Chapter 467: The First Initiative
Qin Feng almost couldn't wait, and when the gangway had just moved up, he immediately followed the gangway and climbed up.
He has climbed the gangways of many fighters, the most interesting is the Tomcat fighter, the gangway of this fighter does not need to be connected at all, as long as a few devices on the side of the fighter are broken off, it becomes a gangway that people can climb up, which is quite interesting.
At the same time, the cabin of the Tomcat fighter is wide, and when you climb up, you have the feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance.
He often climbs the ramp of the J-7, the J-7 is a relatively small aircraft, so the ramp of the J-7 is also very short, when he climbs up, he can feel quite restrained, as if he is sitting in a narrow and cramped kitchen, and he can touch anything with any stretch of his hand.
He had never been on a MiG-29 before.
Now, he climbed up the gangway, and when he was parallel to the gangway, he had already seen everything in the cockpit, and suddenly there was a sense of familiarity.
The equipment inside is almost no different from that of the MiG-21 fighter, specifically, the MiG-21MF, the one with a small radar display, which is almost the same, and he believes that even without any training, he can complete the instrument refitting flight.
This is a feature of the Soviet Union, their cockpit, in the same vein, such benefits are many, for pilots, only with the corner of the eye to scan, you must be able to scan all the instruments, at the same time, but also to be able to know which instrument is correct, which instrument has a problem, this completely depends on the cockpit instrument familiarity, they must be able to scan all the instrument data.
The cockpit now is exactly the same as before.
However, compared to the previous cockpit, there are still some more things, for example, above the instruments in the cockpit, there is a head-up display.
Flat display is already familiar to Qin Feng, after all, when improving the J-7 fighter, they introduced the flat display from the Marconi company, and the main data can be read from the flat display, however, for a long time, the Soviet fighter did not have a flat display.
MiG-21, MiG-23 must not have, MiG-25 and MiG-27 do not, the current MiG-29, is the first Soviet fighter to use the head-up display, this is also a progress in Soviet aviation technology, this kind of refraction of the head-up display, you can see the combination of those lenses that emit light from the green below.
Wait, the outside of this cockpit is also a little different, specifically, in front of the cockpit, in front of the windshield, there is a semi-dome like something!
"What is this device for?" Qin Feng pointed there and asked, in fact, in some magazines, Qin Feng has already seen speculations about this kind of device, but since he came, of course, he had to pretend not to know, and listen to what people introduced.
It's called shameless questioning.
There is no problem with this idiom, now Qin Feng is above, Marokov and the others are below, and it is definitely asked downward.
"This is our unique optoelectronic sighting system." "With this system, we can approach the enemy from the rear of the enemy without noticing, and we can lock on the target without turning on the radar," Marokov said. ”
In a complex electromagnetic interference environment, radar is not necessarily easy to use, when the radar screen is full of snowflakes, what to use to lock on to the target?
This kind of optoelectronic sighting device, it can come in handy, in later generations, speaking of this system, it can be reminiscent of the MiG-29 and Su-27, in fact, the Tomcat fighter has long existed on the existence of this system, is equipped on the belly, but the Tomcat fighter's AWG-9 radar and the combination of the immortal bird is too powerful, people ignore the existence of this system, and its location is not noticeable.
But the current MiG-29 cannot but be noticed.
In fact, just a few years ago, for most domestic pilots, it was inconceivable to use radar to attack.
If you don't use sights to track and wrap up, you can actually fire? This is absolutely not possible, everyone has never thought that all the preparations can be completed with radar alone, it is simply incredible.
Now, everyone already knows that radar can really do this, and technology is constantly developing, in addition to radar, other means have also begun to have, such as the current OEPS29 optoelectronic system. (It is also said to be called KOLS-29.) )
The device is mounted just in front of the windshield and is biased to the pilot's right.
It has infrared and visible light detection equipment inside, in fact, the range is not far, and it is still very poor compared to the Tomcat, it has a search distance of 15 kilometers for the tail pursuit of typical fighter targets, and a tracking distance of 12 kilometers. The positive and negative directions of the search range are not small, and can reach 30 degrees on the left and right, and 30 degrees on the pitch.
At the same time, it also has a laser rangefinder, after all, if you want to attack the enemy, distance is also a very important factor, in the previous cannon era, there was already a laser rangefinder to measure the range.
Marokov was proud, but he did not give detailed data on the system, and then he talked about the new technology of the MiG-29.
"In addition to radar, optoelectronic systems, there is another means of locking our targets, which is helmet sights."
Because it was only a static display, everyone did not see the flight helmet, which gave Marokov more room to play: "Our helmet sight can move synchronously with the pilot's head, specifically, where the pilot's eyes see, our missile's seeker can track where it is, and it can launch an attack at any time, and in the future, our close-range combat, the pilot can launch missiles as long as he raises his head." ”
Helmet sights, indeed, were their innovations, and for the first time the Soviets thought of adding something to the pilot's head, but due to the gap in Soviet electronics, the actual effectiveness of such a device could not be brought into play at all.
The helmet sight is mounted on the helmet, the key is the head position surveyor, which is used to measure the angle at which the pilot's head turns, so that the angular position of the target relative to the carrier aircraft can be obtained, and it also needs the computer to convert the target position information into an aiming command to control the missile's seeker to aim at the target.
It can be said that this is an innovation, it is easy to use, quick aiming, easy to search visually, and has a large tracking range, but the Soviet Union's electronic system is weak, the integration capacity is insufficient, and compared with the kind of direct helmet display and the like of later generations, it is simply too simple and primitive.
After the introduction of domestic in later generations, most pilots did not bring this kind of thing at all in flight training, and only kept a pylon.
