As a long-range missile, the maximum range of thunderbolt-13 has actually exceeded 150 kilometers. When it is normally launched, it has allowed the target to enter the no escape zone at about 100 kilometers. Now, when Chen Rui is testing, he launches the missile at a distance of 120 kilometers, which is also a preset data of this experiment.

The missile is flying forward. Because the speed is not fast, the RAM mode of the missile has not been started. Although the two rectangular air inlets are constantly sucking in air, they do not enter the rear engine, but go out directly through the rear outlet. At this time, the initial acceleration is not rapid, compared with the solid rocket engine, The rapid acceleration in the early stage is unmatched. The ramjet needs speed to work.

Now, the fuel continuously enters the back combustion chamber and comes out of the ramjet nozzle. The missile soon exceeds the speed of sound. Continue to accelerate and accelerate. When the speed exceeds Mach 2, the outlet of the air inlet is blocked and all flows into the ramjet!

If an ordinary engine wants to inhale more air, it needs a compressor in front. The compressor with multi impeller shape is the most common form of modern jet, but the ramjet does not need it, because with the increase of speed, the air it bumps into is enough for it to burn!

When the ramjet started, the whole missile seemed to be kicked hard. The momentum came up immediately. The missile accelerated rapidly and soon increased to Mach 3 and Mach 4!

After reaching Mach 4, the missile has reached the maximum speed, the flame at the tail becomes smaller, and the missile engine reduces the fuel consumption speed, allowing the missile to enter the cruise phase.

For ordinary missiles, all the fuel will be consumed in more than ten seconds, and then the rest of the time is the unpowered flight phase. However, for ramjet missiles, there is no such unpowered flight phase.

The reason is very simple. The two rectangular air inlets increase the resistance of the missile. Once the power is lost, the speed of the missile will quickly decrease and finally lose the speed. Therefore, this kind of missile cannot cruise without power. In this way, after accelerating to the maximum speed, the missile will cruise at this speed in the most fuel-saving way.

This also limits the long range of the missile. When the fuel is consumed, it means that the range has reached the end.

Of course, in fact, the range should be closer, because in the final stage, it still needs some more fuel to be used as high overload maneuvers of missiles, so that it can deal with targets like fighter planes.

The bulky undead missile can not deal with the highly mobile fighter. In the final stage, the fighter can easily make the undead lose guidance through various escape actions. For example, if a fighter climbs up and gets rid of it, the missile has to climb with it. At this time, the missile has no power. It flies completely by inertia and cannot keep up with the target's maneuver, so it is naturally unable to attack.

Therefore, no matter how high the declared maximum overload of the missile, such as 35g, far exceeds the maximum overload of 9g of the fighter, in practice, it is entirely possible for the fighter to get rid of the missile attack. The key depends on the pilot's technology.

The missile's flight envelope is represented by a map. The area surrounded by each map line is the missile's non escape area. Only in this area can there be a sufficiently high hit rate, which is not 100%.

However, for the current thunderbolt-13, the engine has been used all the time. Especially in the final stage, the engine will burn at full speed. Therefore, its non escape area is much larger than the original thunderbolt-12 missile!

How bad is it? The total working time of the engine of this missile is more than 100 seconds, and the near end non escape area is about 100 kilometers, that is, within 100 kilometers, there is almost no running! Through the second engine power, it created the envelope of the anti sky non escape area. This lethality is the favorite of the pilots who use it.

In particular, if we hunt and kill early warning aircraft, it will be even more handy. The aircraft with a large plate has poor mobility and is born to be a target.

In fact, Chen Rui has been able to return now. After all, the missile he launched is an active missile. The first half depends on inertial flight, and the second half actively looks for targets to attack. However, Chen Rui is still staring. He is looking forward to knowing the results of the war at the first time. This is an attack 100 kilometers away. Even the undead missile has a range of more than 100 kilometers. In actual use, it is only attacked at a distance of 70 or 80 kilometers. The current range is absolutely realistic. There is no discount. This missile will become the killer mace of its own aviation!

The goggles of his helmet continue to display data. The current data is calculated by his own radar, which shows the distance between the missile and the target.

One hundred kilometers, eighty, sixty, forty, when twenty kilometers, the missile's seeker successfully found the target!

The J-5 UAV is flying smoothly. It doesn't know that it is a one-way voyage and is destined to have no future. It is flying for the last time. At this time, the distant missile has sent a dead beam to it, and the electromagnetic wave of the monopulse seeker completely envelops it.

Speed up, speed up! After finding the target, the missile computer knew that the internal fuel was abundant after simple calculation. Therefore, the missile began to accelerate, the power of the tail engine reached the maximum, and the hot flame spewed back, spreading a thick wake in the sky.

The distance is approaching rapidly, ten kilometers, five kilometers, one kilometer. In the final stage, the proximity fuze constantly measures the distance between the two sides. When the distance reaches 15 meters, there is a loud bang, and the missile's annular broken rod warhead explodes. These linked warheads spread rapidly outward, forming a rain of death, He soon had close contact with the J-5 UAV.

The broken rod hit the aluminum alloy skin. Relying on the speed of a few mach, it easily tore open its oxidized aluminum alloy skin and drilled in. Several pieces went into the engine and some went into the fuel tank. Then, the aircraft became a fireball in the sky.

success!

Thunderbolt-13's long-range attack accurately hit the target. This new missile, which perfectly replaces the undead bird missile, has passed the target test flight and showed its combat effectiveness. Since then, another must kill weapon has been added to the weapon arsenal of the Han aviation army!
