Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 463

  Chapter 463 Second Generation Machine

  Fang Lang's words once again aroused heated discussions among everyone in the conference room. This news is a brand new way of thinking for everyone sitting here.

  After all, in everyone's opinion, who would think of installing radar on the plane when the ground radar guidance is already available?

  The discussion this time was obviously more intense than before, and soon some people raised their hands to ask questions.

   "Boss, is your news true?"

   Fang Lang nodded very positively and said:

   "Of course, this is still the confidential information of the Americans. Please don't spread it. But I can tell you with certainty that it is true, and this aircraft will make its first test flight within this year."

   Now the discussions in the conference room became louder. Everyone was discussing how this change would bring about changes in air combat, and some people were discussing how this technology should be realized.

   No one has come forward to say that this is redundant. After all, anything can happen during a war, and it is common for ground radars to be destroyed by people.

  If the plane has an air search radar, even if there is no guidance from the ground radar, it can still guarantee that they will not become deaf and blind.

  After discussing for a while, everyone gradually quieted down, and they all focused their attention on Fang Lang again, hoping that he could bring you even more surprises.

  Fang Lang did not disappoint everyone, and continued to say:

   "This latest jet fighter of the Americans, in addition to the air search radar equipped, has attracted my attention, and a brand new weapon configuration has also attracted my attention.

   That's the rocket.

  I think everyone is familiar with rockets. I even heard that among the people sitting here, some people have participated in rocket research in Germany.

  Why do I care about rockets?

  Because he let me see the future, some people may think that I am a bit exaggerated, rockets are like that, and it depends on luck if you want to hit the enemy plane on the plane.

  Then why do I say that rockets let me see the future?

  Maybe now they are equipped with unguided rockets, but remember that during the V-2 missile research period, scientists proved that missiles can be guided by radar beams, and rockets can obviously do this.

  Radio-guided missiles have already appeared, so it is not an impossible goal to miniaturize the missile, install it on an aircraft, and use radio and radar waves, or even infrared detectors to track the heat source of the aircraft for guidance! "

  As soon as the words were finished, the meeting room exploded, and everyone began to discuss whether these technologies were possible and how difficult they were. Soon everyone discovered that this was not an impossible goal.

  This also means that what Fang Lang said will come true sooner or later, and everyone can't help but start to respect Fang Lang. Obviously, Fang Lang does have his own deep understanding of the future tactics of the Air Force.

  These words today are also a good lesson for everyone, so that everyone has a new direction in the research of future aircraft products.

   There is no doubt that missiles will become the main weapon of future air combat.

Kurt Tank has even deeper eyes, and he has already begun to think in his mind. If, as Fang Lang said, after guided missiles become weapons in air combat, how will air combat tactics change? Those orientation adjustments.

  The discussion time was obviously longer this time, and Fang Lang was not in a hurry. He just picked up the water glass in front of him, took a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, and then quietly watched everyone discuss.

  Actually, needless to say, everyone understands that since the Americans have taken the lead in trying this, it obviously means that this direction should be worth trying.

  So, the voice of the discussion soon gradually decreased, and everyone's eyes began to gather on Fang Lang for the next time. Obviously, they were waiting for Fang Lang's next words.

   Seeing this situation, Fang Lang also smiled slightly, and said to everyone:

   "It seems that everyone agrees with my judgment on the future of missiles, right?"

  Everyone nodded in unison, expressing their approval one after another, Fang Lang also nodded, reorganized his language and thinking before saying:

  “Actually, I think that in the future world, missiles will become the most important weapon, a truly important weapon of a great power.

   What we just discussed is just a category of missiles. I will call them air-to-air missiles for the time being, that is, missiles launched from the sky and aimed at air targets.

  In addition to air-to-air missiles, there will definitely be air-to-ground missiles. Literally, everyone should understand that they are missiles fired from the air to ground targets.

   And these two are the main weapons of future aircraft. In this case, the air force's tactics will usher in a change, and air combat will become the attack and defense tactics of air-to-air missiles.

   Regarding this, I believe that everyone should not have too many doubts! "

   Soon someone raised their hand below and asked:

   "Boss, I can understand the offensive tactics between air-to-air missiles, but defensive tactics? Now that they can be directly guided and locked, how can we defend?"

   Hearing this, Fang Lang was also taken aback. He really hasn't studied how the plane defends against missiles. However, he has seen some thrilling scenes of avoiding missile pursuit in TV movies.

  Anyway, these are all on paper now, and he doesn't mind making guesses based on what he saw on TV. After all, the fighter jets produced in the future also need to have the ability to defend against missile attacks.

  “We Chinese have a word called contradiction. A spear is a long-handled weapon with a blade, which is used to stab the enemy.

  The shield refers to the shield, which is used to defend against the enemy's attack. If there is a spear, there must be a shield.

  So, with new air-to-air missiles, there will naturally be ways to defend against him.

   But to be honest, the defense methods I can think of now are very limited. Here I can only take out a few points that I can think of to inspire everyone and open up your ideas.

First of all, I think the most important point is that the aircraft must have a radar warning system. That is to say, when the aircraft you are flying is illuminated by the radar of an enemy aircraft and locked, it must be able to issue an alarm at the first time to remind the pilot that you Has been locked by enemy missiles.

  In this way, the pilot can detect the danger at the first time and respond immediately.

