Chapter 1230: J-20 fighter jet maneuvers and performance

Southwest Flight Test Academy.

This is currently the largest and most advanced flight test academy in China.

At present, China has three flight test academies, namely the Aviation Industry Flight Test Center, the China Test Pilot Academy and the Southwest Flight Test Academy.

The Aviation Industry Flight Test Center, referred to as the Flight Test Academy, is located in Yanliang District, Chang'an City. It is a national-level flight test agency authorized by the state for military and civilian aircraft, aircraft engines, airborne equipment and other aviation products. It is a national-level flight test technology research institution and also a national "aircraft test certification laboratory".

China Test Pilot Academy, also known as the Northwestern Polytechnical University Test Pilot Academy, is a higher education institution approved by the State Education Commission with the purpose of cultivating a new generation of high-level test pilots and test engineers. It is a relatively independent school entity relying on the China Flight Test Research Institute and the Northwestern Polytechnical University.

The Southwest Flight Test Academy is affiliated to the Panshan Group and is under the jurisdiction of the 011 Aviation Base. Its administrative level is at the same level as the Guizhou Aircraft Group. It has a high degree of independence and is also a reform pilot unit.

Southwest Flight Test Academy has a variety of aircraft, some in service, some experimental, and some from abroad.

Many aircraft have never been seen outside because they are test aircraft that have not passed mass production and service.

In fact, only a small number of aircraft can be put into service.

At the same time, Southwest Flight Test Academy has the most advanced flight test teaching hardware and software. It has realized multimedia teaching and flight simulation early. Even the test pilot fitness center and medical center are the most advanced in the country.

Liu Tao came to the flight test simulation center, where a test pilot was conducting a flight test simulation.

Flight test simulation is a profound subject. After Panshan Group took over Guifei Group, it continued to invest heavily in this area.

By now, the third generation of flight test simulation technology has been developed.

Through flight test simulation, experience can be accumulated, so that when encountering emergencies in real test flights, it can be better dealt with instead of panicking.

After inspecting the flight test academy, Liu Tao came to the airport.

At first, this was a dual-use airport for both military and civilian use. Later, the function of the civil airport was cancelled and a civil airport was rebuilt in another place.

Now this airport is a completely military airport.

At this time, the test pilots are going to test the J-20 fighter.

So far, the test flight of the J-20 fighter is still in progress, but the excellent performance has made the test pilots full of praise and the military is also very satisfied.

Yang Wei is introducing the relevant work of the J-20 fighter.

Now the J-20 fighter has a total of 3 prototypes. It is expected to deliver 6 J-20 fighters to the Air Force before the Spring Festival. It is expected to produce 12 J-20 fighters in 2006, and 24 J-20 fighters will be produced every year after 2007.

In the next ten years, the J-20 fighter will not be exported, even the export type.

After all, the times are different now, and there is no need to export everything like before.

As for the export type of the fourth-generation fighter, Panshan Group plans to win over other countries to conduct joint research and development, with other countries providing research and development funds, and then these countries will purchase it after it is developed.

The improvement work of the J-20 fighter is also continuing.

Stronger stealth performance, stronger engine, stronger electromechanical system

These are the improvement directions of the J-20 fighter.

Moreover, it is also necessary to develop carrier-based aircraft models so that the aircraft carrier has stronger carrier-based aircraft.

The successful development of the J-20 fighter is not the end, but just a new starting point.

In the future, the Chinese Air Force fighter will form the J-20 fighter as the top combat force, the J-11 fighter and the J-10 fighter will form a high-low match, and the J-7 modified, J-8 modified, and J-13 are auxiliary.

This point is already very obvious.

And with the successful development of the J-20 fighter, the research and development of the fifth-generation fighter has been underway since last year. For the fifth-generation fighter, Yang Wei serves as the chief designer.

As for the sixth-generation fighter, preparations are also underway.

All along, China has always adhered to the equipment development law of "serving one generation, developing one generation, pre-researching one generation, and exploring one generation" (producing one generation, trial-producing one generation, pre-researching one generation, and exploring one generation).

In terms of the fourth-generation fighter, China started later than the United States. But now, they are already on par with each other.

What China is working hard on now is to put the fifth-generation fighter into service before the Americans.

Only when it reaches that step can China be truly regarded as the world's largest aviation power.

From a pursuer, to being on par with each other, and then to surpassing!

These are all iconic milestones, representing the strength of China's aviation industry at different stages.

"Boom~~"

The roar of the J-20 fighter engine makes people excited.

Then we saw the J-20 fighter take off at high speed and pull up at high speed.

Not long after taking off, under the operation of the test pilot, the J-20 fighter performed a 360° roll.

Then it operated the dry land pulling onion + 360° roll.

Immediately afterwards, it was a 360° roll + falling leaves, which was completed very beautifully.

After this action, there was a large-angle drift and tail swing.

Soon, under the operation of the test pilot, a vertical pull-up was performed!

After flying in the air for about five minutes, it performed a large-angle diagonal drift landing, which was completed very beautifully.

Although it only took 10 minutes in total, the excellent performance of the J-20 fighter was fully demonstrated.

With these actions, the J-11 fighter can complete them, but it can't be completed as beautifully as the J-20 fighter.

This is the improvement of the performance of the aviation engine, which gives the J-20 fighter super maneuverability.

Of course, compared with the J-11 fighter, the most important thing about the J-20 fighter is not the improvement of the aviation engine, but the avionics system and stealth design!

According to current evaluations, because of the improvement of the avionics system, the J-20 fighter does not even need to develop a two-seat model, because one pilot can easily fly the J-20 fighter.

Of course, Yang Wei and his team will develop a two-seat model of the J-20 fighter, because theory is theory, and it still needs to be put into practice. In addition, the two-seat model has another function, which is to train pilots.

Liu Tao and Yang Wei walked over and chatted with the test pilot "Pan Fei". After all, the test pilot has a very big say in how the aircraft is.

"It's great, much better than the J-11 fighter!" Pan Fei praised: "Super maneuverability, can get rid of missiles very well!"

There are two main ways for fighters to get rid of missiles. One way is to release interference to interfere with the missile's search; the other way is for the pilot to control the aircraft, such as vertical pull-up when the missile is coming.

For military aircraft, the biggest threat is missiles, whether it is air defense missiles from the ground or air-to-air missiles from enemy aircraft.

In normal pilot training, there is an extremely important subject, which is to control the aircraft to perform various maneuvering training, just to avoid missiles. (End of this chapter)
