293 Visiting maintainers
Bilworth did not come by himself. In fact, he came with a US military visiting delegation. After China and the United States formed a substantial alliance, such military visits were basically conducted two or three times a year to promote mutual trust and cooperation.
Although the war against Taiwan at the beginning of the year made the United States not very happy, China later gave the United States support in arms sales and joint mine clearance operations and other incidents, so the two sides generally maintained a healthy relationship.
During this event, because we have to respond to the last time that the US military opened the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine for senior pLA officials, this time the military also opened the 09-type attack nuclear submarine for the United States to "view". The Americans were complacent and thought they used an old product.
In exchange for new products from the Chinese, I don’t know that the Chinese are also laughing at American idiots, because in addition to the eight 09-, the main attack nuclear submarines of the Navy are already 2 096 types.
Of course, the US Navy professionals who visited the nuclear submarines could not visit all nuclear submarine sections. However, with a sarcastic vision, they still commented: "This class of nuclear submarine is still well made by China, which is generally the same level as the Los Angeles class. If it is true
As they said, if the noise is only about 20 decibels, the combat capability should be stronger than that of the Los Angeles class."
The real situation is that the noise of 09- is only 110 decibels, which is much stronger than the 2B decibels Los Angeles class. The Los Angeles class is still being manufactured in the United States, and it has been built until 3 years. It has built as many as 62 ships, spanning two in front and back.
After ten years, the gap in technical level is actually quite large. Although the newly-sold Los Angeles-level team is not as sharp as 09-, it will not be much worse.
The Chinese military did not tell the Americans how many 09Bs they had. In fact, the Americans did not tell the Chinese how many nuclear submarines they had. Compared with things like takeoff and tanks, nuclear submarines themselves have higher confidentiality. If the Chinese don't say it, the United States
People won't ask in depth, because it probably won't be true after asking.
After Bilworth communicated with Qi Yiming, he returned to this military visiting regiment and persuaded several senior military officials to go to a military airport in Shandong to visit the new attack aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, and the strong maintenance officer.
.This itinerary did not exist, and it is naturally impossible to arrange a visit as a new type of equipment. However, Bilworth is committed to promoting cooperation with China to develop and produce this type of attack aircraft, and Qi Yiming also felt that there was room for operation.
He then told the Air Force to allow them to visit a striking regiment.
Since the Taiwan War at the beginning of the year, the Air Force has added some new understanding of strong defenders. The Air Force's ground combat has always emphasized combat bombing or multi-purpose routes, that is, fighter jets need considerable fighting capabilities, and at the same time
It has excellent impact on the ground and sea. Even the previous strong is actually the route of the fighter bomber, but it is divided into the attacking aircraft.
The emergence of strong gives the Air Force a new perspective. The bomb load capacity of this attack aircraft is almost a H-6K at extreme times and has unexpectedly applied battlefields. Several strong aircraft have occurred in the farmland of Taiwan during the battle.
The Navy also had L fighter jets like J-V, but it was already two different things to show VTOL.
Although the maintainer will still waste a lot of fuel during vertical take-off and landing, even if it takes-off and land vertically, the fighter can carry seven or eight tons of weapons to fight for several hours in the sky, fly more than 106 kilometers away, and carry a secondary fuel tank.
The transition range is more than 26 kilometers. It can be said that the airport takeoff capability of the maintainer itself is not the main method of use at all. The maintenance is the specialty of the maintenance.
After the attack, it can replenish it with the help of the navy's landing ship, and then enter the battle again. It can also land on the temporary supply points on the front line of the battlefield. As long as it is slightly flattering, it will not pick on it. This means deploying such aircraft
There is no need for an airport, which greatly improves the air force's activity space.
Therefore, the Air Force hopes that relevant enterprises and research institutes will conduct similar VTOL designs for fighters and develop a fighter similar to those similar to those of strong and vertical take-off and landing. However, Qi Yiming only smiled bitterly after learning about it, and the maintainer could
Perpendicular take-off and landing are equipped with four vector engines. If ordinary fighter aircraft are installed in this way, the aerodynamics will inevitably be destroyed. The base produces VTOL engines, but if they are really made by ordinary companies, they will be damaged.
, the cost of one is no less than that of a -10G engine, and the price of four is equal to half a J-10.
It can be said that the biggest highlight of the maintainer is reflected in this VTOL engine.
The US military visiting delegation was led by the Chinese military to this military airport. In order to welcome the inspection, two rows of maintainer attack aircraft had already been placed on the runway.
