Chapter 786 Why does it have to be like this?
With his words, this composite pylon actually has nothing to do with the modification of the Be-6, and is now being considered as a standard mounting accessory for the Air Force.
When Liu Suo heard that the Air Force wanted both and wanted more, he smiled and said: "Then we should still walk on two legs. Don't change the -6 pylon from 4 to 6. We will also make the composite pylon. Based on your requirements. , it is no longer suitable to be used as a mounting accessory for the Be-6, it must be made into a brand new standard part.”
After hearing this, the comrades of the Air Installation Bureau did not feel that they were trying to shirk the responsibility. On the contrary, they were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.
"Yes, yes, that's what we want. This thing, it's too wasteful to only use it on other-6s, Zhan-6s, and the Zha-5 attack type you are working on over there, these can be used, right? .”
Forget about fighting -5, it's outdated.
If the first day's work was all about discussion, analysis, consultation, and questioning, then the second day's work is the highlight, whether it's the mule or the horse that comes out for a ride.
——The modified pylon launch performance.
Performance means reporting on performance.
Gao Zhendong is actually quite curious. What can this thing report? In addition to air-to-air missiles, that is, traditional iron bombs, depth bombs, rockets, etc., these things can be thrown as before without changing. Even torpedoes, we have nothing that can be used by other -6.
But when the performance began the next day, Liu Suo, the others, and another group of people came out pushing weapons and hung them under the wings of the modified aircraft. Gao Zhendong laughed. He really didn't expect it to be them. What an unexpected surprise.
There are two weapons launched, one is a Thunder-1 infrared air-to-air missile, and the other is much larger. It is a new missile that no one has seen before, including Gao Zhendong himself, who has only seen pictures. , had never seen the real thing, but he could recognize what it was at a glance.
——New solid anti-ship missile.
As Gao Zhendong personally suggested and participated in the missile, he provided a lot of opinions and technology from aerodynamic appearance to internal structure. He couldn't recognize the missile. Apart from anything else, the missile body and body were exactly the same as the Jingjing-8 in the previous life. The elastic wings are enough to prove its identity.
Not to mention the guy hanging missiles there, Su Weihua.
This missile has no booster and looks shorter than the ship-launched/shore-to-ship version, making it more coordinated and graceful.
Liu Suo introduced to the participants: "Originally, we modified the pylon, but when we hung something on it, we had some difficulties. There was nothing to hang. Apart from infrared air-to-air missiles, we had no other guided weapons. That's it. At this time, the comrades engaged in air-launched anti-ship missiles found us. We were short of bombs and they were short of aircraft. "
For Su Weihua and others, they want to test the air-launched solid anti-ship missile, but they can't find a mount. The Z-5 has not been modified yet, let alone the other ones. The multi-purpose type of the Z-5 is also not available. Still under development, the Tu-4 has not been modified in this direction. After all, their ultimate mission is a special aircraft. Testing the long-range spreader does not require modification and is acceptable. There is no need to modify it specifically to launch missiles.
As a result, when the Air Installation Bureau learned about the Be-6 modification project, the two parties were so sleepy that they ran into each other and hit it off immediately.
"Are you sure about the new aircraft and new missiles?" asked the chief engineer of the National Defense Work Committee.
"We are sure. We have tried it. And in order to launch this missile, we have also made some modifications to the radar on the aircraft. It may not be enough for actual combat, but it is enough for testing."
For solid anti-ship missiles, as long as the target distance and orientation can be provided, it does not need to be too precise, just a big difference. Even in extreme cases, manual data input is not impossible in theory.
Su Weihua didn't have time to come over and talk to Gao Zhendong. After saying hello from a distance, he got on the plane with the comrades who modified the Be-6. He wanted to launch missiles on the Be-6 as a shooter. This matter changed the aircraft. The comrades are not as familiar to him.
Gao Zhendong waved to him and said hello. The chief engineer of the National Defense Work Committee smiled and asked: "Zhendong, are there any acquaintances over there?"
"Well, my college classmate is involved in the guidance system work of solid anti-ship missiles." Gao Zhendong nodded.
"Hey, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in your class." The chief engineer was very happy. The more students like this, the better.
"It's not bad. There is another classmate who is the person in charge of the guidance system of portable anti-aircraft missiles." Unknowingly, Lin Lianwei and Su Weihua had reached a higher level. This is nothing, Gao Zhendong knows that the chief engineer of several cutting-edge combat aircraft decades later was his roommate in college.
He said this in an understatement, but other comrades looked at him sideways. This class involves many types of missiles, a deputy chief engineer, a subsystem person in charge, and a core backbone of the guidance system. They are so awesome. yes.
