Chapter 934

All the people in the military have turned their eyes to Lei Tiantang. Now they can't care about the flight test data of those fighters. Compared with the test flight data of the fighter planes that can be viewed at any time, they obviously pay more attention to the training of fighter pilots!

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, a fighter plane is often worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, which is staggering. This can be seen from the fact that many countries in the world are still using those cheap second-generation fighters, or most countries are using the third-generation fighters. It is very important for a country to replace more advanced fighters It's a big burden.

However, anyone who has participated in the rigorous selection of pilots and even frequent flight training knows that from the perspective of the army, the value of a qualified pilot is much higher than that of a fighter plane. The value of a pilot with outstanding technology is absolutely not excessive in the form of "priceless treasure"!

This is also the reason why Zhang Shanhu was able to discover this detail so quickly, and it is also the reason why people in the military are so concerned about this issue.

Compared with the fighter with clearly marked price, the value of pilots may not be clearly recognized by ordinary people. Pilots in different countries in the world have different technologies and values.

Take the old US Air Force fighters and pilots as an example. As we all know, the US military's fighters are the most expensive, and their pilots' level is relatively high. For example, the price of an F-22 stealth fighter in the US is about 120 million US dollars, while a qualified fighter pilot of the us air force basically needs to complete about 2000 hours of flight training.

According to our known fighter flight cost, the cost of one hour flight training for F-15 fighter is more than 40000 US dollars. It is easy to calculate that the cost of flight training alone for an American pilot from service to initial qualification is as high as 60 million US dollars.

These costs are only for fighter pilot training. A qualified pilot has other expenses such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, salary, training, medical services, etc., and most importantly, the follow-up costs of becoming a qualified fighter pilot.

In the old U.S. air force, fighter pilots who are officially listed in the air force have to carry out at least 200 hours of flight training every year to maintain their technical status.

If you are a ace pilot, the flight time may be longer. Through the display of the above objective data, we can easily calculate the apparent value of a fighter pilot. Taking the 15 years of training and attendance flight of qualified American pilots as an example, the total cost is more than 120 million US dollars.

If we add other supporting expenses such as living and medical salaries, it can exceed 150 million US dollars. Many people will say that it is impossible at this time. Even if our country trains a mature pilot, it will cost about 2.4 billion yuan, equivalent to about 400 million US dollars.

And these values are just the cost of training a pilot. In fact, the way to measure the value of pilots with money is unreasonable. We all know that a country's military strength, whether it is the army, Navy, air force and other fighters, its value to the army is immeasurable.

Fighter pilots with sufficient experience are needed to assist in the development, flight test, equipment improvement and upgrading of fighters. Without their flight test and suggestions, no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they will not be practical.

Some people will say that the UAV has no pilots, and its combat effectiveness is still not weak. It seems reasonable. However, if people who have no experience in fighter flight can operate the UAV, the combat effectiveness of the UAV will not be reflected at all. The operation experience of this UAV is also the sum up of countless experiences of UAV deployment, flight test, attack and even crash.

In general, the loss of a fighter can be made up for in the shortest possible time, while the loss of a mature and qualified pilot can not be made up for much money.

Looking back on the wars in the military history, it is not difficult to see that in terms of weapons and equipment in the war, various military powers can constantly supplement each other, but in terms of personnel training, they are always unable to make ends meet.

Without the control of personnel, all advanced weapons and equipment will become scrap. If we lose qualified pilots, no matter how many fighters are still living targets in the air.

At the end of the Pacific War, baga lost its air superiority. The real reason is not that they lack fighters, but that most experienced pilots have basically died.

After training, novice fighters who only took off and landed were sent to the battlefield. They drove the Zero fighter with excellent performance in the air. They were jokingly called "sky Turkey" by old US Air Force pilots, that is to say, they were slaughtered by others.

It is said that in the air combat in the later period of the Pacific War, the highest damage record of a U.S. fighter plane to baga state fighter plane was 19:1. Such a big gap is not caused by the difference in fighter performance, but by the extremely different experience and technology of pilots. From this point of view, the value of pilots is far from money.

If we can reduce the training expenditure of pilots and greatly improve the technical level of pilots, it will have a very significant impact on the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the army, so people in the military are staring at Lei Tiantang."Haha! you 're right! As you think, our company does have a secret weapon for training pilots! Or general Zhang, your eyes are really sharp! What's more, the brain is also very fast!

I don't think I can admire their technical level from such a small projection. It seems that our company has another secret weapon to expose! " Lei Tian Tang said with a smile.

"What's the point? Mr. Lei! Introduce it to us immediately Zhang Shanhu glared round eyes and urged.

"Well, in fact, it is simple to say that our aircraft company's laboratory has specially designed a simulation flight system, which can increase the reality of simulated flight to 95% of real flight!

We can not only simulate the gravity acceleration system, so that pilots can experience almost the same gravity acceleration and weightlessness feeling as real flight, but also let pilots experience all kinds of extreme weather and all kinds of accidents that can cause aircraft crash just like flying real aircraft.

Let Zhao Li introduce the specific situation to you. I don't know much about this aspect. Anyway, the pilots you see have been flying these fighters for thousands of hours on the simulation flight system. So they can perform so well now, and my technical level is also trained like this! " Lei Tiantang made a simple explanation with a smile.
