![]() ![]() A Hands-On Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) arrangement, allows the pilot to control a Target Designator Cursor (TDC), and to operate all weapon controls and many support functions without removing his or her hands from the flight controls. In the VRS F/A-18E this is a dedicated Horizontal Situation Display (HSI) used for navigation.Īvionic interaction is accomplished by pressing one of 20 push buttons surrounding each display, or by touching the virtual buttons on the UFCD. Directly below the UFCD is a digital Multipurpose Control Display (MPCD) with digital moving map capability. The main panel consists of the touchscreen LCD UFCD mentioned above, flanked on either side by two CRT Digital Display Indicators (DDIs). Many of the "steam" gauges traditionally present in legacy aircraft have been replaced with digital CRT and LCD displays. The UFCD can not only be used as a Communications and Navigation Interface (CNI) as in "legacy" Hornets, but can completely duplicate the function of any Digital Display Indicator (DDI). The F/A-18E cockpit shares about 95% of the avionics of previous generation Hornets (A/B,C/D), but improves upon earlier designs primarily by the addition of a touchscreen Up-Front Control-Display (UFCD), located just below the Head-Up Display (HUD). 6.3 Interior Lights (INTR LT) Control PanelĪctual F/A-18E Full Cockpit Simulator (left) vs Superbug.6.2 Environmental Control System (ECS) Panel.Which is why you don't see the China copy version KJ-600 never landed nor taken off from Type 001 and 002 due to too risky for high asset value aircraft. In reality the E-2 Hawkeye can't really take off from Kuznetsov nor Type-001 and 002. So by the time Type-003 is ready, PLAN will proceed to build 2-4 sister ships and kickstart J-15B/D and J-35 production. It is believed that the J-15A is the fastest most aerodynamic Flanker with top speed of Mach 2.4.Ĭhina main focus is on the Type 003 Fujian aircraft carrier and the new J-15B/D fitted with WS-10C and AESA radar, J-35, KJ-600 are taking off from mock Type 003 flight deck. Also, the J-15A is designed for speed therefore carrier landing is not safe with higher approach speed. At most they could load up to 15,000lb of internal fuel getting poor combat radius due to too much fuel wasted on take off alone. The J-15A could only take off with max take off weight 60,000lb with less than 12,000lb fuel and 6 pylons loaded with air to air missiles or 2x anti-ship missiles and 2 or 4 air to air missiles only. The main reason why PLAN J-11A is still fitted with Russian AL-31F and pulse doppler radar because it is just temporary for carrier operations testing and training pilots rather than for war. Ski ramp aircraft carrier doesn't work in reality and proven too ineffective. China do only copies of everything) Ant the main reason why everyone wants EMALS is because it saves a lot of space. I am quite sure there is like 10 years time until they will be able to copy this system properly (like everything else. Quite impractical for naval ops because you have to send the air taker from the land first.īTW it took over 10 years of development of the EMALS. If you want to take off with fully loaded SU-33, you need to take of with very small ammount of fuel and then perform aerial refuelling. The E-2 Hawkeye is the heaviest aircraft which is possible to take off from Admiral Kuznetsov or from Liaononing (Liaononing is the fully functional Chineese version of Admiral Kuznetsov. Russian carrier is suited only for russian carrier aircrafts. And the ski Jump is much less effective than launch bar. ![]() Originally posted by Troll Norris:Simply: Russian Carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is much smaller. ![]()
