Tutorial for the manufacture of the ship model of the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov. Tark "Admiral Kuznetsov" Aircraft Carrier Kuznetsov blueprints

Russian multipurpose fighter Su-33 crashed while landing on the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov". According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the pilot was able to eject and was picked up by a rescue helicopter. The department said that the accident occurred due to a broken cable, which helps the plane to brake on the deck. As a result, the Su-33 rolled out of the deck. During its short stay at the Syrian coast, "Kuznetsov" has already lost two aircraft.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the incident, said: “This is a very tense, difficult and heroic work. First of all, the point is that the pilot survived. " In mid-November, a Russian MiG-29 fighter, also part of the Admiral Kuznetsov air group, crashed. The plane fell into the water near the aircraft carrier. The pilot was saved. The official cause of the accident was engine failure. Unofficially, the reason was all the same brake cables: "Mig" circled in the area of the aircraft carrier, while on the deck they were trying to fix the cable, torn by the previous landing aircraft. The repair was delayed, as a result of which the fighter simply did not have enough fuel and it fell into the sea.

The only Russian aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" as part of the Russian Navy's ship group is located in the Mediterranean Sea. On November 15, combat aircraft based on it began to strike targets in Syria.

Military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer, commenting on the loss of the second Russian combat aircraft from the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov", draws particular attention to the very senselessness of his mission off the coast of Syria. The expert is sure that the purpose of the admirals who sent the aircraft carrier there was to demonstrate to Vladimir Putin the justification for the huge costs of the fleet:

Why is Putin using an aircraft carrier?

Reuters 10.21.2016
Andrey Sharogradskiy: How common are aircraft carrier accidents associated with breaking braking cables?

Pavel Felgenhauer: Well, in general, they are not very common, otherwise there would be no carrier aviation in the world. They seem to say that the cable broke, but I don't know for sure. Either the pilot was ill-prepared, or the ropes were rotten, or both at once.

- Maybe the problem is that the "Admiral Kuznetsov" is an outdated ship?

“The problem is not his age, which is quite normal for a ship. Aircraft carriers serve for a long time. These are large ships, they are designed for a fairly long service. And the fact that his trip to the Mediterranean Sea from a military point of view is absolutely meaningless - from start to finish. This is purely a PR campaign. The ship was not built for such voyages. He simply has nothing to do there. He could not do anything there and didn’t do anything - only he suffered completely senseless losses.

- But both the aircraft carrier and its aircraft are performing some kind of combat mission?

- He cannot bomb Syria. The planes had to take off from an aircraft carrier and land at a Russian base. There they filled up with fuel and bombs, flew to bomb something. At the same time, the SU-33 aircraft are also not designed for strikes against ground and sea targets. They weren't built for that. They are clean fighters. The pilots are not prepared for this. The planes were supplied with some kind of sighting equipment, but all the same, they were not intended for this. He performs there a completely meaningless function of just such a representation. That is, a life-size self-propelled model of an aircraft carrier is directed towards Syria. True, he walks slowly, because, again, he is not intended for warm waters. It is a purely fighter aircraft carrier to protect deployed strategic nuclear submarines. He no longer has any special goals. Therefore, he must be in the Barents Sea, where there are his charges - strategic nuclear submarines. He must protect them from anti-submarine aircraft in the event of a nuclear war. It has a power plant that is not intended for long-distance hikes. Airplanes that are not designed for bombing strikes and any other strikes against naval targets too.

- Why was "Admiral Kuznetsov" sent on a campaign in the Mediterranean?

- The admirals wanted to show Putin that trillions are not being spent on the navy for nothing, that the navy can do something. But the demonstration is not very convincing, because in reality "Kuznetsov" can do nothing useful - only lose airplanes. Unlike Peter the Great, whose nuclear power plant is designed for long-range cruises, Kuznetsov was never intended for them. Even the official autonomy is only 40 days.

- And because of what, in your opinion, the accidents occurred?

