Chapter 927

Are you sure?

Tu Lang was also asking himself, he was not sure in his heart.

“Tu Lang, what’s the matter with you? Hurry up and prepare, it’s about to take off.” Although the other pilots didn’t wait to see Tu Lang, because he was fooling around and didn’t obey orders, causing the whole team to be criticized.

But now for Tu Lang, I have to take it.

Whether it is psychological quality or operational skills, Tu Lang is definitely the best.

Cobra maneuver, this kind of maneuver has not yet appeared in the world. The superior department said that this maneuver is likely to be named after Tu Lang.

It is the dream of all pilots to create a super maneuver that the whole world has learned.

Many pilots, let alone creating complex maneuvers, can’t do some maneuvers. On the one hand, it is because of insufficient fighter performance, and on the other hand, it is a matter of experience.

“It’s still early, it will take off before ten o’clock, and it’s less than eight o’clock now…” Tu Lang chatted with the other pilots for a while, and checked the fighters as an excuse. He went to the tarmac where they were parked and looked at the fighters. The silver-gray painting involuntarily lit another cigarette.

Except that he was nervous on the first day of flying solo, he hasn’t experienced such nervousness for so many years.

Flying close to the ground seems very simple, but few people dare to fly like this, which is extremely difficult, and in order to demonstrate the ground-to-air performance of the fighter, it must fly at a lower speed.

Just flying will not make Tu Lang so simple.

The crux of the problem is that it must also face up, fly backwards, and make various maneuvers at a height of ten meters above the ground to demonstrate the low-altitude and low-speed performance of the fighter.

The main selling point of the F-16 is its ground-to-air mobility.

Now, in order for Xie Kai to sell junk fighters like Super-7A to the United States, they must make them slap them in the face where they want the Americans to show them to the Chinese military.

“It should be no problem. I would not brag if I knew it a long time ago. This habit must be changed!” Looking at the fighter, the cigarette butt in his hand burned his fingers, and Tu Lang didn’t feel it.

Xie Kai knew that Tu Lang was under pressure now, but he couldn’t help it.

Just a Cobra maneuver is really not enough.

“Old Zheng, who are the Americans here this time?” On the way to Nanyuan Airport, Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng, “Their fighter plane is now parked at Nanyuan Airport?”

“Secretary of Defense Cappers brought a bunch of US military personnel. We don’t know the details, and there is no need to know them. Anyway, we don’t have many opportunities to cooperate with them.” Zheng Yucheng also has no bottom in his heart.

If Tu Lang does not perform well in front of the Americans, it will be very difficult for people to accept the consequences.

Maneuvering with a cobra is enough to save face for China’s aviation manufacturing industry.

“Our minister will not be with you?” Xie Kai has been dealing with the military for so long, and has never seen General Zhang, the Minister of Defense.

“You must be with you. Not only General Zhang, but also the Commander of the Air Force will be together…” Zheng Yucheng said, “That’s why we have to be more cautious. If something goes wrong, the consequences…”

Even Zheng Yucheng, who has always been fearless and fearless, is worried.

Xie Kai really didn’t expect that the Secretary of Defense would have to come and see it.

Commander of the Air Force, just take a look!

“General Zhang is so busy, what is he coming to see?” Xie Kai was a little speechless.

The Secretary of Defense is busy all day, so why watch the excitement?



Xie Kai didn’t expect the Minister of Defense to see it, but once Tu Lang staged a close-to-ground maneuvering flight and something went wrong, General Zhang would lose his face.

He knows the face of the Americans better than anyone else. He really failed. He can imagine the Americans’ success in front of his country’s Secretary of Defense.

“The U.S. Secretary of Defense took the initiative to invite. Besides, this is also an opportunity to see the performance of their Air Force fighters. Can the Secretary of Defense be absent?” How could Wang Guilin not understand Xie Kai’s thoughts. “If you are not sure about that, I told Tu Lang not to do it.”

“Don’t worry, I told him, I won’t do it if I’m not sure.” Xie Kai really explained that.

Nanyuan Airport is still a military airport.

It’s just that there are not many fighters in it, which is considered a backup airport. The 404’s Yunshi often stops at Nanyuan Airport, which is very familiar to this side.

When the group came over, it was still very early.

The security force at the airport has obviously increased a lot.

