Ren Wu Guozhi has rich combat experience, but he never expected that there is a kind of equipment in this world that can chase the enemy's fighter plane.
Therefore, Wu Guozhi said with a silly smile the next second: "Batalion Commander, please stop teasing me. Doesn't this rocket have eyes that can chase the Japanese plane..."
"Would you like it if you try?" Wang Xuexin interrupted Wu Guozhi.
He Zhimin pulled the wire and explained: "We use this wire to control. To put it simply, we install a sensor device on the control system of the 'Hawk 81', and then transmit the command to the X1 through the missile, and the fighter plane
X1 will do whatever it wants, and what you have to do is bite the enemy's tail for a while... Then, X1 will catch up with the enemy's fighter plane and explode at the position closest to the target!"
"That's the result of the proximity fuze!" Wang Xuexin added.
Wu Guozhi was a little confused when he heard this. This was a rocket that could automatically chase the enemy and had a proximity fuse. It was completely beyond his imagination.
By the way, Wu Guozhi is also a well-educated person, and he can be considered well-informed. After all, he has worked in the Jinsui Army for so many years and has flown many planes, but this bomb that can chase the enemy... is unheard of.
He couldn't wrap his head around it.
Seeing his dazed look, Wang Xuexin said impatiently: "Captain Wu, why do you care so much? Just know that this thing exists and learn to use it! No matter what the equipment is, as long as it can fight the Japanese
!The rest is none of your business, right?"
Wu Guozhi seemed to be frightened. He nodded slowly, and then he reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream, and asked again: "Batalion Commander, this... is this true?"
"What is real or fake?" Wang Xuexin found it funny: "Everything is placed in front of you, just waiting for you to use it. How can I still make fun of your lives?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Wu Guozhi hurriedly explained: "I mean...is there such a good thing?"
Then Wu Guozhi laughed like a fool: "This thing is great! No wonder the battalion commander asked us to practice level flying and rear-end chasing during this period! If we can fight the Japanese with this thing, where can the Japanese escape?"
Wang Xuexin replied: "In fact, I also hope to continue to implement the wave tail biting tactic, but the x1 also has shortcomings. It may cause problems if this thing is hung on the "Hawker 81' and then implements wave tail biting!"
This is the conclusion reached by He Zhimin after calculation.
For example, when X1 was first launched, its muzzle velocity was not high yet, but at this time "Hawker 81" was making a large-angle turn, so the instruction to X1 to turn a large angle was immediately given... When the muzzle velocity was not high,
If you make a sharp turn under such circumstances, it is easy to head towards your own aircraft.
Therefore, the stable flight of "Hawk 81" should be ensured when launching x1.
In fact, this is not just a problem with launching missiles during this period. Some modern stealth fighters using bomb bays also have this problem.
For example, the f35 was blown up by cents...
In the eyes of Mei Fen, this thing is the all-round crusher of China's fifth-generation machines.
As everyone knows, it is only a bomb bay, which is far from the Chinese fifth-generation aircraft: Because the F35 is a single-engine light fighter, due to volume and load restrictions, it uses a bomb bay without slide rails. The process of launching missiles is
Let the missile fall out of the bomb bay in free fall, then ignite and launch.
There are many shortcomings in this launch method.
Because the fuselage must be kept stable during launch, otherwise the missile falling out of the bomb bay is likely to hit its own fuselage.
During the period of time when the fuselage is kept stable and the bomb bay is opened to launch missiles (at this time, it is impossible to even turn invisible with the bomb bay open), it has almost become an excellent target for opponents and even third-generation aircraft.
Not much to say off topic.
At this time, Wu Guozhi could be said to be overjoyed. He didn't even know where to put his hands. He danced and said, "This is nothing, nothing! A range of 300 meters and a killing radius of 7.5 meters..."
Plus there’s that…”
"Proximity fuse!"
"Yes, it's a proximity fuze!" Wu Guozhi was stunned and then asked: "What is a proximity fuze?"
"You don't need to know that much!" Wang Xuexin replied: "It's the fuse that allows the bomb to explode at the closest distance to the enemy!"
"Yes, yes!" Wu Guozhi giggled: "Isn't that what happened? The Japanese didn't run away! Our machine gun cannot hit two hundred meters away. If it explodes, it will have a radius of 7.5 meters, which means it can be hit without a direct hit.
If it is shot down, wouldn't that mean installing an anti-aircraft gun on our plane?"
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but be stunned. What he said was really right. It was almost like bringing an anti-aircraft gun into the air.
Then Wu Guozhi couldn't wait to try it.
Of course I have to try it. After all, it has been tested on land before and never mounted on an airplane.
But it's not that quick to try, and it's even more troublesome than imagined.
The first step is to install a set of sensing equipment on the fighter plane, which can more accurately sense the pilot's movements and even the amplitude.
This may still be difficult for modern fighters, because most modern fighters have assist.
In this era, due to cost and technology issues, there was less help, so only mechanical induction was needed to do it, and then it was converted into electrical signals to send instructions to x1.
The second step is to install a roller with copper wire on the hanger.
These are not troublesome.
The trouble is there is no goal…
We can't let a "Hawk 81" fly in front, and the "Hawk 81" behind us can shoot down the one in front with the x1!
But if there is no target for test flights and test firings, there is not much meaning.
One is because I don’t know if this thing is accurate, that is, whether it can change the trajectory and pursue the goal as Wang Xuexin hopes.
The other is, if there is no target... why does the proximity fuse never explode?
What if the proximity fuse could even target one's own aircraft under certain conditions?
These uncertainties will put "Hawker 81" in danger.
In the end, I had no choice but to use an uncharged "high-fire" drone as a target drone.
In order to make it a perfect target aircraft and be captured by the proximity fuze, He Zhimin also covered the surface of the target aircraft with iron sheet... The total weight will not exceed the standard because there is no charge in the fuselage, 800 kilograms of charge.
It was replaced with iron sheet. Not only was it not overweight, but the nose was too light. In the end, some loess had to be added to the nose.
For safety reasons, the test firing was conducted during the day.
The first test launch was a success. Wu Guozhi flew the fighter plane after the "high fire" for a certain distance, then deliberately pressed the fighter plane under the "high fire" and fired x1 before pointing at the "high fire".
I saw x1 turn a corner, and then with a "boom", it accurately hit the "high fire" and blew it into pieces in the air.
