Chapter 145 Herbst Maneuver
145 Herbst motor
Four fighter jets returned to the field.
Chen Fei and Li Donghai landed one after another.
Climbing down from the fighter plane, Chen Fei walked towards Li Donghai who had been waiting aside.
What a pity!
Chen Fei shrugged and made an expression at Li Donghai.
Tonight, he originally hoped that Li Donghai could kill the alien fighter plane, so he first informed Li Donghai. Unfortunately, the final fruit was picked by two other guys.
However, Li Donghai just smiled, and there was no expression of loss on his face. This guy's heart was as broad as Chen Fei had seen. There were really few things that could influence his emotions. If Qin Qingyu went up today, he would have been muttering about his regrets today for several days.
The two of them had just walked a few steps, and someone shouted behind them: "Chen Fei, Li Donghai!"
The two stopped and turned around.
It is the pilot of Yao Sanyao and Yao Sanliang.
These two pilots have just turned from other stations and are not very familiar with Chen Fei and Li Donghai.
Pilots between bases often make a transition, usually every month, sometimes at this station, sometimes at another station. Because Chen Fei and his team are new to the army, their superiors have not arranged for their transition, but they may have to make a transition next month.
Chen Fei and Li Donghai saluted the two guys. The two guys had higher military ranks. The two guys gave back the gift. Then, one of them smiled and said, "Chen Fei, Li Donghai, thank you for your affairs today!"
"You're welcome, everyone is brother, it's up to you." Li Donghai and Chen Fei said with a smile.
After a few more greetings, everyone separated.
After handling the relevant procedures, Chen Fei returned to the dormitory.
He killed another alien fighter today. In addition to obtaining some conventional attributes, he also obtained the master-level Herbst mobile phone. He needs to study it carefully.
Herbst maneuver has a relatively popular title, hairpin maneuver. The reason why it is called hairpin maneuver is that the entire flight trajectory of the aircraft doing this action is like a big hairpin.
The plane enters horizontally, pulls upwards, flies upwards incline, and jumps to the top, which is at an almost vertical angle. It turns around and turns back down. The track from up to down is very similar to a girl's hairpin, so it is called a hairpin maneuver.
Herbst maneuver is a type of maneuvering on the wall.
What is stomping?
Simply put, it is like a coherent movement of swimmers touching the wall with their hands, turning around, and kicking their legs during the competition, allowing themselves to quickly change their direction of progress from a large angle, and this process should be as short and fast as possible and as efficient as possible.
It is generally common to turn back the maneuver with a flight trajectory greater than 90 degrees, which are collectively called pedaling maneuver.
Therefore, Herbst movement is just one of the motors that pedal the wall, and it cannot be said that Herbst movement is pedal the wall.
There are other actions in the pedal maneuver, such as the boomerang maneuver made by the MiG-29. It is similar to the cross dart thrown in a juggling show, spinning all the way back to the performer's hands, which is also a pedal maneuver.
The biggest tactical function of Herbst maneuver is that it can be used to get rid of incoming missiles.
The fighter was in front and the missile was chasing behind the butt. The pilot decisively asked the fighter to pull it up. When the fighter reached its apex, he turned around and returned from the original path.
When the fighter reaches its apex, if the pilot releases jamming bombs, the missile is likely to fly up to a high altitude, while the fighter quickly turns from passive to an offensive situation.
The key to Herbst's maneuver is to require the plane to stay at the corners as short as possible, rather than singing and dancing there like "falling leaves floating".
There are many fighter jets that can do Herbst maneuver, but different fighter jets have very different understandings and applications of this tactical maneuver.
For example, F-22, Su35, and J-10b can all do Herbst maneuver, but their methods and processes are very different.
After Su 35 was pulled up, the pilot quickly slowed down. When the fighter reached the apex, the fighter stalled. Then, the pilot relied on vector thrust to complete the turn at the apex.
