Because of the lack of power, although the Tomcat has the advantage of variable sweep wings, however, the problem of weak and weak engines has always existed, and it used to rely on variable sweep wings to achieve various advantages, but in terms of gliding and take-off, this congenital weakness is not a good supplement.

Even if it is a glide jump take-off, it also needs to rely on the engine, and it is completely dependent on the engine, now, Nathan's in-flight fuel is only two tons, this glide jump take-off is no problem, so, what if it is full of fuel?

"Fill me up with gas and let me try again." Nathan said.

Fill up with gas? Hearing Nathan's words, everyone immediately gasped, originally you said that you couldn't take off with full fuel and bombs, and now, you have to fill up the gas again?

"yes, fill me up with fuel and let me try it and see how well I can take off with a full tank of fuel." Nathan said.

After speaking, Nathan glanced at Woodward: "Don't worry, although this fighter is the property of the US Navy, but when you come here, you have already been insured, if something goes wrong with this project and the plane falls into the sea, the insurance company will pay in full." ”

"As for me, I still believe in our ejection seats."

For Nathan, the danger mainly comes from landing, once a collision occurs, it is easy to destroy the plane and kill people, if it is full of fuel, then Nathan will be burned directly in a big situation.

But if you take off, it doesn't seem to be a big problem, the bow of the ship is about ten meters from the water, even if it falls, it is at most a few sips of seawater, the rescue helicopter is always ready, the bottom of the sea here is not deep, it is dozens of meters, so the tomcat falls, and it is easy to be salvaged.

Try it once?

If it can't solve the problem of full take-off, then it will still not be able to actually be deployed.

Nathan was joking just now, which also meant that Nathan was in control of everything, and now, Major General Woodward finally nodded.

You have to try it once, but if you don't try it, how will you know if it will work? It's just that it was planned to be completed in a few days, but today's project is progressing very quickly.

Nathan's self-confidence conquered everyone, and the refueling truck came up and filled Nathan's fighter with fuel.

Tomcat fighter, self-weight 18 tons, more than 7 tons of internal oil, when all filled, the Tomcat fighter has been raised to a terrible 25 tons, this weight, the tail of the two engines, not powerful?

If you don't try, you will never know, you know, no matter how powerful the engineer's computing power is, purely by calculation, it is impossible to make an airplane, it must go through a test flight, and in the same way, whether it can take off perfectly, it also needs to be actually flown to know, pure theoretical calculations, many times it is not possible, such as now.

The exact number is 25.5 tons, the Tomcat fighter stopped in the take-off position again, the tail flame shield was raised, everyone knows that this experiment is more important, the Tomcat fighter, can it fly?

Everyone was staring, and inside the bridge, Woodard held the edge of the window with both hands, and from the open window, looking down, the tomcat spread its wings, and suddenly, like an eagle preying, began to accelerate rapidly!

The two TF41 engines, running at high speed, constantly spewed blazing flames, and the speed of the Tomcat fighter, faster and faster, left the straight deck, rushed to the jump deck at the bow of the ship, and then continued forward, the wheels had already left the deck!

At the moment of leaving, even the naked eye could see that this Tomcat fighter, as if a person stepped on the air, suddenly fell down about half a meter, and then continued to fly upward!

It flew with great effort, but fortunately, with the impetus of two engines and the lift of the spread wing of the variable swept wing, it nevertheless began to climb.

Sure enough, no!

The current take-off runway, at 167 meters, is already considered the longest.

Even Nathan couldn't help but regret it in his heart, he said a big thing yesterday, yesterday, he also said that a hundred meters is enough, which is according to the standard of J-15, but he didn't expect that the current engine of the Tomcat fighter is still a drag oil bottle.

Without a strong engine, everything was in vain, and when he just felt the plane suddenly fall downward, Nathan knew that this plane was on the Invincible, and it was already in the maximum take-off state.

That's right, it's full of fuel, without any weapons, reaching a weight of 25.5 tons, and taking off from this 167-meter take-off line is already the limit.

What if you increase the length of the take-off line?

This will lead to serious interference with the landing zone, making the deck more inconvenient to operate, and in the event of a crosswind, the take-off is even more thrilling, after all, the deck is very narrow.

If it takes off half fuel and half bomb every time, then the Tomcat fighter will be overkill!

Nathan was in the sky, circled the aircraft carrier once, and stabbed down again.

Don't look at the full fuel take-off, but there is no problem with landing with full fuel, it all depends on Nathan's skill, still hooked the second blocking cable, and finally stopped steadily.

When Nathan's fighter plane was pushed to the side of the deck again, this test flight, even if it was over, there was no need to take off again, everyone had to find a way.

The Invincible headed for the port at economic speed, and in the flight preparation room on the aircraft carrier, a meeting had already been held.

"The maximum take-off weight of the Tomcat cannot exceed 26 tons, or in the case of the aircraft carrier at full speed, if we are lucky and catch up with the strong wind, it may be more, but it will not exceed 1 ton at most."

The take-off capability of aircraft carriers is also affected by the external wind, and when the aircraft carrier sails at full speed against the wind, the deck wind will increase, and it will be easier for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land.

This is completely dependent on the weather, just like the Argentine aircraft carrier of May 25, which was originally going to attack the British warship, but that day there was no wind, and as a result, it was unable to release the carrier-based aircraft.

At most, hang 1 ton more, that is, a combination of sparrows and rattlesnakes, immortal birds, then don't expect it, one is half a ton, and a tomcat without an immortal bird can it still be called a tomcat?

You know, the Tomcat's signature is a combination of AG9 and the Immortal Bird!

As for the export issue, there must be no control, even BS countries can order immortal birds, not to mention the United States' iron-hearted little brother Britain, if this cannot be mounted, then in the upcoming world war, the combat effectiveness of the Tomcat will be greatly reduced.

What to do?
