Chapter 553: Continue the investigation
Qin Feng's proposal made everyone's eyes light up, that's right, for the navy, heavy aircraft is a better choice, compared to light fighters, heavy aircraft have a larger body, can carry more fuel and weapons, have two engines, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is very high, if this is the case, it is simply a leapfrog development for the navy.
The Navy needs such weapons.
Now, the Navy's aircraft carriers are not yet visible, and everyone can only drool over the aircraft carriers in front of them that are about to be dismantled, but this will not stop the Navy's imagination, they need advanced carrier-based aircraft, the more advanced the better!
"Yes, Comrade Qin Feng's proposal is very good, our navy needs such an aircraft! If we change to twin engines, our vertical tail can also be designed with a double vertical tail, which can also reduce the height of the aircraft and make it easier to stuff it into the hangar. ”
A general of the Navy supplemented Qin Feng's plan, after adopting the double hair, you can go on the double vertical tail, in the case of the same control moment, it must be that the area of the double vertical tail is smaller and more suitable.
The general's words ignited everyone's excitement again, and everyone discussed it lively, and Mr. Gu's face became more and more solemn.
Shenyang doesn't have too much technical pre-research, originally planned to engage in a low-grade version of the F-16, now, with everyone's discussion, gradually become a version of the F-18, this upgrade is not easy, just say this vertical tail, Shenyang in the development of the J-8, on the vertical tail suffered enough, and now, but also on the double vertical tail, the difficulty is even greater, not to mention anything else, just look at the current domestic fighters, who uses the double vertical tail? There is no such thing at all, the control experience of this thing, everyone is not clear, if you want to use digital telex, it is even more difficult to say.
However, this scheme can reduce the height of the whole aircraft and facilitate deployment in the hangar, which is an absolutely correct truth, so it is normal for the navy to be tempted.
"Old Gu, what do you think?" Someone asked Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu could only nod: "Okay, the suggestions of our naval comrades are very good, after we go back, we will seriously make a plan, and strive to get a suitable carrier-based aircraft for our navy, which is also of great significance to our Shenyang." ”
Mr. Gu had to agree, they had no other choice, after losing the bid for the Air Force's new generation of fighters, they had no choice, if the Navy's project failed again, what else could they do? Do you continue to tinker with the J-8? They're going to be completely unwilling.
Promise to come down first, and then study it when you go back!
Everyone discussed passionately until late at night, and when the next day, just after dawn, they came to this aircraft carrier again, and they had to study the aircraft carrier carefully, but because it was bought by dismantling the ship, they could not delay it for too long, and every day was precious.
For the Navy, this aircraft carrier is too precious, for the people of the warship design institute, this is also a precious opportunity, in the past, everyone did not have the opportunity to go on the aircraft carrier, and they did not know what kind of structure this aircraft carrier would be, now, they can finally see the real aircraft carrier, they have too much to study, every cabin, even every pipe, they can't wait to study it thoroughly, they value it very much.
For the experts engaged in aviation, the main thing to look at is the part related to the take-off and landing, maintenance, and inventory of the aircraft.
The carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier is divided into two parts of inventory, one part is placed in the hangar below, and one part is placed on the deck.
Therefore, the hangar is also very important, the supercarrier of the Americans, carrying seventy or eighty aircraft, these fighters cannot all be put into the hangar, basically half of them are in the hangar, half are on the deck, and from the lower hangar to the upper deck, there needs to be a lift.
Looking at the elevator located in the middle of the hangar, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The previous design was really too simple and inconvenient. ”
"What do you find inconvenient?" At this moment, a voice came from behind, Pan Lao was also inspecting the hangar here in detail, and after listening to Qin Feng's emotion, he immediately asked.
"Look at the American aircraft carriers, they have begun to use all side lifts, so that when the elevator is operated to lift the fighter from the hangar, it will not affect the take-off and landing operations on the deck of the aircraft carrier.
This kind of lift, which is internal, is equivalent to opening a big hole in the middle of the deck, and when it falls, there is a big hole in the deck, which is just in the middle, and take-off and landing cannot be carried out.
It's too backward.
"Yes, this aircraft carrier was built during World War II, when the mainstream was this kind of lift, and at the same time, this can also avoid the effects of bad weather in the Atlantic, you should know that during World War II, the British aircraft carrier was the first to use a fully enclosed bow, which was determined by different needs." Pan Lao said.
As a layman, it's okay to criticize casually, but as an insider, you can know some of these problems.
At that time, the aircraft carriers of other countries, the hangar and the upper deck were not fully enclosed, and from the side you could see those pillars supporting the deck, and the lower hangar was not fully enclosed, and at the critical time, the aircraft was even able to take off directly from the hangar, which was the case with Japanese aircraft carriers at that time.
But Britain can't, because the climate in the Atlantic Ocean is too harsh, if the bow is open, the sea water can even be poured directly into the hangar, so they used this kind of closed bow, and the elevator is in the middle, which can also avoid the risk of side water, so at that time, it was a trend.
Moreover, as a small aircraft carrier, it does not have much room on the side to accommodate elevators.
Qin Feng didn't know much about the other equipment on the aircraft carrier, what engines, anti-aircraft weapons, etc., but when it came to the systems that supported the aircraft on the aircraft carrier, Qin Feng was still very familiar with it, and he discussed it with Pan Lao all of a sudden.
"Yes, only when the aircraft carrier is expanded, can we engage in side lifts, and only with side lifts can we make the deck scheduling of aircraft carriers more smooth, which is the most correct solution for aircraft carriers, so the current trend of the so-called small aircraft carriers is purely a misunderstanding."
