Great Power Fighting Falcon

As we all know, the wind in the eye of a typhoon is very light and the weather is clear, with a diameter of dozens of kilometers. The strongest wind in the typhoon circle is the cloud wall area where the eye wall extends outward for tens or even hundreds of kilometers. The wind force decreases from the inside out. This area is the area with the strongest winds and the worst weather in the typhoon circle. The rolling clouds rotate around the eye of the typhoon to form a cloud wall that is even more than 10,000 meters high.

According to the decrease in thrust of the left engine, Li Zhan quickly calculated that when the decelerating fighter aircraft reached the intersection, the outer edge of the typhoon's cloud wall area would also affect the intersection. Not exactly a point, but an airspace with a diameter of tens of kilometers.

The fighter plane will not stall. Even if the left engine is completely destroyed and there is still a right engine, it can still provide enough power for the fighter plane to keep flying. The problem is that the fighter plane will have no way to fly back and will keep turning left and circling, and then be stirred in the cloud wall area, with disastrous consequences.

Any mechanical failure in a prototype aircraft can be forgiven. There are differences between the same fighter aircraft produced by the same production line, let alone a fighter aircraft that has not yet been finalized.

To put it another way, it would be better for all problems to be exposed during the test flight phase rather than after delivery to the troops.

But the problem Li Zhan is facing now is not just the problem of the fighter plane itself, but the external objective threat caused by the failure of the fighter plane. Originally, he could have quickly left the threatening airspace before the typhoon cloud wall covered it.

Chen Fei was already making preparations before abandoning the plane. He organized all the information and put it in the pocket of his flight suit. Once the plane was abandoned, these top-secret information should be carried with him and completely destroyed if necessary. Li Zhan was also making preparations. It was impossible for him to stop the plane and inspect the left engine, so he could only prepare for the worst.

Instead, he was comparing the aeronautical charts to find the best crash location - under controllable circumstances, the pilot should try to choose the location most convenient for our military to carry out follow-up processing and abandon the plane, and ensure top-secret equipment such as the Identifier Friend or Foe. Totally destroyed.

This is over the high seas, with international shipping lines below, so corresponding measures must be taken.

Li Zhan had to put the right handpiece to the idle position and saw the airspeed drop to 280 kilometers per hour, which was almost the speed of takeoff. When the number on the airspeed indicator stopped falling, Li Zhan was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously, "Stabilize, stabilize, the speed has stabilized."

Chen Fei also noticed this positive change, and he said happily, "Can you try to increase the thrust? The fuel supply system should not have completely failed."

After realizing that there was a problem with the fuel supply to the left engine, Li Zhan reduced the fuel supply pressure to the left engine. This could prevent the fuel injected into the engine combustion chamber from surging due to incomplete combustion. The choice of details reflects the pilot's experience. Logically speaking, when the engine fuel supply pressure is found to be insufficient, you should try to increase the pressure, that is, the throttle is deeper, but in practice, doing so will usually lead to more serious accidents. disaster.

If the fuel supply is insufficient due to a rupture in the oil circuit, the increased fuel supply pressure will aggravate the situation, eventually causing the entire oil circuit to break or even cause an engine fire. Either consequence is more serious than insufficient fuel supply - the engine at least still has thrust when there is insufficient fuel supply.

It is precisely because of his rich experience in handling dangerous situations that Li Zhan was able to carry out the most timely and correct operation as soon as a problem occurred. The conversation with Fu Zhi was like taking a leisurely stroll, and it felt like a scratch or an accident. However, during the reporting process, Li Zhan had already completed the required manipulation actions.

The duty commander of Fuzhi looked at the red dot representing "Wuyi Mountain" on the radar screen flying westward at a speed of 280 kilometers per hour, while another screen displayed a real-time weather cloud map, a typhoon circle The edge has swept to "Wuyi Mountain".

The commander on duty called Li Zhan solemnly, "Wuyishan, you have entered the outer edge of the Cloud Wall Area. Pay attention to the changes in airflow. You are three hundred kilometers away from the coastline. Can you adjust the course to 360?"

360 degrees is true north.

