【IDF“經國號”戰鬥機】臺灣自行研製的三代戰鬥機—IDF“經國號”，掛載“萬劍彈”後只需一枚便可摧毀機場跑道

The IDF "Jingguo" fighter jet is the first third-generation aircraft developed by the Chinese, and it is also the first three-generation aircraft independently developed and taken off by Asian countries . There are several reasons why the Taiwan military, which makes combat aircraft in the United States , has the intention to independently develop jet fighters. First, the F-104 F-5 equipped by the Taiwan Air Force is getting old and needs to be updated urgently . At that time, the best choice in the heart of Taiwan Yes, the United States has just successfully developed the F-16A/B fighter jet , which is second only to the F-15 in the advanced level, but the United States refused to sell it. In this context, the Taiwan authorities decided to develop their own military jet fighter jets. The second DPP government needs to cheer up after taking office. Morale Announced to carry out measures such as "national machine building" and "national ship building". Taiwan's military is limited in size and funding, and cannot develop a large number of self-made military equipment in addition to purchasing American armaments like Japan and South Korea. Taiwan's technology development is the most mature . All kinds of missiles are sensitive and cannot be disclosed to the world. The situation in the third Taiwan Strait is unstable. Once the Taiwan Strait war breaks out, air defense is the key to Taiwan's defense. The Taiwan Air Force currently has 143 F-16 56 Mirage 2000-5 144 F -CK-1 fighter jets all entered service between 1994 and 1997. Another 62 F-5E fighter jets are used as second-line fighter jets. Even if the old F-5E fighter jets are not counted in normal use, all fighter jets should be replaced by 2040. Taiwan plans to In the 2020s , the design of the next generation of fighter jets must be put into mass production at the latest by around 2030 to avoid a shortage of fighter jets . Fourth, Tsai Ing-wen is trying to strengthen Taiwan's military. It is planned to increase Taiwan 's military budget by 50% from the GDP in the 2018 budget. Increase from 2% to 3% The specific details have not yet been determined, so as to help the entire R&D plan of “Sino-Machine and National-made” IDF. It is called “ Anxiang Plan” and is subdivided into four sub-plans . The trial-produced “Yunhan Project” developed the flight control and avionics system “Tianlei Project” and finally the “Tianlei Project” of self-developed air-to- air missiles The entire development plan ultimately cost more than $1 billion The project started in 1983 and completed in 1988 The production of the prototype was delayed for about a year due to software and other reasons, and the first flight was completed on May 28, 1989. On December 10, 1988, the first "IDF" prototype was shipped from the factory and entered into service with the Air Force in 1992. The model of the fighter is "F-CK-1" in which "CK" stands for the word "Jingguo", the abbreviation of Pinyin , and named "Jingguo" fighter to commemorate Chiang Ching-kuo's IDF's mass production in 1994. The initial planned production volume is 250 aircraft, with monthly production The rate of 3 to 5 continued production for five years , but due to the successful procurement of F-16 and Mirage 2000-5 IDF from the United States and France at this time The order quantity has been reduced to 130. Because IDF's research and development is in cooperation with General Dynamics in the United States, it provides technical support, which makes IDF imitate the F-16 in many ways . The large side strips extend all the way to both sides of the cockpit, which can effectively improve the flight performance at high angle of attack, and can also significantly improve the structural strength of the airframe. Single-wing layout in the swept angle Most of the fuselage is made of metal structure, and a small amount of the landing gear using composite IDF is the front three-point type. Emergency arresting cables on the runway Shorten the landing roll distance of the aircraft Pressurized and air-conditioned cockpit adopts Air Conditioning system of Aeronautical Research Corporation Digital fly-by-wire system Controlled by right-hand stick The cabin is equipped with high-angle seats for high overload resistance. MK12 Zero Zero Ejection Seat Provided by Martin Baker IDF originally planned to use an F-404 turbofan engine , but it was changed to TFE-1042-70 because the United States refused to sell it. The engine was originally designed as a power unit for an advanced trainer. The thrust -to-weight ratio is 6.9, and its high-pressure compressor is centrifugal, which is not suitable for use as a power plant for high-speed fighters. The advanced point of using TFE-1042-70 is that it adopts a digital control system, and its acceleration performance is relatively good. From slow to maximum thrust only It takes 5 seconds, and it is easy to detect, maintain, and highly reliable , but it is installed on the IDF, and the thrust-to-weight ratio for normal takeoff is only 0.88 , which is still low for fighter jets. The airborne radar performance of IDF is relatively good. This