After passing the inspection, the 212 jeep of Xie Kai and his party went directly to the terminal building inside the airport.

The time for the American Thunderbirds flight team’s performance is set at 9:45, and the performance time is 15 minutes.

At that time, it was almost

It is less than half past eight, Xie Kai and the others came so early, in fact, to see the F-16.

It’s not that Xie Kai wants to see it, but Huo Haiyuan. They want to see the F-16, an advanced fighter that has a global reputation.

In China, there is no chance to see this stuff at all.

Even in foreign countries, it is difficult to see.

The last time I was in Pakistan to watch the American F-16, the result caused a fight between Lao Maozi and the Americans. I don’t know how the Pakistani side resolved it in the end.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

From a long distance, Xie Kai saw the F-16 neatly parked on the airport apron, the nose of which was red, white and blue with a red mouth.

The fuselage is mainly white, and the blue-painted wing part is not visible, while the white tail wing with red edges has 13 blue stars on each side, and it flies like a bird.

The tail nozzles of the fighter planes were folded together, and basically nothing could be seen. There were no weapons mounted under the wings, and there was nothing to behold.

Not far in front of the fighter plane, there was a group of people around, but who else was it not Huo Haiyuan?

“Domestic fighter plane designers are all here?” The old designers who saw the group of people blocked at least ten meters from the fighter plane tiptoed towards the F-16s parked not far in front of the terminal building. , Xie Kai almost cried when her nose was sore.

“This kind of opportunity is rare.” Wang Guilin nodded.

Xie Kai didn’t say much, and walked over quickly.



He didn’t want to watch the F-16, because he knew that this thing in front of him was just a piece of rubbish.

But domestic fighter designers don’t know.

They didn’t even know that this was just a J79 turbojet engine, and they didn’t even know that it was garbage in the garbage, something no one wanted.

“Mr. Huo, what are you looking for!” Xie Kai didn’t know the experts from other aircraft design institutes. He watched these big guys stretch their necks and wanted to see the F-16 not far away. He was still thinking about it. , If the Americans come to a missile and hit here, the development of Chinese fighter jets will be at least another ten years behind.

Because Xie Kai saw that even Mr. Song, who was responsible for the No. 10 project in 611, was in the crowd.

“Mr. Song, just look at the aerodynamic layout of this thing. The avionics system and the fire control radar inside can’t be seen at all. It’s a waste of time.” Seeing Mr. Song turning around to look at himself, Xie Kai said with heartburn. To.

President Song gave a wry smile. Before speaking, he heard a rough voice next to him with a weird tone: “Please keep your distance!”

Xie Kai turned his head and saw that a captain wearing a U.S. military uniform was pushing Huo Haiyuan with a stern expression on his face. He suddenly became angry. How dare you bully the 404 Chief of Fighter?

He stepped forward and pushed the American captain away, and asked coldly, “What are you doing? In our Chinese territory, I thought it was your America?”

The captain was about to get angry, but was stopped by a major behind him.



“Sir, please don’t exceed the warning line!” the major said calmly, “this is China, we know very well, but as an invitation to show our advanced fighters to your country, should you have the corresponding respect?”

Although the other party’s words were calm, the ridicule on his face was not hidden at all.

There was even a mockery of China’s military industry.

“Invited? Who invited you? You are trying to sell garbage that can’t be sold…” Xie Kai’s disdain also showed up, “Do you think we Chinese are all fools? This unsellable F- 1679, really thought we would want it?”

Xie Kai is not at all polite.

Anyway, he didn’t care about the attitude of the other party at all.

It’s just heartbreaking for these major domestic aviation companies.

“Garbage? Do you have such garbage?” The captain next to him said with a sneer.

As soon as this was said, the faces of all the big guys around became ugly.

“Are you telling me, where is our fighter plane rubbish? We will cancel the flight show without giving the reason today.” The major looked at Xie Kai and his face became cold.

Mr. Song looked at Xie Kai and frowned.

Young people want to fight for the country, they are understandable, everyone’s mind is like this.

But this can’t be solved by gambling.

I was about to step forward to ask Xie Kai to apologize, but I heard Xie Kai point to the F-16 next to him and say, “This is not an F-16AB or other standard models, but GM came up with it to cater to your country’s President Carter’s prohibition of exporting F- F1679 with 16 standard fighter policy, right?”

