Three sparrow missiles, hundreds of thousands of dollars, just like this.
Seeing that the opponent had climbed to 22,000 meters on the radar screen, Lieutenant Gus knew that his missile was impossible to hit. Sure enough, after his missile climbed to the same height, the speed was already very low. The aerodynamic efficiency of the face is very low, and it can't keep up with the opponent's rhythm at all.
Although the trajectories intersect, they still have no choice but to blew themselves up.
As for the radar in the nose of one's own side, the antenna has reached the highest elevation angle, and I can only watch the other side disappear from the screen.
Damn it!
In the front cockpit, Nathan raised his neck and looked at the fighter plane that was flying at high speed. In front of him, the fighter plane swerved.
Yes, after avoiding the attack of the three missiles, Andre was about to return home. He pulled the rod and kicked the rudder, and made a turn with a radius of several kilometers at an altitude of 23,000 meters.
At this moment, he was in front of Nathan, turning arrogantly, and Nathan could only watch, but could not pose any threat to him.
Nathan still has two Sidewinder missiles, but now, he can't reach the other side and can only watch the other side show off in front of his own eyes.
How to do
Do you just let the other party go back like this, and let the other party slip away
of course not!
Nathan must give it a go!
Nathan's hand was pressed on the switch. As he toggled the switch, a violent push came from his back. The two TF41 engines at the tail were again turned on by Nathan for afterburner.
Nathan pulled up the joystick and began to climb upwards.
When the fighter is powered on, the onboard computer knows that Nathan is about to sprint, so the wings are ready to sweep backwards. This is completely controlled automatically and generally does not require manual intervention.
However, now Nathan has manually intervened to set the wings of the Tomcat fighter in the unfolded state.
As a result, the Tomcat fighter with its wings spread began to jump upwards!
When he saw this scene, Gus in the back cabin knew what Nathan was going to do. Following Nathan, miracles have always happened!
And now this miracle, Gus can only watch, and at the same time, he feels a little nervous.
Who can not be nervous
As a submarine soldier, the submarine could dive to three hundred meters. As a result, the captain made a barbaric operation and dived to five hundred meters. He would be squeezed into canned meat at any time. Are you afraid
A fighter plane can only climb to 20,000 meters. Now, if you want to climb to 23,000 meters, the plane will stall and crash at any time because it is flying on the ceiling. Are you afraid
If you say you are not afraid, it is false, but only the bravest can be the radar officer of Major Nathan, Lieutenant Gus, and you will never be afraid!
Yes, Lieutenant Gus comforted himself like this, while looking at the appearance in front of him.
Although the rear seat is the position of the radar officer, there are mainly two display screens, but there are still some basic instruments on the rear seat for reading flight data, such as altimeters, speedometers and other instruments, in case the front instruments fail Yes, he at least has a backup here.
Now, the pointer of the altimeter in front of him was constantly turning, and the height was getting higher and higher.
If an airplane wants to increase its altitude, it must climb, and as the altitude of the airplane gradually increases, the outside air pressure and oxygen concentration will decrease with the increase in altitude, which will affect the intake of the engine and the thrust of the engine will also decrease. . When a certain altitude is reached, the thrust provided by the airplane can no longer allow the airplane to continue to climb, so it can only maintain level flight. This altitude is the ceiling of the airplane.
Judging from this definition, it seems that no aircraft can fly above the ceiling. Without thrust, where does the increase come from
However, this ceiling can also be preceded by a word, which is called the static ceiling.
If there is no other way for the aircraft to maintain this altitude, it is the static ceiling, which corresponds to the static ceiling, that is the dynamic ceiling. Simply put, it is to exchange speed for altitude!
To put it simply, throwing stones into the sky, the speed is getting lower and lower, and the height is getting higher and higher. When the speed is reduced to zero, the height is the highest.
This set of tactics is the only choice when dealing with planes flying higher than oneself.
However, the application of this set of tactics is very risky. When flying to the highest point, the speed is zero. If the operation is improper, the most terrible stall spin will follow.
Now, Nathan is not afraid, nor can he care so much. He maximizes the power of the Tomcat fighter and then climbs up. For him, the trajectory of the jump is the most critical. He only has one chance, he must Hold it!
The Tomcat fighter roared and continued to climb upwards driven by the two engines at the tail, but as the altitude increased, it began to struggle.
The TF41 engine was panting hard and kept trying hard, but the speed of the aircraft could not be increased any more, on the contrary, it was still decreasing!
At this time, the altitude of the aircraft has exceeded 20,000 meters.
The wings are unfolded in order to obtain more lift. At this time, the Tomcat fighter continues to climb along a smooth curve, while climbing, while the speed is decreasing.
Nathan's hand is operating the fire control system quickly, and his nose is pointed at the MiG-25 fighter that is turning in a large radius. When he climbs up, the opponent should have completed one hundred and eighty degrees. The turn of the person, just aiming at yourself, this is the opportunity!
Nathan was leaping upwards, working hard beyond the ceiling. At the same time, Andre operated the fighter plane and turned in the horizontal plane. His speed also fell due to the turning. At the same time, his height also dropped slightly.
Colonel Fedotov in the rear cabin was sitting in the gloomy back seat.
Different from the large two-seater of American fighters, the rear cockpit of the Super MiG-25 is relatively small, with a small cockpit cover, and in order to provide a dark environment for the radar screen to see more clearly, the glass on the cockpit is also Very small.
Inside, it's almost the same as escape from a play room, and the glass around it is almost like a skylight.
But just a glimpse in this narrow opening, Fedotov saw something.
"The Americans want to climb up!" Fedotov shouted: "They haven't given up on attacking us!"
Without Fedotov's glimpse, Andrei would not have noticed. After all, the opponent appeared in his field of vision for a moment, and then was blocked by the fuselage because of the steering.
This is the advantage of the two-seater fighter, which can have an extra pair of eyes.
Now, when he heard Fedotov's reminder, Andrei knew what had happened. The Americans didn't give up. They actually climbed up, and when they climbed up, they just exploded their own sex! (End of this chapter)
