Chapter 431: The Donghua Empire's independent research and development capabilities are getting stronger and stronger!
All the officers and men on the "Paradise Island" knew that the emperor they respected the most was on the flagship "Baiqi" aircraft carrier at the moment, silently observing their every tactical move. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although everyone was nervous and excited, no one dropped the chain at a critical moment.
A completely new carrier-based anti-submarine helicopter was unhurriedly pushed out of the helicopter hangar in the stern of the ship by ground crews. Soon, the four rotors that were hanging low slowly began to rotate.
Zhong Xing, lieutenant commander of the 5th Helicopter Gunship Wing of the 3rd Naval Aviation Division of the Royal Navy of Donghua, turned on some of the avionics switches of the helicopter, and the entire helicopter suddenly turned into a steel monster with red and green night lights flashing above and below the body.
Zhong Xing continued to turn on the anti-collision light switch, turned the light to the brightest, took a deep breath, waved his gloved right hand, and said in a low voice to Major Yue Xinmin, who was sitting in the back row: "Xinmin, it's finally our turn to appear!" Power on the avionics system! ”
After saying that, Zhong Xing turned on the main light switch.
On deck, the signal guide, wearing a yellow, bright silver reflective vest, retreated to a safe distance and gestured for Chung Sung to continue.
As the throttle increases, the new turboshaft engine, specially configured for this new anti-submarine helicopter, unleashes a powerful roar, which soon transforms the four blades of the paddle hub and rotor blades connected by a flexible V-shaped steel strip stack into a translucent wheel of light and shadow.
Yue Xinmin tightened the flying helmet with sight on his head, stared at the avionics system in front of him without blinking, and said steadily: "The power supply of the avionics system is fully open, the target acquisition system is normal, the pilot's night vision system is normal, the total pressure ratio of the power system is 18, the maximum output power is 1940 horsepower, the specific fuel consumption is 77.6ug/j, the power system is normal, and it can take off!" ”
As a veteran who switched from Army Airlines to Hainan Airlines, Yue Xinmin loves the performance of the two TTH-WZ-701C turboshaft engines installed in this WZ-10H even more than his wife.
This turboshaft engine, which represents one of the highest levels of the aviation industry of the Donghua Empire, has a total pressure ratio of 17 to 18 for the turbine engine imported from the empire (made in the base), and the maximum continuous output has also increased from the original 1510 horsepower to 1662 horsepower, which can continue to output 1800 horsepower for 30 minutes, and the maximum output power of 2 and a half minutes of continuous emergency has also increased from the original 1723 horsepower to 1940 horsepower, and the specific fuel consumption rate has been reduced from the original 78.7 to 77.6.
As Yue Xinmin's words fell, Zhong Xing calmly and slowly pulled the operating lever, and after the helicopter shook violently, the landing gear slowly left the deck, and the entire WZ-10H gradually rose into the air without any swing.
The signal guide stood like a nail in the strong wind blowing from the helicopter rotors, and gestured to Zhong Cheng, who was in the front seat of the cockpit, indicating that Zhong Cheng could continue to fly the plane to increase altitude.
"Xinmin, do you think the emperor can see us?" Zhong Xing's tone had an inexplicable hint of nervousness.
"Absolutely!" Yue Xinmin nodded without hesitation and replied: "Anti-submarine is one of the important subjects in this sea trial!" With the emperor's concern for our HNA, he will definitely pay close attention! ”
In order to compete for the crew members of the anti-submarine helicopter crew on the "Paradise Island," the aviation units and pilots of the Donghua Royal Air Force, Army Air Force, and Navy Air Force bases were repeatedly selected for almost a year and a half.
All pilots and aviation officers know that as the first nuclear-powered battlecruiser independently designed and manufactured by the Donghua Empire, His Majesty the Emperor Jincheng, who has always attached great importance to the Royal Navy, will always pay attention.
Zhong Xing and Yue Xinmin were able to stand out from the many elite pilots and air forces and become the pilots of the first anti-submarine helicopter crew of the "Paradise Island." They are undoubtedly extremely excellent in terms of piloting skills, physical fitness, and psychological quality. But even so, they still couldn't hide the excitement and nervousness in their hearts at this moment.
The Royal Donghua Navy began to train aircraft carriers and carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft in 1938, and by the time the first Admiral-class aircraft carrier was launched, five carrier-based helicopters had been damaged due to a variety of common accidents on the ship's surface, such as takeoff, control errors, and landing gear collisions during the tumble, and four naval aviation officers had lost their young lives.
