Chapter 441: Automatic loading

At this time, the position of the belly of the mocking fan was opened, and several researchers were talking about the automatic loading device in the bomb bay.
Obviously, the massive upgrade process just now does not exist for these people.
Chen Xin did not deliberately ask anything, but just walked to the side of the plane, and these researchers stopped the discussion and greeted Chen Xin one after another.
Without waiting for Chen Xin's question, one of the researchers proactively said to Chen Xin: "Academician, we were discussing this automatic loading system just now. It was designed by you. Do you think it can be applied to other aircraft?"
"Apply to other aircraft? Why do you have such an idea?" Chen Xin looked at the researcher who was interrogating, and instead of answering his question, asked him back.
Faced with Chen Xin’s rhetorical question, the researcher replied very directly:
If this device can be used, wouldn’t all our fighter jets be able to carry twice the ammunition load? This way they can be used in air combat. You will be able to gain more advantages!"
With that, the researcher's eyes showed excitement.
However, Chen Xin poured cold water on him: "The weight of the entire filling system will not be mentioned. When it is full of bombs, it will occupy most of the space of a fighter. The ridicule is because it does not require the characteristics of a fuel tank. In the belly of the aircraft, there is an extra magazine that can hold it.
Switching to other fighter jets, their structure is already very compact, and external fuel tanks are needed for combat. There is no room for this system in the abdomen.
Even if it is forcibly installed, it will only increase the take-off weight, resulting in a slower flight speed, and it will not play any role in actual combat. "
Chen Xin's words clearly dimmed the researcher's expression, and he also knew that things were exactly what Chen Xin said.
If you can bring more ammunition, it is impossible for the previous aircraft designers to miss these things. Even if they can't be made into automatic loading, they will make a few more mounting points on the fuselage.
But this researcher is still a bit reconciled. After all, if the bomb load of the aircraft can be increased, it can indeed effectively increase the firepower.
It's just that not every fighter is like mocking wind, which can save the fuel tank and install only one reactor.
Even if other fighters are transformed into nuclear-powered electric propulsion, the structure and layout of the fuselage are still restricting them, and it is impossible to squeeze the automatic loading equipment into the fuselage.
Researchers are not ignorant of this, but when faced with the automatic loading device in front of them, they will still have some imagination.
It is a pity that this imagination is destined to fail, and Chen Xin seems to feel that this is not enough, and specifically said: "And I am not satisfied with this automatic loading system. At that time, I just thought that there is still room in the cabin, so I can enter whatever you want. Just made such a system.
In the actual test, the pilot also felt that this system was not easy to use, so I plan to redo this system, or the entire missile launch part. "
"Redo? What do you plan to do, Academician?" Another researcher heard Chen Xin's words and asked curiously.
In response, Chen Xin touched his chin and said, "Have you seen a rocket launching nest? How about making a similar missile launching pod?"
"Uh... this..." Several researchers looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Although the rocket launching nest and the missile launching capsule are indeed similar in some sense, and the structure and principle are not much different, they are still two different things in the final analysis.
In addition, the volume of rockets launched by launching nests is generally relatively small, so they can fit into a launching nest.
But no matter how small the missile is, the size is still there. It is not impossible to fit a similar launch bay, but the size will be very large.
Looking at the expressions of several researchers, Chen Xin certainly understood what they meant.
Conventionally, only warships can fit missile launching bays, because road-based missiles are usually a missile and a launch vehicle. Anyway, there is enough space on the land to spread it out, so it’s not needed. Pack several missiles together.
Only warships or airplanes have this kind of demand.
But the warship is big enough, and naturally it can hold enough missiles. The aircraft is not big enough, even if the missiles are not big, they still can’t carry so many.
Although the mocking wind is a special case, even if Chen Xin improves the bomb-carrying structure in the belly of the plane, it will only be able to carry a few more missiles, and it is not easy to launch.
When everyone was embarrassed, a ground technician on the side suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, this structure is really unreasonable. Perhaps the rack can be made into the style of a traditional bomb rack, and then, like a magazine, one shot one at a time. Launch?"
The ground technician finished speaking, only to find that everyone's eyes turned to him.
This made the ground technician a little embarrassed, thinking that there was something wrong with what he said. UU reading www.uukanshu.cOM
However, Chen Xin did not pursue it. He just continued to touch his chin and went under the belly of the plane. He looked up at the automatic loading mechanism above his head and the missile pylons opened on both sides. After thinking about it, he said, "This proposal is not bad. If you change the bomb bay to a magazine-type pylon, replace the pylons on both sides with launch ports, and load one round with one round, you can indeed carry more ammunition than the current structure."
I want to announce that [\Mic\Mic\Reading\app\\] is really good, it is worth installing, after all, you can cache books and read them offline!
"If this is the case, you can only carry one type of ammunition, right? This has an impact on the flexibility of operations!" A researcher on the side followed Chen Xin's thinking for a while, and felt that there was still a problem. solve.
"This is easy to solve. Just open two more launch ports on the back. The bomb bay is divided into two. The middle part is for the back launch port, and the two sides are for the two launch ports, so that you can carry two types of ammunition." Chen Xin only thought a little and gave a solution.
Hearing what Chen Xin said, after discussing with each other, several researchers felt that this idea was more feasible.
So one of them asked Chen Xin: "Academician, do we need to modify the mocking wind fighter's bomb bay according to this plan?"
"Let me see if you come up with a design plan. Don't rush to move the bomb bay. After your plan comes out, I will see if I want to change it." Chen Xin was not in a hurry to get started, but Let the researchers make the plan first.
Although the transformation is very simple for him, and it is only a matter of thinking to get a practical transformation plan, but after all, Chen Xin is not a professional, so he still let these researchers come up with the plan. He is based on the professional plan. It is better to make improvements.
