Great warships

The J-32 left the aircraft carrier lightly, then climbed up, because it was going to land after three turns, so Delano simply did not retract the landing gear, he started to turn according to the previous few times, and turned half a circle around the aircraft carrier , and then aimed at the tail of the aircraft carrier again, entering the glide line.

The atmosphere on the aircraft carrier became tense again.

Although the modification has been made after precise calculations, whether the modification is appropriate or not can only be known through the test of practice, and they are all sweating for Draenor.

Raising the height of the light box will bring about a more forward landing point. I hope the adjustment will not be overdone, otherwise the carrier-based aircraft may not be able to hook the blocking cable and will have to go around.

During the sea trial, there were many uncertain factors, but Delano didn't care about the danger. For him, this was the most exciting and interesting moment.

Like last time, Draenor landed very steadily, getting closer and closer, and a huge roar sounded. Wang Wei opened his eyes wide and looked at the fighter plane that was close at hand.

Boom!
The landing gear hit the runway heavily, the hydraulic cylinder went down tens of centimeters, the fighter plane continued to slide forward, the landing hook almost slid forward against the deck, and then firmly hooked the second arresting wire, and continued to move forward slide.

"Success, success!" Wang Wei became excited.

The modification is in place with only one adjustment, calculation and experience have played a big role!The landing hook stretched the arresting cable, jumped forward a long way, and finally stopped steadily.

The landing hook was released, and the arresting wire was slowly reset. As soon as Delano got down from the cockpit, he saw a large group of people surrounded below.

There were technicians, vests of various colors, and some sailors who were not supposed to be on the deck. Excited cries came from their mouths.

"Wild dog, you are amazing!"

"Long live!"

Draenor was lifted up by the big guy, and then thrown into the sky.

Delano's face was full of pride and pride, and when he was thrown up, he also yelled loudly: "Long live! Long live the Eastern Navy!"

Zhang Zhen and the others also came out of the island. Looking at this scene, they felt that Delano was already an absolutely reliable Eastern Navy carrier-based aircraft pilot!
Makarov's eyes were red, and he wiped his eyes with his sleeve. He had been looking forward to this day for too long. On this aircraft carrier, he seemed to see the shadow of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that had been dismantled into scrap metal. .

It is really a kind of luck to be able to come to the East, where his ideal has finally become a reality!
This day's test is of great significance. This aircraft carrier has completed the most critical carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing test. It is mature and reliable, and will become the most powerful sea steel Great Wall of the Eastern Navy!
In the evening, the aircraft carrier restaurant.

"Today is a moment worth celebrating. We are not allowed to drink while we are at sea, so now, we can only use juice instead of wine. Now, let me propose a toast to everyone! To Delano, the pilot who took off and landed on the aircraft carrier today, and to everyone on the deck. Staff, here’s to our sailors and shipyard technicians!” Zhang Zhen said: “Cheers to the strength of our navy!”

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses.

Delano's face was full of pride: "Actually, I should also fly the J-[-]'s landing tomorrow! I'll go back now, and I can return to Wasteland Village that night. I promise not to delay the landing test tomorrow morning!"

"No." Zhang Zhen immediately shook his head: "If you do this, you will never have a good rest. How can you have the energy to land on the ship tomorrow? What if there is an accident if you don't have enough energy? After eating, you go back to sleep. Tomorrow you will be the ship guidance officer."

Wang Wei nodded: "Yes, the captain is right."

"Draenor, you want to take all the credit for yourself. It's a good idea." Qin Tao teased from the side.

So everyone laughed, and the whole restaurant was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Before the outfitting was completed, Qin Tao once ate in the cafeteria with Wu Shengli and others. At that time, they ate box lunches, but now, the big guys ate freshly cooked meals on the steaming aircraft carrier. Looking at the sumptuous dishes, Qin Tao also expressed emotion: "At the beginning, our 001 aircraft carrier directly trained two sets of personnel, which was of great benefit. If there were no cooks trained on the 001 aircraft carrier, we would never have made so many sumptuous dishes. The food is coming."

