Chapter 881: The Catapult Controversy
readx;
Hearing this, Anikiev was not annoyed, because he finally found that he had just been confused by the various suggestions of the person in front of him, and thought that he had a deep study of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, but now it seems that he is still a layman!
"It's not that we don't have the technology to bomb us, but even if we install an aircraft carrier built for Iraq, it will be useless, because the carrier-based aircraft that we export to Iraq can only take off in a glide jump. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}} "Since it was exported to Iraq by the USSR, then, as the head of the Neva Design Bureau, Anikyev said it quite directly.
Although this is actually embarrassing to the other party, he must make it clear, because the Su-27K cannot be exported to Iraq, and the only carrier-based aircraft that can be exported is the Su-25, which is a Soviet-made attack aircraft that Iraq has introduced, and only has limited air combat capabilities. In fact, the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier in Iraq will not be particularly large, that is, it is enough to take off in a glide jump.
Those two shè devices, even if they are mounted, are also decorations, because, until now, the development of fighters capable of shè and take-off has not begun. {{}}
Isn't there a Su-27K, and the MiG-29K are being developed?
If you want to change the land-based aircraft to carrier-based, you need to change a lot of places to strengthen the anti-cháo anti-corrosion ability, but only a small part, in order to take off in a glide jump, improve the lift structure of the aircraft, such as adding a front canard wing to the Su-27, which is also a very small part, if you want to succeed in a qualified carrier-based aircraft. The most important thing is to be durable!
The landing of carrier-based aircraft is different from the landing of ordinary aircraft, which is to gradually decelerate, and then gradually ground the main landing gear and release the parachute. The nose landing gear comes down, and then brakes gradually.
And carrier-based aircraft, at the time of landing. Not to slow down, but to accelerate! Hardly a landing, but a hard hit on the deck. Then, the back of the hook hooked one of the several arresting cables below, and dragged the aircraft stiffly, in the process, the main landing gear and the fuselage, have to withstand a huge force, so, compared with the land-based aircraft, the modification is more critical, as the main landing gear that first hit the aircraft carrier deck. The structure must be greatly strengthened, and the main load-bearing parts of the entire aircraft, through the girders, are to be reinforced, so that. Carrier-based aircraft are much heavier than land-based aircraft in terms of strengthening structures, about 500 to 700 kilograms.
Only the increase in the structure of the fuselage and the main landing gear has already increased a lot. The fighter development agency had to think of adding a more powerful engine, but if it was to take off, it would have to add an extra weight: the nose landing gear!
If you take off with a glide jump, there are no requirements for the nose landing gear, just the same as the land-based one, but if you take off, it will be different, because if you take off, it is equivalent to pulling the nose landing gear and driving the entire aircraft to fly forward, in this process, the nose landing gear must bear considerable force, and the strength of the nose landing gear must be greatly strengthened! That means you have to gain weight!
So, for the designers of the fighter, this is a headache. {{}}
"I see!" Cusai pretended to be very touched and said: "Yes, but even if the Su-25 can only take off by gliding, the design of our steam bomb shè cannot be changed, not now, it does not mean that there will be no in the future!" ”
When Gorshkov heard Anikeyev's words, he understood what he meant, although ostensibly it was for Kusay, in fact, it was for him.
The question of whether or not to play shè was a point of contention among Soviet technicians.
Although the Soviet nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk had already planned to use bombs, the aviation designers who provided carrier-based aircraft for the carriers, including Sukhoi, Mikoyan and even the technicians of the Yak Design Bureau, opposed the installation of bombshells on the new carrier.
Their excuses, naturally, are still old-fashioned, if the aircraft uses a bomb shè to implement forced acceleration takeoff, the aircraft structure needs to be strengthened, otherwise the aircraft will be seriously damaged in the process of takeoff, and it will greatly increase the failure rate of the aircraft, and because the Soviet Union is located in the north, if the new aircraft carrier is deployed in the cold north, the requirements for the xing energy of the bomb shè will also be very high, and how to use the steam bomb shè and the water will be frozen?
Not only the Su-27K and MiG-29K, but even the twin-engine propeller "Yak"-44 pre-aircraft designed by the Jacques Design Bureau for the new aircraft carrier, they also believed that they could complete the takeoff from the skid runway at the bow of the ship without playing shè. {{}}
In view of the unanimous conclusions of these aircraft design bureaus, the engineering and technical personnel of the Black Sea shipyards also began to lean towards their opinion that the USSR was going to follow its own peculiar path, and the bomb shè had little necessary value.
