When the war broke out, the fighter planes were changing rapidly. Whoever could seize the initiative would have a better chance of winning. In order to effectively improve our army's combat effectiveness, a few days ago, a top student in Tsinghua has produced the results of his own research and development for many years, which not only greatly improved the combat efficiency of Chinese Air Force , but also enabled my country to catch up with the world's advanced level in this field.
According to Global Network on October 12, a few days ago, in an military airport, located in the southeast of my country, a fighter jet accelerated its takeoff and raised its nose to head straight to the blue sky. The scene was quite spectacular. However, some people were unwilling to watch the scenery, but instead sat in the command room and stared at a small timer - this timer, which determined his research results over the past few years.
This Air Force lieutenant colonel officer is Wang Heng, director of a department of the Air Force Research Institute. He is also a top student from Tsinghua University . , a few years ago, he got inspiration from the Formula 1 racing competition: In order to seize speed, F1 racing will change tires and refuel without turning off the engine. If this technology is applied to fighter , wouldn’t it greatly enhance the attendance and combat efficiency of fighter jets?
But it is often difficult to achieve one idea, let alone carry out drastic reforms in the operation of fighter jets. Before that, in order to ensure the safety of fighter jets and pilots, the People's Liberation Army basically adopted the "first fuel and mount bullets, then ignite and take off" model. There is no doubt that his ideas can even be said to be "dangerous" in the eyes of many people. In order to make this idea come true, Wang Heng began a "track of key problems" that lasted for several years.
He led the team to constantly discuss and design one set of solutions after another, from the safe distance between the fighter jet and the refueling vehicle , to the timing of the ammunition carrier entering, to the ground fuel loss of the fighter jet... He led a large number of researchers to collect a large amount of data from various exercises and trainings, and then deduce possible feasible technical solutions through the data, and then find ways to implement the technical solutions into a "general model" that can be used by any airport or any army. This flight test conducted in southeastern my country is an "important inspection" on the feasibility of his research results.
His research results not only greatly enhance the attendance and combat efficiency of PLA fighter jets during wartime, but also enable China to reach the world's advanced level in this technology field. In fact, the technology he imagined appeared many years ago. In the United States, this technology is called Hot pit (also known as hot refueling), and has been used in the US Air Force for many years. As early as 2009, the F-35 fighter , which was not yet in service, conducted this test during the test flight. In addition to this, many US fighter jets including F-16 fighter , A-10 attack aircraft , B-2 bomber and other bomber also have this capability.
US Fuel Chief Sergeant James Holloway introduced that when using this technology, it can reduce the time for fighter jets to refuel and mount bullets on the ground by 66%, and there is no need to conduct ground inspections before cold start according to safety procedures, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of a tactical squadron. Just this year, the F-35A fighter of the US military's base in Okinawa also conducted a special "hot refueling" test, which compressed the time for the fighter to land and return to the battlefield to 15 minutes.
As the Chinese Air Force gradually masters and uses this technology, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Air Force will also be effectively improved, and it can deal with any potential threats with a more efficient and stronger combat effectiveness. It can be said that Wang Heng's research results are "priceless treasures" for the Chinese Air Force. I believe that in the near future, as long as China faces any threat, the Chinese Air Force will be able to use this technology to "reject the enemy from outside the country" with stronger strength. Of course, this will not be the end of Wang Heng's scientific research exploration. I believe that in the future, more talented military researchers will be able to produce more results, even no longer comparable to those of the United States, but completely surpass the United States.
