Blooming America

On August 25, in a blink of an eye, the summer vacation almost passed. 《》Www../《》www../

In the new school year, the number of students in the school district suddenly increased to 80,000. This increase made many people ecstatic.

Catherine yawned.

At this time, Catherine was in Hawaii.

To be precise, it should be in Pearl Harbor.

And on the beach, here is the Hawaiian Star.

As the first ground-effect aircraft in the United States, the Hawaii Star is definitely a milestone.

"You really plan to build... a ground-effect aircraft carrier?"

Catherine looked at the plan below them, really stunned.

The news that Pacific Star will become a ground-effect aircraft carrier stunned Catherine.

This ground-effect aircraft carrier launch platform is on top of the ground-effect aircraft carrier.

In principle, it is the same as a car with a sunroof—at least the design drawing Catherine saw is like this.

The fighter jets are arranged in three rows up and down in the ground-effect aircraft carrier, and the aircraft is launched through the lift launch platform.······

But in this case, landing has also become a problem. But this is not without a solution-just like the current US military, they used an alternative method, um...similar to the method of refueling in the air.

As early as when the first fixed-wing aircraft came out, someone proposed a way to refuel in the air to extend the aircraft’s holding time or reduce the aircraft’s internal fuel load to facilitate take-off.

The first aerial refueling occurred in the 1920s. The method was to install a 5-meter-long hose on the tanker. The head of the hose has a valve that can be opened and closed quickly. When refueling in the air, The tanker lowered the hose and slowly swept across the receiver from the back and above. When the person on the receiver grabbed the hose, he gestured to indicate that the connection was successful, then inserted the hose into the tank, opened the valve, and started refueling. However, since the first aerial refueling appeared for more than 20 years, the new technology of aerial refueling was "shelved" by few people. It was not until the end of the Second World War that jet fixed-wing aircraft developed rapidly. In-air refueling technology. Only then "reborn".

Of course, this ground-effect aircraft carrier has nothing to do with "air refueling".

It uses the principle of "air refueling".

That is to keep the two relatively static.

When the speed of the two parties is the same and facing each other, it is basically prohibited.

At this time, the ground-effect aircraft and the aircraft are also decelerating. When the aircraft is about to enter the ground-effect aircraft, the ground-effect aircraft will slow down the relative speed of the aircraft through slow acceleration, so that the aircraft will not affect the ground effect at a certain speed. The aircraft produced an impact.

After reading this plan, Catherine was still in a cold sweat although she could not see more in-depth information due to confidentiality issues.

"Do you really have this technology?"

Just kidding, the technical content is huge, and if it's in the middle of a battle, the action of retracting the plane can be terrible...

This is really life-threatening...

"We are just trying something..."

The other party is also a little guilty.

But soon, Catherine's eyes returned to the Hawaiian Star in the distance.

The current Hawaii Star has installed eight guided missiles. One of the tasks it will do this time is to shoot targets.

—It’s not just that.

Under the Hawaiian Star, a "filter fairing" is also installed. This "filter" composed of rows of iron sheets can filter the air before entering the engine, such as moisture and gravel. Is filtered out.

This is the military solution.

But Boeing is unlikely to adopt such a plan.

Because if Boeing adopts this plan, it means that their costs will continue to rise.

They couldn't do this until they were forced to do so.

What's more, this kind of fairing will also cause the engine's horsepower to be reduced by 10% to 20%. The cost advantage of ground-effect aircraft is instantly offset by half.

And in this case, if Boeing still wants to play like this, their price must be greater than what they get.

And this thing is still a consumable, the use time limit is 300 hours, and it will be replaced if it is longer.

In other words, this is just a temporary solution to protect the engine...

The Pentagon is also looking for specific plans.

But the Pentagon feels that this thing is quite affordable.

"Moved!"

Elsa looked at the screen, the Hawaiian Star had already begun to act.

Compared with the giant Pacific Star in the design, the Hawaiian Star is only a quarter of the volume of the other side, but this is already a very powerful existence.

At this time, the airplane's engine was obviously different from the last time-there was obviously a strange device on it.

This is the filter.

On top of the Hawaiian Star, there are eight missiles placed diagonally.

