The new aircraft looks more similar to an armed helicopter, with three ion thrusters installed on its tail and wings, providing the aircraft with strong power up to Mach 3.

It is also because of such strong thrust that pilots flying new aircraft must wear special anti-load suits similar to space suits to withstand it. Otherwise, the acceleration of instant overload during maneuvering will put the pilot in danger of life.

This three-engine design is very rare on fighter jets. Except for some prototypes with brainstorms or models in science fiction works, this is the first time that a model with three engines has appeared.

Because of its strong power, Chen Xin did not consider the aerodynamic layout too much. However, with systematic optimization, although this aircraft looks a bit square, it still has a good aerodynamic shape and does not really have a strong force to fly bricks.

Moreover, Chen Xin also takes into account the needs of radar stealth, so he looks angular and not so round, but the reflection area of ​​the entire aircraft in front of the radar is not as good as a piece of A4 paper.

The main source of power of the aircraft is a 25MW micro nuclear reactor, which is installed in the belly of the aircraft for easy maintenance and maintenance, and the reactor is directly discarded in the event of an accident.

Because the ion propeller does not require a lot of work fluid, Chen Xin only opened a row of air inlets on the upper edge of the wing.

The flat air intake port can ensure air intake while also playing a certain role in blocking dust and particles. It can also blow away the sand and dust blocked from the air intake grille under the action of the air flow, so as not to block the air intake port due to dust accumulation.

The cockpit is a standard single-person cockpit, and the highly integrated intelligent control system is enough to ensure that the pilot can easily control the aircraft and perform various tasks.

In addition to the installation of a nuclear reactor, the main weapon carrying area is the location of the belly of the aircraft. The four integrated weapon loading points can carry 16 missiles of various types, and can be put into the belly of the aircraft during non-combat times and perform secondary automatic loading.

This is something that no fighter can do at present. All fighters must load missiles before setting off for missions. The ground crew mounts the missiles to the mounting point. No aircraft can load themselves when flying in the sky.

On the one hand, the take-off weight of the aircraft is limited and cannot carry so many missiles. On the other hand, the space of the fuselage is limited. The automatic loading mechanism and missile itself need to occupy a lot of space. There is no way to load so many things when the aircraft space is limited.

However, because this new aircraft uses ion thrusters, it does not need to stuff a huge fuel tank into the fuselage, nor does it need to install an engine with a huge size than an ion thruster. Naturally, it has more load and space for installing other things.

Although this automatic loading system can only complete one loading, it has been greatly enhanced for fighter jets, which is enough to enhance the combat capability of fighter jets more than twice and allow them to play a greater role in air combat.

In addition, Chen Xin also designed another mode for the new aircraft, that is, it does not carry secondary loading missiles and automatic loading mechanisms, but instead replaces them with a rotary mount, carrying eight bombs for ground bombing, and transforms into a model that can perform ground combat.

In addition, Chen Xin also designed a rail gun for the fighter under the nose. With the powerful power provided by the nuclear reactor, the power of this rail gun is far superior to any air cannon currently equipped by the Yan Kingdom Air Force, and the ammunition load capacity is far better than that.

As for another important avionics system on the plane, Chen Xin did not make any new things. He just upgraded the avionics used by the Yan State Air Force itself and adjusted it to a state that can be better integrated into the new plane.

Despite this, the electronic countermeasures of the new aircraft are still very excellent, enough to easily fight fighter jets from any country in the world.

It can be said that this new aircraft is a versatile player with excellent performance. It can be perfectly competent in air combat, ground attack, and even electronic confrontation and air reconnaissance.

After the aircraft is designed, it will naturally be manufactured.

As the chief designer of the new aircraft, Chen Xinna is responsible for the related work in this regard.

The design drawings were passed to the relevant production units, and various parts were quickly produced with detailed drawings and cost-effective investment and sent to Chen Xin.

Although Chen Xin could use nano armor to turn into various processing tools to build the aircraft by himself, considering that the aircraft needs mass production, Chen Xin still handed over the task of manufacturing parts to others.

In this way, when the country needs to mass-produce this aircraft, these production units that manufacture parts also have relevant experience and do not need to spend time on technical research and production line adjustments.

The assembly of the aircraft is a very complicated task. Fortunately, the combat readiness airport where Chen Xin is located has the conditions to assemble the aircraft, and the ground technicians are at least experienced. After working with Chen Xin for a week, they finally assembled the bare metal of the new aircraft.

The assembled bare metal was not even painted, and the metal skin of the entire plane was exposed in the original metal color, which looked very rough.

Moreover, the position of the nose of the aircraft looks like a piece is missing because the avionics and railgun are not installed.

However, the tough lines of the aircraft are different from other aircraft, as well as its unique three-engine shape and slender fuselage, which make the aircraft exude a different aesthetic.

"Academician, the plane has been assembled, but the avionics system and railgun have not been delivered to the factory yet, so we can't do the spray paint here." A technician stood beside Chen Xin and reported to him the assembly of the aircraft in front of him.

Chen Xin nodded clearly about the lack of avionics and cannons, which was exactly what he expected.

"The avionics and cannons are not in a hurry. The manufacturing of these two parts is relatively difficult. It is understandable that the construction period is slower. Install the avionics fairing first." Chen Xin casually ordered while checking the status of the plane: "Where is the painting planned to be completed? Are the pilots who tested the flight ready? Where are the pilots' anti-duty suits?"

"The pilot has been selected and will come to receive relevant operation and driving training tomorrow. The anti-duty service has been asked before. The manufacturer's reply will be completed within three days." The technician heard Chen Xin's question, looked through the records in his hand, and quickly gave the answer: "As for spraying, we have contacted the spraying factory in Jincheng, and they will complete the spraying work."
