雄猫F-14A战斗机

510 FLIGHT International, 27 September 1973 GRUMMAN F-14A This cutaway drawing of the F-14A by "Flight" artist Mike Badrocke is the first fully detailed exposition of any variable-geometry aeroplane to be carried by this journal, and illustrates the main engineering and aero- dynamic features. Particularly noteworthy is the flying-control system (large horizontal stabilisers, twin fins and rudders and full-span traiiing- edge flaps, leading-edge slats and spoiler jlift-dumpers, and the glove vanes); the widely separated engines (consideration of good flow characteristics and reduced likelihood of a single hit damaging both engines simultaneously); layout of the wing-box, pivots and wing-sweep mechanism; installation of the M6I cannon and ammunition feed; narrow-cross-section forward fuselage (for low drag and good field of view for visual target detection); and the AWG-9 planar-array radar dish KEY Structure and general 1 Upward-folding radome 2 Front pressure bulkhead 3 Windscreen frame with armoured- glass screen Single-piece forged-aluminium canopy frame Canopy actuator Canopy locks Rear-view mirrors Forward-fuse I age longerons Folding boarding ladder Step Handhold Aft pressure bulkhead Machined fuselage frames Main fuselage longerons, titanium Wing-glove machined spars Honeycomb-panel glove vanes Wing spar box pivot-support structure, titanium Spar box/fuselage attachment pin oints (4) Spar box upper-surface ties Upper-surface bonded-honeycomb skin panels Inlet-duct support frame, titanium Inlet-duct sidewalls, honeycomb Intake upper-surface flow straight- ener 24 Aft-fuselage attachment link 25 Aft-fuselage and undercarriage support frame, steef 26 Aft-fuselage longerons, titanium 27 Engine support beam, titanium 28 Aft-fuselage sponson assembly Steel spectacle beam carrying engine rear mounts and stabiliser mountings Multi-bolt fin attachments Fin mounting spigot Honeycomb-sandwich fin panels Tailplane pivot mounting Boron-epoxy stabiliser skin RIGHT International, 27 September 1973 511
