Deck.
Beyond the use of armored decks, there are no other improvements.
Looking at the modification line diagram in front of him, Li Yian, who was frowning, felt a little complicated.
That’s it…
"There is no other plan?"
Obviously, there is no other plan, or they simply did not think of any other plan.
After thinking about it, Li Yian said.
“Have you considered angled decking?”
“What?”
Zuo Guiyi said doubtfully.
“What is a bevel deck?”
“It is to add a bevel deck of about 10 degrees on the side of the through deck. The all-through deck is through, and carrier-based aircraft cannot Taking off and landing on the same runway at the same time. When the aircraft takes off, the parked aircraft has to be squeezed into the rear half of the flight deck and the front half is used as the take-off runway. However, this affects the taxiing distance of the aircraft. The plane must wait until the runway has been vacated after takeoff before the plane in the air can land. And if you are not careful, the plane that lands later can easily collide with the plane that landed first..."
As he spoke, Li Yi'an took it. He started writing and directly added a beveled deck to the deck line drawing. This was the aircraft carrier he was familiar with. Didn't all aircraft carriers in later generations have a beveled deck? If not, they would be amphibious assault ships.
“The use of angled decks can significantly increase the available space on the starboard side of the bow and amidships, resulting in better deck utilization...”
Although he only made a few simple strokes, a ship engineer like Zuo Guiyi could see the benefits of the "angled deck" at a glance.
"Ah, your idea is simply a stroke of genius. The "angled deck" not only allows the landing and recovery operations and the bow take-off operations to not interfere with each other, but also effectively expands the flight deck space. It can also be used at an inclined angle. A triangular aircraft parking area is formed between the corner landing area and the bow of the ship, which is not disturbed by take-off and landing operations. Aircraft can carry out maintenance operations in this area..."
Walking to the drawings, Zuo Guiyi was online The pictures are gesticulating and flattering, I have to say, East Asia! Some habits are similar.
Li Yian, who felt extremely comfortable after being flattered by all the flattery, looked at the empty bow deck and naturally thought of the catapult.
That’s right, it’s the catapult.
With a catapult, jet fighters can naturally take off and land!
But has the steam catapult been invented now?
“Considering that aircraft will become heavier and heavier, relying on their own power may not necessarily meet the take-off requirements. We can consider using catapults and research new large-scale catapults that use steam as power..."< br>
Of course, all of the above are just based on Li Yian's impression of aircraft carriers to provide some technical direction. As for how to implement this technology, he is completely unclear.
But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand. As long as he provides good ideas, the company will naturally organize technical personnel to study it. In fact, Nanyang has already had catapults.
At the aviation launch site at Cape Mankaliha, in addition to the V2 missile, there is also a replica of the V1 missile. The launch of the V1 missile uses a catapult, which uses a gasoline generator as power. source, using a rocket fuel mixed with hydrogen peroxide) and sodium permanganate.
The operating principle of this catapult is very similar to the steam catapult used on aircraft carriers: high-pressure gas is pushed into a steel tube in the launch track box, which will push a steel tube connected to the bottom of the missile. Piston slider, the piston slider slides using a slotted cylinder. When launched, the missile will take off from a slope tens of meters long facing the target. With the help of this pneumatic piston, the V-1 missile can quickly accelerate from 0 to 320 kilometers per hour. The technical source of the steam catapult that was later used on aircraft carriers by the United States and Britain was the V1 missile catapult.
Although the method of generating steam through chemical reactions is not safe enough, with the prototype, everything else is easy to handle. All that remains is to use the boiler to boil water to provide steam for this slotted cylinder. The tree will naturally be able to be connected all the way. As for the technical issues, it can be left to the engineers to solve.
……
Aircraft carrier!
It’s just a little too young and a little too old.
"That is to say, let's solve the problem of whether or not for the time being, and then build Nanyang's own aircraft carrier after the shipbuilding industry develops in the future."
Although I am thinking about aircraft carriers, in the future Deep down in Li Yi'an's heart, he also knew very well that compared to aircraft carriers, what Nanyang needed most was amphibious assault ships. After all, Nanyang is a country with thousands of large and small islands. For such an archipelagic country, For us, the amphibious assault ship is the most important. Helicopters taking off from amphibious assault ships are, to a certain extent, more important than fixed-wing fighter jets taking off from aircraft carriers.
This is why Li Yi'an asked the military to research helicopter technology, and even took the initiative to cooperate with Sikorsky to fund the development of Sikorsky's S-55 helicopter, even if this helicopter The helicopter that just took flight last month uses a piston engine, but it still uses many novel designs. It is the world's first general-purpose helicopter, and its spacious cabin can carry more than a dozen passengers.
Through cooperation with Sikorsky, Nanyang Aviation Industry can absorb the most advanced helicopter technology of this era to independently research general-purpose helicopters for the future.
However, a real general-purpose helicopter is obviously not suitable for using a piston engine, which requires a turboshaft engine. After the engine problem is solved, it is more difficult to build a UH-1 similar to the UH-1 used by the US military in the Vietnam War. Huey helicopter. Li Yian prefers the "Black Hawk". After all, the "Black Hawk" is the real king of general aircraft. Of course, it is also the helicopter most suitable for the Nanyang rainforest environment.
However, all of this is just a plan for the future. After all, let alone the Black Hawk, even the S55 helicopter has just been tested. As for the turboshaft engine that is most suitable for helicopters until now I still don’t know which mother’s womb she was conceived in.
"Which company invented the turboshaft engine?"
Once again, Li Yian tried hard to recall the books he had read or the information he had read online, the sequelae of time travel. ——In addition to a stronger body, there is also an enhancement of memory. Many things that have only been glanced at will be very clear when recalled, as if they are vividly remembered.
However...it seems that I haven't seen any information on this aspect.
"In the final analysis, I still read too little..."
While sighing, Li Yian recalled some neglected memory fragments and connected the messy memory fragments one by one. While I was driving, the car had already driven into the official residence. After returning to the study, I took out the notebook from the safe. After sketching the fragments together, I looked at the information on the fragments. Although there were many opportunities in this information, However, Li Yian, who was sitting in the swivel armchair, after thinking for a long time, glanced at the notebook in front of him and said softly:
“Now that history has become so fragmented, is it possible for these things to happen again? ”
No one can answer this question.
After all, the butterfly's wings have been flapping for a long time. I'm afraid only God knows how much change it will bring to the world...
