Vol 2 Chapter 1836: Air automatic refueling technology

On the other side, Wu Hao accompanied the elderly and drove to the field airport where he went before. See again

Seeing Zhang Kefeng, Li Fangfang and the others again, Wu Hao found that these people were all refreshed, and they didn't look a little drunk.

Even Luo Kai, who is not good at drinking, is still full of energy. It made him very depressed. Could it be that he, a young guy, couldn't drink a few old guys in his forties or fifty.

Knowing that the leaders are coming, all the fighters in the field airport have been put into storage, and all the personnel lined up to greet them.

In this regard, the old man said a few words immediately, and then went directly to the topic.

First of all, everyone went directly to the hangar, where the smart attack drone that performed very well in this exercise was placed.

Of course everyone walked into the hangar, and a stealth drone full of science fiction appeared in everyone's field of vision. The shape of this smart attack drone resembles a dart or the arrow of a sharp sword. It is relatively flat, with two vertical tails at the back, and two small jet engines below it.

Double spray, and the tail spray is concentrated in a rectangular nozzle, the shape is a bit like the rectangular nozzle of F_22.

The position of the cockpit of the UAV's intelligent attack drone is still a glass cockpit. However, the inside is very small and cannot accommodate one person. Apart from some control buttons in the cockpit, the most interesting thing is naturally the optical synthetic aperture radar.

It is like a pilot's head, standing in the glass cockpit, on which is installed a number of honeycomb six-sided compound eye lens.

At the nose, there is also a conformal optical viewing cabin integrated into the fuselage, and then there are shark gill-style air inlets on both sides.

The belly of the aircraft is close to the two sides of the aircraft, and two internally filled magazines are set up, and in each magazine are suspended four mid-range fighting ammunition.

In addition, three hidden hanging points are designed under the wings and belly, which can be used for combat with external ammunition according to the needs of the mission.

Everyone looked around the 嫫徯 smart attack drone, and then they couldn't help showing an expression of interest.

The old man looked at this unique-looking Fuli Smart Attack UAV, and then smiled at Wu Hao and asked, "This is the UAV that defeated all the Red Air Force pilots in this exercise?"

Wu Hao smiled and nodded and replied: "That's right, this drone. Our internal code name is ‘凫徯’. This is an intelligent multi-purpose attack drone."

Look at this appearance and the attack series drones we listed are not much different? An old man nearby looked at the drone and couldn't help but ask his own question.

Hearing this old man's words, the old man smiled and replied: "How can the performance of weapons and equipment be good or bad from their appearance? If that's the case, then let's just hold a beauty pageant. What else can we fight? "

After finishing speaking, he bent down and took a closer look at the magazine below, then patted the wing and asked Wu Hao: "What is its combat radius?"

At present, close to its own fuel, the combat radius is about 800 kilometers, and if the auxiliary fuel tank is installed, the combat radius can reach about 1,200 kilometers. If the oil receiving pipe is installed for aerial refueling, the combat radius can be greatly strengthened. Faced with the old man’s question, Wu Hao was in the chest, as Jiazhen said.

Hearing his introduction, the old man and everyone present nodded. I am very satisfied that this 凫徯 Intelligent Attack UAV can achieve such a combat radius.

You should know that the size of this smart attack drone is not big, and it is slightly smaller than the J-10 aircraft. What's more, a small twin engine is used, which consumes more fuel.

And it uses this kind of flat stealth design, so the oil storage is limited. Under so many conditions, relying on its own fuel can reach a combat radius of 800 kilometers, which is already very good, and it can be said that it is about to match the current main model ‘villain’.

The addition of two auxiliary fuel tanks can also increase the combat radius of 400 kilometers, which is almost a general increase, which is absolutely ideal. The combat radius of more than one thousand kilometers, although not far, is sufficient to deal with most combat missions.

Not to mention the fact that Wu Hao mentioned in his words that this 凫徯 smart attack drone can also be equipped with a fuel tube for aerial refueling.

So when I heard this, someone could not help asking: "Does your smart drone still support aerial refueling? This foreign military has experimented with only a few of them, and the technical requirements are very high."

Hearing this question, Wu Hao smiled and replied: "At present, the Fuling Smart Attack UAV in front of you is not equipped with aerial refueling equipment, so it does not have the aerial refueling function.

However, we have already begun research in this area, and it is expected that the improved model will have the ability to refuel in the air.

And compared to the pilot's control of refueling, the automatic aerial refueling and receiving system will be more efficient, and the docking and refueling time will be greatly reduced.

In addition, in addition to the automatic refueling device installed on this smart attack drone, we are also actively researching automatic refueling technology. At present, there are also technical prototypes and are under active research. "

Hearing Wu Hao's words, many people present were bright, especially the leaders of several air forces showed great interest.

If this set of automatic aerial refueling technology is successfully developed, it will greatly increase the combat radius and time spent in the air for Air Force fighters, and increase their combat effectiveness.

You know, the technical difficulty of artificial aerial refueling is very high~www.readwn.com~ requires special training. The Air Force’s pilots who can refuel in the air are also very limited.

If this set of automatic aerial refueling technology is mature, it will be able to benefit most fighters and pilots. It is precisely because of this that these talents will be so interested.

Upon seeing this, the old man smiled at Wu Hao and said: "Wait a moment, you first introduce to us the aerial automatic refueling system you have developed. I believe you are very interested in this."

Hearing the old man's words, Wu Hao nodded in response, then organized the language and introduced it to everyone.

In fact, this set of automatic aerial refueling technology is a technical project derived from our 凫徯intelligent attack drone project.

In order to improve the combat effectiveness of this UAV, our project research team came up with a lot of ideas. In the end, we believe that increasing the air suspension time and combat radius of this drone is also beneficial to the overall performance and combat effectiveness. A huge improvement.

So after that, we conducted relevant research in this area and developed several solutions. This is the additional fuel tank solution, the expansion of the drone volume, the increase of the fuel tank volume, and this air automatic refueling technology.