  The first reaction the pilot can do is definitely to maneuver quickly, get rid of the missile's lock, and let the missile lose its orientation.

   But this has higher requirements for the pilot, because the flight speed of the missile is often very fast. If you want to completely get rid of the missile lock by the maneuver of the aircraft, it can only show that the performance of the missile tracking you is not outstanding.

  With the continuous advancement of technology, the performance of missiles will definitely improve very quickly. If you want to avoid the tracking of missiles by maneuvering alone, the possibility will only become smaller and smaller.

  In addition to relying on the maneuvering of the aircraft, what we can do is to adopt different defensive measures against different missiles. As I said earlier, missiles can be guided by various means such as radio, radar, and infrared.

  Then, we can decipher these guidance methods of the missile one by one, and mislead the missile to transfer the target or detonate it in advance by means of interference and releasing decoys.

   As for the specific means, radio guidance should be regarded as the most primitive means. I can directly equip the aircraft with electromagnetic interference equipment.

  When encountering radar-guided missiles, we can release more signal sources to interfere with the judgment of the missiles. For example, throw tin foil behind the aircraft to create more radar reflection sources to deceive the missiles and let the missiles detonate in advance.

  For infrared guidance, we can mislead missiles by launching a heat source that is similar to the temperature of the aircraft's exhaust flame.

   However, these are some deceptive means. In addition to these, do we have any means to fight back?

  I have such an idea, when the enemy's aircraft radar irradiates and locks on our side, can we create a missile that specifically tracks the enemy's radar signal to attack?

   Of course, these are some of my assumptions.

  Actually, there is another method, which I think will be the most commonly used in the future, and that is to make our fighter planes stealthy.

  Hehe, I saw a lot of people, already showing an expression that I was talking about the Arabian Nights. Don't believe me, the stealth performance I am talking about here is not the stealth on the naked eye, but the stealth on the radar.

   And our Mr. Horton, the HO229 made during the war once achieved this effect by mistake, right? Mr Holden. "

  Mr. Horton, who had been sitting down and listening carefully, didn't expect that this question would come to him.

   But Fang Lang obviously knew about this problem. Although he didn't know why the HO229 made by his brother could do it, as far as he knew, this did happen.

  So, he nodded affirmatively and said:

  "Yes, although the HO229 we made failed to participate in actual combat, according to the feedback we got during the experiment, the radar reflection data of HO229 is only 40% of the size of ordinary fighter jets.

   Unfortunately, we ourselves don't know why this happens. "

When everyone heard the words, they began to whisper to each other. Those who had not participated in this project were completely unaware of this information. Therefore, now that Fang Lang brought it up here and was confirmed by Horton, it was the first time that everyone heard about it. There is such a thing.

  Everyone started to talk about it, and Fang Lang also came into contact with some invisibility theories in later generations, but unfortunately he didn't go deep into it. He only knew that it seemed to be a specific vertical shape, which could achieve a certain invisibility effect.

   Then, some special material coatings have the characteristics of absorbing radar waves, and can also make the aircraft invisible.

  But it is impossible for him to share this knowledge in such a public place. The previous air force tactics and missile tactics can be said to be his own speculations, but these technologies cannot be speculated.

   If you really say it by yourself, you might be taken away and sliced ​​for research.

   After much difficulty, after everyone finished discussing again, he continued:

   "Okay, the gentleman's question just now diverted our topic to the tactical thinking of missile defense. Next, let's return to the topic.

  I think that when jet fighters use air-to-air missiles for attack and defense, the performance indicators of the aircraft must also be developed around this tactic.

  We can classify the jet fighters of this period as the second generation jet fighters.

And the purpose of our meeting here today is to let everyone have a clear understanding of the tactics of the second-generation jet fighter in the future. In the future aircraft design work, we have a clear direction and can avoid detours .

  What I need to remind you is that I don't need you to be ambitious and go directly to the design of the second-generation jet fighter. This is just to give you a direction. In the end, we still have to return to reality.

  Start with the very basics of a first-generation jet fighter and lay a good foundation.

The requirements for the first generation of jet fighters I want have been conveyed to Professor Kurt Tank. I hope that all of you sitting here can work together to fully cooperate with the work of the professor and complete our first mission as soon as possible. Development work on a generation of fighter jets.

  Do you have confidence? "

  Hearing this, everyone in the meeting room got up together and promised loudly:

   "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

   Seeing that everyone in the conference room seemed to be agitated, Fang Lang nodded in satisfaction. Regarding the content behind the second-generation fighter, Fang Lang didn't say much, and he couldn't chew too much.

   Now that the second generation and the tactics that will be used are revealed in advance, it can be regarded as leaking secrets, pointing out the way forward for these designers of their own company.

  If you continue to tell them that in the future, with the help of early warning aircraft, guiding missiles to attack the enemy beyond visual range, or air defense missile systems, it may be too much.

  In fact, what Fang Lang said today is mainly to tell everyone that missiles are the direction of the future. These designers, including Professor Kurt Tank, have not yet gotten rid of the influence of close combat tactics.

  Fang Lang must reverse everyone's thinking, otherwise the aircraft they design in the future may fall behind before it comes out.

   This is absolutely unacceptable to Fang Lang.

In addition to missiles, it is about the application of radar on aircraft. I believe that after today's meeting, these designers will definitely attach great importance to the role of airborne radar. It also means that Kurt Tank's t183 The design may have to undergo major changes.
