Now the underwater weapons and equipment have begun to exert force, and the water surface must continue to break through, especially the aircraft carrier project, which must be carried out in the next step, the aircraft carrier is the most powerful weapon and equipment in maritime operations, so the Eighth Route Army is also preparing to build an aircraft carrier.

However, the construction of aircraft carriers requires a lot of money, and there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done, the first is to engage in carrier-based fighters, for which Duan Peng also suggested to the leaders, it is time to set up a project to design and manufacture carrier-based fighters for the navy!

The leaders of the Eighth Route Army, after research, decided to set up a project to develop the first carrier-based fighter, this task is of course handed over to Duan Peng to do, after all, only he can complete this task, others can not replace it, so the current Duan Peng is also very hard, but there is no way.

After all, now this jet fighter has a take-off weight of more than 20 tons, and the current aircraft carriers of the navies of various countries have not yet catapulted and taken off, because they are all carrier-based fighters with propellers, and they can take off directly from the deck.

As long as this carrier-based fighter is successfully developed, it will definitely be the most advanced carrier-based fighter in the world, capable of fighting 10 carrier-based fighters.

At that time, even if the Eighth Route Army Navy has only one or two aircraft carriers, it can defeat any aircraft carrier formation.

Duan Peng came with the design plan, and after the leader of the Eighth Route Army made an important speech, he came up and opened the design drawings.

When the leaders saw such an advanced carrier-based fighter, their eyes lit up.

Li Yunlong was even more excited, thinking about how cool it would be for him to take off from an aircraft carrier if he could fly this kind of carrier-based fighter.

Duan Peng said loudly: "Respected leaders, this is the design scheme of the first carrier-based fighter of our Eighth Route Army Navy, the Seahawk jet carrier-based fighter, that's right, it is a jet heavy carrier-based fighter, with a double-engine two-seat design, the pilot in front, the weapon operator in the back, the afterburner thrust of the two engines can reach 8,000 N respectively, and it will use a very unique catapult take-off method to stop the ship!" ”

Hearing these two words, the leaders were interested.

The leaders also know that now the navy of the little devils is very powerful in the world, and it can be said that in some respects, it is even stronger than the Soviet Union.

After World War I, the little devil put forward the plan for the construction of the 88th Fleet, and at that time, the United States also held a meeting with other countries to limit naval military equipment, and formed the Washington Naval Treaty.

This treaty terminated the construction of new capital ships of the signatories, and the tonnage limit of the British little devil navy was 553, and the naval tonnage share obtained by the little devil was 310,000 tons, ranking third in the world.

The little devil could not afford to build large-scale battleships, etc., so at that time it had to dismantle the battleships that were under construction and had not yet been built. But the little devil not only spent a huge amount of money on the battleship, but also put a lot of thought into it, how could he bear to dismantle it like this?

So the little devil thought of the quota of aircraft carriers, which could be used on battleships, so he changed the battleship to an aircraft carrier.

In this way, the little devil built five aircraft carriers at that time, two of which were relatively small, only 12,000 tons and 8,000 tons.

And before the little devil launched the Pacific War, five more aircraft carriers were built, so that the little devil had ten aircraft carriers at this time, which was more than the number of aircraft carriers in the United States at its peak.

From 1922 to 1945, in the past 23 years, the little devil built 25 aircraft carriers, which can be said to be very powerful.

Of course, many of the little devil's aircraft carriers are modified from merchant ships and are not very advanced.

For example, the Akagi aircraft carrier began construction in 1925, with a displacement of nearly 30,000 tons, 19 boilers to provide power, a speed of 32 knots, and a capacity of 91 carrier-based aircraft, including three types of warships, including the 18th Ship Battle.

The aircraft carrier has three decks, the upper deck is for take-off and landing, it is 190 meters long and 30 meters wide, and both the middle and lower decks can be used for aircraft to take off directly from the hangar, and the length is from fifteen to fifty-seven meters.

Without exception, these carrier-based fighters are all propeller fighters, so the take-off weight is usually less than five tons, like the famous Zero carrier-based fighter.

The heaviest is the F6 Hellcat carrier-based fighter of the United States, which is one of the best carrier-based fighters of World War II, with a take-off weight of up to 6.9 tons.

However, compared with the Sea Eagle carrier-based fighter designed by Duan Peng now, it is too far behind, because the Sea Eagle is a heavy aircraft, with a maximum take-off weight of 22 tons and a maximum external weight of 5 tons.

Basically, it can be said that the Sea Hawk carrier-based fighter is on the same level as the F4 Phantom carrier-based fighter after the United States War.

The F4 Phantom carrier-based fighter was designed from 1956 and equipped in 1961.

It is designed for good take-off and landing performance. In particular, the low approach speed, while the long air patrol time and supersonic interception are also a major requirement for carrier-based fighters.

Therefore, the F4 fighter uses a small aspect ratio swept wing, with a aspect ratio of 2.82, which follows the medium sweep angle that has always been commonly used by American fighters, with a sweep angle of 51 degrees 25 minutes on the leading edge and a sweep angle of 45 degrees at the quarter chord.

In order to ensure the requirements of the landing performance of carrier-based aircraft, the F-4 fighter adopts the front and rear edge blowing flaps, so that when the flaps are fully deployed, the maximum lift coefficient of the F-4 fighter can reach 1.44, which is the highest among the second-generation jet fighters.

So this time, the Sea Hawk carrier-based fighter designed by Duan Peng is similar to the F4 Ghost, but there is no tail design of the Ghost, because that design is too ugly.

Of course, the Sea Hawk carrier-based fighter is more advanced than the Ghost, because it is equipped with an afterburner turbofan engine, so it is more fuel-efficient, which makes the Sea Hawk carrier-based fighter have a longer endurance and range.

The Phantom fighter uses a J79 turbojet engine, and the thrust is also about 80,000 N, but its fuel consumption is much higher.

The Phantom carrier-based fighter has an empty weight of 12.6 tons and a take-off weight of 24.8 tons.

The current Sea Hawk carrier-based fighter has an empty weight of 11.9 points, a maximum take-off weight of 22 tons, and an internal fuel tank of 5 tons.

Duan Peng began to introduce to the leaders what was going on with the so-called catapult take-off and blocking the ship.

Of course, this is with a steam catapult, when Duan Peng explained these to the leaders, the leaders were amazed, such a unique design is indeed too advanced.
