The E-3A "Wanglou" early warning aircraft is currently the most advanced early warning aircraft in the world, and the reason is that it uses four Pratt & Whitney TF33-PW-100A turbofan engines, and its single maximum thrust can reach 93.4 kN .
At the same time, the diameter is 9.1 meters and the thickness is 1.8 meters. The radome is supported by two pillars at a height of 3.3 meters from the fuselage. The internal radar antenna system enables the E-3A "Watchtower" early warning aircraft to provide the atmosphere, the ground and the water surface. Radar surveillance capability, and the ability to detect low-altitude flying targets at a distance of more than 320 kilometers,
In terms of detection distance of hollow and high-altitude targets, the E-3A "Watchtower" early warning function can go farther.
The identification friend or foe subsystem on its radar system has the ability to look down and can resist ground clutter interference, but the unit price of the E-3A "Wanglou" early warning aircraft is 270 million US dollars, so that the aircraft cannot be popularized.
The last one is the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft.
This large-scale strategic and tactical transport aircraft developed by Boeing is commonly known as the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, or C-17.
The C-17 can be adapted for strategic transport that quickly deploys troops to major military bases or directly to forward bases, and can also perform tactical transport and airdrop missions when necessary.
And this inherent flexibility and performance helps the military improve its ability to move troops by air worldwide.
The reason why Zhou Wenwen knew about this guy was because the C-17 "Globemaster" transport plane appeared here at the Double 11 Zhuhai Air Show in 2014.
But the reason why Zhou Wenwen needs the C-17 "Globemaster" transport aircraft is because of the carrying capacity of the C-17.
In the cargo compartment, although the C-17 has similar dimensions to the C-141, its cargo compartment dimensions are comparable to the C-5 Galaxy, which is larger in overall dimensions than the C-17.
According to the requirement that 6 trucks can be arranged in two rows in the cargo compartment, the cargo compartment of the C-17 is 5.49 meters wide, 26.82 meters long and 4.11 meters high.
Three jeeps can be placed side by side, or three AH-64 armed helicopters can be transported, and various air-transported vehicles can be directly driven into the cabin.
The centerline of the cabin and the two walls of the cabin can be equipped with foldable seats. The airdrop capacity includes airdropping 27,215 to 49,895 kg of cargo, or airborne 102 paratroopers.
At the same time, in order to load the army's heaviest equipment - the 55-ton M1 main battle tank, the cargo compartment floor is reinforced by aluminum alloy longitudinal beams, reaching a maximum carrying capacity of 60 tons.
At the same time, the C-17 can also successfully carry the 62-ton M1A2 main battle tank. Facilities such as mooring rings, guide rails, balls, and rolling rod systems are also arranged on the floor. These facilities extend to the cargo bridge that can be put down in flight.
There is a cargo parachute pulling out device on the cargo bridge, and each mooring ring can withstand a pulling force of 11,340 kg.
When the C-17 cargo door is closed, the door can still carry 18,150 kilograms, which is almost the loading capacity of the entire C-130, and the general transport door can only store light cargo.
The C-17 has a parachute hatch on each side of the tail of the fuselage, and there are two emergency exits for water landing on the top of the tail fuselage and the top of the fuselage in front of the wings.
The 4 Pue F117-PW-100 non-afterburning turbofan engines provide the C-17 with a thrust of 4 × 17418 kg (170.69 kN).
The maximum flight speed has also reached 830 kilometers per hour, or Mach 0.678, the practical ceiling: 13,700 meters, the range: 11,600 kilometers, and the combat radius can reach 4,400 kilometers.
And 2 C-17 "Globemaster" transport planes are enough to carry hunters, jaguars, jaguars, cougars, Geeks, and Forerunners, and go thousands of miles to conduct transoceanic operations.
2 F-15CMSIP fighter jets, 2 E-3A "Watchtower" early warning aircraft, 2 Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, valued at $1.8 billion.
On the surface, Boeing was miserable, but in fact, the metal armor provided by Zhou Wenwen can make Boeing's research on stealth technology make a big leap, complete the research and development of Fx-a/x aircraft ahead of schedule, and reverse the future F-15 Eagle fighter. The unfavorable situation of being replaced by the F-22.
For Zhou Wenwen, these armor pieces are as many as you want, and the wing that he hit has to be replaced anyway.
The second thing Zhou Wenwen took out was pierced by Zhou Wenwen with the electronic cycle device, the drift samurai sword, the strength of its weapon steel may not be comparable to that of Transformers, but it is still a class that the earth's metal smelting ability cannot surpass. .
Of course, for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Grumman and other people who mainly sell aircraft, the value is very low, but for tanks such as Rheinmetall, the value is very large.
