The GAU-12 'Balancer' 25mm five-barrel aerial cannon equipped on the F-35C carrier-based aircraft uses the newly developed high-energy incendiary bombs fired by it. The temperature generated during combustion can reach 1,100 degrees Celsius. .
Not only is it impossible to extinguish, but the temperature is extremely high!
For steel, 1100 degrees Celsius may be nothing, but for the non-metallic high-performance composite materials used in the Tiger Shark's body, it is completely fatal.
The advantages of non-metallic composite materials are increased strength and weight reduction, not resistance to high temperatures.
Around the two fire points on the left wing, the highly sensitive sensing components buried under the wing were all burned by the high-energy burning agent, and countless sparks emitted, affecting the nearby flaperon aerodynamic rudder surface and control structure, causing the aircraft to explode. It doesn't work properly.
In addition, the surrounding control lines belonging to the telex system were broken and damaged under the high temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius, and thick black smoke was emitted.
Although the control circuits of the telex system have been treated with fire protection, it is still of no avail in the face of extremely terrifying high-energy incendiary agents.
The fires at the three origins became more and more intense, and the affected area became wider and wider.
Give up, persist, choose one of the two.
At this moment, the joy of winning the battle with the two F-35Cs has been diluted, and everyone's attention is focused on the Tiger Shark.
"How to extinguish the fire?" Zhou Hai clenched the joystick with his right hand and tried to stabilize the J-15C Tiger Shark, which had lost some of its flight stability. He frowned slightly and thought secretly.
It is impossible to give up. As a genius, you will never give up your partner who carries you soaring into the blue sky until the last moment.
Give up easily?
Zhou Hai doesn't have this habit.
You must know that the J-15C carrier-based aircraft with nearly fourth-generation comprehensive performance costs at least 600 million people. In addition, the value of the No. 101 J-15C Tiger Shark lies not only in the expensive cost, but also in the combat data contained in the fighter itself!
This is combat data from close combat with two F-35Cs. Whether it is data about high-intensity electromagnetic attacks or data about Zhou Hai performing a series of large overload maneuvers, these things are things that can be encountered but cannot be sought. It can be called a treasure of heaven and earth, and its value is inestimable. .
How valuable is actual combat data with the F-35C?
Zhou Hai would never give up unless he had to.
In addition, if he chooses to give up, he will fall into the sea below after ejecting.
In this sea area, there is the Forest, an F-35C that crashed into the sea, a fighter pilot who ejected and escaped, and a Seawolf that can be called the top war killing weapon.
Once the escape ejection falls into the sea, Zhou Hai is likely to fall into a captured situation. Don't look at the sea wolf that was chased before and ran away. In fact, this is the advantage of dimensionality reduction based on the air-to-sea strike.
If they are both at sea, the sea wolf will use the most cruel and effective means to tear apart all enemies.
But if he wants to save the tiger shark underneath him, he cannot ignore the cruel reality - he lacks the means to effectively put out the fire!
Extinguishing!
This is the key point to save the J-15C Tiger Shark.
However, Zhou Hai's existing fire-fighting methods have all failed.
Needless to say, the onboard fire-extinguishing system was completely useless against the fire at three origins.
The most traditional and primitive method of diving to extinguish fires in the aviation industry is a good idea, but it is actually useless. The current altitude is 500 meters, and a hammer dive is used.
In addition, there is another way left, which is to fly a plane to an altitude of 10,000 meters and take advantage of the thin oxygen and low temperature at high altitudes to extinguish the fire.
However, let alone climbing to an altitude of 10,000 meters, Zhou Hai estimated that the entire J-15C Tiger Shark's telex system would completely fail if it climbed to an altitude of 3,000 meters.
Of course, there is another way in theory. Zhou Hai opened the hatch cover, stood in the cockpit, held a fire extinguisher, and put out the fire on the left wing.
As for the possibility of this approach...
Zhou Hai can do it, but the probability of being able to put out the fire is zero.
"How to extinguish the fire..." Warnings from the Changbaishan avionics system continued in the cockpit. The countdown to the failure of the telex system had reached forty seconds. The flight status of the J-15C Tiger Shark beneath him became increasingly chaotic. Zhou Hai tried his best to maintain Fighter stability, constantly thinking about solutions.
How to put out a fire!
The whole person's mind is running at high speed, searching for memories, searching for all the measures for aviation fire extinguishing, extracting them and rejecting them one by one. For the J-15C Tiger Shark currently in flight, all the existing aviation fire extinguishing measures are completely useless. .
Zhou Hai did not lose heart and continued to think. At this time, a ball of flame suddenly burst out from the fire point on the left wing, and several irregular high-temperature metal parts shot out like bullets and flew around.
Immediately afterwards, a strong vibration came. The J-15C Tiger Shark fuselage, which had been burned by the flames, trembled violently. The cockpit showed that the left wing fuel supply pipeline was burned, and the aviation fuel volatilized in contact with oxygen. Under the action of high temperature, it produced what is called Catastrophic deflagration.
For today's J-15C Tiger Shark, the deflagration caused by the leakage of the fuel supply pipeline is simply a catastrophic blow.
In an instant, the Tiger Shark, which was already in an unstable flight state, was affected by the deflagration impact from the left wing. While the fuselage was shaking at high frequency, the nose and fuselage were uncontrollably deflected and flipped to the right.
If the angle between the nose and the fuselage is greater than 45 degrees, it means that the Tiger Shark is completely out of control!
Zhou Hai looked solemn and immediately shut down the fuel supply to the left wing fuel supply pipeline. He held the joystick tightly with his right hand and tried his best to stabilize the fighter that was about to lose control completely. He pushed up the throttle valve with his left hand and turned on the maximum afterburner mode of the engine.
It's raining all night, the telex system is about to fail, and the fighter plane is almost out of control.
Whether it is the former or the latter, in the final analysis the situation is exactly the same - falling into the sea.
"Boom!" The two WS-10C 'Taihang' vector turbofan engines entered the afterburner state, the serrated tail nozzles converged, and the injection angle was 15 degrees to the right, giving the fuselage lateral vector thrust from the right side. The coupled canards prevented the fuselage from continuing to deflect to the right and slowly returned to a level flight angle.
With Zhou Hai's methodical control, Tiger Shark No. 101, which was on the verge of completely losing control, was finally pulled back.
"Huh..." Feeling that the cockpit returned to a horizontal angle, Zhou Hai let out a breath of turbid air, feeling relaxed and feeling okay.
Zhou Hai now feels like an emergency doctor rescuing a critically ill patient. He is fully focused and cannot tolerate any slack.
The out-of-control Tiger Shark No. 101 returned to level flight, which was not good news. However, there were 39 seconds left before the fly-by-wire flight control system completely failed.
In addition, there is a larger untimed bomb hidden in the area on the left wing that explodes due to high temperature, and may explode at any time.
awful!
At this moment, the overall situation of the J-15C Tiger Shark can only be described as miserable.
But that's not even the worst of it.
"Beep!" In a blink of an eye, before Zhou Hai could react, the main HUD showed another bad situation, fuel shortage!
The remaining amount of onboard fuel has reached the minimum safety warning line, and the comprehensive cruising range is still 350 kilometers.
At the critical moment, there was no fuel.
