The Thunderhawk gunship is a multi-use aircraft in wide use by Space Marine Chapters and the Sisters of Battle. Each Chapter of the Space Marines maintains its own fleet of Thunderhawks. Normally reserved for large-scale battles, time and time again its use in the various fields of war has been proven. With such might like this, only a great threat to the Imperium can demand use of these mighty craft.
雷鹰炮艇是一种多用途飞机，被星际战士战团和战斗修女广泛使用。星际战士的每一战团都有自己的雷鹰机队。它通常用于大规模战斗，一次又一次地被证明在各个战争领域的使用。有了这样的力量，只有对帝国的巨大威胁才能要求使用这些强大的飞船。
Raven Guard Thunderhawk 暗鸦守卫雷鹰
History 历史
The Thunderhawk was first deployed during the last years of the Great Crusade as a cheaper-to-produce replacement for the Warhawk VI "Stormbird" gunship. Armed to the teeth with a Thunderhawk cannon and various other weapons, its use became more and more widespread.
雷鹰在大远征的最后几年首次部署，作为战鹰VI“风暴鸟”炮艇的廉价替代品。用雷鹰加农炮和其他各种武器武装到牙齿，它的使用变得越来越广泛。
Many Marines who rode in the newly-deployed Thunderhawks felt uncomfortable, finding them lighter and flimsier compared to the more dependable Stormbirds. During the Horus Heresy, Captain Remus Ventanus of the Ultramarines predicted that the Thunderhawk was just a "stopgap" design, and the Legions would develop a better design, or revert to the more reliable Stormbird, before long.
许多乘坐新部署的雷鹰的星际战士感到不舒服，发现与更可靠的风暴鸟相比，它们更轻、更脆弱。在荷鲁斯叛乱期间，极限战士的雷穆斯·文塔努斯连长预测，雷鹰只是一种“权宜之计”的设计，不久之后，军团将开发出更好的设计，或者恢复到更可靠的风暴鸟。
Design 设计
Thunderhawks are among the most technologically sophisticated vehicles employed by any Imperial force, and as such benefit from a number of advanced systems.
雷鹰是帝国军队使用的技术最先进的载具之一，因此受益于许多先进的系统。
Armament 军备
The Thunderhawk is armed with a large number of weapons, though the configuration varies. Its primary weapon is fitted on a limited traverse dorsal mount and can mount either a Turbo-laser Destructor, powerful enough to strike down even a Scout Titan with an accurate shot, or a modified Battle Cannon useful for ground bombardment.
雷鹰配备了大量武器，但配置各不相同。它的主要武器安装在一个有限的横向背架上，可以安装一个涡轮激光破坏炮，其威力足以用精确的射击击毁侦察泰坦，也可以安装一门用于地面轰炸的改进型战斗炮。
Thunderhawk gunship 雷鹰炮艇
It also has two Lascannons mounted on either attack wing and at least four Heavy Bolters in hull-mounted twin-linked sponsons, with room for four additional Heavy Bolters under the main wing tips.
它还有两个安装在攻击翼上的激光炮，以及至少四个安装在船体上的双联舷侧重型爆矢枪，主翼尖端下还有四个额外的重型爆矢枪的空间。
In addition each wing has three bomb pylons, each of which carry one Hellstrike Missile, three Bombs or Smart Bombs, or an external fuel pod, for a total of six missiles/pods or eighteen bombs. All of the Thunderhawk's weapon systems are controlled by the gunner through remote multi-spectrum surveyors from the flight deck with assistance provided by the Machine Spirit.
此外，每个机翼有三个炸弹挂架，每个挂架携带一枚地狱打击导弹、三枚炸弹或智能炸弹，或一个外部燃料舱，总共六枚导弹/吊舱或十八枚炸弹。雷鹰的所有武器系统都由炮手通过飞行甲板上的远程多光谱测量仪在机魂的协助下进行控制。

Control Systems 控制系统
The pilot, co-pilot, navigator and gunner are all located in the gunship's flight deck above the forward hold and in front of the upper hold. The navigator and co-pilot also control the primary narrow-band, long-range communications transmitter located on top of the fuselage, along with the sensor array and electronic counter-measures. The navigational equipment also transmits information to Space Marine command units, while an emergency location beacon will automatically begin broadcasting should the Thunderhawk be shot down. The Thunderhawk has external gun cameras, some of which are situated on the forward fuselage and linked to the heavy bolters. The images captured by the picter are displayed on a screen in the cockpit. The cameras allow for magnification far beyond normal Space Marine vision, having enough resolution to show objects tens of thousands of miles distant like the wreckage surrounding a destroyed spaceship in great detail.
