Chapter 785 It would be great if the sea-wearing ones are here too
It makes sense that it's not just the weight that's needed, but the positioning that's needed.
"Chief Engineer Gao, can you tell us what you think those positions need to be used for?" Comrades from the Air Installation Bureau are always in the first echelon of interest in this.
"That's definitely no problem. That's what I came for in the first place, hahaha." Gao Zhendong said with a smile.
"In the space at the tail, as a maritime patrol aircraft, the most suitable equipment to install is not the aerial cannon, but the magnetic anomaly detector." Gao Zhendong said.
"Magnetic anomaly detector?" The comrades here were all confused. Although they themselves would later propose to install this thing on the Be-6, at this time, basically no comrades had any idea about magnetic anomaly detectors.
Citigroup's P-3 anti-submarine patrol aircraft is still under testing. It is impossible for Lao Maozi to proactively provide information about such advanced anti-submarine equipment. He even has two questions about whether he has it himself.
"I wonder if you have ever been exposed to magnetic field prospecting? In fact, the principle is similar. Use magnetic detection equipment to detect places with abnormal magnetic field gradients. Under normal circumstances, the magnetic gradient in an area should be basically uniform and continuous. When the magnetic field in an area is detected, When there is a drastic change in the gradient, it means that there is a problem in this area. The problem may be mineral deposits or metals. If it is placed on the sea, if there is a change in the magnetic gradient in a sea area that seems to have nothing, then the biggest problem will be. There are two possibilities: metal shipwrecks and submarines.”
As Gao Zhendong spoke, the eyes of the National Defense Work Committee lit up.
As those of us who regard "air-to-submarine speed" as the current main direction of naval construction, we love and hate submarines. What we love is that this thing is our own equipment, which is really good, but what we hate is that if this thing reaches the enemy In hand, it is really difficult to do.
Before Gao Zhendong proposed the concept of large escort boats, the real main force in naval construction was chosen to be submarine hunting, which is the famous "Yellow Water Battleship" in later generations. It is not without reason.
Some technicians who attended the meeting knew something about this aspect: "This idea is indeed good. This method can work whether it is underwater or on the surface. It is not affected by seawater and does not require visibility. It is not like Sonar must also be in contact with water, which is indeed a good method for aircraft. ”
However, he is obviously not the only one who knows something about this: "This situation does occur with steel hulls, but now ships have begun to use aluminum alloys, or in order to combat magnetic mines, ships have generally begun to be degaussed. Submarines It is impossible to use aluminum alloy, but they will still do the degaussing step. In this way, regardless of whether it is technically feasible, in principle, it will be difficult to find the submarine after degaussing. "
Gao Zhendong shook his head: "Yes, demagnetization will indeed cause the situation you mentioned, but as long as its material is a conductor, there will inevitably be a magnetic field gradient change when it moves."
conductor? sports? Understood!
"What General Engineer Gao said makes sense! When a conductor moves in a magnetic field, it will produce changes in the magnetic field. Magnetism generates electricity, and electricity generates magnetism. This is high school physics. I forgot this truth just now. I apologize. I apologize. ”
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "To be honest, this is just an idea of mine. I don't know whether it will be implemented yet, but according to my analysis, Citi people are already working on this thing."
He did not say what the basis of his analysis and the source of intelligence were, because there was none. He relied entirely on memory. In 1962, the P-3 prototype had been released. It should have been undergoing test flights at this time, and there was one on the P-3. This equipment.
Other comrades did not pay attention to the fact that he did not reveal the basis. Firstly, it might be inconvenient to say, and secondly, the same materials can be analyzed differently when placed in the hands of different people. At the level of Chief Engineer Gao It is very normal for people to be able to see things that others cannot see from ordinary papers and materials.
"If that's the case, I'll entrust the Marine Installation Bureau to do some related work later." The chief engineer of the National Defense Work Committee is very interested in this, but in this place, this chicken ass can stay. How to do it? Magnetic anomaly detection The development of the device itself and other details are a matter for later.
He didn't even ask carefully why this chicken butt was the most suitable for installing a magnetic anomaly detector. No one knew anything about what a magnetic anomaly detector looked like. They only knew that Gao Zhendong said so, which made sense.
It is impossible for Gao Zhendong to launch a lengthy discussion about this thing at this meeting. Strictly speaking, the Navy is more interested in this thing, and until now, the Be-6 belongs to the Air Force.
"Let's put aside the things on the tail first. The space and weight saved by dismantling the turret in the middle can be used for the installation of at least two types of equipment." Gao Zhendong has not voted for future generations as "High-tech XX" for the time being. The ideas I came up with are currently not up to the technology. Let’s use the most practical and possible things to seduce everyone on the road first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.
