readx; Guan Shijie said casually, these requirements were all improvised by him, he expected that jet aircraft would not be able to be used on those old aircraft carriers, and the restrictions on Qingshan-class aircraft carriers would be relatively large, but the surnames used on Tianshan-class aircraft carriers may be very large. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, jet planes' high take-off speeds and glide distances are still issues that need to be addressed.

At this point, Guan Shijie hopes that the current hydraulic catapult can solve this problem, and in the future, he hopes that the steam catapult can be successfully developed and put into service as soon as possible. About the catapult this kind of thing, in fact, it is not an advanced concept, the navies of various countries have long been equipped and equipped, and the types are also diverse, the most mature and widely used is the flywheel catapult, which is a mechanical catapult, mainly equipped in large quantities on battleships, light and heavy cruisers of various countries, and is used to catapult the seaplanes carried during navigation. Some early aircraft carriers, such as the Lexington-class aircraft carrier in the United States, and the four older aircraft carriers built in China during the twenties, were also equipped with this catapult.

In addition, there are compressed air catapults, several British aircraft carriers are equipped with this kind of catapults, and the Chinese Navy in the late twenties, focusing on hydraulic catapults, and successively equipped with aircraft carriers at all levels, Tianshan-class aircraft carriers and Qingshan-class aircraft carriers are equipped, but in this era, whether it is hydraulic, flywheel, or compressed air, the actual role of these catapults is very limited, and the value in actual combat application is not too great. Because the take-off speed of propeller aircraft in this era was very low, catapults were basically not used unless there were special circumstances.

However, the take-off speed of jet aircraft is very high, and the weight also becomes extremely large, and it is difficult to achieve short take-off without the assistance of catapults.

Guan Shijie already had the idea of introducing jet fighters into the navy in his heart, and this idea made him have a simple conversation with Manager Fan of Chuzhou Aircraft Company, as for how to achieve the jet carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, this problem Guan Shijie also felt a little difficult for a while, he is not a technician, and it is impossible to directly think of too many problems to solve, his work surname is actually similar to Chen Jingyun, set goals for the navy, and then let those professionals solve the specific technology.

While Guan Shijie and Manager Fan were talking in a low voice about the Navy's jet carrier-based aircraft, Chen Jingyun was also talking to several high-level officials of the Air Force.

"The current aircraft still has relatively big limitations in technology, such as the problem of loss of control after high-speed dive, and the firepower is also slightly weaker, now it is a 12.7 mm machine gun, the firepower is too weak for his weight, I think it can be equipped with a small-caliber cannon, some time ago the F5 fighter was not experimentally equipped with a 25 mm cannon, I think it can be equipped with this aircraft. In addition, I still hope that the Air Force can launch an improved model as soon as possible, and as for this test machine, it can be used as an early production surname equipment! In the face of the Air Force's hope to equip a large number of F10 fighters in a short period of time, Chen Jingyun still gave a denial, because China does not have much urgent demand for jet fighters in a short period of time, and China's propeller aircraft still occupy the leading surname advantage, in addition, Chen Jingyun is also a little difficult to grasp the specific time of China's participation in the war, but even if it is early, it will not participate in the war now, and there will be a relatively long buffer time.

Technology is advancing so fast now that a few months is enough time to launch a facelifted model of an aircraft, and the X10A is no exception.

In the face of Chen Jingyun's request, Lin Feiyang of the Air Force said: "There will not be much problem with the adjustment of some design details, and if the number of equipment is small, the unit price will be higher!" Please rest assured that the air force is currently working on the research and development of the follow-up model, and it is expected to be successful in a short period of time! ”

In order to win Chen Jingyun's financial support, Lin Feiyang did not hesitate to lay down the package ticket, but with the Air Force's tradition of skipping tickets many times over the years, it is a question mark whether it can be successfully realized, anyway, no one knows how long it will take for the Air Force to improve the design flaws on the X10A and launch a major facelift model.

