The Tu-160 supersonic(超音速的)strategic bomber was manufactured(制造) by Russia. The purpose2 of the aircraft is the delivery of nuclear and conventional weapons deep in continental theatres(戰(zhàn)區(qū)) of operation. The aircraft has all-weather, day-and-night capability and can operate at all geographical latitudes(地理緯度).
The performance of the Russian Tu-160 is often compared to the US B-lB. The aircraft has an operational range of 14,000km and a service ceiling(使用升限) of 16,000m. The maximum3 flight speed is 2,000km/h.
The bomber's airframe has a distinctive (特別的)appearance, with the wing and fuselage(機(jī)身) gradually integrated4 into a single-piece configuration(構(gòu)形,外形). The crew5 of the Tu-160 comprises a pilot and copilot, a navigator(領(lǐng)航員) , and an operator. The four crew are equipped with zero/ zero ejection(彈射) seats, which provide the crew with the option6 of ejecting safely throughout the entire range of altitudes and air speeds. In the cockpit(飛行員座艙) and cabins(座艙),all the data is presented on conventional electro-me- chanical(電動(dòng)機(jī)械的)indicators(指示器) and monitors.
TheTu-160cancarrynuclearandconventional weapons including long-range nuclear missiles. The aircraft is also capable of carrying a range of aerial (航空的)bombs with a total weight up to 40 tons.The aircraft is highly computerized, and the avionics (航空電子設(shè)備) systems include an integrated aiming, navigation (導(dǎo)航) and flight control system,with a navigation and attack radar, an electronic countermeasures (電子對(duì)抗) system, and automatic controls.
