Flying is a high-risk career, and various accidents are likely to occur during the flight. Therefore, no matter how small the flight base is, it must be equipped with a modern hospital. Once the pilot has an accident, he must be rescued at any time. After all, the pilot life is quite precious.
The Wasteland Village Base is a large aviation training base, and the base hospital is even more modern. You can easily scan your head with a CT machine.
Delano couldn't wait to run to the hospital, leaving only a few people left looking at each other.
Isn’t this a competition? Is it even better to compare?
“Let’s forget about the competition.” Wu Shengli said: “Let’s stick to the original plan. Come on, let’s go eat now.”
In the cafeteria, there was a lot of noise. Everyone was sitting in their seats, discussing all kinds of interesting things about becoming an instructor this time, but the one who talked the most was Delano.
Delano piloted the J-31A and single-handedly mobilized two escorting F-15s, scaring the Yankees' aerial tankers to the point of peeing!
That’s right, aerial tankers releasing fuel in the air is almost as scary as peeing. Although this matter is confidential, it can still be told as a joke when you return to China.
Xiang Jing sat on one of the tables and listened to the introduction with a smile. She was also at the scene at the time, commanding the early warning aircraft hundreds of kilometers away. Delano was not alone, and had been receiving guidance information from the early warning aircraft. Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy.
Xiang Jing felt very comfortable when she thought about the previous question about who had priority between early warning aircraft and fighter jets. What else could be said? Of course Delano had to listen to himself!
But what about Draenor?
Xiang Jing glanced around and did not see Delano. This guy had not obeyed orders since he returned to the dormitory. He must be with Mr. Qin and the others, right?
Thinking of this, Xiang Jing saw Qin Tao, Wu Shengli and others coming in from outside, chatting and laughing, and also saw the famous test pilot, but she just didn't see Delano.
Xiang Jing became anxious, stood up and ran over: "Mr. Qin, where is Xiang De?"
“Go to the hospital.”
"What, hospital? Is he injured?" Xiang Jing was very concerned and immediately planned to run out, but was stopped by Qin Tao.
“No injuries, he just wants to get a new toy as soon as possible, don’t worry about him, let’s eat ours.”
new toy? Xiang Jing didn't know what Qin Tao was talking about, but as long as he wasn't injured, it would be fine.
Xiang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then planned to sit back down.
"Comrade Xiang Jing, you have worked hard this time to be an instructor abroad. You are sharing the same table with us." Wu Shengli said: "I'd like to hear you tell me about your experience at the big dog family later, and what happened to Comrade Xiang De." The funny thing is, he is just an unstable factor, no matter where he goes, he will cause some trouble."
“Yes.” Xiang Jing nodded.
Everyone sat down, no more noise, and restored the original discipline. Wu Shengli picked up the wine glass: "Here, this first glass of wine is for you heroes who go out to be instructors. You have done extraordinary things in your ordinary posts." Not only did you help train the aviation force of the big dog, you also brought the blood and discipline of our Eastern soldiers there, thank you for your hard work!"
“Serve the motherland and the people!” The big guy said, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"This second glass of wine is for our navy. During the time you have been away, our navy has made breakthrough progress. It will be equipped with more powerful weapon systems in the future. I wish our navy will be even stronger." Go up a floor!”
The guys were very excited, raised their glasses again, and drank it all in one gulp.
After three glasses of wine, Wu Shengli said: "Okay, let's do whatever we want! If you want to toast, you can toast to Mr. Qin. If you come to me, I'll take a sip after you do it."
Everyone laughed.
Zhao Jiao picked up the wine glass: "Come on, Mr. Qin, I come first, first come, near the water. I'd like to propose a toast to you. The balance beam early warning aircraft we provide to the big dogs is a project promoted by you. The performance of this early warning aircraft is very advanced. Your vision is really good." so amazing."
"What are you, yours, Xiang Jing, you are Delano's wife, then we are a family, don't call us so unfamiliar." Qin Tao said: "After you come back, you should take a week off. It is colder in the north now. , you are welcome to go on vacation to Shuangsha Island for free."
“Okay, then let’s be respectful rather than obeying orders and thank Mr. Qin in advance.”
"Mr. Qin, I have a problem with you!" At this moment, an angry voice sounded outside: "We agreed to compete, but why were you all gone after I went back?"
Delanor comes running.
After seeing the helmet, Delano was itching and decided to scan it first, transmit his head characteristics to the relevant units, and quickly make one for himself. But after the scan, of course he remembered the game again and went back to take a look. , empty, no one left.
These people went too far. They agreed to wait for him to compete, but unexpectedly they all ran away! What's so important about eating, and when can't you eat? Who will fly tomorrow?
"Didn't you give up the game and go scan your head features?" Qin Tao rolled his eyes at Delano: "We thought you didn't want to compete anymore, so we came over to eat. I also planned to say hello to you after the meal. Let me join the team and build the first batch of helmets for the Air Force."