The aircraft carrier has a crew of three to four thousand at every turn. With so many people to eat, the cooks in the cafeteria must have a high level of cooking. Only after being tempered by the 001 aircraft carrier can they be competent for the 002 aircraft carrier.

"This is also thanks to the Mingzhou Group, which sent us a large amount of living supplies on the night after the outfitting was completed, otherwise we would have to eat dry food every day." Zhang Zhen said: "When we returned to the 001 aircraft carrier back then, , there is no fire to cook, and I have been living on dry food."

Zhang Zhen brought up the past again, and everyone was filled with emotion.

"Come, let's raise a toast to the bright future of the Navy! After the sea trial is over, we can go to our guest house for a big meal!" Qin Tao raised his glass: "We at Mingzhou Group are not short of this entertainment fee."

It was a very happy night. Although he drank drinks, Qin Tao fell asleep after returning to the cabin. When he woke up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.

"Zhengyang, why didn't you wake me up?" Qin Tao said with some complaints.

"Boss Qin, I called you twice, but you still haven't woken up, and there's nothing I can do about it." Xu Zhengyang said.

Called twice?

Qin Tao looked at Xu Zhengyang in surprise, and Xu Zhengyang continued: "You are sleeping, talking in your sleep, what about the Eastern Navy, take off! Use me for the first battle, use me to win or something. Mr. Qin, what dreams did you have last night? ?”

Qin Tao smiled embarrassingly: "I can't remember clearly, it should be a war. Our naval aircraft carrier won the world in one battle, and has since become the hegemony of the Pacific Ocean. Forget it, let's go to the island. Is J-[-] coming?" ?”

"It landed 10 minutes ago."

landed?I didn't catch up!Qin Tao was a little speechless: "Then is there any action today?"

"Yes, Air Police 600 is expected to arrive in 10 minutes. Hello, Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin!"

Qin Tao has already run out.

The landing of the J-600 was nothing to watch. After all, the J-002 was the first carrier-based aircraft of the Eastern Navy. The Eastern Navy has been operating it for many years and is very proficient.The Air Police [-] is different. This early warning aircraft is built for the [-] aircraft carrier and is mainly trained at land bases.

This time, Air Police 600 will finally land on the aircraft carrier of the motherland, and you must participate in this process!
When Qin Tao came to the island, he happened to see the Air Police 600 carrying a large plate passing over the deck of the aircraft carrier. Looking down from the island, the large plate was particularly clear.

"The first pass is normal!" Wang Wei's voice was full of excitement: "Prepare for the second pass, master the flight rules, and strive to land today!"

Unlike ordinary carrier-based fighter jets, the airflow during flight is complicated and difficult to operate because of the large plate on top of the early warning aircraft, so it is more difficult to land.

No matter how many times you train on land, you can't truly simulate the situation at sea. Today's landing must be thrilling.

"Should we use a transport plane without a large plate to test first?" Zhang Zhen said suddenly from the side.

The airframe platform of the Air Police 600 is specially developed. The Yak 44 plan was used as a reference during the development. Although it is called the Eagle Eye Sky, its size is larger than the Eagle Eye, making it naturally more difficult to operate.

At the same time, the country is still digging deep into the potential of the Air Police 600 airframe platform. The carrier-based fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft and the ship-borne fixed-wing transport aircraft all use the Air Police 600 airframe. Among them, the transport aircraft is the simplest and does not have a large plate. is simpler.

"Yeah, the test of the transport plane is easier, but the test of the transport plane can't find anything. After all, it feels exactly the same to fly with or without a large plate. The landing of the transport plane is fine, but it doesn't mean that the early warning plane is no problem. We still have to explore the early warning plane. landing." Wang Wei said: "Now, we have to trust our pilots, they have trained hundreds of takeoffs and landings in Huangdi Village, absolutely no problem."

The early warning aircraft has been built a long time ago. At the earliest time, it was just a shell without equipment installed. It was trained in Huangdi Village. It even carried out the flight test of ski jump takeoff. After installing the equipment, it was carried out again under the full condition With a large number of experiments, it can be said that the Air Police 600 has already laid the groundwork and is waiting for the final test.

