ps: Thank you to the readers for the great "Gunpowder Gun King" and "Dahan Country surnamed Liu" for rewarding heaven 100 vertical and horizontal coins respectively, thank you^_^, especially thank you readers for the great "Dancing Wind", thank you for rewarding 366 vertical and horizontal coins 12 times in a row in one breath, too generous o (n_n) o haha~

The main plane earth, the vertical and short take-off and landing fighters currently existing in the world, has three kinds of power systems, namely rotary nozzle engines, lift engines and lift fans. The specific aircraft models are: British Harrier, Lao Maozi's Yak 38/141, and the Star-Spangled F35.

For vertical and short take-off and landing fighters, it has always attracted the attention and research of countries around the world, mainly because it has several exciting and inseparable advantages: after the airport is completely destroyed, the aircraft still has combat capability, greatly improving the secondary counterattack force; On the front line, it can be replenished on the spot, prolonging the empty time, and improving combat effectiveness; Increase the number of aircraft on board aircraft carriers, upgrade the combat capabilities of light aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, and have air combat capabilities that other countries cannot take lightly.

Of course, the most attractive is the last one, because now in the world, the technology of building aircraft carriers is becoming more and more developed, but what it brings is that the construction cost is getting higher and higher, and the construction time is getting longer and longer. However, the most terrifying thing is that the anti-aircraft carrier missile and submarine technology is improving day by day, and now the aircraft carriers with actual combat performance in the world are the Nimitz class of the Star-Spangled Banner, as for the medium-sized and light aircraft carriers such as Britain, France, and Thailand, they are more at sea to show their national strength and brush their existence.

Although aircraft carriers are expensive and unaffordable, people can't let urine suffocate to death, amphibious assault ships are cheap! The Wasp-class amphibious assault ship of the Stars and Stripes has a full load displacement of about 41,000 tons, a flight deck of 249.6 meters long and 36 meters wide, which is equivalent to a medium-sized aircraft carrier and can carry 20 AV-8B vertical take-off and landing fighters or more than 40 helicopters. The French Mistral-class amphibious assault ship has a full load displacement of 21,500 tons and can carry 16 helicopters. Even the half-hidden "22DDH helicopter destroyer" of the little devil is 248 meters long, 38 meters wide, 7 meters draft, with a standard displacement of 19,500 tons and a full load displacement of 27,000 tons. Reminiscent of the fact that the Japanese Self-Defense Force can buy the naval version of the F35 from the Star-Spangled Banner, no matter how you look at it, it is a quasi-aircraft carrier (the general displacement is 30,000 tons, which can carry 20 combat aircraft).

Although the Yanhuang Republic modified and built the "Liaoning" experimental aircraft carrier by itself, the fighter used was still the Su33, a fighter that relied on taxiing to take off. Because of its small take-off weight and short combat radius, it can only carry out air combat defense tasks most of the time, and does not have the ability to fight a decisive battle with other aircraft carriers.

So are vertical and short take-off and landing fighters the savior of the Yanhuang aircraft carrier? It's really hard to say, in order to achieve vertical take-off and landing, the price paid by this fighter in terms of performance is really too great:

The British Harrier fighter, due to its special aerodynamic shape, has no supersonic flight ability, but it is only better than nothing, and it is completely the fate of being tortured and killed when encountering other air superiority fighters of the same national strength. In addition, the Harrier has serious short legs, and the combat radius of the Sea Harrier fighter is only a pitiful 500 kilometers, which is a fight with the early version of the MiG-29.

Lao Maozi Yak 38 (Yak 141 did not complete the test flight work and dismounted) is the same as the Harrier, low load, poor maneuverability, the two lifting engines in the middle of its fuselage not only add a lot of dead weight to the fighter, but also consume a lot of fuel when taking off, resulting in the maximum range of the Yak aircraft (not equipped with any weapons yo ~~) is only 1300 kilometers.

The F35 of the Star-Spangled Banner can be described as a master of technology, but also in order to take care of vertical take-off and landing, it loses its supersonic cruise capability, and the central turbofan occupies a large amount of space in the aircraft, making the built-in magazine small and the ammunition with insufficient ammunition. At the same time, the combat radius is shorter than that of the F22 and other third-generation and a half fighters, only 1100 km. So the F35 positioning is really a bit embarrassing, you say that it bullies the third-generation fighters of various countries as a fourth-generation aircraft, there is no problem with that. But more than ten years later, when the third-and-a-half-generation and fourth-generation aircraft of various countries are successively equipped on a large scale, won't the F35 only have to find a masochistic life?

