Rule department scholar

suddenly.

A senior officer of the Air Force shouted at the top of his voice, "Liu Jiankun, the normal process is to arrange a test flight on the plane after approval, right? How can the research and development team submit an application and bring a large group of people to inspect it?"

"You don't trust Academician Zhao, do you?"

"I don't believe in the Eagles either!"

"That's why you brought us here together. I was surprised, why didn't you have a plan before, so you let me come here to have a look..."

"You guys have too many eyes!"

After the senior officer of the Air Force finished speaking, everyone around looked at Liu Jiankun.

Liu Jiankun suddenly felt embarrassed, and he immediately defended, "I misunderstood, I misunderstood, I have true trust in Academician Zhao, and I give absolute and 100% support for research and development."

"This time I really came here to take a look. The test flight should also be arranged, right? I brought Director Zhao from the testing department, and Zhai Licheng."

Liu Jiankun pulled someone over and introduced, "Zhai Licheng is a very experienced test pilot with more than [-] hours of flying time. This time, Zhai Licheng is in charge of the test flight of the Fighting Eagle Type [-] engine."

"Fighter, I have already thought about it, just the improved J-8B, and we have our test aircraft at Yangzhen Airport."

He explained a lot in a row.

At this time, Zhai Licheng suddenly asked in doubt, "Mr. Liu, didn't you say that you just asked me to come here to have a look, understand the parameters, and make preparations in advance. How did it become a direct flight test?"

Liu Jiankun gritted his teeth and shouted, "I want you to take a look. If the situation is good, I will go to heaven!"

Chapter 485 Successful flight test!

Liu Jiankun was so embarrassed that he was in a hurry.

The others stopped teasing, but snickering from a distance was indispensable. They knew that the Air Force leader was right. Liu Jiankun must have played tricks. He couldn't find an excuse to come and see in person, so he found a big A bunch of people said to visit and investigate.

Most people can understand Liu Jiankun. The work efficiency of the Warhawk team is unbelievably high, and the Warhawk-[-] engine project has attracted much attention.

Liu Jiankun is the general manager of the aviation group, and he must be more concerned than others, worried about what problems may arise in the middle.

If you miss this topic, you will enter the issue of test flight.

In fact, from the perspective of the leadership, the test flight is not a big deal. It is just to try the engine on the plane. Even if there is any problem in the middle, because the fighters in the test flight are all twin-engined, and one engine does not work, there will be no danger.

Of course, the testing department still needs to pay attention.

Liu Jiankun asked Zhai Licheng, a professional flight test pilot, to come over, just to let him know the parameters of the Fighting Eagle [-] engine, so that he can be prepared if he understands the parameters.

The director of the test department came over to record and talk to the Warhawk team about the problem with the engine.

The installation of the engine on the fighter is not a simple installation. At the same time, a corresponding control system must be installed on the fighter, and the fighter must be adjusted accordingly so that the engine can be easily controlled.

This is all preparation for the test flight.

Of course.

The Warhawk team just shared the parameters and systems, and the rest is the work of the testing department, and their more important thing is to improve the engine.

Now Liu Jiankun came here just to see with his own eyes whether the Zhanying-[-] engine had met the flight test standards, because the Zhanying team applied for the test flight too fast and reported the work progress too fast, he really couldn't believe it.

Liu Jiankun didn't care about being 'seen through', he immediately proposed to see the engine running, "Start it once, let us all take a look."

Others are looking forward to it too.

Zhao Yi directly refused, "It can't start now, the spindle is being improved, and the manufacturer said it won't work in a short time, so we can only change it ourselves."

"Estimated to wait two days."

"If you want to see the running test, let's wait two days later, wait for the spindle to be changed and installed."

As he spoke, he yelled to the side, "Captain Yuan, come here."

Yuan Haitao ran over quickly.

Zhao Yi asked, "How long will it take for the spindle?"

"Half a day is enough." Yuan Haitao said, "I just asked, there is still something to be welded at the front end, and the blades can be installed after it is completed."

"Ah."

Zhao Yi nodded, and said to Liu Jiankun, "It's a little faster than I expected. I guess it will have to wait until tomorrow night."

"Tomorrow evening……"

"It's a bit long. I didn't plan to come for two days. I thought I would leave in one day."

"Just wait a day, what's the big deal, I'll just live here and see how the engine is made."

Before Liu Jiankun could speak, several people had already started talking.

Some are too busy at work and definitely cannot wait a day, while others are relatively free and feel that it is okay to wait a day.

Liu Jiankun decided, "You can leave first because you are busy with work. I will stay here for a few days until..."

He said firmly, "Until, test flight!"

Everyone knows what it means.

Everyone felt that Liu Jiankun didn't trust the War Eagles, so he found a reason to come and see for himself. Maybe his distrust would disappoint the War Eagles?

The most important thing is Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi is the treasure of the aviation group. Liu Jiankun definitely hopes to restore his image, so he decided to 'do what he says'. He said it was for the test flight, so he simply waited until the test flight before leaving.

In fact, Zhao Yi didn't care at all, not because of his generosity, because he didn't need others' trust at all, and he didn't do research for others to see.

If you believe it, you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it.

What does it matter?

As long as the research and development funds can be provided in place, resources and personnel can be supported without affecting research and development.

It is also a good thing that Liu Jiankun brings a group of people. For example, a lot of leaders came over, so that everyone has the motivation to work. They all hope to perform better, and they will become more active.

Of course.

There is also pressure.

But relatively speaking, there is no pressure at all in the work of the Warhawk team, because their progress is unexpectedly fast, and they have not encountered any technical difficulties. It seems that there is no problem that cannot be solved. Everyone just does the work at hand, and there is no difficulty. Naturally there is no pressure.

