Chapter 552: Twin-engine carrier-based aircraft
The old horse was in high spirits.
Look at the world powers, if you want to be strong, they are all navy strong, when Spain first became the most powerful country in the world through global colonization, and later, the British navy rose and became the new empire on which the sun never sets.
Later, it was the United States, and the strength of the United States was also the strength of the Navy, and it was precisely because of the ability to deploy globally that it was able to quickly reach wherever it wanted.
But Han is not.
Han did not have this ability, Han had a long coastline, but there was no way to have a navy that matched this coastline, for a long time, although there were brigade-class destroyers, but there was no air defense capability, resulting in the navy can only dispatch torpedo boats, missile boats and other ships to fight in the near sea.
If you want to have a strong national defense, you must have a strong navy, in the navy, aircraft carriers are indispensable, only aircraft carriers, can provide air supremacy at any time when needed, with air supremacy, there will be sea supremacy, this is absolutely true, look at the World War II era, no matter how big the battleship, no matter how thick the naval guns, they also lost their role in front of the aircraft.
The country is backward, and there is no qualified carrier-based aircraft, so it can only be used to do things like J-7 and J-8, and now, Mr. Gu has proposed a solution, that is, on the basis of J-13, to improve a special carrier-based aircraft.
In fact, although it is called J-13, in fact, it is very different from the previous J-13, so to speak, it is completely prepared for the ship!
"Our Navy is looking forward to it." General Ma said, as soon as he said this, Mr. Gu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, what he wanted was this sentence, after going back, the team of J-13 could continue to work, conduct pre-research in this direction, and prepare to build a new third-generation aircraft!
"I have a question." At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly spoke, and when he heard his words, Mr. Gu glanced at him in surprise, you kid, what else do you have to say?
Chengdu has succeeded, with the new project, we Shenyang is holding our breath, if you kid talk nonsense, it will be demolished for us, you kid, I will see if I will let you enter the house in the future!
Although Mr. Gu had encouraged Qin Feng before, seeking truth from facts and the like, but now, this is a major event of honor and survival here in Chengdu, and Mr. Gu also has to blackface.
"Now, the general view in the West is that if you want to be a carrier-based aircraft, it is better to use a twin-engine, so that if one engine goes off during the flight, the other can be guaranteed to fly back to the aircraft carrier."
Qin Feng is on a case-by-case basis, and he didn't say that J-13 is inappropriate, you can change it to a double hair.
Look at the main carrier-based aircraft in the United States now, F-14, F-18, are twin-engine, the most direct reason for this carrier-based aircraft to adopt a twin-engine configuration is for reliability and safety, after all, the vast majority of the combat environment of carrier-based aircraft is above the sea surface, if it is a single-engine fighter, once there is an engine accident, it can only be a parachute jump, you know, there is no end on the sea, even if there is any dye to dye the surroundings red, it is very difficult to rescue the pilot.
After all, the rescue can only be carried out by helicopters, and the slowness of helicopters is well known, and if it is five hundred nautical miles away from the aircraft carrier, it will have to fly for two hours, and for the pilot, these two hours, the possibility of encountering accidents is quite large.
In this way, if a twin-engine fighter has an accident, it can barely fly back, even if it crashes into the sea next to the aircraft carrier in the end, the helicopter can fly over and pick up the pilot, and this kind of rescue will be much faster.
In addition to this reason, the thrust of the twin-engine fighter is very strong, look at the J-6, the thrust-to-weight ratio has almost reached 1, it is because of the two engines that are stuffed in, in this way, if the thrust is abundant, it is easier to take off, and when landing, once the tail hook of the carrier-based aircraft is not hooked to the blocking cable and the carrier-based aircraft needs to return to the emergency situation, the stronger thrust of the twin-engine carrier-based aircraft can make the carrier-based aircraft successfully return to flight without accidents.
Based on this consideration, the twin-engine carrier-based aircraft is the mainstream development trend, look at later generations, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's financial difficulties, army construction continued to lag behind, resulting in flight accidents, as a result, the Minister of Defense was ruthless, ordered all single-engine aircraft to be decommissioned, it is for reliability reasons.
As for the later on, the US Navy chose the F-35, a single-engine carrier-based aircraft, and there was no other choice, because it was common to all three services, and it was necessary to take off and land vertically, and there was only one option.
Look at India again, the operation of the single-engine Sea Harrier carrier-based aircraft, because of the technical difficulty, has almost fallen.
The carrier-based aircraft of the Navy are preferably twin-engined, and Qin Feng only thought of this before he put forward such a point of view.
"yes, it's better to have a double shot." General Ma said that as a navy, he naturally knew this.
It's not that a single engine can't be used, for example, the French super flag is a single engine, and it is still on the ship, but if you want to have the best performance, the double engine is the absolute choice.
General Ma affirmed Qin Feng's opinion, and when he heard this, Mr. Gu's face was embarrassed, you are still making trouble for us!
J-13, using a single engine, that is planned to use a turbojet-15, or a medium push such as F404, you let us get on the twin engine, where is the engine to choose from!
If you plan to develop a fighter, you go to find an engine, or even start developing an engine, it will definitely drag down the entire project, these are already experienced, and they have been engaged in turbofan six for twenty years, but in the end they did not succeed, and now where do they have that energy!
If you don't have the right engine, won't the project still be able to go ahead? This Qin Feng will make trouble!
"I mean, can the design of our J-13 be enlarged a little more and become a double-engine layout." When Qin Feng saw Mr. Gu's appearance, he knew that he must be annoyed, and quickly explained: "Just like the American F-18, we can stuff in two F404-like mid-push units, taking into account reliability and cost, isn't it a better choice?" Moreover, we also lack such fighters in our country, what if the Air Force is also interested? ”
At that time, the F-4 ghost was a fighter developed for the US Navy, but the Air Force took a fancy to it and became the main fighter of the Air Force.
Don't just stare at this project of the Navy, if you enlarge the J-13 into a heavy aircraft, it happens to be a domestic blank, the J-10 that has been launched is a single engine, and the J-13 is a double-engine, which happens to be complete in light and heavy.