Delano was immediately discouraged: "Yeah, Mr. Qin, you're right, I don't want to compete. That helmet, can you say hello to me now? Let me jump in. I'm the strongest in the navy." Pilots must be the first to get this helmet.”
In front of helmets and first flight, Delano directly chose helmets! This made Wu Shengli a little curious, but if he thought about it carefully, he could understand it.
After all, the plane that flew for the first time had to wear a brand new helmet. Delano couldn't fly without a helmet. Even if he won the competition, it would be useless. The Navy could still use these excuses to eliminate him. Qin Tao He also promised to greet him and jump in line, but of course he would choose to give up.
At this time, Delano’s mind was filled with that kind of advanced helmet, and he couldn’t think of anything else.
Lei Zi, who was sitting at the same table, had a smile on his face. Delano is very powerful and has superb skills, but after all, he has never flown the J-20 and cannot grasp the performance of the aircraft. Therefore, if Delano insists on flying If so, he was actually a little worried.
“However, you have to let me fly when you get to the aircraft carrier.” Delano made a new request.
The simulated takeoff and landing in the wasteland village will take a month or two, and he will not be able to fly on the aircraft carrier until there is no problem. By that time, Delano must have flown many times and has an advanced helmet. Of course he will fly on the aircraft carrier.
"Okay." Wu Shengli nodded. He really had to agree to this. After all, flying an aircraft carrier is different from land-based. How to choose a route requires repeated research. Delano is the most experienced pilot, so there is no problem in leaving it to him.
the next day.
At dawn, the all-black fighter plane was dragged up from the hangar and directly onto the runway of the electromagnetic catapult.
Countless people gathered around, with excitement on their faces. Although the Navy has long entered the era of stealth aircraft, the number of J-32s purchased has exceeded fifty. After all, it is only a medium-sized fighter. Now the J-20 is a carrier-based type. The emergence of the Navy has added another option to the navy's arsenal! This aircraft can perfectly replace the J-15!
Zhao Dangsheng has been in charge of this project, and of course he came here for the first flight today. While walking with Qin Tao, he said: "So, for a long time, the J-15 will inevitably appear on the Navy's aircraft carriers, but in the future , the J-15 is destined to be eliminated, so we are currently developing stealth pylons, and relevant units are also developing stealth-modified long-range attack missiles." In a long time, the third generation aircraft will not be eliminated. After being eliminated, fighter jets without stealth capabilities are still the main force in the weapons and equipment of various countries. Currently, non-stealth fighter jets are being continuously produced on the production lines of various countries.
However, replacing non-stealth aircraft with stealth aircraft is already a trend. In the future, non-stealth aircraft will gradually be eliminated, and aviation forces will sooner or later transition to the era of complete stealth aircraft.
At that point, the number of weapons carried will be reduced.
An aircraft like the J-15 has eleven weapon pylons and can carry a large number of weapons. It is very handy when performing long-range sea and land attack missions. However, it will not work if it is converted to a stealth aircraft with built-in pylons.
The J-20's belly bomb bay can carry six air-to-air missiles or two bombs. The side bomb bay can only carry short-range missiles, which is somewhat limited when performing ground strike missions.
At this time, you have to consider plug-ins.
Plug-ins will destroy stealth, but they can be compensated for by some means. For example, Qin Tao proposed a stealth weapon pod, but the pod is also complicated and is not as good as a stealth pylon and a missile with a stealth appearance.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, cruise missiles with stealth capabilities are the focus of the next development. Not only are they easier to carry for stealth aircraft, but they also help the cruise missiles not be discovered during the attack."
Stealth technology can be used in many aspects, not just aircraft, but also missiles. In the new three-on-three-defense strategy, the threat of cruise missiles has been further pointed out, and many weapons are aimed at cruise missiles. Although this thing is powerful, it flies slowly and cannot turn. It can be said that as long as it is discovered, it can be easily killed.
So, cruise missile research and development experts will think: What if the cruise missile can be invisible? Will it reduce the probability of being destroyed?
By transplanting the stealth technology from the aircraft, the shape is no longer round, but with fold lines. The air inlet is also hidden on the missile body, and no exposed openings can be seen. Through a series of designs, the stealth cruise missile becomes Out.
This thing is a perfect match for stealth aircraft. It can be hung on an external pylon without any problem, and it can only be hung outside. Except for bombers, it cannot be installed in the bomb bays of other aircraft.
The guys chatted and arrived at the take-off point. Leizi, wearing a new set of flying gear and a helmet, stood under the plane, checked around it, and then looked at the people approaching.
“Reporting to all leaders, the plane is ready to take off!”
"Okay, you can take off." Wu Shengli didn't have anything to say. After all, this was an ordinary takeoff, and it couldn't be more ordinary.
The J-20 has flown for hundreds of hours, and the Huangdi Village catapult carrier-based aircraft has made thousands of sorties, and is very mature.
"yes."
Delano's eyes were fixed on Lei Zi's flight helmet, which was full of envy. He watched Lei Zi thumping onto the plane. The ground crew came up to help check the locking condition of the canopy, and then moved away the ladder.
