Chapter 365: Beyond the Ceiling
If it is another fighter, then it may be hesitant, but in the eyes of the F-16, there is no aircraft that can be compared with it, even if it is the F-15, when it comes to close combat, it is not necessarily better than the F-16's maneuverability, especially in horizontal circles.
F-16, it is completely the existence of the king, height, speed, you choose, no matter what the venue, F-16 can win!
Now, finding that Qin Feng was speeding up and climbing towards the sky, Hassan was also unambiguous, skillfully turning on the afterburner with his left hand, and holding the operating lever backwards with his right hand.
The operating lever of the F-16 is a force feedback, when he operates, there is no displacement, just feel the strength of the operator, the greater the force, the greater the amplitude of the action, now, Hassan is almost pulling the rod with all his strength, so, the F-16 is like a falcon, began to climb upwards at a large angle, obliquely inserted, and flew towards the airspace of Jian-7M!
At the high angle of attack, the air intake in the belly of the aircraft is still providing sufficient airflow, so that its flight can be smoother, although it is climbing, but its speed has not decreased!
If it climbs vertically, it will definitely lose speed, after all, the thrust-to-weight ratio is less than 1, and it can't be compared with the F-15 twin-engine fighter, but now it's just a large angle of attack climb, and its powerful F100 engine bursts out with a thrust of 105 thousand N, pushing a fighter of less than 12 tons, and the action is quite smooth.
Rise, rise again!
At this time, the J-7M fighter is still slowly climbing, and compared with the F-16, it can only rely on its own thrust of less than 6 tons, slowly swaying, fortunately, its body is slender and the air resistance is very small.
If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a pencil with wings and tail plugged in, so this kind of aircraft will also be called a pencil by some departments in the West, which is a very vivid nickname.
Sixteen thousand, seventeen thousand!
The J-7 can fly up to 20,000 meters, but what about the F-16? Its practical ceiling is actually only about 15,300 meters, and now, when it climbs more than 10,000 meters, Hassan feels that his climb is not as fast as it was just now, slower and slower, slower and slower.
The other party is simply using a shameless style of play!
As the flight altitude gradually increases, the density of the air decreases with the increase in altitude, so that the air resistance can be reduced, which seems to make the aircraft faster, but, on the other hand, the less dense the air, the less air intake into the engine in the same amount of time, and the thrust will generally decrease.
In this regard, the turbofan engine is more difficult than the turbojet, because the turbofan engine has an external duct, which increases the windward area while saving fuel, and the turbojet is naturally suitable for high-altitude and high-speed, and the turbofan will be weak in the later stage.
In the era of World War II, British fighter jets flew higher because the British mastered the advanced supercharger manufacturing technology, which could blow more air into the engine and fly in higher airspace.
Further up, it will be difficult to increase the altitude, at this time, this air combat confrontation is simply going to become an extreme confrontation competition, if you compare, the F-16 really can't fly to the height of J-7M.
You must know that the attack of air-to-air missiles is either level flight or chasing a target lower than yourself, and if you chase a target higher than yourself, it will soon fall because of the power problem.
If the opponent is always 300 meters taller than you, then stop fighting.
The thought crossed Hassan's mind.
In actual battles, air battles are rarely conducted in such airspace, after all, fighter air battles are only to provide bombing opportunities for their own bomber units, and the bombing will not be at particularly high altitudes, except for reconnaissance, it is almost useless.
Above fifteen thousand meters, there had hardly been an air battle, and now, Qin Feng seemed to be trying to lure him to 20,000 meters in the air?
When it comes to the ceiling, there is also the difference between the practical ceiling and the theoretical ceiling, the theoretical ceiling is higher, even if it exceeds the theoretical ceiling, it can also jump to a higher height by jumping, so if the F-16 wants to fight, it also has a chance.
At this time, it was already very cool outside, dozens of degrees below zero, Qin Feng was breathing the oxygen inside the oxygen mask, and at the same time, he was also paying attention to the bottom with his eyes.
This is the only place he can think of to fight the F-16, as long as he changes the airspace, then he will definitely lose.
The other party is really catching up, and now, the height has reached 17,000!
Forget it, if you climb up again, the F-16 won't be able to catch up, and at the current height, the other party is already out of breath, right? Therefore, you should also accept it when you see it, and you can't let the other party be too depressed.
Qin Feng looked at the F-16 below, and slowly chased him up, and when the other party climbed to 16,000 meters, it already seemed that he couldn't fly.
That's right, Hassan felt that his plane couldn't fly anymore, and after 16,000 years, it was quite difficult to climb up again, and he looked at the target a thousand meters higher than himself from the goggles, and he had a special impulse, he wanted to wave his fist and say to the other party, come down, there is a kind of you come down!
It's like chess, when you get to the last few discs, no one will kill the other person, and that's the way it is.
As if hearing Hassan's greetings, Qin Feng pushed the operating stick, and the Jian-7 fighter began to dive down from a height of 16,000 meters!
As a high-altitude and high-speed fighter, in fact, to the high altitude, the performance will be much lower than the low altitude, where the air is thin, which means that the lift of the wing will become smaller, if the operation is more violent, then there may be a terrible wing stall, followed by a tailspin.
"Down, down!" At this time, on the ground, everyone can only watch this battle through the radar display, which has never appeared before.
Just, is that okay?
Qin Feng didn't know, but he had to give it a try!
Dive down and fire with the cannon!
Qin Feng knew that if he wanted to use missiles, he could only go around the back of the other party, at high altitude, the hovering speed of the F-16 was not bad, and he did not have any advantage, so it was better to directly use the cannon to fight in this situation, rely on the advanced head-up display system, lock on to the target, and then kill him!
The shadow of the J-7M fighter is almost all reflected in the bubble cockpit of the F-16. Hassan suddenly found that it was not bad for him to lie down and fly like this, and the plane that was swooping down overhead could also be easily seen.
Now, what should he do?
Hassan pushed his lever forward with all his might. I want to talk about "Great Power Aviation" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
