The military patrol car went round and round to perform cleaning work in the flight test area of ​​the flight research institute, and any suspicious places would be checked.

At 9:45, several military vehicles came from outside.

Mr. Truman's attire today is very special, he put on a military uniform, the rank of colonel.

This is the first time Lynch has seen such a Mr. President, and he is a little surprised!

When he was wearing a military uniform, he gave people the feeling of being very capable, an old officer with considerable qualities, and one could even imagine his loud voice when he was in a bad temper.

Soon, Lynch withdrew his wandering thoughts, shook hands with everyone, and then began to introduce the jet that had been parked on the tarmac for test flight.

In fact, even if these people don't come, the Flight Research Institute plans to conduct a test flight recently to collect more specific data.

In order to prevent this test flight from becoming a "disaster", Lynch arranged for young, uninjured pilots to avoid accidents.

After all, no one knew what it was like before it went to the sky.

"Why don't I see the propeller?"

"Did you hide it?"

Peleus was the first to spot the problem, and the others just thought... there was something weird about the plane, but they couldn't say what was weird.

It wasn't until Peleus pointed out that there was no propeller, and they didn't!

The engineer then began to explain to these people and popularize the advantages of the jet engine-fast speed.

This may be the only good thing a jet fighter can find.

The consumption is high, the manufacturing technology is difficult, the material requirements are high, and even the requirements for pilots are higher than those for screw engine pilots.

But no matter how many shortcomings it has, it has one most special place, that is speed!

Taking the previous air battle over Penteo as an example, the advantage of the federal fighters is mainly reflected in their faster speed.

At present, air-to-air battles use machine guns to tremble at close range, looking for opportunities to bite the tail of the enemy plane, and then use the machine gun to solve the problem.

There is a very obvious gap here. If the front and rear aircraft are accelerating in a straight line, there is an obvious gap in the speed limit.

Then the faster flying aircraft can get rid of the rear aircraft more easily in one-on-one situations, and it is also easier to find opportunities to launch close-range attacks on the enemy.

It's that simple, doesn't take much advantage, is fast enough, and it works!

When military officers heard that it was very fast, they were immediately interested.

Lynch gestured, and the pilot entered the flight deck.

The shape of the plane is wrapped in a special camouflage color, and after flying, it will be closer to the color of the sky.

Relying solely on the naked eye, it is not easy to find its trace.

If you stare at it from the beginning, it won't be so troublesome.

Everyone is equipped with a telescope, and at the same time, there is a state-of-the-art camera that locks the aircraft all the way and shows it on the monitor.

As the "first test flight begins" radio rang, the plane's engines began to work.

In the exclamation of people, the plane without propellers began to accelerate.

Before the end of the runway, it directly pulled up to the sky at a large angle!

People's exclamations never stopped, and they kept repeating the words "too fast, too fast".

Even without reference to specific numbers, everyone can see that it is much faster than the mainstream propeller fighters currently in service in the Federation!

And many aircraft fighting movements are more pleasing to the eye!

Especially the kind of 360-degree swing, which is also an action that pilots often do during combat.

At this time, it not only showed a sense of speed, but also a kind of power, a kind of oppression!

In terms of speed, there is no room for the two sides to compare with each other!

The test flight ended soon. It was not that there was a problem with the plane, but that the pilot had a little problem.

He expressed some discomfort in his body, and after doing a few big movements, he felt a little dizzy.

He didn't dare to continue flying, so he applied to land, and the control tower agreed for it to come down.

Under the eyes of people, it landed cleanly, ran along the runway for a while, and stopped...

"Great!" Peleus looked very excited, "Its appearance will change our current tactical structure in the air force."

The other generals were not fools either, they immediately thought of the previous airdrop behind enemy lines.

At the current speed of the jet aircraft, it can easily throw off the mainstream propeller aircraft, which also means that it can easily tear apart the enemy's air defense front and enter the enemy's hinterland.

Even fly directly over the enemy's capital for military strikes!

During this period of time, the military is also summarizing various strategies and tactics since the outbreak of the war, summarizing some useful experience, and then organizing them into a book.

These are valuable lessons learned as part of the officer development process.

"So how does it attack?"

"Are they also machine guns?"

