Chapter 803 Simple and Rude Solution
When Zhou Qingfeng considered his own carrier-based aircraft, he immediately ruled out jet aircraft. Not to mention the blankness in technology and personnel, the consumption of a few tons of fuel just for one flight can completely bankrupt him who only has a small oil refinery.
Propeller-powered aircraft with piston engines became the only option. But... there aren't many options.
The first thing to consider is Embraer's proud "Super Tucano", which is a rare propeller fighter in the jet age, and its airborne weapons and equipment are quite advanced. The "Aurora Legion" that controls Embraer has acquired quite a few of these aircraft.
But this aircraft has a huge flaw-the take-off and landing distances are more than 300 meters, and it cannot be used on an aircraft carrier without using ejection and blocking technologies. But even if ejection and blocking techniques are used, the body that has not been specially strengthened will be completely torn apart.
so..., pass!
Zhou Qingfeng considered going back to the real world to refit the 6th Elementary School, but the power of the trainer was too small, the speed was slow, and the take-off and landing distance was more than 300 meters, just like the 'Super Toucan', pass.
Is it possible that I want to use modified Yunwu?
The Yun-5 is a biplane with a short take-off and landing distance, less than two hundred meters. It can take off and land on the "Kennedy" without any ejection blocking. But the Yun-5 is a transport plane with a cruising speed of only 160. Does it go out to make a turkey?
I can't use modern aircraft, I can always use carrier-based aircraft from World War II!
f6f 'hellcat' and f4u 'corsair' are both a temporary choice, these two aircraft were originally US imperialist carrier aircraft, they can also take off from the aircraft carrier without using the catapult, but they need arresting wires to land . The most troublesome thing is where can Zhou Qingfeng find these two antique planes?
"You want us to help you find the carrier-based aircraft produced by the Americans during World War II? You also have to figure out how to land with or without arresting wires?" Xiao Jinlang knew that Zhou Qingfeng's requests every time were very strange. Everything is there, and the sincerity of antique carrier-based aircraft is nothing.
But the problem is that there is no such thing in China!
"Actually, I just want a propeller-based carrier-based fighter that can be used on an aircraft carrier. There should be more than a dozen of them. But I need to actually fly an aircraft carrier. Naturally, the No. 16 fisherman The government ship cooperated."
Zhou Qingfeng made his request as clear as possible, Xiao Jinlang recorded it seriously, and then reported it to his superiors. Naturally, this situation was first heard by the generals of the navy and the aviation crew, and everyone said: Is this the request made by the teaser?
But the higher-ups ordered to study this issue, so naturally it will be studied. The results of the research were soon placed in front of Zhou Qingfeng - it doesn't matter if you want f6f or f4u.
The Americans produced a lot of these two aircrafts. Although decades have passed, there are still many military museum collections abroad, but are you sure you want to buy them?
Why do you want to ask such a question? Because it is very expensive, it is not ordinary expensive!
It is a collectible with special meaning and value.
The reason for the navy to answer this way is that they don’t know who raised the question, and they just want to present the difficulties so that the brain-opening teaser can dispel this strange idea.
Well, not low-value items, which cannot be shipped, or which can only be passed.
God! What should we do? Lao Zikong has the most powerful aircraft carrier in the world,
There is no suitable carrier aircraft. Saying this, the Navy, who was so hard at home and could only drive the No. 16 Fishery Administration Boat, would definitely vomit three liters of blood.
Just when Zhou Qingfeng was worried, the air force who got the news from nowhere suddenly sent a reply: Have you considered pulling -11?
Pull-11? Soviet products, piston engine propeller aircraft in the late World War II, the Chinese Air Force has equipped more than a hundred of them, and they have made military exploits and seen blood. Due to the advent of the jet age, it was quickly made obsolete.
But can this thing be a carrier-based aircraft?
of course!
The Air Force said that as long as the engine is powerful enough, bricks can fly into the sky. Dozens of tattered La-11s can be pulled out by cleaning the armament warehouse, and it should still be usable after repairing and refurbishing. It's not a problem for military personnel to do this!
One of the major features of this kind of aircraft is that the fuselage is relatively light, the engine horsepower is large, the speed is fast, and the firepower is fierce, and it absolutely does not want your money, it is free!
Wait... what's the takeoff roll distance of this thing? It can't fly on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
This question is too simple, let's get on the booster rocket!
It has been said that as long as the power is enough, bricks can fly into the sky!
When taking off, hang two booster rockets, and it will fly up with a whiz, and it can also take off with a full load of fuel and bombs. And booster rockets should not be too simple, it will be done for you in minutes. Our country has too much experience in making this kind of thing that sends people to heaven or to the west.
Zhou Qingfeng was a little taken aback when he got this answer. He never thought of using an ordinary World War II fighter jet as a carrier aircraft, but the Air Force is quite active in promoting the La-11.
People even said: Even if the La-11 is not good, they can go to other countries to get other planes. For example, the Maoxiong family has a lot of bad ones, which are guaranteed to be cheap and will not cost a lot of money.
The Emotional Air Force has already reacted, and the one who would raise such a teasing condition must be the mysterious figure who played tricks with scum. Although Zhou Qingfeng's identity has not been revealed, the senior military officials already know that this person has something to do with the power armor that has shaken the entire military world recently.
As for power armor, the Air Force said: We need this thing very much!
Why do you need power armor for flying? That thing is really not a mecha, it is a land combat weapon and cannot fly!
The Air Force said: What we want is land warfare weapons. In addition to flying in the sky, we also have the most hard-pressed airborne troops!
The feeling of airborne troops going deep behind enemy lines sounds very majestic, but combat missions are very dangerous and the mortality rate is extremely high. Born to be surrounded in a combat environment without heavy weapons, this is really a game for the brave. Even if there are airborne chariots now, all of them are meat buns with thin skin and heavy filling.
Every airborne operation in history was accompanied by heavy casualties of the airborne troops, even for the two airborne divisions of US imperialism. The airborne troops are definitely the most unlucky of all the military branches. None of them, the Marine Corps is happier than them.
When the Air Force learned of the distribution of energy batteries with power packs, it immediately wanted to intervene. If the paratroopers that descended from the sky are no longer two-legged men, but wearing power armor and carrying heavy weapons, who can fight against them?
If it is said that power armor can increase the combat effectiveness of ordinary infantry by ten times, then once the airborne troops are equipped with power armor, the title of flying infantry will truly be deserved, and the combat effectiveness can be increased by a hundred times.
"As long as you give us half of the quota for the power package this time, we'll take care of the carrier-based aircraft!" In order to be the first to get the big killer that changes the military balance, the Air Force leader patted his chest and made a promise.
"But...you use booster rockets to push La-11 into the sky, so what about landing? La-11 can't land on an aircraft carrier!" Zhou Qingfeng still had doubts.
Hey...isn't it easy? If you can't use the blocking cable, use the blocking net!
The blocking net is a spare blocking device on the aircraft carrier, which is used when the blocking wire cannot be used. Although the use of blocking nets will affect the lifespan of the aircraft, but use them and throw them away! Do you also want to use half a century?
Ah..., that makes sense, if you can't hang on to the blocking wire, hit the blocking net. If the plane is scrapped, it will be scrapped, as long as the pilot is kept, and it is not intended to be used for a long time anyway.
Simple and crude solution. (To be continued.)