After watching the X10A aircraft, Chen Jingyun also took the opportunity to watch the flight show of the B19 four-engine strategic bomber, and the X10 project is still in the test stage, the B19 project has been determined in the first half of the year, the XB19R test aircraft developed by Chuzhou Aircraft Company at that time defeated the XB19C test aircraft of Guang'an Aircraft Company, thus obtaining an order from the Air Force.

The XB19 project was developed by the Air Force as a bomber project in the forties, and like the B11, which began its initial design and development in the late twenties, the B11 project at that time was also developed as a bomber project in the thirties. The original design goal was to have an ultra-long-range bomber to bomb the enemy's mainland during the 40s, requiring a range of more than 12,000 kilometers, and the research and development plan was larger and more demanding than the B15 program.

However, the development of the XB19 program was several years later than the B15 program, so it had a leading edge in design from the beginning, and in the end, the B15 program was directly replaced by the XB19 program due to difficulties, becoming the only ultra-long-range bomber in the Chinese Air Force.

For this bomber, Chen Jingyun asked for only one goal, that is, to be able to carry a nuclear bomb and throw it to the United States. Of course, the Air Force did not know that China had a nuclear bomb program, and Chen Jingyun did not plan to tell them now, so Chen Jingyun's request to the Air Force was to require a bomber capable of carrying four tons of bombs to bomb the US mainland. Specifically, the range is ultra-long, and the maximum range of the bomb load is only a mere four tons, of course, if the range is reduced, the bomb load can be greatly increased. If you want to bomb the mainland of the United States, the research of the Air Force is that it is best to deploy in the extreme north of the Russian Republic, and then fly through the Arctic Circle to the United States, so that the flight range can be effectively shortened, otherwise it will take off from the Chinese mainland, even if it is a flight of tens of thousands of kilometers, there is no return, and it will not even fly to the east coast of the United States.

To achieve the design and development of such an ultra-long-range intercontinental bomber, the technical difficulty is conceivable, Chuzhou Aircraft Company even specially developed a high-thrust liquid-cooled engine, of course, its biggest technical feature is not greater thrust, but very low fuel consumption, to carry out ultra-long-range flight, the fuel consumption of the engine is very important.

In order to be able to achieve an ultra-long range of 12,000 kilometers, the B19 not only uses a low-fuel consumption engine, but also has a relatively slow speed, only about 600 kilometers, and at the same time almost the entire aircraft is filled with fuel, and in the maximum fuel mode, the bomb load is only a pitiful 4.5 tons, which is not even comparable to the B11 bomber.

However, the B19 bomber was designed and developed from the beginning to carry nuclear bombs, and the estimated weight of the nuclear bomb is only between four and five tons, so for the nuclear bomb carrier, there is no need for too much load capacity, the most important thing is that the ceiling, range, and even slower speed are acceptable, because the XB19 strategic bomber requires a flight altitude of more than 12,000 kilometers, which almost makes the fighters in service and in service in the next five years can only sigh at the B19 bomber.

Only after countries develop jet fighters with a maximum ceiling, such as the F86 or MiG-15, can it actually shoot down the B19.

After all, although China's aviation technology is developed, it is still unable to defy the sky, and now they are not able to build bombers with a range of tens of thousands of kilometers and a bomb volume of more than 10 tons at the same time. This is actually a trade-off between bomb load and fuel load, the lower the bomb load, the more fuel, the smaller the bomb load.

At the same time, in order to reduce air resistance and achieve a more economical cruising state, the fuselage of the B19 is very slender, and it can even be said to be slim, and the fuselage is very narrow compared to the bombers of the same era.

The unit price of the first batch of sixteen small-batch production models B19A is three million yuan, which is not the total price of sixteen, but refers to the unit price of a B19A, and the F10 jet fighter is expensive enough to be nothing compared to one, the first batch of purchase price F10 is only 150,000 yuan of unit price, buy a B19 can buy 20 F10 fighters, this is not a lot of maintenance funds, this B19 is a very delicate thing, It is very cumbersome and expensive to maintain.

