Feng, do you still have the original Col. Zhang test pilot interview? I can't find my own copy.
Yang Xiang interview, google translated.
February 27, a flight of the "F-10 aircraft project," the State Scientific and Technological Progress Award, special projects. This will show that the F-10 aircraft project for the upgrading of the overall technological level of China's aviation industry to make an important contribution. Therefore, the interview has served as a deputy commander of the F-10 aircraft development projects, deputy director of research and development site, deputy director of flight test site, the project director Yan Xiang.
She started from the demonstration program, to participate in the entire process of developing the F-10 aircraft, To enhance development of a management model has made a major contribution.
Reporter : In your program from the 1984 demonstration, the F-10 aircraft involved in the entire development process. As a leading and important participants in the project, you please tell us about the background of the F-10 aircraft development.
Yanxiang: the 20th century the late 1970s to 16. "Mirage" 2000 represented the third generation of advanced fighters have spread to the West of China's neighboring countries and regions. At that time, as the main equipment for the F-6, F-7, etc. First, second-generation fighters have built up a strong technological edge so that our national security is facing a serious challenge. In this context, China's leader Deng Xiaoping said : "We want fighters, engaging in a new, good performance fighters. "This is the origin of the F-10 project. Although determined to develop new fighter planes, but the specific definition of new fighter planes, We still a relatively long way to go. At that time, thanks to our technical foundation is weak, and whether they have the ability to develop the third-generation fighter was not initially very confident.
In 1984, the first demonstration of new fighter planes, Shenyang, Nanchang and Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute put forward their respective programs. Chengdu, which is more innovative layout ducks. At the initial stage, we can only have a certain layout of the overall aerodynamic research foundation, and in other countries such as engines and avionics. The flight control and other aspects of the research program that was gradually formed. At that time the environment for reform and opening up, the military had hoped that the West will introduce a certain type of third-generation fighter. and the aviation industry has also hope to introduce advanced technologies. Certainly not the other transfer of technology, an astronomical figure out the price far beyond our capacity to bear. makes our country gave up the idea of purchasing fighter planes and technology. From the cancellation of planned purchases promoted to a certain extent, the development of a new type of Chinese-made fighters. Our air relatively low mobility of the middle-duck good layout, And we have our own aviation industry has accumulated a certain technology. In contrast to many programs based on the finalization of new fighter planes used duck layout, and then combined with other factors. Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute and the Chengdu Aircraft Industrial Company selected assume that the F-10 fighter aircraft to develop new work.
Reporter : Some people think the F-10 fighter copy of a foreign duck layout program, how do you think that is?
Yanxiang : This does not conform to the facts. Undeniable, good and we are actively conducting the international cooperation in the external environment of our technical cooperation will be defined at the time the world's first new combat aircraft advanced level preponderance of great help, so we have a higher starting point, our new fighter planes with a big leap in technology. However, the principle is the principle of international cooperation and building design. Mainly concentrated in the area of technical cooperation in key areas of software technology; Major technical advice, design review, The fundamental purpose is to improve the technological level and develop our own capacity. We do not have to spend money to help people to help us run the design, nor did the bulk purchase of hardware. Overall design of the development work are specific to the principal. Through international cooperation, our technical level was noticeably improved, engineering and technical personnel to update the design concepts, and establish a "top-down design. Comprehensive bottom-up "design. So we need to emphasize is that the F-10 aircraft is totally independent intellectual property rights. others just gave us some ideas and methods.
Reporter : J-10 aircraft in the entire development process, or any major repeatedly encountered great difficulties?
Yanxiang : Overall, the development of the F-10 aircraft is still quite smooth. We have jokingly said that the F-10 "luck" very good and no major technical failures and repeated. Especially in the later test flight, crashed off without a prototype. created a new world record of the history of the FBW aircraft flights. This also proves the system is, in fact, we are developing a full digital fax a high level, the quality effective security management. If there repeatedly, is there have been no major changes in engine selection. According to the initial plan, the installation of the F-10 aircraft is 15 turbojet engine. However, because almost 15 turbojet aircraft and the simultaneous development of the F-10, technical risk. To the 20th century, the late 1980s, the relations between China and the Soviet Union became relaxed, and then the disintegration of the Soviet Union. We AL-31 from Russia may become a high-thrust turbofan engine. F-10 aircraft for the development of international cooperation has provided an important opportunity. AL-31 engine of our delegation to travel to Russia in 1990 carried out an inspection. specifically include inspecting the matching engine and the F-10 aircraft. and with the Russians to explore the feasibility of changing the location of engine casing. In 1992, China and Russia signed a final contract to introduce AL-31 engine. Replacement of the engine design changes, the entire F-10 aircraft development progress delayed by about one and a half years. Of course, the specific terms of the development process, or very difficult. F-10 to start the technical foundation of China's aviation industry is very poor, and the F-10 and positioning are very high, very new, the extent that almost all the systems, products, materials, technology upswing have sometimes are not supporting the development of this series. Development of the F-10 is inconceivable. In addition to the flight control, navigation to new development, including power supply systems, hydraulic systems, fuel measurement systems, braking systems, environmental control systems, pilot anti-G suit, oxygen system, emergency power system, such as 60% of the airborne products are brand new. This was once caused a lot of controversy, but finally we have overcome all sorts of difficulties, these have withstood the pressure of success. It is even harder in the manufacturing process, the F-10 aircraft hull life expectancy was about more than double the previous models. used to damage tolerance design, the processing technology has undergone tremendous changes. For example, many large components from the previous riveting process into the overall process and the high demand for materials and equipment. F-10 plane is also used a lot of composite material, which is the overall composite front wings. also a high demand for the technology. In short, by the F-10 aircraft development, making the overall technological level of China's aviation industry has been upgraded. system development and other related industries. Management of the scheme, according to the experience. Before we work on the formulation of a work in the network map and the road map process, the project has made comprehensive planning. A test flight as an example, the preparatory work had already begun in 2007 before the maiden flight. We also set a model, the management system, at the beginning of each year. All the projects have been clear targets and milestones nodes, a very good guiding role in the development of the project. Synergy is key to the project's success. F-10 aircraft in the process of development, cooperation and coordination between the military and we were very good. The military is not just supervisors, as well as participants in the project design. In addition, pilots involved in the design process to staff and so on. We also require a great deal of coordination with the designers of the contradictions between the actual manufacturing capacity, so advanced and achieve the best balance between the technology.
Reporter : Finally, you please give a brief evaluation of the F-10 aircraft, the F-10 and to discuss the future direction of improvement.
Yanxiang : From the beginning of the project, we will catch up with the third-generation fighter in the international development goals set for the F-10. It now appears that this goal has been achieved. The successful development of the F-10 aircraft, successfully completed "generation crew developed to establish a first-class base. created contingent "of the three major tasks. F-10 aircraft will continue to improve, and further improve our overall operational efficiency. to meet the needs of future high-tech wars. In addition, the F-10 aircraft excellent maneuverability, loading capacity and the ability to have short take-off and landing aircraft carrier into the huge potential
