Back in 1978, I was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Chapter 34: Let's give our Western friends some pointers on aircraft design!
Smith and Stephen were very uncomfortable. After all, how could they have a deeper conversation in front of so many students?
Professor Liu was also uncomfortable, after all, he really didn't understand this field, and Qin Liang had specifically chosen this place.

Of course he knew that Qin Liang was not trying to embarrass him on purpose. Holding a discussion with Westerners in front of so many students was probably to showcase the research strength of Northwestern Polytechnical University, especially that Secretary Shen. He had to make him open his eyes and see the strength of Northwestern Polytechnical University!
Thinking of this, Professor Liu looked down and saw Secretary Shen's expression in the third row of people. It was as interesting as it could be!

In the national aerospace field, Northwestern Polytechnical University was the first to publish a paper in an SCI journal, and the other party attached great importance to it and wanted to hold a discussion!

With this in mind, Professor Liu relaxed. All he had to do was say a few words to Qin Liang, and Qin Liang could translate them to the other side!
When Smith and Stephen entered the mainland from Hong Kong, they actually hired a translator from Hong Kong. However, this translator could only take care of their journey and daily communication. For academic exchanges, they would have to rely on Qin Liang!

“Okay, Mr. Qin, we are very interested in your paper. How did you calculate that the diamond shape has the best stealth properties?” Smith asked.

It's worth noting that the formulas included in Ufimov's paper weren't difficult, but using those formulas to calculate the shape of an aircraft would require an advanced computer system!
Do East Asians have this?
He suddenly realized that the Easterners' demand for one hundred 8086 processors and their matching chips as a condition for the meeting meant they wanted to use these processors to build a large computer.

At Xiguan Airport, I had just met the Asian man when he enthusiastically helped me with my luggage. When I learned that one of the suitcases contained an 8086 processor and its accompanying chip, his undisguised excitement made me curious, as if he had found a treasure.

He has never seen that box again.

That was too hasty!

"Actually, the diamond shape isn't the best." After exchanging ideas with Professor Liu, Qin Liang began to answer: "We were only forced to break down the aircraft into several planes due to limitations in computing power. If computing power becomes stronger in the future, we can design the aircraft's shape more precisely and integrate it with aerodynamics to obtain a stealth fighter capable of true air combat!"

Smith and Stephen exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

The identity of AEROSPACE magazine was just a disguise. In reality, one of the two men came from the U.S. Air Force's equipment standards department, and the other came from Lockheed's Skunk Works.

In the late 1970s, intelligence indicated that the testing of the Soviet-developed MiG-29 and Su-27 was progressing steadily. In order to gain a generational advantage, the U.S. Air Force had to start developing a new generation of fighter jets to replace its existing F-15 fighter jets.

To date, none of the specific standards for this Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) have been released.

Some believe that stealth should be used as a key to victory, but given the current level of US military technology, the best they can do is build an aircraft like the F-117. Although it has an "F" in its name, it has no air combat capability whatsoever and is purely a ground attack aircraft!
When they saw the paper from Northwestern Polytechnical University in the East, they were completely shocked. The content of the paper and the drawn fighter jet shape were very similar to the Haiflan fighter jet they were developing! The East was also developing similar technology and had even achieved such results!

They need to come and see!

Qin Liang had no idea that his paper had so impressed the Americans. Now that they were here, he was determined to continue his charade. Stealth aircraft, he was an expert!
"What? You even have this kind of design?" Stephen was immediately stunned.

Smith swallowed hard. "Do you have a preliminary plan? Can you tell us about it?" "Well..." Qin Liang and Professor Liu discussed for a few moments, then looked down.

"Secretary Shen, these two friends from the West want us to give them some pointers on their aircraft design. What do you think? Could we share the technology we're currently researching with them?"

Secretary Shen replied instinctively, "Of course!"

Okay, that's enough for me!
This short sentence reveals a lot.

Didn't you doubt our R&D capabilities? Now, the Americans are humbly seeking our advice! And what we're about to say is classified information—something you gave us permission to share with the West. If this gets investigated later, you'll be held responsible!

Do you know why I brought so many students here? They're all witnesses, so you won't deny it later!

At this moment, the students below were all suspicious. Secretary Shen? There isn't a single teacher with the surname Shen in our school, is there? Where did this person come from?

Old Lin gave Qin Liang a complicated look. You're quite something, kid!
However... it seems that no one thinks the research results from Northwestern Polytechnical University should be kept secret.

Qin Liang then pretended to say a few more words to Professor Liu before standing up.

"The specific design scheme still requires a lot of calculations by advanced computer systems, as well as testing in a specialized electromagnetic laboratory. At present, we can only introduce a general scheme that integrates aerodynamic results."

Qin Liang walked to the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and started drawing on it.

"Starting with the nose, in order to create the minimum radar cross-section, the nose needs to be diamond-shaped. Behind the nose, on both sides below, are parallelogram-shaped air intakes that are close to the fuselage... Behind that is a butterfly wing, twin vertical tails, and outward-sloping tails..."

Although Qin Liang's drawing skills are not high and he doesn't use many lines, he still managed to capture the characteristics of the F-22's fuselage!

Now, Old Lin opened his eyes wide.

At first, they didn't know what Northwestern Polytechnical University's "stealth aircraft" meant. Now, Professor Lin figured it out: this kind of aircraft can hide its whereabouts from radar! This technology is unmatched anywhere in the world! And the fact that the Americans came under the guise of a discussion to extract intelligence shows that Northwestern Polytechnical University has truly reached a world-leading level in this field!
Thinking of this, Old Lin glanced at Old Wang and Old Hu beside him. "Do you still hold the same views as before? Northwestern Polytechnical University does have some skills. If we entrust the research and development task to them, they might actually be able to come up with something!"
The airplane model I saw this morning had a very advanced design. If we could develop it, the Air Force's imminent equipment crisis could be resolved!
