Chapter Ninety-Four: Daily Flights
Unlike the steam catapult, which is suddenly and directly added to the overload of 6 G, the overload force of the electromagnetic catapult to the aircraft and the pilot in the early stage of propulsion is about 3 G, until the aircraft is sent out of the flight deck, which is a process of continuous acceleration, and the steam catapult usually accelerates more and more violently in the early stage, but when it is advanced to the second half of the orbit, as more and more steam is consumed, the thrust will decrease. A pilot of an American aircraft carrier fighter once said that the second half of the steam catapult is weak, and it basically relies on the thrust of the plane's own engine to take off.
But in any case, whether it is a steam catapult or an electromagnetic catapult, only the catapult can increase the speed of the aircraft to about 250 kilometers in just 2 seconds, which greatly improves the number of lift-off sorties of aircraft carriers in a short period of time. In wartime, when the planes of both sides are at the same level of science and technology, or when there is no huge generation difference, there is no doubt that whoever has more planes in the sky will have the advantage.
It was the first time that Xia Yu felt the acceleration given to him by the catapult, because it was an electromagnetic ejection, and the instantaneous overload force was not too strong. With a mention of the joystick, the J-31 keenly raised his head, took off from the beveled deck, and stabbed directly into the sky, and at the same time took off another J-31 and two J-15, and the three planes were piloted by their respective captains.
Different from the code names used at the original base of the Army Aviation, in the aircraft carrier combat formation, the code names of the pilots are usually determined by batch and sortie. For example, this time, the code names of the two J-31s after taking off are the No. 1 and No. 2 aircraft of the 01 batch, the No. 1 aircraft is piloted by He Changhai, the captain of the J-31 carrier-based crew, and Xia Yu is the No. 2 aircraft. The two J-15s that took off were the No. 3 and No. 4 planes of the 02 batch, which were piloted by the two captains of the J-15 crew.
In this kind of daily flight mission, the pilot's personal code name is usually not used to communicate, because it is in the same flight unit, the pilots are familiar with each other, and the aircraft they fly will not change at will, so they only need to call out the batch on the radio during the operation, and the pilot of that aircraft can immediately determine that he is calling himself. This method of using batches and sorties as contact codes is much higher than using the pilot's personal code to communicate in the secret process.
Generally speaking, when pilots need to cooperate with someone they don't know because of a mission, in order to ensure that the pilot can respond immediately to the call, only in this case will the pilot use a personal code name to communicate with each other.
Therefore, although this time it is still equivalent to a temporary flight formation, in order to let the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft enter the state as much as possible, Xia Yu and the others did not use their personal code names to communicate, but used the daily flight code names uniformly.
"The No. 2 machine enters the left wingman position of the No. 1 unit in batch 01." Xia Yu controlled the plane to follow He Changhai's J-31 left rear, and then reported his position, He Changhai replied that he understood, and the two planes began to hover over the Jiangsu ship, waiting for the two J-15s to come and meet.
Generally speaking, after the fighter takes off, there will be a person in the multi-aircraft flight formation who is responsible for the command task during the air flight, and this air flight commander is generally served by the pilot of the No. 1 batch of 01 aircraft. After being divided into a two-plane formation, the pilot with a small code number and a single number is generally the chief aircraft, and the double number automatically becomes the wingman.
"Batch 01, here are the No. 3 and No. 4 units of batch 02, we will enter the formation at 5 o'clock in the direction of yours." The two J-15s made a bend and began to slowly approach the two J-31s in front, and the No. 3 aircraft, as the leader of the two-plane formation, were responsible for liaising with the front.
"01 understood." He Changhai replied, keeping the current flight attitude and speed unchanged, let the two J-15s enter the wingman position, and the four-plane formation consisting of two J-31s and two J-15s began to conduct daily flight training within the visual distance centered on the aircraft carrier.
It's more like training, but it's more of a performance, a show for pilots who have no experience in actually taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier. Touching the ship and flying again, the four planes demonstrated their flying skills in turn, and then landed on the flight deck steadily, ending this morning's flight mission.
"As you all know, ninety percent of the accidents of carrier-based aircraft occur when they land." Xia Yu stood in front of the information board in the waiting room, holding a model of a J-15 aircraft in his hand and said: "Even if we avoid the turbulence at the stern of the ship when we land, sometimes because the altitude drops too much and slows down too fast, the plane becomes unstable, and there is a very sluggish feeling when maneuvering, as if it is about to crash on the deck, I think everyone has had this feeling, right?" ”
A group of pilots of carrier-based aircraft nodded again and again, they have all had this kind of experience, and it is not once or twice, although they have successfully dealt with such a situation every time, but as long as they recall the situation at that time, they will inevitably break out in a cold sweat on the soles of their feet, I don't know what Xia Yu wants to do when he asks this question, is there a solution?
Xia Yu nodded slightly, the question he raised was actually not a new problem at all, as long as he was a pilot of a carrier-based aircraft, there was no one who had not experienced it, and it was a relatively common problem. In the face of this situation, every pilot has experience in dealing with it, and it is not easy to make a fuss about it, everyone is not stupid, and they don't rub sand in their eyes.
"Generally speaking, when encountering this state, you only need to press the nose to increase the lift and improve the responsiveness of the aircraft, plus the thrust provided by the aircraft engine, you can do it if you want to return to flight normally or continue to land, I think you have already had such experience." Xia Yu used the model of the J-15 to make a leveling action, and then continued: "But if the altitude of the aircraft drops too much, and then lowers the nose to land at this time, it is very likely that it will be swept into the stern turbulence because of the excessive altitude sinking, so what should I do at this time?" ”
Xia Yu's question made the pilots present begin to imagine what they would do if they encountered such a situation during landing, after a while, some people have begun to shake their heads, but some pilots have become calm and relaxed after pondering for a while, Xia Yu can see clearly, and immediately point out a pilot, wanting to hear his thoughts.
"I think I can ignore it." The pilot who was pointed out by Xia Yu was the pilot of the J-31 crew**, the former carrier-based aircraft pilot of the Guangdong ship, who already had flight experience in aircraft carrier take-off and landing, and was also considered the elite of naval pilots. Standing up, ** said: "I've had this experience many times, but my way of dealing with it is that as long as the plane can still fly at the minimum of glide path guidance information, it can perform an emergency go-around without changing the flight attitude. ”
"Why?" Xia Yu asked rhetorically.
"Because just like what the instructor said, once the plane sinks as a whole because of the leveling action, it is very likely that it will be swept into the turbulence at the stern, if this is the case, the plane will not be able to be saved at all." **'s eyes flashed with confidence, and he continued: "If the plane is just starting to be sluggish, the speed at that time is at least above 220 kilometers per hour, so you only need to increase the thrust to increase the taxiing distance, and you will soon be able to cross the turbulence area at the stern of the ship to the above deck, at this time the aircraft should have been further slowed down, but it will not be lower than 200 kilometers per hour, although at this time, whether it continues to land or immediately return to flight, there may be problems, But it is much better than being caught up in the turbulence of the stern of the ship because of the reckless leveling in the first place. ”
