Chapter 141: Peregrine Falcon Goes Offline
There is still a lot of good news in August, this is not Duan Peng just made the leaders happy, the carrier-based fighter will be designed soon, and at this time, the Third Aircraft Factory of the Eighth Route Army has another major event, which makes the leaders excited.
This time it's a peregrine fighter, and it's going off the assembly line.
You must know that the Peregrine Fighter, it is an air superiority jet supersonic fighter, the performance is very advanced, and it can beat all the fighters of the little devils when the time comes.
So how can the leaders not be excited, they have long been looking forward to the Peregrine Falcon fighter and be able to serve as soon as possible.
What's more, the Allies also ordered a large number of Peregrine Fighter Fighters, so representatives of the Allies will be invited to participate in this offline ceremony.
Duan Peng is also very happy now, because he has designed and manufactured such an advanced fighter for the Eighth Route Army and the Allied Forces, then the little devil will soon be defeated, after all, in the face of the huge generation gap, no matter how many fighters the little devil has, he will not be beaten.
For the Eighth Route Army, the Peregrine fighter is off the assembly line, which means that it will not be long before this advanced fighter can be mass-produced and delivered to the Allies, and then it will make a lot of money.
Today's off-line ceremony scene, it was very lively, everyone ran over to see the new fighter, after all, the peregrine fighter, but the world's first jet supersonic fighter, a fighter faster than the sound, think about it is terrible, so what opponent is there.
I have to say that this name is also a good one, because the peregrine falcon is the fastest flying bird of prey, although it is not very large, but the eagle that is bigger than it will be pinched by it.
Therefore, the peregrine fighter is in the air, and it is definitely a hegemon, and it is impossible to find an opponent at present.
Such an advanced fighter will be equipped with the Eighth Route Army Air Force and the Allied Air Force when the time comes, and it will really be a little devil.
This offline ceremony was very interesting, Duan Peng also laid out the red carpet at the door of the assembly workshop, which was quite grand.
Early in the morning, Duan Peng and Yunxia came to the site of the offline ceremony, commanded and arranged the work on the spot, and waited to greet the leading guests.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, a business jet landed at the Third Aircraft Factory, which was the Allied representatives who had come to attend the off-line ceremony.
The leaders of the Eighth Route Army also came by plane, and now it is convenient to have an airplane, and it will take at most an hour to get here from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
This was unthinkable in the past, after all, at that time, the base areas were scattered, and they often had to pass through the control area of the little devils, which was very dangerous, so the leaders of the Eighth Route Army, even if they had to go so far at that time, they needed to dress up as ordinary people.
Well, now that this base is connected into a large area, there are no little devils, so it's not just a casual flight.
Of course, there were still four fighters escorting, and now they have also landed at the airfield.
The leaders of the Eighth Route Army and the representatives of the allied forces happily walked to the scene of the offline ceremony, and Duan Peng and they also quickly greeted them, and everyone was very happy, after all, this time the peregrine fighter was off the assembly line, but it meant that it was one step closer to the equipment.
This off-line must go down in history, because this fighter is the first supersonic aircraft in human history.
Of course, whether it can complete the supersonic flight, it depends on the next test flight, although there are also many doubts, mainly from abroad, for example, the little devils also doubt that this is not the Eighth Route Army is fighting psychological warfare, using supersonic fighters to scare them.
However, this time the little devil must be wrong, because how could the supersonic fighter designed by Duan Peng fail?
In a few months it will prove itself, the era of hypersound is coming.
Now everyone is a little impatient to see the Peregrine supersonic fighter in action.
After all, a fighter that can fly at supersonic speed, in everyone's imagination, must be different from other jet fighters, such as the Boar attack aircraft, it is a subsonic jet attack aircraft, and the Peregrine fighter must be different from it.
In fact, as everyone thinks, the appearance of the peregrine falcon fighter is very beautiful, much better than the wild boar, just like the peregrine falcon, this guy is also a very beautiful bird.
It's just such a good-looking bird, it is very ferocious, even a large bird of prey will not be taken into account, the same is true of the peregrine fighter, no matter what fighter or bomber is now put into active service, it is not worth mentioning in front of it.
Even a powerful Boar attack aircraft will be easily handled by a Peregrine Fighter, after all, the Peregrine Falcon is a specially designed fighter, not an attack aircraft, and its maneuverability is much better than that of a Boar, not to mention that it can fly at supersonic speeds.
When the leading guests came to the offline ceremony, they saw a beautiful peregrine fighter, which was really different.
Because this peregrine fighter, its nose is very pointed, and it really looks like a peregrine falcon from the side.
This supersonic fighter, a single-engine design, uses an air intake in the abdomen, and the main landing gear in the outer figure-of-eight, which looks like two sharp claws.
The cannons of the Peregrine Fighter are just below the belly, which is a double-barreled 23 mm cannon, although it is not as powerful as the 30 mm Gatling cannon of the Boar attack aircraft, but it is very easy to use to fight planes.
Because this is for fighter jets, not for ground armored targets, it has a smaller caliber, and it does not have a Gatling design, because it does not need to be as fast as the rate of fire, which is a double-barreled cannon, which takes up a lot less space, so that it can be installed under the air intake.
This kind of air intake, of course, is still a pitot tube type air intake, and the tail is an afterburner turbofan engine with a maximum military thrust of 50,000 N and afterburner thrust of 80,000 N.
The advanced afterburner turbofan engine is also the first in the world, so the leaders and guests are very curious about how this engine works and can produce more than eight tons of thrust.
After all, its core machine is the core engine of the non-afterburner turbofan engine of the Boar attack aircraft, so this is very versatile.
Just an afterburner was added, so the length of the engine also increased by more than a meter.
The engine tail nozzle, with its diffuser-convergent design, looks very unique.
The peregrine fighter adopts a double delta wing design, which can take into account the maneuverability of high-altitude and high-speed and low-altitude, so its interception ability is very strong and the maneuverability is also very good.
Of course, now it does not have an airborne fire control radar, it does not have missiles, and its main weapon is a cannon.
Airborne rockets can also be mounted to attack enemy aircraft or armored targets on the ground.