However, the designers of the Neva Design Bureau are very determined, compared with the glide jump take-off, the carrier-based aircraft after the take-off of the bomb shè will have a greater weapon load capacity and fuel carrying capacity, which can significantly improve the aircraft's air time and combat radius, and more weapons load, will make the single aircraft have more powerful combat effectiveness. Although there are many technical problems to overcome when taking off, and it will be more uncomfortable for pilots to be shot, it is necessary to have a take-off in order to obtain better combat performance. They sternly refuted the short-sighted gaze of the aircraft designers, and the two sides argued fiercely.
As long as the Soviet Union is willing to unify its thinking, there will be absolutely no problem in engaging in bombing shè take-off, so, taking this opportunity, Anikyev once again raised this issue with the commander of the Navy.
Gorshkov naturally knew that he himself was also inclined to use the steam bomb, and now, seeing the leaders of this Middle Eastern country, so persistent in aircraft carriers, and even more yearning for the steam bomb shè, he was a little curious, although Anikeyev's words made him a little dissatisfied, he still asked the Ku track: "President Cusay, in the current situation that the Su-25 can only glide and take off, you still insist on using the steam bomb shè, why is this?" ”
"The whole life of an aircraft carrier is very long, and some aircraft carriers will serve for more than 50 years, so the hull will not move, but the carrier-based aircraft on the hull will definitely change many batches. Compared with the glide jump take-off, the bullet shè take-off can allow the fighter to take off with a full load, and the xing energy will be more powerful, for example, the air retention time is increased, which reduces the number of takeoffs, and the power of the aircraft carrier lies in the carrier-based aircraft on it. Qusay said: "Therefore, we in Iraq must do our best to carry out this aircraft carrier project, and we must have the greatest power." ”
Look at how far-sighted the leaders of other countries are! At this time, Anikyev and Belov seemed to have found a bosom friend, if the leaders of their own countries supported them like him, the Soviet aircraft carriers would have sailed on the world's oceans a long time ago to compete with the US Navy formations, and where it is like now, at most, a submarine would be sent over to provoke.
Qusay's statement that the life of the aircraft carrier will be very long, and the shipboard opportunity to be renewed has obviously impressed Gorshkov, and this reason is also very critical. Well, future generations will not forgive them!
Even in the middle of the life extension, it is a big project to make a major change to the deck and add shè devices, so now we will take the path of shè and shè in one step!
What Qusay said just now is very brilliant, and it is also his real idea, the bomb shè device plays a vital role in improving the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier, if there is no bomb shè weapon, then how can the E-2 pre-jing aircraft he wants to get next take off and land from the aircraft carrier?
The Su-27, which can only take off with half fuel and light load, is not the best choice, but Qusay knows that he does ignore the technical problems that need to be overcome when the carrier-based aircraft takes off. In later generations, the Soviet Union had already disintegrated before the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was built, and the project of bombing the carrier-based aircraft to take off collapsed with a bang, so the carrier-based aircraft that could take off the bomb shè did not come up with it, and when the Soviet Union was in turmoil, the first aircraft carrier, which had been renamed the Kuznetsov, was still undergoing sea trials, and the second Varyag was only 70 percent progressive. However, Qusay is confident that the USSR must have already had technological reserves!
How can jets with high thrust-to-weight ratios take off from the jump deck? This is also the time when the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk used bombs, because at that time, the Kuznetsov and Varyag could only be equipped with Ka-31 pre-jing helicopters, and the pre-jing capability was seriously insufficient, and only the fixed-wing pre-jing aircraft was the king.
At this time, the Yak-44 pre-aircraft developed for the Ulyanovsk used a similar body to the E-2. Even the Su-27K is impossible to get, and Qusay has no confidence in the Yak-44, which is a pre-machine that will not be in service at all in later generations, after all, the electronic level of the USSR is there. But how did Qusay come up with the idea of the E-2 pre-jing? Will the Americans export to him?
Cusay pondered in his mind.
"Yes, the take-off of the bomb shè is the best equipping scheme for the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, and our military fully supports the take-off of the carrier-based aircraft shè." Gorshkov said.
