Chapter 607: Catapult Ascension
After a simple flight of jets that afternoon, Otowa did not go to the sky again, but touched the fish on the ground.
I have to say that this fish is really a bit long to touch, and it took three whole days to touch it. By the time Otowa reacted, it was already the day of the game.
Although Otowa has never paid attention to this game, her senior sisters are all nervous to death.
This is the first official Tier VI match of the air combat project, and even the War Games League was shocked and specially promoted for this game, and it is estimated that many people will watch the live broadcast on the Internet at that time.
"One of the participants in this tournament is 'Nameless', and the other is our old friend 'Heavenly Demon', the same team that made a big splash in the last Marine Exhibition Match. ”
Although there is no special venue, the official still made a live broadcast room for this game.
Sitting in front of the camera are two little girls, one is the red-haired commentary from last time, and the other is a blue-haired person that Otoha has never seen.
"In this match, 'Nameless' will be in charge of attacking, while 'Heavenly Demon' will take on the defense and protect the island's facilities from 'Nameless' bombardment. The red-haired girl said with a smile on her face.
"This match is unique in that neither side has an airfield to resupply, and the 'nameless' fighter will depart from Tokyo with a drop tank, while the Heavenly Demon fighter will be launched directly through the launch vehicle. ”
Compared with the red hair, the blue hair beside her is obviously more energetic, and the words are full of passion.
"The Heavenly Demon is 4 MiG-19Ps with 6 F-100Ds, and the 'Nameless' is 10 F-100Ds. The red-haired girl spoke in an envious tone.
The appearance of the MiG-19P and F-100D at the same time means that the American and Soviet systems of this team have reached the full level, isn't this that there is so much money that there is no place to spend it?
"But the Heavenly Demons don't seem to have much experience with jets, and their team is mainly fresh graduates, can they really play this game well?"
"Since they dare to report the Tier VI fighters, then they must be prepared accordingly. The red-haired commentator paused, and then said with a smile: "If there is no evidence, let's see how these two teams perform in actual combat!"
……
In the mid-50s, the United States and the Soviet Union successively put forward the requirement of developing a fighter zero-run take-off launcher (ZELL), that is, the fighter was mounted on a trolley and then launched into space by a powerful booster rocket.
In warfare, airfields are often the enemy's preferred target of attack. With such a device, the aircraft can be deployed in areas where there are no airfields, or in the event of enemy damage to the runway, and still allow fighters to take to the skies.
The concept of ZELL was first proposed by Nazi Germany during World War II and applied to its Ba 349 aircraft.
The Germans modified the Ba 349 with an unguided rocket in its nose and then launched the aircraft through a vertical launch rail. The Germans planned to deploy such installations in large numbers near their strategic locations, from which the Ba 349 quickly took off to intercept enemy aircraft before the Allied B-17 Flying Fortress and B-25 Liberator bombers flew to their targets to drop bombs.
But like some of the other ambitious plans of the Third Reich, Ba 349 eventually died in the experimental phase. With the demise of Nazi Germany, the materials for this plan fell into the hands of the Soviets.
The Soviet High Command took a keen interest in the ZELL concept and in April 1955 ordered the MiG Design Bureau to modify a MiG-19 "Farmer" A for trials of the ZELL concept, the SM-30 program.
Tests of the SM-30 showed that the two most important aspects of ZELL technology were take-off and landing, although the final evaluation report of the Soviet Air Force concluded that the SM-30 system could be used in front-line conditions. However, for a variety of reasons, the development of ZELL technology and technology for shortening the landing distance of high-performance fighters was eventually abandoned.
Otowaba's MiG-19 is now parked on a launch vehicle, waiting for the order to start the game.
It is estimated that in order to show the powerful functionality of the VI-tier fighters, the organizers assigned them such a painful take-off method, which made Otoyu not know how to complain.
"The game is on. ”
"Attention, everyone, it's ready to eject into the air!"
After receiving the referee's message, Jacenia immediately gave the order to take off.
Otowa was the first to take off, only to see her plane raised to 30 by the PU-30's launch trajectory and locked.
Otowa did not hesitate and immediately started the two AM-5B turbojet engines of the MiG-19. At maximum power, she gently turned on the afterburner and set fire to the two PRD-22 booster rockets a few seconds later, while allowing the plane to take off from the launch rail.
The PRD-22 rocket can produce 3,629 kilograms of thrust in 2.5 seconds, and the combined thrust provided by the two rockets is about five times the weight of the aircraft.
"Vozh—"
Feeling the terrifying positive G overload, Otowa couldn't help but scream.
It's no wonder that Maozi and the United States did not vigorously develop this way of taking off, and Otowa felt that his little heart couldn't stand it, okay.
Boosted by the rocket, the MiG-19, where Otowa is located, climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters in less than 70 seconds, a speed that is not too terrifying.
After Otowa took off, the other fighters in the team began to eject.
As the F-100 exists in the same generation as the MiG-19, the United States has naturally developed a rapid take-off system called ZEL (Zero-Length Launch) for it.
Soon, all ten fighters in the wing rose into the air.
"We see that the Heavenly Demon has completed its takeoff, and Nameless has also abandoned the fuel tank and entered the combat airspace, and it seems that the battle will start soon. ”
The two commentators are still very dedicated and have not missed any opportunity to comment.
Otowa and her opponents this time were equipped with ten F-100Ds, and by the way, they also carried five B-57 bombers, making a total of 15 fighters in the fleet.
The speed of the B57 is not slow, and it can fly more than 900km/h, but it is comparable to two supersonic fighters...... It's not enough to see.
These B57s are simply living targets in front of supersonic fighters, so 'Nameless' must find a way to stop the incoming Otowa them.
During the time when 'Nameless' entered the field, Otowa's team also completed the assembly in the air.
"You still remember the specific tactics, right?"
"Oh!" " A uniform reply came back from the radio.
"Then let's do what we planned!" Jacenia smiled and continued, "I'm sure we're going to win this game!"
