It is also because of this theory that John Beard, who has passed away for nearly twenty years, has become a great man in the field of human aviation, reached the peak, and influenced the development of human aviation.

How much influence does this theory have?

Every third-generation fighter designed by countries around the world has energy maneuver as the core, and cannot avoid this theory at all. It rubs the theory of the ultimate bombing mechanism on the ground and kneades back and forth.

Whether it is the American magic weapon F-15 "Eagle", F-16 "Falcon", or the air dream team composed of the F-18 "Hornet" family, or the noble and elegant Su-27 family, the domestic J-10 series and J-11 series, and a large number of mainstream fighters in Europe and the United States.

The scope of the third-generation fighter jet is entirely based on the theory of energy maneuverability.

The entire theory was not until the ultra-visual-range air combat and missile technology matured, and the first fourth-generation stealth fighter F-22 "Raptor", appeared, and the importance and influence of the energy maneuver theory decreased, so people took their attention to stealth performance and ultra-visual-range air combat.

But even so, energy maneuver theory still occupies an important influence in the current aviation field, and even the design of the fourth-generation stealth fighter cannot be avoided.

No one dares to guarantee that there will be no close combat and air combat in future wars. This is true. The three fourth-generation stealth fighters currently in service all emphasize maneuverability and integrate energy maneuver theory into it.

This theory is the key knowledge that needs to be learned in the third year of flight training.

Zhou Hai clearly remembers every word and punctuation mark about this theory and has his own understanding of it.

Close combat air combat, this type of battle, is still a forbidden area of ​​energy maneuver theory, and an inviolable territory - which side has a high remaining power and which side wins.

energy!

The most important energy!

The entire theory, based on the physical laws of thermodynamics, cannot be overcome or violated.

"Well, it's true. In close combat, the most important thing in flying is to maintain energy. You must not be rigid. You must adapt to changes and flexibly use various techniques. You must predict how the enemy should fly next, see further, and plan slowly, rather than be eager for quick success or instant benefits."

Hearing Zhou Hai's answer, Li Fu held the joystick handily and nodded. While controlling Chu Jiao Liu's head-up climbing and rolling and flying, he explained: "Look, let's assume there is an enemy aircraft of the same performance behind. When it bites our tail, remember not to panic. We can use high-end tactics to climb the lever, exchange speed for a height advantage, and at the same time roll with the cockpit facing down to observe the flight attitude and trajectory of the enemy aircraft."

The actual lectures are provided with rolling experience, and this feeling is definitely not something that normal people can enjoy.

In the narrow cockpit, looking at the outside world, almost dizzy. In a blink of an eye, Zhou Hai was in a state of upside down again, with his head facing the earth and his butt facing the sky.

If an ordinary person has a bad sense of space, he will be confused at this moment, and there is a high probability that he will misjudgment his position and direction.

Moreover, this is just the simplest first-class training aircraft, not a modern fighter aircraft in the true sense.

Below the sixth day of the Chucai Six, there seemed to be an invisible enemy aircraft, which was caught off guard and lost its target and advantageous attack position.

The characters of hunters and prey changed suddenly.

"After observing, we must respond immediately and never hesitate. Assuming the target is in a short-term flat flight state, we will find our traces, and we will fly out of a large-angle arc trajectory, and then exchange altitude for speed advantage, and obtain attack placement and bite the enemy's tail."

Li Fu's face was calm and controlled the sixth grade of the first class to enter the dive acceleration stage. The nose was aimed at the front, and then the plane changed to level and flew out:

"Of course, in practice, you can turn sharply on the left and climb and roll with a large elevation angle, or do a roller maneuver, dive to make a low-young maneuver, etc., don't be rigid and stiff. But I want to remind you that low-young maneuver will cause energy to be exhausted, and in exchange for a short-term attack placeholder. Unless you have the idea of ​​killing with one blow, do not use low-young maneuver."

99% of fighter pilots will choose the former for the two air combat maneuvers of Gaoyou and Low Youyou, because the energy revenue and expenditure of the former are basically balanced. If a fighter equipped with a vector engine, it can even make a surplus.

The low-level air combat maneuver uses altitude for speed, then speed for altitude, and finally for a shooting window that is less than a few seconds.

The entire maneuver will greatly consume the energy accumulated by the warplane.

Unless you have reached a desperate situation, unless you have a belief that you must kill with one blow, you can make a low-spirited maneuver in normal circumstances, which is completely a matter of seeking death.

"I see."

Hearing the air combat concepts and experiences taught by Li Fu, Zhou Hai's face looked serious, and he was shocked all over. He took a deep breath and kept all the knowledge that had never been recorded in his books.

experience!

All of these belong to Li Fu's flight experience, which is close to actual combat, rather than the theoretical knowledge given in books.

"We are air force pilots, and we are also a fighter category. We are definitely not the group of people in the civil aviation who only know how to look at instruments and takeoffs and landings. Do you know? Fight! Our responsibility is to fight, our mission is to fight, and everything we seek is to fight, fight in the sky, rather than rigid and rigid flight."

Li Fu's face showed a hint of coldness, his eyes were solemn, and the elegant atmosphere in his body disappeared, and was replaced by a murderous aura, slowly transmitting his accumulated experience to Zhou Hai: "Zhou Hai, what is the core of air combat? It is to try every means, use all your abilities and skills to eliminate the enemy and win."

fighting!

This is the real responsibility and mission of Air Force fighter pilots, and it is also the core factor that has always remained high in the danger of this occupation.

What is a civil aviation pilot?

During the entire flight, you only need to take off and land. The rest of the time is only about the instrument, and everything is left to automatic flight driving.

After hearing Li Fu's words, Zhou Hai's eyes twitched and his tongue was stuttering in his heart. He didn't expect that his master would have such a side.

Stiff and rigid?

This metaphor, Zhou Hai could only remain silent and did not dare to say anything.

After all, civil aviation is also a serious pilot. What should we do?

I have always heard that Air Force pilots look down on civil aviation, but now I see that it is true.

However, Zhou Hai was very helpful to Li Fu's experience.

fighting!

Indeed, the mission and responsibility of air force pilots, especially fighter pilots, is to fight, and use the skills and knowledge they have learned to guard this blue sky - its own sky.
