In the United States began the real tests of the turbo-electric aerofinisher

At the end of March, the first successful landing of the F / A-18E Super Hornet manned aircraft was carried out on an experienced model of the AAG carrier turbo electric arrestor installed on the ground flight test complex in New Jersey, the blog bmpd with reference to the press service of the corporation General Atomics.

“F / A-18E aircraft from the VX-23 test squadron aviation The US Navy successfully landed on the ground-based prototype AAG with effective engagement, marking the beginning of the testing phase of the air finisher with real aircraft, ”the report said.

Prior to this, the finisher was tested more than 1200 times using a loaded trolley.

It is noted that "in contrast to the Mak 7 hydraulic aerofiners currently installed on American aircraft carriers, the AAG aerofiner uses special turboelectric engines to absorb energy, which allows precise control of the load."

The AAG development program lags behind the previously approved schedule in fact by 2. This is due to the serious flaws in turboelectric engines that have appeared during the tests.

However, the command fleet expressed confidence that the AAG finisher, installed on the new aircraft carrier CVN 78 Gerald R. Ford, will be finalized before the launch of the ship for sea trials.

Damn, they’ll bother ah! They’re there, there’s nothing to do, a special turboaviafinisher for special purposes, more like a rubber band-brake!

You look at the system. What the fuck

There motors and mechanisms no less than in the tank

I read the headline, at first I decided that the plane would be landed with a force field ala UFOs or "Star Wars".

In principle, the way it is. Only the field does not directly affect the aircraft. And the load is regulated by the intensity of the EMP. It is possible and directly. but energetically too expensive, and the electronics of the aircraft will order a long life.

in fact, this is a slingshot for Ukrainians from which they will bring down our satellites on the advice of Rogozin

"Fuck complex" two engines, two air coolers, two gearboxes, couplings, expansion joints, hydraulic tensioners, a bunch of pulley blocks and even that rubber band. ))))

Yeah, God forbid, some kind of thread twist spins, and the whole air group will circle in the air until it gurgles ... Good news!

The Americans are upgrading their aircraft carriers. Well what can I say .. well done. With the electromagnetic catapult they have so far (as I heard) plug. Start as before, a couple ...

For the first time, the US Navy tested the EMALS electromagnetic catapult mounted on board the prospective aircraft carrier Gerald Ford. According to the Navy, the catapult was tested on May 15, 2015.

Thanks for the info. Well, if their trials were really successful, then their affairs are even better than I thought.

And what did you say wrong? They will start as before on steam-steam catapults, they are now everywhere installed on aircraft carriers.

These are not motors but generators. That would generate electricity. So to speak, dual purpose finisher. The economy must be economical !!!!

with a sidekick once run in his new 99. With fierce braking two headlights fell out they continued their movement outside the car

well that was the year so in 2001, but it was certainly funny

Precisely say, they have a braking system and our headlights themselves drive. )))

Do not climb out. The turboelectric finisher is better because it provides more smooth braking of the aircraft, which also affects the reduction of overload for the pilot ...

[inkass_98]

The main thing is that the electricity does not end in the finisher during the landing. Hydraulic somehow will work anyway, but this one won't. Some kind of redundancy of power sources should be, moreover, repeated.

[Yegorchik]

Here is another principle, something like a retard on a tractor, that is, he does not need energy from an external source to work. Although my IMHO is too complicated a mechanism, such a system should be as simple as possible, but mean as reliable as possible.

Artist Concept on Installed Advanced Aerofinisher

[WUA 518]

AAG new generation of cable aerosols. The Mk 14 cable-operated hydraulic aerofinishers used on the Nimitz-type AVMA include hydraulic cylinders that dampen the kinetic energy of the landing aircraft when landing on the ship's deck. Such systems have limitations on the weight of aircraft and cannot serve any modern or future UAVs due to the high loads on the glider that occur at the time of landing with the help of an aerofinisher. In addition, modern systems require high labor costs for maintenance, which inevitably leads to an increase in the cost of the life cycle of an aircraft carrier.

The new generation electromechanical system includes a hydraulic brake (water turbine), a mechanical brake and an electric motor-generator. The speed of the aircraft (via a cable device) when landing on the ABMA deck is damped mainly by a mechanical and hydraulic brake. An electric motor-generator with the help of an automatic control and management system provides optimally smooth regulation of the decelerating force that slows down the aircraft (its mass characteristics are taken into account). The electric motor-generator has extremely low inertia and at the same time high torque, which is achieved by the features of its design: the rotor is a magnetically conducting cylinder enclosed between two concentrically located internal and external stators.
Work on the creation of a new aerofinisher system is carried out by the management of aviation systems for the Navy (Naval Air Systems Command). The adoption of the aircraft carriers of the new generation of cable aero finishers (AAG - Advanced Arresting Gear) is planned in 2014. The new system will ensure the landing of any modern and planned aircraft and UAVs, and will also reduce labor costs during maintenance. The new generation AAG aerofinisher: 1 - electric power storage devices; 2 - control and management system; 3 - aerofinisher cable; 4 - hydraulic brake; 5 - mechanical brake; 6 - electric motor-generator

[iliya87]

After the Caliber show, it’s not the gum-brake that needs to be upgraded, but the aircraft carriers themselves and the PRS. And then there’s nothing to plant

[Russia]

It would be better to come up with a "brake" on your "democratic" Wishlist around the world!
And everyone would live a calmer life.

[sharp-lad]

And this is not their problem! So the whole world will have to come up with an effective brake for naglosaksa.

[Pvi1206]

Landing an aircraft on an aircraft carrier in terms of security is much more difficult than take-off.
To facilitate the work of the pilot, such systems are created.
So that not only aces, but also "ordinary" pilots could operate from aircraft carriers.

[evil partisan]

As a couch idea: what if if you specifically designed aircraft carriers with multi-wheeled landing gear? Well, about the type of transport aircraft? Then, after all, it is only because of the significantly increased area of ​​rubbing surfaces that the mileage of the aircraft can be greatly reduced. And the load on the aerofinisher will be less ...

[gozmosZh]

... or when landing planes, so that the landing deck goes up a certain angle

But what if if specially for aircraft carriers to develop aircraft with multi-wheeled landing gear?

It remains to solve the problem with weight and size characteristics, figuratively speaking, where to shove it all. The photo shows reinforced landing gear. The landing photo of the Su-34 shows the position of the chassis trolley. And even having solved the first problem, all the same, when landing, the touch will be only extreme pneumatics, then the entire trolley will lower.

If we adapt models of aircraft already created earlier for "land" aviation to basing on aircraft carriers, then yes, of course, the question will arise about the non-spongy performance. But if you try to design a specialized aircraft, in the layout of which specific, suitable specifically for naval aviation, tech. solutions, then maybe my idea will work ...

[WUA 518]

Quote: Angry Guerrilla

If to adapt the aircraft models based on aircraft carriers

Here is another feature of landing on an aircraft carrier, immediately after touching the deck, the engines are launched in takeoff mode so that in the event of a broken cable or an unhooked hook it could take off. So the multi-wheeled landing gear does not solve the problem.

This too, but the main thing will not be sharp jerks along the way. Smoother distribution of braking force, less load on the plane and the pilot. It's like a nine on springs, and like a nine on pneuma
