Greyback ndi Growler
Kukhazikitsidwa kokha kwa mzinga wa Regulus II kuchokera ku chonyamulira ndege cha Greyback, Ogasiti 18, 1958. National Archives
Mu June 1953, Dipatimenti ya Chitetezo ku United States inasaina mgwirizano ndi Chance Vought kuti apange mzinga wapanyanja womwe ungathe kunyamula zida zankhondo za nyukiliya pamtunda wa makilomita 1600 pa liwiro lapamwamba kwambiri. Kumayambiriro kwa mapangidwe a roketi ya Regulus II, Navy ya US inayamba kuchititsa maphunziro amalingaliro a zonyamulira zake zapansi pamadzi.
Kuyamba kwa ntchito pamivi yapamadzi ya US Navy kunayambira theka loyamba la 40s. Nkhondo zamagazi pazilumba zatsopano za Pacific zidapangitsa Asitikali ankhondo aku US kuti ayambe kuphunzira ndege zosayendetsedwa ndi wailesi zomwe zidapangidwa kuti ziwononge zida zotetezedwa kwambiri pamtunda. Ntchitoyi inakula kwambiri mu theka lachiwiri la 1944, pamene zotsalira za mabomba owuluka a German Fieseler Fi 103 (omwe amadziwika kuti V-1) anaperekedwa kwa Achimereka. Pofika kumapeto kwa chaka, zomwe zidapangidwa ku Germany zidakopedwa ndikuyikidwa muzopanga zambiri pansi pa dzina la JB-2. Poyamba, analinganiza kupanga makope 1000 pamwezi, omwe pamapeto pake anayenera kugwiritsidwa ntchito polimbana ndi zisumbu za Japan. Chifukwa cha kutha kwa nkhondo ku Far East, izi sizinachitike, ndipo zida zoponyera zidagwiritsidwa ntchito poyesa ndi mayesero ambiri. Maphunzirowa, otchedwa Loon, omwe amatenga nawo gawo, mwa zina, kuyesa machitidwe osiyanasiyana owongolera, kapena kuthekera kogwiritsa ntchito zida zoponyera m'mabwalo amadzi.
Kubwera kwa zida za nyukiliya, Asitikali ankhondo aku US adawona kuthekera kophatikiza bomba la atomiki ndi zida zotsimikizika. Kugwiritsa ntchito mtundu watsopano wankhondo kunapangitsa kuti zitheke kusiya kuwongolera kosalekeza kwa mzinga kuchokera ku ndege kapena sitima yomwe ikutsagana nayo, zomwe ndizofunikira kuti zikwaniritse zolondola. Kuti muwongolere mizingayo kuti ifike komwe mukufuna, njira yosavuta yowongolera yozikidwa pa gyroscopic autopilot ingagwiritsidwe ntchito, ndipo nkhani yakugunda molondola idathetsedwa pogwiritsa ntchito zida zanyukiliya. Vuto linali kukula kwake ndi kulemera kwake, zomwe zinakakamiza pulogalamu yopangira mzinga wotsogola kwambiri wokhala ndi utali wautali komanso malipiro ofanana. Mu August 1947, ntchitoyo inalandira dzina la SSM-N-8 ndi dzina la Regulus, ndipo kukhazikitsa kwake kunaperekedwa kwa Chance Vought, yomwe, payokha, yakhala ikugwira ntchito motere kuyambira October 1943. polojekiti yonse.
Pulogalamu ya Regulu
Ntchito yomwe idachitika idapangitsa kuti pakhale mawonekedwe ngati ndege okhala ndi fuselage yozungulira yokhala ndi mpweya wapakati mu injini ndi mapiko a 40 °. Nthenga za mbale ndi chiwongolero chaching'ono zinagwiritsidwa ntchito. Mkati mwa fuselage muli malo a warhead ndi kulemera kwakukulu kwa 1400 kg (nyukiliya Mk5 kapena thermonuclear W27), kumbuyo komwe kuli chiwongolero ndi injini yotsimikiziridwa ya Allison J33-A-18 yomwe ili ndi mphamvu ya 20,45 kN. Kukhazikitsako kudaperekedwa ndi injini ziwiri za roketi za Aerojet General zokhala ndi mphamvu ya 2 kN. Maroketi ophunzitsira anali ndi zida zothawirako zomwe zimatha kubweza, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti zikhale zotheka kuziyika pabwalo la ndege ndikuzigwiritsanso ntchito.
Njira yoyendetsera wailesi idagwiritsidwa ntchito, kuphatikiza ndi gyroscopic autopilot. Mbali ina ya dongosololi inali kuthekera kolamulira roketi ndi sitima ina yokhala ndi zida zoyenera. Izi zidapangitsa kuti zitheke kuwongolera rocket panthawi yonseyi. Izi zatsimikiziridwa mobwerezabwereza m'zaka zotsatira.
muzochita, incl. pa mayesero pa November 19, 1957. Chombocho chinawombera kuchokera pamtunda wa heavy cruiser Helena (CA 75), ataphimba mtunda wa 112 nautical miles, adatengedwa ndi sitima yapamadzi ya Tusk (SS 426), yomwe inali pansi pa ulamuliro wa kutsatira 70 Nautical miles pamene Twin Carbonero (AGSS) anatenga ulamuliro wa 337) - galimoto imeneyi anabweretsa Regulus pa otsiriza 90 Nautical mailosi kukwaniritsa cholinga chake. Chombocho chinafika pamtunda wa makilomita 272 ndipo chinagunda chandamale pamtunda wa mamita 137.
