When Zhou Qingfeng was considering his own carrier-based aircraft, he immediately ruled out jet aircraft. Not to mention the lack of technology and personnel, the consumption of several tons of fuel in just one flight can make him with only a small refinery.
Total bankruptcy.
Propeller-powered aircraft equipped with piston engines became the only option. But..., there were not many choices.
The first thing that can be considered is the 'Super Tucano', the pride of Embraer. This is a rare propeller fighter aircraft in the jet age. Its onboard weapons and equipment are quite advanced. The 'Aurora Legion' that controls Embraer has already
Got quite a few of these planes.
But this aircraft has a huge flaw - the take-off and landing distances are more than 300 meters, and it cannot be used on an aircraft carrier without using ejection and blocking technology. But even if ejection and blocking technology are used, the aircraft body that has not been specially strengthened will be completely destroyed
tear.
SO...,pass!
Zhou Qingfeng considered returning to the real world to modify the JJ6, but the power of the trainer aircraft was too small, the speed was slow, and the distance between takeoff and landing was more than 300 meters. It was the same as the Super Tucano. Pass.
Do I want to use modified transport five?
The Yun-5 is a biplane with a short take-off and landing distance of less than 200 meters. It can take off and land on the Kennedy without any ejection blocking. But the Yun-5 is a transport aircraft, with a cruising speed of only 100
Six, do you want to drive out and let people hunt turkeys?
If we can’t use modern aircraft, I can always use carrier-based aircraft from World War II!
The F6F Hellcat and the F4U Corsair were both immediate choices. These two aircraft were originally carrier-based aircraft of the United States. They can take off from an aircraft carrier without using a catapult, but they require arresting wires to land.
.The most troublesome thing is where can Zhou Qingfeng find these two antique airplanes?
"You want us to help you find carrier-based aircraft produced by the Americans during World War II? Do you also want to think about how to use arresting cables or land without arresting cables?" Xiao Jinlang knew that Zhou Qingfeng's requests were very strange every time.
Everything is there, antique carrier-based aircraft and the like really don’t mean anything.
But the problem is that there is no such thing in China!
"Actually, I just want a propeller-type carrier-based fighter jet that can be used on an aircraft carrier. A dozen or so of them should be enough. But I need to actually fly the aircraft carrier to see it. Naturally, I have to let Fisherman No. 16
The government ship has cooperated."
Zhou Qingfeng made his request as clear as possible. Xiao Jinlang recorded it carefully and then reported it to his superiors. Naturally, this situation first reached the ears of the navy generals and aviation forces, and everyone said: This is
That teasing request?
But the superiors ordered to study this issue, so naturally I did it. The results of the study were quickly put in front of Zhou Qingfeng - it's no problem if you want F6F or F4U.
Americans have produced a lot of these two aircraft. Although it has been decades ago, there are still many military museums abroad collecting them, but are you sure you want to buy them?
Why do you ask this? Because it is very expensive, not ordinary expensive!
It is a collectible with special meaning and value.
The reason why the navy answered like this is that he still didn't know who asked the question, and just wanted to put the difficulties out there so that the funny guy with an open mind could give up this strange idea.
Well, it’s not a low-value item that cannot be transported, or it can only be PASSed.
Oh my God! What should we do? I have the most powerful aircraft carrier in the world, but I don’t have a suitable carrier-based aircraft. After saying this, the PLA Navy, which is so miserable that it can only operate the No. 16 fishery administration ship, is determined to
Vomited three liters of blood.
Just when Zhou Qingfeng was worried, the Air Force, who didn't know where to get the news, suddenly sent a reply: Have you considered launching the -11?
La-11? Soviet product, a piston engine propeller aircraft in the late World War II. The Chinese Air Force once equipped more than a hundred of them. It has made great achievements in combat and has seen blood. Due to the advent of the jet age, it was quickly eliminated.
But can this thing be used as a carrier-based aircraft?
of course!
The Air Force said that as long as the engine is powerful enough, bricks can fly into the sky. If you clean the armaments warehouse, you can pull out dozens of broken La-11s. They should still be usable after repairing them. This is not a problem for military industry personnel.
!
One of the major features of this kind of aircraft is that it has a relatively light fuselage, a powerful engine, high speed, and strong firepower, and it absolutely doesn’t cost you any money, so it’s free!
Wait..., what is the takeoff distance of this thing? It can't fly on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
This question is too simple, get on the booster rocket!
It has been said that as long as there is enough power, bricks can fly into the sky!
When taking off, you attach two booster rockets, and you fly up quickly. You can also take off with a full load of fuel and bombs. The booster rocket thing shouldn't be too simple. We can help you get it done in minutes. Our country makes this kind of gift
The stuff of taking people to heaven or sending people to the west is so experienced.
Zhou Qingfeng was a little stunned when he received this answer. He really had never thought about using ordinary World War II fighters as carrier-based aircraft, but the Air Force was quite active in promoting the La-11.
People even said: Even if the -11 is not good, they can still go to other countries to get other planes. For example, Mao Xiong has a lot of junk ones, which are guaranteed to be cheap and won’t cost a lot of money.
The Emotional Air Force has already reacted. The person who would ask for such teasing conditions must be the mysterious figure who plays tricks on people. Although Zhou Qingfeng's identity has not been exposed, the top brass in the military already know that this person is related to the recent scandal that shocked the entire military world.
Powered armor has something to do with it.
As for power armor, the Air Force said: We need this thing very much!
Why do you, a plane pilot, need powered armor? That thing is really not a mecha, it is a land warfare weapon and cannot fly!
The Air Force said: What we want is land warfare weapons. In addition to those who fly in the sky, we also have the most miserable airborne troops!
The feeling of airborne troops going deep behind enemy lines sounds very majestic, but the combat mission is very dangerous and the mortality rate is extremely high. In a combat environment where you are naturally surrounded and there are no heavy weapons, this is really a game for the brave. Even if there are airborne tanks now
, each one is a thin-skinned meat bun with large fillings.
Every airborne battle in history has been accompanied by heavy casualties of airborne troops, even the two airborne divisions of the United States. The airborne troops are definitely the most unlucky of all the military services, and none of them are happier than the Marine Corps.
When the Air Force learned about the distribution of energy batteries for power packs, they immediately wanted to get involved. If the airborne troops falling from the sky were no longer two-legged bastards, but murderers wearing power armor and carrying heavy weapons, who could compete with them?
Confrontation?
If powered armor can increase the combat effectiveness of ordinary infantry by ten times, then once the airborne troops are equipped with powered armor, the title of flying infantry will truly be deserved, and the combat effectiveness can be increased by a hundred times.
"As long as we give us half of the quota for this power package, we will take care of the carrier-based aircraft!" In order to be the first to get the big weapon that changes the military balance, the leaders of the Air Force patted their chests and made sure.
"But..., you used booster rockets to push the La-11 into the sky, what about the landing? The La-11 can't land on the aircraft carrier!" Zhou Qingfeng still had doubts.
Hi..., isn't this easy? If you can't use a blocking rope, just use a blocking net!
The blocking net is a spare blocking equipment on the aircraft carrier, which is used when the blocking rope cannot be used. Although using the blocking net will affect the life of the aircraft, just throw it away after use! Do you also want to use it for half a century?
Ah... that makes sense. If you can't hang the blocking rope, just hit the blocking net. If the plane is useless, it will be useless. Just keep the pilot. Anyway, it is not intended to be used for a long time.