Naturally, such an expensive B19 Air Force cannot buy too much, there are three prototypes, the first batch of production models B19A has sixteen, four have been delivered, and the rest are still under construction.

Compared with the extreme design and expensive cost of the B19 bomber, the B16 bomber is much more low-end, the design goal of the B16 bomber is to replace the B11 bomber to become the main force of the strategic bomber group of the Chinese Air Force, the requirement is to have an excellent surname-price ratio, compared with the B11 bomber has an increase in range and bomb load, and the final design is a maximum range of 5,500 kilometers, and it can reach a range of 4,000 kilometers when carrying 2.5 tons of bombs. The overall surname can be much better than the B11 bomber, and the technical conditions are not as demanding as the B19 requirements, so the technical cost is cheaper, and the output will be relatively high, and the cost will be reduced a lot after the amortization, the purchase price of a B16 is currently 600,000 yuan, which is basically the price of ten contemporaneous advanced propeller fighters. It's not cheap but it's not too expensive, and the price can be further reduced after mass production in the later stage.

More than 2,000 B11 bombers, and the B16 bomber, which is currently in mass production, will soon form China's main strategic bomber group. At the same time, there were some twin-engine bombers, namely the B12 bomber and the old B8 series bomber, and then there were the front-line support bombers B13 bomber.

As for the B19 bomber, this is a special product, expensive construction, and special design leads to its existence as a nuclear bomb carrier, and conventional bombing is not its mission.

After visiting and inspecting these new models of the Air Force, Chen Jingyun finally approved the Air Force's funding application, and allocated an additional 120 million yuan to the Air Force for the F10 fighter project and the B19 ultra-long-range bomber project, and when Chen Jingyun approved the Air Force's application for this funding, the Navy and the Army heard the news and expressed the need to increase military spending, and finally the contradiction between the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force broke out again in the proportion of military expenditure distribution in 1941. The generals of the navy, land and air force who were noble and afraid of being tired of saying more than a word personally rolled up their sleeves, waved their fists, and spewed saliva to compete with each other for the share of military spending in 1941, and Lin Changzhang, the head of the military intelligence department with the lowest rank in a large group of generals, looked extremely helpless and depressed, and he had to pour tea and water with the lowest rank, and the funds of the military intelligence department could not be earned, and it depended on the color of the navy, land and air force. Fortunately, a little bit of slag in the three armies is enough for the military intelligence department to spend. And what really makes Lin Changzhang depressed at this time of year is that all the military generals and bigwigs at this time have begun to lose face one by one, and they will not give others face at all, many generals and bigwigs will be younger than him next year, but all of them regard themselves as seniors, Shen Gang and Zuo Yugang are even more open-mouthed Xiaolin, closed Xiaolin. Zuo Yugang even Guan Shijie sarcastically shouted 'Little Jiezi' at the military expenditure distribution meeting.

According to Lin Changzhang, director of the Military Intelligence Division, who has the smallest position and the lowest rank in the annual military expenditure distribution meeting, the scene at this time of year is extremely hot, and slapping the table is a trivial matter than fighting with strength, and in the mid-thirties, there were also cases of Zuo Yugang of the army pulling out a gun and Guan Shijie of the navy drawing a knife to resist, but fortunately there were no casualties, otherwise it would be a big problem to injure a person casually, and later Chen Jingyun personally gave instructions. It is stipulated that no one in the military expenditure allocation meeting shall carry a knife or a gun. And Zuo Yugang called Guan Shijie Xiao Jiezi, because of this conflict, the intention was to satirize Guan Shijie as a eunuch, no soft eggs, the reason is that the two quarreled fiercely when the military funds were allocated, and finally Zuo Yugang pulled out a gun, Guan Shijie pulled out a knife, but the knife to the gun obviously did not have the upper hand, so Guan Shijie shouted to call the guards in anger, and then gave Zuo Yugang the hat of trying to murder his colleagues......
