Chapter 282: Aerospace Fighter Test Flight

Like the American E-2T AWACS aircraft, under normal circumstances, it can detect bombers at 648 kilometers, fighters at 480 kilometers and cruise missiles at 258 kilometers, can simultaneously display 600 batches of targets, track 250 aircraft at the same time, and guide 150 aircraft to fight at the same time.

Therefore, in the era of information warfare, AWACS aircraft are particularly important.

Finally, there are the transport planes. Its function is quite simple, which is to transport supplies. The Helicarrier is too large to take off or land at will, so at some point transport planes will be needed to replenish it.

There are also AWACS aircraft on the aircraft carrier Huolong, but that is only a temporary modification, and the performance is not very high. Cannot be used on a space carrier.

After returning to Golden State, Cheng Xiao immediately went into retreat. Time is pressing, and he must build the Helicarrier as soon as possible! But before that, he had to build the above three types of aircraft.

Although he has a lot of research on flying machines. But for a flying machine like an aerospace fighter, he has almost no foundation.

Aerospace fighters cannot use the Flying Eagle's power system. It can only use a rocket-jet engine. Turbojet engines cannot operate outside the atmosphere. Moreover, it is necessary to consider not only its aerodynamic performance, but also the various environments it encounters when flying at high speed outside the atmosphere. The main thing is cosmic rays, followed by space junk and meteors.

In outer space, for high-speed flying aircraft, even a small piece of paint can smash a deep pit on the side of the aluminum alloy cabin! In today's high-tech world, hitting a stone with an egg is not necessarily beyond our strength. An egg in outer space can definitely smash a stone!

Finally, there's the issue of weapons and fuel! The conventional armament of aerospace fighters is still the electromagnetic cannon. But it also adds another weapon: microwave weapons!

Even if they are 1,000 kilometers apart, high-energy microwave beams can still destroy targets. It also carries bombs, but in relatively small quantities.

The bomb has a very heat-resistant casing filled with high-energy explosives or a small portion of thermonuclear fusion fuel.

After entering outer space, the aerospace fighter drops this bomb directly on the ground. Due to its heat-resistant shell, it cannot be completely burned out by the atmosphere.

After tens of thousands of meters of gravitational acceleration, this bomb is tantamount to a meteorite falling on the ground. The lethality it causes is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary aircraft. Plus there is thermonuclear fuel in it. The high temperature and high pressure generated by the moment of the landing collision are used to force the fusion of thermonuclear fuel and release nuclear energy! It's like a small nuclear bomb! Of course, it is not a special case that a bomb filled with thermonuclear fuel will not be used.

The process of development is boring and arduous, and it is too long to ......

Four months later, Cheng Xiao appeared on the aircraft carrier Fire Dragon on the Red Sea. The development process of the integrated fighter was in his laboratory, but the final assembly site was completed on the aircraft carrier.

The sea breeze was howling, the waves were surging, and the whole scene was unusually solemn. Because today is the day of test flights of aerospace fighters!

Inside the command tower, the staff all held their breath and quietly waited for that moment to come. On a dozen computer screens, there are various parameters. But they are all zero now, because the plane has not yet taken off!

Chengxiao's expression is also unusually serious. It was, after all, something he had never developed before. On the deck, the signal soldier stood straight with the command flag, which was hunted by the sea breeze.

The door to the hangar slowly opened. The first public appearance of the aerospace fighter is here! It's huge, almost three times the size of an all-in-one fighter! But it looks even more powerful!

Everyone's spirits are tense again!

The aircraft is still controlled by intelligent programs! It slowly walked out of the hangar, and the main wing immediately flattened!

And the folding deck of the aircraft carrier is also flattened!

Aerospace fighters came to the runway. The atmosphere is further tense, because the most popular part of the plane accident is take-off and landing!

As soon as the air and space fighters entered the predetermined position, the following voice sounded from the aircraft carrier:

Kong-01 is ready. Please instruct!

"Take off without catapults! Enter the first acceleration stage! Cheng Xiao's voice immediately sounded.

"Sora-01 received!"

The engine immediately erupted with orange-red flames! The space fighter immediately rushed forward at a dizzying speed. The main wing is repositioned again to increase the lift of the aircraft!

It's really fast. But in the eyes of Cheng Xiao and others, this extremely short acceleration time is so long......

Finally, the nose wheels of the aerospace fighter left the ground; Then its rear wheels also left. It left the deck without a hitch and into the air!

The first acceleration stage is perfectly completed!

Although Cheng Xiao's heart was also a little excited, he knew that the main event was still to come! Because the air and space fighters have to fly out of the atmosphere!

He immediately took the microphone again and shouted, "This is the command." Empty-01 received please reply! ”

"Sora-01 received, please instruct!"

"Immediately enter the second acceleration stage!"

"Sora-01 received!"

As soon as this voice disappeared into the microphone, I saw that the aerospace fighter in the air suddenly raised its head, the nose was facing up, the tail was facing directly below, and it hesitated to launch a rocket on the launch stand!

Immediately after, the flames in the tail skyrocketed! The Aerospace Fighter immediately pierced the sky at a speed comparable to that of a rocket!

The speed rose rapidly from 200 meters per second to 500 meters, then 1,000 meters, 2 kilometers, 4,000 meters, and 6,000 meters...... 7.9 thousand meters......

The first cosmic speed is a perfect breakthrough! Aerospace fighters enter near-earth orbit!

The people on the aircraft carrier began to get excited.

But they still looked closely at the parameters on the screen.

The speed of aerospace fighters is still increasing.

8 km/s ...... 9 kilometers per second ...... 10 km/s ?...... 11 km/s ?......

People are starting to get excited again, and the orbital altitude of the air and space fighters is getting higher and higher! Completely into the universe! The image of the whole earth is perfectly revealed.

It was a blue planet with a light veil around it. It's really beautiful, this is the home planet of mankind...... Earth.

The moon is brighter! It's bigger, but it's uglier!

The speed of aerospace fighters is still rising.

Increased from 11 kilometers per second to 11.2 kilometers per second!

Second, the cosmic speed breakthrough!

The fighter plane broke free from the gravitational shackles of the earth and flew to the solar system!

This is the real space fighter! Fly in space, fight in space!

At this time, a meteorite that is not big or small is also flying towards the air and space fighters.

This meteorite is also the target of this air and space fighter attack!

The detection system of the aerospace fighter quickly locked on to the target position, and then the electromagnetic cannon spat out a fist-sized shell!

In a vacuum and gravityless environment, the cannonball immediately flew straight out and collided with the meteorite!
