Chapter 394 Ground Effect Carrier Aircraft Flight Test
In order to improve the response speed of the combat system, Li Yang decided to equip it with a real-time battlefield monitoring system. This system can obtain various battlefield information in real time through the fighter's radar, infrared detector and satellite communication device, and respond quickly. In addition, Li Yang also decided to add an automatic target recognition and attack system to the combat system. This system can analyze enemy targets on the battlefield through artificial intelligence and automatically select the best attack method.
Li Yang also considered that future wars may involve complex multi-dimensional battlefield environments, including multiple battlefield spaces such as sea, land, air, and space. In order to cope with this complex battlefield environment, Li Yang decided to design a multi-dimensional battlefield simulation system for the combat system. This system can project the battlefield environment into the pilot's field of vision in real time through virtual reality technology, allowing the pilot to respond quickly in a complex battlefield environment.
After months of design and repeated deliberation, Li Yang finally completed the design of the aerospace fighter. This fighter integrates the most advanced scientific and technological achievements at the time, from the appearance design to the power system, from the weapon system to the flight control system, every detail has been carefully designed and optimized.
Li Yang stood in front of the window of the laboratory, his eyes deep and firm. He knew that the significance of this aerospace fighter was far beyond that of ordinary fighters. It was not just an aircraft, but also represented a new model of future wars. With the advent of the aerospace fighter, Yan State would take the initiative in future wars, and even in the space battlefield, it would be invincible.
Li Yang carefully rolled up the blueprint and put it into a special metal cylinder. He knew that the next step would be a more difficult manufacturing and testing phase, but he was ready to meet all challenges.
……
Under the leadership of Li Yang, after countless days and nights of hard work, the ground-effect aircraft carrier and primary carrier-based aircraft were finally fully produced. These huge machines, carrying the efforts of countless people, are quietly parked in a secret base on the southwest coast of Yan Country, waiting for the upcoming first sea test.
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the steel walls of the base, Li Yang was already standing on the top of the command tower, his eyes gazing deeply at the sea in the distance. The sea breeze blew gently, with a moist and salty smell, as if playing a prelude to the upcoming test. In the command hall behind him, all kinds of instruments and equipment have been started, and the data and charts on the screen are constantly changing. The whole team is preparing nervously.
"Engineer Li, all systems are ready." Zhang Guoqiang walked to Li Yang's side and reported in a low voice. His face was a little nervous, but more proud and expectant. As Li Yang's right-hand man, he knew that the success or failure of this test would determine the future of the entire project.
Li Yang nodded slightly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "Notify all departments to prepare to start testing." His voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.
Soon, the order was transmitted to every corner of the base via radio. Engineers quickly took action, and various mechanical equipment emitted a low roar. The entire base seemed to wake up at this moment. The huge ground-effect aircraft carrier glowed with a metallic luster in the sun, like a sleeping giant beast, waiting for its upcoming awakening.
"Let's start." Li Yang stood on the top of the command tower, his eyes sharp.
Following Li Yang's order, the engine of the ground-effect aircraft carrier emitted a low roar, and then the entire aircraft slowly slid toward the sea. It was huge, more than 300 meters long and nearly 100 meters wide, but despite its huge size, it was extremely stable when gliding, like a moving steel city.
The seawater slapped the bottom of the aircraft, but it remained as steady as a rock. Li Yang stared at every detail of the aircraft, his heart full of anticipation and nervousness. This was not just a test, but also a test of the months of hard work of him and the entire team. The moment the aircraft slid into the sea, huge waves were stirred up on the sea surface, like a silver dragon tumbling on the sea surface.
"Activate the air cushion system!" Li Yang gave the order via radio.
As Li Yang's order was issued, the air cushion system at the bottom of the aircraft was quickly activated, and the huge air cushion was inflated in an instant, lifting the entire aircraft slightly off the water. In an instant, the seawater was splashed everywhere by the strong airflow, and the speed of the aircraft increased rapidly under the help of the air cushion, as if a huge iron eagle was soaring on the sea.
Despite its large size, the aircraft glides on the sea surface very smoothly. As the speed increases, the aircraft begins to enter ground effect flight. The ground effect, which is the additional lift generated between the wings and the ground when the aircraft flies at low altitude, is showing its amazing power at this moment.
"The speed reaches two hundred kilometers per hour, and the aircraft is in a stable state." Lao Wang stood in front of the control console, staring at the data on the screen, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
The aircraft's speed continued to increase, and the sound of the wind whistled past my ears, as if the whole world became blurred as it moved forward. As the ground effect gradually emerged, the aircraft's flight path over the sea began to become smoother, as if it was being lifted forward by an invisible force.
