Great Power Fighting Falcon

An airline's maintenance hangar is the farthest away from the parking area and is relatively independent. Not far away is a large construction site in the airport's second flight area. After the expansion is completed, the airport's annual throughput will reach 25 million passengers.

When Mo Yongan chose the hangar, he specifically chose the farthest hangar of an airline company with complete related support facilities. This is very beneficial to security and confidentiality, and it will not easily affect the normal operation of the airport.

But today it will definitely have a serious impact.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Gaoqi Airport must maintain the current suspended state before the Y-8 medium-sized transport aircraft carrying maintenance personnel and technical personnel and related ground support equipment lands.

There must be multiple flights canceled today.

At 7:20 in the morning, the Y-8 landed at Gaoqi Airport, directly in front of a maintenance hangar of an airline company on the taxiway. The ground staff waiting there, carefully selected by the airline company, swarmed up to assist the comrades in the army to remove the aircraft in the cabin. Remove the equipment. Those arriving on the same plane were Zhang Chongming's team, Niu Yaoyang's maintenance team, and Yi Xiaoyi's technical team. The team was led by Tang Guozheng, and Zhang Wei also came. Zhongnan Station was full of people.

J-16 No. 1616 must be repaired, otherwise it will have to be dismantled and shipped back.

Li Zhan and Chen Fei went over to greet them and found that it was a strange-looking Yun-8, a relatively new model with no navigator cabin on the nose. It is a small cabin under the cockpit with several windshields. The IL-76 also has it. The IL series aircraft seem to have similar features.

But it's not the Yun-9. Li Zhan remembers that the Yun-9 has not yet been mass-produced, and there are only a few prototypes for transport pilots in the west. Later, Li Zhan learned that it was a modified logistics aircraft specially used to carry aircraft ground support equipment and personnel. The air force has been exploring how to improve the efficiency of combat troops in transition operations.

Tang Guozheng strode over with everyone and greeted Li Zhan, and said loudly, "It seems very wise for the flight commander to choose you for a test flight. You have encountered more situations in one test flight than others in a year of flying. This It saves fuel.”

"It's just a bit expensive for the engine." Zhang Wei added with a smile.

Li Zhan argued, "The left engine is not broken. Really, I checked briefly and found that the fire did not affect the left engine. There shouldn't be any major problems. However, the internal damage to the tail rudder may be more serious."

The fact that the tail rudder returned to normal at the last moment does not mean that there is no problem. It is most likely that it is a flashback.

"You guys rest first and leave the rest to me." Tang Guozheng said.

Li Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't sleep. The hangar is borrowed from the local airline company, and there is also a team of ground crew outside. The local airline company also urgently sent a batch of equipment and aviation materials. I took a look. A lot of testing equipment is available, but there is no counterpart for aviation materials. The local comrades are so good that I can't give up."

"It's up to you. Where is Director Mo?" Tang Guozheng asked, "Old Mo turned out to be the commander of the 99th HNA Division. He was promoted to logistics a few years ago."

Chen Fei said in surprise, "Director Mo turns out to be the old chief."

Tang Guozheng chuckled, "Old Mo was an elite who dominated the sea and the air."

Chen Fei recalled that Mo Yongan, who wore an Air Force camouflage uniform and looked like a construction site cook, found it difficult to associate him with the "elite". It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

"Without further ado, the crew will introduce the situation." Tang Guozheng called everyone together for an on-site meeting in the open space next to the fighter plane.

Li Zhan pointed at Chen Fei and said, "Captain Chen, please introduce me."

"Yes!" Chen Fei started to introduce without being pretentious, "Before you arrived, I summarized the situation of this night flight. The current focus is on solving the problems of the fighter planes, so I will focus on this aspect."

Obviously, the matter of confrontation drills cannot be introduced here without any restraint. All that can be said revolves around the malfunction of the fighter aircraft itself.

Chen Fei's summary of the situation was organized, logical, and clear. He had put a lot of effort into it. Since they cannot play a big role in the flight process, these logistics summary must reflect their role. After all, compared to Li Zhan, Chen Fei believed that he had more experience in government work. He had been the chief of staff of a regiment.

