Chapter 443: Automatic loading
5 min read1,298 words
At this time, the position of the belly of the mocking fan was opened, and
several researchers were talking about the automatic loading device in the
bomb bay.
Obviously, the massive upgrade process just now does not exist for these
people.
Chen Xin did not deliberately ask anything, but just walked to the side of the
plane, and these researchers stopped the discussion and greeted Chen Xin one
after another.
Without waiting for Chen Xin's question, one of the researchers proactively
said to Chen Xin: "Academician, we were discussing this automatic loading
system just now. It was designed by you. Do you think it can be applied to
other aircraft?"
"Apply to other aircraft? Why do you have such an idea?" Chen Xin looked at
the researcher who was interrogating, and instead of answering his question,
asked him back.
Faced with Chen Xin’s rhetorical question, the researcher replied very
directly: “If this device can be used, wouldn’t all our fighter jets be able
to carry twice the ammunition load? This way they can be used in air combat.
You will be able to gain more advantages!"
With that, the researcher's eyes showed excitement.
However, Chen Xin poured cold water on him: "The weight of the entire filling
system will not be mentioned. When it is full of bombs, it will occupy most of
the space of a fighter. The ridicule is because it does not require the
characteristics of a fuel tank. In the belly of the aircraft, there is an
extra magazine that can hold it.
Switching to other fighter jets, their structure is already very compact, and
external fuel tanks are needed for combat. There is no room for this system in
the abdomen.
Even if it is forcibly installed, it will only increase the take-off weight,
resulting in a slower flight speed, and it will not play any role in actual
combat. "
Chen Xin's words clearly dimmed the researcher's expression, and he also knew
that things were exactly what Chen Xin said.
If you can bring more ammunition, it is impossible for the previous aircraft
designers to miss these things. Even if they can't be made into automatic
loading, they will make a few more mounting points on the fuselage.
But this researcher is still a bit reconciled. After all, if the bomb load of
the aircraft can be increased, it can indeed effectively increase the
firepower.
It's just that not every fighter is like mocking wind, which can save the fuel
tank and install only one reactor.
Even if other fighters are transformed into nuclear-powered electric
propulsion, the structure and layout of the fuselage are still restricting
them, and it is impossible to squeeze the automatic loading equipment into the
fuselage.
Researchers are not ignorant of this, but when faced with the automatic
loading device in front of them, they will still have some imagination.
It is a pity that this imagination is destined to fail, and Chen Xin seems to
feel that this is not enough, and specifically said: "And I am not satisfied
with this automatic loading system. At that time, I just thought that there is
still room in the cabin, so I can enter whatever you want. Just made such a
system.
In the actual test, the pilot also felt that this system was not easy to use,
so I plan to redo this system, or the entire missile launch part. "
"Redo? What do you plan to do, Academician?" Another researcher heard Chen
Xin's words and asked curiously.
In response, Chen Xin touched his chin and said, "Have you seen a rocket
launching nest? How about making a similar missile launching pod?"
"Uh... this..." Several researchers looked at me and I looked at you, and they
didn't know what to say for a while.
Although the rocket launching nest and the missile launching capsule are
indeed similar in some sense, and the structure and principle are not much
different, they are still two different things in the final analysis.
In addition, the volume of rockets launched by launching nests is generally
relatively small, so they can fit into a launching nest.
But no matter how small the missile is, the size is still there. It is not
impossible to fit a similar launch bay, but the size will be very large.
Looking at the expressions of several researchers, Chen Xin certainly
understood what they meant.
Conventionally, only warships can fit missile launching bays, because road-
based missiles are usually a missile and a launch vehicle. Anyway, there is
enough space on the land to spread it out, so it’s not needed. Pack several
missiles together.
Only warships or airplanes have this kind of demand.
But the warship is big enough, and naturally it can hold enough missiles. The
aircraft is not big enough, even if the missiles are not big, they still can’t
carry so many.
Although the mocking wind is a special case, even if Chen Xin improves the
bomb-carrying structure in the belly of the plane, it will only be able to
carry a few more missiles, and it is not easy to launch.
When everyone was embarrassed, a ground technician on the side suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, this structure is really unreasonable. Perhaps the rack
can be made into the style of a traditional bomb rack, and then, like a
magazine, one shot one at a time. Launch?"
The ground technician finished speaking, only to find that everyone's eyes
turned to him.
This made the ground technician a little embarrassed, thinking that there was
something wrong with what he said. UU reading www.uukanshu.cOM
However, Chen Xin did not pursue it. He just continued to touch his chin and
went under the belly of the plane. He looked up at the automatic loading
mechanism above his head and the missile pylons opened on both sides. After
thinking about it, he said, "This proposal is not bad. If you change the bomb
bay to a magazine-type pylon, replace the pylons on both sides with launch
ports, and load one round with one round, you can indeed carry more ammunition
than the current structure."
I want to announce that [\Mic\Mic\Reading\app\\] is really good, it is worth
installing, after all, you can cache books and read them offline!
"If this is the case, you can only carry one type of ammunition, right? This
has an impact on the flexibility of operations!" A researcher on the side
followed Chen Xin's thinking for a while, and felt that there was still a
problem. solve.
"This is easy to solve. Just open two more launch ports on the back. The bomb
bay is divided into two. The middle part is for the back launch port, and the
two sides are for the two launch ports, so that you can carry two types of
ammunition." Chen Xin only thought a little and gave a solution.
Hearing what Chen Xin said, after discussing with each other, several
researchers felt that this idea was more feasible.
So one of them asked Chen Xin: "Academician, do we need to modify the mocking
wind fighter's bomb bay according to this plan?"
"Let me see if you come up with a design plan. Don't rush to move the bomb
bay. After your plan comes out, I will see if I want to change it." Chen Xin
was not in a hurry to get started, but Let the researchers make the plan
first.
Although the transformation is very simple for him, and it is only a matter of
thinking to get a practical transformation plan, but after all, Chen Xin is
not a professional, so he still let these researchers come up with the plan.
He is based on the professional plan. It is better to make improvements.