"It's really weird, even more weird than the A10." A US Air Force colonel joked.
The attack aircraft in front of them is much larger than the ordinary attack aircraft. If this is a bomber, some people would probably believe it. This attack aircraft is 2 meters long, with a wide and flat fuselage and has polygonal surfaces, which is obviously for reflection.
The radar wave, from the following website, the body is very flat, which is good for stealth. The pair of wings are also a bit strange. The most eye-catching thing is that it has a relatively large wing area, which is obviously to increase lift. This wing is
The attack aircraft does not have a tailgate like a transport aircraft. The soldiers in the cabin need to open a cabin door under the fuselage and climb a ladder to go out. This part can also be replaced with a built-in ammunition compartment, which can hold three to four tons of weapons.
A brigade general of the Marine Corps climbed into the cabin from the gangway and frowned and said, "The space is a bit cramped. If the soldiers stayed here, they wouldn't feel comfortable."
The Chinese Air Force's entourage will not explain. In fact, the Air Force rarely uses this inner cabin to carry soldiers. Some of them even think that designing such a cargo hold is unnecessary.
Bilworth wanted to do business, he couldn't help but explain, he hurriedly said: "You see, this model is actually designed mainly for their Air Force, mainly for the installation of light cargo and ammunition, but they
Leave enough redundant space, and if one improvement is made, it can increase the volume of this inner cabin."
Qi Yiming was also in the team. He had asked the Red Alert Engineers and Bases specifically about technology and improvements. At this moment, he said: "The power is not a problem. If you want to emphasize the carrying capacity of this model, there is
Several different options are because there are more complex electronic devices on the machine to assist in ground attacks, so they occupy more space. If you use it as a troop transport tool, then these things can be removed. Or simply on this machine
To make improvements, we can moderately increase the width and height of the body, so as to design a more comfortable and efficient cargo hold, which can roughly double the capacity. There is no problem with transporting 12 soldiers, but of course it will still be relatively cramped, and this cannot be changed.
.”
The Marine Brigadier raised his eyebrows and said, "Are two people? It's a lot. If we can retain our current attack ability, it's better to keep it. We need more than just a troop transport aircraft."
The main L fighter of the US Marine Corps is -B originally thought it was good, but since the Chinese started using P, they felt that -B was unappreciated, and basically all data and capabilities were inferior to Chinese products. Therefore, the Marine Corps believed that
In the field of L, Chinese people are more experienced. So now China has come up with a new VTOL attack aircraft. The Marines believe that this is an epoch-making model similar to the 2 Osprey they are planning, and they have a strong interest.
, otherwise Bilworth wouldn't have threaded a needle through it.
Bilworth also instigated a general from the US Navy to say: "Sir, you see, this aircraft itself has considered many stealth designs, and its designs are much more mature than the A2, although some are not as complete as any place.
, but this is a platform that has been in practice, and it is doubtful whether A2 can fly in the end. We can add more stealth elements to improve the performance of their bullet cabin based on this platform. In addition,
Although this is an aircraft with four engines, the aerodynamic layout is still relatively traditional. Compared with the A2, which basically does not have air combat capabilities, this aircraft will definitely not be worse than the A6."
Qi Yiming also added: "Four vector engines will give this type of attack aircraft a more unique flight mode, and our air force is still exploring it, but it is certain that although it is larger than the invader, it is flexible.
It won't be bad."
A Red Alert pilot then operated a maintainer attack aircraft to take off vertically to perform a flight for the visiting delegation. At this time, the Americans had never seen any examples of fixed-wing aircraft being able to take off vertically. Although it was claimed to be able to do it, it would definitely not
If you do this, the failure rate is also very high.
I saw that this somewhat fat attack aircraft slowly rose to a certain height under the push of four downward jet engines. Then the engine that could change the direction slowly changed the direction of the nozzle, and the plane immediately flew.
After landing, the plane accelerated and quickly passed through the sky.
A U.S. Navy colonel asked: "How fast can it reach the fastest?"
Qi Yiming replied: "Above 0 chapters."
The Marine Corps' brigadier's eyes lit up and said, "It's basically more than twice the speed of the rotorcraft.
The attack plane hovered in the sky, turned sideways and then turned, and looked no different from an ordinary plane, nor was it as clumsy as imagined. Instead, it made people feel a bit abnormally keen. In terms of its size.
Climbing, rolling, diving, and drum rolling are all done very beautifully, which also proves that this platform is indeed a mature platform. Later, the attack aircraft with built-in ammunition compartment demonstrated the ground-based air strike.
