Chapter 487: The Sky of the Future
"Our current air combat is mainly fought with cannons, although we have our own Thunderbolt-2 missiles, but as you know, the performance of this missile is quite poor, and at most it is used against bombers. However, we must also realize that technology is constantly developing, and in future air battles, missiles will be used to determine the outcome of the war. ”
When Qin Feng finished saying this, he could see that among the crowd below, there were some people with puzzled faces.
"I know, many of us will have doubts, because according to the experience of the Vietnam War, in air combat, missiles are still a supporting role, the small MiG-21 can rely on the advantage of flexibility and maneuverability to sneak attack the bulky ghosts, and the Sparrow missiles equipped with ghost fighters are also poor, which makes American pilots very annoyed, our department, also from the Vietnam War, feels that the future sky still belongs to the machine gun, if this is the case, then it is a big mistake!"
Qin Feng knows what these people think, he must correct this point of view, this is very important, technology is developing, missile technology is becoming more and more mature!
"Let's talk about the Sparrow missile first, this missile is constantly improving, up to now, their latest AIM-7M missile, using the latest reverse single pulse seeker, the performance has been quite high, the hit rate is also very high, this missile is the trump card of the United States, it is not exported at all, only for its own use, if during the Vietnam War, the United States has such a missile, it will definitely not give everyone the impression that the missile is useless."
"Britain, France, are all working on a new generation of missiles, as for the Soviet Union, it has not stopped, their fighters, equipped with more advanced, in addition to radar, there are optical equipment and helmet aiming equipment, now I will introduce it to you." Qin Feng said: "The helmet sights of the Soviets are linked to the missile, where the eyes are aimed, the missile will track to where, as long as you turn your head, you can lock and attack, and the off-axis launch angle is very large, it can be said that if we engage this kind of fighter, there is almost no possibility of winning." ”
With Qin Feng's introduction, the expressions of the people present became solemn, of course they knew that if what Qin Feng said was true, it would be terrible, which meant that their own side had fallen behind in an all-round way, and in the future, if they wanted to fight bayonets in the air, they would not give them a chance at all!
Qin Feng depicted the future air combat situation for them, at a long distance, they will use radar to search, lock onto targets, attack, and when they are hit, they don't even know where the enemy is, and when they are at close range, it is even more dangerous, the other party has a highly mobile carrier aircraft and a large off-axis launched combat missile, this advantage will make the backward aircraft have no ability to resist and have been shot down!
If there are no advanced fighters, they will be beaten when they take off!
This is still because Qin Feng did not add the factor of electronic warfare, if there is the support of early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft, it will be even more cruel.
"I know that everyone is not afraid of death, since we have chosen to be soldiers, we are always ready to sacrifice our lives, but the most painful situation is that even if we have this courage, there is no such opportunity at all, so we must study future wars, so that we can adapt to future battlefields."
There was a round of applause below, Qin Feng looked over, and immediately saw a familiar figure, Tang Gang?
The test flight of Jianjiao-7 has been successfully completed, Tang Gang, a young pilot, has also grown up rapidly, and now, he has had the opportunity to come here for training, at this time, he applauded the most cheerfully, he completely agreed with Qin Feng's point of view, yes, the future air battle, this is what it looks like!
"Qin Feng, let's talk about it next." Song Lao said again, originally, I just asked Qin Feng to introduce the future air combat, so that everyone can realize that although the machine gun combat is not outdated, it is no longer the mainstream, and the mainstream in the future must be the air combat of missiles, Qin Feng has completed this task, however, Song Lao has not planned to let Qin Feng go, after all, Qin Feng has gone abroad many times and has seen too much, let Qin Feng explain it to everyone. From the point of view of test pilots, it is definitely more appropriate.
"Okay, I'll go on." Qin Feng said: "For everyone, the biggest challenge is the adaptation of the cockpit interface, our previous aircraft, all are mechanical instruments, everyone present, almost all of them have little adaptability to digital display, so, if we want to be able to fly the third generation aircraft, then we must accept the training on the cockpit, we have to adapt to the modern display, the cockpit, will completely eliminate the mechanical instruments, the cockpit, all are screen displays." ”
Now, the advanced fighters of the West have put forward the concept of glass cockpit, the entire cockpit is composed of the upper head-up display and the lower lower display, and the lower part is a square-shaped screen, showing some information that is not commonly used, and the upper head-up display can be switched to display any information, which is convenient to use, and the mechanical instrument is only a matter of time before it is eliminated.
In fact, look at the meaning of Song Lao, his own No. 10 project is connected by 1553B data bus, and the instrument replacement of the cockpit is also very easy to carry out, if Song Lao wants to pursue advancement, the cockpit will be made into a glass cockpit, and it is no problem at all, at most keep a few commonly used mechanical instruments as a backup, and make two or three downward-looking displays, and also achieve the goal of glass cockpit.
But what, can anyone fly? For everyone, you are used to looking at mechanical instruments, can you get used to looking at the display screen? The most important thing is that by looking at the display, you must be able to react in the brain instantly, and cultivate this ability, which is the most direct.
"For everyone, this is also the most difficult, if this step cannot be overcome, then it will not be possible to enter the field of test flights of third-generation aircraft." Qin Feng said.
This needs a new generation of test pilots to solve, technology is constantly developing, human progress is also continuous, for example, now, Qin Feng's home has been equipped with a computer, these test pilots in the future, will be proficient in the use of computers, will be accustomed to looking at the screen, for them, it is easier to adapt than the older generation of test pilots, and for everyone now, it is necessary to learn to adapt, can adapt, then you can test fly the third generation aircraft, if you do not adapt, then you can only be eliminated.
"Comrade Qin Feng, how did you do it?" Someone asked, Qin Feng must have adapted to Pingxian, Jianqi M, it was mainly him who flew it.
How did I do it? Qin Feng remembered his hard training in the past and said, "Let's start with the most basic training!" ”
