The Fujian aircraft carrier was launched
After my country's third aircraft carrier "Fujian" was launched, there are two aircraft carriers in the world that use electromagnetic ejection and arresting technology, namely the "Fujian" with a full load displacement of 80,000 tons and the "Fujian" with a full load displacement of 80,000 tons. The United States is fully loaded with the USS Ford with a displacement of 110,000 tons. Netizens jokingly call these two aircraft carriers "Fu". Comparing them together has become a hot topic of discussion, but if the squad leader says "Fujian" "" may become the world's most advanced aircraft carrier, can you believe it?
The Ford aircraft carrier conducts an underwater impact test
I believe many people will dismiss the squad leader’s point of view: Although the new aircraft carrier is advanced, after all, it is far behind the US military in terms of displacement and power. Let alone “Ford”, there is still a gap in front. With a "Nimitz" class! It is also a nuclear-powered 100,000-ton super aircraft carrier. How can we say that the "Fujian" is the most advanced in the world? Don't worry, in terms of overall combat effectiveness, there is still a certain gap between the "Fujian" and the USS "Ford" and the "Nimitz" class nuclear-powered super aircraft carrier. But if it is more advanced, then we really don't fear them, and may even go further. When we get to the front of the US military, if you don't believe it, just look at the US military's own report.
The moment the F18 carrier-based aircraft ejects and takes off
According to the 2022 report of the "Ford" made by the Americans: In the aircraft carrier's No. 18 Independent Voyage Plan, a total of 8157 carrier-based aircraft electromagnetic ejection operations were carried out, and 8157 times In electromagnetic arresting operations, the average failure period of electromagnetic ejection is 272 times, and the average failure period of electromagnetic arresting is 41 times. That is to say, electromagnetic ejection will fail after 272 consecutive operations, and electromagnetic interception will fail after 41 consecutive operations. break down. You may have no idea whether this data is good or bad, so let’s take a look at the acceptance standards of the US Navy that year: the failure period of ejection should be no less than 4166 times, and the blocking cycle should be no less than 16500 times. The actual situation is continuous Not one tenth or even one percent of the acceptance criteria was met.
The electromagnetic ejection and arrester failure rate is too high. The US military has not solved the problem.
Of course, the electromagnetic ejection and arrester failures of the "Ford" are not major faults, otherwise there would not be such a large number of ejections, but it is this "small fault" "But it exposed a big problem: Why has this "small glitch" that seriously affected the take-off and landing of aircraft carrier-based aircraft been unable to be repaired? There is only one answer - this fault cannot be repaired at all! This may be a recurring failure caused by an original design flaw. It is extremely difficult to repair and may even require a complete overhaul. Therefore, it has been delayed for several years without being completely solved. In the report, the US military also wrote: In order to repair the electromagnetic interception fault, it will take at least 1.5 hours just to shut down the system. If it goes to the battlefield, no one can say what will happen in these 1.5 hours. After all, during the Battle of Midway, Five minutes determine the outcome of a battle or even a war.
The Fujian is equipped with three electromagnetic catapults
The electromagnetic ejection system used by the "Fujian" is completely different from that of the "Ford". The Americans use alternating current , and we use direct current . Of course, we cannot conclude that our ejection system will be better than that of the Americans before the "Fujian" is put into service and has achieved combat effectiveness. After all, this is the first time for us that a big girl has boarded a sedan chair. However, it can be seen from the "shocky" decision of the "Fujian" to abandon steam ejection midway and switch to electromagnetic ejection. The electromagnetic ejection team must have come up with overwhelming advantages and convincing enough data for the senior management to agree to this decision. A risky plan. Therefore, it is almost certain that the technical level and reliability of China's electromagnetic catapult is superior to that of the USS Ford.
Academician Ma Weiming’s heroic words: If you lead, you will lead the United States!
Just as Academician Ma Weiming, the leader of my country's electromagnetic ejection project, once said boldly: If you lead, you will lead the United States! On the "Fujian", Academician Ma fulfilled his promise back then, and China's aircraft carrier achieved leapfrog development. If the "Ford"'s electromagnetic ejection and arresting faults cannot be solved, then the "Fujian" will be in this field It has become the most advanced in the world. When the 004 aircraft carrier appears in the future, we will truly set foot in the coveted "sea of stars".
