Chapter 3225: Modified aerial gunboat

How to install the artillery is the first question. Now, when Zhang Xing opened the design drawing, he was immediately stunned. In this design drawing, the main artillery was placed on the abdomen of the fuselage!

"First, let's remodel the abdomen, deploy a 20mm six-barreled machine gun, and enough ammunition bays, and at the same time, adjust its remote-control aiming device." Qin Guan said.

"Is this deployment a bit complicated? It's better to deploy it to the side." Zhang Xing said.

Qin Guan smiled: "There are also on the side, but this kind of abdomen also has the benefits of the abdomen. Think about it."

Soon, someone said: "Because our aircraft, the rotor is too big, if it is deployed to the side, it may still be accidentally injured."

At this time, in the hangar, the aircraft is folded. The tilt rotor of this aircraft is rotated to the most suitable angle, and even the propeller is folded, otherwise it will occupy a lot of space in the hangar.

So, now you can’t see it, but when you fly up, you can see its huge propeller. In order to provide thrust greater than its own gravity when taking off, the diameter of this propeller is very large, even if From the side door, a certain blind zone will also be formed. If you aim at the direction during the launch, you may hit your propeller.

But it’s not necessary if it’s arranged in the belly of the machine. The field of vision under the belly of the machine is wide, and it has an omnidirectional field of view of 360 degrees. It just has to be operated by remote control. It is better to operate directly.

"This is one reason, and another reason is that our aircraft only has a hatch on the right side, and cannot take care of the situation on the left side. The cannon under the belly has an omnidirectional field of view and can be used in any direction. The enemy on the ground launched an attack." Qin Guan introduced.

"Well, yes, but we don't have a 20mm cannon on hand." Zhang Xing said.

If it were a 730 gun, it would be available on its own. It’s just that this kind of thing is too bulky. The whole set is a few tons, and it can’t be installed. The 20mm six-barrel cannon that Qin Guan said is the M61A1 cannon of Ying Guoren. This is almost their most common royal aircraft cannon. It has a good performance, but it doesn't have one on its own!

"I've brought it here," Qin Guan said, "It's in the box over there. After you finish studying the drawings, you can install it."

For Qin Guan, who is assisted by the system, what he wants is just haste this time. After this actual test, he can mass produce in the future.

Qin Guan prepared everything properly, and everyone was quite happy. Then, Qin Guan continued: "As for the side door, we are going to use the side door to modify it, but at the back, we open a suitable opening and deploy. A Bofors L-60 40mm rapid-fire gun, in this way, can provide strong enough firepower, even if it is enough to hit the solid fortifications on the ground."

The choice of caliber is very important. If the caliber is small, the weight of the shells is small, and a large number of shells can be deployed, so that there is enough continuous combat capability, and the firepower with a large caliber is fierce. The other party was scared to death.

Therefore, Qin Guan also made this kind of compromise. In fact, these schemes were originally used for the V-22, and the Eagles even gave the V-20 aerial gunboat a special number.

This kind of tilt-rotor aircraft is still too small after all, so the 40mm rapid-fire gun is already large enough. If possible, Qin Guan would like to add a 105mm gun to it. A shot, but the recoil is too great, this kind of small aircraft can't stand it.

Because this cannon has been successfully installed on the V-22 Osprey, Qin Guan now introduces it like this, with the drawings, it is very clear, and the rest is to construct according to the drawings.

Since there are drawings, everyone has no psychological pressure, thinking that the factory is also improving according to this plan, especially since Qin always has drawings and directly brought artillery and sufficient ammunition, then it is appropriate.

How did they know that after the battle was over, they went back and were surrounded by the factory. They kept studying on this aircraft, and they admired how good the modification was. Their designers were not as good as the frontline. The maintenance staff.

Of course, this is something later.

On the third day, it was refitted. This kind of aircraft was pushed onto the deck for a test flight. A group of Marines surrounded it, and they were full of praise.

"Chief Qin, you are really good news for everyone." The Marine Corps captain Li Zhigang was still on the mission this time. He circled the plane, especially staring at the 40mm cannon on the side. Excited: "With this thing, it will be even easier for us to blow up each other's entire camp."

A 40mm grenade hits the ground, and one shot is a big pit. This is a rapid-fire gun, which can carry a large number of five-shot magazines. If it is hit, it will be a pleasure.

"No, this weapon is mainly to provide you with cover." Seeing Li Zhigang's excitement, Major Yang said from the side: "The main weapons we plan to blow up their camp are our naval guns and cruise missiles. "

This time I used a sledgehammer. With this air gunboat with modified weapons, it was easier for them to perform their tasks. However, this aircraft was mainly used to cover them and blow up camps. The big killer can be used.

In the launch unit of destroyer 170, a part of cruise missiles are mixed, and their own 203mm naval gun is also a weapon for long-range strikes. Ordinary indicator grenades can reach 20 to 30 kilometers while launching special rockets. The extended-range guided artillery shell can now hit seventy kilometers away.

It is perfectly possible to launch the runway and kill their camp on the high seas, and when the 203 mm artillery shells fall from the sky, the scene must be quite spectacular.

"Understood, let's go up and try the cannon." With that, Li Zhigang walked up with a few gunners.

After the installation is complete, test the gun to make sure it is in normal condition, so that you don't need to drop the chain when you actually use it.

The pilot Di Yun jumped into the cockpit. As a navy pilot, Di Yun was very proud. He often claimed that he hadn't flown by the space shuttle, and that all kinds of airplanes were not a problem.

In fact, if you want to fly a plane for the Marine Corps, you really have to be a generalist. He has flown various airplanes and even has experience in operating fixed-wing aircraft landing on an aircraft carrier. Of course, it is a two-seater. Coach type, not a dedicated F-15 fighter.

Now, Di Yun was skillfully operating the tiltrotor, leaving the deck like flowing water, and soon, there was the sound of tom tom cannons on the distant sea.

"Yes, it's the killer we need most!" Li Zhigang's voice came from the radio, very proud.
