Chapter 108: Fighter stealth technology has a long way to go!
When Chief Engineer Yang Wei heard what Li Jianye said, his frown relaxed slightly.
"It seems that I was too suspicious..."
It is not surprising that he would make such an association, mainly because almost all the products that Li Yang has developed so far are inextricably linked to the military industry and play a key role.
and so.
It is also hard not to wonder whether the anti-rust paint for hulls that Li Yang plans to enter will become a product useful to the military industry.
Li Jianye agreed with a smile.
"To be honest with you, Chief Engineer Yang, when Comrade Li Yang told me that he wanted to develop anti-rust paint for ship hulls, I also had the same guess as you did."
"But then I thought about it carefully and it seems unlikely."
"I even suspected that Comrade Li Yang's paint might be related to the coating of fighter planes or ship hulls. So, I specifically consulted Academician Li Xiangguo, an expert on stealth materials for fighter planes and an academician of the Longke Academy of Sciences."
"His explanation was that the fuselage coating wanted to achieve advanced stealth effects and effectively absorb radar reflection waves. Such technology is extremely difficult!"
In the past, he would definitely not waste so much time and energy to verify such things.
But this is Li Yang, the importance of the matter is different...
after all.
It was because of their neglect and lack of attention that they only discovered the advanced carbon fiber developed by Yuwei after it came to the market.
Such a thing can happen once, but it must never happen a second time.
and so.
It's not a bad thing to be more careful and verify it.
Hear the words.
Yang Wei laughed.
Unexpectedly, Li Jianye was even more nervous than him. It seemed that the surprise and shock brought by Li Yang had a lasting effect...
Come to your senses.
Yang Wei put down the teacup, swallowed the hot tea in his mouth, and then gave careful instructions.
"Although our speculations are a bit absurd, no matter what, Li Yang's skills and abilities are obvious to all."
"So, Jianye, please arrange some professionals to conduct some material verification and testing after Li Yang comes up with the so-called hull paint, so as to avoid any mistakes due to our negligence..."
Li Jianye nodded in agreement.
After joking about Yu Wei for a while, Yang Wei's expression turned serious. He stood up and walked to the back of the office. He opened a drawer, took out a file bag, and pulled out the documents inside.
Then he returned to his original position and handed the document in his hand to Li Jianye.
"Jianye, take a look at this intelligence document..."
Yang Wei looked a little worried.
See this.
Li Jianye had a puzzled look on his face. He took the document from him, put on his reading glasses again, and focused his eyes on the document.
When he saw the contents of the document, his cloudy eyes suddenly widened slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyeballs.
"This... in just less than a year, the stealth technology of the Eagle Country's latest stealth fighter has improved again?"
The content of the document is exactly the intelligence information about the United States' new generation, that is, the sixth generation of stealth fighter.
As for where this information came from, it is unknown...
The fact that it was presented to Chief Engineer Yang Wei shows that the information has been confirmed and its content is almost correct.
Yang Wei nodded and said in a heavy tone.
"That's right!"
"Intelligence shows that the sixth-generation fighter jet of the United States has once again achieved a breakthrough in RCS, and its radar reflection wave cross-sectional area is only about 0.04 square meters."
"It may even be lower than this value!"
He rubbed his temple, his face looking a little tired.
The Dragon Country currently has its own national defense development plan and does not regard the Eagle Country as its military industry development target.
But in the final analysis, the other side is still the nominal strongest military country on Blue Star, and many of its strategic weapons and equipment lead the world.
In the research and development of the sixth-generation aircraft, China and the United States are making progress in parallel and can be considered real competitors.
Now the opponent's stealth technology has improved again, which is not good news.
To put it simply, it's just a matter of face.
To put it in a broader sense, this is another contest of military and industrial strength.
At the most critical period of the research and development of the sixth-generation aircraft, the United States suddenly revealed this news to the outside world, which can be said to be ulterior motives and sinister intentions.
When Li Jianye saw some data and information about the sixth-generation aircraft of the United States, he also felt the pressure doubled.
In particular, the American RCS technology pointed out by Yang Wei, that is, the radar cross-section area, has been reduced again to an astonishing 0.04 square meters.
This data is truly shocking!
"I didn't expect that!"
"The latest generation of stealth fighter jets from the United States has achieved a step-by-step improvement in radar cross-sectional area, directly reducing the reflection area to 0.04 square meters!"
Li Jianye sighed.
RCS is an important indicator to measure the stealth performance of a fighter.
The lower the scattering cross-section, the better the stealth performance of the fighter, and the less likely it is to be detected by the enemy radar. Conversely, the worse it is, the easier it is to be locked in radar detection.
The F-22A, the most advanced stealth fighter currently in service in the United States, has attracted a lot of attention around the world.
According to authoritative military media experts, its radar cross-sectional area should be around 0.08 square meters.
The radar cross-section of the S-57 of the Bear Country is approximately 0.1 square meters.
The Dragon Country's J-20A has been in service for several years, has participated in many actual combat military exercises, and has appeared at many air shows.
According to relevant sources.
The RCS of the J-20A is comparable to that of the F-22A, and should be around 0.08 square meters.
It can be said……
This is the most advanced stealth technology used in stealth fighter jets worldwide so far.
But I never expected it.
Even with such an extreme radar cross-section, the United States can still go one step further and achieve an astonishing breakthrough.
Putting aside other things, this breakthrough by the United States is truly amazing!
Yang Wei said at this time.
"The sixth-generation aircraft we are developing now can reach 0.06 square meters under the most extreme RCS theoretical conditions, but in actual test results, it can be stabilized at 0.07 square meters, which is already very good."
"In the field of stealth technology, there is still a long way to go!"
It was because of Li Yang that a major breakthrough was made in the fuselage material, which greatly improved the overall strength of the sixth-generation aircraft.
However, the breakthrough in stealth technology by the United States instantly destroyed this hard-earned advantage.
This is also the reason why Yang Wei is frowning.
Li Jianye also had a helpless look on his face.
"Today, we have done our best to design the appearance of this sixth-generation aircraft in order to achieve the best stealth performance."
"Even the stealth treatment of special components has been taken to the extreme."
"If we want to reduce the size of the RCS and further improve the stealth performance, we can only work on the radar-absorbing materials."
"It's just that this kind of material cannot be developed overnight..."
Yang Wei naturally understood this. He stood up, walked to the window, and spoke as if talking to himself.
"I just hope that the team led by Academician Li Xiangguo can make significant progress in radar-absorbing materials as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
