China National Intellectual Property Administration, China has published an aviation patent owned by AVIC Chengdu Research Institute, which is called "A Twin-engine Tandem Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft", which has aroused widespread concern among netizens. The patent scheme is different from the existing VTOL aircraft in shape and design, and adopts two engines in series, which has vertical takeoff and landing and cruise power.
The appearance of this patent has sparked a discussion on whether China will develop vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. Although the J -20C in the movie may be fictional, the appearance of the patent makes people doubt whether China's vertical takeoff and landing aircraft will be realized soon.
Experts hold different views on the feasibility of this patent scheme. Some people think that China's aviation technical strength has the conditions to realize the scheme, while others think that whether the demand is urgent or not is the key factor. American F-35B fighter realized the concept of "quasi-carrier" by combining with amphibious assault ship. Some netizens believe that China can learn from this experience and improve its national air defense capability and emergency response capability. However, some people think that the PLA's demand is not urgent, and it should be based on existing equipment to enhance its combat effectiveness.
No matter what point of view, China's aviation technical strength has entered the "freedom kingdom", and it can develop all kinds of excellent fighters according to the demand. AVIC's aviation patent provides a technical basis for China to develop vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, but its realization still depends on the needs of the army.
In science fiction movies, the vertical take-off and landing ability of the J -20C left a deep impression on the audience, and many netizens wondered whether the director Frant Gwo had a terrible inside story. Whether it is realistic or not, this kind of imagination has aroused people's concern and expectation for China Aviation Technology.
Finally, we agree with Yang Wei, chief engineer of J-20, that China's aviation technology has embarked on the road of independent innovation, and whether China needs vertical takeoff and landing aircraft depends on actual demand. Whether vertical takeoff and landing aircraft becomes a reality, let's wait and see.