Therefore, in view of the technological gap and the performance gap, the Yanhuang military's development thinking at the present stage is to abandon the "crooked and evil ways," concentrate on improving the traditional third-generation aircraft, and strive to develop its own fourth-generation aircraft. But today, with a phone call from the African, the development trajectory of the Yanhuang fighter began to turn.

A warehouse in Lanzhou Military Region, here is a warehouse specially set aside by the Yanhuang military in order to be able to do business with the mysterious African: the entire warehouse is fully enclosed, the top of the warehouse is nearly 30 meters high from the ground, all the monitoring equipment is removed, only the electric lighting and necessary fire-fighting equipment are retained, and the warehouse is cleaned up empty, and the cleaning is also very clean. Of course, there are no patrols in normal times, only a guardhouse is placed outside the gate, and two or three soldiers are on duty.

Today, the usually quiet warehouse suddenly became lively, and a long line of military cars drove on the road in the distance.

"Didi!" The open jeep came to the front of the warehouse and honked its horn.

"Hello sir, may I ask what you are doing here?" The leader of the duty group, the soldier Fang Hua asked with a salute.

"This is a paper order, from now on the warehouse will be in our care, you can return to your own troop station!" Huang Yun, an officer who got out of the jeep, took out a letter with an order written on it and a red seal, and gestured.

"Yes!" After reading the letter, Fang Hua didn't find any problems, immediately saluted, returned to the duty room, and then got into the equipped military jeep with the other two and rushed towards his troop station. It's so nice for them to be able to leave this place where "rats can starve to death in the warehouse"!

After seeing the soldiers on duty leave, Huang Yun glanced at his watch and ordered: "There are still 2 minutes left before the agreed time, everyone is outside the warehouse wall first, and then go in when the time is up." ”

"Yes!"

Five minutes later, as the soldiers opened the tin doors of the warehouses one by one, they came to the gates of the warehouses made of stone, brick and concrete.

"Insert the key, enter the password."

"Understood!"

"Bang la la~~" As the motor turned, the heavy warehouse door slowly opened outward, and I saw that there were fighters similar to J-11 (Yanhuang version of Su27) neatly parked inside.

"Team Leader Deng, I'll trouble you next. The open space outside the warehouse is large enough that the plane can drive out directly after checking that it is correct. Officer Huang turned his head and said to Deng Ling, the leader of the flight ground crew group who came with him this time.

"Don't worry! Everyone, attention, pick up the guys, and follow me in. There are already inspection equipment inside, and all the security checks before the plane takes off will be carried out immediately. ”

"Yes!"

More than thirty minutes later.

"The engine is fine."

"The wing strength is normal."

"The internal wiring of the fuselage is normal."

"The front tyre pressure is normal."

"The cockpit pressure equipment is normal, and the instrument pointers are operating normally."

After another five minutes, Wang Zhuang, the test pilot who came with him this time, put on a flight helmet and an anti-load suit, and sat carefully in the cockpit of the plane. Then press the switch and gently start the engine, let the engine warm up and self-test, and start the various electronic instruments on the plane at the same time.

"The engine output is normal, the data meters are normal, and now the minimum thrust is maintained, and it is slowly driving out of the warehouse." Because the shape design of the entire aircraft and the internal layout of the cockpit are almost exactly the same as the J-11 produced by Yan Huang himself, Wang Zhuang, who has flown the J-11 for more than 500 hours, is very familiar with driving after spending the first minute or two of discomfort.

"Slow, slow." Under the command of the ground staff, a light blue painted J-11 slowly drove out of the warehouse and drove towards the spacious cement floor outside the warehouse little by little.

"Stop!" As the ground crew with two red batons in their hands formed a "fork" shape, the plane piloted by Wang Zhuang stopped steadily.

After Huang Yun saw that everything was ready, he walked up to the temporarily placed escalator and asked, "How is it, Wang Zhuang, is there anything wrong with the operation?" ”

"No, the cockpit is basically the same as the J-11, the only difference is here" Wang Zhuang pointed to the upper left corner, where there is a big red button on the edge.

