The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

This is exactly how Chang Haonan arranged for the J-8C to appear after coordinating with the exhibition party.

Just like the J-2016 at the 20 air show, it did not land at Xiangzhou Airport before the air show, nor did it make any announcement. Instead, it waited until the opening ceremony was over and flew directly over to start the performance!

After the performance, the plane will land on the runway of Xiangzhou Airport, and then, under the eyes of tens of thousands of spectators, will be transferred from the runway area by a tractor to the space reserved in advance in the exhibition area.

For the air show organizers, such an unusual appearance is definitely a big test.

But it was definitely a highlight!

Therefore, after careful consideration and consultation with Xiangzhou's superiors, Zhan finally agreed to this seemingly crazy plan.

……

Under the control of Fu Guoxiang, the No. 04 prototype flew over Xiangzhou Airport at a speed of slightly over 250km/h.

This is a very slow speed for a second-generation aircraft, so the slightly harsh scream of the turbojet engine lasted for a long time before gradually fading away.

But to the audience, the sound was so beautiful!

"I seem to have seen... a J-8C on the side of the plane just now?"

There were people nearby who were unsure of what they were seeing.

Mainly, no one expected that the so-called "new aircraft" would appear in front of everyone in such a way.

"The J-8C should be an aircraft produced under the August rd Project? After the Air Force's naming method was changed, letters instead of numbers were used to distinguish different sub-models."

"This aircraft can actually come to the exhibition? I remember that in the summer of this year, there was news from Haojing that a second-class accident had occurred. It should be the J-83 accident. It was only three months ago."

In this era where the threshold for obtaining information is relatively high, many people in the military fan community have some wild ideas.

Although there may not be channels to obtain completely true information, a lot of things can indeed be analyzed and inferred through some small traces.

Coupled with the fact that he spoke so eloquently, many people around him did believe him.

"What a fool? Is there still such a thing?"

"Then there won't be any problems with this plane, right?"

The person who just spoke instantly became the center of attention in a small area, which made him feel like he was being admired by the stars.

At this time, I have to say something else:

"I don't know. The previous second-class accident was said to be an engine failure. Let me tell you, this aviation engine is a long-standing problem for China..."

The young man holding the camera in his hand frowned slightly.

He was just looking up at the new plane that suddenly appeared. When he remembered to open the lens cover and lift the camera, he could only take a picture of the plane's anus, which made him a little unhappy.

Secondly, the half-full bottle of water next to him who kept chattering away made him feel a little noisy.

The man was still talking to the people around him:

"I'm not talking nonsense. When I copied the J-7, because my relationship with Lao Maozi broke down, I didn't get all the technical information. The copied turbojet 7 and the improved turbojet 13 had a lot of problems. Just two days ago. The thing is, Hainan Airlines in Qiong Province crashed two J-8Bs at once due to engine failure, which is definitely a high accident rate."

"The turbojet 8 on the J-14C borrows a lot of the design of the turbojet 13, and it feels... not very reliable."

What he said was so mysterious that it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false.

Many people know about the accident at Lingshui Airport a few days ago, but not many details have been leaked out, so being fooled by him, coupled with the embellishing of the news by the people around him, is like the airplane that just performed. It really looks like it could crash at any time...

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The young man finally couldn't bear it anymore and retorted loudly to those around him:

"Don't you all watch the news? A week ago, the Xinwen Broadcast broadcast a special feature on Institute 601. There were many test flight scenes in it, indicating that the problem with this aircraft should have been solved by that time."

"Are you...Teacher Xi Boyang?"

What he didn't expect was that someone in the crowd recognized his identity.

"I have read your works and interviews in Aviation Knowledge Magazine."

Apparently, this is one of his fans.

In fact, although Xi Boyang is only a college student who has not yet graduated, he has been contributing articles to major military magazines for two or three years thanks to his good photography skills and, of course, the equipment and travel support provided by the factory director's father.

Many classic photography works were created by him.

The other party was so directly slapped in the face that he naturally lost face, but just when he was about to open his mouth to refute, the familiar roar sounded again.

Everyone's eyes looked to the sky again.

That J-8C is back.

Obviously, the low-altitude pass just now was just the appetizer, and now is the main meal.

The aircraft performed a crisp 450° roll flight almost directly above the runway of Xiangzhou Airport, and then connected to an extremely tight small-radius circle in a horizontal space. The smooth flight attracted bursts of cheers from the audience on the ground. .

Since the large delta-wing aircraft itself has a small moment of inertia, and the flap part that provides the rolling moment has been specially redesigned by Chang Haonan, the improved J-8C has a huge improvement in roll rate.

As for the stability of the aircraft, it is related to the thrust-to-weight ratio and lift coefficient, and it has also benefited a lot from the two major changes in the past few months.

Although this is still a relatively weak part of the performance, for the air show audience, the scene that just happened was already very shocking.

People at the scene have more or less seen the J-6 of the aerobatic team perform similar actions, but the size of the J-8C is almost three times the size of the former, and it is naturally not at the same level in terms of momentum.

And someone like Xi Boyang, who is a little more professional, can even see some clues while pressing the shutter frantically at the sky.

Taking advantage of the slight reduction in engine noise, he excitedly analyzed the people around him:

"Look, this plane didn't even lose altitude when doing this set of maneuvers, which shows that the power level is quite good!"

"I've seen the old J-8 fly before, and it didn't roll so fast at all, and it also lost altitude very badly when circling. After half a circle, it had to change to level flight and climb."

In this era of paper media, Xi Boyang's name appears frequently in major military magazines, and he is still relatively well-known. In addition, the flight performance just confirmed this judgment, so more and more people began to believe his statement.

As for the other person who was still talking nonsense before, when the J-8C just flew back, he had already disappeared into the crowd.
