Chapter 268 Moody Engine

Turn on the extra force, climb upward, and release the bait bomb at the same time. Then, press the operating lever, close the extra force, and let the fighter dive down quickly. The continuous positive and negative overloads made Yuji Ikeda vomit. ↑

Fortunately, the missile was first attracted by the heat wave of afterburning, and then climbed upward, consuming valuable energy during the upward climb. After Yuji Ikeda closed the afterburning and diving, the missile caught up with the hot flame bomb that attracted it even more.

Baga, the Soviet missiles are so abominable! Yuji Ikeda changed it from the dive and couldn't help but curse. Unfortunately, before he could say it, he heard an anxious voice in his headphones. 421, pay attention, the direction at six o'clock!

At six o'clock, his tail! The Soviets actually bit it? Yuji Ikeda heard the warning and immediately pushed his operating rod to the far right, and at the same time stepped on the rudder on the right tightly.

Want to bite yourself and then fire missiles from behind? There is no door! Yuji Ikeda adopted a simple tactic and turned sideways! Compare the hovering ability to see who is better!

Plaster Flag, are you playing tricks? Kovacevic just saw that the missile he launched head-on did not work. He dived downward and got rid of the missile. He pushed the nose and dived downward. From an altitude of 8,000 meters, he followed it all the way to three thousand meters. Then the opponent leveled and followed it. Just as he wanted to launch the missile, the opponent began to turn.

Follow! Just as the dive was just now, the wings swept back to the end. Now, as Kovacevic began to turn sideways, the wings automatically rose forward. The guys from Migoyan Design Bureau did a great job! The wings seemed to know what the pilot was thinking! Compared to manual control, Kovacevic was quite satisfied with the current control.

It depends on what tricks you have!

Flying to the left, to the right. For no more than five seconds in a straight line, Yuji Ikeda did not create any chance of locking. However, the Soviets behind could not get rid of it.

What to do? Yuji Ikeda gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled a switch on the side of his right hand, and pushed the accelerator to the smallest position with his left hand.

Damn, cunning islander! Kovacevic looked at the F-15 fighter jet in front and suddenly braked in the air. A big guy rose from the other party’s back!

When the f-15 was designed, the skin on the back was designed to become a large speed reduction plate, which can be opened at any speed without causing pitch changes. This 2.93 square meters speed reduction plate is unique to the f-15 fighter. Generally speaking, it is for use when landing, eliminating the reduction parachute.

The rear of the Soviet aircraft had a high dorsal fin, so the same design could not be used. In later generations, the beautiful Su-27 fighter designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau had almost the same equipment.

Now, this speed reduction plate is still a new thing. The speed reduction plate and the accelerator. The speed of the f-15 suddenly dropped, and the MiG-23 behind suddenly rushed to the front. Although the MiG-23 was also quite agile, the sudden brake in the air could not be done. At this speed, even if Kovacevic opened the speed reduction parachute, it was instantly blown by the airflow.

Generally speaking, no pilot will operate like this in air combat. The most important thing in air combat is energy! Only with energy can one create victory in air combat! If speed is lost, everything will be lost. For example, the Pugachev Cobra maneuver of Su-27, which exists like a god in the eyes of countless military fans in the later years, is just a flower stand for an air show, and has no practical significance at all.

Like now, although Yuji Ikeda suddenly slowed down, the MiG-23 behind rushed to the front, and at the same time, the MiG-23 that rushed out was quickly away.

Of course Yuji Ikeda knew that energy determines everything. He did this now because he had sufficient confidence in his fighter jets. The two f100 engines behind him had a single afterburner thrust of more than 110 kN. With a 13-ton airplane, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole machine reached 1.7! Among all the third-generation aircraft, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the f-15 was the highest and unparalleled! Even the f-22 in later generations could not compare.

Now, the secondary fuel tank has been thrown away long ago, and part of the fuel inside the machine has been burned out. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the entire F-15 is also around 1.4. It is not a piece of cake to chase the MiG-23 in front!

With this idea, Yuji Ikeda turned on the extra force and opened the accelerator, looking forward to the familiar feeling of pushing back.

"Boom!" A sound came from behind, and then a voice alarm sound came from the cockpit: "The left engine is broken, the left engine is broken!"

Afterburning is actually a circle of fuel injectors and spark plugs in an afterburning combustion chamber in the rear section of the engine. The fuel injects into aviation fuel, and the spark plug ignites fuel and generates more thrust. In this way, there is no more oxygen involved, and it is completely injecting fuel, and the fuel consumption rate naturally surges.

Now, with Yuji Ikeda's operation, the fuel injector began to inject fuel into the combustion chamber, but it did not burn immediately after injection, and the afterburning ignition failed!

In the afterburner combustion chamber, a large amount of fuel was increasing sharply. At the same time, in the core machine in front, high-temperature gas of thousands of degrees rushed into the combustion chamber behind with lightning speed.

"Boom!" This sound was a small explosion in the afterburning combustion chamber. With the explosion, a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas quickly formed, not only sprayed backwards, but also flowed backwards to the front!

This airflow flows into the outer duct and rushes to the front fan. The fan blades of the wings are stalled first! The fan stalls cause the first few stages of the compressor to stall!

Advanced technology requires risks. The US f100 engine technology is very advanced and is the first engine in the world to reach a thrust-to-weight ratio of 8. However, reliability has always been a big problem!

After equipping the troops, the F100 engine was prone to stalling, which was the same as the tf30 of the F-14! This inherent stubborn disease of the F100 engine is still solved by Pratt Whitney. In history, the F-15 fleet once fell into a large area in 1979 due to these problems, winning the reputation of the Hangar Queen. At the end of 1979, the US Air Force was even forced to receive the F-15a without engines and store it and wait for the engine.

The early F100 engine was moody! The solution given by Pratt & Whitney was to operate gently, especially not to switch and increase force frequently! In actual changing air combat, this was simply impossible.

Yuji Ikeda knew that he was in trouble.