And the night take-off, anti-submarine, and landing missions like Zhong Xing and Yue Xinmin are now carrying out, not to mention the young Donghua Royal Navy Aviation, even the old birds of the US Imperial Navy in later generations are also deeply troubled. Almost every member of naval aviation is exposed to accidents of various sizes to a greater or lesser extent.
"Seahawk 5-101, pre-takeoff center of gravity test." Zhong Xing shouted into the helmet radio.
As he shouted, the WZ-10H began to pitch back and forth, swaying from side to side.
"It's normal to lean forward, it's normal to lean back!" Yue Xinmin calmly reported: "The left scroll is normal, and the right side flip is normal. The tilting disc follows normally, returns to the initial state, and the center of gravity is on the main axis. ”
The world's first nuclear-powered stealth missile battlecruiser, of course, had to be equipped with a state-of-the-art anti-submarine helicopter.
This WZ-10H anti-submarine helicopter has the most advanced avionics and observation/fire control system in the world today. Its main observation system is located in the nose of the aircraft, which is divided into a target acquisition system and a pilot night vision system.
The target acquisition system consists of five components: a laser ranging and calibrator, a forward-looking infrared system, an optical direct sight for gunners, a daytime television camera, and a laser calibrator. All housed in a rotating tower with a dual-axis stabilization system located in the nose of the aircraft, allowing the crew to aim and lock on targets even in the heat of tactical movements. And the use of the forward-looking infrared system has significantly increased the night combat capability of the WZ-10H.
The pilot's night vision system is a forward-looking infrared system designed for night flights. A separate rotating tower located above the nose of the aircraft allows pilots to have a clearer view of the exterior when flying dangerous night landscapes.
"The target acquisition system rotates horizontally 120 degrees left and right, normal! Vertical pitch max -60 degrees min +30 degrees, normal! ”
Yue Xinmin continued to report various take-off detection data of the helicopter: "The pilot's night vision system rotates horizontally at 90 degrees on the left and right! The maximum angle of vertical pitch is -45 degrees, the minimum angle is +20 degrees, normal! ”
Through the radio system on the bridge of the "Baiqi" aircraft carrier, Cheng Gong listened carefully to the data clearly reported by the two antisubmarine helicopter pilots of the "Paradise Island," and a sense of pride and relief arose in his heart.
It's so rare!
Under the leadership of rejuvenated scientific gods such as Albert Einstein, Tesla, and Dr. Braun, the scientific and technological workers of the Donghua Empire have made great progress in the field of electronic technology research and development.
This WZ-10H anti-submarine helicopter replaces the starlight night vision goggles produced by the base as the main night vision system of the aircraft with a front infrared system, which is definitely a technological innovation independently created by the Donghua Empire that Cheng Gong never imagined!
As a world-class advanced multi-purpose anti-submarine helicopter, the WZ-10H not only has powerful target capture and night combat functions, but also has a strong anti-ship attack power.
The WZ series helicopters independently developed by Donghua Empire are basically improved and developed on the basis of the two "imported" helicopters, Mi-24 and Mi-28.
According to the information currently available to Cheng Gong, the WZ-10H antisubmarine helicopter gunship, which is undergoing actual combat exercises, is designed to have the spacious space of the Mi-24 "Hind" helicopter gunship and the characteristics of the Mi-28 "Apachesky" armed attack.
The WZ-10H was designed with man-machine comfort in mind, and after installing 25 sonar buoy launchers in the belly and hoisting sonar, there is still enough space to ensure the comfort of the crew in the aircraft. The cabin door has also been changed to a double-door type, making it easier for personnel and cargo to enter and exit.
If the anti-submarine warfare equipment in the aircraft is dismantled and used as an armed transport aircraft, the cabin space is enough to accommodate eight heavily armed special forces.
Different from the target acquisition system of the nose, the new multi-mode retrosynthetic aperture radar installed in the belly of the aircraft can trace the contour of the target when tracking a moving target, and has the function of target identification.
"The magnetic anomaly detector is normal! The sonar is working fine! The anti-submarine handling system is normal! The tactical intelligence processing system is normal! ”
Yue Xinmin constantly informed the captain Zhong Xing and the command center of the test results one by one: "The data link is working normally!" The landing navigation device is working fine! The missile siren is working fine! IR decoy launcher is normal! The torpedo self-test is over, now for shutting down! ”