The general situation had been reported before arriving. At this time, after Chen Fei's professional and targeted introduction to the fault situation, the maintenance team and technical team had a rough idea. To sum up, there is a problem with the two main components of the left engine and the tail rudder. According to the opinions given by the test flight crew, the left engine should have a rupture in the oil supply line and leakage of oil. The tail rudder failure is very likely. It was caused by a strong typhoon.

Several leaders have rich experience in emergency troubleshooting, not to mention that the manufacturer's technical team led by Yi Xiaoyi is also there. Except for the engine, which was not brought along, several other major components and aviation materials have arrived randomly, so from the current situation Judging from the situation, the current resources can basically repair the No. 1616 J-16 fighter.

Tang Guozheng has considerable experience in commanding such emergency repairs. He organized the personnel into groups in an orderly manner, quickly determined the maintenance project process, and clarified the tasks of each group.

Zhang Chongming said a few words to him and then walked over to Li Zhan and whispered, "Team Leader Li, before repairing, our technical analysis must first obtain first-hand data, including flying parameter data, etc. Same thing. , we need a detailed report from the crew, especially what happened after the fighter jet flew into the middle mountains."

Li Zhan understood and nodded slightly, "Yes! Chief, please rest assured!"

"Well, Team Leader Li, Xiao Gan is already waiting in the car. The superiors are in a hurry, so you can't rest for the time being." Zhang Chongming said with a smile.

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Yes, I'll be there right away."

Gan Tingting was already waiting on Cortes. As soon as Li Zhan got in the car, the driver immediately started driving and sent the two of them to the airport hotel. Mo Yongan had already booked a room, one each for Li Zhan and Chen Fei. Since it was temporary The inquiry place is also where they both rest.

The plane cannot be repaired in a few days, so Li Zhan and Chen Fei have to stay in the airport hotel during this period.

This time, Li Zhan didn't smile or make fun of Gan Tingting. He explained the situation of the night flight from beginning to end in detail. When the situation provided by the pilot is combined with flight parameter data, sensor data, etc., the overall situation will be clearer, and the technical analysis team will be able to obtain more and more comprehensive things.

It took more than three hours before it was over. After Li Zhan sent Gan Tingting to the door, he quickly took a shower, lay down and went to sleep at almost ten o'clock in the morning, and fell asleep in a few seconds. By this time, he had been working continuously for thirteen or four hours, especially the more than three hours of "question and answer" with Gan Tingting, which was quite exhausting.

The aviation maintenance hangar is very large and can accommodate an Airbus 330 for maintenance and even major operations such as engine replacement. After the J-16 entered the hangar, it still seemed empty, so they simply pulled the Y-8 logistics aircraft in. Niu Yaoyang's crew simply used the Y-8 logistics aircraft as a tool aircraft. Basically, any tools needed can be used on the aircraft. Found inside...

Li Zhan got up after only two hours of sleep. He felt much refreshed. He called Chen Fei's room, and sure enough, Chen Fei woke up too. Soon it will be twelve o'clock at noon, which is lunch time. Unless a soldier is too sick to wake up, he will never oversleep. Three things are important: eat, sleep and fight.

The Coaster has been waiting outside the hotel lobby. The hotel knew that this car was carrying troops, so they allowed the driver to park the car at the door for a long time. Passengers can get on the car directly without braving the rain outside. Go to the open parking lot.

Li Zhan and Chen Fei whispered something. After getting on the bus, they saw the driver holding a box lunch and eating. He immediately said embarrassedly, "Master, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

The driver was a middle-aged man. He quickly put down his lunch box and swallowed the food in his mouth. He said, "It's not hard, it's not hard, I should do it. In fact, I have also been a soldier, working in the army, tank division, and driving a 59 tank." "

"Old squad leader!" Li Zhan and Chen Fei stood at attention and saluted in awe.

The driver is in his forties. According to what he said, he either joined the army twenty years ago or he joined the army for more than ten years. At that time, people of Li Zhan's generation were still playing in the mud.

"No, no, I'm just an ordinary soldier. You guys are doing big things. Commanders, are you going to the hangar?" The driver was a little restrained, like a subordinate meeting his superior.

The subordinates will be whatever they see their superiors being, regardless of their age or military service.

But Li Zhan and Chen Fei didn't dare to put on airs and said quickly, "Old squad leader, please finish your meal first. Don't be in a hurry."

"It's okay, we'll eat again later." As the driver spoke, he started the car and drove away steadily.

