Chapter four hundred and ninth catapult take off

At the end of the deck, there are three blocking ropes arranged. You must hook the blocking rope to be considered a successful landing.∈↗

At this time, Hussein's hand was slightly trembling. If he did not successfully hook the blocking cable, he must immediately turn on the afterburner, advance at full speed, and continue to take off on the oblique track.

After the aircraft carrier deck uses an oblique deck, the deck operation becomes more orderly. One of the important reasons is that the rear end of the aircraft carrier's oblique deck is responsible for landing. At this time, the front must be freed up, otherwise, once the ship cannot be successfully landed, it will collide with the barrier in front.

When there are fighter jets behind, the front must be cleared, which means that the carrier-based aircraft cannot be taken off in front. At this time, the deck of the ship's bow can continue to take off without affecting each other.

When this aircraft carrier in Pakistan was first built, it had a straight front and rear deck, and later, it was transformed into a beveled deck.

It was just that due to the limited space on the deck, there were no catapults arranged on the beveled deck, and the two steam catapults were both on the deck of the ship's head.

Hussein's hand trembled with the fighter plane, and then he felt a huge force that pulled him away.

The hook at the tail successfully hooked the second blocking cable. After hooking, it began to pull the blocking cable and continued to move forward. The blocking cable began to be lengthened, and the hydraulic cylinders on both sides also began to buffer huge forces.

When the fighter plane lands, the impact force is huge, especially when hooking the blocking cable, this impact force is enough to disintegrate some fighter planes with insufficient strength.

If ordinary land-based fighters are converted into aircraft carrier-based aircraft, they need to strengthen the landing gear, and the tail-mounted hook must be fixed on the beam and the body is subject to anti-corrosion treatment. This will increase by more than a few hundred kilograms than land-based fighters.

The Tomcat fighter was originally designed as a carrier-based aircraft. Even if the batch of fighter jets were exported to Pakistan, the hook was not cancelled, and everything was intact.

The blocking cable continued to move forward, buffering the power of the Tomcat fighter jet rushing forward. Finally, the Tomcat fighter jet stopped.

Success!

Everyone cheered, and their Tomcat fighter plane finally landed on the deck!

After landing, the Tomcat fighter was pulled forward by a tractor and arrived at the takeoff area of ​​the deck of the ship.

"How is it? Our catapult is fine?" In the bridge, Mhamad found himself a little nervous.

After all, Mhamad also knows that the catapult plays a crucial role in taking off the fighter.

"Our catapult has undergone many tests. We have used alternative cars with weights of Tomcat fighter jets. After many tests, we can achieve the required takeoff speed before leaving the ship." Ottoman said.

After all, according to past experience, this catapult can only eject and take off e-2 and a-7, heavy Tomcat fighter jets. It requires stronger catapults. During the transformation, they lengthened the catapult track and increased the capacity of the gas storage tank to achieve the goal of ejecting and taking off the Tomcat. Now, Mhamad also feels unsure of whether it can be ejected and taken off.

Hearing Ottoman's words, Mhamad relaxed and looked at the people below, proceeding in an orderly manner.

There were different operators on the deck wearing different clothes. At this time, the aircraft carrier continued to operate at full power, and at the same time, it had moved to a position against the wind.

A gust of wind blew across the deck, and this was the deck wind.

The wheel in front of the Tomcat fighter was fixed to the catapult, and the bending screen behind it rose. If there was no such thing, when the fighter turned on and after the fighter was overpowered, the tail flame of the fighter would be blown to the point of the fighter.

The yellow vest guide stood on the side of the plane and watched the green vest ejector send out instructions to tighten the catapult and the large accelerator. The same instructions were sent to Hussein, and Hussein immediately turned on all the thrusts.

At this time, you can feel that the fighter plane is ready to eject from the catapult at any time like a roaring wild horse.

The yellow vest squatted down, touched the ground with his right hand first, then moved forward, and made the final action before the ejection.

At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.

The green vest pulled the handle, and the steam of huge pressure entered the cylinder, pushing the piston, and quickly moved forward. A burst of white smoke filled the entire deck.

Hussein didn't have to do anything. At this time, all control was on the deck. He only felt as if he was sitting on a rocket. His body was pushed on the seat and could not move. His hand tightly grasped the cockpit next to him to prevent his hand from touching any switch by mistake.

The time was very short, just three seconds, and the heavy Tomcat fighter was ejected. The moment he left the deck, the 4-degree elevation angle of the bow made the fighter's nose move upwards, preventing the pilot from falling into the sea in an unexpectedly dark place.

Success!

Although the Tomcat fighter was half oil and had no ammunition mounted, this was a milestone event, marking the Pakistan Air Force's fixed-wing air force on the water!

"Report to the President, we have successfully completed the take-off and landing experiment of carrier-based aircraft. Our aircraft carrier has combat capabilities!" Zahar reported to Mhamad excitedly.

"Our aircraft carrier is responsible for cultivating the strength of aircraft carrier-based aircraft for us," Mhamad said. "We must use this warship to train our own water aviation troops. In future wars, without air supremacy, there will be nothing."

Only such a warship cannot have complete water power, and Pakistan's navy still has a long way to go to develop.

This is just the first training, which is completed by the most experienced pilot. In the future, the training of new pilots will still be full of difficulties, and the Pakistani Navy has more ways to go.

"Yes." Zahar replied.

"President, our warship has not been officially named yet," Ottoman said.

"It's called Endeavor." Mhamad said.

Some warships are named after place names and animals in the ocean, while Mhamad thought of a name that can inspire Pakistani people. Forge ahead, the Pakistani Navy must strive forward!

"Our warship is still conducting trial sailings in the name of training ships." Mhamad said: "Try to minimize the concerns of Americans about our aircraft carrier."
