Chinese experts have developed a "trans-medium torpedo" that dives into the seabed after high-altitude flight, the fastest Mach 2.5
China's military industry is growing, and there are more and more advanced weapons and equipment. This is a fact that everyone can see with their own eyes. This year's Changchun Air Show displayed a variety of advanced aircraft. On September 13, the "South China Morning Post" It is reported that Chinese experts have come up with a peculiar torpedo - "trans-medium torpedo". The attack mode of this peculiar "torpedo" is quite defying the sky. It first flies at supersonic speed at high altitude, then flies close to the sea level, and finally dives to the bottom of the sea and continues to advance until it hits the underwater target. The trajectory is very mysterious and extremely difficult. Intercepted by the defense system, it can easily break through the opponent's defense line. Do such powerful torpedoes really exist? It really exists. According to the introduction of the "South China Morning Post", this type of torpedo is about 5 meters long. The most powerful thing is its cross-media ramjet, which has two propulsion methods. Sail by jet below. The general ramjet uses hydrocarbon fuel or liquid hydrogen fuel, and the oxygen is pressed into the combustion chamber through the intake port to participate in the combustion, and the flame is ejected from the rear of the engine to obtain strong power, but this type of torpedo cross-media engine uses solid fuel. , which in itself is a more difficult combustion method. Because the fluidity of solid fuel is far less than that of liquid fuel, the combustion mode of solid ramjet is completely different from that of ordinary ramjet. At present, there are two main combustion modes of solid fuel. One structure is that the intake port is located in the middle of the torpedo, and the incompletely burned fuel is injected into the fixed intake port for aerobic combustion to generate thrust, and the other structure is that the intake port directly passes through the center of the solid fuel, and the solid fuel burns slowly. The flammable gas is produced, and then pressed into the combustion chamber to burn, producing a strong thrust. The cross-media ramjet on this peculiar "torpedo" not only uses solid fuel containing a large amount of "boron", but can also work normally in more than two different media. The cross-media here refers to air and water, From air to water, or from water to air, this counts as transmedia. According to the expert team of our country, the proportion of boron in the solid fuel used by the cross-media ramjet is twice that of ordinary ramjet fuel, even as high as 30%, and the energy generated during combustion is very high. Therefore, the propulsion of the cross-media ramjet Efficient and able to move at breakneck speed. After this type of torpedo is launched, it first cruises 200 kilometers at a supersonic speed of 2.5 times the speed of sound at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and then flies for tens of kilometers against the sea surface. When it is less than 10 kilometers away from the target, it dives into the seabed. Then switch to underwater to move forward by jet, and the underwater speed can reach 200 knots. Ordinary underwater torpedoes, no matter how strong their thrust is, are affected by the strong viscous force and resistance of water, and the forward speed is only 60~70 knots at most, which cannot be faster, but the speed of this type of torpedo is 200 knots, equivalent to one second The speed of 100 meters is due to the application of today's most advanced underwater "supercavitation" technology. The "supercavitation" technology uses gas to dissolve the viscosity and resistance of water well. A foaming device is installed in the front of the torpedo. A large number of air bubbles wrap the torpedo and roll around the torpedo, connecting most of the surface of the torpedo with the torpedo. The water is separated, it can be understood that the torpedo is close to flying in the air. The "supercavitation" technology greatly increases the forward speed of the torpedo. It is 10 kilometers away from the target and only takes 100 seconds. Before the opponent's defense system can react, the "supercavitation" technology has already hit the target. The target of torpedoes can be submarines or warships. For warships, the underwater destructive power is greater, and one can sink the warship. The attack range is 200 kilometers, supersonic cruise at high altitude, flying close to sea level, diving to the bottom of the sea at a speed of 200 knots, so many ways of flight, even the most advanced American defense system is difficult to cope with, such a "cross medium" The "torpedo" is simply the "killer" of aircraft carriers, warships and submarines. It is worth mentioning that the "transmedium torpedo" also has strong prospects for improvement, such as the attack range can be increased according to demand, Mach 2.5 is not yet up to the standard of hypersonic speed, it can continue to increase the high-altitude flight speed and make it real Impeccable, speaking of this, I am afraid that foreign experts are a little afraid.