"This is exactly what I want to tell you - vertical take-off and landing button, the middle of this J-11 has made small changes, and a small volume, the country's newly developed anti-gravity generating device is installed, which stores something called anti-gravity liquid, which is very similar to a battery, except that it needs to be energized to use, and a repulsive magnetic field with a range of about 30 meters can be generated with a range of about 30 meters, which is contrary to gravity. That is, the aircraft will gradually become lighter at the beginning, and then slowly rise upwards as if someone is holding it, and after reaching a certain altitude, the engine will be ignited again to achieve flight. However, there is a limit to the number of times this liquid can be used, and it can be used about 10~12 times after one change, and it needs to be replaced again. ”

"Got it, then I'll start it now." Test pilot Wang Zhuang only then understood why he had to come to this warehouse to "pick up the goods" this time.

"Be careful in everything, remember safety first, and eject immediately if there is a problem. There are still many more experimental aircraft in our warehouse, understand? ”

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission."

"Come on!" Huang Yun patted Wang Zhuang on the shoulder, then walked down to lean on the escalator, and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Everyone pay attention, except for the necessary ground staff, all the rest exit the warehouse wall, quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

Fifteen minutes later.

"Wang Zhuang, it's okay, after the clearance is completed, you can take off, remember, the repulsion effect can push you all the way up to 10,000 meters in the air, don't be in a hurry to ignite!"

"Yes!" After hearing the take-off order, Wang Zhuang stabilized his mood, then turned off the engine, checked the cockpit cover again for no accidents, and gently pressed the "vertical take-off and landing button". Soon, five seconds later, Wang Zhuang felt a little shaking of the plane under his buttocks, and then he felt as if he had a gentle palm, slowly supporting his plane upwards. From the outside, the plane seems to violate Newton's law of universal gravitation, like a feather, slowly rising, not fast, but the rise is very steady.

Inside the command car, Huang Yun asked with a radio communicator, "How do you feel?" Do you feel unwell? ”

"Everything is normal, it's a lot like the feeling when I was riding in the observation car with my son, and the vision is gradually rising and expanding."

"Pay attention to the altitude dashboard readings, the first time to prevent accidents, you go up to 5000 meters and ignite, this altitude air density, especially oxygen density, the engine is not prone to problems. On one's mind! If something goes wrong, eject it right away! ”

"Understood!"

A minute later, the blue-painted plane, which had risen to an altitude of 2,000 meters, had changed from a behemoth to a small black dot in the eyes of everyone. Wang Zhuang looked around from the cab and saw that the surrounding mountains and woods had become very small, like building blocks for children to play with.

Technical support inside the vehicle.

"How's it going?" Huang Yun, who came here, asked uneasily.

"Everything is normal, now the altitude is 2417 meters, because there is air flow in the sky, 'Bluebird 1' has deviated from us by 210 meters and is moving slowly to the northwest."

"Pay attention to the surrounding airspace and maintain radar detection to prevent other aircraft from intruding and interfering."

"Yes!"

In the cockpit of the 'Blue Bird No. 1', Wang Zhuang looked at the blue sky and white clouds very bored. After the initial caution and novelty, he found that it felt like taking a high-speed elevator, except that the "floor" was super high and was always rising, and the elevator was partially transparent, so that he could see the sky and the sun.

After 2 minutes and 45 seconds, it was 5,000 meters above the ground.

"Reach a predetermined altitude and the engine starts firing!" Wang Zhuang reported and operated at the same time.

"Roger, the ground surveillance vehicle is tracking, everything is normal."

Looking from the sky, I saw that the "Blue Bird No. 1", which had just been quiet, suddenly erupted from the tail of the flames, and in just a few seconds, the speed accelerated from 0 to more than 100 kilometers, and as time passed, the speed became more and more pleasant.

Fifteen seconds later.

"This is Bluebird One, everything is normal, it has reached normal flight speed, and it has begun to hover and fly."

"Keep the 'VTOL button' open to test fuel consumption and speed changes."

"Yes!"

Thirty minutes later.

"The report, the fuel gauge shows that the fuel consumption is 15% less than the original J-11, and the maximum speed is increased by 20%, but limited to the strength of the airframe structure, I dare not accelerate anymore!"

"Roger, you're doing the right thing. Now turn off the 'VTOL button' and continue testing. ”

"Understood!"

Forty minutes later, as a J-11 slowly landed vertically outside the warehouse wall, on the vast open space around it, Huang Yun reported to the army headquarters through a confidential phone: "This is a bird's nest, report, the chicks have grown up, and the flight has been successful!" ”