Li Zhan replied, "I'm afraid it can't be done. My right engine can only maintain idle speed, and the plane can barely maintain its course. I can't move anything now. It's over."

"Be prepared to abandon the aircraft, do you understand?" The commander on duty received instructions from the flight controller's duty room and decisively issued clear instructions to "Wuyishan".

Li Zhan said, "We have prepared for the worst, it's over."

Fu Zhi immediately reported the situation to the military duty room. A few minutes later, the military duty room activated the emergency plan. The sea and air search and rescue forces received the order, and the maritime search and rescue team immediately began to move in the direction of "Wuyi Mountain". You must know that they are going to sail to the typhoon area despite the threat of typhoon, so that once "Wuyishan" abandons the plane, they can rescue the two pilots in the shortest possible time.

At this moment, a meteorological staff officer ran over and reported to the commander on duty: "Report! The local meteorological department issued a typhoon orange warning signal, and the name of the typhoon was also confirmed. It is called Sana, and it may affect the typhoon in the next twelve hours. In our southeast region, the central wind force is expected to reach level 15."

"I'm really afraid of what will happen." The commander on duty looked even more solemn.

A few hours ago, everything was not that bad. According to the cloud analysis at the time, it might even be a small typhoon of level 12 or 3. The wind will weaken after landing. It would be good to have gusts of level 10 or 11. Unexpectedly Such a big change in just a few hours.

However, this is a common occurrence for them who are stationed in the southeast region. Typhoons of level 14 and level 5 are at best considered strong typhoons. Winds without level 17 or level 18 are simply not enough for people in the southeast region to take seriously.

Judging from the positional relationship, Typhoon "Sana" is taking the path of "Wuyi Mountain". If the moving speed of Typhoon "Sana" is not only 50 kilometers per hour, "Wuyi Mountain" will definitely be in danger. Now "Wuyishan" still has an airspeed of at least more than 280 kilometers per hour, and its direction and heading have offset some, but it is always faster than "Sana".

However, this is already a threat to "Wuyi Mountain".

Li Zhan felt that the attitude of the fighter plane was becoming more and more out of control. The entire plane was shaking up and down, left and right, caused by the strong and chaotic airflow.

The most terrible thing is that the centripetal force is increasing - as if a big hand is grabbing the fighter plane and slowly dragging it into the eye of the wind.

Li Zhan couldn't help but said, "I entered the cloud wall area. The centripetal force is very strong. It doesn't look like a small typhoon at level 11 or 2. Fuzhi, has the weather report been updated? It's over."

The commander on duty here at Fuzhi was preparing to report the latest weather conditions. After hearing this, he immediately said, "Wuyi Mountain, the weather has changed a lot. Under the influence of strong convection, the typhoon has developed again. The local meteorological department has officially determined that this year's typhoon will Typhoon Signal No. 1, named Sana, has a central wind strength of level 15, so you must find a way to escape from the cloud wall area, over."

However, Li Zhan did not panic and asked again, "Has Sana's movement direction changed? Is there a more accurate prediction? I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see the coastline while flying like this. Over."

"There is no data in this regard for the time being. Be prepared to parachute at any time. The maritime search and rescue team has already set off." said the commander on duty.

"clear."

Li Zhan took a deep breath of oxygen and said, "I have to go down to three thousand meters."

The commander on duty was startled and said, "This way you won't have much leeway. Your current airspeed is only 280."

When the airspeed is insufficient, the more altitude you have to maintain, the farther you can glide even if the worst happens, and the closer you are to the coastline, the greater the chance of being rescued. Don't think that you can survive after parachuting. There is a vast sea three hundred kilometers away from the coastline. It's a dark and sloppy early morning. If you can't do it, you will feed the sharks.

"But the airflow at three thousand meters is relatively stable." Li Zhan said.

The situation in the airspace layer between 3,000 and 4,000 meters in the cloud wall area is relatively better, and the air flow is relatively stable and the crosswind force is relatively small. The most powerful thing is the upper and lower parts of the cloud wall area, where the airplane is like pork in a blender.

The commander on duty at Fu Zhi finally approved Li Zhan's request.
