Chapter 225 First Test Flight

April 12

The Mayan calendar ushered in a new year, which triggered an upsurge of mysterious legends about the Maya, and the Maya once again entered people's sight.

Many young couples spend this day on the big bed in the hotel. If it is really as the Mayans predicted, they will taste the forbidden fruit before they die, knowing the beauty of the joy of men and women.

Many young couples find a lawn or at the seaside, embrace each other, and die together if they want to die. They promise three lives and three generations, and promise each other that "there is no mountain, and the heaven and the earth are united, so you dare to break with the king!"

This night, I don't know how many boys have become men, and how many girls have become women!
But one night passed, and nothing happened. I don't know how many men were very proud, and I don't know how many women regretted it.

However, Qin Yuanqing left the capital and went to AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group Corporation.

Because on this day, it will be the first test flight of the J20B equipped with the Everest aeroengine, and the previous test flight was successfully named J20A.

This test flight, the military attached great importance to it. Many leaders came to the test flight site in person. Looking at the aircraft, which was half or half imagined to be similar to the American F22, like a twin brother, Qin Yuanqing felt strange. If the American F[-] Will people vomit blood when they see this plane?
Today's weather conditions are very good, very suitable for test flight.

The side of the J20B's nose has the number 01, which is very eye-catching.Beside the plane, five people had their hands behind their backs, with serious expressions.

Qin Yuanqing and others are on the rostrum, waiting for the test flight. Yang Wei, as the chief designer, is introducing the test pilot to everyone.

The test pilots who can be selected as J20 are all ace pilots. They are all selected from thousands of people and have very rich experience. It can be said that every test pilot is a precious asset of the country. To cultivate a Excellent test pilots need to invest a lot of resources.

"The weather conditions meet the requirements, you can test the flight!" In the control tower, the weather conditions are being reported.

The flight conditions are very limited by the weather conditions. Once the weather conditions are not met, the test flight cannot be carried out, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

And the test pilot who was selected for this time began to wear anti-G suits and was about to start wearing helmets!

And a leader laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go to the airport together!"

"Report, preparations are complete, ready to fly at any time!" The test pilot gave a military salute to everyone.

Yang Wei introduced: "This test pilot is called Li Gang. He has rich experience in flight testing and is a special test pilot for the J20. This time he is still selected for the test flight."

Qin Yuanqing looked at the five test pilots. These five are ace pilots. They all know that test pilots are an extremely dangerous profession, and there is always the possibility of sacrifice, but they have advanced fighters for the sake of the motherland. He didn't hesitate at all, even if it was sacrificed because of it.

Huaxia's air force has been able to develop and grow step by step. There are many blood and tears in it, and countless people are not afraid of sacrifice in exchange for it.

The leader speaks.

Li Gang gave a military salute to the leader and said: "Don't worry, leader, even if I, Li Gang, break my arms and legs, I will fly the plane back! Even if it falls, I will also fall on the runway! I will definitely let us know the hard work of so many years." Work hard, what went wrong!"

Hearing Li Gang's words, many people's eye circles immediately became wet!This is completely determined to say goodbye to life and death, but Li Gang is very calm and did not write any suicide note. How many people can possess this kind of fearless spirit?

Although it has been tested many times on the ground, it has not yet flown, so any situation will happen. For example, if the ground test is good, after flying, when it is time to pull the lever, the aircraft will not move at all. At that time, the plane was completely uncontrollable.

Even in previous test flights, some test pilots flew the plane, but the engine dropped, and then the plane crashed and died!
After Li Gang gave a military salute to everyone, he started to walk towards the plane, lowered his head and passed through the nose part to conduct a routine inspection of the plane.

This is what any pilot would do. Although the ground handling has been done, before boarding the plane, they must check it again.

Just like the pilots in the past, the parachute must be folded by yourself, because the person who really needs to use it is yourself, and you must not worry about letting others fold it.

There are many inspection items. According to the usual practice, Li Gang starts from the front landing gear, checks the air pressure of the tires, whether there is any hydraulic oil leakage from the front wheel struts, whether the wires inside are worn out or leaking oil, and then check the air intake. Is it normal. . . . .

When on the ground, the rudder surfaces are fixed by fixed wedges. Before taking off, these need to be removed. In order to be conspicuous, they are all marked in red. Li Gang went around to check the various devices, and then That is, the tail of the aircraft looks at the pelvic fins, the tail nozzle, the parachute, and the rudder.

