Chapter 223: Continuous Takeoff
010 to the elevator report, weapon mount begins. ”
As soon as he ended the call with Dai Democratic League, Hu Xunbai's voice immediately sounded again.
"The flight controller has received it, and the deck fuel supply has been completed."
After finishing speaking, Chen Ming put down the phone. Take one last look at the weather data and look out the window.
On the deck, the little red man in the red vest was pushing a small cart equipped with anti-aircraft missiles to approach the 003 machine, and the little purple man in the purple vest had already connected the oil pipeline to the war eagle at this moment.
Everything was done in an orderly and swift manner.
Chen Ming looked at such a busy scene while silently calculating the time it took from the time his order was issued to the current step. Sure enough, in this atmosphere of urgency, the speed was a lot faster than usual.
"010 is on deck, and folding wings are being placed."
"Flight controller received. Elevator platform No. 1 waits for oil to be delivered. ”
After Chen Ming picked up the corresponding phone to reply to Hu Xunbai, he picked up another phone.
"Semi-fuel replenishment of Lift 1 begins."
"Fuel received."
When the elevator carrying machine 010 stopped, the little purples wearing purple vests and holding the oil pipeline rushed up. Against the wings that were slowly being lowered, the oil pipeline was pressed against the oil transfer hole of the warhawk.
"003 is recharged, ready to launch and drive."
"Follow the guidance and prepare before entering the take-off lane. The take-off and landing commander is in place and completes the pre-takeoff preparation. ”
After Chen Ming replied to Dai DP's communication, he suddenly realized a problem.
Although it is a kind of trust for Captain Zhang to hand over the flight deck scheduling and aviation command work to himself, looking at the current situation, the frequency of fighter takeoffs is not high, and he is still busy. But if you really start from the perspective of actual combat, such a setting is actually unreasonable.
As the number of fighters taking off increases, there will be more communications back and forth. Just the state of each warhawk, the current location, what they need, as long as one of these seemingly chaotic pieces of information is wrong, it will poke out a big basket.
For example, the simplest one, oil supply. The aircraft carrier flight path on the sliding deck could not meet the take-off of all-fuel fighters, and if one of the Warhawks was overfueled due to their own negligence, it exceeded the take-off weight of the Warhawk and the threshold for the taxiway to accelerate to take-off speed.
That's a lot of fun. When the war eagle fell into the sea, not to mention the loss of national troops, not to mention the darkness of his personal future, and only to talk about the safety of the pilots on the plane, he could not be careless.
"010 Fuel Replenishment Complete."
"Roll out the car, follow the dispatch taxi to the middle of the landing runway and wait."
Hu Xunbai's report interrupted Chen Ming's thinking, and he quickly picked up the phone at hand and replied according to the plan.
"Transport, 010 to the middle of the landing lane and wait."
"Dispatch received."
"003, ready for takeoff."
"Raise the deflector and remove the wheel resistance."
As Chen Ming's voice landed, two little green men quickly rushed up on both sides of the take-off path. One lifted the wheels that stood in front of the front wheels of the aircraft, and the other gestured to the non-commissioned officer operating the take-off area to raise the deflector.
"Meteorological briefing, southeast wind level 2. Corrected sea pressure 1012, course 165, upper altitude 3000."
Seeing that the preparations on the take-off lane were completed, the little green man left the take-off area. Only one take-off commander in a yellow vest stood in front of the deflection, next to the fighter. Chen Ming opened his mouth and said.
After this link, Chen Ming found another problem. In fact, it is best to hand over operational commands such as raising the deflector to the take-off commander. At present, the authority of the take-off commander is relatively limited, and in addition to the command rights of the deck staff, it seems that only the final release instructions to the pilots remain.
Compared with the training of other command talents, strengthening the rights of deck commanders is undoubtedly a more rapid and fruitful thing.
Because of the comparison of the overall dispatch, command work. They have already had more than a dozen experiences in taking off and landing, and now they will be able to get started faster if they are more burdened. They are all familiar with these jobs. It's just a matter of taking care of things that you didn't need to take care of yourself now.
Chen Ming secretly kept the problem in his heart, and planned to report to the captain when the training was over in the evening.
As soon as he put down his thoughts, Chen Ming found through the porthole that the Minions had taken the famous "walk you" pose. Immediately realized that the pilot had finished communicating with him and was ready to take off.
A moment later, the afterburner of the plane came up. Two bursts of flame erupted from the tail and slammed out of the deck of the aircraft carrier. As soon as I got out of the sliding deck, there was a slight slump. Then take off into the air.
"Put down the deflector, and Unit 010 is launched. to the take-off runway. ”
Seeing that Dai Minmeng's landline had taken off, Chen Ming immediately picked up the phone.
"Take-off control continues, except for essential staff activities, the rest of the personnel are restricted in their movements and pay attention to safety."
The control of take-off is looser than that of the landing of ships. After all, before takeoff, the speed of the fighter is not fast, and it is also in a controllable state. In addition, the movement on the aircraft carrier is guided by a small blues in front, and the risk of collision is almost unlikely.
However, on the one hand, it is for the sake of safety, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of maintaining the authority of the rules and regulations. Chen Ming still reminded him.
"010 enters the take-off runway. The take-off lane has been aligned and a pre-flight inspection is being done. ”
"The flight controller has received it, can it lift the wheel block?"
Chen Ming asked after hearing Hu Xunbai's report.
"Yes, the aircraft has a stable attitude."
"Take off and land personnel, lift the bias plate, and remove the wheel resistance."
Chen Ming first gave the little green man's work instructions, and then spoke.
"Meteorological briefing, southeast wind level 2. Corrected sea pressure 1014, course 165, upper altitude 3000, and 003 to form a two-plane formation. ”
"010 received."
Similar to the previous process of the 003 plane, Hu Xunbai's 010 aircraft also successfully took off.
When Dai Democratic League's altitude report came, there was also the sound of Hu Xunbai's report to the height of 3,000. Chen Ming raised his arm and looked at his watch.
In this training, the battle alarm sounded at 10 o'clock in the morning. It's 10:15.
From receiving the alarm, to the two-plane formation taking off, entering the combat altitude. It took a total of fifteen minutes, and Chen Ming is now very satisfied with this result.
Fifteen minutes may sound like a long time, a far cry from the Bald Eagle next door that claims to catapult a fighter every 15 seconds. But what it entails is very different.
First of all, these fifteen minutes are not just takeoff. Rather, in the absence of preparation, even when the fighter is not in a state of combat readiness, the replenishment, the dispatch and then the take-off are completed.
The Bald Eagle now has four catapult lanes on the aircraft carrier, and the catapult take-off efficiency is higher than that of the glide jump, but it is never possible to take off in 15 seconds. If you dare to fly like that, the wake of the front aircraft will allow the Bald Eagle to crash half of its fighters every year.
According to Chen Ming's experience, the maximum take-off speed of the Bald Eagle aircraft carrier is one per minute, but this is when prepared in advance. The worst of the fighters is also the state of combat readiness, which is the state of ejection and take-off in turn.
What's more, this is the first time they have made a continuous takeoff. Chen Ming believed that this kind of weight-bearing training would not be long in coming, and the speed at which the planes would take off in a state of combat readiness would definitely be eye-catching.
