Chapter 167: Hero of the Sea and Air
readx;
If you want to successfully land on the big sea and on a narrow deck, it is also a great test of the pilot's skills, and at the same time, it must be achieved with the help of technology. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}
This technology, mainly optical landing, which was invented by the British, was originally a large mirror, and the pilot could see the trajectory of his flight with the help of the mirror during the landing process, so as to ensure a safe landing even if it was corrected. After the introduction of the Americans, it continued to improve, so there was a mature "Fresnel" lens system. American technology is reflected in this aspect, and the catapult was also invented by the British, but the Americans carried it forward.
Although it is called a "Fresnel" lens, it does not have a mirror, but tells the pilot information through the change of the light signal. On a self-stabilizing pedestal (not shaking with the shaking of the ship, otherwise it would interfere with the judgment of the pilot), a set of light boxes was equipped. The vertical light group in the middle is the reference light, which indicates the correct gliding trajectory of the aircraft, and the horizontal light groups on both sides indicate the current position of the aircraft.
When the altitude and glide angle are correct, the pilot can see the orange beam in the center of the green reference light, which means that the flight action is correct and can continue to land. If you see that the light is above the green reference light, you will drop the height, and if you see it below, you will rise in height, so that you can ensure the correct descent trajectory.
Of course, in addition to this landing aid system, the assistance of professional landing guides is also required, and these people must have experience in landing carrier-based aircraft. No matter how good the computer is, it cannot accurately calculate the landing trajectory and flight status of the aircraft, let alone know the state of the aircraft and the status of the pilot, so someone must observe it visually, send out corresponding signals according to the actual situation of the aircraft, and notify the aircraft to make corresponding adjustments.
At this time, the landing guide on the deck was also Iraqi, although he had no experience in piloting a ship, but on the Nitka system. They have been rigorously trained, and they cooperate very well with Iraqi pilots.
There is no way around this, because none of these pilots from Iraq speak Russian, and in times of crisis, people's instinctive reactions are in their native language, but. This would also allow Iraq to train its own personnel.
The steel behemoth in the field of vision grew bigger and bigger, on land. Reyer had practiced many times, and with confidence, he followed the instructions of the signal light and gently pulled the lever. {{}}
The altitude is getting lower and lower, and almost all the details on the aircraft carrier can be seen clearly, and with a "bang", even in the seat, Reyer feels as if he has been turned upside down. This proved that he had succeeded, having "crashed" into the deck of the aircraft carrier, and then the front wheels also hit the ground.
Landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier has always been very barbaric, therefore, rather high requirements are placed on the landing gear of the aircraft. The mechanical strength is high, and when a land-based aircraft is changed to a carrier-based aircraft, it will inevitably gain weight.
Therefore, the Su-27K in order to compensate for the negative impact caused by weight gain. An engine with increased thrust was adopted, and the original analog fly-by-wire system was replaced by a digital fly-by-wire system with four redundant degrees.
After feeling the grounding, Reyer immediately pulled the throttle stick on the left side backwards to let the plane accelerate.
Isn't it landing now? You should slow down, but how do you speed up?
Ordinary aircraft are slowed down, because the runway is long enough to stop, but the landing of carrier-based aircraft is not always successful, if it is not successful, then, it needs to accelerate again, and then take off again from the beveled deck and land again. {{}}
If you don't accelerate at this time, for a while, the speed is not enough, the landing fails, and you can't fly, then there is only one ending: falling into the sea.
Because, although the ship has landed now, and the front wheels have also landed, it is not called a successful landing! If you want to stop the plane at a distance of more than 100 meters, you must not use ordinary methods.
The tail of the Su-27K stretched out a hook, and this hook glided against the surface of the fetters, and its role was to hook the blocking cable!
In the landing area behind Kuznetsov's deck, there are a total of three blocking cables, and if you are very unfortunate and cannot hook one, you can only open the throttle, continue to accelerate, pull up from the beveled deck, and land again.
It was technology just now, now it's luck.
Suddenly, Reyer felt his body rushing forward involuntarily, but the seat belt pulled him tightly, and all his internal organs seemed to be poured out, he knew that it was the hook in the tail that hooked the blocking cable, and if the plane was sentient, then I am afraid that it would feel the same as him at this time. {{}}
The voice of the deck crew could be heard in the headset, and he had successfully hooked the second barrage.
After hooking the blocking cable, the blocking cable and the hydraulic cylinders on both sides were depressurized at the same time, reducing the aircraft from more than 300 kilometers per hour to zero in a few seconds.
