"During the air show, who looks at the real combat capability? The bomb load of the Super 7A is not too bad, is it?"

Xie Kai sighed.

The combat capability is not strong, this is a hard wound.

The Super -7A was originally a light fighter, and was positioned by Xie Kai in the category of advanced training aircraft.

Now that the two-seater version of the model is still in the wind tunnel, it has not been completely finalized at all, and the four-degree fly-by-wire system has not yet been installed, Xie Kai really doesn't know if this Cobra maneuver is due to an accident, or the Super -7 itself has such maneuverability.

Everything has to wait until after talking to Tu Lang and asking him if he did it on purpose or just to make it by accident.

"Okay, give you half an hour. Zheng Yucheng felt that Xie Kai couldn't gain anything at all.

It's better to use some conventional moves to share the stage with the Americans, as long as the performance gap is not too big.

Xie Kai immediately asked people to take him to see Tu Lang.

The terminal of the base airport is actually an air force headquarters.

Since its establishment, Xie Kai has not been here once, and the terminal building is built against the mountain, and it is impossible to see it from the outside, so it is leaning on the factory building in front.

In the confinement room, Xie Kai saw Tu Lang.

Less than thirty years old, with a flat haircut, a short and thin man, with a Chinese face.

"Do you know that the mistake you made is very serious?" Xie Kai didn't talk nonsense, and asked Tu Lang directly.

He wanted to know if Tu Lang had inadvertently made a Cobra maneuver, or if he had already known that the Super-7A could make such a maneuver.

"Are you Xie Kai?" Tu Lang looked at Xie Kai with a curious expression, as if he didn't care about his mistakes at all, or rather, he didn't care about the serious consequences. "I've heard of your name before, but I didn't expect that the first time I disobeyed the order, I alarmed you. ”

He still had a smile on his face when he said this.

"If there is no reasonable explanation this time, an explanation that satisfies the leaders of the base and your immediate superiors in the future, in this life, it is estimated that you will never expect to touch a fighter again, and don't ......even think about a piston plane," Xie Kai looked calm. "As for whether it was the first time you disobeyed orders, I think you know better than anyone else, you were grounded for blindly flying various maneuvers that violated the regulations, and finally retired, I am curious, how did you get into the Super 7A test flight team. Could it really be that 611 Chief Master Tu Jida is a relative?"

The embarrassment on Tu Lang's face flashed.

He really didn't know, Xie Kai would know something about him.

He had indeed heard of Xie Kai's name before.

The F-14 was brought back by the young man in front of him.

Unfortunately, in the end, he still did not become a pilot of the F-14.

"I'm not a relative of Mr. Tu, and he doesn't even know me......" Tu Lang said embarrassedly.

Xie Kai was noncommittal, he didn't come to ask if Tu Lang was a relative of President Tu.

"You have seriously violated discipline this time and have been dealt with, that's for sure, as for whether you can continue to touch the fighter plane later, it depends on whether the questions you answer satisfy the leaders. Xie Kai didn't talk nonsense, "Before you came down, the fighter plane obviously stalled, how did you get out of the tailspin state and keep the plane flying smoothly?"

Even if Xie Kai thought in his heart that the biggest possibility was that this thing flew out blindly, he still had certain expectations.

The Soviet Union's Su-27 carried out a lot of verification work before Pugachev flew the Cobra maneuver, computer simulation, air test bench simulation, and even accurate to what speed and what action every second, and finally created the Cobra maneuver, which is extremely coquettish but has little actual combat effect, but can well demonstrate the super maneuverability of the fighter's maneuverability.

Super -7A, all this is an accident.

Tu Lang looked at Xie Kai with some shock.

He didn't believe that such a young man could ask such a professional question.

The truth made it impossible for him to refute it.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

Originally, he was ready to accept punishment and even never touch the fighter plane again for the rest of his life.

But Xie Kai's question was too much beyond his thoughts.

"All this was originally designed, at the beginning, quickly pull the joystick back to maintain the state of the plane, and then push the joystick forward to press the nose down the ......" Tu Lang replied honestly.

"Who designed it?" Xie Kai hurriedly asked.

Tu Lang didn't know why Xie Kai was asking this, and said, "I heard Mr. Huo say before, the super-7A is very maneuverable, especially the canard wing layout in front, so that many maneuvers that domestic fighters can't make can be made...... I flew the J-7 and J-8 before, and I wanted to make such a move, but unfortunately, I fell two planes......"

Hearing this, Xie Kai looked weird.

This product is wonderful.

In China in the seventies and eighties, two fighter planes were dropped, but they were not seriously dealt with, either because they had a strong backstage relationship, or because they had so good technology that even the higher-level leaders had to spare their talents.

At present, it seems that it should be the latter.

"If you are allowed to open it again, can you still make it?" Xie Kai asked.

