C1126 Perfect Exposure to All Flaws
F-16 has no midrange intercepting ability, which is its biggest flaw, therefore, its improved version had increased the continuous wave transmitter, allowing it to launch Sparrow Missile. In the later stages, it could even launch active Air to Air Missile guided by AIM 120. Its combat strength immediately rose to a higher level.
However, Hans Country needed this kind of ability now, so it could not meet the requirements of Hans Country.
Hampton felt regret for his mistake just now. He wanted to defeat his opponent in close combat. Seeing that his opponent was approaching his field of vision, he was about to take the initiative to fight. Who would have thought that the J-14 Fighter would actually change its direction. Activate the acceleration!
What was he trying to do? He was actually trying to escape?
Hampton was puzzled. When he saw that the other party was trying to escape, of course he couldn't let him go. He immediately increased his speed and chased after him.
In terms of power, the current F100 engine at the tail of his tail was definitely the most heaven-defying power in this era. As the acceleration combustion room emitted surging flames, the fighter aircraft began to accelerate. The slightly flat head of the aircraft pierced through the sky and entered supersonic speed.
Everyone watching on the ground felt that it was very strange. What was the Han people doing?
Qin Guan secretly praised Chen Rui's intelligence. With his actions, he could clearly display the flaws of the F-16.
The two fighter jets were flying in the same direction. The J-14 was in front and the F-16 was behind. It could be considered that the J-14 was running away. At this time, according to the pre-warning aircraft, the F-16 should have won.
"Why didn't they lock onto it?" Even Buvalo was puzzled.
"It's useless even if they lock onto it. The F-16 didn't get hit. They are at least 30 kilometers away now. Rattlesnake missiles can't attack from such a long distance, so the F-16 can't do anything about it."
That's right. The current F-16 could do nothing about it. When they ran away from the enemy and chased after them, once they were too far away, the F-16 would not be enough.
They didn't have a suitable weapon!
The one who spoke was Bill. He had been unwilling to lose in the Phantom 2000, but now, when he saw Chen Rui running away, he admired him instead.
Chen Rui had perfectly grasped the weakness of the F-16!
Not only was he unable to get far enough, but a more important show was about to begin.
In the cockpit, Hampton was furious. This was an air battle, this was a confrontation, what were you running for!
The Mach 6 in front of him had already exceeded 1.6. The other party was still accelerating, so he could only speed up. However, at this time, the huge skin under his Aircraft Belly was dragging into the air, and it was already starting to play a negative role.
The airway design of the fighter aircraft was a very in-depth study. Generally speaking, when the speed was low, the opening of the airway had to be bigger. Only then could the fighter jet's engine be used. When the speed was high, the opening must be smaller because at this time, the relative speed with the air is greater. The air that came in from the collision would be much more.
Therefore, many fighter planes had ventilation devices that could be used to adjust the air flow. For example, the MiG-21 ventilation cone was also used on Phantom 2000. They were only split in half and installed on both sides. Like this, it could change the size of the inlet through the expansion and contraction of the inlet.
As for the rectangular inlet like the F-14 and F-15, they would adjust the indoor plate. In short, there were some, but this kind of ventilation that could be adjusted... With a set of regulating mechanism, it would bring about an increase in weight.
For the Heavy Air Superiority Fighter, it was necessary. However, for the F-16, it was not necessary because its location was the high-performance fighter aircraft in the subsonic zone.
For this, the F-16 was a fixed type of skin control, greatly reducing the weight. It was very efficient below 1.6 Mach.
However, once it exceeded this speed, it would begin to play a counterrole, and the fighter aircraft's acceleration would also slow down.
This was entirely related to its positioning.
Right now, Hampton was still chasing from behind. However, the distance between the two fighter aircraft began to increase, and the more they chased, the further they went.
The F-16's speed could reach Mach 2, but due to the hindrance of the inlet, the acceleration in the later stages was quite slow and powerless. It needed to be accelerated bit by bit.
The J-14 in front of them was different. It relied on the DSI drum to enter the inlet. It had good results in all kinds of situations, and it told him that his sprinting ability was also very strong. Very quickly, it accelerated to Mach 2, so it left behind a trail of dust. He left his opponent behind.
The planes chasing from behind were getting farther and farther away. The faces of the people from Y Country slowly darkened.
Their disadvantage had been exposed.
Qin Guan felt it was funny in his heart. In fact, the one who really wanted to find out the truth was the people from Y Country in front of him.0
In the early 90s, Loma's engineers started researching the traditional substitution of supersonic inlets. They tried to cancel the complex mechanisms related to the control of the adhesive layer: the adhesive layer isolation board, the ventilation system, and the anatomical system. By removing these mechanisms, the weight could be reduced.
The final result of the research was the DSI, or known as an inlet. The DSI removed the adhesive isolation panel, and the inlet was integrated into the design of the fuselage. In front of the inlet, there was a three-dimensional surface (inlet). The function of this drum was to act as a compression plane and increase the pressure distribution in order to "push" the air in the adhesive layer into the air. The forward design of the inlet cover could cause most of the air flow from the adhesive layer to flow to the back of the plane.
It could be said that the DSI was actually improving the ventilation of the regular airway. The carefully designed three-dimensional compression plane coupled with the inlet could not only complete the function of the traditional adhesive layer separation but also complete the function of the traditional adhesive layer separation. It could also provide air compression to increase the efficiency of the high-speed inlet. And reduce the resistance.
In other words, it was an important method to prevent the F-16 fighter aircraft from accelerating and losing its strength at high speed.
With the removal of the ventilation system, the weight naturally decreased. And the most important thing for the future combat aircraft was that after removing the adhesive layer and the compression diagonal plate and other components, the RCS of the aircraft might be greatly reduced, which would obviously be beneficial to increasing its invisibility ability.
At that time, their research was very successful, and it was an experiment that was installed on the F-16. However, what puzzled them was that Y Country did not modify their F-16 into this kind of inlet. Why was that?
The reason was actually very simple. The F-16 had been doing this DSI experiment in 1996. The F-16 in Y Country had all been handed over to a halt, and the continued production was almost all done overseas. Furthermore, the comprehensive modification of the DSI was purely brain matter. This experiment was only a test for the JSF.
Now, under the stimulation of this time, it was unknown whether they would be able to create an inflatable channel. In short, the disadvantage of the current F-16 had already been fully displayed.
In the anti-air interception of the Hans, the distance was too far. They could not intercept it. Without a long-range bullet, they could not reach it. Once the opponent accelerated and escaped, the F-16 would not be able to catch up!
