Chapter 1788: CCG 200

Qin Guan originally planned to use this helicopter to chase the traitor, but after discovering that the other party was already in the 022 guided missile boat, Qin Guan changed his plan.
The helicopter slowly landed on the naval carrier-based aircraft training base. At this time, it was already nightfall. The huge steel simulation deck was shining with lights at this time. You can see that there are carrier-based aircraft moving on it. The navy is conducting night simulation training.
"President Qin, welcome to our base." The commander of the base and Qin Guan are already old acquaintances. Now that Qin Guan and others arrive, they are quite happy.
"Are you ready?" Qin Guan asked.
Before they arrived, Major Yang had already notified here in advance. Therefore, when they came here, the base had already made emergency preparations in accordance with Qin Guan’s request. Now, upon hearing Qin Guan’s words, the commander of the base said : "Of course it's ready, please come here."
Bypassing the tall building of the ship bridge, on the ordinary runway on the other side, everyone can see a special-shaped aircraft.
An ordinary upper single wing has no sweep angle. It can be seen that this kind of aircraft is subsonic. The wing close to the root of the wing has two jet engines suspended, which is similar to the structure of a passenger aircraft. The outside of the wing is Foldable, with a tall vertical tail and a stubby fuselage, this aircraft is the S-3 anti-submarine aircraft obtained from Eagle Country.
This is also an aircraft that Qin Guan got when he negotiated with the Eagles. Although the number is small, it is of great significance to the navy, because this aircraft will become a key model of the navy's carrier aviation.
Its platform is advanced and can be improved in many ways. In addition, the fuel tank is an aerial tanker, an anti-ship missile is mounted, and a sonar is an anti-submarine aircraft. With various electronic jamming equipment, it is an electronic jammer. At the same time, there are This latest modification, the early warning type.
The An-71 early warning aircraft has always been experimental in nature. After the test flight, everyone discovered that the jet early warning aircraft has more advantages than the propeller early warning aircraft.
In the papers of later generations, why the carrier-based early warning aircraft are all propeller-type, rather than jet-type, this is originally a false proposition, but it is because there are too few ship-borne early-warning aircraft, and the only thing left is the Eagle E-2. Early warning aircraft, there is no comparison object.
Take a look at Xiong Guo. Two models were developed simultaneously, the Yak-44 AWACS and the An-71 AWACS. When the comparison between the two was completed, it was discovered that the jet early warning aircraft has more advantages. The jet-powered propulsion is full, and it can be ejected or slipped Jump to take off, faster, can quickly reach the sky above the theater, and at the same time, it is also easy to accept the of other fighters.
However, it is inconvenient to place the radar of the An-71 early warning aircraft on the vertical tail. The most direct point is that it cannot be stuffed into the hangar, which is too high.
This alternative layout is not appropriate, and the An-71 platform is also destined to not last.
Therefore, after comparison, the Han Chinese Navy finally decided to develop a carrier-based early warning aircraft based on the S-3 platform. The S-3 platform will become one of the main platforms for future carrier-based aircraft. There are various modifications to satisfy The needs of aircraft carrier formations.
For the aircraft carrier, the fewer models it carries, the better, which can facilitate maintenance. According to the assumption, Han Guo's carrier aircraft will eventually only carry three models.
The first type is fighter jets. This fighter jet is based on the J-11. After being transformed for multiple purposes, it can be intercepted remotely and attack ground-to-sea. One aircraft has multiple functions, which is enough to meet these needs.
And the second type is the S-3 platform, the carrier-based early-warning aircraft, transport aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, and fuel tankers are all of this type and belong to general-purpose aircraft.
The third type is naturally a ship-borne helicopter. This type of helicopter will be based on a copy of the Black Hawk. Although it will definitely be replaced with a tiltrotor in the future, it is too early for now.
Three models hit the world.
Qin Guan is now standing in front of the S-3 early warning aircraft. The biggest difference between the appearance of this early warning aircraft and ordinary aircraft is naturally the radar erected behind the fuselage.
"How does this radar antenna have a triangular shape?" Qin Guan had heard of the pre-research of this aircraft before, but now, looking at the shape of the large plate on the top, it is still strange, why it is a triangle. , Isn’t it a common disc shape?
"This is the ingenious idea of ​​the engineers. It happens to prevent the wing from blocking the radar waves." At this time, the crew was already in place. Hearing Qin Guan's question, he immediately spoke.
Anyway, the above is a phased array radar antenna. You can arrange it as you want. Since you can make a stick, why can't you make a triangle?
In the past, when the Air Police 2000 was developed, there were many difficulties. Thousands of technical problems, large and small, were overcome before and after the first Air Police 2000 was finally put into service. However, after the successful development of this aircraft, other It’s very easy to study the airplane of China. It’s just easy to come by. You can change it as you want.
Then, two tactical early warning aircraft were developed on the basis of the medium-sized transport aircraft, and the navy was developed. The navy immediately selected the S-3 aircraft as the platform.
This is a small plane after all, with limited space, and the long wings will block radar signals. What can be avoided?
Some engineers have figured out a way. On the top of this aircraft, the radar antenna is laid out on three sides of a triangle. The front side is parallel to the wing, so that it radiates directly from the front of the wing. The two sides at the back take care of their respective 120-degree areas so that there is no occlusion.
Otherwise, it would be a big project to change the wings to composite materials!
Only then did Qin Guan understand, he could not help but nodded: "It seems that our technicians are very smart."
In fact, in that parallel time and space, although there is no S-3 early warning aircraft, some people have imagined that the radome is of this kind of triangle. Qin Guan was puzzled at that time, but now he discovered that different routes lead to the same goal. This is the best solution to the problem. The plan.
His gaze shifted away from the flat antenna, and then fell to the side of the nose, where he brushed the coast guard 200 characters.
It seems that the Navy is still low-key. The Air Force was immediately named the Air Police 2000. It was a large strategic early warning aircraft, and the Navy’s small aircraft was destined to be only a tactical early warning aircraft, so it was the Marine Police 200.
"Can I go up?" Qin Guan asked.
"Of course, but the conditions may be as difficult as the An-71." The captain said to Qin Guan.
