Chapter 39 Folding the wings turns out to be very simple
Qin Tao opened a new door for these future missile experts.
They tried various methods, but none of them solved the problem. In Qin Tao's case, a simple torsion bar was enough. Even if the wings were not folded, just changing the cross section of the launch tube to a square could quickly reduce the size of the launch tube. volume.
The huge six-pack launch tube they have now is the most clumsy method. With a little improvement, the problem can be solved better.
Zhao Ling took the three-dimensional view drawn by Qin Tao, looked at it seriously, and kept nodding her head. This Qin Tao is really amazing!
"old…"
“I’m not that old yet, call me Tao Zi.”
“Brother Tao, thank you very much.” Zhao Ling said.
Brother Tao called out, and Qin Tao was in a good mood: "Xiao Ling, don't just look at it, eat it quickly. Come, have a piece of braised pork."
As he spoke, Qin Tao picked up the braised pork from the second plate brought by Pang Jianmin and put it into the bowl in front of Xiaoling.
Everyone else is embarrassed.
Three men were at another table, which made it even more awkward.
"Xiao Ling, why don't you ask the three senior brothers to come over to eat together? Let's get to know each other, and we may have to deal with each other in the future." Qin Tao looked at the three people over there.
The tables on both sides were pushed together and merged into one big table.
Zhao Ling introduced them. The three men were named Zhang Dagang, Zhang Ergang and Xu Qiang. Among them, Xu Qiang was only one year older than Zhao Ling. They knew each other when they were in college. It was Xu Qiang who kept refuting them.
Now, the expression on Xu Qiang's face was a little embarrassed. He thought Qin Tao had no ability and could only talk rhetoric. Who would have thought that Qin Tao really solved the problem for them, especially this picture. Since it can be drawn, it is enough to It shows that the other party has thought carefully about it.
“Qin Gong, from your introduction, I am mainly engaged in ship design. Why are you so interested in missiles?” After hearing Qin Tao introduce his experience, Xu Qiang couldn’t help but ask.
He didn't want to be too close to Qin Tao, let alone call him Brother Tao, so he changed his title to Qin Gong.
"Missiles are also to be placed on warships. Of course I am very interested." Qin Tao said: "Speaking of it, it is really touching. If there were no delays, our Hongqi 61 would have been installed on the ship twenty years earlier. Well, now, even if it is installed on our warships, it is already outdated."
If Qin Tao had said this at the beginning, Xu Qiang would have definitely scolded him, but now, everyone has gotten to know each other, and eating at the same table has become a sigh of relief.
When the development of the Hongqi 61 was just started, it was on par with the Sea Sparrow and was not behind the times in terms of technology. However, the Sea Sparrow was already equipped with the U.S. Navy in a few years and became an anti-aircraft weapon.
There are reasons for weak technology, and there are also reasons for the times. Until now, it is still because we suffered from the lack of anti-aircraft weapons in the naval battle last year, so we can’t wait to install them on warships.
A frigate specially developed to carry this kind of anti-aircraft missile has been built at the shipyard. The corresponding weapon system has also been tested repeatedly on the modified test ship. The problems exposed have allowed them to test the technology along with the warship. The personnel are miserable.
After hearing Qin Tao's words, everyone was a little silent.
“Yes, it is already outdated. Although our products are about to be finalized and equipped with troops, the Navy prefers to imitate the Sea Sidewinder. This missile of ours...” Zhang Dagang, who is the oldest and has the longest development time, sighed with emotion.
"Yes, from various technical perspectives, the Sea Sidewinder is our better choice." Qin Tao said: "However, the Sea Sidewinder cannot meet our needs. Our navy must have regional air defense capabilities. Captain Zhang, what do you think?"
The Hongqi-61 and Sea Sidewinder, which have a range of about ten kilometers, are both point defense systems. They wait until the enemy's anti-ship missiles fly over and conduct the only interception. If they fail, they can only approach the anti-ship missiles and close-in anti-ship missiles. If you fail, then let nature take its course.
If there are regional air defense missiles, even if they are not placed at a distance of 100 kilometers, but only about 50 kilometers, then there will be two more opportunities to intercept and increase the survival probability of the warship.
Zhang Zhen nodded: "Yes, what our navy lacks most is air defense capabilities. Unfortunately, our own scientific research institutions are not strong enough, and the prices imported from the UK are too expensive, so we can't afford them!"
After the country opened its doors, the navy was eager to solve its own air defense problem. The most efforts it made was to contact the United Kingdom.
Just in the 1980s, a huge British fleet came to the east. A squadron consisting of the light cruiser "Antrim" (self-proclaimed destroyer), the destroyer "Coventry", the frigate "Lively" and other ships sailed Enter the Yangtze River, then turn to the Huangpu River and enter the military port of Huating.
The Chinese Navy stepped aboard the British warship and looked at the twin Sea Javelin air defense missiles, full of expectations. This type of air defense missile with a range of 70 kilometers is likely to become the Chinese Navy's air defense weapon.
According to the original plan, after the sea javelin system is introduced, it will be installed on the 051 destroyer and become the 051S regional air defense destroyer.
However, the project ended without any problems. On the one hand, the price demanded by the other party was too high and the country could not afford it. On the other hand, during the Falklands War, the performance of the sea javelin was mediocre and it was simply unable to support the future sky.
"The British Sea Dart is not good at all. This missile uses kerosene as fuel, has low energy density, and is too bulky. Moreover, we are provided with the ordinary 965 radar, which has no ability to search for low-altitude sea-skimming missiles. , the introduction is a waste of money. Even their 1022 radar uses pulse compression technology to modify the radar antenna and transmitter to obtain a lower side lobe level, which can suppress the interference of sea clutter and multipath effects. That's also It’s just so-so…”
The words Qin Tao said were very professional, and the three male and one female missile technicians opened their eyes wide again.
Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao with her big watery eyes.
"Of course, we don't have to worry too much. There will be bread and everything will be there." Qin Tao said: "If the west is not bright and the east is bright, we can always find opportunities."
Zhang Zhen suddenly felt happy: "Qin Gong, next time I go out, I can bring him back..."
Qin Tao is omnipotent. Last time he went out, he brought back the wake homing torpedo and handed it over to the relevant departments for study. Next time Qin Tao goes out, can he give Lao Maozi's ship-to-air missiles to him? bring back?
However, this is a secret after all, and it is better not to reveal it to too many people, so he did not continue talking.
"At most, we can bring back a separate missile, but what is the use of this one? The air defense missile is a system, including long-range search radar, target illumination radar, various servo systems, etc. It makes sense to have a complete set." Qin Tao Said: "It's not enough for now. When there is a chance in the future, we will get the modern class back."
