A few readers can't read any more. They have no choice but to be surprised by the basic situation of yun-15 Mini shipboard multi-purpose transport platform.
As Tang Lili said, if measured by land-based aircraft, the performance of the yun-15mini shipborne multipurpose transport platform can only be said to be average, because it is much better to pick up any light transport aircraft than the yun-15mini shipborne multipurpose transport platform.
But if the application environment is placed on the aircraft carrier with small space and money, it will be different. We should know that the aircraft carrier is a complete combat system, not a simple floating airport. Since it is a combat system, we must have support aircraft as the force multiplier of the aviation force, so as to strengthen the combat effectiveness of carrier based fighters.
This is also the reason why the US aircraft carrier battle group is really powerful. It is not only the excellent performance of carrier based fighters, but also the E-2C "eagle eye" carrier based early warning aircraft, S-3 "Viking" carrier based antisubmarine aircraft, C-2 "Greyhound" carrier based transport aircraft, SH-60 "Seahawk" carrier based search and rescue helicopter, S-3 "Viking" carrier based antisubmarine aircraft, C-2 "Greyhound" carrier based transport aircraft, SH-60 "Seahawk" carrier based search and rescue helicopter The cooperation of a large number of auxiliary aircraft, such as the ch-53e "sea stud" heavy carrier transport helicopter, will enable the F-18 series carrier based fighters to aim farther, extend their fists farther and fight harder
The other navies in the world don't have such luxurious configuration. The only Red Navy of the Soviet Union that can match the battle group of the US aircraft carrier is that it can work hard and develop a series of carrier based support aircraft. However, the Soviet Union finally played itself to death, so that the battle effectiveness of the aircraft carrier Kuznetsov, which is hard to suppress, always gives people a kind of appearance of bravery and progress, In fact, the embarrassment of not raising the head.
After all, the navy is the main force to deal with the military struggle along the southeast coast, and it is also the core of anti intervention operations. This requires that the formation with aircraft carrier as the core can go out of the first island chain and set up its position on the high seas to the east of an Island, that is, it can deal with the interference forces from the West, It can also cooperate with land forces to attack an island from east to west.
Therefore, the positioning of the navy to the aircraft carrier is very simple. In a word, it is necessary to have a strong independent combat capability.
But the problem is that if it is simple, it is not easy to put it into practice at all. You should know that up to now, there is no other way to achieve independent combat capability except for the aircraft carrier of the US Navy.
Because of this, the Navy's expectations for aircraft carriers are more like the US "Kitty Hawk", which is a large aircraft carrier with larger displacement, catapult and strong independent combat capability; It's not that Varyag has the same displacement, can only carry ordinary carrier based fighters, and has almost no semi whiteboard aircraft carrier for auxiliary combat aircraft.
However, although the "Xiaoying" aircraft carrier is good, it is estimated that the Navy will not get it in this lifetime; Varyag, bad as he is, is better than nothing.
At least being a training ship can play a certain role in cultivating talents in aircraft carrier.
It was in such a tangled mentality that the Navy and the upper class accepted Varyag, but it was hard to say how satisfied they were. It was just like a marriage arranged by their parents. Although they were forced to live together in a bed, they were still eager for a vigorous love. Don't be hypocritical.
However, just when the Navy didn't want to make do with it, but it had to make do with it in some ways because of the inherent deficiency of the Varyag, China's take-off yun-15 Mini shipboard multi-purpose transport platform made the Navy's heart withered because of arranged marriage reevaluate the taste of love.
Because the most important feature of yun-15mini shipboard multi-purpose transport platform is not the short and thick fuselage, nor the folding storage of wings, nor the refitting feature. Instead, it can realize the normal take-off with full oil and full load at the long-distance take-off point (also known as heavy load take-off point) of Varyag.
The significance of this to the navy is immeasurable.
Not to mention other shipborne early warning aircraft refitted from yun-15mini shipborne multi-purpose transport platform, they don't need to be equipped too much. They only need two. With the 7.5-hour endurance of yun-15mini shipborne multi-purpose transport platform and the assistance of shipborne radar detection equipment, they can effectively monitor and control the vast sea area with an aircraft carrier as the center and a radius of 600 nautical miles.
On this basis, the combat effectiveness of naval carrier based aviation will be improved qualitatively.
As for how the yun-15mini shipborne multipurpose transport platform can achieve this feat, it is quite simple and crude. That is to install two high-power turboprop engines that can be called medium-sized transport aircraft on the light transport aircraft whose maximum take-off weight of yun-15mini shipborne multipurpose transport platform is less than 30 tons, Coupled with its excellent aerodynamic layout for short takeoff and landing, it clearly explains what it means to make a miracle.
If it's other aviation product manufacturers, they don't dare to be so willful. Let alone how high the cost is, even if they are really rich and willful, the higher authorities will not agree to do so. We should know that many domestic aviation manufacturers are short of high-performance aircraft engines.
Among other things, yun-8 transport aircraft, a key product of Northwest Airlines Group, which is subordinate to aviation industry group, is eager for such high power to weight ratio, low fuel consumption and high power turboprop engines.
There is no way. Northwest Airlines Group has a set of effective improvement plans for all aspects of yun-8, but it is precisely because of the lack of excellent performance aeroengines that a series of plans can not be implemented. In the end, they can only watch their military transport business slowly eroded by China's take-off yun-17 and yun-18.
It's not that Northwest Airlines Group has never thought of seeking cooperation with China's take-off. After all, they have had very good successful experience in fbc-7a project before. However, aviation industry group, the subordinate unit of Northwest Airlines Group, must regard China's take-off as the biggest competitor and suppress China's take-off on heavy-duty aero-engine.
In such an atmosphere, even if Northwest Airlines Group is willing to cooperate, it will not have the face to speak. What's more, the aviation industry group, which is determined to gamble on the enterprise's transportation path, will not allow its subordinate enterprises to dismantle their own platforms at this time.
In the end, it can only be nothing.
Therefore, even if yun-15mini shipboard multi-purpose transportation platform appears in other enterprises, it is impossible to be equipped with powerful wd-70j-neo turboprop engine. However, China's take-off is different. They are high-quality aviation power manufacturers, so it is more arrogant to hold the hegemony of aviation power.
But this is not the most important thing. The key is that Tang Lili pointed on the screen behind her with a laser pen and said with a sonorous voice: "China's take-off has focused on carrier based aircraft for 20 years. Because of this, no one knows carrier based aircraft better than us, and no one is more willing to invest in carrier based aircraft regardless of cost than us..."
