When did an airplane pilot compare to a life-size gold pilot?
The answer is the supersonic era.
The aircraft currently used by the Aviation Administration at the civil level have a very low driving threshold. Even if some of them are equipped with radial engines, the top speed cannot exceed 440 kilometers per hour.
At a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour and flying at an altitude of about three thousand meters, the driver's visual pressure is very different from that of flying a glider.
Military aircraft have to deal with both air threats and ground targets at the same time. Attack operations are often performed at a lower flight altitude, which puts greater visual and reaction pressure on them. Every time the speed increases, this pressure will increase exponentially. .
The limit of human beings is about Mach 2 to 2.5. At this flight speed, simple eye movement will bring health risks. And above Mach 3, even for humans with hundreds of hours of flight experience, the effective visual range will approach Dotted.
The physical foundation of mixed-bloods is better, but limited to the Night Clan, the good ones are very limited. On average, they can only reach 1.1 to 1.4 times that of trained humans of the same size. The enhancement of universal enchantment system's fighting spirit makes it difficult to take into account the vision. and reaction level.
The upper limit of the safe emergency speed of the Xinglei's engine is 760 kilometers, which is more than 200 meters per second, which is already considered a subsonic speed range. For earth observation at this speed, the flight altitude is below 1,500 meters, and the visual pressure is already extremely high.
The 1,000-meter field-wide bombing, with the hit point only 3 meters away from the target, was accomplished by the best flight crew of the Air Force.
Of course, considering that Lightning Thunder is only for acceptance at this stage, the flight team only took a short time to adapt, and there is still room for improvement in the future.
At this stage, the pilot threshold issue that military generals are worried about is not a big problem. Subsonic speed has only reached the level of "not everyone can fly to the sky", not to the level of one in a million.
The limit still exists, and the flight altitude continues to decrease. At a certain altitude, the pilot will have to give up part of the speed advantage in exchange for more accurate visual intelligence.
It seemed necessary to bring Radar on board.
It's a pity that it's a false proposition again.
Radar is a detector based on electromagnetic waves. Not to mention the disappearance of electromagnetic waves in the exile, the radar's ability to detect living bodies is not good.
Radar does not have an imaging function. It can only read the direction and intensity of the source of reflected signal waves. There is a premise when it realizes target identification by detecting reflected waves. The target itself should be affected by electromagnetic effects. Basically, it is limited to metals and non-metals. There is an order of magnitude difference in signal strength readings compared to metals.
Even if a wooden-hulled plane the size of a wooden man is equipped with a propeller, its signal reflection intensity is not as strong as that of a van, not to mention that most of the demons are completely alive.
Radar is not good, but with the application of turboprops, the circuits of turbofans have been fully opened. Supersonic speed is a matter of time, and in supersonic flight state, it is completely unrealistic to require pilots to accurately identify targets at low altitudes, and they must have auxiliary identification capabilities. .
This thing can only be handed over to the magic side for the time being, because using a purely mechanical form involves too many industrial categories and the technical indicators are too high.
Using magic detection, you can limit the target to individuals with "large magic power reserves" or "with deployed magic shields." Although there are some means to block the display of magic power levels, as long as magic is enabled, there must be an abnormal concentration of magic power.
The detection feedback method should be helmet-mounted, allowing flight crew members to adjust the accuracy themselves, filter the target intensity range in the demon group, and achieve positioning.
Under certain detection breadth requirements, it is not easy for magic to realize such a function. It is probably also made into a screen display for airborne equipment.
I don’t know how long it will take to wait, but Lightning Lightning will most likely not be used.
The existing magic research capabilities that can be controlled by the government are mainly concentrated in the research institute and the magic academy. The two magic equipment factories of Hongshi and Pangxun are only equivalent to one of the first two institutions in terms of the number of magic personnel. The power of a medium task force.
Among the two major institutions, the academy has a certain aristocratic component and it is impossible for them to be exposed to military technology. It mainly serves the first and second students.
The magic side of the industry demands, and those that can actually produce results are relatively limited.
The mission of the institute is relatively heavy. In addition to the tearer cannons that are already in service and are being expanded in number, and the flash mines that are being verified, both of them also have some unfinished extended research projects, and there will be new generation equipment such as cannons and guns in the future. Need to be busy and. In addition, if there is a surplus of capacity, it will also be necessary to help Xincheng Heavy Industry and Blue Sky Heavy Industry upgrade their equipment.
These things are very important. The complexity and requirements of magic detection equipment for fighter aircraft are relatively high. It is estimated that they can only be developed together with the next generation aircraft.
