Emily's F-35 vertical takeoff and landing system also has significant drawbacks.
It means that a single vertical takeoff and landing consumes more than half a tank of fuel.
In addition, the F-35B has a maximum takeoff weight of only 16.9 tons in vertical takeoff and landing mode, and can only carry 2.1 tons of ordnance and fuel.
In vertical takeoff and landing mode, the aircraft's fuel and payload capacity are significantly limited, which directly affects its combat radius.
In addition, the fuel consumption problem of vertical takeoff and landing is not the only drawback. When taking off vertically, the aircraft can only carry a limited amount of usable weight, and vertical takeoff is also more dangerous.
Therefore, although vertical takeoff and landing capability has certain tactical value in certain specific situations (such as taking off and landing on ships without runways), its limitations in actual use are also obvious.
Currently, ginkgo leaves have not solved this problem either, and the empty weight of ginkgo leaves is even heavier.
It consumes more fuel than the F-35, and unless this problem can be solved, vertical takeoff and landing will be a joke.
Of course, it is currently being tested.
The fighter jet that Yuan Yi was piloting, which was modified with a vertical takeoff and landing system, was also the only one of its kind.
If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Yi was going on a mission, he wouldn't have made a special trip from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group to Beijing.
"Tower, tower."
"The gyrfalcon is ready and requests takeoff."
"Tower received. Takeoff is permitted. Ground wind speed is 4 per second. Sea pressure correction is 2."
"Received, Haidongqing".
After reporting to the control tower, Yuan Yi immediately activated the throttle valve to start supplying oil.
The three engines of Ginkgo Leaf began to roar and burst into flames.
The fighter jets were getting faster and faster on the runway, when they were only a hundred meters away.
Yuan Yi pulled the control stick and took off in a sudden, explosive motion.
"Falcon, the flight path has been sent. Please fly according to the flight path."
"Received, Haidongqing".
Yuan Yi operated the fighter jet with one hand and quickly tapped the screen in the cockpit with the other.
Then a path map appeared on the helmet he was wearing.
Yuan Yi pulled the plane directly, and it flew to an altitude of 15,000 meters.
Commercial airliners typically fly at an altitude of around 100 meters, with the highest altitude not exceeding 100 meters.
Commercial airliners typically fly at altitudes of 6,000-9,600 meters for short routes and around 8,000-9,600 meters for long routes.
Therefore, when Yuan Yi flew directly to 15,000 meters, he was also avoiding the flight path of commercial airliners.
The fighter jet carried two external fuel tanks but no ammunition.
This is also because the route is relatively long, nearly 15,000 kilometers from Beijing to the waters near Guam.
The Ginkgo Leaf's combat radius is 3,000 kilometers, and even with two huge auxiliary fuel tanks, it only increases to 6,000 kilometers.
For a distance of 15,000 kilometers, Yuan Yi needs to refuel twice along the way.
Fortunately, there were aerial refueling tankers along the route.
After Yuan Yi ascended to an altitude of 15,000 meters, he did not immediately reach the maximum speed of Mach 4.
Instead, it travels at a normal supersonic speed of Mach 2.
Unfortunately, supersonic speeds at Mach 4 consume even more fuel.
···············
Just as Yuan Yi was piloting the fighter jet toward his destination.
The naval rescue force, consisting of five Y-20 transport aircraft, has already taken off and is heading directly towards Guam.
There was no other way; due to the urgency of the mission, the only option was to deploy transport planes to the nearest island, Guam.
Then they are transported directly to the aircraft carrier by helicopter.
The five Y-20 transport aircraft possessed terrifying capabilities, carrying all the necessary equipment with them.
After communicating directly with Guam, the plane was able to land inside Guam Airport.
You're saying Emily disagrees?
Alright then, I'll just surround Guam.
"An island that is Emily's unincorporated territory in the Pacific Ocean."
Guam is one of their most important military bases in the Pacific.
The Emilyka military base occupies about a quarter of the island and is known as Emilyka's "unsinkable aircraft carrier" in the Pacific Ocean.
It also serves as a base for forward outposts in the Asia-Pacific region and is an important link in the first and second island chains.
Under pressure from our mother, only a few transport planes were docked, and they were monitored the entire time.
Meanwhile, in the Pacific Ocean, there are the aircraft carriers "Beijing" and "Modu" and their affiliated warships.
It is moving at full speed towards the area where the accident occurred.
At the Guam base, Commander Roved also received the news.
At first, he thought the other side was coordinating with transport planes to directly attack their Guam base.
He reported China's military operations directly to his superiors.
After all, there are currently no aircraft carriers in the military bases within Guam to counter them.
Emily's headquarters was also taken aback when they received the news.
He immediately questioned the Chinese ambassador.
However, after learning that they were not attacking Guam and after personally contacting our mother, the misunderstanding was cleared up.
This is one of the key reasons why transport planes can dock at Guam Airport.
But Mom didn't inform the surrounding countries.
The monkeys, especially the Japanese, were shocked when they received the news.
What is China trying to do?
Attack Emily's base?
Occupying islands in the Pacific Ocean?
Various speculations arose in their minds.
Everyone started brainstorming.
However, this does not prevent our aircraft carrier from continuing to move forward.
Just as they were asking Emily for information.
More than ten hours later, the aircraft carrier was the first to arrive at the crash site.
The submarine following the aircraft carrier began scanning the area with sonar.
Unfortunately, the submarine that followed was a conventionally powered submarine.
Internationally, submarines typically submerge at depths of 300-400 meters, classifying them as ordinary submarines.
The Russian Akula has a maximum diving depth of 600 meters, while the Alpha can reach a working depth of 700 meters and a maximum diving depth of 1000 meters.
Oscar's maximum diving depth can reach below 500 meters, while ballistic missile nuclear submarines, whether Delta, Typhoon, or the latest Borei, generally have a diving depth of around 500 meters.
Emilyka's maximum diving depth in Los Angeles is around 450 meters, while the Seawolf can reach 600 meters, making it the deepest dive site in Emilyka.
The Virginia has a diving depth of about 500 meters, while the Trident ballistic missile nuclear submarine has a diving depth of about 400 meters.
Current diving depth records: The maximum diving depth of active nuclear submarines is 750 meters, which is the Russian Sierra-2 class, and the maximum diving depth of retired nuclear submarines is 1,000 meters, which is the Russian M class.
This time, the aircraft carrier was accompanied by our mother's conventionally powered submarine, which can only dive to a depth of about 350 meters.
