Water spray afterburner! This is not science fiction, that is, in later generations, various civil airliners also have this technology, which is used to increase the thrust of the engine in the summer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the Americans and Israelis have also done experiments, modified the F-4 Phantom fighter, sprayed the compressor with water spray cooling, the high-altitude thrust of the engine increased by 150%, and the maximum speed at high altitude can theoretically reach Mach 3.2!

And the MiG-25, in order to increase the thrust of the engine, used the same means, which, of course, were added by the designers of the Tumansky Design Bureau after rigorous experiments.

If you want to increase the power of the engine, you need to increase the flow of air intake, but there is a limit to increasing the area of the air intake, and it will also increase the resistance to the wind, and the water injection afterburner is to spray water in the air intake tract to cool the air and increase the air density to increase the intake air flow. At the same time, in order to increase the volatility of water, ethanol is also added to it.

In addition to carrying a huge amount of fuel, the MiG-25 also carried a 250-liter water tank with a mixed solution of water and ethanol. When needed, you can spray water like a shower, so that the engine can be plugged in and the power is stronger.

Normally, Andrey does not want to use drenching, precious things, which are reserved for the most critical time, but now, when he meets a Tomcat, it is time for the MiG-25 to show all its teeth!

Water is constantly sprayed out of the nozzles, cooling the air intake, more air is puffed into the engine, the tail flame behind is getting hotter and hotter, and the power is boosted again in an instant!

As soon as a turn was completed, the speed fell below the speed of sound, and now, the fighter quickly broke through the sound barrier and continued to accelerate, and at the same time, the radar completed the warm-up, and high-power electromagnetic waves filled the airspace of the front hemisphere, and several bright spots appeared on the screen.

A Tomcat fighter was in the airspace sixty kilometers away from him, and the missile flying from high altitude had already detached from the trajectory of high-altitude flight at this time, and dived down from high altitude, only five kilometers away from Andrey's fighter!

Hedge head-on!

Andrey pulled back the lever, and the MiG-25 continued to climb in acceleration, flying towards the two immortal bird missiles, and went forward.

In the goggles of the helmet, the two targets became clearer and clearer, Andrei's eyes stared at the flying missile, until his retina was completely occupied by the two missiles, he pushed the operating stick, kicked the rudder, and the differential flat tail pry the nose, at this time the altitude had exceeded 10,000, and the rudder response of the MiG-25 began to become very sensitive!

Those two missiles, almost grazing Andrei's fighter, were still outside the range of the proximity fuse, and gradually flew away.

Is an overload of 17g powerful? Although Andre of later generations is a person of Shen Fei and has not entered the field army, he has practiced countless times on the flight simulator, and even the high-overload AIM-120 missile has been thrown off in the simulator, not to mention the current slow and fat chubby immortal bird, the original purpose of the development of this missile is to fight bombers, and the performance of dealing with highly maneuverable targets is simply insufficient, not to mention that it was originally aimed well, and as a result, when it came closer, the target disappeared from his field of vision! Both undead birds lost their targets at the same time.

Damn it! What's going on with this guy? William, on the other side, knew that he had encountered a hard stubble this time, and the person who dared to fly against the missile, and then threw off the high-performance air-to-air missile, was either a madman or a flying genius!

What to do? At this time, if he turns around and flies back, he can fly back into the circle of fire of his own aircraft carrier group's long-range missiles within five minutes, and he will be safe, and that madman is obviously here to challenge himself! However, as a proud US Navy pilot, he would never shrink like this, and his fighting spirit was also stimulated.

Come on! Fight a duel in style! See whose fighter has better performance and who has more experience! William was confident in his fighter.

The two undead birds have been launched, and the Tomcat fighter also has two sparrows and two rattlesnakes on board, it is enough to have these weapons, and after launching the undead birds, the Tomcat fighter instantly lost a ton of load, and it became more flexible.

"Prepare to launch Sparrow missiles." William said to the radar operator in the rear compartment.

As a two-seater fighter, the division of labor between the front and rear cabins is very clear, the front cabin is responsible for flight and close combat, the rear cabin is responsible for operating radar, and long-range and medium-range interception are the tasks of the rear cabin.

Although the Sparrow missile is not very reliable, the two sides are flying head-on at this time, and it is precisely the use of medium-range Sparrow missiles for standard combat! These are almost textbook launch conditions.

However, just as the radar operator in the rear cabin was fiddling with various switches, the target on the opposite side of the radar screen was already faster than they imagined, and the other party had already jumped up to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters! Damn, the opponent is actually sprinting faster than your own wings swept back!

The Sparrow missile mounted on the Tomcat fighter is no longer the backward AIM-7E-2 during the Vietnam War, but the AIM-7F that was only put into service last year, this missile uses a new two-stage thrust engine Hercules MK., which makes the missile have a longer range, and at the same time improves the seeker, all of which use solid electronic components, and the performance has been qualitatively improved.

However, at this time, there is still an altitude difference of 5,000 meters between the two sides! If the missile is launched and flies head-on, it will need to consume more energy, and the range will be greatly reduced, and the computer system will give a hint that the missile must be launched at a distance of at least 20 kilometers before it has a chance to hit, and now the opponent is outside its own attack envelope!

"The altitude difference is too large to launch." Hearing the voice of his companion in the rear cabin, William was very depressed in his heart, the other party had an advantage in altitude! And if you want to shoot down the opponent, you have no choice but to continue to increase your height!

Pulling the lever back, the Tomcat fighter continued to rise, William had a faint uneasiness in his heart, although the variable sweep wing of the Tomcat fighter gave it excellent performance in the airspace of medium, high and low, but, fighting against the MiG-25, a high-altitude and high-speed performance perverted fighter, it is best not to be in the airspace that the opponent is proficient in.

But William had no other way, if he did not raise his altitude, he would not be able to launch missiles, and he would not be able to shoot down the opponent.

The Soviets are so shameless, there is a kind of you come down to fight!
