Chapter 425: An Unexpected Discovery
The plane is upside down, and if you want to escape, it is almost a life and death.
Even in the United States, there is still no precedent for parachuting out in such a situation, and everyone's eyes are on the ejected pilot's seat.
The flame at the rear of the seat turned horizontal, and then, diagonally upward, it had left the plane.
All of this is captured by a high-speed camera, which shows that this ejection seat has an attitude adjustment device!
Ordinary spectators were attracted by the plane, the beautiful fighter plane, suddenly in the air, torn into several pieces, the only fortunate thing is that those fragments are still far away from the audience, will not cause harm.
And the thing that ejected from the cockpit, with flames, followed, and umbrella flowers appeared in the air.
When the parachute opened, the ejection seat disengaged, and the oxygen mask detached, Pugachev was blown in the face by the cold wind before he came to his senses.
I was parachuted! The fighter broke down and disintegrated in the air!
Pugachev's face was full of unwillingness, and besides, this time he messed things up, and after he went back, Simonov would definitely not let him go!
The Tomcat fighter slowly landed on the runway, when Hussein came down from above, the Grumman people were cheering below, this time, there was an accident at the air show, the Soviet plane, actually went up to simulate a fight with their own Tomcat fighter, as a result, they were crushed, this incident, will make the Tomcat fighter more famous!
They cheered and helped Hussein and his radar operator down. Hussein also had an excited expression on his face, the scene just now was indeed thrilling enough. Moreover, he also represented the Pakistan Air Force and became famous, however, this was an air show, and in actual combat, the Su-27 relied on a large off-axis combat bomb. The threat to oneself is still quite large.
The air show at the air show was suspended, which was a serious accident. And the cause of the accident was the unauthorized action of the Soviet pilots, who actually took the initiative to take off and provoke the Tomcat fighters that were performing.
Organizer of the air show. on the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Serious protests against the Soviet Air Force, moreover, the planes of the Soviets were not welcome to participate in the Farnborough air show in the future!
Many videos have begun to circulate around the world, and the scene of the tomcat fighting the flanker is really thrilling! Especially at the end, the flanker actually disintegrated in the air!
Some military fans who have changed jobs, brick families. Began to comment, the main reason was that the overload of the flanker was pulled too much. At that time it was estimated that there were twelve overloads!
The reputation of the flanker was completely stinky at this air show, but the ejection seat was famous.
In that case, it was possible to successfully eject and allow the flight to escape, which shows the reliability of the height of the ejection seat.
The air show came to an end, and a few days later, Pakistan welcomed a special group of guests.
U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Paul, a team of entourage, as well as Grumman, Northrop and other large military aircraft manufacturers, came to Islamabad.
They were personally greeted by the Chief of the General Staff of the Pakistan Air Force, the elder Arslan.
The elder Arslan, who had spent several years in the United States and had become an American citizen, was even more affectionate when these Americans saw him.
"You're very welcome." The elder Arslan held Paul's hand, and in the United States, the elder Arslan had also met Paul at a drinking party, when Paul was already the commander of the best F-15 fighter wing in the Air Force.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Paul said: "We are here mainly to visit, visit and learn, and the fighters of your air force have made a big show at the Farnbull Air Show, which reflects the combat quality of your air force and is worthy of our learning." ”
In the fighting, the Pakistan Air Force is getting stronger and stronger, but before, the US Air Force did not pay attention to it, one of the reasons is that the Pakistan Air Force uses F-14 fighters, in the United States, this is their naval fighter, and in the United States, there are disputes between various services, which is a very delicate relationship.
"Very welcome." "We need to learn more," Arslan said. Now, please stop by our airbase and watch our air show. ”
According to the process, old Arslan planned to take them to see his air force show first.
"Okay." "When the show is over, we'd like to visit your country's aviation industry company," Paul said. ”
"No problem at all." Old Arslan said, looking at the people of those companies, old Arslan knew what they were thinking about.
It seems that in order to take care of the mood of these air force personnel, the old Arslan brought them not to the base equipped with F-14 fighters, but F-16 fighters, which are the main fighters of the US Air Force, and are used to match the F-15 with the low-end fighters.
Belly air intake, bubble cockpit, although this fighter is only a low-end fighter, the performance is also good.
Taxiing, taking off, watching the fighter plane doing all kinds of maneuvers in the air, many people are absent-minded.
