Chapter 362: The cockpit of the F-16

"This data is too strong, isn't it?" Qin Feng was holding a thick flight notebook in his hand, and he had been studying it repeatedly in the past few days.

Compared with the last F-16J79, these data are really different, and they are so perverted that they are unacceptable, for example, its maximum use overload is 9G!

And what about your own plane? The maximum overload of your own aircraft is only 7G, and this 7G is not yet able to be pulled out at any altitude and speed, which has a lot to do with the specific use environment.

In China, the J-7 has developed a huge family, different models, with different performance, the most representative is the J-7E, this modification is mainly the wing.

In the past, the wing of the J-7 was a simple large swept delta wing, and the J-7E was changed to a double delta wing, with a sweep angle of 57 degrees on the inner wing and a sweep angle of 42 degrees on the outer wing.

Coupled with the replacement of the turbojet-13 engine, these overall measures have allowed it to reach the 8G overload, which is still different from the 9G overload of the F-16, a third-generation aircraft.

And now, the J-7 is still a prototype, the shape of the wing has not changed, and it was originally on the road of high altitude and high speed, so if you really engage in confrontation with the F-16, the gap in performance is too big.

In close combat, J-7 has almost no advantage, this maximum overload, will limit everything, if the pilot exceeds this overload, in addition to whether his own body can withstand it, there is also a big problem is whether the body of the aircraft can withstand it.

If you can't bear it, the result will be disintegration.

(There is this scene in the later movie "Flying Leopard", the J-7 tried its best, but it couldn't catch up with the Tomcat, and even disintegrated in the air because it flew too hard.) )

Let's take a look at other specific data, such as the maximum angular speed of turning, J-7 is only 22 degrees per second, while F16's is 26 degrees, what does this mean? It can't be compared with the F16 turn, and if you go around in circles with it, you can only take yourself into the ditch.

"These data are all what our pilots can do in flight, and those American test pilots can fly more fiercely, and it is even said that some test pilots have pulled the F-16 to the limit of 11.5G overload." On Qin Feng's side, Saad said to him.

These days, the two have become good partners, and in the conference room of the base, Qin Feng was also talking with Saad when he was studying.

11.5G! This overload capacity is definitely strong enough, wait, what's wrong?

"Can the pilot handle it?" Qin Feng asked, under this kind of overload, the plane did not disintegrate, what about the pilot? Can the body stand it?

"This is certainly thanks to the cockpit of the F-16." Saad continued: "Its cockpit, unlike the cockpit of our ordinary fighter jets, is inherently suitable for maneuvering with large overloads. ”

In the absence of confrontation, it is not suitable for the pilot of the F-16 to have direct contact with Qin Feng, after all, giving Qin Feng a note is already the greatest help, absolute selflessness.

If these specific data are leaked out, for example, to let the Indians know, it will be very bad for them, but they absolutely trust their Chinese brothers.

Wait until the confrontation between the two sides and then sit down and communicate, at this time, it is inconvenient for even American advisers to say anything, but now it is absolutely not possible.

Qin Feng wondered about the pilot's endurance, after all, even if there is an anti-load suit that can withstand this kind of overload, it is not the standard of test pilots, but the standard of astronauts, specifically, among a hundred pilots, at most one person can meet this condition.

This is where the cockpit comes in a big way.

The F-16 was the first aircraft to be developed according to the theory of energy maneuvering, although later on, it became a bomb truck, and even added conformal fuel tanks, which seemed incompatible with its air combat, but, when it was first developed, it was used for air combat, and even for close-range combat, because it did not even have a mid-range sparrow.

In order to achieve 9G overload, this kind of aircraft has made a lot of innovations, and the cockpit looks quite smooth.

The domestic J-7 is still a three-piece windshield, with countless partitions, and the forward-facing vision is greatly restricted, and the backward-facing vision is even worse.

Look at the F-16 again, it is a monolithic bubble-shaped cockpit, this cockpit is a whole piece of glass, not even the front windshield, reflecting a smooth beauty.

This kind of cockpit allows the pilot to have an omnidirectional field of vision of 360 degrees, which is of great benefit in air combat confrontation. At the same time, it can be seen that the upper half of the pilot's body is exposed, and the pilot is like riding on a fighter plane.

This is completely different from curled up in the cockpit of the J-7, with only the head exposed, at most a shoulder.

However, if the pilot is lifted out directly, the cockpit is too high, which will bring more drag, so the designers adopted an innovative design to put the pilot down!

This has to be carefully observed to see that the pilot of the F-16 fighter, compared to other fighters, seems to be leaning back more, as if lying on the sofa.

This is because the seat is tilted back thirty degrees, so that the pilot's half body is exposed and the field of vision is widened, but the height does not increase, and the height of lying down is definitely lower than that of sitting.

Of course, lying down also brings other benefits, which is said to improve the pilot's anti-overload ability, so that the anti-overload ability of ordinary pilots in a short period of time can reach the standard of 9G, without black-vision and the like.

Of course, in order for him to be able to operate while lying down, the pedals need to be raised, and the middle steering stick of an ordinary aircraft is not suitable.

Therefore, it adopts the "side bar" scheme, that is, the steering bar is mounted on the armrest of the seat. There is nothing between the legs, and like the excavator, it becomes the operating lever on both sides.

Moreover, this operating lever does not have any displacement, and completely relies on force feedback, which is the first time to fly this kind of aircraft, it is necessary to adapt.

These benefits were already clear when the United States was selling the F16J79 plan to China, and now, hearing Saad's explanation to himself, Qin Feng frowned.

"Yes, there are many benefits to this, but unlike our usual sitting position, is the pilot's neck uncomfortable?" Qin Feng asked.

Saad shook his head: "I don't know. "This, only the pilots who often fly the F-16 know it, they are all the elite of the Pakistan Air Force, and Saad does not have this opportunity, so he can only watch the greed.