radar is improved from APG-67. The "Jinlong-53" pulse Doppler radar has 15 operating modes , including 8 air-to-air and 7 air-to-ground functions, and has the capability of over-the-horizon air combat. Its avionics system is also more advanced. It is equipped with a head-up display, two A set of H423 laser gyro inertial navigation system can provide accurate navigation and fire control parameters for the aircraft. The IDF is also equipped with a radar warning receiver and an electronic countermeasure device. Its cockpit The layout is very similar to the F-16. The right side is the flight attitude control lever, and the left side is the engine thrust control lever . The flight seat can be tilted back 30 degrees to improve the pilot's anti-overload capability. IDF fighter crew A, C type 1 person B, D type 2 people 14.48 meters in length , 4.7 meters in height, 8.53 meters in wingspan, 24.26 square meters in wing area , 6,492 kilograms in empty weight, 12,530 kilograms in maximum take-off weight, 12,530 kilograms in maximum take-off weight, 1.8 Mach in maximum speed, 1100 kilometers in maximum range, 2 engines , TFE-1042-70A turbofan engine , IDF with 9 hangers One for each of the left and right wing ends, one for each of the outer sides of the left and right wings, one for the inner side of the left and right wings, one for each of the left and right engine air intakes, one for each IDF at the midline of the fuselage The fixed armament is a 20mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon. The configuration is similar to that of the F-16. They are located on the left side of the fuselage . Air-to- air missiles and 4 short-range Tianjian -1 air-to-air missiles are mounted on the outer sides of the left and right wings and on the wing ends . 1 Tianjian-1 missile each , 2 Tianjian-2 missiles are mounted on the centerline of the belly, and 1040 liters are mounted on the inside of the left and right wings. One auxiliary fuel tank each This is the most typical air superiority combat weapon of IDF fighters. When it is on the ground mission, one Tianjian -1 missile is mounted on each of the left and right wings. When the MK-82 universal bomb is mounted, two can be mounted on the center line of the fuselage. Other pylons can carry 1 each If the MK-84 heavy general purpose bomb is mounted, 1 MK-20 stone eye cluster bomb can be mounted on the inner side of the left and right wings and the center line of the belly, and a maximum of 10 incendiary bombs can be mounted. 7 rockets There are 3 to 4 pods on the inside of the left and right wings and the center line of the fuselage, each of which can carry a 1,040L auxiliary fuel tank . Although the IDF can be equipped with a lot of weapon systems , because it is mainly used for air defense operations, air-to- air missiles are the most important. Equipped After the IDF fighter successfully completed mass production, Taiwan invested 7 billion in 2001 to develop the F-CK-1 C/D fighter on the basis of the F-CK-1A/B fighter, that is, the "ASL Project" new fighter is equipped with an improved GD53 radar System Advanced color digital avionics system and new 32-bit flight control computer . Two conformal fuel tanks can be attached to the back of the aircraft to expand the combat radius . July 19, 2004 The first single-seat aircraft was completed. The first flight of the aircraft was completed on March 15, 2007. The first flight of the two-seater aircraft was completed and it was named "Eagle" on March 27, 2007. "Eagle" fighter research and development In addition to the digitalization and modernization of on-board electronic equipment More importantly, he has mastered the core software of the aircraft, so he successfully integrated the missiles developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, including the Wanjian missile and the slide-launched Jianer missile . The 71 F-CK-1 fighters under its jurisdiction were upgraded and delivered to the Air Force before the end of 2013. In addition , the performance of 56 F-CK-1 fighters at Qingquangang Base was improved, called "Xiangzhan No. 2" A total of 127 fighter jets Completed performance improvement on December 21, 2017. In 2021, IDF fighter jets first mounted the " Wanjian Bomb" developed by Taiwan's "Chinese Academy of Sciences", which has the ability to attack the ground and the sea. "It is self-developed and can attack the ground and the sea. It is currently the longest-range out-of-sight cluster munition cruise missile equipped by Taiwan's fighter jets. It has some cruise missile functions. According to the introduction of the Taiwan Air Force, the IDF is the only one in Taiwan that can directly hang the At the same time , it is promoted that only one "Wanjian Bullet" can destroy the enemy's convoy or the airport runway IDF fighters launch at high altitudes. After the "Wan Jian Bullet" reaches the target area, it will immediately be divided into hundreds of sub-bombs , especially the airport runway can be immediately paralyzed. Each IDF can mount up to two "Wan Jian Bullets" This video of this issue is here, please continue to pay attention We can watch the latest videos and browse past highlights .
