Super Weapon Swap System

The F-16 has no medium-range interception capability, which is its biggest defect. Therefore, its later improved version has added a continuous wave irradiator to launch sparrow missiles. In the later stage, it can even launch air-to-air missiles guided by active radar such as aim-120, and its combat effectiveness has immediately reached a higher level.

It's just that Hans must have this ability now, so it can't meet the needs of Hans.

Hampton felt remorse for his mistake just now. He wanted to defeat the other party in close combat. Seeing that the other party had approached his sight distance, he had to take the initiative to fight up. Who knows, the current j-14 fighter turned its direction and turned on afterburner!

What's he doing? He's running away?

Hampton was very strange. Seeing that the other party wanted to escape, of course he couldn't let go. He immediately opened afterburner and caught up with him.

In terms of power, the F100 engine at the tail is definitely the most powerful power in this era. With the surging flame from the afterburner, the fighter began to accelerate, and the slightly flat nose pierced the sky and entered supersonic speed.

The people watching on the ground felt very strange. Which one did the Han people do?

Qin Guan secretly praised Chen Rui's intelligence. He was able to clearly show the shortcomings of the F-16.

Both fighters are moving in the same direction. The j-14 is ahead and the F-16 is behind. It is considered that the j-14 is running away. At this time, the early warning aircraft should judge that the F-16 has won.

"Why don't they lock?" even bouvalho was surprised.

"It's no use locking. The F-16 doesn't have a medium-range bomb. Now their distance is at least 30 kilometers. The rattlesnake missile can't attack so far, so there's nothing the F-16 can do."

Yes, the current F-16 is helpless. When they run away in the face of the enemy and pursue them, once the distance is too far, the F-16 will be out of reach.

They don't have the right weapons!

The speaker is bill. He was unwilling to lose the phantom 2000, but now, when he saw Chen Rui running away, he admired him.

Chen Rui perfectly grasped the weakness of the F-16!

Not only is the distance too far to reach, but also a good play will be staged immediately.

Hampton in the cockpit is very angry. This is air combat, this is confrontation. What are you running!

The Mach meter in front of him has exceeded 1.6. The other party is still accelerating, and he can only accelerate. However, at this time, the huge pitot inlet under his belly has begun to react.

The design of fighter inlet is a very deep knowledge. Generally speaking, at low speed, the inlet needs to have a larger opening to be used by fighter engines. At high speed, the opening should be smaller, because at this time, the relative speed with the air is large, and there is already a lot of air by collision.

Therefore, many fighters have adjustable devices for the air inlet. For example, the air inlet cone commonly used in the previous MiG-21 is also used on the phantom 2000. It is only split into two parts and installed on both sides. In this way, the size of the air inlet can be changed through the front and rear expansion of the air inlet cone.

As for the inlet of rectangular inlet such as F-14 and F-15, the adjustment mode of diaphragm is adopted. In short, there are some, but this adjustable inlet has a complete set of adjustment mechanism, which will increase the weight.

It is necessary for the heavy air fighter, but not for the F-16, because its positioning is a high-performance fighter in the subsonic range.

Therefore, the F-16 is a fixed pitot tube, which greatly reduces the weight and has high efficiency below Mach 1.6.

However, once it exceeds this speed, it will begin to react, and the acceleration of the fighter will be slow.

This is entirely related to its positioning.

Now, Hampton is still chasing after, but the distance between the two fighters began to expand, chasing farther and farther.

The top speed of the F-16 can reach Mach 2, but the later acceleration is quite slow and weak due to the obstruction of the inlet. It needs to accelerate a little.

The j-14 in front is different. It relies on the DSI drum inlet and has good efficiency in all cases. It tells us that it has strong sprint ability and quickly accelerates to Mach 2. Therefore, it rides the dust and leaves the other party behind.

Instead, the aircraft chasing after them ran farther and farther away, and the faces of the eagle people present were slowly gloomy.

Their weaknesses were exposed.

Qin Guan felt funny in his heart. In fact, the real explorers of his own drum air inlet are the people of Yingguo in front of him.

Loma's engineers began to study alternatives to traditional supersonic inlets in the early 1990s. They tried to eliminate complex mechanisms related to boundary layer control: boundary layer isolation plate, venting system and bypass system. By eliminating these mechanisms, the weight can be reduced.

The final result is DSI, or drum inlet. DSi removes the boundary layer isolation plate, and the air inlet is integrated into the front fuselage design. A three-dimensional surface (bulge) is designed in front of the air inlet. The function of this bulge is to act as a compression surface and increase the pressure distribution to "push" the boundary layer air away from the inlet. The forward swept design of the inlet fairing lip allows most of the boundary layer gas to overflow to the rear fuselage.

It can be said that DSI is actually an improvement on the inlet part of the conventional inlet. The well-designed three-dimensional compression surface combined with the inlet can not only complete the function of the traditional boundary layer partition, but also provide air pre compression, so as to improve the efficiency of the inlet at high speed and reduce the resistance.

In other words, it is an important means to avoid the weak acceleration of F-16 fighter at high speed.

With the cancellation of the inlet regulation system, the weight is naturally reduced. For the future combat aircraft, the more important point is that the RCS of the aircraft may be greatly reduced after canceling the boundary layer partition and compression inclined plate, which is obviously conducive to improving the stealth ability.

At that time, their exploration was very successful, and the experiment was carried out on the F-16, but it was puzzling that Eagle did not refit their F-16 into this air inlet. Why?

In fact, the reason is very simple. When F16 did the DSI test, it was 1996. Yingguo's own F16 was delivered and stopped production. Almost all of the continued production were foreign. The comprehensive refitting of DSI is pure brain water. This experimental project is just a verification for JSF.

Now, I don't know if they will get a bulging inlet under this stimulation. In short, the disadvantages of the current F-16 have been fully demonstrated.

In the Hans' air defense interception, the distance is far, they can't intercept, there is no medium-range bomb, and they can't reach it. Once the other party accelerates to escape, the F-16 can't catch up!
