Greyback uye Growler
Kuvhurwa chete kweRegulus II missile kubva kuGreyback ndege inotakura, Nyamavhuvhu 18, 1958. National Archives
Muna Chikumi 1953, Dhipatimendi reDziviriro reUS rakasaina chibvumirano neChance Vought kugadzira chombo chechikepe chinogona kutakura musoro wemoto wethermonuclear pamusoro pe1600 km nekumhanya kwepamusoro. Nekutanga kwekugadzirwa kweramangwana Regulus II rocket, US Navy yakatanga kuitisa zvidzidzo zvepfungwa zvevatakuri vayo pasi pemvura.
Kutanga kwebasa pazvombo zvechikepe zveUS Navy zvakadzokera kuhafu yekutanga ye40s. Hondo dzine ropa dzezvitsuwa zvitsva muPacific dzakakurudzira Mauto Emauto eUS kuti atange kudzidza ndege-inodzorwa neredhiyo isina kurongeka yakagadzirirwa kuparadza zvinangwa zvakadzivirirwa panyika. Iri basa rakawedzera simba muhafu yechipiri ya1944, apo zvakasara zveGerman Fieseler Fi 103 mabhomba anobhururuka (anonyanya kuzivikanwa seV-1) akagamuchidzwa kune veAmerica. Pakupera kwegore, chigadzirwa cheGermany chakakopwa uye chakaiswa mukugadzirwa kwehuwandu pasi pezita rokuti JB-2. Pakutanga, zvakarongwa kuvaka makopi 1000 pamwedzi, izvo pakupedzisira zvaizoshandiswa kurwisa zvitsuwa zveJapan. Nekuda kwekupera kwehondo kuFar East, izvi hazvina kumboitika, uye zvombo zvinokandwa zvakashandiswa mukuedzwa kwakawanda nemiedzo. Zvidzidzo izvi, zvakanzi Loon, zvakabatanidzwa, pakati pezvimwe zvinhu, kuyedza masisitimu akasiyana siyana, kana mukana wekushandisa makomba kubva kumadhishi epasi pemvura.
Nekuuya kwezvombo zvenyukireya, US Navy yakaona kugona kwekubatanidza bhomba reatomu nevamiriri vakaratidza kurova. Kushandiswa kwerudzi rutsva rwemusoro wehondo kwakaita kuti zvibvire kusiya nhungamiro yenguva dzose yepfuti kubva kune inoperekedza ndege kana ngarava, izvo zvinodiwa kuti uwane kurongeka kunogutsa. Kutungamira chombo kune chakanangana, nzira iri nyore yekutungamira yakavakirwa pane gyroscopic autopilot inogona kushandiswa, uye nyaya yekurova chaiko yakagadziriswa kuburikidza nekushandiswa kwehondo yenyukireya. Dambudziko raive rakakura uye huremu hweyekupedzisira, izvo zvakamanikidza chirongwa kuti chigadzire chipotsera chepamusoro chine hurefu uye mubhadharo unoenderana. MunaAugust 1947, purojekiti yakagamuchira zita rokuti SSM-N-8 uye zita reRegulus, uye kushandiswa kwayo kwakapiwa kuna Chance Vought, iyo, yega yega, yakashanda munharaunda iyi kubva munaOctober 1943. chirongwa chose.
Chirongwa Regulus
Basa rakaitwa rakakonzera kugadzirwa kwechimiro chakafanana nendege ine fuselage yakatenderera ine mukati memhepo inopinza muinjini uye 40 ° mapapiro. Minhenga yeplate nechidzoreso chiduku zvakashandiswa. Mukati me fuselage mune nzvimbo yewarhead ine huremu hurefu hwe1400 kg (nuclear Mk5 kana thermonuclear W27), shure kweiyo inotungamira system uye inopupurirwa Allison J33-A-18 jet injini ine trust ye20,45 kN. Kuvhurwa kwacho kwakapihwa ne2 Aerojet General rocket injini ine yakazara 293 kN. Maroketi ekudzidzira aive akashongedzerwa negiya rekumhara raidzoreka, izvo zvakaita kuti zvikwanise kuaisa panhandare yendege nekuashandisazve.
A redhiyo command steering system yakashandiswa, yakasanganiswa ne gyroscopic autopilot. Chinhu chehurongwa hwaive mukana wekutora kutonga kweroketi neimwe ngarava ine michina yakakodzera. Izvi zvakaita kuti zvikwanisike kudzora roketi panguva yose yekubhururuka. Izvi zvakasimbiswa kakawanda mumakore anotevera.
mukuita, sanganisira. panguva yekuedzwa musi waNovember 19, 1957. The missile, yakadzingwa kubva padenga reheavy cruiser Helena (CA 75), yakavhara chinhambwe che112 nautical miles, yakagamuchirwa neTusk submarine (SS 426), iyo yakanga iri pasi pesimba inotevera 70 nautical mamaira apo Twin Carbonero (AGSS) akatora kutonga kwe337) - ichi chidhiraivho chakaunza Regulus pamusoro pekupedzisira 90 nautical mamaira kuti asvike chinangwa chake. Iyo missile yakavhara huwandu hwe272 nautical mamaira uye yakarova chinangwa chiri chinhambwe che137 metres.