The next generation of aircraft is still far away.
The length of the Thunderbolt reaches 17.2 meters, which is half longer than the 11.5 meters of the basic model of the Tornado 3. The take-off tonnage is even worse. However, it is positioned as a standard fighter. It may be a fighter-bomber model, but it will definitely not be a transport aircraft.
Of course, this generation of engines will still be used in transport aircraft to accumulate knowledge, technology and process foundation for subsequent larger aircraft.
It is not impossible to directly produce a turbofan, but from a development perspective, it is still easy to pull the hips if the step is too big.
The cycle from the start of research and development to the official service of a turboprop is about four years. Although it is always said that the body of a turboprop is a turbofan, the propeller accounts for 70% of the traction/thrust of the engine. In fact, it must be separated from the propeller power to create a thrust A larger turbofan engine with adequate reliability would not be any shorter.
In addition, there is an engine that jumps in line and is not allowed to go directly to the turbofan line.
This queue-jumping engine is the turboprop reconnaissance version.
This is the engine verification stage, what the receptionist of Blue Sky Heavy Industry told Wang Qi, is the way to realize a single-engine aircraft.
The second route of the vortex is a route with lower technical capabilities.
The engine used in lightning strikes is called a turboprop. In fact, a more accurate classification should be called a turbofan propeller. Except for the propeller and its transmission mechanism, the main body is the same as a turbofan engine, with internal and external ducts. The outer duct does not ignite. This part of the cold flow is output through the duct shaping and the inner duct wake, which will provide a certain amount of thrust. This is also the fundamental reason why the turbofan is more fuel-efficient than the turbojet.
As for the single-engine turboprop, as mentioned earlier, its only installation point can only be the nose, and the wake port must be above the nose side. In the corner of the cab observation surface, the position of the nozzle determines that it cannot output too much power. Motivation, otherwise something big will happen.
Starting from the demand and through theoretical calculations on paper, the second route of the turboprop was obtained, the turbojet propeller, which is a version of the engine body without an external duct.
I didn’t dare to set high goals at the beginning.
The engine project used in the Lightning Thunder is called Turboparticle One. The single product used in military test aircraft has a maximum single engine power of 3.3 megawatts. This is not the maximum power, but a military guaranteed power. The engine must be able to achieve this power and It won't go wrong for a while.
Derived from the idea of a single-engine aircraft, it is naturally called Turbojet 2. The expected power is 1.8 megawatts. The set value is almost half lower. It is still due to the problem of the tail nozzle. Even if the power is high, even if it goes around a few turns, it will It is difficult to ensure that the exhaust gas output from the nozzle does not affect flight.
As for why it must be a single engine... naturally, the aircraft is small, the production process volume and difficulty are lower, and the same production team can produce a single engine much faster.
On the demand side, the military also needs reconnaissance aircraft with less take-off and landing preparation work for daily reconnaissance. For visual reconnaissance work only, when the speed difference is not large, the size of the aircraft does not bring about changes in reconnaissance efficiency. , the weapons only need to be enough to leave the battlefield, there is no need for more.
The level of 1.8 MW is actually not low.
Even without considering the role of the magic lift system, a 750-kilowatt aircraft can already take off a 5-ton biplane. A 1080-kilowatt water-cooled machine with a 3-ton to 5-ton monoplane is capable of normal takeoff and landing.
When other functions and conditions remain unchanged, the 1.8 MW can be directly modified on the single-engine version of the Tornado III, and the speed can jump from 440 to over 500.
The planned model is expected to have a range of close to 600 kilometers.
However, in Wang Qi's view, Turboprop No. 2 has too narrow a purpose and lacks an external bypass, resulting in increased fuel consumption. It is not suitable for use in civil aviation. It is a waste of resources to specialize in developing an engine with only a few dozen units in demand.
Even if it may be considered for export as a light fighter in the future, it is still a bit far away. The radial engine version of the aircraft has not yet been sold.
But in the end, he approved the Turboprop II project, considering the cancellation of the military promotion of the radial engine series.
The use of radial engines for civilian transportation has come to an end. Under the background of floating islands, turboprops can use more than ten or twenty liters of fuel per minute. There are really a few aircraft that are willing to use them. When one is used, one must be specially equipped. Aircraft purchases fuel.
So the radial engine will have a long life cycle here until pure magic-powered aircraft reach the same speed level and become popular, without the need for military sales to accelerate clearance midway.
The main enemy of the exile is the demons after all, and it may also include the humans in the main world who are passing by the counter-attacking demons.
Under this premise, it is better to cut the leeks a few times to avoid cutting the roots of the leeks.