- Most likely, they are tired - the crew, the pilots. The load for them is peak. It means - mistakes, losses. These are not American aircraft carriers that are constantly at sea. They have replacement crews there. This is a completely different thing. "Kuznetsov" was sent to portray that our fleet can operate in the Mediterranean almost like the American one, that money should be spent on it. In the middle of next year, the rearmament program until 2025 should be approved. And there the main expense item is precisely naval weapons. This is very important for the fleet. Because if funding is cut, then the leadership of the General Staff will, of course, substitute the fleet in the first place. Well, their programs are wildly expensive. Monstrous. It was very important for them to show that they can do something, that they are not completely useless. Although in reality, our fleet for such regional conventional wars, in general, is useless. No, they play an important supply role there in Syria. There, every day, 2,000 tons of various supplies are delivered to Syria. And the fleet does it, including landing ships. They bought old ruins abroad, transport ships. They are sailing under a naval flag so that the Turks do not inspect them in the straits. They supply the group in Syria.

And the naval unit ... Well, yes, it fires these cruise missiles, which is also wildly expensive and, in general, useless. Not that it's completely useless, but pointless. Because shooting rockets for $ 5 million at militants in Toyota is a rather pointless exercise. It's good that no one has died yet. The pilots are saved. Though will they fly or not? After a bailout, pilots usually no longer fly. There, back injuries can be very serious. And we have very few deck pilots. Two have already suffered. This is not good, because one of them will probably not fly anymore. Maybe both. All this in order to depict the existence of an aircraft carrier, which is not an aircraft carrier. It will be good if it goes back on its own.

- So what are the planes on the Admiral Kuznetsov not of the type that are usually based on it?

- Why not those? The same. And we have no others. The SU-33, aka SU-27K, is no longer in production. There are a dozen of them left. Yes, it crashed, but there were only three or four of them. They, apparently, do not fly at all after this accident. In principle, in theory, the aircraft carrier should be delivered, when it returns, for major repairs, rebuilt for the MiG-29. Because the SU-33 has not been produced since the early 1990s, and there seem to be no plans to produce it. And the MIG-29 is being produced. He was brought to mind for India. True, they installed French avionics for India. Which one is now on those few planes that we have, I do not know. But the plans are such - to remake "Admiral Kuznetsov" under the MIG-29. Because the SU-33 is almost gone. So he left with a dozen planes. Well, what kind of aircraft carrier is it - it has 10 aircraft in total and a deck crew. Before that it had been under repair for years, but now it’s such a long march, and even with constant combat work. The admirals, like in a casino, put it on "zero" - they say, this ship, which is not designed for such tasks, in this heavy, wild tension, in such conditions will show itself remarkably. Well, they didn't do it very well. So far, there have been no particular successes. They reported that they had killed some 30 militants. And since the aviators always exaggerate the enemy's losses by at least 10 times, then maybe, indeed, two or three people were killed.

The expert is sure that the purpose of the admirals who sent the aircraft carrier there was to demonstrate to Vladimir Putin the justification for the huge costs of the fleet:

"Admiral Kuznetsov" is a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser (in fact, a full-fledged aircraft carrier), which is part of the Russian fleet. Founded in 1982 under the name "Riga", during construction it was renamed "Leonid Brezhnev", and when it was launched in 1987 it received the name "Tbilisi". At the final stage of testing in 1990, the "Admiral Kuznetsov" was named. The ship's displacement is 58.6 thousand tons. The crew is 1,960 people.

Construction and operation

The design of the new aircraft-carrying cruiser of the Soviet fleet was carried out at the Nevsky Design Bureau under the direction of designer Sergeev. It differed from the four similar ships already built by that time (project "Kiev") by the presence of a take-off jump and an enlarged deck, and was supposed to become the first in a new class of aircraft-carrying cruisers.

The bookmark of the ship took place on September 1, 1982. It was built at the shipyards of the Black Sea shipbuilding plant in the city of Nikolaev, the Leningrad Proletarsky plant was engaged in the production of equipment for it.

The launching of the ship was carried out on December 4, 1985, after which the further installation of equipment and the installation of weapons were carried out afloat. By 1989, when the ship was 71% ready, its sea trials began, including aircraft landing and takeoff. In December 1991, the cruiser, having rounded Europe, made the transition from the Black Sea to the Vidyaevo base (Murmansk region) and joined the Northern Fleet of Russia.

Retrofitting of the ship and its tests continued. He received the first permanent carrier group (Su-33 fighters) in 1993. In December 1995, "Admiral Kuznetsov" made the first independent 90-day cruise to the Mediterranean Sea with 13 Su-33s and 11 helicopters on board.

Until 1998 it was under repair. In 2004 and 2007, as part of a group of ships, he made cruises to the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. In 2008 it underwent a new renovation and modernization. In 2014, the cruiser's air group received new MiG-29K aircraft. In October 2016 he was sent to the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Syria.

