On June 4th, 65438, it was learned at the 5th China Ocean Economic Expo, which opened in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, that China had built the fastest unmanned boat "Tianxing-1" in the world. "Tianxing-1" came out in September 20 17, with a maximum speed of over 50 knots (92.6 km/h), which was jointly developed by Harbin Engineering University and Shenzhen Heisby Boat Company. Total length12.2m, full load displacement of 7.5t.. This is a hybrid of oil and electricity. Hersby is the largest official speedboat manufacturer in China. At present, "Tianxing No.1" has been delivered.
Last year, the British military unveiled an unmanned reconnaissance speedboat with a speed of over 50 knots and a length of 10 meter. Hersby said that according to its information, the unmanned boat in China is the fastest. The speed of manned speedboats can reach 70 knots, but high-speed navigation requires experienced drivers, and heavy waves and obstacles increase the danger, which is a difficult problem faced by unmanned speedboats.
Yachts are small in tonnage, fast and flexible. The displacement is generally tens to hundreds of tons, the sailing speed is 30 to 40 knots, some can reach 50 knots, and the endurance is 500-3000 nautical miles. The boats are equipped with weapons, and some speedboats are also equipped with naval guns of 20 to 76 mm caliber. A speedboat with a larger tonnage may also be equipped with mines and depth charges. Matching sensing system includes search, detection, weapon control, communication and navigation, electronic warfare and so on.
The speedboat is the "sprint champion" in the ship, with a maximum speed of 40-60 knots, and is known as the "marine light cavalry". Speedboats are classified according to the weapons they are equipped with, including torpedo boats, missile boats and missile torpedo boats. Although the speedboat is small, it is powerful and plays a great role. For large and medium-sized enemy ships invading the offshore, torpedo boats and missile boats can attack alone or cooperate with other surface ships to destroy the invading enemy ships. You can also send speedboats to attack the enemy's transport fleet and destroy the enemy's maritime transport lines. The speedboat is fast, small in size, can be hidden, and can effectively attack enemy bases and berths suddenly. In shallow waterways, narrow seas, reefs and other places, speedboats can be used to mine.
