Chapter 315 Meet the J-10 again
After Zheng Liangqun's report, the meeting lasted for about an hour and a half before ending.
As for the content of the second half, it is mainly about assigning specific tasks to different units, as well as the techniques that need to be focused on training recently.
Of course, no matter how tight the time is and the tasks are heavy, there is still no shortage of time in this afternoon.
There is nothing trivial about flight safety. It is a foolhardy act to ask a pilot who has just completed a long-distance transfer to drag his tired body to practice more.
Therefore, after all the contents of the meeting were over, a mobilization dinner was arranged, which could be regarded as allowing the different units and even the commanders and fighters of different services involved in this operation to get familiar with each other.
Nonetheless, after receiving such a large amount of information, everyone's focus is naturally on the upcoming task.
"I said, regardless of whether this mission design is successful or not, it sounds really encouraging..."
After the meeting, Zhao Yi, who picked up his flying helmet again, whispered to Wang Wei next to him,
"The incident of Hailang 97 was actually reported in the news a few days ago. I thought this time it would be the same as before, and the surface ships were asked to take the lead. We aviation forces could only watch..."
Such whispers did not escape the ears of Tang Yiping, the teacher not far away.
"Before...you thought we wanted to do it before?"
The latter turned around. Although his tone was still serious, the expression on his face still revealed his joy.
"The J-80s we equipped in the early 6s didn't have enough fuel to fly anywhere. Later, even if we changed to J-8s, they would just fly around the islands closest to Qiong Province. It's not like it is now. After one refueling in the air, the range can be counted up to 4500 kilometers... You guys have to work hard, refueling in the air is not easy, but to complete this mission, you must practice it in these two weeks!"
"Yes!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"..."
On the way to the cafeteria, Wang Wei applied to Tang Yiping, and then he and the other two pilots made a special detour to the hangar where the IL-78 and JH-7 were parked.
The former has been exposed to aircraft for more than 10 years since he joined flight school, but he has never seen a huge aircraft like the IL-78 before.
He raised his hand and touched the radar dome under the cockpit in front of him.
In order to retain the take-off and landing capabilities at frontline airports and in harsh weather conditions, the navigator cabin is still retained even on the latest model IL-76/78. Therefore, the radar on the nose of the aircraft is squeezed to a lower position and becomes a One of the classic features of this model of transport aircraft.
"It's so big..."
Zhao Yi, who was following Wang Wei, also sighed sincerely.
He even had to raise his head nearly 90° to see the aircraft's high vertical tail.
"I'm afraid this plane can refuel our entire brigade..."
Hearing these words, the ground staff wearing big green flower camouflage and carrying the blue rank of the Air Force laughed twice:
"This aircraft can refuel other aircraft with a maximum of 65 tons of fuel. A group of 12 aircraft... almost."
In most cases, aerial refueling cannot completely fill the fuel tank like it can on the ground, so an average of 5 tons of fuel per aircraft is definitely enough.
"It would be great if we built this plane ourselves..."
Wang Wei looked around at almost a platoon of ground staff who were climbing up and down to inspect and maintain the aircraft and said.
Zheng Liangqun's report also mentioned at the beginning that even if the paper performance of a completely domestically produced aircraft is lagging behind that of imported aircraft, it will still have certain advantages after comprehensively considering maintenance guarantees and dispatch rates.
After all, war is a process of attrition, and independent production means that there is no need to worry about being manipulated in the process.
"What's this?"
Another ground attendant who came over to drink water held up his hat and interjected:
"When I first joined the army, the aircraft I served was a C46. You may only see this kind of aircraft on TV now. One time I saw the nameplate of an aircraft and it turned out that it was produced in 1943. At that time, our aircraft maintenance department The captain told me that the plane flew over the hump route..."
Wang Wei and others turned their heads and saw a second-level sergeant carrying three thick canes.
This basically requires more than 20 years of military service.
Although no matter how high-ranking the non-commissioned officers are, they are still soldiers and need to accept the command of the commander in the command sequence. But now they are not even in the same military branch. Wang Wei and the others are very young, so there is naturally a lot less talk among them.
"Later, I was transferred to other units, and the aircraft type I was responsible for became the domestically produced Y-7, and then the Y-8, until I switched to the IL-76 in the first two years... During this time, almost twenty years passed. Years."
"So at this rate of development, I guess no matter what happens, our country should be able to build a transport aircraft similar to this one before we ground it..."
……
While the relevant forces of the Navy and Air Force were busy preparing to give the British a huge surprise, Chang Haonan, with the full assistance of everyone in the 611 Institute, has also entered into the development of the surge prediction system for the first version of the J-10 the end of.
Since it is impossible to temporarily modify the AL31FN engine, the current strategy can only be to reduce the fuel supply and intake distortion by closing the throttle and forcing leveling once a surge sign is detected, so as to avoid irreversible surge. vibration state.
It's not a complete version yet, but it's still usable.
Especially during the test flight, it is simply a life-saving charm.
More than half of the aircraft lost by China Aviation Industry during test flights were caused by engine surge.
Therefore, after completing the basic control logic, Chang Haonan's position was relocated from Beijing Hang University to Chengdu.
After all, it still needs to be integrated into the J-10 flight control.
So, a few months later, Chang Haonan once again saw the No. 132 prototype in the final assembly workshop of Factory 1001.
Compared to the last time we saw it, Unit 1001 is already in a fairly complete state.
However, because it has not yet reached the stage of flight testing, the aircraft still retains its original large area of silver-white structural color, which is somewhat different from the yellow leather coating commonly seen in the field.
"Xiao Yang, Xiao Chang."
Song Wencong, who had been stationed for a long time, stepped forward. From his bloodshot eyes and messy hair, it could be seen that he must have been spinning for a while.
After all, Deputy Chief Engineer Yang Wei, who was originally responsible for a considerable part of the on-site work, was kidnapped halfway by Chang Haonan, and the burden on his shoulders will naturally become heavier.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Song, for borrowing our Mr. Yang for such a long time."
Chang Haonan's greetings made everyone in the workshop chuckle.
"It's ok."
Song Wencong held Chang Haonan's hand and replied with a smile:
"We're not afraid that you want people or things. We were worried that you would forget Project No. 10..."
After a few words of chatting and laughing, everyone quickly returned to the topic:
"After the aircraft came off the assembly line, we have already conducted tests on the electrical and hydraulic systems. According to the schedule, the engine start test will be carried out next week. However, if you need it, you can also postpone it slightly. Project No. 10 is now For the Tianzi No. 1 project in the aviation industry, we would rather go slow than make mistakes."
"That's not necessary."
Chang Haonan shook his head and walked to the air intake of Unit 1001.
"The engine ground start test does not actually use the aircraft's own flight control, but is equivalent to plugging in a test computer, so it only needs to be written into the test program for the active control system. As for the integration with the flight control... is it possible? Mr. Yang will take the lead and be carried out simultaneously with our testing, so that it is safe and does not waste time."
Hearing this, the three heads of the 611 Institute, Song Wenchong, Xue Chishou and Yang Wei, looked at each other a few times.
"Well, since you are confident, Comrade Xiao Chang, then the testing process will be arranged as you said!"
