There is no shame in pilots using diapers, and many people will choose to use diapers during some long voyages.

Otherwise, in the cabin of a fighter plane, hold back for a few hours and try?

And Emily, it doesn't matter if she says that with Nathan, the two of them are so close anyway.

At this point, the shadowy buildings could already be seen in front of him, and Nathan lowered his height and contacted the other party's tower.

This is the first time that the Tomcat fighter has flown to the United Kingdom, and at this time, at the airport, there is a large group of people watching here.

Admiral John did not come, he still had a lot of work to do, and at Plymouth Military Harbour, Woodward had been waiting for a long time.

"It's coming, it's coming!" In the crowd, there were people who couldn't stop cheering.

Second Lieutenant Clive, who was very excited to hire Nathan's Navy carrier-based aircraft pilot for the first time, is now steadily advancing the Navy's plan to purchase Tomcats, and once the budget is approved, then he will also fly to the United States and fly Tomcat fighters.

Think about how much I was looking forward to it at the beginning, and now, the dream is about to come true, thanks to the jumping of the Soviets, so that everyone realizes that the big war is coming.

The Cold War has lasted for so many years, and the current actions of the Soviets are deeply stimulating everyone's nerves, for them, the Cold War seems to be transformed into a hot war at any time, and the British Navy, which has endured for so many years, will finally have its day.

They are not afraid of war, being soldiers, is to prepare for war, and only war, can show their own value, if peace continues, then the British Navy, I am afraid will become a coastal garrison.

The Tomcat spread its wings and landed firmly on the runway, and Ensign Clive had already run up.

"Major Nathan, welcome to Portsmouth." Second Lieutenant Clive greeted him, looking at the cockpit of the plane, the two slowly walked down the ladder, the pilot behind him, he looked so beautiful and moving, although he was wearing a flight helmet, his hair still showed a lot from behind, he was actually a beautiful girl!

Emily finally took off her helmet, let out a long breath, and then shook her hair, this action, which looked too tempting, immediately made the old men in the base feel excited.

"Lieutenant Colonel Emily, my partner, came here with me this time." Nathan introduced the group, and at the same time, he also saw Second Lieutenant Clive.

Major General Woodward was quietly behind, watching Nathan come down: "It's hard to come from afar, let's start officially tomorrow." ”

"No, before it's dark, I want to go and see the Invincible." Nathan said.

Before landing, Nathan had already seen that there was a leaping deck aircraft carrier moored in the harbor of Portsmouth, needless to say, it must be the new generation of British Invincible-class aircraft carriers.

This warship, which was originally intended to carry helicopters and Harriers, is it capable of carrying Tomcat fighters?

All kinds of data are useless, and Nathan wants to go up and take a look.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Woodward said.

In any case, the Invincible is still a new warship of the British Navy, this kind of warship is the embodiment of a strong navy, it is better than operating a World War II aircraft carrier, right?

The crowd walked towards the Invincible, and Emily could finally find time to go to the bathroom.

It's all to blame for being greedy, eating so much before getting on the plane, who would have thought that before taking off, Nathan would invite himself to that fighter? Knowing that he would not refuse, did he do it on purpose?

Forget it, let's solve it first, although that thing works, but it's been a long time, and it's very uncomfortable.

Nathan was fine, he cared more about the Invincible.

At this time, in the harbor of Portsmouth, the Invincible was quietly docked, and as a surface ship of the powerful British Navy, it seemed to reflect the decline of the British Navy.

At this time, the sun was shining on the earth, and the golden sunlight was shining on the surface of the sea, and also on the aircraft carrier, accompanied by everyone, Nathan stepped onto the deck of the Invincible for the first time.

"In order to take off and land Tomcats, we have modified this aircraft carrier." "In the back, three blocking cables were added, and in the middle, the original flame shield was strengthened, and the entire take-off line was 167 meters long," Woodward said. ”

When taking off on the ground, you don't need anything, but if you take off on an aircraft carrier, there needs to be a baffle behind the plane to block the tail flame, which is the flame shield.

When the jet engine of the plane is running, it is quite dangerous to be in the back of the plane, and the hot wake will scorch everything behind.

Generally speaking, a jet engine at low rpm is stationary and has a tail jet danger zone of about 150 meters and a take-off run of up to 600 meters.

In order to protect these carrier-based aircraft and deck operators, it is necessary to use gas guide plates to spray gas diagonally into the sky, otherwise the high-temperature and high-speed gas flow spewed out by jet carrier-based aircraft is amazing.

Therefore, the flame shields are placed at an angle.

Although the Invincible was originally going to take off and land in the Harrier type, which could take off and land vertically, at that time, the fuel consumption was too large, so under normal circumstances, it was to use a short run to take off.

Give it a take-off line, leaving 167 meters, which is definitely a lot, anyway, the Harrier is a vertical landing, leaving a deck behind, just be able to land.

Nathan nodded: "If our take-off line is only a hundred meters, then it can leave plenty of space for the landing behind." ”

The deck is so cramped, so if you take off here, you won't be able to land at the back.

As long as it is an angled deck, it is impossible to take off and land at the same time, but now the take-off zone and landing zone overlap, which is quite unfavorable for the operation of the deck.

So, Nathan brought it up, just leave a hundred meters is enough!

A hundred meters? Hearing Nathan's words, everyone present was stunned, still afraid that this 167 meters was not enough, and now, Nathan only said that 100 meters is enough?

In fact, if you compare it with later generations, 100 meters is really about the same, just look at the Liaoning.

The Liaoning has two take-off lines, the short one is 105 meters and the long one is 195 meters, so some sayings that on the Liaoning, carrier-based aircraft cannot take off with full load, it is actually wrong, if it is a short-range mission, if it is loaded with half fuel, then take off from the take-off point of 105 meters, if it is a long-range mission, then take off from the take-off point of 195 meters with full fuel and full ammunition.

However, this is completely on its own power, the longer the line, the greater the deviation from the normal take-off line when taking off, if the crosswind is too strong, it may fall halfway to the flight.

In short, the J-15 can do it, and the Tomcat fighter can also do it, although the engine is not powerful, but the Tomcat fighter has the advantage of a variable sweep wing!
