Vol 2 Chapter 1745: Flying-wing reusable launch vehicle technology

Perhaps the military will be interested in this flying-wing reusable launch vehicle technology. Wu Hao thought for a while and nodded slightly.
　　 It stands to reason that this new type of reusable launch vehicle technology should be very interested by the aerospace authorities, or even attached great importance to it. But judging from Qin Xinghe's reaction, I am afraid that, as he said, their attention or focus is currently on several major projects. Thinking of such a project, it should be neglected for the time being.
　　 As for the military, they must be interested in this cutting-edge technology, but the specifics need to be discussed before we know.
　　 In fact, Wu Hao and others have already studied this kind of project or this kind of flying-wing reusable launch vehicle technology. It is definitely impossible to just give up like this, which does not fit their personality.
　　 So no matter what, they will continue. First, this technology can be used in many fields, such as the aerospace field, reusable launch vehicles, space vehicles, and so on.
　　In terms of military affairs, this technology can also be fully applied to the military. This technology of gliding and landing from space is actually somewhat similar to the technology of reentering the atmosphere by wave-riding, but there are some differences.
　　 When ballistic missiles return to the atmosphere, they usually fly along a fixed trajectory. This is the original ballistic missile technology.
　　 Later, with the development of air defense technology, this kind of ballistic missile with a fixed flight trajectory was very easy to be intercepted. In order to avoid being intercepted by enemy air defense forces, various military powers subsequently developed variable-track ballistic technology.
The so-called variable trajectory ballistic missile technology refers to the use of the power carried by the warhead or the upper stage to change the trajectory of the warhead in outer space, thereby changing the flight trajectory of the warhead or hitting the target, thereby avoiding the enemy's detection and defense in advance and reducing the enemy's detection time. Thereby increasing the difficulty of its defense.
　　 Later, on the basis of this technology, the eyes came out again. Another multi-warhead technology is also a ballistic missile strike technology that enhances the penetration capability and makes the enemy's defense difficult.
　　 is to install multiple warheads on a ballistic missile, which can be two or three, or more than a dozen. Among these warheads, they can all be real warheads, or some fake targets can be added. In this way, the number is used to increase or decrease missile penetration efforts.
In a powerful air defense system, it can deal with one or two missile attacks, or it can deal with seven or eight missile attacks at the same time, but if it can deal with a dozen or more missiles at the same time, then this air defense system can deal with it. It's hard to get up. Then its performance is strong, and it will always make mistakes in the face of numerous numbers.
　　 And usually the warheads equipped on these ballistic missiles are unconventional warheads. As long as one hit, it can severely damage the enemy's city, which is also difficult for the enemy to bear.
　　Even among these warheads, they can be used to strike targets of different sizes in the enemy's territory based on different equipment.
　　 With the establishment of multi-layer air defense networks in various countries, especially national defense systems, these strike methods have gradually begun to struggle. Therefore, all countries are developing strike weapons with stronger defense penetration capabilities.
　　 So a new kind of flight trajectory re-entered everyone's vision, and our country realized it first, and was the first to be equipped with this kind of strike weapon, which is the wave-riding warhead.
　　 The wave-riding warhead adopts the wave-riding configuration design, which is an aircraft shape suitable for hypersonic flight, and all its leading edges have attached shock waves. When flying in this wave-riding configuration, its leading edge plane coincides with the upper surface of the shock wave, just like riding on the wave surface of a shock wave, relying on the pressure of the shock wave to generate lift, so it is called the wave-riding configuration.
The waverider warhead developed based on this shape design can fly into the atmosphere at high speed, just like a water jet, and can bounce several times in the atmosphere continuously. In this way, the enemy will be added. The unpredictability of the air defense system greatly increases the difficulty of the enemy's interception of this wave-riding warhead.
　　 And Wu Hao's flying-wing reusable launch vehicle technology is somewhat similar to this waverider configuration, but it is also very different.
It will not bounce in the atmosphere, but will directly fly into the atmosphere from space and slide in the atmosphere. Through the control of the rocket body itself and the lift brought by the flying wings, the rocket body can be controlled, and It can make the arrow fly a very long distance, and can accurately land on the scheduled landing field or runway.
　　 In the military, this flying-wing reentry flight technology can also be applied to some strike weapons, such as missile warheads.
　　The missile warhead designed with this flying wing structure can make long-distance and precise maneuver taxiing when it re-enters the atmosphere. It can slide a long distance while ensuring speed. In this way, it can not only improve the penetration behavior of this flying-wing warhead, but also be able to strike various targets freely and flexibly, and even temporarily change the strike target.
　　 So Wu Hao believes that this technology will definitely be of interest to the military, but he still hopes that this technology can be used more on launch vehicles.
　　 After all, their original intention of developing this technology was to reduce the launch cost of the launch vehicle, thereby promoting the development of human aerospace industry.
　　 Xiao Wu, is this your Jianmu 9 launch vehicle? It looks a bit like the Jianmu 7 rocket has added two boosters. Zou Huanyi asked at him.
Wu Hao, who was in a daze, suddenly heard Zou Huanyi’s question~EbookFREE.me~ and immediately reacted, and then smiled and replied,
Yes, this Jianmu 9 rocket is in our Jianmu 7 carrier rocket. It was developed based on the improvement. This aspect is actually a bit like the relationship between our Jianmu-2 and Jianmu-5 rockets.
　　 The two boosters of this Jianmu 9 rocket are actually two Jianmu 7 first stage rocket bodies. Therefore, these two booster rockets and core-level rockets are the same. "
　　 This is still the way of the Falcon Heavy Rocket. Hearing his introduction, Zou Huanyi understood instantly.
　　 Ha ha, the general structure is the same. Wu Hao answered with a smile.
　　 In other words, its core-level rocket and two boosters can be recycled and reused? An expert asked.
　　 Wu Hao smiled and nodded and replied: "Yes, more than that, its two fairing halves can also be recycled and reused.
In the future, if our flying-wing reusable launch vehicle technology is successfully developed, after solving the problem of cost control, this flying-wing reusable rocket technology will also be applied to the second Jianmu 9 rocket. Above the rocket. In this way, the entire Jianmu 9 launch vehicle can be recycled and reused except for the ‘upper stage’ in the fairing that cannot be recycled, so that transportation costs can be greatly reduced. "
　　 Hearing his words, the discussion on the scene suddenly became louder. A leader next to him immediately asked, "How about the carrying capacity of this Jianmu 9 rocket?"
　　 [PS: Everyone, look forward, there was an easter egg at the end of the last chapter, there is a surprise. 】