It's exciting! This was the first time that Reyes flew a fighter jet onto a real warship. Surrounded by the blue sea and surrounded by steel behemoths, this is the sea and sky eagle!
Reyer's mood was inexplicably excited, this was a historic moment, an important symbol of Iraq's strong navy.
Only now, there are no flowers, no welcoming crowds, and at the same time, on the body of Reyer, wearing the flight suit of the Soviet naval aviation, he is unknown.
For the sake of Iraq's strength, for the sake of the new Arab world, they do not hesitate. {{}}
Although he has been training in the Soviet Union, Reyes is also very clear about domestic affairs, and now, the situation in Iraq is not optimistic.
Because, the United States is going to station troops in Israel!
Israeli Prime Minister Bhabin's visit to the United States and the high-profile announcements of the two sides have filled the hearts of Arabs in the Middle East with indignation, and Reyes has already had a premonition that there will definitely be a big war between the two sides. Will they be able to defeat the United States? The United States has more than a dozen aircraft carriers, showing off its military might, while Iraq's first one is still in its infancy.
Yes, surely! Because their president, Qusay-Abdullah, will be able to lead the land of the Middle East to a brilliant tomorrow! No matter who it is, they can't stop them!
Reyer looked at the foredeck, exactly the same as when he was training on Nitka, the forward end of this aircraft carrier, there is a sixty-meter-long, twelve-degree leaping deck, which is the secret of carrier-based aircraft can take off in short distances.
However, with the later tests, it was proved that if the jumping deck can be increased to 14 degrees, it can increase the take-off weight by 10 percent, so the last few aircraft carriers, including Iraq's, are all 14 degrees jumping deck, which can make the take-off performance more excellent.
On the deck there are two take-off lines, three take-off positions, one one hundred and five meters long and one hundred and ninety-five meters long, and on the one hundred and ninety-five meter take-off line, there is one more take-off position at a position of one hundred and five meters.
Although it seems to be a lot, compared with the US aircraft carrier, the efficiency is much lower, because the US aircraft carrier has four catapults, which can catapult four planes out within a minute, but the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier can only use the jump deck in the bow of the ship to fly out one after another by its own power.
Even so, it is still a big improvement compared to the Yak-38, which was hardly a fighter jet in the previous assembly.
On the Nitka system, Reyer had the experience of catapulting and taking off, and the feeling was indescribable, as if someone had kicked him hard in the ass and then flew off a cliff. However, if he chooses, he still likes to catapult and take off, in addition to the stimulation of this feeling of pushing back, when catapulting and taking off, the landline under his crotch can be fully loaded with fuel, and the total weight reaches more than 33 tons to take off.
And on the Kuznetsov, even on the longest runway of one hundred and ninety-five meters, there were only attempts at the Su-27K, when taking off under a normal take-off weight, between twenty-five and twenty-eight tons, there was no problem at all, and it could take off at most thirty tons, not reaching the maximum take-off weight of thirty-three tons.
Moreover, in the process of catapult take-off, the pilot does not need to carry out any control, and it is impossible to yaw along the slide of the catapult, but the process of jumping off and taking off is completely the pilot's own technology, and when the crosswind is large, it cannot take off, otherwise, in the process of take-off, it will be blown into the sea by the wind.
After the ground crew inspected the aircraft, Reyer, with the help of a tractor, came to the take-off point.
The tail deflector was already propped up, and Reyer watched the movements of the people on deck, turned on the afterburner, and released the brakes.
The two modified engines in the tail burst out with a thrust of 128,000 N, pushing the heavy fighter of more than 20 tons, this feeling made Reyer's heart surge, the plane accelerated quickly, the scenery outside changed quickly, he felt that the fuselage had begun to rise, and came to the jump area.
Then, the wheels left the deck, and the fuselage sank downward, before relieving itself again and flying upwards.
Even if it is catapulted and taken off, when leaving the deck, the pilot will feel that the fuselage has a sinking process, which will make the pilot chuckle in his heart, but the countermeasure at this time is not to do any action, the plane will maintain the flight attitude just now, and continue to fly upward.
Reyer piloted the Su-27K carrier-based fighter and made the first carrier-based aircraft takeoff from the Soviet aircraft carrier Kuznetsov, which means that the Iraqi Navy can take off from the sea at any time to protect the safety of their formations!
Reyes flew around the aircraft carrier, seemingly reluctantly, before returning to his base in Ukraine.
