The next step is to work on the machine.

Zhao Yi was still the same as before, strictly supervised every step of the work, he did not directly participate in it, but just supervised, watched, and directed from time to time.

But with Zhao Yi directing, the others felt much more relaxed. They all felt that they were not worried about problems, otherwise they would definitely be pointed out by Zhao Yi, and if they asked Zhao Yi, they would definitely get an answer.

Among Liu Jiankun's group, some people chose to leave when they heard "three days".

Some stayed.

Among those who stayed, there were many representatives of the military, who came to see the Warhawk aircraft, and they hoped to see progress in the research and development of the Warhawk aircraft.

Every day I stay now, I seem to be able to see the progress, so I just stay here and see the first-hand news with my own eyes.

The senior leaders of the Air Force are very concerned about the research and development of the Warhawk aircraft, as if they can't wait to install a few Warhawk aircraft.

This sounds a little unrealistic, and it also represents the Air Force's leadership's expectations for the Warhawk-1.

……

Zhao Yi's grasp of the time is still very accurate. It took exactly three days for the engine to be put on the machine, and the electronic equipment was docked and debugged halfway.

three days later.

The Warhawk aircraft was pulled to the outer runway by the tractor, ready to officially start the ignition test.

Although the name of the test is 'fire', in reality, the engine is fired to propel the aircraft on the runway.

The ignition test does not make the plane fly, but just let the plane run for a while to see if there is any problem with normal startup.

At the very beginning, the engine was ignited, and the control console issued an ignition command. The aircraft was still imprisoned, which was equivalent to testing the aircraft's fuselage's ability to withstand thrust.

"Fire test!"

"Countdown, 10, 9, 8..."

"...2, 1, start!"

The commander at the console called out the start, the engine made a sound immediately, and then the sound gradually became louder, flames spewed out from the rear of the plane, and the surrounding area was filled with roaring sound.

The 'ignition test' went on for 3 minutes, just run the engines at minimum power, checked that the aircraft's electronics were ok, and it was over.

Next is to run the tests.

At this time, the fixed frame of the plane was removed, and the pilot went up. The pilot in charge of the test was Zhai Licheng, who was doing the engine test.

At that time, Zhao Yi told Zhai Licheng that he was still allowed to come for the Warhawk aircraft test. When the Aviation Group was considering the Warhawk test, Zhai Licheng was directly appointed.

As a test pilot of the top fighter jet, Zhai Licheng is a little bit older. In fact, a better choice is a pilot in his early thirties, with a relatively better body, better endurance and response.

However, it is just an ordinary test now, and it does not require the aircraft to take off at high speed, perform supersonic tests, or do difficult maneuvers. The pilot is older, but it does not have any effect.

Zhai Licheng was fully equipped and stood beside him. He was gearing up for a long time and couldn't wait.

The debugging speed of the Fighting Eagle-1 was too fast, and the aviation group was a little slow to react. Zhai Licheng only received half a month of training, and it was only carried out on the specially made training device.

Although Zhai Licheng is an old pilot with a lot of experience, the control of the Fighting Eagle-1 is different from other fighters. With the addition of an automatic control system, there are many differences in the control of the fighter.

It's like a driver who drives a bulky heavy truck and suddenly drives an advanced sports car, he must get used to it first.

Zhai Licheng was obviously a little excited, he wanted to suppress the feelings in his heart, but he still couldn't help but feel relieved, the others quickly cheered him up and let him calm down.

At this time, Zhai Licheng was thinking, in front of him was the most advanced fighter jet, he became a test pilot and was the first to board the plane, it was definitely a great honor and very memorable.

Unfortunately, no photos can be taken.

This is a bit of a pity.

Zhao Yi also walked up to Zhai Licheng. He didn't encourage or do anything else, but talked to Zhai Licheng about the operation problems, which were all related to the automatic control system, "You should pay attention when you operate, the automatic control system is very intelligent and will Airframe adjustments are automatically made according to the environment the aircraft is in, and in extreme cases, engine operation is also controlled.”

"If you are not very proficient, or encounter unexpected situations, it is best not to switch to manual control, otherwise it will become a bit complicated."

"..."

Zhao Yi continued to talk a lot, all related to the automatic control system.

The biggest difference between the operation of the Warhawk-1 aircraft and other fighter jets is the automatic control. Automatic control is not to control the flight of the aircraft, but to control the engine and fuselage, which may affect the normal operation of the pilot.

Zhai Licheng nodded again and again, focusing on the operation, and his excitement calmed down a lot.

Finally, the test is ready to begin.

Zhai Licheng also walked towards the fighter with firm steps.

Many people cheered for him, but the commander kept reminding him, "Be careful, don't operate too much, this time it's just a test run."

"Roger that!"

Commander's reminder is still very important.

Zhai Licheng has only done simple and basic training, and is not familiar with flight performance parameters, and excessive operations may cause problems.

Fortunately, it is only the first test. The start-up test does not need to let the plane fly, but just let the plane start up and operate normally, and accelerate to run for a certain distance, that's it.

The maximum speed of the test plan is only two hundred miles.

This speed can't even catch up with a high-speed sports car. On a huge and empty airport runway, the danger is still very small. Even if there is a problem, the podium can also control the signal to stop the engine forcibly.

Zhai Licheng walked into the cabin, he boarded the plane with ease, stood on the top and gave a military salute to this side, then sat in the cabin and closed the barrier above the cabin.

"Prepare!"

With a shout from the commander, the other external connection lines on the plane were removed, and the external electronic parameter monitoring equipment was connected.

"Light it up, get ready!"

