deck.

Apart from the armored deck, there are no other improvements.

Looking at the modification line diagram in front of him, Li Yian's mood became a little complicated with a frown.

That's it……

"Is there no other plan?"

Obviously, there is no other solution, or they simply did not think of any other solution.

After thinking about it, Li Yian said.

“Have you considered angled decking?”

"what?"

Zuo Guiyi said doubtfully.

“What is a bevel deck?”

While speaking, Li Yian picked up a pen and directly added a beveled deck on the deck line diagram. This was the aircraft carrier he was familiar with. Didn't all aircraft carriers in later generations have a beveled deck? If not, they would be amphibious assault ships.

Walking to the drawings, Zuo Guiyi was gesticulating on the line drawings while flattering him. I have to say, East Asia! Some habits are similar.

"It is to add an angled deck of about 10 degrees on the side of the through deck. The all-through deck is direct. Carrier-based aircraft cannot take off and land on the same runway at the same time. When the aircraft takes off, the parked aircraft have to be squeezed in. The rear half of the flight deck is used as the take-off runway. However, this affects the taxiing distance of the aircraft. The runway must be vacated after the aircraft takes off before the aircraft in the air can land. And it is slightly If you are not careful, the plane that lands later can easily collide with the plane that landed first..."

That's right, it's the catapult.

Although he only made a few simple strokes, a ship engineer like Zuo Guiyi could see the benefits of the "beveled deck" at a glance.

"The use of angled decks can significantly increase the available space on the starboard side of the bow and amidships, resulting in better deck utilization..."

Li Yian, who felt extremely comfortable after being flattered, looked at the empty bow deck and naturally thought of the catapult.

"Ah, your idea is simply a stroke of genius. The "angled deck" not only prevents the landing and recovery operations from interfering with the bow take-off operations, but also effectively expands the flight deck space. It can also be used in the angled landing area and the bow of the ship. A triangular aircraft parking area is formed between them, which is not disturbed by take-off and landing operations, and aircraft can carry out maintenance operations in this area..."

With a catapult, jet fighters can naturally take off and land!
But has the steam catapult been invented now?

"Considering that aircraft will become heavier and heavier, relying on their own power may not necessarily meet the take-off requirements. We can consider using catapults and research new large-scale catapults that use steam as power..."

Of course, all of the above are just Li Yian's providing some technical directions based on his impressions of aircraft carriers. As for how to implement this technology, he has no idea at all.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. As long as he provides good ideas, the company will naturally organize technical personnel to conduct research on it. In fact, Nanyang has already had catapults.

At the aviation launch site at Cape Mankaliha, in addition to the V2 missile, there is also a replica of the V1 missile. The launch of the V1 missile uses a catapult. It uses a gasoline generator as the power source and a hybrid There are rocket fuels such as hydrogen peroxide) and sodium permanganate.

The operating principle of this catapult is very similar to the steam catapult used on aircraft carriers: high-pressure gas is pushed into a steel tube in the launch track box. This steel tube will push a piston slider connected to the bottom of the missile. The block slides on a slotted cylinder. When launched, the missile will take off from a slope tens of meters long facing the target. With the acceleration of this pneumatic piston, the V-1 missile can quickly accelerate from 0 to 320 kilometers per hour. The technical source of the steam catapult that was later used on aircraft carriers by the United States and Britain was the V1 missile catapult.

Although the method of generating steam through chemical reactions is not safe enough, with the prototype, everything else is easy to handle. All that remains is to open the skill tree of using a boiler to boil water to provide steam for this slotted cylinder. The next step is naturally We can go all the way, and leave the technical issues to the engineers to solve.

……

Aircraft carrier!
Just a little too young and a little too old.

"That is to say, let's solve the problem of whether or not for the time being. After the shipbuilding industry develops in the future, we can build Nanyang's own aircraft carrier."

Although he was thinking about aircraft carriers, deep down in Li Yi'an's heart, he also knew that compared to aircraft carriers, what Nanyang needed most was amphibious assault ships. After all, Nanyang is an island with thousands of large and small islands. For a country like this, amphibious assault ships are the most important. Helicopters taking off from amphibious assault ships are, to a certain extent, more important than fixed-wing fighter jets taking off from aircraft carriers.

And this is why Li Yi'an asked the military to research helicopter technology, and even took the initiative to cooperate with Sikorsky to fund the development of Sikorsky's S-55 helicopter, even though this helicopter just flew last month It uses a piston engine, but it still uses many novel designs. It is the world's first general-purpose helicopter, and its spacious cabin can carry more than a dozen passengers.

Through cooperation with Sikorsky, Nanyang Aviation Industry can absorb the most advanced helicopter technology of this era to independently research general-purpose helicopters for the future.

However, a real general-purpose helicopter is obviously not suitable for using a piston engine, which requires a turboshaft engine. After the engine problem is solved, it is compared to building a UH-1 Huey helicopter similar to the UH- used by the US military in the Vietnam War. Li Yian prefers the "Black Hawk". After all, the "Black Hawk" is the real king of general aircraft. Of course, it is also the helicopter most suitable for the Nanyang rainforest environment.

However, all this is just a plan for the future. After all, let alone the Black Hawk, even the S55 helicopter has just been tested. As for the most suitable turboshaft engine for helicopters, I still don’t know where it is. My mother is pregnant in her womb.

"Which company invented the turboshaft engine?"

Once again, Li Yi'an tried hard to recall the books he had read or the information he had read online. The sequelae of time travel - in addition to a stronger body, there were also enhanced memories, many things he had only glanced at. , the memories will be very clear, as if they are vividly remembered.

However...it seems that I haven't seen any information on this aspect.

"In the final analysis, I still read too little..."

While sighing, Li Yian recalled some neglected memory fragments. When he connected those messy memory fragments one by one, the car had already driven into the official residence. After returning to the study, he took out the book from the safe. Notes, after outlining the fragments together, he looked at the information on the fragments. Although there were many opportunities in this information, Li Yian, who was sitting in the swivel armchair, after thinking for a long time, glanced at the notebook in front of him and said softly :

"Now that history has become so fragmented, is it possible for these things to happen again?"

No one can answer this question.

After all, the butterfly's wings have been flapping for a long time. I'm afraid only God knows how much change it will bring to the world...