驾驶员、副驾驶、领航员和炮手都位于炮艇前舱上方和上舱前方的飞行甲板上。领航员和副驾驶还控制着位于机身顶部的主要窄带远程通信发射机，以及传感器阵列和电子对抗设备。导航设备还将信息传输到星际战士指挥部，而如果雷鹰被击落，紧急位置信标将自动开始广播。雷鹰有外部枪支摄像头，其中一些位于机身前部，与重型爆矢枪相连。摄影师拍摄的图像显示在驾驶舱的屏幕上。这些相机的放大倍数远远超出了正常的星际战士视觉，具有足够的分辨率，可以非常详细地显示数万英里外的物体，比如被摧毁的宇宙飞船周围的残骸。
Despite their complexity the Thunderhawk's systems are rugged and reliable, and are all controlled by an M33 'Cygnus' class Machine Spirit. Utilizing aetheric and phlogiston feed coils, alembic shielding and pseudo-synaptic relays, the Cygnus has a cognition speed of 40,000 co/sec with a maximum contemplation capacity of 10,000 kilobrains, making it comparable to that found in a Reaver Battle Titan.
尽管雷鹰的系统很复杂，但它们坚固可靠，全部由M33“天鹅座”级机魂控制。利用以太和燃素馈送线圈、净化防护和伪突触中继器，天鹅座的认知速度为40000次每秒，最大思考能力为10000千脑，与掠夺者泰坦的认知速度相当。
Defensive Measures 防御措施
Armour for the Thunderhawk is constructed in a similar manner to that of a Land Raider, giving it an unprecedented level of protection. An adamantium inner hull is layered on top by titanium rolled plates, followed by a thermoplas fibre mesh, and then two layers of ceramite, the second of which is ablative. The ceramite and thermplas fibre layers are increased in depth to provide the craft with additional protection in order to perform repeated atmospheric entries, making them thicker than those on a Land Raider, at the expense of thinning the titanium and adamantium layers. These armour layers makes the Thunderhawk very well-protected and particularly resistant to Melta Weapons.
雷鹰的装甲结构与兰德掠袭者相似，为其提供了前所未有的保护。精金内壳由钛轧制板层叠在顶部，然后是热塑性玻璃纤维网，然后是两层陶钢，第二层是烧蚀的。陶钢和热塑性塑料纤维层的深度增加，为飞行器提供了额外的保护，以便进行重复的大气突入，使其比兰德掠袭者上的更厚，代价是钛和精金层变薄。这些装甲层使雷鹰受到很好的保护，特别能抵抗热熔武器。
In addition to its armouring, Thunderhawks also come equipped with a Decoy Flare Launcher located in the lower rear fuselage, along with additional electronic counter-measures used to jam enemy sensors and tracking equipment, as well as an advanced electronic baffling suit. Thunderhawks could further be outfitted with Flare Shields or a Ramjet Diffraction Grid.
除了装甲外，雷鹰还配备了位于机身后部下部的诱饵弹发射器，以及用于干扰敌方传感器和跟踪设备的额外电子对抗设备，以及先进的电子防护层。雷鹰还可以配备闪光护盾或冲压喷气衍射栅格。
Engines 引擎
The Thunderhawk is powered by triple RX-92-00 Mars pattern, combination rocket/afterburning turbofans mounted on each wing and under the fuselage. In an atmosphere the turbofans provide enough thrust to propel the craft to approximately 2,000 kilometers per hour at 5,000 feet, reaching near-hypersonic velocities during suborbital flights. During the process of leaving the atmosphere, the Thunderhawk accelerates to hypersonic speed, until it finally reaches orbital velocity. When operating in space the forward turbofan section is isolated from the exhaust and combustion chambers, where fuel from the onboard fusion reactor is pumped in to create a high-pressure, high-velocity stream of gasses which provide thrust.
雷鹰由三重RX-92-00火星型提供动力，火箭/加力涡轮风扇组合安装在每个机翼和机身下方。在大气层中，涡扇发动机提供足够的推力，将飞行器在5000英尺的高空推进到每小时约2000公里，在亚轨道飞行中达到接近超音速的速度。在离开大气层的过程中，雷鹰加速到超音速，直到最终达到轨道速度。当在太空中运行时，前涡扇发动机部分与排气室和燃烧室隔离开来，在那里，来自机载聚变反应堆的燃料被泵入，产生高压、高速的气体流，提供推力。
Additional retro exhaust nozzles are located around the Thunderhawk's hull to provide maneuverability in zero-gravity conditions. They also allow the craft to operate in hover mode when in an atmosphere. For improved atmospheric handling the gunship features two 'attack' wings located above the main wings, which provide additional directional stability when making gun attacks. Their movement is synchronized and, during normal flight, are locked into position by bracing on the upper main wings, which are released when the Thunderhawk approaches a target.
额外的反向排气喷口位于雷鹰船体周围，以在零重力条件下提供机动性。它们还允许飞行器在大气层中以悬停模式运行。为了提高大气操控性，炮艇在主翼上方配备了两个“攻击”翼，在进行枪械攻击时提供了额外的方向稳定性。它们的运动是同步的，在正常飞行过程中，通过上主翼的支撑锁定到位，当雷鹰接近目标时，上主翼会被释放。
Transport Capacity 运输能力
At full capacity a Thunderhawk gunship can carry thirty power armoured Space Marines, or half as many in Terminator Armour, divided between the upper and forward holds. It can also carry a single Dreadnought in the forward hold, which takes the space of five Space Marines, or Space Marine Bike and Attack Bikes, which take up space equivalent to three and four Space Marines, respectively. Embarked troops can enter and exit through a forward assault ramp or two access doors on either side of the forward hull.