Li Zhan and Chen Fei looked at each other and sighed, feeling inexplicably guilty in their hearts. In the eyes of many people, those who fly planes are the proud ones of heaven, and they are indeed the proud ones, worthy of such a description. However, this army is supported by countless unknown ordinary soldiers like driver masters. They should be revered.

To be honest, some of the glamorous appearance is supported by unknown big-headed soldiers.

Li Zhan had a lot of feelings in his heart. After staying in the army for a long time, he would inevitably have more or less resentments. Especially when he saw some bad phenomena during his contact with local society, he became more resentful and experienced various imbalances. It is so difficult to maintain a red color without deterioration due to the impact on values.

It is inevitable that there will be emotions such as "I am working hard to protect my family and my country, but you are demeaning yourself like this." In fact, there is nothing to complain about. I am so much happier than the driver. At least my material conditions are much better.

It was obvious that the driver had been waiting. He had been waiting while they were sleeping. This made Li Zhan feel very sorry, especially when he knew that the driver was a veteran who was almost one round older than them. Ashamed.

I haven’t done enough.

Putting away his distracting thoughts and bidding farewell to the driver politely, Li Zhan strode into the maintenance hangar. Chen Fei trotted to follow him and suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Hey, they all took off the left hair. This It’s efficient enough.”

In less than half a day, the engine was dismantled, and the efficiency was very high.

Li Zhan walked a few steps quickly and said, "Have a quick look. I hope there is no irreparable damage."

"It's hard to say, after all, you flew the plane." Chen Fei said.

Li Zhan glared, "Does the one I drive must be completely scrapped? Besides, the left engine is still good after landing."

"Make a bet?" Chen Fei said with a smile.

Li Zhan chuckled and said, "Revolutionary soldiers don't gamble."

When they arrived at the scene, the left engine was placed on the tarpaulin on the left wing side of the fighter plane. There was an engine frame on the tarpaulin. Yi Xiaoyi led several technicians around the engine to carefully inspect it. Niu Yaoyang's crew did not yet have the ability to repair the engine, so they set up a stand on the tail wing to inspect the tail rudder.

"Gong Yi, what's going on with the left engine? Is it just a rupture of the fuel supply pipe?" Li Zhan pointed at the engine and asked Yi Xiaoyi loudly before he arrived.

Yi Xiaoyi raised his head and said with a smile, "Yes, I just did a preliminary inspection and it is basically confirmed that the thrust is reduced due to the rupture of the fuel supply line."

Li Zhan pointed at Chen Fei and said, "Listen."

After saying that, he left Chen Fei and took a few steps to Yi Xiaoyi's side, saying, "You must be sure, I will make a turnaround this time."

"What do you mean?" Yi Xiaoyi was confused.

Li Zhan said with a smile, "They all say that if I fly a plane and encounter danger, the engine will definitely break down, so you have to use bloody facts to prove that this is a fallacy. It is not true."

"Team Li, you are indeed a bit tiresome. Even the three-year-old children in our factory's courtyard know you." Yi Xiaoyi said with a smile.

He met Li Zhan in Beiku, when Li Zhan was still the captain of the Falcon Brigade.

Li Zhan was very embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Why did the oil pipe rupture? Don't tell me that it was related to the tail rudder failure."

Before Yi Xiaoyi could speak, Niu Yaoyang, who was on the high shelf near the tail wing, wiped his hands with a rag and said, "Brother One, it's related to the tail rudder failure. The transmission device is deformed, and it's probably squeezed somewhere and scratched the oil pipe. We're going to prepare now." Remove the tail wing and inspect it.”

The pilot controls the horizontal wing rudder surface and vertical wing rudder surface through pedals. It uses a fly-by-wire system instead of a mechanical lever for transmission, but it still has a hydraulic system and a lever device. What is certain is that the tail rudder must have been stuck due to the influence of external factors, but the specific cause of the rupture of the pipeline supplying oil to the left engine requires in-depth investigation to draw a conclusion.

Li Zhan was slightly startled and said, "Isn't it going to be overhauled?"

The overhaul will be delayed for at least three to five months, and the actual flight test work will be seriously affected-the progress is already seriously lagging behind.

Yi Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be necessary. Let's look at the specific situation first. Maybe we don't need to go to war."

Li Zhan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Go ahead and do it quickly. I won't go anywhere and will stay to help."