"It should be possible! The maneuverability of this fighter is far stronger than what Mr. Huo introduced to us. Especially the low-altitude and low-speed performance, flying close to the ground at an altitude of ten meters is not a problem......" Tu Lang's eyes were full of anticipation, and he said with his tongue licking his lips.

Xie Kai did not answer his words and did not give him any promises.

Just like that, he turned and left the confinement room.

Rao is Tu Lang patted the doors and windows in the confinement room, shouting constantly, and he did not hesitate.

When they arrived in the conference room in the airport terminal, Zheng Yucheng and the others were already in a meeting.

Eight domestic F-14 core seed pilot instructors and four super 7A pilot seed instructors sat with a group of bigwigs on the base management committee, still emphasizing discipline.

Throughout the meeting, Xie Kai did not say a word.

Because none of these pilots could come up with a plan that satisfied him.

Before they had made the transfer from the experimental airfield of 132, they already knew the task facing the entire flight team.

"There's no right plan, and it's a nuisance now. Zheng Yucheng and others saw that the meeting was fruitless, and the pilots flew for a short time, so they simply broke up the meeting.

Everyone's face was covered with frost.

"In front of the eyes of the Americans, fly a five-plane cobra maneuver!" Xie Kai said after careful consideration.

Five fighters flew the Cobra at the same time, which was far more shocking than flying one fighter.

When the Cobra maneuver first appeared, at the Paris Air Show, only Pugachev flew alone.

Now, Xie Kai hopes that five Super-7A will fly at the same time.

There are no problems with the maneuverability that the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft can provide, the rest is the quality of the pilot.

As a member of the test flight team, he can fly the latest domestic models, and there is no test pilot whose quality is not good enough.

The only key now is that time is running out.

Flying formation or something, that's all pediatric problems, the key is that in the formation process, all the planes maintain the same action, which requires a lot of time to contact, and all the pilots cooperate tacitly.

"Is this useful?" asked Wang Guilin.

Zheng Yucheng and the others all shook their heads, Xie Kai's idea was too naïve.

The maneuvers they had seen before were too dangerous, without any training, and five fighters doing such maneuvers at the same time, as long as the pilot of one fighter plane was slightly sluggish, according to the situation just now, it would be the result of the plane being destroyed and people killed.

"That's the only thing we can turn around. Xie Kai said, "I asked Tu Lang before, and he said that all this was planned before, and he didn't have a chance to do such a thing at the test flight field in Rongcheng......"

Xie Kai gave a briefing on the situation.

Bai Yanjun on the side couldn't hold his face, but he couldn't explain it.

It is true that he let people go.

"His skills are really very good, but the bad thing is that people are too messy. Bai Yanjun explained.

Tu Lang is not a relative of Tu Jida, but this product made a mistake before in order not to be completely grounded, so he publicized it everywhere.

"How many planes did he crash?" Xie Kai asked.

"He fell off the plane?" Yue Lin's brows furrowed.

Such pilots, no matter how good, cannot be wanted.

Every fighter is precious, and so far, there are not enough fighters in the country for the training and use of pilots, on the one hand, the cost is too high, and on the other hand, the air force is underfunded.

This kid actually dropped more than one fighter!

"3. One J-8, two J-7s......" Bai Yanjun couldn't wait to find a crack to drill down, "When the super-7A was tested before, there were not enough test pilots on the 132 side, and the F-14 no longer needed test pilots, so I got him over there, and I didn't think he was so bold." ”

If he had known that this would be the case, no matter what, it would be impossible for Bai Yanjun to let Tu Lang go to Rongcheng.

"If the whole aircraft formation makes such a maneuver, it is indeed very shocking. Yue Lin is more knowledgeable than Zheng Yucheng, "I don't have enough time now, and I don't have time for them to practice." Moreover, we only have 5 super-7A, and there is no room for any loss of any one. ”

Zheng Yucheng really didn't think there was any point in this maneuver.

Tu Lang is such a black sheep who does not obey orders, he thinks that it is better to kick it out as soon as possible.

"As long as he can fly, I can use my rights to allow him to drop a plane every year!" Wang Guilin is now ruthless.

He didn't want to lose face in front of the Americans.

At the beginning, when they went to the United States to purchase engines, the Americans were arrogant and even asked the Chinese delegation whether Chinese planes could go into the sky without their American engines.

For the current 404, let alone drop one fighter every year, even if it falls three or five times a year, I won't care too much.

"When it comes to crashing an airplane, if you want to understand the extreme performance of the entire fighter, or even test the ejection performance of the flight seat, you have to fall. After installing our own turbofan-6, the chance of falling is greater......" Xie Kai also agreed with Wang Guilin's words.

It is impossible for any fighter to be more technologically mature and not drop a few planes.

There are even many times when I deliberately fall down.