Originally, they considered using the interior of the Hawaii Star as an arsenal, and then they could continue to launch guided missiles.

But afterwards, they temporarily gave up this idea, which is almost the same as the aircraft carrier itself does not require strong firepower.

And this thing' is also mainly for transportation.

"Our invention is the greatest and most advanced aircraft in the world!"

Yes, the Soviet Union became Akalin again...

Akalin, the greatest and most inexistent existence in the world...

"What about the Soviet response? I didn't seem to see how they reacted?"

Catherine seemed to be muttering to herself.

The news of the Soviet Union, the Soviets themselves have been very tightly sealed off. If most people want to know, it is really not a simple matter.

"The Soviet side launched an internal investigation... We don't know the specific situation, but this time the Soviets have been tossing for a long time."

Do they think the Americans are embezzling their technology?

Catherine guessed that the Soviets might think so.

The United States did not have a ground-effect aircraft plan before after all. Later, they suddenly had a ground-effect aircraft plan. The Soviets must doubt it.

The power of supercomputers is powerful. The Soviets didn't know this. Although they also did research, they couldn't think of what the development of science and technology could bring to mankind.

Technology is the primary productive force, Catherine deeply believes in this sentence.

"Everything went well in the last flight of the Hawaiian Star, but the loss of the engine is relatively large. If the filter is not added, the impact on the entire engine will be very large..."

The officer was explaining to Catherine.

This is not a general filtration, but to filter out all the sea water, gravel and so on.

Soon the Star of Hawaii flew up.

After flying in the air for a while, the following test began.

Eight guided missiles flew towards the target ship at sea.

The missile successfully sank the target ship.

"Papa Papa......"

Applause sounded around, and these people were obviously very excited.

After flying, it was a long test.

With the filter this time, they will continue to test the engine's loss during flight.

And the following things, Catherine did not care.

I can't manage it myself.

After being hosted for dinner, Catherine went to Honolulu or Honolulu.

"Well, we haven't been to Hawaii's beach for a long time~"

Catherine and Elsa walked on the beach holding hands.

Although I came to Hawaii, Catherine was suddenly interested in playing here.

Catherine wanted to come out and have fun.

Before, Catherine had never had such a good play and rest.

But now, it happens to be an opportunity.

Honolulu, also known as Honolulu, is the capital and port city of the US state of Hawaii. In Hawaiian, Honolulu means "shielded bay" or "shielded land".

Because sandalwood was abundant locally in the early days and shipped back to China in large quantities, it was called sandalwood by the Chinese.

Located at the southeastern corner of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands in the North Pacific, it extends on the riverfront plain.

Although located in the tropics, the Hawaiian Islands are located in the middle of the ocean, and the California ocean current can adjust the temperature, so the climate is mild and pleasant. The highest and lowest daily average temperatures in January are 18 degrees Celsius and 27 degrees Celsius respectively, and in July they are 23 degrees Celsius and 31 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature on any day of the year is rarely higher than 335 degrees Celsius, and temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius occur only once or twice a year.

It is the end of August, and the breeze is blowing, but it is very refreshing.

Catherine didn't have a swimsuit because of a temporary surprise. The two of them wore everyday clothes and walked on the beach with their bare feet.

"If only this world was as beautiful as Hawaii..."

Looking at the blue water, Catherine couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Hawaii, which has the best beaches in the world and an excellent environment, is definitely a good place to go.

"It may not be impossible, but it must take a long time."

Elsa said.

"I will one day... Well, speaking of it, can we buy our private island too?"

Catherine is rich now. As a rich man, how could she not have a private island?

At this time, Catherine wanted a private island~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Well, yes, the upper part can be used for vacations, and the lower part can be used to dig pits, and then build a hidden laboratory.

It’s a pity that I don’t have any gold fingers, or else I can secretly build a big wood.

"It's perfect for vacation..."

Catherine thought that when she used to vacation in the South Pacific, maybe she could buy her own island there.

Buying an island near the Great Barrier Reef is almost the best...

Although the secret base may be a bit too early, a place where you can enjoy your trip is good.

Catherine felt that she should be able to buy an island like this...

The time bug in Chapter 979 has been revised, and the network is cheating.·｀····

Hmm, the third shift is complete~