It is very complicated to design a built-in ramp for a stealth aircraft like the J-20. It is not like the Tomcat fighter that only needs to dig two holes on the side of the fuselage. In order to be stealthy, the nose is diamond-shaped and the bottom is retracted inward. The United States The ramp designed for my F35 fighter jet is telescopic, one by one, just like climbing a bamboo pole. It is more convenient to use the ramp directly.
The engine started, and the roar sounded in the base. Delano looked at the two engines at the tail, full of expectations. The weight was smaller than that of the J-15, and the engine thrust was greater than that of the J-15. This aircraft was absolutely powerful when flying. Many actions can be performed without using afterburners!
Everything was ready, and the catapult system began to charge energy. After a few seconds, the two commanders squatted down and pointed forward with their right hands.
Whoosh!
The J-20 jumped forward under the influence of the catapult and its own power.
The engine did not turn on the afterburner, and the J-20 slid on the catapult for about a hundred meters, then raised its nose and pulled up. Soon, the elevation angle exceeded 60 degrees, and it quickly climbed into the sky. If it was turned on With extra power, there will be no problem with vertical climb.
“Only heavy-duty aircraft are real fighters!” Delano sighed: “From now on, I will fly J-20 aircraft, and I don’t like anything else!”
A big reason why he came to Dongfang was because the U.S. Navy eliminated the Tomcat. Only Dongfang's Su-27 series aircraft were twin-engine heavy-duty aircraft. Later, stealth aircraft became available. He played with stealth aircraft for a while, and the twin-engine heavy-duty aircraft Stealth machines have always been a dream, and now, the dream is finally coming true!
The J-20 has both stealth capabilities and a heavy-duty aircraft. Only such an aircraft can realize his dream!
Watching the fighter planes roaring off, Delano was full of expectations. When his helmet arrived, and when he trained on the new flight simulator for a period of time, he would be able to fly this kind of aircraft himself!
Since it was just a take-off and landing training, after taking off, the fighter plane climbed to a few hundred meters and leveled off. Then, like usual training, it circled the airport and aimed at the simulated landing area.
Delano strode over and stood at the position of the landing officer behind the Fresnel light box, then picked up the microphone. Since he couldn't fly, he could be the landing officer.
Different aircraft have different characteristics. The most special one is the Tomcat. It sways every time it lands, which makes people feel frightened.
But that's just because the Tomcat fighter's rudder response is too far away from the twin engines. In fact, the Tomcat has a variable-sweep wing structure, so the low-altitude performance of this aircraft is quite good. After all, when the wings are spread out, Can specialize in low altitude and low speed.
But the canard layout is different. The canard layout aircraft uses a large delta wing with a small wingspan, poor takeoff and landing characteristics, and the response speed at low altitude and low speed is almost scum. Therefore, the canard layout There are very few carrier-based aircraft.
However, Easterners have their own tricks.
"We have used the integrated flying-fire thrust technology on the J-20, combined with the advanced fuselage layout, and its low-altitude and low-speed performance is the best among several current carrier-based aircraft." Zhao Dangsheng said: "Whether it is landing It can be easily handled by adjusting the attitude at the right time, or by making a go-around and landing a second time after not hooking the blocking rope accurately."
The shortcomings of the duck layout are not insurmountable, and Dongfang has solved this problem perfectly!
The J-20 is a master of aerodynamic technology. There are four types of vortices on its fuselage: nose vortex, canard vortex, large side vortex and main wing vortex. This complex airflow field combination ensures the vortex lift of the aircraft at any attitude and speed as much as possible, and can naturally cope with this situation. Those who mention the canard layout say that the canard layout cannot be invisible. The argument that the layout cannot be used as a carrier-based aircraft is old history.
In addition to the aerodynamic layout, another feature is the integration of flight and thrusters. The engine has evolved to a digital control system, which of course can be integrated with the flight control. For example, when the pilot pulls the control stick to prepare to climb, not only each The rudder surface will be adjusted accordingly, and the engine will automatically increase output power to meet the power needs of climbing.
Of course, this combination also means that the writing of flight control code is complicated. It is no exaggeration to say that the J-20 is the most difficult and longest model of flight control code writing among modern fighters.
Fortunately, the East has advanced electronic technology, and it can handle even complex program codes with ease.
The pilot only needs to hold the control stick firmly, and various control surfaces, including engine adjustments, are automatically controlled by the computer system. Even the entire landing process of the aircraft can be precisely controlled by the computer.
Delano said nothing but "OK" and kept saying "OK". The entire plane barely swayed at any large angle before it hit the landing area heavily!
咣!
The main landing gear landed heavily, and then continued to roll forward. The front wheel dropped, and the rear landing hook hooked the arresting cable. The whole process was completed in one go. Only the most elite aviation veterans can do it! Delano gave a thumbs up.
Full marks! This landing deserves full marks!
Everyone also flocked to the plane.
The whole canopy was opened, and Lei Zi got off the plane, with the same excitement on his face: "That's great, our J-20 takes off and lands on the aircraft carrier very easily, easier than other models!"
