If it is the confrontation with Tu-95, this is definitely not the first time. In the past, the two sides had been in close contact. However, when the two sides were at war, they did not realize how fast Tu-95 was flying.
Therefore, in NATO's analysis, the Tu-95 propeller can fly at a maximum speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour, which is already very good. However, who would have thought that this time it actually flew to more than 800 kilometers per hour.
If you want to imitate a jetliner, it must fly at a high speed. Nathan didn't lie about this, because the radar on the ground also recorded it, but this is incredible, so some people will still ask this question.
"Go ahead, Nathan, you can see most clearly in the air." Emily encouraged from the side.
Now, Nathan already knows the truth about talking less. He didn't intend to say anything, but now he has the most say, and he should say something.
"I observed very clearly in the air, when it was flying at high speed, the propeller was not fast." Nathan said.
For a propeller airplane, the faster the speed, the higher the propeller speed, and even the speed of the edge of the propeller will reach the speed of sound. This is the reason why the propeller airplane cannot fly fast. Where is the sound barrier waiting.
But now, Nathan says that the opponent is flying fast, but the speed of the propeller is not fast. What does this mean
Emily first thought: "That is to say, this is a pseudo-propeller. When it flies at a sufficient speed, the aircraft's power mainly comes from the jet engine. The propeller is just feathering, reducing drag?"
Emily was sent by the CIA and was also an expert in this area. How else would she come to host the exchange student work? And now, she quickly guessed it, which basically coincided with the facts.
Nathan admired this.
"Yes, this is also my guess. At low speeds, the use of propellers, and at high speeds, the use of jet propulsion combines the advantages of the two powers." Nathan said: "I also observed its tail spurting out. The trajectory of condensed water vapor formed by the heat wave in the air is a pity that mine does not have a camera."
One of the characteristics of jet engines is that at a suitable height, there will be a trajectory of condensation of water vapor along the way, which turns into a beautiful elongated white cloud in the air.
"This is too weird, right?" a pilot couldn't help but say.
What do you say in later generations? Poverty limits your imagination. During the Cold War, there were a lot of brainstorming ideas, and many of them were successfully converted into actual combat.
When it came to his lips, Nathan said unconsciously: "What is there? There are many similar ones. For example, in order to achieve high-speed flight, it is best to use a ramjet, but the ramjet does not work at low speeds. Then you can design a special turbine engine, which is a turbojet at low speed, and closes the front compressor at high speed, and blows the wind directly into the combustion chamber, which is a ramjet.
What Nathan was talking about was the principle of the SR-71 Blackbird engine. This was almost spoken out of the mouth, but after speaking it out, Nathan regretted it. No, in this era, the Blackbird is a secret project! These Air Force personnel in front of them, certainly no one knows.
Regardless of him, I just put forward the theory, and it is completely feasible in theory.
At this moment, Emily concealed her surprise. Now Nathan, as if there are countless mysteries, is waiting for her to solve it. Well, as an intelligence agent, I enjoy the decryption process the most.
Didn’t you say you'll see you at the bar tonight? Thinking of this, Emily was a little confused, even waiting for the evening to come.
Just then, outside, a signal soldier walked in.
"The transfer order from the Admiralty just now, Captain Nathan Scott and Lieutenant Steve Wien, immediately terminate the exchange of naval students, report to the Miramar Air Station in San Diego, California, and reorganize it into VF-124. Squadron."
The order came quickly.
Obviously, the high-ranking navy already knew what Nathan was doing here. He gave the Navy a long face and slapped the Air Force severely. Moreover, Nathan did have some unusual behaviors in this operation.
Emily on the side immediately knew what was going on.
After Nathan’s landing, General Richard must have reported the matter. Maybe, now the Air Force officials are arguing with the Navy’s executives. One request to suppress Nathan. He was too lawless and almost caused a world war. Ask for rewards to Nathan, bravery and technical proficiency, to get the medal!
In order to prevent Nathan from being wronged in the Air Force, the Navy simply transferred Nathan away!
It's a pity, I originally planned to have a good chat with Nathan tonight, this man gives people a feeling of heartbeat that hasn't appeared in a long time.
When hearing this news, the navy exchange students present immediately showed envy.
Miramar Air Station in San Diego, California, where everyone wants to go!
Just like Soviet pilots who want to fly MiG-25, American navy pilots can't wait to fly F-14 fighter jets!
Grumman’s F-14 fighter is a two-seater, two-engine, supersonic, multi-purpose carrier-based fighter jet developed by Grumman in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Navy for air defense and escort from the 1970s to the 1980s. It is used to replace the Navy. The F-4 "Ghost". Mainly perform fleet defense, interception, strike and reconnaissance tasks.
This is the world's first third-generation fighter to enter service! Its variable swept wing shape, its mighty majestic posture, and its powerful AWG-9 radar and Phoenix missiles are simply everyone's most eye-catching stars!
Development of this aircraft began at the end of 67. The prototype flew for the first time on December 21, 1970, and was delivered in May 1972. Hundreds of them are now equipped.
For naval aviation, being able to fly F-14 is the most fascinating thing, and this Miramar Air Station is a training base used to train F-14 fighter pilots and ground crew!
They are extremely envious of Nathan crew.
The second-generation ghosts, using backward turbojet engines, low thrust-to-weight ratio and weak radar performance, are simply not enough to dominate the sky in the future, and the F-14 fighter will be the king of the sky in the future!
Hearing this news, Nathan was also taken aback, F-14 fighter? The world's strongest carrier-based aircraft, even in later generations, can only be matched by the J-15. Unexpectedly, not long after being in this world, he would fly this powerful fighter
In the dark, my luck is really great! (End of this chapter)