It can be heard that Chief Engineer Gao's major is most likely in automation and the like. It can be seen from the fact that his two classmates are the core backbone of the guidance system. As for why he has ideas about magnetic anomaly detection, sonar, etc., this is his own ability. I waited for a long time for the plane to take off. The most special thing about the Bie-6 aircraft is that after its landing gear enters the water, it must be removed immediately. It does not have the ability to automatically retract and retract. Push the aircraft into the water and then remove the landing gear. If it lands After that, when you want to go ashore, the process is reversed, install the landing gear in the water, and then go ashore again.
Seeing that everyone was watching the ground crews busy installing the landing gear, the captain of the Be-6 explained: "The design of this aircraft is inherently like this, which is very troublesome. Generally speaking, we have a special maintenance dock, and the bomb loading can be completed on the dock. , ordinary maintenance and other work, there is no need to go up and down like installing the landing gear. ”
It is impossible to take off and land in the water with the landing gear. That thing extends into the water and the resistance is huge. Although it is not much bigger than the aircraft, but with it, it is impossible to take off with the mission load in the water. Night stories. The same is true for landing with the landing gear. The landing gear enters the water before the plane enters the water. The large resistance has a great impact on the flight attitude of the plane. If you are not careful, the plane will crash and everyone will die.
All I can say is that Lao Maozi’s habit of “just use it if you can” is really useful when it’s easy to use, and really disgusting when it’s disgusting. In fact, even Lao Maozi himself can’t stand this thing.
Liu Suo explained: "We also considered improving this matter to be able to automatically retract and retract, but it was extremely difficult to change it all the way. The original ship-shaped belly did not consider the space and management of the landing gear storage and related actuating mechanisms. road, and adding it in will affect the original For buoyancy design, if you want to stow it at the same time, the landing gear must also be redesigned. The related structure, mechanics, automatic control mechanism, etc. involve too wide a range, which will affect the design of the body itself. In the end, I found that I had no choice but to give up. .”
After hearing this, Gao Zhendong's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "Why should it be retracted into the fuselage? Why must it be fully automatic?"
When this sentence is said, everyone has different reactions.
Liu Suo was confused. Isn't this obvious? If it doesn't automatically store it back into the fuselage, why change it?
The Air Loading Bureau was thoughtful. He didn't know what Chief Engineer Gao meant, but Chief Engineer Gao must have his own meaning, and then this matter would be very interesting.
The National Defense Working Committee's eyes lit up. What did Gao Zhendong think? No matter what the idea is, it will definitely be helpful to this matter. Everything about this airplane is great, but the landing gear is just disgusting.
The other comrades were completely confused and did not understand what he was saying.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Gao Zhendong saw that none of them understood his ideas and explained them one by one.
"First let's talk about why it must be retracted into the fuselage. This aircraft is a low-speed aircraft, and its aerodynamic shape is already like that. To put it bluntly, even if you hang the landing gear outside the fuselage, it will not produce its basic flight performance. Any impact will not affect its use. At the same time, the aircraft has such a long range, and the external gear will have no impact on the landing gear.”
"You want to retract the landing gear, just because you don't want it to affect its take-off and landing operations in the water, that's all. From this perspective, Liu Suo, think about it, why do you have to retract this thing? Into the fuselage? Wouldn’t it be better to fold it backwards and hang it on the fuselage? As long as the folding mechanism is properly designed and the mechanical properties are satisfactory, there is no need to consider the buoyancy of the ship’s belly and the space inside the fuselage.”
After Liu Suo heard what Gao Zhendong said, he was immediately stunned.
Is this okay?
Uh... Thinking about it again, this seems to work!
For a moment, Liu Suo's mind was a little confused, and all kinds of thoughts came to him one after another.
Is this okay? It seems to work so well. Are you not taking your work seriously enough? None of the functions can be realized, being serious is useless...
But the thoughts of the B-6 captain and the people in the Aircraft Bureau are much simpler. Damn, yes, why does it have to be put into the body? As long as it can reduce the difficulty of ground maintenance and increase aircraft availability, it will be ugly.
"Liu Suo, Chief Engineer Gao's suggestion can really be considered."
"Yes, we focus on the main contradictions and put aside the secondary contradictions first."
Gao Zhendong pointed to the busy ground crew: "The second question is why it must be fully automatic."
He turned to ask the captain of Farewell-6: "Comrade captain, this plane can't take off and land on land, right?"
The captain shook his head: "Barely not."
Gao Zhendong turned back: "That's it, isn't it? The retracting and retracting of the landing gear has nothing to do with takeoff and landing under normal use. It only starts operating after it is stable on the water. Isn't that right?"
"That's right." With this posture of putting it on and taking it apart, it can't be done unless it's stable.
"Then why does it have to be fully automatic? If you have the ability, create an automatic folding and locking mechanism, and use electrical and mechanical backup to complete the last trembling after the aircraft stops or before taking off."
