runway. As Mr. Chen said, the road is slippery in rainy days, x- 1

I slid more than a hundred meters more than usual.

The original plan was to... conduct more tests in the sky, but the old American high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft made people feel like they were in the throat, and today's test flight ended hastily. It is really annoying to deal with such high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, especially in thunderstorms, and it is impossible to track them at all. If it can't reach it, let alone shoot it down, it can only be tracked by optical reconnaissance equipment on a clear day. However, it is impossible for the several high-power laser cannons in the country to be on standby around the clock, which are used to deal with strategic nuclear weapons.

The x-1 was dragged into a large 7-meter-high tent by a tractor, and Lin Mo pushed open the cockpit.

Otherwise, as soon as the cabin is opened outside, at least half of the cabin will be filled with water, and the cockpit will become a big bathtub.

"That's it for today. If you hadn't discovered Lao Mei's shadow, we might still be in the dark and expose the information about the experimental machine to them in vain."

Chen Haiqing met Lin Mo who jumped out of the cockpit. As he approached the distance, he felt a rush of cold air. It seemed that at an altitude of nearly 30,000 meters, Lin Mo's complaint was not unreasonable. The coldness at high altitude reached the ground. None have dispersed.

The theoretical flying altitude of a fighter jet is comprehensive, including not only the cabin air pressure, engine combustion efficiency, electronic equipment tolerance, and the pilot's ability to withstand high altitude and low temperatures. In addition, when a fighter jet is basically above an altitude of 5,000 meters, automatic power supply starts in the cockpit. oxygen.

"Sooner or later, I'll knock that guy down from the sky1"

"Yes, report it to Yan Jun immediately."

"Aren't we? 1"

"Uh-yi 1 we are 1"

The test flights of the J-14 and J-20 were postponed for several days. Without exception, each takeoff not only carried air-to-air missiles, but also mounted laser cannon pods. Fortunately, Lin Mo repeatedly Using light microscopy, the mysterious high-altitude, high-speed strategic reconnaissance aircraft was not found again.

"We have agreed that at this year's Le Bourget International Aerospace Exhibition in Paris, you will serve as a test pilot for our defense star. We will take care of your ace." After two weeks of test flight of the experimental machine, Chen Haiqing sent Lin Mo to When we arrived at the airport, the vacation Lin Mo applied for was about to end.

Chen Haiqing was reluctant to let such an air combat ace go to waste. How many pilots did it take to produce one? Who was not valued by superiors and had a promising future? He couldn't hire an ordinary ace, just because of his qualifications.

"Are you good enough to qualify for the world's largest air show?" Lin Mo was quite surprised. If this was not a small market with little technical content, according to his estimation, he would have to participate in an exhibition of this level. Yes, it will take at least three or four years for National Defense Stars (NDS) to accumulate and become famous.

The International Aerospace Exhibition held every two years by the French Aerospace Industry Association at Le Bourget Airport in the northeast of Paris has dozens of countries and nearly 2,000 manufacturers participating in the exhibition. Together with the British Farnborough Air Show, it has become a barometer of the global aviation industry. , and it is also the largest order cake for major aircraft manufacturers.

This shows how eager National Defense Star (NDS), which has invested more than one billion, is to open up the market and obtain greater profit channels as soon as possible.

Only orders are the basis of responsibility.
