Chapter 794: A New Challenge
The first target test was completed for the on-board built-in electro-optical navigation and targeting system developed for the J-18, and all the data showed that the whole system designed was suitable and reliable, and there were some detailed tests and optimizations in the follow-up, and it was necessary to find the character of the whole system and understand it.

After all, large military equipment is not much easy to use, just search and adjust the map, infrared image is a headache, this year there is no mouse to do any graphic operation for you, this thing is absolutely not easy to use on the fighter plane, and after 2010, the touch control panel used on the new design fighter plane, at this time it is even more fantastical to talk about the same design.
As for the inherent defects of the laser targeting system, such as after the laser positioning center locks the target, in fact, it is not always able to maintain accurate locking, with the passage of time and the continuous displacement of the aircraft in the air, the positioning deviation after the lock will continue to expand, so it is necessary to drop the bomb as soon as possible after locking the target, only in this way will it be as accurate as possible.
The above problems need to be continuously figured out in the follow-up tests, and these are not the unique problems of the photoelectric navigation and targeting system developed by Yang Yue here, almost all navigation and targeting systems in this era have this kind of problem, including Yankee and French products.
However, a few days after the test was completed, although the follow-up data collation work was being carried out, Yang Yue over there put the focus of his work on the design of the electro-optical navigation and aiming pod.
In order to integrate all kinds of related equipment into the two pods, it is also necessary to take into account the aerodynamic resistance, the data and power interface between the aircraft and the aircraft, and the cooling design of the electronic components in the pod.
But this design must be made, and the export of lightning fighters in the future will first need to use this set of equipment, and as long as the data interface can be compatible, even if the aiming pod is not needed, but the air superiority aircraft such as No. 10 can greatly increase the safety of the flight when performing night flight missions, such as escorting the J-18.
If the whole system is installed on the active H-6 bomber, then the H-6 can actually hit laser-guided bombs, and this kind of thing seems to have been done by the Yankees, and people directly hung the pod on the B-52 old bomber, although under normal circumstances this is not necessary, because most of the modern large bombers are equipped with a perfect ground bombing system, even if they throw free-fall bombs, they can also achieve quite high accuracy, but no matter what, This also proves at least that it is necessary to develop a pod-type electro-optical navigation and targeting system.
........
However, at this time, Yang Hui was able to have a rare period of leisure, not only participated in the first flight of the lightning carrier-based aircraft, but even the first land blocking landing test was also tested in mid-June, during which he also received relevant inspectors from Brazil, Thailand, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and even the aircraft carrier designers of the Bazin shipyard came, and all parties expressed satisfaction with the current research and development progress of the lightning carrier-based aircraft project.
Although many parties have not yet expressed their intention to place an order for procurement, this is not what Yang Hui is worried about, anyway, even if they place an order to purchase, it will be produced on the production line of Embraer, and AVIC Southwest will provide about 20% of the key subsystems for production, but these do not need Yang Hui to worry too much.
The only thing that can arouse Yang Hui's attention is probably that the British seem to have been stimulated by the whole country after the sinking of the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, and a new round of fleet-type aircraft carrier construction plans have begun, in order to free up the establishment and funds, it is said that it is intended to sell the Invincible-class aircraft carrier No. 2 Excellence, which has just been in service for ten years, and the ultra-low price of 50 million US dollars has also attracted the attention of the Thai side.
Fortunately, Defense Minister Wenjin stepped forward at a critical moment and criticized the clumsy performance of the Ark Royal aircraft carrier in the Gulf War, and soon calmed down this small turmoil, and the follow-up is said to be that the British have sold it to the third brother who has a unique hobby for second-hand aircraft carriers, but it is said that the third brother seems to be not interested in the British anti-submarine aircraft carrier, as if the third brother has also made some big moves, and is discussing something with Maozi, but the outside world is not clear about these situations.
Yang Hui on the side sighed with all kinds of emotion, the sinking of the aircraft carrier Ark Royal in the Gulf War did bring a burst of reflection to the world's naval circles, and the impact was different from the previous one, the previous one was a light glide aircraft carrier with a short take-off, and the amphibious assault ship was favored by all kinds, but now because of the change of history, the fleet attack aircraft carrier has ushered in a development boom.
Even after sending off the staff of the relevant lightning carrier-based aircraft countries, through various sources, Yang Hui was keenly aware that this time France seemed to be mixed with Britain, and even Britain brought Australia from the British Commonwealth, which seemed to be preparing to jointly develop large and medium-sized aircraft carriers.
For this kind of news, Yang Hui only has a cautious optimism, after all, at this time, the French have already built a Charles de Gaulle-class aircraft carrier, and in the 90s, the Charles de Gaulle-class also had a second ship plan, so this matter is not reliable, at least Britain will definitely not use France's half-hung nuclear power system, but use Britain's own PWR-2 pressurized water reactor used on avant-garde-class nuclear submarines, I am afraid there will be no difference from the K-15 reactor used by Charles de Gaulle.
Generally speaking, according to the news brought by Yang Hui in the previous interview, the British are still very likely to use gas turbines on aircraft carriers, after all, gas turbines have obvious advantages compared with steam turbines with nuclear power.
The Brits in the nineties did not have the best MT-30 gas turbines, but if four WR-21 gas turbines were installed, it would be possible to push the early steam catapult scheme of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier to a high speed of about 30 knots.
As for the problem of gas turbine-powered aircraft carriers to produce steam, these are too simple, and it is okay to add exhaust gas boilers to gas turbines or use the spare engines on warships to boil water directly, so now this plane is chaotic in many aspects, and Yang Hui can only take one step at a time.
In the end, after the British Niu Niu learned a lesson this time, will it come up with some different new ideas, no one knows this, at least in the development of naval ships, the British Niu Niu has always been quite creative, and the Yankees can only look at the dust in this regard.
After ignoring the news about aircraft carriers in these countries for the time being, Yang Hui also cheered up and prepared to welcome the next wave of important guests.
It is said that it is because of Iraq's 10 J-74 fighters during the Gulf War two years ago, and the national level directly rejected Iran's purchase intention at that time, but this time it is said that it is because of the US sale of F-16s to Taiwan, and it seems that the Republic of China also intends to talk to Iran.
However, this matter is shared with AVIC Southwest here, Yang Hui said that it is quite embarrassing, this Iranian order is really good, but now the relationship between AVIC Southwest and Saudi Arabia is obviously better...... (To be continued.) )
