If you talk about the confrontation with the Tu-95, this is definitely not the first time, in the past, the two sides had close contact, but in the past, the two sides were tense, and they did not find out how fast the Tu-95 flew.

Therefore, in NATO's analysis, a propeller like the Tu-95 can fly at a top speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour, which is already very good, but who would have thought that this time it actually flew to more than 800 kilometers per hour.

If you want to imitate a jetliner, you have to fly at high speeds, and Nathan is not lying, because the radar on the ground has also recorded it, but this is too bizarre, so someone will still ask the question.

"Say, Nathan, you see best in the air." Emily encouraged her.

Now, Nathan already knows the truth of talking less, he didn't plan to say anything, but now he is the most vocal, and it is time to say something.

"I saw very clearly from the air, when it was flying at high speed, the speed of the propeller was not fast." Nathan said.

For propeller aircraft, the faster the speed, the higher the propeller speed, and even the speed of the edge of the propeller will reach the speed of sound, which is why the propeller aircraft cannot fly fast, and the sound barrier is waiting there.

And now, Nathan says that the other party is flying fast, but the propeller speed is not fast, what does this mean?

Emily thought first: "In other words, this is a pseudo-propeller, when it flies fast enough, the power of the aircraft mainly comes from the jet engine, and the propeller is just a propeller to reduce drag?" ”

Emily was sent by the CIA and an expert in this area, otherwise how could she be in charge of the exchange students? And now, she quickly guessed it, and it basically matched the facts.

This made Nathan admire.

"Yes, that's also my guess, at low speeds, the propellers are used, and at high speeds, jet propulsion is used, combining the advantages of both powers." "I also observed the trail of condensate vapor in the air from the heat wave ejected from its tail, but unfortunately I didn't have a camera," Nathan said. ”

One of the characteristics of jet engines is that at the right altitude, there will be a trajectory of water vapor condensed along the way, which becomes a graceful elongated white cloud in the air.

"That's too whimsical, isn't it?" One of the pilots couldn't help but say.

What is the saying in the future? Poverty limits your imagination. During the Cold War, there were many brain-opening ideas, and many of them were successfully converted into actual combat.

When the words came to his mouth, Nathan said unconsciously: "What is this, there are many similarities, for example, in order to achieve hypersonic flight, it is best to use a ramjet engine, but the ramjet engine does not work at low speed, then you can design a special turbine engine, at low speed it is a turbojet, at high speed it is a turbojet, and at high speed it turns off the compressor in front of it, and blows the wind directly to the combustion chamber, which is a ramjet engine." ”

What Nathan said is the principle of the SR-71 Blackbird engine, which is almost said out of his mouth, but, after saying it, Nathan regretted it, not good, in this era, the Blackbird is a confidential project! Surely no one knows about these air force personnel in front of them.

Whatever, he just put forward a theory, which is completely feasible theoretically.

At this moment, Emily hid her surprise, now Nathan, as if there are countless mysteries, is waiting for himself to unravel it, well, as an intelligence officer, he enjoys the process of decryption the most.

Tonight, didn't you say you'll see you at the bar? Thinking of this, Emily was actually a little confused, and even waited for the evening to come soon.

Just then, outside, a signal soldier walked in.

"The order just received from the Admiralty, Captain Nathan Scott and Lieutenant Steve Vaane, immediately terminated the activities of the Navy exchange students, went to report to the Miramar Air Station in San Diego, California, and reassigned to the VF-124 squadron."

The order came quickly.

Obviously, the top brass of the Navy already knew what Nathan was doing here, he gave the Navy a long face, and also slapped the Air Force a few times, and Nathan did have some outrageous behavior in this operation.

Emily, who was on the side, immediately knew what was going on.

After Nathan's landing, General Richard must have reported the matter, it's not good, now the Air Force top brass is fighting with the Navy top brass, one asks to suppress Nathan, he is too lawless and almost caused a world war, and the other asks for a reward for Nathan, brave and skilled, he should be awarded a medal!

In order to avoid any grievances Nathan suffered in the Air Force, the Navy simply transferred Nathan away!

It's a pity, I was going to have a good chat with Nathan tonight, this man gives people a heartbeat feeling that hasn't appeared in a long time.

When they heard the news, the Navy exchange students present immediately showed envious eyes.

Miramar Air Station in San Diego, California, is a place for everyone to visit!

Just like the pilots of the Soviet Union wanted to fly the MiG-25, the pilots of the US Navy couldn't wait to fly the F-14 fighters!

Grumman's F-14 fighter is a two-seat twin-engine supersonic multi-purpose carrier-based fighter developed by Grumman in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Navy's fleet air defense and escort in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, to replace the Navy's F-4 "Phantom". It mainly performs tasks such as fleet defense, interception, strike, and reconnaissance.

This is the first third-generation fighter in the world to enter service! Its variable sweep wing shape, its majestic posture, and its powerful AWG-9 radar and immortal bird missile are simply the most eye-catching stars of everyone!

The aircraft began to be developed at the end of '67, with the first prototype flight on December 21, '70, and delivery in May 1972. Now hundreds of them have been equipped.

For naval aviation, being able to fly the F-14 is the most fascinating, and this Mirama Air Station is a training base for pilots and ground crews who train F-14 fighters!

They are extremely envious of the Nathan crew.

The second-generation aircraft ghost, using backward turbojet engines, low thrust-to-weight ratio, and weak radar performance, is simply not enough to dominate the future sky, and the F-14 fighter will be the king of the future air!

Hearing the news, Nathan was also stunned, F-14 fighter? The world's strongest carrier-based aircraft, even in the later generations, only the J-15 can match it, I didn't expect that not long after coming to this world, I will be flying this powerful fighter?

In the dark, my luck is really good!