When the plane landed on the runway, Lieutenant General Paul said: "Mr. Chief of Staff, can we go and see your aviation industry company?" ”
"Absolutely." The elder Arslan said, took the men, got into the car, and headed for the aviation industry company on the outskirts of Islamabad.
Here, it used to be only a J-6 repair plant, when the Tomcat fighter was introduced, it became an overhaul plant for the TF30 engine of the Tomcat fighter, and after that, it had the ability to disassemble and maintain the Tomcat fighter, and after that, the introduction of the F100 overhaul line was carried out one after another, and the production line of F110 was also planned to be carried out here.
The factory building being built in the distance is prepared for the F110 production line, Paul and his party, watching the various work in the workshop, watching a Tomcat fighter being disassembled, carrying out mid-term maintenance and upgrading, replacing the new F110 engine, the workers in the manufacturing plant, except for a few Westerners, most of them are Pakistanis, even Paul is very surprised by the progress they have made.
In the eyes of outsiders, South Asia is poor and backward, and it can't even produce a single car, and what high-end aircraft can be produced!
After turning around, Paul said: "At the air show, you exhibited a model of a stealth aircraft, which we are very interested in, was it developed here?" ”
Old Arslan said with a smile: "Over there, that building, is the company's R&D department. ”
These Americans came for Pakistan's achievements in the field of stealth, and when the Pakistani model was transmitted back to the United States, the US Air Force immediately shook.
They simply do not believe that Pakistan is capable of developing such an aircraft, they simply do not have the ability to develop it! However, the facts are in front of them again, and they have to believe it.
So, led by Paul, they came here to seek an answer
Now, the mystery is about to be revealed!
"Here's our electromagnetic lab." Old Arslan took these people into the lower floor of a research and development building, which was the size of a basketball court!
Surrounded by antennas, which are used to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves, verify the electromagnetic reflection ability of the research object, and the shape of these antennas is the T/R component of the phased array!
Only phased array radar can simulate electromagnetic waves in one direction, which is the most suitable for testing. And phased array radar, the cost is high, how much do these antennas cost? Even in the United States, where there is a lot of money, the laboratories used by various companies are not all built with phased array radar.
With this room, you can get an optimized shape by using a fully simulated model!
Unlike a blowing tunnel, a blowing tunnel can be used to study the situation of air flow through the model with a small-scale model, and the electromagnetic reflection has a lot to do with the size of the target, so you must use a full-scale model.
This laboratory shocked the Americans, and what shocked them even more was that there was a full-size model in this room at this time.
The diamond-shaped nose in front, the rectangular underrib intakes on both sides, the serrated ducklings above the intakes, the large delta wing main wing, the rear vertical tail is sideways, and the two engines are arranged in the rear.
This is just a full-size model, but seeing this model has surprised many people, especially the technicians from companies such as Northrop and Grumman, who have never appeared in the world!
There was still a glimmer of doubt, did the Pakistanis plagiarize the American design? Especially Northrop, could it be that some of the company's top executives betrayed the company's secrets under the stimulus of money?
Now, there is no doubt that this must have been developed by Pakistan itself! This aircraft seems to be quite advanced!
When old Arslan saw the plane, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay, let's go to another place to visit." ”
"Mr. Chief of Staff, we are very interested in this fighter plane of yours, can you explain it to us?" Paul said.
"It's nothing, it's just a random project of our own." "Let's go, I'll take you to visit our digital design center, where we've implemented the three-dimensional design of the computer," said the elder Arslan. ”
Old Arslan had clearly made a mistake, and he shouldn't have brought these people here.
"Look, its air intake, there are no partitions, only a bulge!" Just then, one of Northrop's technicians shouted.
For airplanes, there is more airflow at high speeds, less airflow at low speeds, and the engine works, the airflow is stable, which requires a thing to adjust the amount of air intake, on the MiG-21, it is the way to use the air intake cone, and then, with the progress of technology, they all began to use the way of adjustable baffles, such as F-15, the three-stage adjustable inclined plate is used, and those fighters with fixed air intakes, such as F-16, the maximum flight speed will not exceed Mach 2, The F-15, which has an adjustable air intake, has a maximum Mach number of more than 2.5.
And the air intake of this aircraft, is a bulge, which is too unusual. (To be continued......)
