Chapter 1726: Sea Eye No. 1 (Plus 1)
Alcatel is immersed in the joy of reunion, since returning from the United States, and Lisa is less and more separated, and recently it has been a long time since I have seen her, Alcatel looked at Lisa carefully, the years have not left any traces on Lisa's beautiful face, Lisa is still a young and beautiful girl.
Alcatel had almost forgotten what he was doing, and at this moment, time seemed to stop, and Lisa was in Alcatel's arms, and the two stared and stared for a long time.
Then, two hot lips come together.
On deck.
"Haiyan 1 requested to take off." At this time, the bow of the ship is almost full of aircraft, and in the event that a battle may break out at any time, it takes time to lift the aircraft from the hangar, and on the deck, it can take off at any time.
At this time, the benefits of the beveled deck are even more apparent.
Taking advantage of the space in the bow of the ship, more than 50 carrier-based aircraft can be on standby at any time, while the runway on the beveled deck is still vacant and can take off fighters at any time.
The sortie efficiency is quite high, if you need to take off quickly, as long as you keep flying on the beveled deck, you can quickly free up the bow and take off together.
Now, on the beveled deck, one of the aircraft on standby is a special aircraft.
This aircraft looks very similar to the German Navy's special HS129 facelifted attack aircraft, this special ground attack aircraft, after the carrier, will also make strong progress in the attack power of the aircraft carrier, especially against the enemy fleet with strong anti-aircraft firepower, when using F190, it will face a lot of dangers, and HS129 can rely on heavy armor to protect.
However, the current HS129 is preparing to take off, and the previous one is different, the most obvious difference is that in the middle of the fuselage surrounded by the landing gear on both sides, there is an extra bulging thing, placed under the fuselage, as if it is a pot lid, and as if the plane itself is pregnant.
At the same time, this HS129 attack aircraft is no longer a single-seat aircraft, with two seats in tandem in front and rear.
From this point of view, it is like a torpedo machine, and only a torpedo with complex operation requires a multi-person setup.
Due to the removal of the armor protection, the weight of the aircraft was greatly reduced, and with the addition of two high-power propeller engines, the take-off of the aircraft was not too much of a problem at this time.
"It can take off. Pay attention to the search route. The sound of the bridge came from inside the headphones.
"Haiyan 1 received." As he spoke, the pilot pushed the throttle stick on his left side to the maximum, and with the roar of the engine, the strangely shaped plane began to glide on the deck.
Excellent power, so that it is not very dependent on warships, the aircraft carrier did not turn into a headwind because of the release of his plane, just maintained the maximum speed, just at the end of the deck, Haiyan 1 has been easily pulled up.
"Radar warm-up." At this time, the personnel in the rear cabin also began to be nervously busy, at the time of takeoff, the engine had to work at full power, he could not ask for more power, and now, as the plane had taken off, he also began to operate various instruments in front of him.
With the flip of one switch after another, the roar of the engine became louder, and puffs of black smoke rose outward, and at the same time, the plane's climbing performance began to decline.
The engines on both sides, in addition to powering the aircraft, also drove the high-power generators, and at this time, a steady stream of electricity was flowing through the thick cable into the giant pot lid under the feet of the two people.
Germany has already realized the transistor of circuits, but in some areas, the role of electron tubes is still irreplaceable, such as the radar under their feet.
Yes, what is now under their feet is a device that has condensed the wisdom of countless scientific and technological workers, an early warning radar working in the S-band.
Führer Ciric clearly pointed out that the era of naval warfare in the future will be dominated by carrier-based aircraft, the battle between the enemy and us outside the visual range, and the era of battleship bombardment will soon pass.
Therefore, we must pay attention to the development of carrier-based aircraft, and also pay attention to how to detect the enemy.
Bulky seaplanes are inconvenient for the fleet to carry, and the visual search of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft is very inefficient, so it is impatient to put the radar on the carrier-based aircraft and become a carrier-based early warning aircraft.
After going through difficult efforts, this first carrier-based aircraft already has actual combat capability, and now, it is following the entire fleet to act together, on the one hand, continuing to conduct combat tests, and on the other hand, providing more and more distant early warning capabilities.
There is a radar on the aircraft carrier, but due to the curvature of the earth, the radar can only detect targets flying at high altitudes, and it is difficult to see clearly on the sea level almost twenty or thirty nautical miles away.
If you go out to sea with a ship, you will know that if you see the ship on the other side from a distance, first the mast and then the hull of the ship, because the earth is round. Ciric, who came from later generations, knew that almost all of the attacks on the aircraft carrier formation in the future would be flying at ultra-low altitudes to skim the sea, and now, he already has a certain technical ability.
Historically, in 1944, the Americans installed AN/APS-20 radar and data transmission devices on their TBM torpedo planes, which combined aircraft and simple search radars to form a warning radar system.
This system worked until after World War II, and was also exported to some countries, which shows that it has matured.
Now, it is normal for Germany to rely on its advanced electronic capabilities to realize it a few years ahead of schedule.
At this time, Haiyan 1 had climbed to three thousand meters in the air with difficulty, and the radar warm-up was almost underway, and the radar operator in the rear cabin said: "The warm-up has been completed, and the radar is activated." ”
As he flicked the switch, up to 30 kilowatts of electrical energy was continuously transmitted to the radar below, and the entire cockpit seemed to feel an instant heat, and the current flowed through various circuits, and then radiated out from the antenna below with a diameter of more than 2 meters, radiating 1 kilowatt.
Yes, the energy conversion efficiency of radar in this era is very low, and most of the electrical energy is eventually volatilized in the form of thermal energy, and the cockpit is like a steamer.
The electromagnetic waves are radiating downward, scanning to the surface of the sea, and then reflecting back, and the first bright spot you see is your own formation on the surface of the sea. When the early warning aircraft scans downward, the biggest problem encountered is the clutter on the ground, which will cause serious interference.
And on the sea, there is no need to worry so much, because the sea surface is flat, so the AWACS aircraft almost always start with the sea warning.
This advanced radar can have a detection range of more than 300 kilometers for large ships on the sea surface and more than 100 kilometers for low-flying aircraft, which can provide sufficient early warning time to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier fleet.
