Red Soviet Union

At this time, Sukhoi's ace test pilot, Victor Pugachev, was flying in the sky. He disconnected the fly-by-wire system and used manual operation. Only in this way could the aircraft enter the spiral state, otherwise, the fly-by-wire system would prevent the aircraft from entering this state!

At an altitude of 10,000, Pugachev calmly shouted in the radio: Experimental machine No. 03, request to enter the tail spin state.

You can enter.

Following the order, Pugachev started a series of preparations, first locking the accelerator, and fixing the accelerator in the idle state. The engine of this interceptor is not easy to serve, and it is easy to cause the engine to stop.

As the throttle entered the idle state, the plane began to slow down, and finally, the plane swayed from side to side as if drunk.

123 come on!. Pugachev yelled, then vigorously pushed the left rudder lever to the full and then pressed it to the right to the end. The huge fighter roared and swung a few times and quickly deflected to the left. The Su-37's tail spin came quickly and violently.

The clouds were spinning rapidly, and the plane descended sharply while spinning. Pugachev kept counting, watching the time and the number of turns of the spin.

Soon, it's time to change it! Pugachev kept his eyes on the dashboard and took all the data from the spin in his mind.

Any pilot must learn to recover from the spin, but they only need to fly according to the flight manual, while test pilots need to explore how to recover from the spin! Any pilot has a sense of fear of spins. If he does not have a good psychological quality, it is difficult to bear the huge psychological pressure in a spin.

As for Pugachev, the Su-27's tail spin that he has flown many times is the first to change the Su-27's tail spin. There is a big difference. Ordinary second-generation machines, as long as the brain is not dizzy, and the rod is pushed in the opposite direction to the end, the tail spin can be recovered. However, the aerodynamic layout of the new small wing load and high maneuverability is very difficult.

In the tail spin test flight of the MiG-23, many test pilots paid the price of blood and finally changed it! This is a new way, including anti-rudder, holding the pole, and pressing the pole.

At this time, the height is five thousand! Pugachev quickly followed the scheduled action to perform this tail spin change, but under the strong impact of the airflow, the plane showed no sign of slowing down the spin speed.

From the outside, Su-37 seems to have been intoxicated in the beautiful arc of the tail spin, and is unwilling to come out!

Disconnect the differential stabilizer limiter! shouted the flight test commander.

This is the last resort! Use the differential horizontal tail to help recover from the spin! Pugachev flipped the switch skillfully to disconnect the limit of the horizontal tail, and the horizontal tail deflected at an angle of almost 90 degrees, with the greatest control!

The plane finally reacted, and the speed of rotation slowed down rapidly, and the plane that turned to the tenth circle finally stopped spinning. Su-37 held high and flew level again!

The spin test flight was very successful, Simonov said. It's exactly what we imagined.

Just as imagined! Because the body of the Su-37 and the entire aerodynamic layout are completely similar to the Su-27, the flight control rate of the aircraft is very similar, which greatly reduces the difficulty of aircraft design! It can even be said that, in fact, the current Su-37 is not a new aircraft in the complete sense, it can be said to be a stealth modification of the Su-27.

The progress of the Mikoyan Design Bureau is slow because the MiG 1.44 is a brand new aircraft. The control of the canard layout is non-linear, and the programming of the telex system alone will consume a lot of time and energy!

The current spin test flight recovery is very similar to that of the Su-27. During the test flight, a lot of experience can be used for reference, which speeds up the speed even more.

The plane landed on the runway again, and after coming out of the cockpit, Pugachev saw Andrei at the front of the crowd waiting outside, and his face was immediately full of excitement.

Marshal Andrei, do you want to fly around? Pugachev took off his helmet and said to Andrei.

This is an approachable general,

Moreover, this general is also a great pilot! Pugachev still remembers that when he was flying the Su-27, Andrei once asked to fly a lap instead of him. At that time, General Andrei only flew on the simulator, and it turned out to be quite wonderful!

Now, General Andre is here to test the base, does he still want to have fun?

However, before Andrei could speak, Pugachev on the side spoke: This plane of ours has only fueled one flight sortie, and now we have to interpret the data of this test flight, so, Marshal Andre please be patient and wait until you have a chance to fly again.

What a joke! The last time Andre got on the Su-27, they all sweated a lot. This time, they couldn't let Andre get on the plane directly!

Fortunately, Andrei didn't plan to get on the plane directly. He was able to fly the Su-27 at the beginning because it was his old line of business and the model he was most familiar with. Now, although this plane has been improved, its aerodynamic characteristics are definitely There is a change, if there is a two-seater model, you can go up for a walk, but now the single-seater model, forget it.

Interpret the data. It seemed that he was afraid of Andre getting on the plane. Under Pugachev's order, many technicians surrounded him, opened the opening on the outer skin of the plane, and inserted the equipment.

Andre smiled, and didn't say anything about the actions of these people, and they also had good intentions.

A technician even opened the front radome. Andre was excited when he saw the shape of the exposed antenna. Behind the antenna, there is no need for hydraulic motors and universal joints. It is completely fixed, because, The radar beam flies out by changing the phase!

However, compared with later generations, each of these t/r components seems to be larger.

This is our advanced radar. Seeing Andre's interest, Simonov said: This radar has 800 transmitting and receiving units, which can converge all beams and scan to a distance of 200 kilometers. Spread the beam, track ten targets simultaneously, and attack two of them.

Eight hundred launch units! After all, the era has only advanced to the beginning of 84! In later generations, this kind of radar matured almost in the 21st century. At that time, the American apg77 radar had 2,200 transmitting units and powerful performance. But now, because the volume is still too large, only 800 units can be accommodated!

Although there are only 800 units, the performance is already quite strong, similar to the passive phased array radar of the MiG 31, but the power consumption is greatly reduced, and the volume and weight are reduced. This is already a mature product!

After reading the radar, Andre went up the gangway again and looked at the cockpit. Sure enough, most of the instruments in the cockpit were mechanical. Three clicks, but the most conspicuous position in the cockpit is still two LCD screens on the left and right. The screen size far exceeds the radar screen of a cathode ray tube.

In the cockpit, the second-generation liquid crystal display jointly developed by us and the island nation is applied. The radar on the right is the integrated display on the left, which can display various flight data, receive positioning signals, display digital maps, etc. .” Simonov introduced to Andrey.

He is quite satisfied with this cockpit. Due to the advancement of his own electronic technology, he can install a big screen on the fighter! The data displayed far exceeds the instruments, and it can make the pilot more concentrated, especially for later reading. These data can be stored.

Andre nodded: Yes, we have made rapid progress in the electronic system, but this is not enough. In the future, it is best for our fighters to have a large screen, so all mechanical instruments will be cancelled.

That's the cockpit of the f35 of later generations, it's extremely sci-fi, but it can definitely be realized!

Immediately, Simonov was stunned, Marshal Andrei, are you so confident? A mechanical instrument is not used, what if these electronic instruments fail?

Looking at Simonov's expression, Andre knew that people didn't believe him, and he didn't blame him. After all, the electronic technology of this era is not enough! Many technologies of later generations, in the eyes of the present, are already sci-fi.

After staying in the flight test academy for a long time, Andrei planned to return to the Ministry of National Defense, but in the car, Putin, the bodyguard and driver who came to pick him up, said to him while driving: Marshal Andrei, what you asked for Investigation, we have the results.
