Maneuvering can be traced back to the jump and inversion of small propeller aircraft. Its tactical advantages and actual combat value are very high. It has high angular speed, small turning radius, and balanced energy budget. It has great advantages in close combat. "
The loud words spread around and entered everyone's ears.
Zhou Hai, who stood on the far left side of the team, concentrated his attention on Lin Jian and listened silently.
Zhou Hai could recite the theoretical knowledge of Herbst's maneuver, its air flow process and distribution, and the changes in the attitude of the fighter aircraft.
But when it comes to the specific operation, detailed relevant steps, and practical aspects such as adjusting the body's state, I know nothing about it. I am just a novice.
This is just like an ordinary driver watching a Formula 1 car, understanding the principles, and knowing the process of the event by heart. However, without professional training, wanting to drive Formula 1 on the track is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Now, study hard.
"However, the Herbst maneuver was first performed on a jet aircraft in 1993 by a German test pilot flying an X-31 test aircraft. The main reason is that this maneuver is extremely difficult and has strict requirements on aircraft performance and pilot skills , I think this maneuver ranks first in difficulty and practicality among the types of over-stall maneuvers."
The heat wave was undulating. Lin Jian, standing in front of the team, stared at the crowd and elaborated:
"The main feature of this maneuver is that under high angle of attack and high sideslip angle, the maneuverability of the yaw axis and the stability of the roll axis must be maintained. Under normal circumstances, the aerodynamic rudder surface in this state has already lost its aerodynamic effect. Generally, Implementing this maneuver requires the use of thrust vectoring technology, which has particularly strict requirements on airframe performance."
The Herbst maneuver is not as sensational as the Cobra maneuver that symbolizes the Su-27 family series, but in the field of close air combat maneuvers, it is the undisputed king, the most difficult pinnacle to climb, and a top technology that countless pilots are flocking to.
In the last century, when a German test pilot flew the US military's X-31 test aircraft using thrust vectoring technology for the first time and performed the Herbst maneuver, it caused huge waves in the aviation industry.
The Cobra maneuver is just beautiful and very ornamental, but has low practicality, while the Herbst maneuver is completely different. It is a top-level sure-kill move and has great advantages in close combat.
Fighters that are capable of executing the Herbst maneuver are pitted against fighters that are not capable of executing it. The latter is at an absolute disadvantage and cannot even fight back.
At this time, everyone was silent after hearing what Lin Jian explained, trying to remember the relevant key knowledge.
Of course, there are still some students who have doubts.
Since the Herbst maneuver, which is classified as a stall maneuver, needs to be carried out by an aircraft with thrust vector technology, the question arises. It seems that the Quzhou base does not have a fighter aircraft equipped with a vector engine, right?
"I know your doubts. The detailed introduction and operation steps of the Herbst maneuver have been passed on to you. Although it is extremely difficult, some fighters can use pure aerodynamic methods to use high-angle-of-attack aileron deviation and The Herbst maneuver is performed with an asymmetric fuselage.”
Looking at everyone's gaze, Lin Jian's face was calm, his back straight, he picked up the tactical tablet in his hand, clicked on the screen to send the data, his voice was steady: "For example, the US Super Hornet fighter and the L-15C Falcon, this maneuver is currently a special type. The newly established training subjects are not required for all students to master, but I hope you will understand and master them well."
The purely pneumatic layout method, which was originally explored and researched by the US military at the cost of blood and lives, can be said to be a new approach.
Shape the mobility legend of the f/a-18e/f 'Super Hornet' without paying the high price of thrust vectoring technology.
Well, then this conclusion was used by people in the aviation field to create the L-15c Falcon.
Based on the comprehensive air combat training in the higher education aircraft stage, it was the arrival of the L-15C Falcon that the training course on Herbst maneuvers was opened for the first time. In the past Shanying higher education era and the L-15a Falcon era, it was still Ban status.
Even the original L-15A Falcon does not yet meet such requirements.
The Shanying Higher Education was greatly optimized and improved from the JJ-7, but its aerodynamic layout and airframe performance could not meet the requirements.
What is the basis for the implementation of the Herbst maneuver?
Under high angle of attack and high sideslip angle, the maneuverability of the yaw axis and the stability of the roll axis are maintained. ——This is a technical requirement that makes Shanying desperate. Let alone Shanying B, even if there are a lot of improved models such as Shanying C, Shanying D, Shanying E, etc., as long as the aerodynamic layout is not completely modified and the Herb Steady mobility is always a luxury.
Of course, the Shanying has been completely out of breath under the strong pressure of the Falcon series. In the next thirty years, the field of domestic higher education aircraft will be in the Falcon era.
All the students who gathered in formation fell into deep thought after hearing this. Some of them couldn't wait to open their tactical tablets and study the relevant details of Herbst's maneuver.
This maneuver is more attractive than the Cobra maneuver, and successfully mastering it means that one's combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
"Mobile training is a single-aircraft training, and the training area is the base airspace. The former L-15c Falcon students have priority in learning, and the L-15a Falcon model students are deferred. You can read the information for yourself, Zhou Hai, I will give you details next. Please explain, are you ready?" Lin Jian paid no attention to the crowd and turned his attention to Zhou Hai at the front, the first student in the special training.
Zhou Hai puffed out his chest and said with a serious face: "Report, I'm ready!"
He had never thought that the L-15C Falcon he was driving, the eldest wife he was most familiar with, had the ability and secret to perform the Herbst maneuver purely aerodynamically.
Unexpected!
"Okay, board the plane, and the rest of the students will disperse." Lin Jian nodded, and after giving the order, turned to face the J-10a aircraft that had been prepared in the front row.
Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of all the students, Zhou Hai turned left and walked towards the No. 31 apron.
After the intensive work of the ground team, the No. 109 L-15C Falcon was filled with fuel and in perfect condition. The whole person wrote his name in the aviation sign-in log and boarded the cockpit.
Figure, isolated.
Proud and upright.
The Herbst maneuver is the cornerstone of becoming a top pilot, a cutting-edge technology that must be mastered.
Excluding models with thrust vectoring technology and fourth-generation fighter jets, among the third-generation conventional aircraft, there is only the US military F-18EF Super Hornet in the world, and every pilot is a cutting-edge pilot.
In the world, only Huaxia allows pilot students in the higher education aircraft stage to contact and learn Herbst maneuvers. This is the only one, and there is no semicolon.
ps: Also, my gastroenteritis is a little better, so I don’t dare to ask for a monthly ticket before the third watch.
