C1630 Accident Fame
The Ejection Seat was the pilot's last resort.
When the plane crashed, the plane would definitely be gone, but it could be reconstructed. However, once the pilot lost his life, it would be completely gone.
Pilots were the most precious treasures of a country. They were definitely worth the money. Therefore, every country spared no effort in protecting the pilot.
And the last way to protect the pilot's life was the Ejection Seat.
Although it was a small seat, there were not many countries in the world that could make it. The main types were those few. In Western World, the Ejection Seat used by Martin Baker in Cattle Country was a large amount. Therefore, it was the largest share in the world, almost half of it.
Each country also felt that this kind of seat was reliable. Even the domestic J-14 exporters, many orders also indicated that Martin Baker's Ejection Seat had to be installed.
There was also an Ejection Seat in the country that was completely self-developed, but in terms of performance, it was slightly worse.
If one were to talk about the world's best, it would naturally be the Red Star Design Bureau's K36 Ejection Seat in Bear Country. The current MiG-29 was equipped with this Ejection Seat!
Under everyone's astonished gazes, they saw this chair form an arc in the air. It almost turned from a horizontal position to a vertical position, and then continued to climb upwards!
The entire chair was actually a small spacecraft. Now, when they saw it start to fly upwards, everyone let out a long sigh. Fortunately, no one would die!
Under such circumstances, the K36 was actually able to complete its mission! It was able to complete such a move by leaning against the two long antenna-like things that stretched out from the back of the seat. It was a unique piece of equipment, the Lifesaving Umbrella!
How to adjust the flying posture of the Ejection Seat after leaving the plane was a huge problem. When the standard flew out, how to erect the seat and let it fly upwards?
This problem was difficult for many people. The western experts were mainly considering using a miniature rocket engine to adjust the position, but after repeated attempts, it proved that this method was not good.
They could only use solid rockets. They were usually packaged well and could be used at any time when needed. It was impossible to use liquid rockets, otherwise the maintenance staff would curse even more.
However, the solid rocket engine could only provide a fixed thrust during the activation process. It could not adjust the thrust in real-time according to the speed and the angle of the seat. In this way, it was incomparably difficult to control.
But what about the engineers from Bear Country? He cleverly set up two life umbrellas on the left and right sides of the pilot's shoulders. After firing the life umbrellas, he quickly opened them and relied on these two to cleverly straighten the seat!
This was the unique thinking of the engineers from Bear Country. Their ability to integrate was the strongest, and no one could match them.
It was not only that the seat would automatically adjust after being washed by the high-speed airflow. Furthermore, in order to meet the problem of adjusting the position of the seat at different speeds, the life-saving umbrella was designed with seams. Through the size of the seam, it could achieve a high and low speed balance under different speeds.
Now, it was like this. The two antenna-like things that stretched out... He successfully pulled the Ejection Seat up, and the rocket engine underneath him... They would do what the rocket engine should do to increase the altitude of the pilot. The rest would be left to the other equipment! The Ejection Seat continued to climb upwards until it reached a certain height. The rocket engine also completed its mission, and the blazing flame disappeared. Then, the pilot separated from his seat. An umbrella flower bloomed in the sky.
Andre helplessly opened his eyes and looked at the burning fighter aircraft under his feet. How should he report this mistake to his superior?
At this moment, the fire trucks on the ground had already moved out urgently. As they had prepared the viewing area and the performance area in advance, so... The fighter didn't bring any damage to the ground, but if the out of control fighter enters the crowd... It would cause a terrible disaster, and it would make other countries laugh at it.
Now, everyone looked at the parachute open and the pilot landing on the ground unharmed. When the pilot landed, he threw down the parachute and even ran towards the fighter jet. They were all dumbfounded.
He was alive and kicking.
When the Ejection Seat was launched, most of the time, due to the inappropriate posture, the pilot's spine would be injured during the ejection. In the end, he would be carried away.
But what about the pilots of the Bear Country now? It was as if nothing had happened.
Of course, the ambulance also went over. However, Andre shook his hand, indicating that he was fine.
"K36 Ejection Seat, good stuff." Qin Guan looked at all of this and said, "This voyage exhibition has made this Ejection Seat famous. Oh right, we can also bring in some. We can research it ourselves."
Domestic Ejection Seat still had a huge technical problem. Their own Ejection Seat was much behind the ones in the west and even worse compared to the ones in Bear Country.
Even if it was the current J-10, under such circumstances, it was afraid that it would not succeed in launching. Needless to say, it would not happen now. When the time came, with the aircraft carrier, during the training, there was still a pilot spraying blood in the sky. At the last critical moment, he launched, but he didn't succeed.
If he used the Ejection Seat from Bear Country, the pilot's life could be saved. This was a lesson of blood!
Why didn't he buy the Ejection Seat from overseas? Of course, there were many concerns. If they were to buy it from overseas... Then, the research and development of the domestic Ejection Seat would be even lagging behind. They might even be unable to recover from the setback, and they would have to establish their own research and development. Especially in the military field, even if the performance of their own side was a bit worse. He had to use his own research and development.1
Currently, Qin Guan had never paid attention to the domestic Ejection Seat. After this exhibition, he would have to interfere a little. Even if the other side did not sell it to him, didn't he still have the system?
In exchange, he would be able to draw and copy it. This was what he was best at.
Not only his own side, even the Y Country had once bought the Ejection Seat from the Bear Country and opened it up for research.
"What a lucky chance amongst the unfortunate." Qin Guan walked to the front of the booth in the Bear Country and looked at the confused Rothschild. He said, "Your Ejection Seat has broadened our horizons this time."
Upon hearing Qin Guan's words, Rothschild suddenly came back to his senses. That was right!
His mind had gone blank just now. He had crashed the plane. How would he explain it when he went back? He had come to the exhibition to show the advanced technology of Bear Country to the world. He wanted to tell them that in front of the rolling Armor Torrent of Bear Country, everything was trash!
If the west wanted to make use of the advantage in the air, they had to first have the right to air control. And in front of their own advanced fighter aircraft, the right to air control? Don't joke around, the right to control the air is also ours!
