Chapter 387: Take a look on the Invincible

Views:

It is not shameful for pilots to use diapers. In some long voyages, many people will choose to use diapers as a magic weapon.

Otherwise, in the cabin of the fighter, hold it for a few hours to try

And Emily, it doesn't matter if you say so with Nathan, because the two are so close anyway.

At this moment, the buildings with shadows can already be seen in front of him, and Nathan lowered the height and contacted the opponent's tower.

This is the first time that the Tomcat fighter has flown to Britain. At this time, at the airport, a large group of people were watching here.

Admiral John did not come, he still had a lot to do, and at Plymouth Naval Port, Wuhuad had been waiting for a long time.

"Come, here!" In the crowd, someone cheered constantly.

Lieutenant Clive, he was very excited to invite Nathan’s naval carrier-based pilot for the first time. Now, the Navy’s plan to purchase Tomcats is steadily advancing. Once the budget is approved, he will also I will fly to the United States and fly a Tomcat fighter jet.

Think about what you expected back then, but now, the dream is about to come true, thanks to the Soviets' jump, let everyone realize that the war is coming.

The Cold War has lasted for so many years. The actions of the Soviets are deeply stimulating everyone’s nerves. For them, the Cold War seems to be transformed into a hot war at any time, and the British navy, which has been struggling for so many years, will finally have It's in the early days.

They are not afraid of war. When they are soldiers, they are prepared for war, and only war can show their own value. If peace continues, then the British navy will probably become a coastal garrison.

The Tomcat spread its wings and landed steadily on the runway. Lieutenant Clive had already ran up.

"Major Nathan, welcome to Portsmouth." Lieutenant Clive greeted him and looked at the cockpit of the plane. The two slowly walked down the ladder. The pilot behind looked so beautiful. Although she was wearing a flying helmet, her hair was still showing a lot from behind, she was a beautiful girl!

Emily finally took off the helmet, let out a long breath, and then shook her hair. This action seemed so alluring, and immediately made the old men in the base feel excited.

"Lieutenant Colonel Emily, my partner, come here with me this time." Nathan introduced to everyone. At the same time, he also saw Lieutenant Clive.

Major General Wuhuad was quietly behind, watching Nathan come down: "It's been a long way, it's hard work, let's officially start tomorrow."

"No, while it's still dark, I want to go and have a look on the Invincible." Nathan said.

Before landing, Nathan had seen an aircraft carrier berthed in the port of Portsmouth. Needless to say, it must be a new generation of British invincible class aircraft carrier.

This warship was originally intended to carry helicopters and Harriers. Now, can it carry Tomcat fighters

All the data is useless, Nathan wants to go up and take a look.

"Okay, let's go take a look together." Wu Huade said.

In any case, the Invincible is still a new warship built by the British Navy. This warship is a manifestation of a powerful navy. It is better than operating an aircraft carrier during World War II, right

The crowd walked towards the Invincible, and Emily could finally make time to go to the bathroom.

I blame myself for being greedy. I ate so much before getting on the plane. Who would have thought that Nathan would invite himself to board that fighter jet before taking off? Obviously knowing that he would not refuse, did he deliberately

Forget it, let's solve it first, although that thing works, but it takes a long time and is uncomfortable.

Nathan is okay, he cares more about Invincible.

At this time, in Portsmouth, the Invincible was docking quietly. As a surface ship of the powerful British navy, it seemed to reflect that the British navy was dying.

At this time, the sun was shining on the ground, and the golden sunlight filled the sea and shining on the aircraft carrier. Accompanied by everyone, Nathan stepped on the deck of the Invincible for the first time.

"In order to take off and land the Tomcat, we modified this aircraft carrier." Wu Huade said: "At the back, three blocking cables were added. In the middle, the original flame shield was strengthened. The entire take-off line is 167 long. Meter."

You don’t need anything to take off on the ground, but if you take off on an aircraft carrier, you need a baffle behind the aircraft to block the tail flames. This is the flame baffle.

When the jet engine of the plane is running, it is quite dangerous to be behind the plane. The hot wake jet will scorch everything behind.

Generally speaking, for a jet engine at a static low speed, the tail jet danger zone is about 150 meters, and the takeoff roll state is as high as 600 meters.

The deck area of the aircraft carrier is very small and frequent personnel exchanges may cause accidental injuries. In order to protect these carrier aircraft and deck operators, gas guide plates must be used to spray the gas upward into the sky, otherwise The high-temperature and high-speed gas flow emitted by the jet carrier aircraft is surprisingly "lethal".

Therefore, the flame shields are placed obliquely.

Although the Invincible was originally intended to take off and land in the Harrier style, the Harrier style could take off and land vertically, but at that time, the fuel consumption was too large, so under normal circumstances, it used a short taxi to take off.

Leave 167 meters for its take-off line, which is definitely a lot. Anyway, the Harrier landed vertically, leaving a deck behind to land.

Nathan nodded: "If our take-off line is only 100 meters, then we can leave plenty of space for the next landing."

Because the deck is too small, if you take off here, you can’t land behind.

As long as it is an angled deck, it is impossible to take off and land at the same time, but now the take-off area and the landing area overlap, which is quite detrimental to the operation of the deck.

So, Nathan came up with it, just leave a hundred meters is enough!

One hundred meters? Hearing Nathan's words, everyone present was taken aback, and they were afraid that the 167 meters were not enough. Now, Nathan just said one hundred meters is enough

In fact, if compared with later generations, 100 meters is really the same, just look at the Liaoning number.

The Liaoning has two take-off lines, 105 meters short and 195 meters long. So there are some sayings that the carrier-based aircraft cannot take off with full load on the Liaoning. It is actually wrong. If it is a short-range mission, fill it with half fuel If it is not, then take off from the 105-meter take-off point, if it is a long-range mission, then take off from the 195-meter take-off point full of fuel and bombs.

However, this takes off entirely on its own power. The longer this line is, the greater the deviation from the normal take-off line during take-off. If the crosswind is too large, it may fall in the middle of the flight.

In short, the F-15 can do it, and the Tomcat fighter can also do it. Although the engine is not powerful, the Tomcat fighter has the advantage of variable swept wings! (End of this chapter)