Design features

The hull of the TAVKR "Admiral Kuznetsov" consists of seven decks and includes a large number of bulkheads capable of withstanding the impact of 400 kg of ammunition (in TNT equivalent), which increases the survivability of the ship. It differs from most conventional aircraft carriers in the use of take-off ramps, the power plant and the presence of the Granit anti-aircraft missile systems.

The rejection of catapults and the use of takeoff from a springboard made it possible to save on weight and energy maintenance of the ship, while reducing the likelihood of the impossibility of using aircraft due to the failure of the equipment of the catapults. On the other hand, such a solution complicates the take-off and landing of aircraft - they are possible only from one side of the deck and in one direction.

The Admiral Kuznetsov's fuel oil power plant is distinguished by increased smoke generation during operation, but the use of fuel oil as fuel significantly reduces the cost of maintaining the ship and its repair. In addition, the fuel oil stored in the cruiser's double hull is part of the anti-torpedo protection.

On the bow of the ship there are Granit anti-ship missile launchers capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 700 km. With their help, "Admiral Kuznetsov" can destroy enemy ships and fire at coastal targets without raising the aircraft of the wing. When firing "Granites" aircraft take-off from the deck is impossible.

Armament TAVKR "Admiral Kuznetsov"

The ship's main weapon is its air group. It includes 14 Su-33 and 10 MiG-29K fighters. In addition, there are 15 Ka-27 multipurpose helicopters and 2 Ka-31 reconnaissance helicopters (a radar patrol helicopter) on board.

12 complexes of anti-ship missiles "Granit" make up the strike weapons of the cruiser. To counter enemy aircraft, it is equipped with 24 launchers of the Dagger anti-aircraft missile system and 8 Kortik air defense missile systems.

Order of Ushakov heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser (TAVKR) "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov" is a Project 1143.5 ship, the only one in its class in the Russian Navy. Designed to defeat large surface targets, protect naval formations from attacks of a potential enemy using aircraft carriers and a large number of submarines; also has the task of supporting amphibious operations.
Designed for the basing and maintenance of 28 aircraft and 24 helicopters. Also, the aircraft carrier carries 12 launchers of 4K-80 heavy rockets "Granit".
"Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov" is the only aircraft-carrying ship in the world that can be in the Black Sea, since according to the Montreux Convention the passage of "clean" aircraft carriers through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles is prohibited, and the TAVKR "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov" has rocket armament and on this basis is declared as an "aircraft carrier".

Description of the model of the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" by Trumpeter

Annotation.

The idea of creating a model of the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" arose due to both objective and subjective circumstances.

The objective reason that prompted the team of the "Shipbuilding" association to undertake the development of the project was the desire to acquaint students with the history of the Russian Navy, to bring them closer to understanding the international situation that existed at the time of the ship's creation.

In the modern world, the Russian fleet protects the country's interests at all latitudes of the world's oceans. The aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov", launched from the stocks of the Black Sea shipyard in 1991, was created to protect the sea formations of the Russian Navy.

The subjective reason for the creation of the cruiser model was the opportunity for students to improve their skills in working with tools, as well as the development of analytical and creative thinking (search for information, acquaintance with the history and technology of the Navy, application of knowledge in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology). In the process of working on the creation of a model of an aircraft carrier, schoolchildren had to find answers to questions about the technical characteristics of ships, about ways to ensure buoyancy and stability, about the possibilities of eliminatingroll and trim, on the distribution of weapons under the deck of the ship, etc.

The aircraft carrier model is completely radio-controlled: a team of 6 people, being on the shore, has the ability to remotely maneuver the ship, take off and land aircraft (radio-controlled helicopters), and launch rockets.

The presented model is unique:

the ship's hull is built from available materials - plywood, pine laths, fiberglass and epoxy;

a fundamentally new electrical circuit has been developed to control the ship (forward and backward movement, turn);

illumination of the runway and masthead lights is fully analogous.

The work of the team of teachers of the Shipbuilding Association was adequately appreciated by the jury at the All-Russian Children's Festival of Folk Culture "Heirs of Traditions", held on September 8-11, 2016 in the Vologda Region. In the nomination "Traditional shipbuilding" the model took the 2nd place.

