Chapter 2101: Kitty Hawk

In the weapon cemetery, Qin Guan had actually seen it, but these things have been abandoned, and that dilapidated body would collapse as soon as it was put into the sea. It looked very desolate, and now it is. , These equipment is still flying at least, and it looks more solid.
Besides, wandering around in the weapon cemetery, it is definitely better to have a designer explain it to yourself.
"Yeah, we are also proud of this." Alekseyev said: "However, please accept my apologies. Those are our top secrets, so we temporarily decline to visit."
When he said that, he took a look at Ivan Mikoyan. At this time, Ivan's face was also unhappy. We've all agreed. Give you two engines. Let us see.
However, the look in Alexeyev's eyes seems to tell him that I originally wanted eight sets, and you bargained for two sets. Therefore, I have to make a discount. You can watch it, but you can't watch the big guys!
The question of who pits who will be discussed later, anyway, for now, we can't quarrel in front of President Qin.
As for Qin Guan, he didn't have much dissatisfaction, his face continued to smile: "Then what can we see?"
"I will show you our most mature model, the Kitty Hawk class." Akseleyev said: "This ground-effect aircraft has been tested for more than ten years. It is quite mature. According to the plan, the military More than one hundred aircraft will be ordered to achieve a 10,000-level landing, but now, this plan has been cancelled."
If the army orders 120 Kitty Hawks, then their Alekseyev Design Bureau will come out as a result and go into production normally, which shows that their research is valuable for many years. The appropriation for the new Caspian monsters also came down, but unfortunately, as the map came on stage, all of this went into nothing.
"Yes, but I want to fly with it once, if you need it, we can pay for the fuel." Qin Guan said.
Don't care about the size, first care if you have it. It's good to be able to go to the Kitty Hawk level to see it, but you have to fly one time to try it.
The Kitty Hawk is not as huge as the Caspian monster. This aircraft is only half its length, more than 50 meters, with a wingspan of more than 30 meters, and a takeoff weight of more than 100 tons. Even so, it is much stronger than a hovercraft.
The first part of this ground-effect aircraft has only two NK-84K turbofan engines with a single thrust of 10 tons. It is mainly used for take-off, generating air cushions and increasing ground efficiency. After all, I want to make it the same as a ship of more than 100 tons. It’s not easy for the big guy to fly. After taking off, you can turn off the two engines and only use the NK-12MK turboprop engine at the tail for cruise flight. Because it is a propeller, the speed is not fast. When fully loaded , The maximum speed is about 200 kilometers per hour.
Even so, it is much faster than a hovercraft, and it can fly long distances. It can take off and land in level 3 sea conditions, and can swoop in more severe conditions.
Now, a crowd of people came to the front of the Kitty Hawk class, and they could see that this kind of aircraft seemed a bit old. After all, it had been flying in sea water for more than ten years. The sea water was corroded strongly, and there were also traces left by the years. It can even be said that some of the aluminum alloy inside may have fatigue cracks.
"Ms. Qin, do you really want to go up?" the scholar who followed asked Qin Guan.
"Of course, I can swim, can you? If not, you can also come up, don't worry." Qin Guan said.
Qin Guan walked up and looked inside. Since it is an aircraft, it must be a long strip. It is not wide enough to allow large equipment such as tanks to come up. However, transport personnel is fine, and infantry fighting vehicles are also fine. It can be installed and used to land on the beach, which is the most suitable.
"Please sit down, we are here for a test flight." Alekseyev said.
Although Qin Guan said to pay for gas, if he really asked for it, it would seem too shabby here. Therefore, Alekseyev didn't ask for money, he had to prepare for the flight.
Just after going up and making a circle, Ivan Mikoyan shook his head and said, "I don't like to take a boat. I will dizzy. I will get off first. You continue."
Obviously, he has no confidence in this kind of aircraft. He will not risk his life, especially unnecessary risks. After talking for a long time, he is just a pimp, specifically Qin Guan and Alexeyer. He doesn't care how the husband communicates, and he just leaves room for them to communicate separately.
When the front engine started, the deafening sound made several people in the cabin frowned. Take a look at McDonnell Douglas airliner, why always like to deploy the engine behind? Just to reduce noise, but now, their engine is at the front, fortunately, it is only used during takeoff. If it is a normal flight, it will be crazy.
Then, the propeller at the tail also turned. The aircraft glided forward on the sea, accelerated, and splashed. The front engine continuously provided sufficient airflow to blow onto the rear wing, and the lift on the wing was also It grew bigger and bigger, and then suddenly the whole body lightened, and you could see that the sea was already below and they were already flying.
Taking off is so easy! It’s easier than taking off an airplane, because the front lift engine makes its ground effect increase faster! After leaving the water, the lift engine continued to work for two minutes, and the aircraft reached its cruising speed. Finally, the front engine stalled.
The terrible noise finally disappeared, and everyone eased up and looked down.
The height of the flight is about ten meters above sea level. From the porthole here, you can easily see the blue sea below, see the surging waves above, and there are several seagulls in the distance. When the seagulls find this side When it was a huge monster, it flew away in horror. Even if it has been sailing here for many years, it will still cause discomfort for these small animals every time it is dispatched.
Flying on the sea!
Of course, airplanes can fly in this way. In many operations, they will attack against the sea surface. However, this is very dangerous. For this kind of ground-effect aircraft, this altitude is their most important. Commonly used, this also means that this kind of ground-effect aircraft can have a very good purpose, carrying anti-ship missiles and acting as a killer of aircraft carrier formations!
Because this is for the test flight, there is no compartment in the back, and you can see the cockpit in front with your own eyes. At this time, after take-off, Alekseyev handed the aircraft to the person next to him, got up from the chair, and faced Then he said: "How do you feel?"
