Chapter 16 The Pilot's Eyesight
The scenery on both sides was passing backwards quickly, Qin Feng was in the bumpy, he glanced at the dashboard with the corner of his eye, and when he saw that the airspeed gauge on it pointed to 200, he brought the operating lever back.
Sure enough, the nose of the aircraft was steadily lifted up with his pull, and at this time, the main landing gear behind continued to slide along the runway, and the landing gear in front was suspended in the air, continuing to taxi for dozens of meters, and suddenly the whole fuselage was light, and the plane had left the runway!
A simple take-off and landing action can see the technical level of the pilot, Qin Feng, as an outstanding pilot of the Han Kingdom, must not be ashamed in terms of technology, he pushed the helmet on his forehead, and looked out through the narrow observation port in front.
For Qin Feng, the biggest inconvenience is this damn helmet, he knew that it was so uncomfortable, so he didn't wear a flying helmet.
"024, note, as I climb to 10,000 meters, the course is 0-3-0." Mustafa's voice continued to be heard in the headphones.
"003 received. The altitude is 10,000, and the course is 0-3-0." Qin Feng replied, and at the same time, the lever pressed the rudder, and the fighter roared, following the long plane.
At this time, Qin Feng discovered another thing.
It is said that the MiG-23 was developed later than the MiG-21, and the engine used is more advanced than the MiG-21, or a variable sweep wing, and its climb should be more rapid, but now, the climb of the two aircraft seems to be better than the MiG-21.
Why is that?
There were more and more questions in Qin Feng's heart.
In the world, the trend of military aircraft research and development is the variable swept wing, but now it seems that the power of the variable swept wing has not been brought into play!
At this time, the blue sea is already below, and flying north from the base, it is the sea.
Since there were no landmarks as a reference, Qin Feng had to follow his long plane closely, if he lost it and got lost, it would be even more embarrassing when he went down.
Just after leveling the plane, Qin Feng wanted to do a few simple maneuvers, but at this moment, a call suddenly came from the earphones.
"003 attention, 003 attention, No. 17 airspace, unknown target found, No. 17 airspace found unknown target, please go immediately, please go immediately." The sound inside the headphones is from the ground tower.
Hearing this voice, Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, what's going on?
Before he had time to think about it, Mustafa had already replied: "003 received, immediately go to airspace 17." 024, keep up! ”
"024 Roger." Qin Feng watched the tail flame of the MiG-23 in front of him burst out of the blazing tail flame, and he also turned on the afterburner again.
The nose gently split the milky white shock cloud, forming a conical umbrella, and the MiG-21 easily exceeded the speed of sound.
The two planes formed a formation and headed towards the airspace of No. 17.
Qin Feng's eyes, looking at the vast blue sea and blue sky in front of him, in the distance is the sea and sky, all of which are the same color, in such an airspace, finding the target with the naked eye, it is definitely a test of eyesight.
"Call 024, in the direction of eleven o'clock, find a target, about eight thousand at a height and about fifty at a distance." Qin Feng shouted over the radio.
At this time, Mustafa was in his own fighter, operating the high-altitude lark radar, preparing to scan the airspace ahead, but he heard Qin Feng's voice.
How can it be? He actually found a target fifty kilometers away?
At this moment, a bright line appeared on his radar screen, and when the bright line rotated around, a bright spot appeared.
Distance 48, height eight thousand!
Sure enough, the target is there!
"Call 003 at 024 and get closer." Mustafa shouted over the radio, and then, pushing the lever.
They are now at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the unknown target is at 8,000 meters, so they need to descend to an altitude.
Mustafa was extremely impressed in his heart, until now, he himself has not seen that target visually, how did this Chinese pilot do it?
Now it is equivalent to flying head-on, the distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching, and just when the distance is thirty, Mustafa finally saw the target with the naked eye under the instructions of the radar.
Before he could speak, Qin Feng's voice came from the headset again: "024 calls 003, it is regarded as an F-4 fighter, which may be a reconnaissance aircraft model." ”
Mustafa was shocked in his heart, he had just seen the target, and in his eyes, it was just a bright spot, who knows, people will be able to identify the model?
In the air, it is a basic skill to identify the model of the aircraft according to its shape.
Why? This starts with the principle of attack of the aircraft.
For the Chinese Air Force, for a long time, the only weapon of air combat was a cannon, and it was not so easy to shoot a cannon in the sky, and the pilot had to use a complex sighting system to operate little by little, and one of the most important steps was to determine the distance of the enemy aircraft with optical sighting equipment.
How long the wingspan of the enemy aircraft is is an important data, which should be memorized in the mind, so you must first identify the model of the enemy aircraft, and then extract the wingspan of the enemy from memory, and mentally calculate the distance according to the knowledge of optics and geometry.
Without advanced radar and other equipment, and without air-to-air missiles, we can only practice our skills hard and carry forward the tactics of fighting bayonets in the air!
For Qin Feng, the appearance of the F-4 fighter is too unusual, as long as you look at its wings and flat tail, you can clearly recognize it, especially now that it is condescending and can be seen clearly.
Its tail nozzle is not at the end like an ordinary fighter, but in the lower part of the rear fuselage, which causes trouble to the arrangement of the flat tail, so the designer will move the flat tail down 23 degrees, and has the role of a stabilizing fin, so as to obtain stability while not interfering with the tail nozzle, when flying at a high angle of attack, the tail of the reverse can extend from the turbulence of the main wing to obtain the necessary control, as a result, the flat tail is pulled downward.
At the same time, the folded outer section of the main wing is reversed by 12 degrees, and the sawtooth is set, and the vortex generated by the sawtooth can prevent the wing surface layer from developing in the direction of the wingtip and delay the separation. Looking at it this way, the outer part of the main wing is upturned.
The lower reflection of the flat tail and the upper reflection of the outer wing section created the peculiar shape of the "ghost", which Qin Feng could see clearly at a glance.
In this area, only Israel is equipped with Phantom fighters, and the lone one, nine times out of ten, is not a fighter, but a modified RF-4, which belongs to a photographic reconnaissance aircraft, and the weapon systems and radar on the F-4 Phantom have been replaced by photographic reconnaissance equipment.
The most striking feature of the RF-4 is its longer and sharper nose, which houses cameras, topographic mapping radar, infrared imagery, and other equipment.
After several wars in the Middle East, Egypt knew that it was destined not to defeat Israel, so it chose peace talks, and the road to peace talks was difficult, and in the process, the Israeli Air Force dispatched reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter Egyptian territory, which was perfectly normal.
