Chapter 290 stovL



After playing with the little brother for a while, the fatigue from the busy day seemed to disappear. The brother and sister happily went to eat hot pot. They grew up together and their tastes were similar, so there was no problem for them not being able to eat from the same pot.

Wu Tong hadn't told Jin Xin about the project yet, waiting for the project to be approved and the personnel to be in place before seeing the young man's surprise. Wu Tong had to admit, she had a bit of a mischievous taste. She wanted to see the young man be surprised again, to hear her own young man's funny jokes, but that was never enough!

Late that evening, Wu Tong and Jin Xin didn't want anything too spicy, so they ordered a Donglaishun restaurant near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. As the pot steamed, they dipped the fresh lamb into the broth and then into the less spicy, more spicy sauce. The taste was truly delicious!

"One of the happiest things in life is to eat and drink to one's heart's content. It's true that good food is the only thing you can't miss! It's true!" Jin Xin is a typical carnivore. He picks up some mutton with his chopsticks, dips it in the appropriate seasoning, and stuffs it full in one mouthful. Especially today, the excitement of witnessing the H-20's maiden flight and the joy of meeting Tongtong, intertwined together, that is the most beautiful thing in the world.

"However, after all, the food here is not as authentic as the last time we ate in Beijing!" This is the only slight regret.

"Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are called oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are called tangerines. Their leaves are similar, but their tastes are different. Outside of Shangjing, the tastes vary from place to place, so slight adjustments are inevitable. The Donglaishun in Shangjing is still more authentic. Next time we are both in Shangjing, we will bring our family to eat it again!" Wu Tong nodded. The taste was not bad, but it was a little off. They were not picky connoisseurs, so this taste was enough.

"This location is great. Looking out the window of our reserved private room, the place is brightly lit and bustling with activity. Diagonally across is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and not far away is the Tang Dynasty City that never sleeps, which was completed last year. This is a major project here that has received considerable support, and it's already taking shape! I estimate it will be even more bustling and prosperous in two years. From what people have said about it, it's quite interesting!"

After a hearty meal to fill his empty stomach, Jin Xin glanced out the window and smoothly introduced Wu Tong. He had entered the research institute upon arrival, conducting confidential research, so he certainly couldn't come and go as he pleased. He hadn't even explored this ancient capital of thirteen dynasties.

However, after being with the school for a long time, the information he gained from communicating with people would definitely be much better than that of Tongtong, who had just arrived.

"It's a good place. I'll let my family come over and have a look when they have time!" Wu Tong now feels that occasional business trips are also a good opportunity to gain experience. If you come across a good place, you can recommend your family to come and have a look. It's great!

"My mom is here, and she's going to praise you as her little cotton-padded jacket again!" Jin Xin chuckled. Tongtong was more attentive than him. "Aunt is fine. She has long vacations during the winter and summer holidays, but uncle's vacation is a bit rare!"

A full-time job offers enviable stability and benefits, but of course it has its limitations. However, a family trip is meant to be complete and enjoyable, and without two important family members, the fun wouldn't be complete. My family will definitely wait until my uncle is free before we go on a trip.

"As long as they're happy!" Right now, the tourism industry isn't as booming as it will be in the future, so it's okay to travel during the holidays to experience the crowds and excitement. In a few years, vacations will become difficult, and my parents will be nearing retirement age, giving them more free time.

After eating and drinking enough and getting high-quality sleep, the next day was another new beginning for Wu Tong, full of energy!

The most confidential area inside Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation's Lu Xiao's office.

The complex aerodynamic layout of the fighter plane design was spread out on the table. Lu Xiao explained his design concept and principles to Wu Tong in detail. The starting point...

Having worked on the two major projects, J-20 and H-20, Wu Tong is no stranger to the fighter jet sector, especially the fighter jet parameter optimization sector, in which he can be said to be proficient.

She quickly absorbed Lu Xiao's ideas, recorded important parameters, and finally understood the entire layout. As she gained a deeper understanding, Wu Tong became more and more amazed by Lu Xiao's overall design.

China is heading for the deep blue, and its ships will have significant breakthroughs in research and development in recent years. Especially with the successful first test of the aircraft carrier in August, the Chinese amphibious ready group will have an increasingly urgent demand for carrier-based fighter jets. The pre-research plan of the J-35 was born out of this need.

When Lu Xiao was designing, he and Wu Tong had a detailed discussion and exchanged ideas, and finally determined the basic positioning of the fighter jet they wanted to build.

"Based on our initial discussions, the J-35 design follows a single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth, multi-role design designed to perform air superiority and attack missions. It can also provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities... Most importantly, it can take off and land vertically, with short or instant takeoff!"

Wu Tong nodded. She understood that what they were developing wasn't just any ordinary carrier-based aircraft! "A short-range or instant takeoff STovL fighter with a larger combat radius and more weapons!"

stovL translates to short takeoff and vertical landing. It can be used for conventional takeoff and landing, which is CTOL.

Compared with traditional CTOLS, STOVL requires fewer flight deck facilities. At most, it only needs a ski-jump flight deck to allow the fighter to take off, and the simplicity of vertical landing is even more of a given. Therefore, the bulky, complex and expensive catapults and arresting cables are eliminated, greatly reducing operation, procurement costs and failure rates.

The short take-off and vertical landing method of fighter jets is different from vertical take-off and vertical landing.

These design requirements are more than just simple phrases; taken together, they represent the key challenges of aerospace research. The greatest challenge lies in STovL, the basic variant of conventional takeoff and landing, and carrier-based aircraft technology, in which they already have a certain foundation.

The J-35 has a major breakthrough design, all of which is aimed at creating a stronger fighter, especially the electromagnetic catapult, which Lu Xiao has mastered to perfection. Fortunately, Wu Tong has a good foundation in physics, otherwise it would be difficult to get started.

"We still need to optimize the engine!" Lu Xiao placed his hopes on Wu Tong to maximize the success of his plan. If anyone in China could optimize the WS-15S, arguably the best available, or even better, upgrade it, Lu Xiao felt it would be Wu Tong.

"This is a must. I have already contacted Mr. Yang, and we will be upgrading and optimizing the design and development of WS-15S in the near future!" Wu Tong nodded. She has already started working on this area, which is the part she is good at, and she feels obligated to do it.
