Chapter 550 - Losing Hands (1)
They were all either in the military or the Military equipment, this name was still on their mind. The name was so familiar, but the details couldn't be recalled.
"ground-effect vehicle." Guo Tai Lai didn't tell Zhao Yanyan about this beforehand, but when Zhao Yanyan heard the name, she immediately told him where it came from, "The Soviet Union started to study the Wing Earth Effect since 1923. After the Second World War, many countries joined in, but only for three minutes. Only the Soviet Union held on. In 1963, at the request of the navy, the Volga factory of the central design bureau of Alekseyev began the construction of the ground-effect vehicle. In 1966, the first flight of the aircraft was successful, the volume also expanded. It was not until the early 1980s that the Western countries discovered the aircraft through reconnaissance satellites. "Because of the size of the aircraft and the fact that it is travelling in the Caspian Sea, it is known as the Caspian Sea Monster.""The Caspian monster travels 7,500 kilometers and can transport 850 soldiers around the world at 800 kilometers per hour without being detected by any radar. The German Federal Intelligence Agency had known as early as 1975 that a model of the Caspian monster weighed 500 tons in takeoff. The wingspan is 50 meters and can carry about 200 tons. The Caspian Sea monster, ground-effect vehicle, has powerful attack power. It is equipped with 6 SS-N-22 white fly supersonic anti-ship missiles. " Zhao Yanyan quickly introduced the information once through and everyone had a general idea of what it meant.
When they heard that the speed of the Caspian Monster could reach 800 kilometers, other than Guo Tai and Zhao Yanyan, the other four were a little surprised. The sound of the huge take-off weight and payload made him salivate.
"Our country has studied the ground-effect vehicle numbers' 750 'and' 902 'since the 1980s." After speaking about the Caspian Monster's information, Zhao Yanyan continued to recount the related research in his country, "Last year, you also successfully tried to fly 'Tianyi One'. Of course, this is only a civilian model."There was one in the country? There were some things that were easier to do. The joy on Li Dong's face grew more and more, as he waited for Guo Tai Lai to reveal how this thing could be used.
"Simply put, when flying at very low altitudes, the aircraft gains greater lift and less resistance to air pressure near the ground." Knowing that everyone was not very familiar with this type of ground effect, Zhao Yanyan immediately introduced the principle of ground effect."Actually, I was planning to use this ground effect on cars in the first place." Guo Tailai calmly continued, "The car uses a specially designed undercarriage to create pressure to increase the ground level. This way, the friction force of the wheels will be increased and the car will become more efficient. You know, I built a faster car overseas a while ago. I paid special attention to this ground effect during the process, but it didn't work after that, but I had some ideas. "
Everyone suddenly understood, no wonder Guo Tailai could think of this ground-effect vehicle, it was the same principle used in racing cars.
"The other application is ground-effect vehicle. a special aircraft that takes advantage of the strong lift generated by the ground effect to fly. " Guo Tailai continued, "This kind of ground-effect vehicle can fly at very low altitude from one to six meters above the water's surface.""It is well-known that most modern cruise missiles have the ability to fly 'across the sea', i.e. at a height of about 10 metres or less from the surface of the water. Due to the curvature of the Earth, this sea crossing will effectively reduce the range of missiles detected by the enemy radar, so there is only a very short period of time for the missiles to be shot down. " As Guo Tai Lai spoke, everyone was listening. "But ground-effect vehicle can fly lower than cruise missiles and be more secretive."
"In the face of a conventional Sea Cleaving Missile, considering the earth's curvature factor, the shipborne radar installed 10 meters above the surface of the water could detect the target from 25 kilometers away, and for these ground-effect vehicle that are less than 6 meters away, the detection distance would be reduced to less than 15 kilometers." Guo Tailai said confidently.
Hearing that the distance was less than 15 kilometers, General Chu's eyes started to shine, Li Dong also started to rub his hands. After all, General Sun was still an army, and was relatively less sensitive in this regard.
"Can't these ground-effect vehicle be too fast?" General Chu asked as if he saw through the weak point in the situation."Compared to high-speed missiles, they can only fly at subsonic speeds." Guo Tailai nodded. "If the enemy cooperates with the AWACS, then unless our aircraft is stealthily designed, the distance discovered will increase greatly." "However …"
"There are many ripples on the surface of the sea, so it's hard to distinguish them effectively." Zhao Yanyan seemed to agree with Guo Tailai's words, "Although it's difficult to design invisibility, it's not impossible."
"Of course, we can make these assumptions." Guo Tai Lai smiled at Zhao Yanyan and continued, "One way is to use this ground-effect vehicle as a missile, an Earth Effect Missile. Different sizes and different quantities of gunpowder can effectively threaten battleships that do not have an AWACS alert. "
Everyone nodded their heads. Even if it was subsonic speed, it was still a cruise missile. If the loading was large, then just one shot would be enough.
"The other, as a missile launch platform." "Like a monster in the Caspian Sea, he flew to a place almost where he was going to be found and launched a high-speed anti-ship missile," Guo said. It is believed that the closer the range is to the launch, the harder it is to prevent. A few more shots and it will give them a headache. "
This was common knowledge, and everyone nodded in agreement. Li Dong had already begun recording in his small notebook. This thing belongs to the category of aviation and is indeed something that precision machine can do. It just so happened that in the past few years, someone had been researching and testing the flight.
"This type of aircraft is very fast. It's flying on water, and its speed is 10 times or even more than that of an ordinary ship. It's three times faster than a hovercraft." Guo Tailai gave a simple summary, "High safety, low altitude flight, in case of an emergency, you can land on the surface of the water at any time. It also has good wave resistance. Small machines can resist waves of about 1 meter, medium machines can resist waves of about 3 meters, and large machines need not worry about waves of 5 meters. On land, it can easily fly over deserts, swamps, snow, and if necessary, it can even fly to a height of tens of meters or even more than a thousand meters. "
"Of course, the most important thing is that the construction price is cheap." "It's much more effective than buying a plane or a warship," Guo said with a smile. "In addition, ground-effect vehicle s can use their flaps to freely retreat, hover and descend vertically. Using ground-effect vehicle s for landing, landing and anti-submarine operations would all be very effective methods."
"Also, it's cheap to use." Guo Tailai finally reminded him, "The fuel consumption is low! If the disputed island reef in the Southern Sea had this thing, they could fly around for a round every day to give them supplies and things like that. It wouldn't cost too much to build a ship to carry, which would save them a lot of money.
