Dominate South Asia

At the tail of the deck, there are three arresting cables, which must be hooked to successfully land.

At this time, Hussein's hands were trembling slightly. If he failed to hook the arresting cables, he must immediately turn on the afterburner, go full speed, and continue to take off on the angled runway.

After the aircraft carrier deck adopted the angled deck, the deck operation became more orderly. One of the important reasons is that the angled deck of the aircraft carrier is responsible for landing at the rear end, and at this time, the front must also be vacated, otherwise, if the landing fails, it will collide with the obstacles in front.

When a fighter jet lands at the back, the front must be cleared, which means that the carrier-based aircraft cannot take off at the front. At this time, the bow deck can continue to take off without affecting each other.

When this Pakistani aircraft carrier was first built, it was a straight deck from front to back. Later, it was transformed into an angled deck.

However, due to the limited space on the deck, there is no catapult on the angled deck. The two steam catapults are on the bow deck.

Hussein's hands trembled with the fighter plane, and then he felt a huge force pulling him hard.

The landing hook at the tail hooked the second arresting cable smoothly. After hooking, it began to pull the arresting cable and continued to move forward. The arresting cable began to be stretched, and the hydraulic cylinders on both sides began to buffer the huge force.

When the fighter plane landed, the impact force was huge, especially after hooking the arresting cable. This impact force was enough to disintegrate some fighter planes with insufficient body strength.

If ordinary land-based fighters are converted into aircraft carrier-based aircraft, they need to strengthen the landing gear, and the tail landing hook must also be fixed on the beam, and the body must be treated with anti-corrosion. In this way, it will increase the weight by more than several hundred kilograms compared to land-based fighters.

The Tomcat fighter was originally designed as a carrier-based aircraft. Even the batch of fighters exported to Pakistan did not cancel the landing hook, and everything was intact.

The arresting cable continued to move forward, buffering the force of the Tomcat fighter's forward rush. Finally, the Tomcat fighter stopped.

Success!

Everyone cheered. Our Tomcat fighter finally landed on the deck!

After the Tomcat fighter landed, it was towed forward by the tractor and came to the take-off area on the bow deck.

"How is it? Is our catapult okay?" In the bridge, Muhammad found himself a little nervous.

After all, Muhammad also knew that the catapult plays a vital role in the take-off of the fighter.

"Our catapult has been tested many times. We used a replacement car that is as heavy as the Tomcat fighter. After many tests, it can reach the required take-off speed before leaving the ship." Osman said.

After all, according to past experience, this catapult can only launch E-2 and A-7. The heavy Tomcat fighter needs a stronger catapult. During the modification, they lengthened the catapult track and increased the capacity of the gas tank to achieve the goal of launching the Tomcat. Now, whether it can be launched or not. Muhammad also feels unsure.

Hearing Osman's words, Muhammad relaxed and looked at the people below, who were working in an orderly manner.

There were different operators on the deck, wearing different clothes. At this time, the aircraft carrier continued to operate at full power, and at the same time. It had turned to the headwind position.

A gust of wind blew on the deck, which was the deck wind.

The front wheels of the Tomcat fighter were fixed on the catapult, and the deflector screen at the back rose. If there was no such thing, when the fighter turned on the afterburner. The back would be blown to the ground by the tail flame of the fighter.

The guide in the yellow vest stood on the side of the aircraft and watched the catapult operator in the green vest issue instructions to tighten the catapult and the throttle. The same instructions were sent to Hussein, and Hussein immediately turned on all the thrust.

At this time, it can be felt that the fighter has been like a roaring wild horse, ready to be ejected from the catapult at any time.

The yellow vest squatted, touched the ground with his right hand first, and then moved forward to make the final action before the ejection.

At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.

The green vest pulled the handle, and steam under great pressure entered the cylinder, pushing the piston forward quickly, and a puff of white smoke filled the entire deck.

Hussein did not need to do anything. At this time, all control was on the deck. He only felt as if he was sitting on a rocket. His body was pushed on the seat and could not move. His hands tightly grasped the canopy next to him to prevent his hands from touching any switch by mistake.

The time was very short, just three seconds, and the heavy Tomcat fighter was ejected. When it left the deck, the 4-degree elevation angle of the bow made the fighter's nose face up to prevent the pilot from fainting and accidentally falling into the sea.

Success!

Although the Tomcat fighter was half-fueled and had no ammunition mounted, it was a milestone event, marking that the Pakistan Air Force had a fixed-wing aviation force on the water!

"Report to the President, we have successfully completed the take-off and landing experiments of carrier-based aircraft. Our aircraft carrier has combat capability!" Zahar excitedly reported to Muhammad.

"Our aircraft carrier is responsible for training our carrier-based aircraft force." Muhammad said: "We will use this warship to train our own seaplane aviation force. In future wars, without air superiority, there will be nothing."

With only one warship like this, Pakistan still cannot have a complete water force. The development of the Pakistani navy still has a long way to go.

This is just the first training, which was completed by the most experienced pilots. In the future, the training of new pilots will still be full of difficulties. The Pakistani Navy has a long way to go.

"Yes." Zahar replied.

"President, our warship has not been officially named yet." Osman said.

"Let's call it the Endeavour." Muhammad said.

Some warships are named after places, and some are named after animals in the ocean. Muhammad thought of a name that can inspire Pakistanis. Endeavour, the Pakistani Navy must strive forward!

"Our warship is still being tested in the name of a training ship." Muhammad said: "Try to reduce the Americans' concerns about our aircraft carrier."

At the beginning, the Americans held on to several Kidd-class aircraft carriers and gave this broken aircraft carrier to Pakistan. Now, if they find that this aircraft carrier has greater combat power, they may want to take it back again. (To be continued ~^~)
