Dive, recovery, engine stop, Marcel has already had a rough inference on the reason for this time, it was all caused by the M53 engine!

Although SNECMA has done its best, the M53 engine developed by the company has completely passed the finalization in 76, and it was officially put into production in 79. However, this single-rotor engine still has its inherent shortcomings: it is prone to surge !

A basic principle of an aviation jet engine is that the front is a compressor, which compresses the airflow blowing on the face, and the middle is connected with the turbine blades at the back through a connecting rod. Turbine blades, while jetting backwards.

In order to improve efficiency, the compressor is connected in series in multiple stages. The further backward, the higher the pressure, and the faster the speed should be. In order to adapt to this situation, the advanced engine has two rotors inside and outside, respectively connected to the high-pressure compressor and Low-pressure compressor, adapt to different conditions.This is the twin rotor engine.In addition, the air discharge valve and the inlet vane are adjustable in the middle, so this phenomenon can be completely avoided.

However, the M53 is still single-rotor. In this way, when the intake air changes sharply, such as suddenly pulling up from a dive, the intake air flow seriously deviates from the design working state. When the gas flows through, serious air flow separation occurs, and the strong vortex almost Blocking the entire blade passage, the air flow is intermittent, and the compressor will enter a surge state.

This is like feeding a large spoonful of food to a baby, and the child's mouth gets stuck when he can't take a bite. Engine surge is actually caused by the mismatch between the intake air and the compression capacity of the compressor.

So, why didn't this kind of problem happen when the test flight started?

Because at the beginning, Mirage 4000 was not so agile!The front movable canard allows the Phantom 4000 to raise its head more quickly, but it makes the engine overwhelmed.

At this time, the data analyzed by the engineer also came out, exactly as Marcel imagined!

With more agile mobility, the engine is not powerful!

Chapter 372 Iraq, with a great international spirit

When McFarlane got off the plane, a large group of reporters surrounded the airport, and the camera flashes kept flashing. McFarlane knew that his glorious day was coming.

Following behind him, the hostages who had experienced more than a month of inhuman days also got off the plane one by one.

"Mr. McFarlane, I heard that you rescued our people this time, and the Iraqis gave a lot of help?"

"I heard that the hijacking incident was carried out by the Iranians themselves? Are those hijackers Iranians?"

"I heard that you were in distress on the way, and there was a mysterious special forces rescue. Is this force ours from the United States?"

Countless reporters rushed over, trying to break through the defense line arranged by the security guards, and shouted at McFarlane, they already knew that McFarlane played a big role in the rescue of the hostages this time.

This feeling is so cool!McFarland has always been looking forward to being noticed, and this time he finally got his wish. He said: "Yes, at the beginning, we just thought it was an ordinary hijacking incident, but after our careful investigation, those hijackers, We have a close relationship with the Iranians. One of our hostages understands a little Arabic. He once heard the hijackers talking closely with other personnel at the airport on the radio. The purpose of the Iranians is to force our zhèngfǔ to sell weapons To them, however, our zhèngfǔ was not coerced by the Iranians into compromising, and with the help of friendly Iraq, we successfully escaped from the control of the Iranians and returned to Iraq through the Iran-Iraq border. Back here again.”

After getting an affirmative answer, the reporters were shocked and wanted to ask all kinds of questions. How did the Iraqis help?How did they return across the Iran-Iraq border?here.Is there any story?Journalists became more interested in Iraq as a country.

only.They were not given a chance to ask questions.McFarlane had left the airport.

Afterwards, McFarlane saw Vice President Bush who came to greet him.

Looking at the smiling Vice President, McFarland recalled the hardships he had suffered in the past few days, and said emotionally, "Mr. President, I finally completed the task and brought all our people back."

Bush nodded and said, "Mike, you have suffered. The President is waiting for you at the White House!"

president?McFarlane knew that his chance to make a fortune had come.

Bush greeted the returning hostages at the airport and expressed condolences for their suffering.While severely condemning Iran, a rogue country, he also expressed his gratitude to Iraq for its selfless assistance.

Subsequently, Bush's speech spread throughout the United States.The whole world.

Everyone knows that although the hostages were taken by Khomeini, the US government has been working hard. Under the oppression of the powerful military power of the United States, and with the help of a mysterious army in friendly Iraq, they finally Out of danger, returned to the motherland.

Although the US government's operation took a little longer this time, all the hostages were rescued after all. Compared with the previous Carter government's operation, it can be said that it is completely qualified in handling hostage incidents.

At the same time, the remarks made by Iran were scoffed at by the media. Americans sent weapons to Iran?What a joke!The one who rescued the hostages was Iraq at war with Iran!

There are also a few people who questioned why the Americans did not send special forces to take action, but instead used the power of Iraq, which was immediately refuted by more people. In the last hostage incident, the rescue operation of the troops completely failed. It is very adaptable, and Iran's land area is too large. The U.S. military is not completely sure about rescuing the hostages. Iraq has been fighting with Iran and knows Iran very well. Rescuing the hostages is simply a piece of cake.