After checking it once, reverse the direction, and check it a second time. After checking everything, Li Gang signed the book handed over by the ground staff, and took the helmet over.

Then Li Gang climbed up the gangway, followed by the ground crew, who helped fasten the seat belts and checked the airtightness of the canopy. When the canopy was fastened and the gangway was removed, everyone's hearts rose.

"01 report, the system has started up and everything is normal!"

"Check again!"

"01 understands, the inspection is complete, everything is normal!"

"Get ready, drive!"

After the command system issued an instruction, the engine started. With the sound of the motor, the whistling of the turbine gradually became sharper. After 1 minute, the engine started to run stably, and the engine started successfully!
But no one applauded, because everyone knew that this was just the beginning!
The flight test evaluation of an aero-engine is first of all to fly the aircraft, which is the most important thing, and then to test the performance and indicators of the aero-engine in flight.

Qin Yuanqing's expression became serious at this time, because there are many uncertainties in the aero-engine installed on the plane. Once there is a problem in any link, there may be very serious consequences.

Although this is also a J20 fighter, it is very different from the J20 fighter that was successfully tested before, so it is the first test flight rather than a test.

Listening to the sound of the engine, Qin Yuanqing watched intently as the plane slid out of the apron and onto the runway. Qin Yuanqing could only hope that any problems would appear quickly at this stage, otherwise, once the plane took off and reappeared, it would be so dangerous It has increased by 10 times. If it is serious, the plane will crash and people will die, and there will be no chance of saving.

The plane taxied forward quickly. The J20B fighter is a heavy-duty fighter jet with 15 tons in the air. It is reasonable to say that it is equipped with two Mount Everest aero engines, allowing it to take off in a short distance. However, the test pilot was very cautious and took off after taxiing for a certain distance.

I saw the J20B fighter, like a raptor, rushing towards the sky!This is its first flight.

On the ground, Qin Yuanqing and others looked at the J20B fighter jet flying into the sky, but they did not relax at all, because as long as the plane did not land safely, it meant that there might be risks at any time.

Everyone was waiting at the airport, waiting for the plane to return and land safely. No one left alone, and no one spoke. As for the command tower, there was constant communication with the test pilots. Judging from the current feedback, everything was fine. very smooth.

When the J20B fighter flew back, it did not land directly, but made an application, that is, to fly again!And the leader agreed.

And the crowd burst into applause, cheers, and everyone was jumping and jumping excitedly here. Everyone on the rostrum, seeing the plane coming again, couldn't help but get excited, almost Everyone is wiping their eyes.

After all, this is a fighter developed by Huaxia itself, and the test flight went so smoothly!
Although everyone didn't fly the plane in person, they could feel the powerful power of the plane's aero-engine and the powerful roar that made people's blood boil.

The plane began to descend, then landed safely, and began to land steadily at the end of the runway. The whole airport burst into applause. Everyone was like sea water, running to the end of the runway. Everyone was full of excitement and enthusiasm. Excited.

The tractor drove over, ready to tow the plane back, and the gangway was also set up. When the canopy was opened, when everyone saw Li Gang, everyone couldn't help applauding and applauding to welcome this hero.

It was also the first time for Qin Yuanqing to watch the test flight of a fighter plane in person, and he also felt the same feeling, the same excitement, and the same pride.

Aviation engines have always been the heart disease of the Huaxia Air Force, which has plagued Huaxia. A heart attack may occur at any time, and it will be fatal.

But now, for the first time, the Mount Everest aeroengine is mounted on a fighter plane, and the test flight is so smooth and successful, which almost means that Huaxia's heart disease has been completely solved.

Although he knows that a flight test is nothing, the whole test flight process is a long process, which needs to test all aspects, such as the highest flight altitude, maximum flight speed, longest flight distance, short take-off and landing. . . . . .

It even includes a series of tests such as maximum speed duration, combat radius test, etc. The previous J-20 took six years from the successful test flight to the completion of the test. If it were not for the changes in the international situation, China would need an advanced fighter. Maybe it will extend the test flight test time and delay the mass production time.

It is the F22, and the whole test process is also very long, and even the life, maintenance life and various indicators of the F119 aero-engine are obtained from this.

Therefore, this year's first test flight is not the end, on the contrary, it is a brand new starting point, and it still needs to complete a lot of test flights. Problems, such as the problem of the anti-G suit, such as the avionics system and a series of problems.