……

a day.

Most of the Zhanying team devoted themselves to the assembly of the prototype, while Yuan Haitao led two technicians to communicate with the testing department about data and system issues.

Liu Jiankun and his team also participated in the assembly of the prototype, and several leaders simply helped the workers to lift some heavy equipment, equipment, and components.

Everyone is busy.

Zhao Yi rarely has a leisurely person, and the other one is Zhai Licheng.

Zhai Licheng just looked at the engine data, and then kept exclaiming, "This is too powerful!"

"Is this thrust real or fake?"

"Put this engine on the J-8B, I guess it can run over Mach [-], maybe even Mach [-]?"

Zhai Licheng was full of admiration. When he spoke, it seemed to be a bit exaggerated, but in fact it was not exaggerated at all. It was not that the data he said was exaggerated.

Pilots see engine performance parameters, and technicians react differently.

The first thing they think of is not 'real or fake' or 'how to achieve', but what will happen to the fighter with such an engine.

For example, top speed.

The top speed of a fighter jet can reach Mach [-]. Others sound like they are very powerful, but what the pilot considers is whether he can withstand such a high speed and acceleration.

Zhai Licheng is an experienced pilot. When he looked at the parameters of the engine, he came to a conclusion, "J-8B can't test this engine."

"Not enough performance, not enough weight!"

"If you use the highest acceleration, the fighter is not a big problem, but I..."

He shook his head and added, "The youngest pilot can't stand it."

Zhai Licheng said the truth.

Zhao Yi also understood what he meant, that is, the acceleration brought about by the high performance of the engine exceeded the limit of the human body. He said with a smile, "There is no need to test the highest performance, as long as the normal flight is enough, the normal test."

"This engine is aimed at medium-sized and above fighters. The improved version of J-8B is a light fighter, right?"

"Yes, Academician Zhao, you still understand!" Zhai Licheng nodded immediately.

Originally, Zhai Licheng felt ashamed after he finished speaking, and there were no professional pilots around, so maybe they didn't understand what he meant, but Zhao Yi helped him explain the problem.

The two also chatted.

Zhai Licheng was brought to the engine group by Liu Jiankun. He must be a very experienced pilot. He served as a pilot in the army for the first ten years. Later, when the aviation group needed it, he was transferred to the group to serve as a test pilot .

Now he is 39 years old, and he is approaching the age of retirement. It will be difficult for him to be on a fighter plane when he is older. He is considering finding a job in civil aviation after retirement.

Zhai Licheng can really say a lot when he talks about flying a fighter jet. For example, he has flown MiG, J-7, J-8, and some conventional trainer aircraft, and even the relatively advanced J-10. The aviation group is only doing test flight work, and the fighter planes on board are relatively low-grade.

"My biggest regret is that I haven't driven a more advanced fighter jet, such as the current J-20. I've only seen it from a distance. My colleague is younger, so he went up."

"However, let me say that his skills are far behind, that is, he is a little younger."

Zhai Licheng was full of regrets when he said that.

Zhao Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you are still working in the aviation group when the fighter plane we designed is tested, then I will let you be a test pilot."

"what?"

Zhai Licheng asked, "How about J-20?"

Zhao Yi pointed to the engine in the distance, "It's the supporting fighter."

Zhai Licheng looked at the prototype being assembled, his eyes lit up when he thought of the performance parameters of the prototype.

……

The prototype assembly work was faster than expected, and the assembly was completed the next afternoon.

A large group of people led by Liu Jiankun, including the people from the Warhawk team, stood on the second floor and watched, while the engineers below were preparing for ignition and running tests.

"It's about to start."

Zhao Yi was still standing in the middle, and when he saw the gesture of the engineer in the distance, he simply nodded, "Let's get started!"

"boom!"

When the engine was officially ignited and running, the operation room was immediately filled with bangs.

This test was basically the same as last time, and none of the participants could tell the difference, only Zhao Yi could tell the difference, and he noticed that the noise was a little smaller.

Although it is only a certain degree of decline, it also means that the inner workings of the engine are more coordinated.

The test was done quickly.

In the opinion of Liu Jiankun and his team, it is already a very good result if the engine did not stop midway and did not encounter any problems.

The performance of the people in the Warhawk group was very mediocre. They all experienced it once. There were no problems in the first test, and it was only natural that the second test went smoothly.

They care more about testing data.

Whether the various parts of the engine are coordinated, whether the performance of the engine is stable during operation, etc., can only know the specific situation of the engine through a series of data.

After the running test was over, Zhao Yi entertained Liu Jiankun and his party to the conference room, waiting for the engineers to collect the operating data, and also took it to Liu Jiankun and his party to explain the function of the data in advance.

What Zhao Yi didn't expect was that before the data was sent, Liu Jiankun said directly, "I'm sure this time, the Fighting Eagle [-] has reached the flight test standard."

"what?"

The others also nodded.

Liu Jiankun said, "I really didn't expect that (the engine) is running so stably, and then the data connection will be carried out directly, and I can prepare for the test flight."

"Ah... oh."

Zhao Yi nodded suspiciously.

In fact, Liu Jiankun's standard of "test flight" is much lower than that of Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi hoped to do his best to improve it, while Liu Jiankun thought that as long as the engine was running normally, he could conduct a test flight. He saw that the engine was running normally, and even did a test with the highest power, and there was no problem of stalling.

That's it.

Even if they only did this, in the eyes of Liu Jiankun and others, it is already very incredible, mainly because the time is too short.

It took almost two years for the Kunlun engine to reach this stage.