雷鹰炮艇满负荷运行时，可搭载30名动力盔甲星际战士，或一半的终结者盔甲，分为上舱和前舱。它还可以在前沿舱携带一名无畏，这需要五名星际战士的空间，或者星际战士摩托和攻击摩托，它们分别占用相当于三名和四名星际战士的空间。跳帮部队可以通过前方突击坡道或前方船体两侧的两个通道门进出。

Various uses and strategies used 使用的各种用途和策略
As the Thunderhawk's engines allow it to drop to lower atmosphere without landing, it proves to be one of the most useful craft employed by the Space Marines. With the ability to carry three full tactical squads, with precision a Drop Pod can't match, the Thunderhawk is used to insert marines into the thick of it, not just destroy the enemy. Whereas some chapters would prefer to simply launch a full-scale assault on the enemy, or use Drop Pods, many, many Chapters use Thunderhawks. Its tactical range and huge amount of firepower prove it to be one of the most useful vehicles ever created. Not only this, but the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Techmarines still hold the secrets to the creation of the Thunderhawk.
由于雷鹰的发动机允许它在不着陆的情况下降落到较低的大气层，它被证明是星际战士使用的最有用的飞行器之一。雷鹰能够携带三个完整的战术小队，其精确度是空投舱无法比拟的，它被用来将星际战士投入其中，而不仅仅是摧毁敌人。虽然有些战团更喜欢对敌人发动全面攻击，或者使用空投舱，但许多战团都使用雷鹰。它的战术范围和巨大的火力证明它是有史以来最有用的载具之一。不仅如此，机械神教和技术军士仍然掌握着雷鹰制造的秘密。
Thunderhawks as Attack Craft 雷鹰作为攻击艇
Thunderhawks are not just used for ground attacks. Indeed, they are often launched into a space battle much like "normal" Attack craft where their firepower and Space Marine cargo make them potent additions to a Space Marine fleet.
雷鹰不仅仅用于地面攻击。事实上，它们经常被投入到太空战斗中，就像“正常”的攻击艇一样，它们的火力和星际战士货物使它们成为星际战士舰队的有力补充。
While slower than dedicated interceptors like the Fury, Thunderhawks are able to out-fight and out-last such craft, usually going twice as long as "regular" fighters before being forced to return to their mother ship for refueling and re-arming. While very useful in its own right, this strength and endurance also means that unlike most assault boats, Thunderhawks are more than capable of punching their way through enemy fighter screens and delivering their deadly payload to a warship for a devastating hit-and-run boarding action without the need for dedicated fighter escorts to pave the way for them.
虽然比像狂怒这样的专用拦截机慢，但雷鹰能够击败这样的飞机，通常比“常规”战斗机飞行时间长一倍，然后被迫返回母舰加油和重新武装。虽然其本身非常有用，但这种力量和耐力也意味着，与大多数攻击艇不同，雷鹰完全有能力穿越敌方战斗机的屏障，并将致命的运载运送到舰船上，进行毁灭性的撞击和跑打跳帮行动，而不需要专门的战斗机护航为它们铺平道路。

Variants 变体
Thunderhawk Transporter 雷鹰运输机
The Thunderhawk Transporter is a logistical variation of the normal Thunderhawk gunship. It has many of the same basic design features as the original but is armed with only four twin-linked Heavy Bolters, though it can carry as many as six Hellstrike missiles on its wing hardpoints, and is propelled by four RX-92-00 combination rocket/afterburning turbofans. The most noticeable difference is that it is missing the normal transport holds found on the Thunderhawk gunship, equipped instead with four massive magnetic clamping arms mounted on runners underneath the fuselage. These allow the Transporter to carry two Rhino or one Land Raider-sized vehicles, or an under-slung pod for carrying ammunition, fuel and other supplies. These items can be loaded and unloaded in quick order, minimizing the amount of time the Transporter is vulnerable while one the ground. A Thunderhawk Transport is also equipped with a winch to recover drop pods.
雷鹰运输机是普通雷鹰炮艇的后勤变体。它具有许多与原版相同的基本设计特征，但只配备了四个双联重型爆矢枪，尽管它的机翼可以携带多达六枚地狱打击导弹，并由四个RX-92-00组合火箭/加力涡扇发动机推进。最明显的区别是，它缺少了雷鹰炮艇上的正常运输舱，而是配备了安装在机身下方滑道上的四个巨大的磁性夹臂。这些允许运输机携带两辆犀牛或一辆兰德掠袭者大小的车辆，或一个用于携带弹药、燃料和其他物资的悬挂式吊舱。这些物品可以快速装卸，最大限度地减少运输机在地面上易受攻击的时间。雷鹰运输机还配备了一个绞车来回收空投舱。
