Recently, the aviation circle has been really lively, our coach-10 Falcon trainer is going to make a big news - to transform into a double vertical tail version, this is not a small fight, there is a deep meaning behind this action!
Let's first come to the origin of the Falcon training plane,
It is the proud work of Hongdu Aircraft Industry Group, which is specially designed to train pilots who will fly third- and fourth-generation aircraft in the future.
This cargo is not only advanced in electronic systems, but also in terms of mobility, so the boys of the Air Force affectionately call it "Little J-10 Fighter". However, this single vertical tail design is used well on aircraft carriers, why do you suddenly want to change to a double vertical tail?
Hey, you don't understand this, this is not just following the trend, this is a strategic consideration!
Our Type 076 amphibious assault ship has a lot of origins, it is said that the tonnage may be close to 50,000 tons, and it may also be equipped with electromagnetic catapults. As soon as this thing is launched, the Type 076 will be able to catapult fixed-wing aircraft like an aircraft carrier, and its combat effectiveness will directly explode!
Speaking of which, you may be asking, what does this have to do with the tail of the Falcon trainer?
Don't worry, listen to me slowly. What do you think, if the Type 076 is such a big guy, if you use an electromagnetic catapult, the requirements for carrier-based aircraft will be high. The Falcon trainer with a double vertical tail may have a higher level of handling performance and is more suitable for the use of electromagnetic catapults.
In this way, the Type 076 amphibious assault ship can better exert its multi-purpose capabilities, not only carrying helicopters, but also fixed-wing aircraft.
And ah, what is the essence of the training aircraft? Train pilots!
If the Type 076 amphibious assault ship can be on top for a while the Fujian ship is resting and maintain the training of pilots of the catapult-takeoff carrier-based aircraft, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
Besides, our Type 076 amphibious assault ship will have a big role to play in the future.
It can carry not only UAVs, but also vertical take-off and landing fighters and even supersonic combat trainers. In this way, the combat capability of the Type 076 will be much stronger than that of the 075, and it will also be able to take on more types of missions.
Let's talk about the benefits of this pair of vertical tail designs.
It can enhance the ability to fly at high angles of attack, which is crucial for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land on aircraft carriers. Secondly, the double vertical tail design can also improve the stability and handling of the aircraft, which is also very beneficial for pilot training.
However, this double-tail design is not without its drawbacks.
It increases manufacturing and maintenance costs, and design changes are a lot of work. But considering the operational needs and future development trends of the Type 076, these investments are still worth it.
In short, the double-tail version of the Trainer-10 Falcon trainer and the construction of the Type 076 amphibious assault ship are important steps in the development of military equipment on the mainland.
They can not only enhance the combat effectiveness of the continental army, but also promote the development of the mainland's aviation industry and shipbuilding industry. We have reason to believe that in the days to come, the mainland's military equipment will become better and more advanced!
