China ship-borne exposure trainer expert: extensive training carrier pilots (photo)

People's daily Beijing, August 8 (reporters Huang Zijuan) recently, billed as a "seamount Hawk" carrier trainer made its first appearance in China, sparking concerns. Cao Weidong, a military expert said in an interview with CCTV in Asia today, past military carrier aircraft pilots were selected from excellent ground-based pilots, should train large numbers of future carrier pilots, need "seamount Eagle" shipboard progressive training the trainer.
In recent days, Chinese officials exposed aircraft carrier aircraft carrier training pictures, have long been familiar with the f-15 in addition to the outside world, there is also a new ship-borne aircraft debut. The white and orange-and-Red coating, slightly cute appearance of State aircraft, is billed as "seamount Eagle" shipboard training aircraft in China.
CCTV reported, "seamount Eagle" in the "Eagle" trainer aircraft based on the modified, can realistically simulate all active fighters of the main characteristics in China. Although China's Defense Ministry and the Navy has yet to confirm the shipboard training related news, but outside the main carrier aircraft on an aircraft carrier in combination with a shipboard training aircraft is not new. To us, for example, United States carriers currently using F/A18 is the main carrier Hornet and its improved "Super Hornet", but pilots before the ship qualifications obtained need repeated training at the trainer, this is the T-45C carrier trainer. In accordance with the relevant provisions within the US military, ship pilots undergo physical and psychological tests, must first receive professional education and training on the ground, pilots must first drive through a simulated landing on land assessment in T-45C trainers in initial training on the aircraft carrier, then use the "Hornet" capital ships, such as aircraft. Under normal circumstances, ordinary fighter pilots have to go through 500-600 hours of flight training to perform combat missions, and aircraft carrier aircraft carrier pilots face more difficulties than ordinary fighter pilots, and longer training time required.
Cao Weidong said, "seamount Hawks" will be used to train aircraft carrier pilots, is not a true aircraft carrier aircraft carrier. Carrier-borne pilots of the past we are selected from excellent ground-based pilot, and should train large numbers of future carrier pilots, need "seamount Eagle" shipboard progressive training the trainer.
The other hand, the development direction of China's aircraft carrier the next concern, on August 4, the United Kingdom disclosure of the Jane's Defense Weekly reported that f-15 aircraft carrier base ejection device has already began building two, one for the steam catapults, another is an electromagnetic catapult device. British media think, installed two sets of catapults, that China has not used an ejection device to make a final decision.
Cao Weidong believes that in China has exceeded a lot of technical bottlenecks, have completed on their own electromagnetic catapult steam catapults and build capacity. Electromagnetic catapult is the direction of national carriers either ejection heavy airborne early warning can also eject light drones, more applicable models. And electromagnetic Catapult can also modulate the ejection, ejection higher efficiency than steam. Therefore, the future could be one step in development of a carrier directly through electromagnetic catapult. page

中国舰载教练机曝光 专家：可大量培训舰载机飞行员(图)

央视截图：中国新型舰载教练机亮相

　　人民网北京8月8日电（记者 黄子娟）近日，一款被外界称为“海山鹰”的中国舰载教练机首次亮相，引发关注。军事专家曹卫东在接受央视《今日亚洲》采访时表示，过去我军舰载机飞行员都是从优秀陆基飞行员中选拔，未来要培养大量舰载机飞行员，需要“海山鹰”这样舰载教练机进行循序渐进的训练。

　　近日，中国官方曝光了航母舰载机日常训练的画面，除了外界早已熟悉的歼-15，还有另外一款全新的舰载机型首次亮相。这款采用白色与桔红色相间涂装，外型略显萌态的飞机，就是被外界称为“海山鹰”的中国舰载教练机。

　　据央视报道，“海山鹰”是在“山鹰”教练机的基础上改装而来，可以逼真地模拟出所有国内现役主力战机的特性。尽管中国国防部和海军方面尚未证实舰载训练机的相关消息，但航母上在主力舰载机之外再搭配一款舰载教练机的做法并不新鲜。以美军为例，美国航母目前使用的主力舰载机是F/A18大黄蜂及其改进型“超级大黄蜂”，但飞行员在正式取得上舰资格前还需在教练机上反复训练，这就是T-45C舰载教练机。按照美军内部的相关规定，舰载机飞行员在接受生理和心理测试之后，首先要接受专业知识教育和地面训练，通过陆上模拟起降考核的飞行员首先就要驾驶T-45C教练机在航母上进行初步训练，随后才能使用“大黄蜂”等主力舰载机。通常情况下，普通的战斗机飞行员要通过500-600小时的飞行训练才能执行战斗任务，而航母舰载机飞行员面临的困难远多于普通战机飞行员，所需要的训练时间也更长。

　　曹卫东表示，“海山鹰”将主要用于训练舰载机飞行员，不是真正意义上的航母舰载机。过去我们的舰载机飞行员都是从优秀陆基飞行员中选拔而来，未来要培养大量舰载机飞行员，需要“海山鹰”这样舰载教练机进行循序渐进的训练。

　　另一方面，中国舰载机未来的发展方向也备受关注，8月4日，英国《简氏防务周刊》披露消息称，歼-15舰载机基地已经开始建造两套弹射装置，其中一套为蒸汽弹射器，另一套则是电磁弹射装置。英媒认为，同时安装两套弹射器，说明中国尚未就采用哪一种弹射装置作出最终决定。

　　曹卫东认为，我国已突破很多技术瓶颈，具备依靠自己的力量完成电磁弹射和蒸汽弹射器的建造能力。电磁弹射是各国航母的发展方向，既可以弹射重型的预警机，也可以弹射轻型的无人机，可适用的机型较多。而且电磁弹射还可以调节弹射力度，弹射效率比蒸汽要高。因此，未来我国在发展航母时可以一步到位直接采用电磁弹射。page
