media: Chinese F -15 three shortcomings of aircraft carrier battle force fear unrestricted
South Korean military site, “the Silla Air Force Forum published an article in the July 5, 2012, debut of China’s latest No. 555 F -15 validation machine.

article, image released by China from the point of view, the aircraft demonstrator compared to Russian-made Su-33 carrier aircraft landing gear, engine and the overall startup layout did not change significantly.

In view of China early aircraft carriers is still difficult to steam catapults, which can cause engine performance limited aircraft carrier is difficult to be similar with US-made fighter confrontation.

At the same time, limitations in the design of carrier-based aircraft as a whole is also not fully break the bottleneck of the aircraft carrier.

First, F – 15 thin front landing gear indicates that the early Chinese aircraft carrier can not be equipped with catapult.

Recently, China announced a 555 F -15 demonstrator, based on the known material, which is the latest available F -15 prototype, which represents the basic techniques in this stage F -15 state.

the frame verification thin nose landing gear has shown a lot of backward technical details, including the most representative is its backward structure of the equipment of this type of fighter early Chinese aircraft carrier is still difficult to equipment, steam catapults.

contrast to the legal system the Air Force’s Rafale-B/C and the Navy’s “gust”-M is not difficult to find the Rafale-M has much more than the Air Force Model thick nose landing gear.

reason is very simple, on the one hand, the Rafale-M as a maximum plug-in to up to 9000kg of medium-sized aircraft carrier, its landing gear to ensure the safety of high-speed landing of the aircraft carrier aircraft carrier takeoffs and landings .

But more importantly, the front landing gear of the Rafale-M contains the aircraft carrier steam catapult rod mount point, not only that, the front landing gear also bear catapult traction section of the enormous tension.

This also explains why the steam catapult take-off Western carrier aircraft nose landing gear is very sturdy.

However, in comparison, No. 555 F -15 demonstrator, similar to the Russian-made Su -33 thin nose landing gear indicates that, at least in today’s stage of development does not have the steam catapult conditions the.

and if this type of The demonstrator represents the final state of the F -15 aircraft carrier, the equipment carrier aircraft of this type of early Chinese aircraft carriers will still similar to the “Varyag” to inefficient Ski Jump deck off the heavy aircraft carrier , resulting in the huge limitations of the aircraft carrier operational performance.

Secondly, the old F -15 engine indicative of its performance improvement is not difficult confrontation with the US-made aircraft carrier.

No. 555 F -15 demonstrator photos point of view, this type of aircraft still equipped with old Russian-made AL-31 series engine, which is also a Russian-made Su-33 carrier aircraft’s power device.

plane demonstrator is still in the mid-term validation phase before the equipment this engine is a different matter, but if formal shape F -15 aircraft carrier is still equipped with such engines indicates that, despite having its Su-27 fighter’s maneuverability advantage, but its integrity can be dragged down by the engine, making it difficult to confront similar with US-made aircraft carrier.

used

compared to the U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter F-100 series of high-thrust engines, the U.S. Navy’s F/A-18 series aircraft equipped with thrust F-404/414 series engine .

Although this fighter’s original design considerations, but the change made by the carrier-based aircraft engine compared to the Air Force fighters have a good reason.

well known ship-borne the most crucial performance of the machine is security for this carrier-based aircraft can be partially abandon other performance, which also explains why the “Hornet” series of fighters a lot of performance at a disadvantage compared to the U.S. Air Force fighter but still referred to as reason of the epoch-making fighter.

under the premise of ensuring the basic performance of the fighters, smaller, tailor-made engine is undoubtedly aircraft carrier, to bring greater security.

This also explains why the United States already has the F-100 and F-110, the two performance engine series, they still persist in development exclusively for the “Hornet” F-family equipment 404/414 series launch

the other hand, F -15 future may be equipped with Russian-made AL-31 engine, as well as Chinese-made “Taihang” series engines, these two power units are the engine of the Air Force upgrades from, in terms of size, longevity and fuel consumption are difficult compared with a dedicated carrier-based aircraft engine.

more importantly, the Russian-made AL-31 and China, “Taihang” engine compared to US-made special carrier aircraft engine seemingly slightly better thrust, in fact, is the destruction of shipboard Machine overall performance in return.

larger engine requires larger and more body with oil, and these are a direct result of the increase in size of the aircraft carrier, fighter size too large because of the limitations of the aircraft carrier volume need a smaller volume of Chinese aircraft carrier is fatal.

In view of this, the Chinese aircraft carrier will undoubtedly weakened by the overall performance due to engine limitations in the short term is still difficult and technical maturity of the U.S. aircraft carrier to compete.

third, F -15 overall design limitations indicates that China does not fully break through the bottleneck of the development of the aircraft carrier.

in the Su-27 fighter family, equipment few models of the canards, the Su-33 carrier aircraft is one of them. The layout to improve the performance of taking off and landing on the ship and decreased to a large extent or continuation of the practice of great importance to focus on the performance of the Su-27 fighter family.

we all know, the Su-27 fighters in the post-Cold War US-made F-15 fighters, a number of simulated combat almost victory, but the Russians are very clear, the Soviet-made fighter than the overall technical level of contemporary US-made fighter there is always about 10 years, the technology gap.

If you do not rely significantly enhance maneuverability in combat in the future with US-made fighter, the Russian-made fighter is likely to be in full disadvantage.

which is clearly opportunistic is suspected, while China in the process of R & D F-15 continuation of this practice will undoubtedly show still the bottleneck of the development of the aircraft carrier.

Russian-made Su-35 fighters of the development process has proven very limited, Su-27 fighters of individual models with the small area of ??the front canard fighters overall performance upgrade, which also explains why the final The stereotypes of the Su-35 fighters to give up the early models with front canards.

For carrier aircraft F -15 little canard arrival of unwanted weight around 1000kg, which, as weight loss, such as the life of the aircraft carrier is no doubt Achilles heel.

For this reason, in the F -15 is still using the old failure of the layout (the so-called “failure” is displayed only in terms of carrier-based aircraft), China is still difficult to change from the Ukraine T-10K (Su-33 carrier aircraft the original design of the prototype).

F -15 as China has spent a lot of time and energy R & D focus models, is still the existence of such limitations shows that China has not yet broken through the bottleneck of the aircraft carrier research and development from the independent R & D in China manufacturing a high-performance carrier-based aircraft and successfully integrated into the target there is a greater distance above the carrier.