The major looked at Xie Kai, squinting his eyes, “Why is this rubbish?”

“How rubbish? You know better. Just because this is much worse than the F-16 performance, the world has not received any orders!”

“No order represents rubbish?” The major was angry.

Xie Kai saw that the surrounding giants were looking at him, and wanted to listen, so he didn’t sell it off, “The F-16 equipped with the J79 turbojet engine is no longer an F-16 at all, it’s just a borrowed one. Fame is nothing. Turbojet and turbofan engines don’t need me to analyze the pros and cons for you, right?”

At this time, Xie Kai didn’t care about the other party’s thoughts and attitudes at all.

The major’s face turned blue and white. “Turbojet is more suitable for you. At present, all of your fighters use turbojet engines…”

His discrimination is a little weak.

The technical experts next to them finally knew why the Americans had not allowed them to approach.

“A turbojet engine has a high fuel consumption and a low thrust ratio. Everyone knows. You have replaced the F-16 F100 turbofan engine with a J79 turbojet engine. You know how much the total thrust has dropped. You know better than anyone. In addition, in order to reduce performance, GM Add a ton of heat reduction cover around the rear engine…”

“That’s to reduce the infrared characteristics!” the major growled.

He didn’t know at all, how did the Chinese technicians who didn’t understand their fighter planes know this.

“Reduce infrared characteristics? Avant-garde air defense missiles, you know? Come on, let’s try it to see if our avant-garde can catch up?” Xie Kai saw the opponent anxiously, but Xie Kai’s heart became more calm.

The Chinese technicians didn’t know, they thought it was a real F-16.

Yankees are losing themselves.

“Not only is the thrust insufficient, you also deliberately reduce the allocation…How good can it be in low-altitude maneuverability? What is it not rubbish?” Xie Kai continued.

“Indeed, if it is a turbojet engine, even if the US technology is much higher than ours, the thrust is really not enough for a fighter such as the F-16 that has added more than a ton of weight…”

“Our F-8II has to use two engines, and the ammunition capacity and range are not enough…”

“This thing, what else to watch?”

Seeing the expressions on American faces, a bunch of technical experts couldn’t help but begin to discuss.

They are all experts in the aviation field, and they are very familiar with engines and so on.

“Although it is a turbojet engine, its performance at high altitude and high speed is much stronger than that of the F-16.” The major was anxious.

Obviously, he can understand Chinese.

“Haha… High-altitude high-speed? Are we short of high-altitude high-speed fighters?” Xie Kai sneered again, “The F-16 is designed to be a daytime fighter! The selling point is also the ability to fight in the air! Because of your garbage reduction design In general, the high-thrust turbofan engine is replaced with a turbojet engine. Generally speaking, the range is shortened, the dead time is lost, and the energy characteristics are even more shrunk, and they do not even have the ability to fight in the air! What is it that is not rubbish?”

Everybody understands.

According to Xie Kai, this is indeed rubbish.

If the J-8II is replaced with a domestic engine, the combat performance of the F-1679 provided by the Americans is even not as good as that of the domestic fighter.

No wonder high-levels don’t want it.

“You are slander!” The colonel next to him was anxious to do it.

“Defilement? Don’t you want to perform today? I heard that the Thunderbirds’ best-selling two-aircraft fly in formation, with the smallest radius circling, the 4-aircraft diamond formation rolls synchronously, and the 4-aircraft column turns into a diamond formation. 5 machine blossoms upwards and so on. Come on, let us see and see today!”

There is absolutely no problem with the F-16, especially the Thunderbirds aerobatic team has been replaced with high-performance F-16 in 1982, and various difficult maneuvers are handy in flying.

“Yes, use difficult movements to make us open our eyes.” Huo Haiyuan never said a word.

Although the performance of the RD-33 engine is not particularly good, it is also a turbojet engine with an afterburner.

The major’s face turned pale.

Originally, in their air show plan, there was no such top project of the Thunderbirds team at all. Instead, they just made a formation flight for the Chinese to see, and a few more stand-alone maneuvers would make up for 15 minutes of performance time.

But now, the other party proposed this…

“What happened?” At this moment, several senior officials from China and the United States walked over, accompanied by their entourage.