However, people in the military, of course, have no face.

Iraq, this time as a more glorious image, appeared in front of the American public. They have never discovered that Iraq is such a country that is trustworthy and has enough friends!Iraq is selfless and rescued the hostages from Khomeini's clutches, which made all Americans feel good about Iraq.

And the legendary mysterious special forces has aroused many people's associations.

In the White House, Reagan personally received McFarlane, because there are many things that he needs to know clearly.

"Mike, this time you took the risk yourself, negotiated with the Iranians, and rescued all the hostages. It's all thanks to you that we successfully resolved this crisis." Reagan said with a smile.

"For the sake of the American people, I am very willing to do this." McFarlane said: "Every one of our citizens abroad should be protected by us because they are Americans!"

Reagan was very satisfied with McFarlane's answer. Yes, as an American, he must be protected by the powerful United States at all times, but this time, he used the power of Iraq.

"How did you suddenly disappear from the Iranian convoy?" Reagan was very concerned about this, that is, from the road near Tabriz, they suddenly disappeared, which aroused the close attention of Reagan's top management, so he asked Iraq for help of.

Speaking of this, it may be their most thrilling time this time, McFarlane said: "At that time, our convoy stopped, and the Iranian who escorted us asked me to notify our ship to transport the fire to the pier first. Only by handing over to the Iranians can we continue to let us go north. As soon as I heard it, I knew there was a problem. If we had delivered the arms first, then we hostages would be really in danger. However, under the circumstances at the time, if I Oppose, I am afraid that the Iranians will also threaten our hostages, while hesitating, a force mysteriously appeared, engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Iranians, killed those Iranians, and rescued us."

When he heard the front, Reagan had already guessed, but when he heard the back, he always felt something was wrong.

It was they who lost the hostages before contacting Iraq. Iraq dispatched special forces to help, and now, it is clear that Iraq has rescued the hostages in advance!

That guy Qu Sai is simply a genius!

Thinking of the conditions Qusay put forward that drove him crazy, even the F404 production line was ordered by Qusay. In fact, he had already rescued the hostages!

However, Qusay did help the United States a lot by doing this. It was this method that made Reagan grit his teeth with hatred, and was tricked by Qusay!

And General Dynamics, which produces the F404 engine, is quite satisfied with the output of this production line, because since it lost to Pratt & Whitney's F-100 engine in the high-thrust engine project, this engine is used to equip the main force of the US military. For the F-15 and F-16 fighters, General Dynamics has been working hard to develop the F-110 engine, hoping to regain the occupied market. The large sum of money from Iraq is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for General Dynamics.

Moreover, the Iraqi side also hinted that their final output of the aircraft will be more than 100. This type of engine may eventually require 300 units. Although Iraq has imported production lines, the raw materials required are all imported from the United States. , Those advanced titanium alloys do not require General Dynamics to process them into specific parts, but they can also earn a lot of dollars.

Through this incident, Iraq's status in the world has risen. Almost everyone knows that Iraq firmly opposes terrorist ideas and has rescued hostages from other countries across borders. This is a great international spirit!

The media in almost all countries used this incident as the headline news. Saddam's head was printed on the covers of many impurities, a head of a Middle Eastern country with a great international spirit!

Although this incident was fully planned and implemented by Qusay, it was announced to the outside world that it was of course carried out under the leadership of the great leader of Iraq, President Saddam Hussein.

Saddam was very happy.

In order to revive Iraq and become a major country in the Middle East, a good international image is very important. When Qusay came to discuss this matter with him, Saddam was still worried because the United States secretly exported weapons to Khomeini, and even He wanted to detain these hostages, but he finally agreed to Qusay's claim.

Now it seems that Qusay's approach is correct, and his intelligence, not only in military affairs, but also in politics, has finally begun to show.

Saddam was very satisfied with Qusay. Although Qusay's prestige is getting higher and higher, he is very good at restraining himself. He has always been very loyal to his duties and never overstepped his authority.

The last time the northern military region’s attack failed, Qu Sai proposed a solution to defuse the crisis, and after the matter was completed, he took the initiative to return to the southern military region. He didn’t say a word about the credit for this matter, and he didn’t take credit for it. It’s very rare of.

Saddam already regarded Qusay as his successor in his heart, and he was very relieved of Qusay.

And Uday, when Saddam thought about it, he had a headache.

Uday, this guy, has not restrained himself at all. Since Uday was assassinated last time, his personality has changed drastically. Saddam is very clear about what Uday did. It is only because Uday is now physically disabled. It's not that he has done too much, and Saddam is unwilling to talk to him. If he has half of Qusay, then God bless.

"President." At this time, Balzan, who was in charge of intelligence, came to report the situation to him.

"How, did you find out?" Saddam asked.

"Yes, recently, Uday secretly contacted a killer organization, Assassin. Our intelligence department has confirmed in many ways that twice, Assassin's No. [-] figure appeared in Uday's villa Inside."
