Chapter 405 Why is it you again? ( per day, please vote monthly)

Almost everyone present naturally wanted to take a photo with the test pilot and the aircraft at this historic moment.

Just considering that Lei Qiang had just completed his first flight, even if his physical condition seemed to be normal, the post-flight inspection and test flight report still had to be completed, so after taking photos with some personnel including Song Wenchong, Yang Wei and Chang Haonan , he left the cockpit despite the strong request of the ground crew and stepped onto the ground again.

Almost at the same time, several handfuls of flowers from different individuals and units were delivered to Lei Qiang at almost the same time, so much so that he almost couldn't catch them.

Immediately afterwards, all kinds of questions filled my ears.

About the plane, about the first flight, about himself.

Lei Qiang could only distinguish a few familiar voices to answer:

"The aircraft is very comfortable to fly, and the pole position operation is generally intuitive..."

"You can't feel the light effect in the cockpit. It's daytime. We have to wait until the night flight..."

"The operating feel is generally light, and the response speed is very fast, especially the power, the putter has it!"

"..."

A minibus drove up from a distance, with a medical team already prepared sitting on it. They would conduct a complete physical examination on the test pilot to eliminate the last trace of hidden dangers.

Before getting on the bus, Lei Qiang shook hands and hugged several comrades who were responsible for key parts of Project 10.

When it was Chang Haonan's turn, he even patted him hard on the back.

Judging from the force used and the banging sound it made, he probably didn't shoot others because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand the blows because of his age.

"Comrade Haonan, your engine control system is absolutely as important to the pilot as the ejection seat!"

This is naturally a very high praise.

While speaking, familiar faces appeared in Lei Qiang's mind one after another, making him excited and a little sad at the same time.

Too many people didn't get to see this day.

Considering that there are still some necessary post-flight inspections and maintenance to be done after the plane lands, and it is neither decent nor safe for a large group of people to stay on the tarmac for a long time in a mess, so after taking the pilot off the plane, remove the necessary In addition to the ground crew and other technical staff, everyone quickly moved to the small auditorium of Factory 132 by car.

Chang Haonan has also ridden in Toyota Coaster, which is specially responsible for reception work in various units, several times before, but this is indeed the first time he has experienced this model that has been specially modified to transport VIPs.

In addition to the routine removal of the seats and replacing them with conference tables, the material and size of the seats are also much larger, similar to those in first-class airplanes.

The cab and passenger cabin are separated, and there are many screens, communication equipment and simple living facilities installed on the car.

It can't be said to be very magnificent, but overall it is closer to the cabin of a passenger aircraft that has been reduced by a few sizes.

On the way out of the airport, Chang Haonan looked through the side window of the minibus and saw many employees and family members of the 132 factory who had not been able to enter the infield to watch the first flight, staying on the roadside, some hugging each other, and some talking to each other. The team cheered, and some also wiped the corners of their eyes.

It took 1986 years from the project establishment in 11 to the successful first flight.

Although these people did not leave their names in the history books like Song Wenchong or Xue Chishou, they still devoted all their efforts to Project No. 10.

Everyone treats the plane as their own child.

"Comrade Wen Cong, after the first flight is successful, do you have any follow-up plans for the subsequent development of Project 10? I want to hear it."

The senior leader in the same car put down his hand to open the sunshade, turned around and asked Song Wencong, who was sitting in the row slightly behind.

The tone of the question is relaxed, sounding more like ordinary casual conversation than a formal leadership question.

Perhaps for this reason, Song Wenchong thought for a moment and said sincerely:

"Chief, this question should be answered by Comrade Yang Wei. He is the main person in charge of the follow-up research and development work of the J-10."

Obviously, this is creating opportunities for young people.

Song Wencong, born in 1930, is nearly 70 years old this year.

According to the original plan, he was ready to retire after completing the design of the J-7C. It was entirely because he couldn't let go of Project that he gave up his leisurely retirement life and worked hard on the front line until today.

But as he grew older, he did feel that his energy and concentration had declined significantly compared to when he was young.

Now that the J-10 has successfully made its first flight, he will at best escort the basic model until it is finalized and put into service. As for the subsequent longer-term development plan, there is no doubt that the baton will be handed over to the next generation.

In fact, the chief designer of the J-10 two-seater model that is already in the design stage is Yang Wei.

The world will eventually belong to young people.

Yang Wei, who was further back in the row, was suddenly stunned when he heard his name, and then noticed the encouraging look from Song Wenchong.

So he composed himself and answered:

"We currently have two prototypes in production, namely the No. 02 machine used for static testing and the No. 03 machine equipped with complete avionics and fire control equipment testing. About 40% of the test flight projects are composed of 01 and 03 Two first-stage prototypes will be used to complete it. According to the plan, the subsequent verification machines No. 04 and No. 06 will be upgraded in terms of overall design..."

"The two-seat trainer model is also developing simultaneously. The current planned name should be called J-10S. The overall design has basically come to an end. However, the prototype production work is still planned to be carried out after the single-seat model has basically stabilized..."

Yang Wei’s answer was relatively general and did not involve too many specific technical details and proper nouns——

If you introduce a technical concept that is relatively unfamiliar to everyone, you may need ten other technical concepts to explain it. This will be endless and will only make the entire answer lengthy and lacking focus.

But if you don't explain it, firstly, it will cause others to be confused, and secondly, it will make them look not very smart.

So this is basically the most effective way to deal with non-industry people.

However, the chief in front of me also had an engineering background, and he almost went to university to become a professor. Although he was not an aviation major, he knew everything about some things, and at least his understanding was definitely online.

"So the two prototypes of 01/03 will adopt different design solutions from other prototypes that will follow. Where are the upgrades specifically?"

Project No. 10 was a project that he personally decided to save. Now that it has finally achieved some landmark results, he is naturally very concerned about its subsequent development.

"We plan to use a boundary layer-free supersonic inlet, which is simply..."

Yang Wei racked his brains in the hope of describing the DSI air inlet in a relatively easy-to-understand language, but the leader in front of him had obviously done a lot of homework:

"Is it the one the Americans are going to use on the JSF project?"

This answer is indeed beyond everyone's expectations. You must know that the proliferation of consultations these days is not very developed, such as JSF projects and DSI air intakes. Let alone laymen, even some ordinary practitioners, if Unless you specifically track the cutting-edge information of the industry, you may not be able to know it in such a timely manner.

"Yes, it's that kind. It has a simpler structure, lighter weight, and smaller radar reflection area. It is currently the most cutting-edge technology."

Strictly speaking, before real flexible skin technology is put into use, it is still difficult to simply define the DSI air intake as "better" due to its inevitable narrow optimization range.

But it is definitely more advanced and more difficult to design.

"Can we guarantee that this cutting-edge technology will be put into use on the fourth prototype? I mean, will the pursuit of advancement affect the project progress?"

A knowledgeable leader obviously considers issues more comprehensively.

"You can rest assured about this. In fact, the DSI air intake has been pre-tested by Comrade Chang Haonan on another model..."

The chief followed Yang Wei's instructions and looked at Chang Haonan, who had been silent.

At this moment, the latter was very sure that he saw a flash of emotion called "shock" in the other person's eyes.

That means roughly:

"Why is it you again?"