"Continue to accelerate and enter ground effect flight mode." Li Yang's eyes became more focused.
The aircraft's speed increased again, reaching 300 kilometers per hour. At this point, the ground effect became more obvious, and the air layer between the aircraft and the sea surface was compressed, generating a strong additional lift. This lift not only greatly reduced the friction between the aircraft and the water surface, but also made the aircraft move forward as if gliding on the sea surface, further increasing its speed.
"The speed reaches 400 kilometers per hour and the aircraft is in good condition." Lao Wang's voice could no longer conceal his excitement.
At this moment, the aircraft seemed no longer an aircraft carrier, but a giant bird of prey, speeding across the sea at an unparalleled speed. Under the influence of the ground effect, the aircraft's flight altitude was precisely controlled within a few meters, gliding close to the sea surface. The huge ship created huge waves on the sea, like a long silver dragon rolling on the sea.
"Entering high-speed flight state, the air cushion system operates at full power." Li Yang's voice was still steady, but his eyes were flashing with excitement.
As the air cushion system was fully turned on, the speed of the aircraft suddenly climbed to 500 kilometers per hour. At this time, the aircraft had completely entered the optimal state of ground effect flight. It was like a sharp arrow shot from a bow, drawing a long silver track on the sea surface, and the speed was incredibly fast.
"The speed reaches 500 kilometers per hour, and the aircraft is in a very stable state." Lao Wang's voice was full of amazement.
The aircraft was speeding over the sea at an astonishing speed, and the ground effect made its flight more stable and efficient. Despite the high speed, the aircraft's flight altitude was still firmly controlled within a few meters, as if it was being lifted forward by an invisible giant hand. The sea breeze whistled in my ears, and huge waves were raised by the aircraft, like a silver dragon tumbling on the sea. The scene was extremely shocking.
Li Yang's eyes were fixed on the flight path of the aircraft, and his heart was filled with pride and excitement. He knew that this speed and stability were the miracles brought about by the ground effect. In this state, the aircraft not only greatly reduced energy consumption, but also completed long-distance rapid maneuvers in a very short time, which was unattainable by any traditional ship.
"Prepare for high-speed turning test." Li Yang issued a new order, his eyes full of anticipation.
The aircraft suddenly began to turn while gliding at high speed, and the huge ship drew a graceful arc on the sea with incredible flexibility. The ground effect once again played a huge role, which not only kept the aircraft extremely stable at high speed, but also made its turning more agile. Despite its huge size, the aircraft's turning radius was extremely small, as if it was dancing on the sea, agile and graceful.
"The aircraft's steering is very flexible, and the ground effect plays a vital role in the aircraft's stability." Lao Wang's voice was full of amazement.
Li Yang finally showed a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that the performance of the ground-effect aircraft carrier had exceeded his expectations. Through the ground effect, this huge aircraft can not only move on the sea at a very high speed, but also maintain excellent stability and maneuverability in complex sea conditions. This performance undoubtedly provides a huge advantage for future maritime operations.
"Prepare for the high-speed obstacle avoidance test." There was a hint of nervousness in Li Yang's voice.
The aircraft continued to glide at high speed on the sea surface, and suddenly a dense reef area appeared in front of it. This area was set as a test site for the aircraft's obstacle avoidance ability. The aircraft must complete complex maneuvers in a very short time to avoid these obstacles.
"Start avoiding obstacles." Li Yang gave an order, and the aircraft's maneuvering system responded quickly.
The aircraft suddenly turned sharply during high-speed gliding, and the ground effect played a key role again. The aircraft successfully avoided the first obstacle by adjusting the airflow direction of the air cushion system. Then, the aircraft turned sharply again and avoided the second obstacle. The whole process was smooth and fast, just like a nimble petrel flying across the sea.
"The aircraft's obstacle avoidance capability is excellent, and the ground effect greatly enhances its maneuverability." Lao Wang's voice was full of admiration.
Li Yang's eyes were still fixed on every movement of the aircraft, but his heart was filled with pride. He knew that the successful application of ground effect not only gave the aircraft extremely high speed and stability, but also gave it incredible flexibility. This was a performance that no traditional ship could achieve, and it was also a decisive advantage in future maritime operations.
With the last obstacle successfully avoided, the test of the aircraft on the sea surface was finally completed. It slowly slowed down and finally stopped on the calm sea surface. Li Yang's heart also calmed down. He knew that the success of this test marked that the design concept of the ground effect aircraft carrier aircraft had been fully verified.
"Today's test is over, and the aircraft performed very well." There was a hint of relief in Li Yang's voice.