This tutorial is intended for teachers of additional education of shipbuilding and ship modeling associations.

Explanatory note.

Aircraft carriers are the personification of the naval power of the state, they are intended to serve and base aviation as a mobile airfield;are carriers of nuclear and missile weapons.

The heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser (TAVKR) "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov" is the only one in its class. It is capable of effectively carrying out anti-aircraft defense of ships, ensuring the safety of nuclear-powered missile submarine cruisers, conducting air operations, and striking large surface targets.

It is part of the Northern Fleet. The Admiral Kuznetsov differs from most conventional aircraft carriers in the use of take-off ramps, the power plant and the presence of the Granit anti-ship missile systems. It is the only aircraft carrier in the world capable of landing and taking off a heavy Su-33 fighter.

On board "Admiral Kuznetsov" may be located28 aircraft (carrier-based Su-33 fighters and MiG-29K multifunctional fighters) and 24 Ka-27 and Ka-29 anti-submarine and attack helicopters, Granit missiles (each weighing seven tons and a range of up to 700 kilometers), a powerful system anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defense.

Cruiser dimensions: 306 meters long and 72 meters wide. The Admiral Kuznetsov's speed is up to 32 knots (59 kilometers per hour). The cruising range with an economical course is more than eight thousand miles. Displacement - 61.3 thousand tons.

The radio-controlled model "Admiral Kuznetsov" is a prototype of an operating ship of the Russian Navy, has an engine power of 1.5 kW, and has excellent driving characteristics. When the batteries are fully charged, the power reserve is up to 1.5 hours.

The aircraft carrier model measures 3m long and 80cm wide (scale 1: 100), and is advantageous in comparison with the ready-made ones soldbench teamsmodelyamimade of plastic "Heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov» scale 1: 350(874x205 mm) or on a scale of 1: 720 (425x100 mm).

Purpose of the tutorial- rendering the necessary assistance to teachers of additional education and schoolchildren in the creation of operating radio-controlled models of ships on the example of the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov".

Tasks:

Acquaintance with the materials and manufacturing technology of the aircraft carrier model;

Improving the skills of working with tools;

Use of elements of design, electrical, physical and mathematical knowledge.

Relevance benefits:creating a model of a powerful modern ship serves as a way to attract students to the Ship Modeling Association.

Heavy aircraft carrier model

"Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov"

Materials for work:

Wood, birch plywood (10 mm), blanks of bars of various sizes, slats with a thickness of 2-4 mm (of various lengths and widths, since they will be joined during operation), epoxy resin (10 kg), fiberglass (3 rolls) , car putty (4 kg), primer, wood impregnation, car paint, sanding tape (paper), hot melt glue.

Tools:

Industrial stapler, jigsaw, grinder, drill (screwdriver), angle grinder (grinder), nippers, cutting tools (knives, saws), spatulas (rubber), thermal gun.

Stages of work:

a) On the Internet we find drawings of the model of the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov".

b) We increase the size of the drawings in accordance with the selected scale. We make templates of the main parts on paper. We transfer templates to plywood. We cut out the blanks, process them with sandpaper, removing small chamfers at the edges and removing chips and burrs.

c) We put on transverse frames on two longitudinal beams(Frame (Dutch. Spanthout, from spant - "rib" and hout - "wood") - the transverse rib of the ship's hull; wooden or metal transverse stiffening element of the hull of the ship, aircraft).

In the upper part of each frame, a groove is provided for securing 2 load-bearing beams (each measuring 20x50x5000 mm). We use hot melt glue to connect the frames with the beam.

Internal view of the ship's hull with installed frames.

d) When the glue on the frames is dry, we begin to sheathe the sides with thin strips. The thickness of the material should be 0.8 - 1.2 mm, because only in this case we will be able to bend the trim parts without the risk of damaging them. We fix the sheathing slats with a stapler at the points of contact with the frames.

The initial stage of work on the ship's skin:

We finish building the bow:

e) After the hull plating, we eliminate the irregularities and roughness of the lath plating using a grinding machine. In places of the most pronounced defects, deflections, we apply a layer of putty on wood in order to save epoxy resin.

Sealing of inter-lath joints with a mixture of epoxy resin and sawdust:

f) Grinding of the ship's hull after impregnation with epoxy resin glass cloth applied to the skin:

g)We make from thinplywood deck superstructures, which include the ship control center, radar station (radar), navigation control system.