"The weight of our early warning aircraft is not small?" Qin Tao asked.

"Yes, when it was first developed, our KJ-600 weighed 27 tons, which is larger than the maximum take-off weight of the American E-2C early warning aircraft, and the total weight reached 33 tons. Although it can be normal Take-off and landing, but after all, it is too heavy. Later, we used advanced domestic technology to improve the KJ-600, and the empty weight was reduced to 25 tons, and the total weight was reduced to 30 tons." Wang Wei introduced: "Now the landing weight under normal circumstances It is 27 tons, and it is still the carrier-based aircraft with the largest landing weight."

The greater the landing weight, the greater the risk when it falls, not to mention the mushroom plate on the back of the aircraft.

"However, fortunately, our engines are powerful, and the two engines are used for a huge power reserve. Even if the landing fails, there will be no problem in going around again." Wang Wei said.

For Eastern fighters, the engine is a difficulty.Without an engine, a fighter plane is like a castle in the air. In the past, the engine has been suffering for a long time, but now, the engine is finally no longer a problem, and Genghis Khan Aviation can solve many problems.

When the Air Police 600 was just developed, the engine used was an inventory obtained from Lao Maozi, but now Genghis Khan Aviation has been able to produce the D227 engine normally. This engine has been used in many aircrafts and has become a Qualified power.

Used on the Air Police 600, that is a big horse-drawn cart.

"Well, I look forward to our KJ-600 landing successfully in one go." Qin Tao said.

The roar sounded, and the AWACS simulated landing on the ship for the second time. With the experience of these two times, the pilot on the AWACS finally made a decision.

"Haipan reports, requesting landing!"

Hearing this call, Qin Tao was immediately curious. Now that the aviation training is moving closer to the west, they are starting to call code names, but the nickname of Haipanzi sounds really interesting.

"During the test flight in Huangdi Village, the big guy called it the sea plate." An officer introduced it to Qin Tao: "After all, this is our navy's plate. The big guy called it very kindly. Later, when the air called That's what it's called."

"Attention Haipanzi, follow the guidance of the landing officer. If you can't land, go around immediately." Wang Wei shouted on the radio.

The Air Police 600 entered the glide line accurately, and only the voice of the guidance officer remained on the radio. Delano spoke standard Oriental dialect, and there was no problem in communication.

However, the big guy was still sweating.

Compared with the steady descent of the plane in front, the Air Police 600 swayed a little bit, and it could catch up with the Tomcat fighter. There was no way, it was inconvenient to carry a large plate on the top, but it still landed firmly. Lower and lower, lower and lower, on the island of the ship, you can clearly look down on the early warning aircraft, and everyone holds their breath, watching Haipanzi board the ship.

Boom!
The main landing gear hit the deck, and the sea plate continued to slide on the inclined deck. The rear landing hook scraped towards the third arresting wire. Three arresting cables passed, followed by a fourth arresting cable...

Everyone opened their eyes wide and watched as Air Police 600 crossed the fourth arresting cable, but the arresting cable was not pulled apart like a bowstring. At this moment, the atmosphere was tense.

"Haipanzi, fully open the throttle and go around!" Wang Wei shouted loudly.

Black smoke was discharged from the tails of the engines on both sides, and the propellers on both sides immediately rotated at high speed.Like the MiG-29, because it does not use advanced combustion chambers, this engine will emit black smoke when the accelerator is suddenly increased. However, as the black smoke rises, the power suddenly explodes, and the Air Police 600 begins Accelerated on the inclined deck, faster and faster, faster and faster, when the distance from the front end was about 20 meters, the wheels left the deck.

The go-around was successful!

This thing depends on luck. If you are unlucky, you will actually land successfully, but you will not be able to catch the blocking wire.Therefore, when a normal land-based fighter plane lands, the throttle is closed, while a carrier-based aircraft is throttled up when it lands, ready to go around at any time.

Just now everyone was sweating, but without any accidents, the well-trained pilot easily operated the Air Police 600 to go around, and then the pilot's voice came from the radio.

