It, the majestic appearance of the tough lines made the test pilot "excited" it,It is the "fighting machine" of the Chinesecalled"Veyron".And military fans who love it call it"Black Ribbon".It is China's own intellectual property rightsJ-20 fighter13 years ago todayThe J-20 made its first flight and soared into the sky!
The first time I saw it was a glimpse, and the goodbye was amazing, surging, and in the past 13 years, the J-20 has experienced too many wonderful thingsA lightning bolt in the great southwest of the motherlandJanuary 11, 2011Wenjiang Airport, Chengdu City, located in the southwest of the motherland, is very cold and the heart is very hot.
The eyes of hundreds of people inside and outside the stadium.
are attracted by a new fighter with a sci-fi appearanceWith a roar, it soared into the air! The flame at the tail of the fighter engine turned from red to yellow and from yellow to blue, dragging a long tail flame, and I saw that this black-painted fighter plane was like a lightning flashing by, straight into the sky, turning around, and ......passing through the field at a low altitudeAt 13:11, the plane landed lightly, some people cheered, and some people wept
Data map: On the day of the first flight of the J-20, the onlookers on the periphery of an airport in Chengdu "climbed the wall" **Global Network Military was a complete success! The J-20 was bornShocked the worldIn one fell swoop, he has become the brightest star in today's aviation and military circles! However, many people may not know that in 2009 US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates once arrogantly said in a speech:"Chinese Air ForceNo stealth fighters will be built in 2025! ”But just over a year later, the appearance of the J-20 slapped him in the face, and Gates later wrote in his book"The J-20 makes the US intelligence department embarrassed! ”
To create a fifth-generation fighter
How hard is it, exactly?
Why did the Americans say this? After all, the development of a fifth-generation fighter is by no means an easy taskTo create a fifth-generation fighterHow hard is it, exactly? American F-22 fighter jet: The first prototype of the American F-22 made its first flight in 1990But it wasn't until 2001, more than 10 years laterbefore mass productionThe Russian Su-57 fighter was slightly later than the American, at the end of the 80s of the 20th century.
The Soviet Union also began the development of a new generation of fighters, but due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the economic problems in Russia after that, the development was stalled for a timeIt was not until 2010 that the first prototype made its first flightEquipping troops is even more in 2019And it can only be produced in small batches
In recent years, many countries have also tried to develop fifth-generation fighters, but the "results" they obtained
Either the overall performance does not reach the level of the fifth-generation fighter, or the project is forced to be discontinued.
The difficulty of developing the fifth-generation fighter can be imagined, so Gates will have the above-mentioned wild words, so compared with the above-mentioned models, what kind of process has the J-20 gone through?
It took only 7 years from the first flight to the mounted troops!
The glorious history of the J-20
In fact, it was when Gates unleashed his wild words.
The development of the J-20 has already begunDevelopment of the J-20.
It is based on its own strategic goals.
Play to your strengthsto create a suitable development path for China's equipmentA new generation of fighters
In the development process of the J-20, if you want to enter and surpass the first echelon in the world aviation field, the most fundamental guarantee is to innovate unique strategic needs, independent development routes, and continuous innovation in application capabilitiesWhen the Chinese fighter is studiedWhen these goals are achievedChina has changed from a "follower" to a "follower"."Object studied".However, the success of the first flight of the J-20 is only the first step in the long march, after which the J-20 also carried out a number of tests, in order to achieve the best ergonomics of the cockpit, the weight reduction reached 200 kilograms, and it took only 10 days to complete the test workload that originally took 3 months, conquering the overall frame manufacturing known as the "leap frame", and then breaking the record ...... of "Asia's first frame".Testing, flight testing, and finalization workAchieve important results in a short period of time!