At this time, it was the commander who communicated with Zhai Licheng. After confirming that everything was fine and ready to start, the preparation signal was issued immediately.

"10, 9, 8..."

"...2, 1!"

"start up!"

The voice fell.

There was a sound from the aircraft engine, and the sound quickly became louder. Then the aircraft moved autonomously for the first time, and slowly accelerated to run.

The commanders and testers in the distance constantly monitor the operating parameters of the aircraft. Everyone is very nervous and worried about any problems at any time.

Zhao Yi just watched the plane running. He didn't worry too much, but asked Liu Jiankun, "If all the data is normal, is it possible to conduct a test flight?"

"Let's take a look at this."

Liu Jiankun was also a little nervous. He didn't understand why Zhao Yi was so calm. He also hoped that there would be no problems with the plane. It would be best if there were no minor problems. After thinking about it, he said, "If all the data are normal, you can try try?"

He looked at the others as he spoke, as if seeking support.

Everyone else just listened.

In fact, everyone knows that it is a bit too early to test the flight directly. The next test must be carried out. Let the aircraft run a few times before conducting the test flight. After all, it is the most advanced fighter jet, and it is not easy to manufacture. The cost exceeded one billion RMB.

This cost is equivalent to that every part on the plane is made of gold.

If there is any problem in the middle, the loss will be too great, and time and cost will be wasted, and the result is unaffordable.

Zhao Yi was very indifferent, "If all the data is normal, why continue to test? The next test is also normal."

He does have confidence.

The system capability has already given the answer. He can't guarantee that there are no minor problems, but there must be no major problems. During the assembly process, all the problems that can be found have been repaired, and there is no point in continuing the test.

The plane was still speeding over the airport, its speed soaring to two hundred miles, the highest speed planned.

Zhai Licheng's operation is still very experienced, he also controlled the turn, and the speed is also very well controlled, ensuring that the aircraft will not have any problems due to the operation.

soon.

The 10 minute run test is over.

The plane returned to the original place, and the inspectors also reported various parameters. All the data were normal and basically consistent with the plan.

The commander did not issue an order, so Zhai Licheng continued to wait in the cabin.

At this time, Liu Jiankun listened to the normal parameters, turned his head and asked Zhao Yi, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Zhao Yi said, "I don't have any objections, it's good to progress faster, don't waste time for nothing."

Others looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.

Everyone hopes to see that it is a test flight directly instead of waiting slowly, but the direct test flight does not match the plan, and the speed is a bit too fast.

If something really went wrong in the flight test and caused any accidents, Zhao Yi probably wouldn't be affected, because his position is unshakable, and it doesn't matter if he takes responsibility, and others can't afford it.

Maybe……

When the superior leaders heard the news, they thought it was their problem, and the reasons were very good. "Academician Zhao is only in his 20s and has no experience. He doesn't understand and has no experience. You don't try to persuade him at the scene? Moreover, he also You don’t have the right to decide directly, it’s still your problem.”

"It's such a big accident, what a loss!"

Then, take responsibility.

Some people think about it deeply, and then they open their mouths to stop them. When they find that no one else speaks, they don't open their mouths.

Liu Jiankun found that everyone had no objections, so he simply gritted his teeth and said, "Just try it!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the commander immediately confirmed it, and then communicated with Zhai Licheng in the plane, and then confirmed the operation process, and then directly prepared for the test flight.

When the decision was made, everyone let go of their worries and began to look forward to it.

Warhawk-1 is the fighter project that has received the most attention, because it was very advanced in design. It was originally compared with the F-35, and its theoretical performance even surpassed that of the F-35.

The domestic J-20 is also very advanced, and the highest rating can be close to the fifth-generation aircraft, but the J-20 is a heavy fighter, and its combat and use are limited. A shortened version of -20.

The current Warhawk-1 is a real medium-sized fighter, lighter than the F-35, with the highest technology on it, and the first test flight is very important.

When the commander and Zhai Licheng finished communicating and were officially preparing for the test flight, many people's hearts were also raised. They even regretted that they hadn't objected just now. It was definitely better to be safe, but it would definitely be too late to stop it.

"It can only be this way!"

"I hope there will be no problems, any problems... In the end, I will come back immediately after flying around, and take off and land normally."

"Just don't make a big problem!"

at the same time.

Zhai Licheng in the cabin was also very excited. He didn't even think about getting on the plane and went straight to the test flight, feeling unprepared.

However, he still suppressed his excitement and his expression became firm.

"Can't make mistakes!"

"It will definitely succeed! Just follow the normal operation during training!"

"No problem, come on!"

"..."

Chapter 517 Perfect test flight!

"ignition!"

"Get moving, speed up, speed up, speed up!"

"Reaching the critical line of take-off speed..."

"look up!"

"Get up, take off!"

Zhai Licheng in the Zhanying-1 cabin had a very serious expression. He strictly followed the procedure and operated step by step.

The speed displayed on the operation panel reached the critical point of take-off, and he immediately controlled the plane to raise its head and ascend.

The moment the plane raised its head, there was a huge roar from the engine, and then the plane quickly plunged into the air.

"Woke up!"

Zhai Licheng took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued to take off calmly, that is, to increase the power to keep the plane going up.

From the ignition and acceleration of the plane, to raising the head and taking off, he experienced a lot in his heart, as if it had been a long time.

In fact, in the eyes of others, only a very short time passed, as if they just realized that the plane was ignited, and then turned their heads and took off.

The data inspector on the podium reported the takeoff distance and time.

"Report takeoff data!"

"The total take-off distance is 360 meters. It takes 350 seconds to accelerate to 11 kilometers."
