Chapter 651: The Double Ring Hovers
The first staggered shelling of each other seemed thrilling, but it was just a mutual test between the two aces.
Piloting the white No. 20 with the red star on its back and the black "Agile Eagle" staggered by, and fired briefly during the period, but unexpectedly missed the opponent, Long Yun immediately pulled the lever into a continuous sideways, and controlled the fighter to enter a horizontal circle with a large overload at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour close to the angular speed.
In the confrontational situation of the double-ring fight, whoever can accumulate enough tail chase angle after the head-to-head staggering and force the opponent to change out of the grappling will have the next positional advantage; Controlling the White No. 20 Su-27S into a large slope and turning sideways, and also slightly losing some altitude, Long Yun once again had a dim black vision effect in front of his eyes, but at this time, the straight-line distance between him and the opponent was less than three thousand meters, so he could still vaguely feel the approximate position of the "Agile Eagle".
Just as he was hovering the fighter plane, the black figure in the sky could not be seen clearly from the cockpit, but as the positions of the two fighters changed relatively, he soon realized that something was wrong; Although he had a real-world knowledge background and was wary of the "Agile Eagle's" super maneuvering ability, Long Yun was still a little surprised to find that the nimble "Black Hawk" showed signs of moving to his back hemisphere.
The F-15S/MTD, a kind of verification aircraft for short-distance take-off and landing, is actually so maneuverable?
For a model developed for the purpose of verifying technology, due to the lack of necessary theoretical calculations and actual test flights, he originally thought that this kind of ostentatious-looking three-winged "eagle" was not yet fully mature, at least no one could fully control it; But now it seems that this is obviously not the case, thinking of this, Long Yun immediately pushed forward the throttle valve to the top, and turned on the afterburner to supplement the combat power of the circling loss. While using more precise maneuvers to continue to maneuver with opponents.
With the bright flames of the tail vent burst out. The Sukhoi fighter plane, hovering sideways, quickly stopped its downward spiral and made a sharp turn in the sky at an angular speed of nearly thirty degrees per second. And on the other side of the remnants of the staggered route. The "Agile Eagle", which is also fully opener, is also trying to complete the circle with greater angular velocity.
Against the backdrop of the clear blue sky, the two fighters faced each other and chased each other without giving in, fighting each other, but together they drew a huge "8" track in the sky.
In the competition of circling performance, thanks to the excellent overall aerodynamic design, the hovering radius of the white No. 20 Su-27S is compressed to a very small point; However, even so, in the face of opponents with excellent horizontal maneuverability, the "Agile Eagle", which has a clear thrust-to-weight ratio and excellent stable hovering performance, is still superior.
Immerse yourself in a landline that spins sideways at a fast pace. The pull-in joystick exerts the overload trim function of the front canard, and the powerful F-15S/MTD becomes extremely nimble under the full control of Harold Fisher, creating a white track in the sky caused by a violent maneuver.
With the extra aerodynamic torque provided by the canard wings, the originally somewhat clumsy "Eagle" is bursting out with amazing instantaneous disc ability, and soon there are faint signs of tail-chasing opponents!
Seeing that he was almost about to be put into his front half by his opponent, Fisher couldn't see the situation outside the cabin because of his strict black vision, but the control in his hands was still smooth and skillful; With the help of the results of peacetime training, while turning on the afterburner to prevent the fighter from losing too fast, he used experience and technology to give full play to the instantaneous maneuverability of the F-15S/MTD, and gradually gained the advantage of circling confrontation when the fighter barely slowed down.
Although it is said that this advantage. It is not from the pilot himself, but from the aerodynamic differences between the two fighters, but there is never any reason on the battlefield. While controlling the landline to maintain an instantaneous angular velocity of nearly 30 degrees, Fisher connected an AIM-9M seeker on the wing pylon; At the time of the head-on staggering just now, he had already formed a whole set of countermeasures in his heart - since he was now in an advantageous position of circling confrontation, then if the "Grim Reaper" chose to fight to the end, then he would accompany him all the way, believing that it was impossible for the "flanker" with insufficient thrust-to-weight ratio to win in this pure mobile confrontation; And if that guy chooses to take the initiative to break away and withdraw from the hovering confrontation, then he can also use the excellent acceleration ability of "Agile Eagle" to keep an eye on the opponent and not give "Death" any chance to turn the tables.
Even now, his ears heard the "Didi" seeker lock prompt, and Fisher immediately launched a "Sidewinder", although at this time he had only just seen what direction the opponent was in, and the fire control system did not give a launch prompt. Following the faintly visible white smoke in his line of sight, he found that the Russian fighter plane in the sky was already in his direction at ten o'clock, and the "Sidewinder", which had just left the launch frame and dragged the slender flame away quickly, had become a small spot in his field of vision.
In the Twin Rings Circle, the fighter who takes the lead can attack first, just as the "Agile Eagle" is doing now!
However, despite firing first, Fisher did not let up in the slightest, and continued to push the rudder sideways, maintaining a large overload that made his legs feel heavier, while keeping a close eye on the "flanker" in the front hemisphere's vision.
In the face of the target that appeared in the direction of ten o'clock and was turning with a high overload, the "Rattlesnake" launched at an off-axis angle of about 60 degrees, the attack envelope had been severely shrunk, and the major knew very well that such a reluctant attack could not help the "Grim Reaper", at most it was just a bluff and intimidation!
Therefore, he can't let up now, but has to take advantage of the "Agile Eagle's" irascible but powerful maneuvering characteristics to gain some angular advantage, and when he really turns to the back of the opponent's tail, he will wait for an opportunity to launch a more aggressive attack.
Tense confrontation in the sky, but still calm head, I have to say that Fisher's judgment is very accurate.
In the face of the melee missile attack that the "Black Hawk" will launch at any time, Long Yun, who can't be expected to be warned by RWR, has been paying attention to the movement in the sky, but he didn't see the "Sidewinder" launched by the enemy plane soon at first, but subconsciously continued to maintain a continuous sideways rotation with an overload of more than 7G; When the two fighters circled each other and fought to turn behind the opponent, the continuous circling confrontation must have ended with a stall and fall of the inferior team, but this process was often relatively "long", and the white 20 he was piloting did not show obvious signs of defeat at the moment.
Under the command of such a-for-tat idea, Long Yun's sideways maneuver also continued, and the AIM-9M flying far away in the sky quickly burned out its thrusters, relying on the rudder surface control zhì in vain to try to catch up with the target whose speed and angle were completely unsuitable for attack, and finally was thrown away by a continuous maneuver of "flankers".