F22 has also performed Herbst maneuver. His flight trajectory is like this: the fighter flies forward and enters at a high angle of attack. Simply put, the head of the aircraft is raised, and then the fighter turns 180 degrees clockwise, and at the same time raises his head and presses his tail, and the fighter returns to the level flight state.
Regarding the Herbster maneuver of F22, Chen Fei and Li Donghai and others often discuss it privately. Everyone believes that the arrangement of the F-22 is actually more focused on viewability and is not very practical: First, this set of actions seems to be dragging, losing the characteristics of rapid change of flight trajectory given by the pedal maneuver. The tactical purpose of Herbster maneuver is to get rid of the missile's pursuit and counterattack immediately, so when changing the direction, you must be fast, accurate, and never drag; Second, the nozzle of the F-22 is deflected up and down, which should have been
Taking advantage of the advantage of high-angle deflection upwards, the aircraft was allowed to do backflips in situ; but they used a thrust difference rotation body, which was not an advantage. The f-22's double-engine is relatively close, unlike the Su-35's double-engine distance. When the thrust difference is the same, the force arm is shorter and the rotation rate is relatively slow. Third, since it is rotation, it should turn at a larger angle, or accelerate dive after turning, but the f-22 goes the opposite way, lifting the head and pressing the tail, so that the aircraft will float down in a horizontal posture.
So relatively speaking, Chen Fei still thinks that the J-10 B Herbster maneuver is the best at the air show.
When the J-10b climbs rapidly and enters a stall state, under the combined action of vector thrust and canards, the aircraft rolls while doing backflips, and at the same time presses the head and lifts the tail of the plane, and the head of the plane quickly points down.
The entire set of hairpin maneuvers of the J-10b is like a swordsman, who stops quickly, turns around, draws his sword, and does it in one go without any fancy moves.
The J-10b is an omnidirectional vector thrust plus canard. It is very simple to perform decomposition actions like Su-35. First, the backflip is completed by deflection of the nozzle, and then the differential between the canard and the rear flap is responsible for rolling.
In the past, Chen Fei's understanding of Herbster's maneuver was basically at this level, but this time, after he gained master-level Herbster's maneuver experience, his understanding and understanding of this tactical maneuver became much higher.
Many fighter jets can be used for Herbst maneuver, but different fighter jets have different methods. The differences in these methods are, on the one hand, the differences in pilot flight skills, but more often are the differences in fighter performance. Chen Fei can have a deep understanding of the performance of various fighter jets by flying and understanding the hairpin maneuver of various fighter jets.
This is the greatest significance of master-level Herbst maneuver.
After the emergence of medium-range weapons, although the air combat format has changed a lot, close air combat is still inevitable.
Due to the future changes in the air combat environment, especially the soft killing environment of electronic warfare, the role of air combat beyond the visual range will be suppressed. The emergence of passive radar will make the large radar developed under the guiding ideology of "discovering first, launching first" easier to expose itself before the enemy is discovered. The powerful killing of electronic warfare will suppress the large radar to a very small discovery distance, causing the excess visual range to be invalid.
In addition, the enhancement of stealth capabilities of all parties will gradually disappear from the overwhelming advantage of stealth fighters, and in the end, stealth fighters of comparable levels will appear against stealth fighters. Over-visual air combat can only become close air combat or visual air combat!
Therefore, in the future, air combat will still coexist with long-range air combat and close-range air combat. For the next generation of fighter jets, the ability of over-visual air combat and close-range super-motorization are equally important.
Therefore, how to win the opponent in close air battle has always been a question Chen Fei has been thinking about.
Chen Fei kept meditating for two hours.
Chen Fei gained a lot after these two hours of meditation, even allowing him to surpass many pilots' further study for several months or even half a year.
Dongdongdongdongdong.
A knock on the door suddenly rang.
"The door is not closed, please come in!" Chen Fei quickly stood up.
Soon, with a creaking sound, the door opened, and a strange face walked in: "Comrade Chen Fei, hello, the political commissar asked your Shenlong Squadron to go to his office!"
political commissar?
Chen Fei was stunned.
Chapter completed!
