Westland Lynx thiab Wildcat
Pab pawg Royal Navy's Black Cats tam sim no muaj ob lub HMA.2 Wildcat helicopters thiab tab tom nthuav tawm cov tswv cuab ntawm hom nyoob hoom qav taub no hauv kev ua qauv qhia.
Tsim los ntawm Westland thiab tsim los ntawm Leonardo, Lynx tsev neeg ntawm cov nyoob hoom qav taub yog tam sim no siv los ntawm cov tub rog ntawm 9 lub teb chaws: Great Britain, Algeria, Brazil, Philippines, Lub teb chaws Yelemees, Malaysia, Oman, Republic of Kauslim thiab Thaib teb. Tshaj li ib nrab xyoo pua, ntau tshaj li 500 daim ntawv tau tsim, siv los ua lub nyoob hoom qav taub los tawm tsam submarines, nkoj ntog thiab tso tsheb hlau luam, los ua kev tshawb nrhiav, thauj thiab cawm txoj haujlwm. Qhov tseeb rotorcraft los ntawm tsev neeg no, AW159 Wildcat, yog siv los ntawm Philippine thiab koom pheej ntawm Kauslim Naval Aviation, nrog rau los ntawm British Army Aviation thiab Royal Navy.
Nyob rau hauv nruab nrab-60s, lub tuam txhab Westland tau npaj los tsim cov neeg ua tiav rau qhov hnyav Belvedere nyoob hoom qav taub (twin-rotor WG.1 project, tshem tawm qhov hnyav 16 tons) thiab nruab nrab Wessex nyoob hoom qav taub (WG.4, hnyav 7700 kg) rau cov neeg Askiv. tub rog. . Nyob rau hauv lem, lub WG.3 yuav tsum yog ib tug thauj nyoob hoom qav taub rau cov tub rog ntawm lub 3,5 t chav kawm ntawv, thiab lub WG.12 yog ib lub teeb pom kev helicopter (1,2 t). Tsim los ntawm WG.3, tus neeg txuas ntxiv mus rau Whirlwind thiab Wasp, uas tom qab ntawd los ua Lynx, raug xaiv WG.13. Cov kev cai ua tub rog nyob rau xyoo 1964 tau hu rau lub dav hlau rugged thiab txhim khu kev qha uas muaj peev xwm nqa tau 7 tus tub rog lossis 1,5 tons ntawm cov khoom thauj, muaj riam phom uas yuav txhawb nqa cov tub rog hauv av. Qhov siab tshaj plaws ceev yuav tsum yog 275 km / h, thiab qhov ntau yog 280 km.
Thaum pib, lub rotorcraft tau siv los ntawm ob lub 6 hp Pratt & Whitney PT750A turboshaft xyaw. txhua tus, tab sis lawv cov chaw tsim khoom tsis tau lees tias qhov hloov pauv muaj zog dua yuav tsim nyob rau lub sijhawm. Thaum kawg, nws tau txiav txim siab siv lub 360 hp Bristol Siddeley BS.900, tom qab ntawd Rolls-Royce lub pov haum, uas tau pib ntawm de Havilland (li no cov tsoos G lub npe).
Tom qab ntawd Anglo-Fabkis kev koom tes zoo hauv kev lag luam aviation thiab cov kev xav tau zoo sib xws los ntawm cov tub rog ntawm ob lub teb chaws ua rau muaj kev sib koom ua ke ntawm peb hom rotorcraft, sib txawv ntawm qhov loj thiab cov dej num: kev thauj nruab nrab (SA330 Puma), tshwj xeeb hauv huab cua thiab tiv thaiv. tank (yav tom ntej Lynx) thiab lub teeb ntau lub hom phiaj (SA340 Gazelle). Tag nrho cov qauv yuav tsum tau yuav los ntawm cov tub rog ntawm ob lub teb chaws. Sud Aviation (tom qab Aerospatiale) tau koom nrog Lynx txoj haujlwm hauv xyoo 1967 thiab yuav tsum tuav 30 feem pua. tsim cov aircraft ntawm hom no. Nyob rau hauv lub xyoo tom ntej, kev koom tes tau ua rau kev yuav ntawm SA330 Puma thiab SA342 Gazelle los ntawm cov tub rog Askiv (Fabkis yog cov thawj coj ntawm txoj haujlwm thiab kev tsim kho), thiab Fabkis naval aviation tau txais naval Lynxes ntawm Westland. Thaum pib, Fabkis kuj npaj yuav cov tub rog Lynxes los ua kev tawm tsam thiab tshawb nrhiav nyoob hoom qav taub rau aviation ntawm cov tub rog hauv av, tab sis thaum kawg ntawm 1969 cov tub rog Fab Kis tau txiav txim siab thim tawm ntawm txoj haujlwm no.

