The Navy and the Air Force are seriously competitive, and now both sides want to get orders from the BS countries.

For the Navy, which is on the verge of bankruptcy due to Grumman's financial crisis, will be able to survive this crisis if there is an order from the BS country.

And for the Air Force, their F-15 is also facing a big problem, in which the quality of the engine is not up to par is the key, resulting in the fighter often lying on the ground, if there is an order from BS country, there will be sufficient funds to improve the engine.

Both sides want it.

Well, if you know the performance data of the Air Force fighters, it can be perfectly suppressed, the Navy does know some data, but definitely not as much as an intelligence officer like Emily.

"Don't embarrass Emily." "She has her own principles, and I know where our weaknesses are without her," Nathan said. ”

Emily can't be embarrassed, she's definitely breaking her principles by doing so.

Sure enough, after Nathan's words were finished, Emily looked at him with grateful eyes. Nathan continued: "The biggest disadvantage is the engine, the F-15 uses the F100 engine, this third-generation engine, the thrust-to-weight ratio is quite perverted, in the case of turning on the afterburner, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine is more than 1, which makes it climb vertically quite well." ”

The third-generation engine in the United States is quite tough, how strong? The American engine of this era is already the same standard as the Taihang of later generations, and the Taihang is 30 years behind!

Even the Su-27 engine cannot be compared with the American engine in terms of fuel consumption rate and life, although the American engine is still very bad, but after all, it is already an anti-heaven existence, and the Americans are in the aero engine, as if they have zenith technology.

The F-15 fighter can easily make a vertical climb action, which is the most eye-catching, but the Tomcat fighter is not easy, and the thrust of the TF30 engine is seriously insufficient.

At this moment, Nathan's mind suddenly thought of a temporary replacement, in this era, the British Spey engine is quite mature, mature to the point that even the United States is full of praise, and historically, the Spey engine has a planned modification TF41, which is intended to be used in the Tomcat fighter, but unfortunately the F110 engine has matured.

And now, I wonder if you can do this?

Forget it, I'm not a senior leader in the Navy, this kind of thing is still decided by the top, I'm a little pilot, there's no need to take everything on myself.

"So how do we fix it?" General Thomas asked.

"We can fill less gas." Nathan broke the sky with a single word, and everyone present immediately laughed.

Fighter jets have a fuel load of several tons at every turn, the MiG-25 has a fuel load of nearly 20 tons, and the Tomcat fighter has an in-flight fuel load of 7.3 tons.

If you only carry a small amount of fuel, the weight of the fuselage will be greatly reduced, and the aircraft will be more smooth and agile when moving.

Sure enough, Nathan's brain is smart.

Vice Admiral Thomas nodded: "Yes, let's do this, originally the king of the BS country has taken a fancy to our Tomcat fighters, and the Air Force has to come out to stir things up, this time give them some color to see, let the Air Force know that our Navy is not easy to bully." ”

Nathan had abused the Air Force as a Navy before, and this time he will start the mode of abusing the Air Force again.

"And what are the advantages of our Tomcat fighter?" Thomas continued, discovering that Nathan's brain wasn't the average nimble.

If you want to win the order of the BS country, you must have an advantage, and compared with the fighters of the Air Force, where is the advantage of your own side?

"The biggest advantage is the combination of our Tomcat fighter and the Immortal Bird missile." "BS has a vast territory and borders that are high mountains, and no matter how many radars they build on the top of the mountains, it is impossible for them to have no dead ends, and at the same time, in the event of a war, those radar stations are the first targets to be removed," Nathan said. ”

Generally speaking, the fighters in service have more technical advantages, and the F-15 should be more powerful than the F-14, but the radar is not like this, for the radar, an immutable truth is that the larger the caliber, the better the detection performance of the radar.

The radar caliber of the AWG-9 is close to 1 meter, while the APG-63's is only 84 centimeters, which reacts to the detection target, and if the former can be detected at a distance of 160 kilometers, then the latter can only be detected at a distance of 100 kilometers.

This long-range interception capability has always been the envy of F-15 pilots, and this is what the BS country needs most.

It will help BS countries to better defend their skies.

In addition to this biggest advantage, that is the beauty of the variable swept wing, in later generations, the tomcat retired, the BS national cat lingered, a group of military fans are quite sorry, when the tomcat wing changes, that beauty is pleasing to the eye, in the movie Top Gun, it has repeatedly appeared many times, and now, the king of the BS country is definitely also a Tomcat fan.

As long as he sees the performance, he will definitely choose it, besides, this is a completely successful military procurement project in history, how can Nathan be under pressure?

Although what happened later made the BS national cat an opponent of the US Navy, but those are all later, and the future, let's talk about it later, now let's promote the order first, so that the tomcat can develop.

"Okay, Nathan, if this project is completed, you will once again make a great contribution to Grumman and the U.S. Navy." General Thomas said: "We will also consider your application for boarding the ship carefully. ”

For Nathan, school days were boring, he preferred to take off and land on aircraft carriers and the feeling of conquering the sea and blue sky rather than being a coach for a group of rookies.

"The position of the leader of the carrier-based aircraft squadron is beckoning to you." When it was time to finally leave, General Thomas uttered the words.

Nathan's military rank is not low, but naval aviation is special, maybe the rank of colonel, is still a front-line pilot, and now, Nathan's contribution is incomparable, and his skills are quite exquisite, and he has the potential to become a squadron leader.

At the same time, he became a squadron leader, and he was still a coach, to teach the entire squadron combat techniques and improve the level of rookies.

The Navy is really calculating!

Seeing Thomas leave, Nathan looked at Emily beside him: "Let's go, have a drink, it's for you to see you off." ”
