Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Northwest. A certain military base!

Early the next morning, all the experts and professors participating in the test arrived at the test site early, including Zhou Yang, Nie Nansun and others.

According to the test plan agreed at yesterday's meeting, they not only have to observe the whole test of "Air Police One" today, but also board the plane in groups.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to today's test.

After all, this is the first early warning aircraft researched in China, and everyone wants to see how it performs and whether it can fill the gap in the field of early warning aircraft in China.

As soon as they arrived at the military airport, everyone saw a huge fighter plane parked on the runway of the airport.

After seeing this fighter, everyone couldn't help exclaiming: It's so big and beautiful!

I saw that this fighter plane is more than 30 meters long, with a wingspan of more than 40 meters. The paint is also new, and it looks very beautiful.

The Il-14m and the later Yun-5 that everyone saw yesterday are like little brothers in front of this plane.

Nie Nansun whispered in Zhou Yang's ear: "This picture is a 4 bomber fighter. Our AWACS is modified with this kind of fighter. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me!"

Zhou Yang nodded but did not speak. Although he had no contact with the AWACS project before coming here in this life, Zhou Yang participated in the research and development project of the Air Police 2000 AWACS in his previous life.

Although he is only responsible for the radar part above, in the process of research, it is inevitable to learn the lessons of the failure of "KongJing-[-]" and sort out the reasons for its failure.

Therefore, Zhou Yang basically knew what Nie Nansun knew, but not necessarily what Nie Nansun knew.

Because of this, when Zhou Yang saw the modified fighter in front of him, he didn't have too many extra emotions except for a little kindness.

Soon, Yang Xi, the person in charge of the Sixth Academy of the R&D and design unit of Air Police One, and a group of technical backbones also came.

Today's test is very important, so after arriving at the scene, Yang Xi didn't exchange too many pleasantries with everyone, but directly asked people to check the test plane that was about to take off.

Half an hour later, engineers and ground crew reported that everything was normal.

Then three crew test pilots and experts invited to participate in the test took their positions and asked for instructions to take off.

Since the first thing to test is the stability of the aircraft, and Zhou Yang and others participated in the test of the radar function, so they did not take off immediately.

With all the personnel in place, Yang Xi agreed to take off the plane.

"Om..."

Following the command from the control tower, the test pilot of "Air Police One" on the runway started the engine, the plane accelerated on the runway, and then soared into the sky.

At the moment when the plane flew into the sky, there was warm applause at the scene!

At this time, all the R&D personnel of the aircraft, including Yang Xi, were very nervous. In the previous test, they found that the aircraft often deviated during take-off, and the pilots tried their best to control the aircraft, which caused Yangko to twist along the center line of the runway. Roll the same way for takeoff and landing.

There is also a tendency to yaw and roll during flight after lift-off, and the pilot must always push the rudder hard during the flight for several hours.

Later, after testing, they found that after the engine power was increased, the yaw moment caused by the side wash of the propeller hitting the vertical tail was caused.

In addition, there is another very serious problem. Because the radome located in front of the vertical tail is thick and has blunt edges, the airflow behind the radome will separate during flight and cause turbulence, which will vibrate when it acts on the vertical tail.

Chatter not only tends to fatigue the aircrew, it also tends to fatigue the structure.

Beginning in September 1972, the design team began to eliminate chatter.After trial and error, these difficulties were finally overcome at present.

Although they have conducted countless experiments and tests on the performance of the fighter plane before, no one knows whether the plane will lose the chain at critical times.

While everyone was waiting nervously on the ground, the voice of the test pilot came from the tower's loudspeaker: "Tower... Tower, flying altitude 8000, speed 580, the plane has no yaw, no trembling, everything is normal... .”

After hearing the crew's report, all the researchers in Institute 703 stood up excitedly and clapped wildly. The atmosphere at the scene was very warm.

However, Zhou Yang on the side looked indifferent, neither applauded nor enthusiastic, and he was a little out of tune with the excited people around him!

He is very clear that the smooth operation of the aircraft is only the most basic function of the early warning aircraft. If it keeps shaking, how should the staff on it operate the radar system? Isn't that ridiculous!

Therefore, the smooth take-off and stable operation of the plane does not mean anything, let alone the success of "King Jing No. [-]".

In fact, no one knows the ending of "Air Police One" better than the current Zhou Yang!

The research and development of this fighter plane lasted ten years and ended in failure, so the cheers now are meaningless.

Seeing Zhou Yang's expression and expression, Nie Nansun on the side immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "Everyone is applauding, why don't you react?"

Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "Why do you applaud? It's because the pilot said the plane was operating normally. Is it necessary?"

"do not have it?"

"It makes no sense to me!"

Hearing Zhou Yang's blunt words, not only Nie Nansun was a little confused, but an old man with white beard and hair beside him also looked at Zhou Yang in surprise.

"Old Nie, who is this little comrade?"

Nie Nansun hurriedly said: "Old Huang, let me introduce you, this is Zhou Yang, a genius in our radar field!"

Huang Lao immediately stretched out his hand to Zhou Yang and said, "Hello, young man, I am Huang Yaolou, the chief designer of Air Police No. [-]!"

After hearing the old man's self-introduction, Zhou Yang felt very embarrassed, as if he was being caught for speaking ill.

"Old Huang, I'm really sorry, I just..."

Before Zhou Yang could finish speaking, Huang Yaolou interrupted him, and said: "We took great pains to invite the big guys here, just to let you criticize, as long as what you say is reasonable, don't be embarrassed! "

"And I also agree with what Comrade Zhou Yang said just now. It's really not worth the excitement just to fly smoothly. After all, we are testing an early warning aircraft. It should fly smoothly without mechanical failure!"

Nie Nansun smiled and said, "You still have a heart!"

"Don't have a heart, let's discuss the matter!"

Then Mr. Huang looked at Zhou Yang again, and said, "Comrade Zhou Yang, you seem to have some research on aircraft. What do you think of our early warning aircraft?"

This question stopped Zhou Yang from asking, to be honest, it was not appropriate.

It's too easy to offend people. He's not the kind of tough guy. When people say they want you to comment, you criticize them to pieces. Even if what you say makes sense, they will feel very uncomfortable.

What's more, what is facing right now is a large-scale military equipment that has been developed for seven or eight years. I don't know how many people have condensed their efforts. If you really want to speak according to Zhou Yang's true inner thoughts, Zhou Yang is afraid that these people will come up to beat him up.

But if Zhou Yang were to tell lies against his heart and brag about how advanced this fighter was, he couldn't say it out loud.

After all, "Air Police One" was all flaws in his eyes, and he really couldn't convince himself to praise it!

For a while, Zhou Yang opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't say a word!
