Chapter 1040: Take off

It is not easy for fighter jets to take off and land on aircraft carriers.
On land, even if it can take off and land for short distances, the runway must be at least 500 meters long. Under normal circumstances, the runway is more than one thousand meters long. After all, the take-off and landing of a fighter plane needs to roll.
However, the aircraft carrier obviously does not have such a long distance. In this case, the aircraft carrier needs special means.
For example, when landing, a blocking cable is used. When the hook on the tail of the carrier aircraft hooks the blocking cable, it abruptly pulls the carrier aircraft to a stop.
When taking off, relying on your own power, you can't fly from a takeoff line of more than 100 meters.
This requires special means. Generally speaking, it is ski jump or catapult takeoff.
Sliding takeoff is to prop up the bow of the ship to provide a for the aircraft to tilt up into the sky, while catapult takeoff is to use a catapult to provide more power to the fighter.
These are extra means.
For the current May 25th aircraft carrier, the deck is too small and the catapult is too small. Catching an A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft can’t take off with full bombs. In addition to the carrier’s sailing to the maximum speed, Rely on the sea breeze.
It is close to the South Pole and has strong sea breeze, so under normal circumstances, it can still take off.
But what about the Super Banner?
The Super Banner has not yet conducted a catapult take-off experiment on the small aircraft carrier of Silver Nation, and Ji Nation’s own Clemenceau aircraft carrier has a displacement of twice that of Silver Nation, and its catapult length is also longer than that of Silver Nation. Dozens of meters!
Super ensign, can it take off?
If it can't take off, what does the Silver Navy want it to do!
Of course, the navy has not only carrier-based aviation, but also land aviation. In countries without aircraft carriers, naval aviation takes off from land airports.
But what use is the Super Banner if it can’t take off from the May 25th aircraft carrier? On land airports, wouldn’t it be better to use Flying Leopard?
It can be said that if the Super Banner cannot take off from the May 25th, then the Super Banner will completely lose its need for existence.
In history, the Silver Nation had no choice. Only the combination of the Chicken Nation’s super flag and flying fish missiles could meet their needs. After purchasing fighters, the Silver Nation’s navy had to transform their aircraft carriers and increase the flight deck. The area is longer, and the catapult is lengthened to use the "Super Army Flag" aircraft.
(Even if it was modified, the Navy did not effectively operate the aircraft carrier in this war. The Super Ensign fighter took off from a land airport and had to be refueled in the air to fight. The effectiveness was greatly compromised. The Navy stayed in the port until the end of the war. )
Now, due to the competition with Han, the people of Ji Guo first concealed this shortcoming, and kept saying that they could take off. When the silver kingdom bought it, it would not work, and it would not be too late to transform the aircraft carrier.
But now, I didn't expect to board the aircraft carrier all at once. If it can't take off, it will be completely exposed. Will the Navy still choose?
When Boileau thought of this, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.
Qin Guan smiled and said, "The air-conditioning equipment in this cabin is so good, Mr. Boileau, you are all sweating, do you want to take off your suit?"
Boileau stared at Qin Guan with an angry look. If his eyes could kill someone, Qin Guan didn't know how many times he had died. Qin Guan was still smiling. Dassault Company still wanted to compete? You have completely failed!
The power of an aircraft carrier is a carrier-based aircraft, but the carrier-based aircraft is only equipped on the aircraft carrier when it goes to sea. Generally speaking, when the aircraft carrier sets sail, the carrier-based aircraft takes off from a land airport and lands on it. When returning, the ship The carrier plane will take off and land at the land airport.
If the Super Banner cannot take off from the aircraft carrier and is forced to go to the port and then be hoisted by a crane, it will be completely ashamed.
Boileau rolled his eyes and thought of something: "Of course it's okay. Our Super Banner is originally a carrier-based aircraft. Wait."
What are you afraid of? It’s no problem to take off the Super Banner.
The take-off of a fighter plane is divided into many situations, in simple terms, it is the size of its own weight.
If the Super Banner still carries missiles and auxiliary fuel tanks, then of course it will be choking. Now that the auxiliary fuel tanks have been thrown out and the missiles have been shot out, the fighter jets will be filled with less fuel so that they can always take off?
Francois knows how to do it.
After boarding the ship, Francois knew about this problem.
He has to fly a fighter plane and leave the aircraft carrier, but how to leave is still particular.
At present, the aircraft carrier is about five to six hundred kilometers away from the shore. If you return at a high altitude, you only need to add half of the fuel. In order to be richer, you can do more.
"Please fill me with three tons of fuel." After getting off the fighter, on the deck, Francois said to the deck personnel.
The maximum take-off weight of the Super Banner is 11.9 tons. Now there is no external missile, and only half a tank of fuel is added. The weight is only eight tons.
You know, the current A-4 attack aircraft operated by the Silver State Navy also has a maximum weight of 8 tons. (There are many models of A-4, the ultimate improved version in the later period, with a maximum take-off weight of 11 tons, but only the original A-4B was purchased by Silver Country.)
The same is eight tons, but the power of your own aircraft is strong. Turn on the afterburner and cooperate with the catapult, absolutely no problem. Francois was on the deck, watching the deck personnel cheer him up, he was thinking about everything in his heart. After taking off, he went back and said it was a failure of the airborne equipment and asked to re-test the Flying Fish missile. Something went wrong!
He watched his fighter plane fill up with fuel, and then was moved to the end of the catapult, took a deep breath, and Francois got on his fighter plane again.
"The Super Banner calls the tower, please mention full speed." Francois shouted over the radio.
"Received, we will sail at full speed, good luck to you." On the bridge, the captain said.
He had just finished speaking, and a sailor came by and said: "The weather department reports that the sea breeze has stopped.
The sea breeze stopped? The captain was taken aback for a moment, right? What a coincidence?
Generally speaking, the sea breeze here is fierce, and it lasts all the year round. Now it will stop?
"Super Banner, now there is no headwind, can you take off?" the captain asked quickly over the radio.
against the wind?
For the aircraft carrier, even 3 knots of deck wind is good, so when ejecting the aircraft, you must turn to headwind and sail at full speed. But now, you have cheated home. If there is no sea breeze, stop sailing and take off. , It also seems that your fighter is too bad, right? This battle is still determined by God?
"You can take off." Francois shouted.
Then, he was ready to meet the strong push-back feeling on his back at any time.
