In mid-October, Yang Jie came to Huaxing Aviation Technology Company.

The stealth fighter developed by the company for the Great Food Country has entered the intensive flight test test, and this time it is the supersonic flight test of the Snaphawk fighter, which is very critical, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Food Country, military officials from several Middle Eastern countries have come, and the Caliph Prince has also come.

Yang Jie naturally rushed over.

In the test flight command center, several test flight commanders and a group of technicians are conducting various command and dispatch.

This time, Zhang Kelong and other military personnel also came.

The data on the screen showed that after the No. 2 prototype lifted off, it was gradually moving away, flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the speed remained at Mach 0.8 at first.

The Snaphawk flew at Mach 0.8 for a while and then began to accelerate, easily breaking the sound barrier and climbing at a speed.

Mach 1.2, Mach 1.5, Mach 2, Mach 2.5......

The speed kept increasing, until it reached Mach 3.0 and then stopped climbing, keep it that speed and keep flying!

Supersonic cruise!

Supersonic cruise at Mach 3.0!

This is already the maximum supersonic cruise speed designed for Snaphawk fighters!

In the test flight command center, the test pilots, commanders, and technicians of Huaxing Aviation Technology Company were holding their breath and staring at the data on the screen.

These military representatives from Middle Eastern countries are also excited, and they also know the significance of Mach 3.0 cruises.

"It can really reach Mach 3.0 supersonic cruise!"

"yes, that's amazing! I just don't know how long I can cruise at that speed. ”

Supersonic cruise, which is one of the "generational differences" of fourth-generation fighters and third-generation fighters, the Eagle Sauce F-22 fighter claims that its maximum cruise speed without afterburner is up to Mach 1.72, and the maximum speed after afterburner reaches Mach 2.25.

For a fighter jet, many flight parameters will indicate the flight performance of the aircraft, among which the maximum flight speed is a very important parameter. The maximum flight speed can allow the fighter to approach the enemy at the fastest speed to launch a battle, and it can also get out of the war zone at the fastest speed, so in the process of fighter design, the trade-off of the maximum speed is a big headache for the leading designer, especially for the fighter with volley requirements, its maximum speed is a parameter that cannot be weakened at all.

The Snaphawk fighter has a maximum cruise speed of up to Mach 2 without afterburner, which is mainly due to its excellent low-drag aerodynamic shape, built-in weapon, and high-thrust turbofan engine.

This maximum cruise speed without afterburner is much higher than the Mach 1.72 speed of the F22 fighter.

Now that the afterburner is at full speed, the Snaphawk fighter has reached a surprising Mach 3.0, no wonder these military personnel are so excited.

The excellent supersonic cruise performance enables the Snaphawk fighter to quickly engage the enemy, quickly occupy a position, greatly increase the missile attack area, quickly leave the battlefield, and get rid of the attack.

Seeing the cruising speed of Mach 3.0, the military personnel were most concerned about how long the cruising time could last.

As the minutes passed, the entire test flight command center was very quiet, only the sound of occasional instructions and the sound of instrumentation working.

So far, there is only one aircraft in the world that can really achieve long-range supersonic cruise flight, and that is the Eagle Sauce's F22 Raptor that is the only one that can fly for 2 hours at Mach 2.2 with afterburner, setting a world record that no fighter can match before that.

Now, the Snaphawk fighter has completely broken the record held by the Eagle Sauce F22 fighter, the time is passing minute by minute, this ultra-high speed has been maintained at Mach 3, ten minutes have passed, the speed is still continuing, this speed has been maintained at nineteen minutes before it begins to descend rapidly-

Afterburner flight is too fuel-intensive, and the fuel carried by the Snaphawk fighter itself is no longer enough to maintain this ultra-high flight speed.

But this result has already broken the world record held by Eagle Sauce F22!

This also means that this Snaphawk fighter will be fighting with other fighters in the future, if the Snaphawk does not want to entangle with them and accelerate the separation, then whether it is the F22 fighter of Eagle sauce or other fighters, it will not be able to catch up with the Snaphawk fighter with super patrol ability in any case.

If the Snaphawk fighters turn around and run after the missiles, those fighters will not be able to catch up or reach them anyway.

These military personnel in the Middle East are well aware of the importance of excellent supersonic cruise capability, and it is no wonder that everyone is so excited to see the cruise speed of Mach 3.0.

Huaxing Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. can say that the Snaphawk fighter developed for the big food country has far exceeded their expectations.

Not to mention anything else, this flight speed alone has already thrown off many fighters.

Zhang Kelong and several domestic military personnel also exchanged glances at this time, and they all felt that it was a pity to deliver such a stealth fighter with supersonic cruise capability to Da Shiguo.

The J20 stealth fighter purchased by the domestic military is also equipped with an engine developed by Yonghan Aviation Technology Company, and the engine thrust is the same, but a vector nozzle is installed, while the Snaphawk fighter does not.

Rao is so, the design indicators given by the Snaphawk fighter have been achieved, with excellent supersonic cruise capability, and it is still a high-speed cruise of Mach 3.0, which has made the big food countries and these rich people in the Middle East very happy.

In the past, the domestic training of fighter designers because of the lack of engine power can only rely on pneumatic technology to make up, so many years in the aerodynamic technology attainments are very powerful, now with a high-performance engine, combined with pneumatic technology to develop a fighter jet in supersonic flight has reached an amazing degree.

Not only the Snaphawk stealth fighter, but also the various aircraft produced by Huaxing Aviation Technology Company and Hongdu Group Company in recent years have continued this design feature.

Half an hour later, the Snaphawk fighter landed on the runway of Huaxing Aviation Technology Company, and the two test pilots got off the plane, both full of excitement and excitement.

As the military's ace test pilots, these two test pilots have basically seen any test flight situations, but in their careers, they have never been as smooth as today, and the supersonic cruise of Mach 3.0 has made them addicted.

This test pilot from the military of the Great Food Country got off the Snaphawk fighter and deliberately looked back at the Snaphawk fighter, his eyes full of reluctance and joy.

It's so enjoyable!

As one of the test pilots of the Snaphawk fighter, the test pilot sent by the big food country fell in love with the Snaphawk fighter and almost became a die-hard fan of the Snaphawk fighter.
