Not only the old expert who asked the question was surprised by the performance of fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft during ski jump takeoff, but also others present.
I can't help it. The data given by Tang Lili is so amazing that all the people present feel that they are untrue.
The reason for this feeling is very simple, that is, ski jump take-off has great restrictions on carrier based aircraft, let alone full of fuel and ammunition, and it is difficult to say whether it can play a normal level of performance.
Take the Soviet Union's soviet-33 heavy-duty carrier based aircraft built for the Kuznetsov class as an example. Russia claims that the maximum take-off weight of the soviet-33 on the aircraft carrier can reach 32 tons, but in fact, even at the heavy-duty take-off point, the soviet-33 heavy-duty carrier based aircraft can only achieve the maximum take-off weight of 25 tons.
However, the empty weight of Su-33 heavy carrier based aircraft is as high as 18 tons. In fact, the total weight of fuel and ammunition left behind is only 6.5 tons after the 500 kg weight of pilot, machine gun and other auxiliary equipment is removed.
Even if it is calculated by half, 3.5 tons of fuel and 3 tons of ammunition, the combat effectiveness of Su-33 heavy carrier based aircraft will be greatly reduced compared with the paper data, and even play the same role as the second generation of land-based aircraft, not only short legs, but also insufficient firepower sustainability.
Because of this, Russia basically defines Su-33 heavy carrier based fighter as fleet air defense fighter, which is mainly used to expel enemy surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft and incoming fighter.
For example, long-distance attack, ground attack and even beyond visual range air anti-ship, Su-33 heavy carrier based fighters are not involved, because they can not participate. In fact, the combat radius of 500km is too short, while the duration of anti-ship and ground attack requires ultra-low altitude, which will further consume fuel and further shorten the combat radius, In this case, it is more cost-effective for Russia to use its unique ultra long range shipborne anti-ship missile.
In fact, this problem does not only exist in the Su-33, but also in the jian-11 reform of northeast aviation industry group. Otherwise, northeast aviation industry group would not have taken an evasive attitude on the issue of ski jump take-off, because they knew that if they really wanted to uncover it, they would have slapped themselves in the face.
In contrast, fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft has done a very good job in overall control, with 4.9 tons of fuel loading during ski jump takeoff, equivalent to 70% of the maximum fuel loading; The load is 5.8 tons, equivalent to 63% of the maximum load; Not only does the data exceed 50% of the excellent critical point, but more importantly, the overall weight is only 24.9 tons. You should know that the empty weight of fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft is only 14.2 tons, even if you add the pilot's weight, it is only 25 tons, which can fully meet the maximum value that Kuznetsov class aircraft carrier can bear at the heavy takeoff point.
In other words, when designing fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft, China Tengfei has fully considered the situation of ski jump take-off, and has carried out system optimization for fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft aiming at this problem, so that it not only has the combat capability of heavy carrier based aircraft, but also has strong ship adaptability.
Unlike the Su-33 or the J-11, the emphasis is more on heavy duty rather than on meeting the actual needs of Shipborne aircraft. As a result, these two aircraft types are like temporary cargo to solve the problems, which always gives people a sense of regret that they can not make full use of.
"It seems that China's take-off in carrier based aircraft is more professional!"
At this moment, no matter the members of the expert group in charge of the evaluation, or the naval leaders and heads present at the meeting, this pertinent comment appears in their hearts.
However, Tang Lili on the stage didn't give too much time for the public to comment. She nodded to the old expert who asked the question: "in the case of high high air defense operations, the combat radius can indeed reach 1020 km. Of course, if only two medium range air-to-air missiles and two short-range combat missiles are carried in the light mount mode, the combat radius will be further improved; However, under the classic ground attack mode of adding two dzb-500 cruise missiles, four 500kg laser guided bombs and two short-range air-to-air combat bombs, the combat radius will be reduced to 718km under the condition of low low high ultra-low altitude penetration, and only 537km under the condition of full low low low low low altitude penetration
With a laser pen in hand, Tang Lili was talking about the specific mission data of fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft. When she occasionally looked at the reactions of the former experts and Navy leaders below, she was stunned because she found that the experts and Navy leaders sitting there were all petrified, Just looking at the fc-23 heavy carrier aircraft on the screen.
This makes Tang Lili feel uneasy. She really doesn't know whether these experts and leaders are satisfied with fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft or vice versa.
He quickly stopped the introduction and wanted to ask the experts of the expert group and the Navy leaders how they felt about the fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft. He didn't know how to express it, so he was so embarrassed.
The old expert who inquired about Tang Lili's attitude was the first to respond and immediately gave a hearty smile: "don't worry, Comrade Tang Lili. We are surprised by the excellent performance of fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft. Two dzb-500 cruise missiles, four 500kg laser guided bombs and two short-range air-to-air combat bombs together weigh more than 5 tons, Under such circumstances, there is still a 700 km operational radius for ultra-low altitude penetration, doesn't it mean that the operational radius for fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft to carry out anti-ship missions with four c-803 air-to-ship missiles will exceed 800 km? "
Tang Lili nodded: "it can reach 978 km. After all, the weight of c-803 air-to-ship missiles is 1.12 tons, and the total weight of four missiles is more than 4 tons. In addition, the ultra-low altitude penetration increases fuel consumption, so the combat radius of 1000 km can't be reached only by internal fuel loading. However, when carrying out anti-ship missions, the auxiliary fuel tank can be added to increase the range, In this case, the operational radius can barely reach 1000 km.
However, when we design fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft, the classic anti-ship mode we give is not to add four C-803s, but to hang two C-803s at the same time. At the same time, we can hang two combat bombs for self-defense. In this case, we can add two auxiliary fuel tanks of 1000 kg under the wing, or directly fill the fuel tank, Under such circumstances, the operational radius of fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft will reach 1450km of the top grid. At that time, with the formation penetration situation and the 250 km range of c-803 anti-ship missile, fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft can carry out continuous fire assault on the sea targets with 1700km radius of the aircraft carrier. At the same time, it can also carry out air defense operations and realize real multi-purpose, So that the actual combat effectiveness of our aircraft carrier can reach 70% of that of the US aircraft carrier. "
"It's not easy to achieve this goal. How did your fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft do it?" Before Tang Lili finished speaking, a middle-aged expert sitting next to the old expert suddenly asked a more tricky question.
However, Tang Lili smiles indifferently and presses the remote control in her hand. The fc-23 heavy carrier based aircraft on the screen disappears, and two aeroengines appear instead. Tang Lili points with a laser pen, and her confident voice resounds throughout the audience: "we use them to achieve it!"