"Haipanzi calls, requesting to land again!"

The scene just now made Qin Tao's heart beat faster. However, the voice of the pilot driving the Haipan remained calm. This was of course due to strict training. He was accustomed to such failed landings and then go-arounds.

"Haipanzi pay attention, you can land, pay attention to posture."

"Hai plate received."

The first failed landing did not affect the pilot's mood. After flying half a circle around the aircraft carrier, after turning to the back, he entered the glide line steadily again, this time seemed to be even more stable than last time.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, the big plate is right in front of you, and you can see that the plate is painted in two different colors, which looks particularly eye-catching.

The landing gear slammed into the deck again, and the landing hook continued to slide forward against the deck. This time, it successfully hooked the second arresting wire!

The arresting cable got longer and longer, and the speed of Air Police 600 became smaller and smaller, and finally, it stopped firmly on the inclined deck.

Successful landing!
"Go, go down and have a look!" Wang Wei said.

The third carrier-based fixed-wing aircraft has landed on the aircraft carrier!The J-32 and J-600 were parked in the parking area on the side of the ship island. With the help of the deck tractor, the KJ-[-] soon parked next to the two aircraft. The length of the fuselage is about the same as that of the two aircraft. However, it is relatively full. The engines on both sides are very large, and there are auxiliary air intakes on the top. Several support columns prop up the large plate, which is strong and powerful. The four vertical fins at the rear look a bit unique.

Since there are only three planes, ready to take off at any time, the deck parking area has relatively large space, so none of these planes have folded wings.

After the plane stopped, the cabin door opened and people came out.

Not only the pilots in front, but also the three people in flight suits and helmets in the back also came down!Looking at the people behind, Qin Tao was a little surprised: "This is the first time landing a ship is very dangerous, why did you come with me?"

"Because we want to form a combat capability as soon as possible, we have confidence in the aircraft, the pilots, and the aircraft carrier!" said one of them. She took off her helmet, showing her short hair, and she looked heroic.

"Captain Wang, do we still have female comrades in our carrier-based AWACS?" Qin Tao was very surprised.

"Why, Mr. Qin, do you look down on us lesbians?"

"Of course not. I also played a role in promoting the recruitment of female soldiers by the Navy. In the southern waters, I saw the female soldiers on the island guards and was very moved." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Zhengyang behind him: "I The secretary's wife is Nanhai Sunflower, how could I look down on lesbians?"

"Lesbians are conscientious and careful, and they are better than gays in many aspects. When we organized the carrier aviation early warning aircraft squadron, we conducted auditions. Comrade Xiang Jing was far ahead in various technical competitions, so she was selected as No. 60001 The crew members are the female crew members on board No.1, and they are also CICO."

Qin Tao couldn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"These are completely in accordance with the establishment of the U.S. Navy." Delano said: "The standard crew of this early warning aircraft has five people, including the pilot and co-pilot in the front, and the airborne early warning personnel in the back. The three of them have different divisions of labor. They are Radar Officer RO, Combat Control Officer CICO and Air Traffic Control Officer ACO. CICO is the mission commander of the entire aircraft during the mission and has the highest authority, except for takeoff and landing. ACO is responsible for air control and handles communication systems and satellite connections. The radar officer is the reserve air traffic control officer and the weapons officer on board. The three people serve as backup for each other. If one of them is unable to perform the task, the other personnel will take over."

Qin Tao racked his brains at the beginning to fool the retired American naval pilots, maintenance personnel, and deck vest personnel. He had a foresight. The carrier aviation of the Eastern Navy started from scratch and matured rapidly. It is inseparable from the experience of these people. At the same time, a large number of regulations are also based on the U.S. Navy. After all, they have been working on it for decades, and these systems are mature and reliable. There is no need for our own side to find a new way to explore from scratch and use it directly.

"That's right, it's true that women don't give way to men!" Qin Tao praised, and then looked at the two pilots. He knew these two people. They were the test pilots when Huangdi Village took the test flight.

"We meet again on the aircraft carrier, welcome!"