As long as the comrades dressed in the air and in the sea can taste the benefits, needless to say Gao Zhendong, their ideas may be even more unconstrained than Gao Zhendong, the time traveler.
"Which two?"
"One is an infrared interference bomb, and the other is a sonar buoy." Gao Zhendong said.
In addition to infrared interference bombs against infrared air-to-air missiles, Gao Zhendong mainly considered that they could also deal with infrared portable air defense missiles. Some submarines actually have this thing on them, and when anti-submarine patrol aircraft use magnetic anomaly detectors, they generally fly at a height of no more than 1,000 meters, which is right within the strike range of portable air defense missiles.
"Infrared jamming bombs? This is okay. It can further improve the survivability of the aircraft." "Have infrared air-to-air bombs become popular to this extent now?"
"I don't know about others, but we are starting to popularize it ourselves."
"What is a sonar buoy?" This is where everyone is a little confused. They have never heard of this thing.
Gao Zhendong had no choice but to draw a picture on the blackboard to explain. Fortunately, although this thing was novel, it was not complicated in principle. It was just a wireless sonar.
"This thing is interesting. It can solve the problem of not being able to install towed sonar on aircraft."
"And they are very maneuverable. You can carry dozens of them on a plane and throw one away when needed. It can solve the problem very well."
"How can this thing be so small?"
"I don't know technically, but there is no problem in principle. It is worth studying. It would be great if someone can find out how to apply it for you. How do you expect to do it all for you?"
"I can't vouch for whether other people's suggestions can be realized, but what this person proposed is basically...hehe, it's not a big problem, it's not a big problem."
The chief engineer of the National Defense Work Committee regretted a little. This thing was a maritime patrol aircraft. Why didn't he think of calling the comrades from the navy over to check it out at first? In that case, there would be no need to make another trip, and you would have to relay it yourself.
Anyway, that’s it for now, Gao Zhendong simply shared his thoughts on the rack.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I don't have any objections to the modification of racks, but I do have a suggestion. Add two more racks to reach at least six. If it is really difficult to add racks, I suggest that the relevant manufacturers consider developing composite racks. Use one pylon to achieve the effect of mounting multiple weapons.”
"Zhendong, four racks are not enough now?" the chief engineer asked.
"Originally it was enough, but if you want to carry infrared air-to-air missiles for self-defense, four pylons are not enough. Two infrared air-to-air missiles take up two, and two infrared air-to-air missiles only weigh a few hundred kilograms. There are also With more than 3 tons of mounting capacity, only 2 racks are left, which is not enough.”
Originally, we had not considered mounting infrared air-to-air missiles for self-defense. Now that we add this thing, it seems that it is not enough. However, it seems that it is too late to add temporary pylons. Director Liu and the others are more interested in the composite pylon: "High Chief Engineer, what is the situation of the composite rack? Can you introduce it? ”
This thing looks simple, but in fact it is not so. In the high-speed era, the design of composite pylons is still very particular, especially the composite pylons used for missile weapons, which are more troublesome than those used for bombs.
Because the lift characteristics of the missile body are generally designed to be better than those of ordinary bombs, this will cause a problem. During high-speed flight, the missile is not very obedient. It is not that easy to rely on gravity to free fall and separate. , that thing really flies upwards, and it’s not uncommon for it to stick to the rack and just not move.
Since the missile is very close to the composite pylon, there are more things that need to be processed and considered.
In Gao Zhendong’s previous life, the composite pylon we used for guided weapons didn’t appear until the 21st century. In addition to not having much demand, there was actually some reason for the technical difficulty.
If this thing can be brought forward earlier and relevant units can be guided to take a step in this direction, it is actually not a bad thing. It is better than nothing.
Gao Zhendong told the other party about the composite pylon in detail, and at the end he emphasized: "Liu Suo, this composite pylon is different from the bomb hanging one. There are a little more things to consider. If you want If so, I hope you will not only consider low-speed aircraft like the Be-6, but also consider the requirements for composite pylons when using missiles on high-speed combat aircraft such as fighter jets.”
The comrade from the Air Loading Bureau had long been interested in everything Gao Zhendong said: "Yes, yes, this matter must be taken into consideration, Liu Suo, you don't know, sometimes the bomb load of our aircraft It is enough, but it cannot be hung up, which has also caused us a lot of trouble. If we can alleviate this problem through composite hangers, it will solve our big problem. ”
If nothing else, take the latest model of the Z-6 as an example. It uses a typical mount of 2 fuel tanks + 2 missiles. If you can have this thing, 2 fuel and 4 bombs, it would be really cool.