A major general in the Air Force had a question of his own.

If such an excellent aircraft still uses machine guns, isn't it a bit... off the chain?

Others also looked at Lynch expectantly. Lynch thought about it for a while, and then led these people to the laboratory.

"What you see next is currently top-secret content. I hope that after you leave, try not to discuss it in public."

Before entering a room, Lynch made a solemn statement, then opened the door and led everyone into the room behind him.

There are many monitors and printers in the room behind, and the researchers are busy.

Even if they found someone coming in, they just looked up and went back to their work immediately.

Lynch lowered his voice and began to introduce these people.

"It's a completely new weapon that we're developing for jet fighters right now, the homing missile."

Lynch ignored its project approval process.

Because this project is completely promoted by him.

The Flight Research Institute also planned to install machine guns on jet fighters at the beginning, and the engines of jet fighters were rear mounted, which saved the synchronizer.

But some problems were found in wind tunnel experiments.

When the design was started, the generated wave flow would disturb the flight stability of the jet aircraft, and it was necessary to reduce the speed in a lower range to obtain a more stable flight situation.

In other words, as long as the gun is fired, the speed must be reduced. Since the speed must be reduced, why develop such a fighter?

Just to escape with all your strength, or to go faster when you break through with all your strength?

It sounds good, but it can only be said to be meaningless!

Then the question was sent to Lynch. The flight research institute proposed to convert it into a medium-light bomber, but Lynch rejected it.

Lynch gave a new plan, a brand new offensive weapon, rockets!

At this time, he briefly reduced the distance of the missile. This thing is similar to some firecrackers similar to "Sky Monkey". The Federation also has such firecrackers.

The development of rockets is very fast, and Lynch gave more professional guidance, that is, fuel and shape design, which easily entered into specific practical applications.

But there is also a problem with the rockets at this time, that is, after being ignited, they either fly straight or fly randomly, with no controllability at all.

Air combat is very complicated, and the feedback is timely. No one is stupid enough to keep flying in a straight line for you to fight.

Not to mention the **** luck of the rockets flying around in the air and hitting the enemy plane before killing yourself.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research on rockets, that is, guidance.

When developing anti-tank guns, a researcher put forward the idea that "it would be nice if the shells had eyes".

This idea was considered by Lynch as one of the main solutions. He recruited some top research scholars in the industry and gathered them here to conduct a comprehensive study on the guidance of rockets.

"Currently we are using the video signal guidance method. There is a camera at the front of each rocket, which will convert the content captured in real time into a special video signal."

"We have two ideas."

"First, revise the overall design of the aircraft and arrange for auxiliary pilots to strike enemy aircraft through wired control ~lightnovelpub.net~."

"Second, research a kind of analysis equipment, let the instrument automatically correct the flight angle, and complete the guidance."

"The advantage of the first solution is that as long as the new shape design is completed, it can be mass-produced soon and play a role."

"But its shortcomings are also very obvious. Whether the rocket can hit the target depends too much on the personal ability of the auxiliary pilot. Once the auxiliary pilot dies, the cost of retraining is too high!"

"The advantage of the second solution is that as long as the technology level of electronic instrument guidance is sufficient, the accuracy will be higher, and it does not rely on human assistance."

"Its disadvantage is that the development cycle will be very long. At present, we have only solved part of it, and the total process is less than 20 percent."

What is carried out in the display is a simulation experiment, through different methods, to find the most suitable correction mechanism.

At present, the main thing is the change of the signal. We have already got a clue, but it will take time.

After visiting the entire laboratory, everyone was extremely shocked.

Especially when Lynch proposed that once these guided rockets are successfully developed, they will have their own eyes to attack the enemy, which made everyone feel unbelievable!

However, this is another real scene, and they even saw some changes in the plan!

In the conference room of the Flight Research Institute, Peleus asked a crucial question after some thought.

"How long will it take for these guided rockets of yours to be effective and installed?"

"Secondly, can rocket technology also be applied to ground-based or sea-based weapons?"

"You should add an agency that studies ground-based weapons and sea-based weapons instead of just focusing on the Air Force."

But after saying this, Peleus thought of something, "The last sentence is as if I haven't said it..."
