Chapter 445 J-20? J-22?
"So, it's a flight control problem?"
In the conference room, the projector is playing the entire process of today's flight.
Combined with the report from test pilot Wang Zhi, we finally figured out why this situation occurred.
At the beginning, the flight control was fighting with the pilot for control. In the end, Wang Zhi regained control because the flight control program was manually shut down.
The mid-air shutdown did occur, and the cause is currently being investigated.
Fortunately, the result was good and no casualties occurred.
And the plane finally landed safely.
“Why don’t you skydive?”
After figuring it out, Fang Xiang once again turned his attention to Wang Zhi.
"I don't think we've reached the altitude to skydive yet. If it was a few seconds later, I would have definitely jumped."
Wang Zhi scratched his hair embarrassedly.
"You are so brave..."
Fang Xiang let out a long sigh.
I have to say that Wang Zhi is truly an example of a man of great talent and courage.
As for the fact that the fly-by-wire flight control would compete with the pilot for control, Fang Xiang really did not expect it.
It was not until a few days later that we discovered that the program had fallen into an infinite loop.
The program that was originally used to exchange control rights made a low-level mistake.
But if you put all that aside, the whole process played repeatedly on the projector not only looks thrilling, but the moment when the plane takes off again at the end is truly heart-stirring.
In fact, Fang Xiang has also seen this scene in later generations, but that was on the J-20.
And it was a deliberate performance, just to show the pilot's superb skills and the power of the engine.
"Old Song, what do you think if we show this scene to the sheep?"
But soon, Fang Xiang came up with an idea.
You know, although the picture looks thrilling, due to the clarity and distance, it is impossible to tell whether it is a J-11 or a Xiaolong.
Especially the fighter plane that was surrounded by falling leaves almost the entire time. With the addition of low resolution and distance, Fang wanted to say that this was a JF-17, and it was estimated that people who saw it would not doubt it.
"what?
this? "
Mr. Song's brain suddenly froze at this moment.
"I think it's okay."
On the contrary, Wang Jinyang was quick-witted and immediately agreed.
"No, is this okay?"
Mr. Song's eyes wandered back and forth between Fang Xiang and Wang Jinyang several times before he understood what the two meant.
It's nothing more than taking this video, removing the sound, and showing it to the sheep to trick them into buying the JF-17?
In fact, it is not necessary to remove the sound, which can fully explain why the onlookers knew the test procedure clearly and it makes sense.
I didn’t expect that a test that originally failed could be used as a promotional video?
At this time, Mr. Song was already somewhat impressed by Fang Xiang's way of thinking.
"So... do you want to test the Cobra maneuver again?"
But at this time, Wang Zhi's weak voice came from the corner.
"..."
However, this remark immediately drew angry glares from Fang Xiang and the other three.
Wang Zhi shrank his head and dared not speak.
“Forget it, don’t worry.
Let’s collect the data of Xiaolong first.
As for this video... let's send it to the Air Force first so they can use it as a reference.
By the way, remind them that if the flight control system and the pilot are competing for control, they should manually shut down the flight control system immediately. "
Fang Xiang pinched his chin, thinking that this idea was indeed a bit too much.
Let go of this thought and get back to the topic.
"What did the test pilot say?
Strictly speaking, not jumping out immediately is also a violation of safety regulations. . . ”
After leaving the meeting room, he followed Fang Xiang and brought up the matter of the test pilot.
"Why, are you still planning to punish them?
I think he should at least be awarded a third-class merit!
Even a second-class merit would be fine.”
Fang wanted to know what Mr. Song meant by that. He wanted to use a small punishment as a warning to future pilots that the fact that this incident ended without any major incident was actually an unexpected event among unexpected events.
The correct way is to parachute as soon as possible, and saving the test pilot's life is the top priority.
But Fang Xiang didn't want to lose a top test pilot because of this.
After all, at Wang Zhi's age, there is no one better than him.
Those who are better than him are already over 40 years old and are no longer qualified for the position of test pilot.
Those who are younger than him are far inferior in skills and abilities.
A small internal warning will be enough.
If the announcement is really made, Wang Zhi will definitely have to withdraw from the test pilot sequence, but Fang Xiang does not intend to go that far.
Besides, if we really have to count the responsibility, it should be put on ourselves, right?
After all, it was Fang Xiang who proposed today's test.
Just when Fang Xiang was still collecting data on the JF-11 and troubleshooting the J-'s fault problems.
On the Air Force side, however, after receiving this video, there was an earthquake-like discussion.
Those who think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages think that it is just an accident, but the result is good. It indirectly proves the excellent performance of the J-11 and WP-9 engines and the profound skills of the test pilots.
Some people think that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages and that Factory 132 is messing around. Just because of a test idea, it almost resulted in the destruction of the plane and the death of people.
On the contrary, a very small number of people fell into deep thought after watching this video.
This is the capability that the WP-9 can bring out on the J-11. If it is replaced with the F110...
But these had nothing to do with Fang Xiang. He was busy marking the various technical indicators and parameters of the F-35 on the drawing with Wang Jinyang, as well as the things that needed attention.
"What code name should we use for this plane?
I feel that using J-12 is a bit unfair to this next-generation fighter. After all, it is the fifth generation, right?
The super maneuverability, beyond-visual-range strike and stealth that you originally proposed are now achievable and already fall into the category of fifth-generation aircraft.
How about using the new code name J-20???"
"puff......"
Just when Wang Jinyang was holding the blueprint and muttering about how to codename this model, the word "J-20" made Fang Xiang spit the tea he had just drunk all over the floor.
"J-20?"
Fang Xiang looked at the water stains on the floor. Fortunately, he turned his head in time so that the water did not spray on the desk and Wang Jinyang.
He wiped his mouth and looked at Wang Jinyang in disbelief.
“Yes, I think this model will take at least three to five years of research before it can be verified.
It will probably take several more years before we can find materials strong enough to build a prototype.
By the time the technology is mature enough to be put into service, it might be the next century.
A new century and a new atmosphere naturally call for a new name.
How about it, does the J-20 sound particularly domineering? ! "
Wang Jinyang reached out and wiped away the water droplets that Fang Xiang had accidentally sprayed on him.
He said to himself, full of pride.
"No... yours is called J-20.
What about mine?"
Fang Xiang took out the J-20 drawing and placed it in front of Wang Jinyang.
"this?
They are all fifth-generation aircraft, how about calling yours the J-22?"
Wang Jinyang glanced at the J-20 blueprint that Fang Xiang took out, and proudly gave it a new code name.
“Why J-22 and not J-21?”
Fang Xiang looked at the J-20 drawings with some depression. Hey, could it be that your name is going to be taken ahead of time?
"Because yours is a twin-engine heavy fighter!
It has two engines, so of course it should be 22. At that time, one of them will be high and the other low.
One is for air superiority, the other is multifunctional and all-weather.
Hey, I think the blue skies of our motherland in the 21st century will last at least years with these two!"
Wang Jinyang shook his head and defined the two planes.
But he didn't see Fang Xiang with a depressed look on his face at all.
"What do you mean thirty years? I think it can last fifty years!"
However, Mr. Song on the side was not convinced and immediately raised an objection.