Interestingly, ua tsaug rau kev koom tes nrog Fabkis, lub WG.13 tau los ua thawj British aircraft tsim nyob rau hauv lub metric system. Tus qauv nyoob hoom qav taub, thawj lub npe hu ua Westland-Sud WG.13, tau pom thawj zaug ntawm Paris Air Show hauv xyoo 1970.
Nws yog ib qho tsim nyog sau cia kev koom tes hauv kev txhim kho Lynx los ntawm ib qho ntawm Polish engineers, Tadeusz Leopold Cyastuly (1909-1979). Ib tug kawm tiav ntawm Warsaw University of Technology, uas ua haujlwm ua ntej tsov rog, incl. Raws li kev sim ntsuas hauv ITL, xyoo 1939 nws tau khiav tawm mus rau Romania, tom qab ntawd mus rau Fabkis, thiab xyoo 1940 mus rau UK. Los ntawm 1941 nws ua hauj lwm nyob rau hauv lub aerodynamics department ntawm lub Royal Aircraft tsim thiab kuj ya fighters nrog 302 Squadron. Skeeter helicopter, tom qab ntawd tsim los ntawm Saunders-Roe. Tom qab lub tuam txhab raug coj los ntawm Westland, nws yog ib tus tsim ntawm P.1947 lub nyoob hoom qav taub, tsim ntau yam xws li Wasp thiab Scout. Engineer Ciastła txoj haujlwm tseem suav nrog kev saib xyuas kev hloov kho ntawm lub zog cog ntawm Wessex thiab Sea King helicopters, nrog rau kev txhim kho WG.531 qhov project. Nyob rau hauv lub xyoo tom ntej nws kuj ua hauj lwm nyob rau hauv kev tsim kho ntawm hovercraft.
Lub davhlau ntawm tus qauv Westland Lynx tau tshwm sim 50 xyoo dhau los thaum Lub Peb Hlis 21, 1971 hauv Yeovil. Lub glider xim daj tau tsav los ntawm Ron Gellatly thiab Roy Moxum, uas tau ua ob lub davhlau 10- thiab 20-feeb hnub ntawd. Cov neeg coob tau tswj hwm los ntawm tus kws tshaj lij kev sim Dave Gibbins. Davhlau thiab kev sim tau ncua ntau lub hlis los ntawm lawv lub sijhawm qub vim Rolls-Royce qhov teeb meem zoo-tuning lub zog cog. Thawj BS.360 lub cav tsis muaj lub zog tshaj tawm, uas cuam tshuam rau cov yam ntxwv thiab cov khoom ntawm cov qauv. Vim yog qhov yuav tsum tau hloov lub nyoob hoom qav taub rau kev thauj mus los ntawm lub nkoj C-130 Hercules lub dav hlau thiab kev npaj rau kev ua haujlwm tsis pub dhau 2 teev tom qab tshem tawm, cov neeg tsim qauv yuav tsum siv lub "compact" unit ntawm cov kabmob thiab lub ntsiab rotor nrog cov ntsiab lus forged. los ntawm ib qho thaiv ntawm titanium. Cov kev daws teeb meem ntxaws ntxiv rau tom kawg tau tsim los ntawm Fab Kis cov kws tshaj lij los ntawm Aerospatiale.
Tsib tus qauv tsim los rau kev kuaj xyuas lub Hoobkas, txhua tus pleev xim rau xim sib txawv rau kev sib txawv. Thawj tus qauv cim XW5 yog daj, XW835 grey, XW836 liab, XW837 xiav thiab lub xeem XW838 txiv kab ntxwv. Txij li thaum cov ntawv luam tawm grey dhau qhov kev ntsuam xyuas hauv av, Lynx liab tau tawm thib ob (Lub Cuaj Hli 839, 28), thiab xiav thiab grey nyoob hoom qav taub tau tawm tom ntej hauv lub Peb Hlis 1971. Ntxiv rau cov qauv, xyoo 1972 ua ntej tsim cov airframes tau siv los kuaj thiab kho qhov tsim kom zoo, teeb tsa kom ua tau raws li cov kev xav tau ntawm cov neeg tau txais kev pab yav tom ntej - Cov Tub Rog Askiv (nrog rau kev caij tsheb kauj vab), Navy thiab Fabkis Aeronavale Naval Aviation ( ob qho tib si nrog lub log tsheb tsaws iav). Thaum pib, yuav tsum muaj xya ntawm lawv, tab sis thaum lub sij hawm kev ntsuam xyuas ib lub tsheb tsoo (tus Tsov tus tw boom folding mechanism ua tsis tau tejyam) thiab lwm tus tau tsim.
