Through the flight test of Yun-9, the two modification plans proposed by Chen Xin were also recognized.
Although the situation in the stratosphere still does not allow aircraft to fly, at least the transformation plan proposed by Chen Xin can allow aircraft to fly in the troposphere, which is great news for the current situation.
Although maintaining the aircraft in the troposphere will encounter very severe convective weather compared to the stratosphere and consume more fuel due to various conditions, this is better than being unable to fly or having to overhaul the entire aircraft once it flies. Well come.
Of the two methods, the more cost-effective method is naturally to modify the air inlet of the aircraft. After all, if electric drive compensation is installed, the engine must be modified, which is relatively high in terms of time and cost.
So in the end, after some discussion and research, the senior management decided to adopt the method of transforming the air intake duct.
Moreover, this method has also been improved in the hands of researchers. It only needs to cut a hole under the original air inlet and connect the new air intake duct. It does not require the entire air intake duct to be redone. Do.
The final product looks like an extra plug-in has been added, but in terms of effect, it is very practical.
As for the electric drive compensation plan for modifying the engine, although this plan was very good, it was not implemented in the end. It was only decided to modify one or two aircraft for the research of electric drive engines.
After all, compared to the air filter modification solution, the nuclear-powered electric drive solution is obviously more valuable and more attractive.
However, these studies were not handed over to Chen Xinxin, but to several research institutes that originally studied aircraft engines. The design drawings of the new aircraft prepared by Chen Xin were also handed over to the research department for research and trial production.
This is not a national requirement, but Chen Xin's initiative that he is not responsible for the development of new aircraft.
After all, this is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive job, and he has already prepared the drawings. As long as he makes the airplane according to the drawings, he can build the airplane.
The subsequent work is nothing more than adjusting or improving various problems of the prototype, which requires professionals to spend a lot of time to complete, and indeed Chen Xin does not need to do it himself.
Although if he did it, all the problems would be solved with just one or two upgrades.
Of course, the country did not let Chen Xin just idle, but entrusted him with the development of new, more advanced fighter jets.
In today's environment, the country's military power has of course also been weakened.
Fortunately for the Army, although its mobility is limited, ordinary soldiers can still exert sufficient combat capabilities. Although the offense is insufficient, it is still no problem to defend against the enemy's attack.
Especially after Chen Xin provided exoskeleton protective clothing, the military has been mass-producing this new equipment. It has been installed in most of the main combat units, greatly improving the military's combat effectiveness.
Although there is no assistance from mechanized equipment, the individual combat capabilities are still better than before the disaster, and they are enough to fight against any ground forces.
Although in such an environment, neighboring countries do not have the ability to attack Yan State, this does not mean that the military can relax its vigilance.
It's just that although the Army is still capable of fighting, the Navy and Air Force are about to be shaved off.
The Air Force's problem is mainly a problem with aircraft engines. Neither jets nor propeller aircraft can fly in dust-filled air.
However, relying on the new air filter and improvement plan provided by Chen Xin, and the environment is gradually recovering, the Air Force aircraft are also gradually unblocking, and the combat power has finally been restored to a certain extent, so that those trained with heavy money will not be worth more than gold. The precious pilots were just wasted.
But the problems faced by the navy are much more serious.
The rising coastline has swallowed up the Navy's original ports and bases, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Navy.
Not to mention the damage caused by the global fire caused by the meteorite impact to the warships that could not escape. After losing the coastal ports, the warships were damaged and could not even find a suitable place to repair them.
The subsequent sudden drop in temperature froze the sea surface, rendering all warships useless.
Faced with ice several meters thick, even nuclear-powered aircraft carriers can hardly play their role, and professional icebreakers cannot break through ice several meters thick.
This makes all members of the Navy really want to become Marine Corps.
Of course Chen Xin knew about this situation. Even if he didn't know, people from the military would tell him the news and wouldn't let him, the person most likely to solve the problem, not know about the situation.
But what Chen Xin can currently solve is the problem of Air Force aircraft. Although there is no way to deal with the Navy's warships, under the current circumstances, the cost and time involved in moving the warships are too high.
Chen Xin doesn't want to touch those tens of thousands of tons of steel constructions yet, but it would be a good choice to help the Air Force design several new aircraft.
Although under the current circumstances, the Air Force's helicopters and some propeller aircraft have gradually resumed flight capabilities, jet aircraft are still unable to fly.
It is not only the problem of engine air intake, but also the problem of dust and particles in the air when the aircraft itself flies at supersonic speeds.
You must know that even an ordinary commercial airliner can be knocked down by a bird, let alone a fighter jet traveling at supersonic speeds?
Even if there are no birds in the sky now, those fine particles and dust can still cause great damage to the aircraft.
This can be seen from the previous test flight of the Y-9, which only flew in the stratosphere for a short period of time. After coming down, the fuselage was covered with small scratches, and even the propeller was damaged.
Faced with this situation, the military and state leaders naturally hope to have an aircraft that can cope with the current situation.
Several domestic aircraft research and development institutions were originally competing for this research and development task, and they had already begun to have some research and development intentions and ideas. However, Chen Xin couldn't bear it and built a mature four-rotor aircraft within seven days. It was still like an Osprey helicopter. Such a tilt rotor!
This is currently the fastest and most technologically advanced helicopter on Blue Star, but Chen Xin's new aircraft is even more advanced than the Osprey.
The top management had no way to ignore Chen Xin's existence, and the military strongly recommended Chen Xin to develop new aircraft.
In their opinion, Chen Xin will definitely be able to complete this task in a short period of time, which is much faster than leaving it to other research and development institutions that may take years or even decades to produce results.
