Qin Fengfei flies the most, is the J-7, even if it is the J-7M, that is, there is an extra flat display on it, but the dashboard in front of the cockpit is still ordinary, full of mechanical instruments.

Qin Feng also saw the cockpit layout of the West in the magazine, for example, the F-16, there is a square-shaped display screen in the cockpit, and I drooled when I saw it, but I didn't expect to see the real display here!

This monitor, arranged in the lower left of the dashboard of the cockpit, is square, and the screen is flat, not curved like the screen of a regular TV set.

Now there is no large-scale promotion of LCD screens,This kind of cathode ray tube is the same as TV,But to make it look like this,It must be very high-tech,This display screen,It must be able to display a lot of information,For example,Some unimportant information,It doesn't have to be displayed on the flat display,You can display it below。

When you need to navigate, the head-up display displays the navigation data, this interface displays radar information, and when you need to fight, the head-up display displays the radar information, this interface displays the status information of the aircraft, and so on.

There is even a saying that in the future, there will be no need to deploy any instruments, in the cockpit, the top is a heads-up display, and the bottom is three such displays, which is enough to display all the content.

Of course, I haven't seen such a cockpit layout yet, but it's already possible to see a single display! When needed, it can display any data, aircraft attitude data, navigation data, radar data, etc., which has a multifaceted role.

Of course, there is not only such a cathode ray tube in this cockpit, but also a small circular screen in the upper right corner of it.

"This cabin is so advanced!" Qin Feng saw that on the other side, Lamour, who had tried together this morning, was standing there, and Qin Feng was very impressed.

"No, no, you don't see the most advanced place at all." Lamour introduced to Qin Feng: "This cockpit, the most advanced place, is its operating stick!" ”

Following the place indicated by Ramour, Qin Feng saw the strangely shaped operating lever.

The first operating stick was a stick, and later, there was a rubber sleeve on it, and then there was a red firing button on it, which was used when hitting the cannon.

And now? This operating lever, the shape is weird, but, if you hold it, you can find that the hand will be quite comfortable, it must be in accordance with the Western concept, with an ergonomic design, at the same time, this operating lever, there are also some buttons.

There are fronts, sides, tops, and bottoms, and it may seem a little scattered, but if you hold it, you can find that every finger can find the right button in a very comfortable position.

"Hands on the pole? HOTAS？ Qin Feng asked Lamore, and the other party nodded: "That's right, after the improvement of this fighter, for the first time, it has this kind of hands-on stick operating system, which is of great benefit to the pilot to perform the mission." ”

In the past, when pilots were flying, they had to control various knobs on the control panel, especially the backward Soviet fighters, to complete a task, they often had to flip a lot of switches, and these switches were often arranged randomly.

With the development of on-board electronic systems, the conditions were gradually created for the use of switches and buttons often used by pilots on the throttle lever and joystick, and the previously cumbersome operation process could be completed by simply pressing the buttons on the joystick and throttle stick.

In this way, the pilot can focus on air combat and do not have to carry out tedious basic operations, which is of great benefit to the performance of the mission.

This is the Hand That Doesn't Leave, or HOTAS for short.

Historically, the first to adopt this design was the F-15 fighter, the first third-generation aircraft of the US Air Force. (Of course, some people say that it is Canada's CF105, but a stillborn fighter that is not in service, it is estimated that it will not be able to compete for this first place.) ）

It is not that some buttons are placed on the operating stick, it is called the hand does not leave the lever, its appearance is inseparable from the progress of electronic technology, the same operating stick, according to different system options, the function is also different, which is through the on-board computer system to integrate the entire avionics, can be realized.

For example, now, the square display screen that appears in this cockpit is an important display to realize the operation of the hand without leaving the lever, which can display some operation information from it, and so on.

In the early stage, each button was just an ordinary button, and in the later stage, these buttons will even evolve into four-way buttons, which can be operated separately from up, down, left and right to achieve different control purposes.

Not only the lever, but also the throttle lever on the left is also a button, which is combined together to achieve real hands-on operation.

(The most formal term for the throttle lever should be called the throttle valve, but this throttle lever, as everyone knows, is closer to life.) ）

This is also a goal of our own new annihilation! Qin Feng secretly thought in his heart that only such an advanced hand-in-the-stick system could allow pilots to fly more relaxed, without having to look down for various buttons, which was indeed a revolutionary progress.

Qin Feng, who was drooling, came down, and Saraf on the side introduced to everyone: "Our cockpit instruments have been adjusted, just to adapt to the hand-in-the-stick system, and we have added a monochrome cathode ray tube display here in addition to the head-up display." For example, here is the cathode tube of Elbit's SMS-82 storage management system at the bottom left of the dashboard, and the cathode tube of Elisra's self-defense radar alarm receiver at the top right. ”

A simple introduction, can also be deduced a lot, domestic fighters with the most rudimentary radar warning receiver, there is a sound prompt on the line, people also need a display screen, that must be a more advanced omnidirectional warning receiver, not only know that there are enemy planes approaching, but also know where the enemy aircraft is!

Everyone took turns to watch, and everyone had envy in their eyes.
