Chapter 1126 MiG-33

Moscow, Mikoyan Design Bureau.

This was not the first time that Andrei came to the Mikoyan Design Bureau, but every time Andrei came, it was an unforgettable experience for the Mikoyan Design Bureau. The Mikoyan Design Bureau continued to develop with the repeated encouragement of Marshal Andrei.

In the past, the Mikoyan Design Bureau was still very guilty because the progress of their fighter planes had been constantly delayed! But now, they can finally muster up the courage to welcome Marshal Andrei because they have submitted a satisfactory answer!

"Marshal Andrei, welcome to the Mikoyan Design Bureau." Belyakov, the chief designer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, said to Andrei: "After our intensive research and development, our MiG 1.44 project can finally be finalized!"

Finalized! Now that the Su-37 has been put into service on aircraft carriers, and the American F-22 has begun to threaten the Soviet air defense forces, the Mikoyan Design Bureau has worked hard day and night to finally successfully develop this fighter jet that embodies all the efforts of the Soviet aviation industry!

The canard-style fuselage focuses on the performance of high angle of attack, and the instantaneous flight is definitely the first of this era! The nose is diamond-shaped, and the air intake is specially treated. The whole aircraft is quite similar to the later J-20!

At the same time, MiG 1.44 is just a project code. After the fighter is finalized, there will be a formal production model. Now, the aircraft of the Mikoyan Design Bureau should use the MiG-33 number.

There is a very strange phenomenon in the numbering of Soviet fighter planes. For example, the well-known MiG planes are almost all odd-numbered, such as MiG-15, MiG-17, all the way to MiG-31, all are odd numbers. This is a tradition and at the same time, it is also very simple. The rule is that odd numbers are for air defense and even numbers are for others.

Under the leadership of Belyakov, Andrei and others went straight to the hangar and saw this fighter plane with an extremely familiar appearance.

First of all, at first glance, you can find a problem: this plane is neither black nor yellow.

The yellow skin is the primer applied after the fighter is manufactured, while the black skin is the color after the radar-absorbing coating is applied. Now, the color of this exterior is gray, almost the same color as the hazy sky.

"Has our stealth coating technology improved again?" Andre asked.

"Yes, after we got the wreckage of the American F-22 fighter, we studied the stealth coating on it and were deeply inspired. We developed our own stealth coating. The previous black coating was only suitable for night use. Painting our air superiority fighters black was just a last resort."

Stealth is not just about radar invisibility, but also visual invisibility! Why are most fighter planes gray? Of course, it’s to make them hard to be spotted in the sky!

The Su-37 is painted black to avoid radar stealth. During the day, this type of fighter is easier to be spotted visually. In the clear sky, that little black dot is too eye-catching!

It was not that the Soviet engineers were unwilling to paint it a different color, but that this radar-absorbing coating was too difficult to make. After debugging, they found that changing the color would greatly reduce the radar-absorbing ability.

The United States' advantage in stealth technology is quite obvious. American stealth aircraft have been mature since the F-117 era, and now, various radar-absorbing coatings are emerging in an endless stream.

Last time, an F-22 crashed in Turkey. Under pressure from the Soviet Union, Turkey had to surrender to the Soviet Union and agreed to let the Soviet Union salvage the fighter. In addition to discovering that the fighter was carrying a nuclear bomb, the Soviet Union also disassembled and analyzed the fighter thoroughly.

For the Soviet Union, the advantages of American aviation technology are stealth technology and engines! These require continuous technological accumulation!

"In addition to the stealth coating, our engines are also mature." Belyakov continued: "Our progress has always been limited by the engine. In the past, we were forced to use the D-30 engine for test flights. However, after carefully analyzing the American engine, the Lyulka Design Bureau improved some designs. The thrust of the engine has fully reached the predetermined design, but it is still lacking in terms of lifespan."

Engine! The development of an engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 10, especially the increased intermediate thrust, that is, the non-afterburner thrust, for supersonic cruise, is full of twists and turns! After obtaining the F22 engine, the Lyulka Design Bureau also made rapid progress!

Andre nodded. Now, their aircraft is definitely stronger than the American F-22. It has absorbed the opponent's strengths and also combined their own advantages. For example, in terms of electronic systems, theirs is definitely better than that of the United States!

Andre, full of interest, climbed the gangway and sat in the cockpit, looking at the glittering gold-plated cockpit cover. The cockpit inside was also different from the previous Soviet cockpits.

It does not meet the standard of one flat and three down, and has only two large LCD screens. At the same time, there are some mechanical instruments between the LCD screens to ensure basic flight capabilities in case the electronic display fails.

"For the first few prototypes, we still used ordinary mechanical instruments. This is the sixth prototype, and we have made bold changes, relying mainly on LCD displays, with mechanical displays as backup." Belyakov said: "This aircraft is considered a pre-production model and will be flown to Zhukovsky for test flights."

In addition to the instruments, the operating stick is also different. Like the US F-16 fighter, it began to use a side stick.

In previous aircraft, there was a joystick between the legs and a throttle lever on the left. Now, the joystick between the legs has been moved to the right side. The advantage of this is that the seat inclination angle can be increased, making it easier to operate under high overload.

Seeing Andrei's enthusiasm, Belyakov was also sweating, fearing that Marshal Andrei would propose to fly the plane around in the sky. Back then, Marshal Andrei ejected the Su-37 directly from the deck and drove it back! Before that, Marshal Andrei had never had the experience of taking off from the deck.

Marshal Andre has an immense passion for airplanes!

Fortunately, Marshal Andre wiggled in the cockpit for a while and finally came out.

"It's hard to say what the situation will be like now. If our aircraft has no defects and is finalized, we can enter the initial pre-production stage. At the same time, we must quickly train qualified pilots." Andre said, "We must be prepared to switch to wartime production at any time."

Turn to wartime! This sentence made everyone who heard it stunned. Considering the current situation, is it true that World War III is going to happen?
