Chapter 2411: Less is better

Grumman is now in a crisis. This is caused by many reasons. The digging that Qin Guan gave them is certainly important, and the competition between their domestic military aircraft research and development is also closely related.
In fact, at this point, Qin Guan is quite envious. The strong national strength of the Eagle Country is vividly reflected in this aspect. Many domestic military aircraft research and development need to concentrate all the strengths and work together to tackle problems before they can finally research and develop. Come out, for example, the new generation of engines developed by ourselves is jointly developed by all research institutions. But what about the Eagle Country? People can bid directly, and several companies compete.
Only when there is competition, there will be development, and the survival of the fittest, of course, in competition, we can also use some means to exclude good things.
Without the Tomcat's Eagle State Navy, it would be like a tiger losing its tooth. Qin Guan was pulling his teeth from the tiger's mouth.
Holding a copy of the manuscript just written in Qin Guan's hand, looking at the title above, Qin Guan was very satisfied: "On the Trend of Multi-purpose Navy Carrier Aircraft."
If the Navy wants to save money, the types of carrier-based aircraft should be as few as possible. In the previous era, dedicated aircraft were necessary, because different tasks require different performance of carrier-based aircraft.
For example, a fighter jet needs a high thrust-to-weight ratio engine and an advanced aerodynamic shape. It can fly to speeds above Mach 2 and can also perform various large maneuvering overload actions in combat. This requires its lighter body. The better.
What about the attack aircraft? Attack aircraft often face fierce artillery fire to attack the enemy. It needs heavy armor protection. The bathtub in the pilot's cockpit must be standard, and the engine must be resistant to blows. Various operating systems must have several circuits, and the body is stronger. The better, and at the same time, the nose has to be tilted down so that the pilot can observe the ground conditions easily. Therefore, it is impossible for such an aircraft to make it highly maneuverable.
Therefore, many attack aircraft do not have the ability to fly at supersonic speeds, and some even have small-angle swept wings, but when it takes off with heavy bombs, no one will doubt its ability.
Fighting with advanced fighter jets looks very chic. In fact, the most important thing for any unit is its offensive ability.
If it were before, fighter jets and attack aircraft were definitely two different types of aircraft. But now, it can be integrated, why? This is the development of technology.
Technology is constantly advancing. For attack aircraft, braving enemy fire and attacking at close range has become a thing of the past. Modern precision strike weapons can be launched at long range, which greatly improves their attack. The security of the machine, and at the same time, some technologies that ensure security have become a thing of the past.
Now Han has a series of weapons. The simplest precision-guided weapons are of course the original ordinary free-falling aerial bombs. The precision-guided bombs made by adding GPS kits can move from several kilometers. Throw it from the outside, so that the ground-based anti-aircraft artillery will not have the opportunity to attack. As for the ground-based air defense firepower, various anti-radiation missiles can be used to attack from a long distance.
Other weapons include laser guidance, imaging guidance, etc. In short, various weapons outside the defense zone are emerging in endlessly. Then, ordinary fighters can be used as attack aircraft. This is the result of technological development.
The advancement of technology is so efficient. As long as these ground attack functions are added to the fighter's weapon system, it can replace the attack aircraft.
At the same time, it is also possible that attack aircraft can replace fighter jets. It can also be equipped with advanced radars and advanced missiles for interception missions.
The boundary between fighter and attack aircraft is becoming more and more blurred. Therefore, as long as there is one type of aircraft, it can complete various tasks such as air defense interception, sea-to-land attack, and patrol required by the aircraft carrier formation. Fight the world!
Of course, this is a combat aircraft type. For aircraft carriers, there should be several other aircraft types, such as electronic warfare aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, transport aircraft, tankers, and so on.
These aircraft must also be combined with platforms. Electronic jammers can be modified with fighter bodies. Early warning aircraft, transport aircraft, and anti-submarine aircraft can be a unified jet platform. One aircraft has multiple functions, which greatly saves the maintenance cost of aircraft carriers. Finally, add an efficient helicopter, or a tiltrotor, and that's it.
This article by Qin Guan elaborated on such a truth. Of course, there is nothing wrong with it. The Chinese Navy intends to follow this path. However, when it is published at this time, it is clear that it is cheering for the Super Hornet. !
"Although we have various methods, it is still difficult to get the Eagle Navy to abandon the Tomcat fighters. They are not stupid and will not be fooled by us, but when the external situation changes. , They will still make their own choice." Qin Guan said to the scholar.
It was still easy for the scholar to use. Now that the scholar is back, the protection of Qin Guan is more effective, and similar things like the last time will never happen again, because Qin Guan doesn't even have the qualification to fly.
Now, Xiucai looked at the manuscript and listened to Qin Guan's words, and nodded again and again: "Yes, President Qin, but there is nothing you can't do. As long as you take action, you will definitely succeed."
"Okay, don't use mythology, see what other arrangements we have recently?" Qin Guan asked.
The battleship Iowa has returned, and the modification of the battleship is already in full swing. Qin Guan attaches great importance to this matter, but he doesn’t have to stay there all the time. After all, he discovered that all aspects of the motherland, They are all making progress. In many cases, they can move forward without his push, but he still hopes that he can learn more.
"Recently, there are two main things." Xiucai said: "On the one hand, it is the domestic high-speed railway. The country has completed the research and development of prototype cars and is ready to start experiments."
The high-speed railway, Qin Guan's layout in those years, hopes that the country can seize the commanding heights in this field, regardless of the island people do the earliest, but if you say the most mature, it is your own! Now that the prototype car has been developed, Qin Guan is very happy.
"On the other hand, it is the technology of our anti-stealth aircraft. The technology of the meter-wave phased array radar that you proposed has also just achieved a breakthrough recently and is ready for the next stage of testing."
