Are you sure?

Tu Lang was also asking himself, and he was not sure in his heart.

"Tu Lang, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and prepare, it's about to take off. Although several other pilots did not like Tu Lang because he was foolish and did not listen to orders, the whole team was criticized.

But now for Tu Lang, I have to take it.

Whether it is psychological quality or operation technology, Tu Lang is definitely the best.

Cobra maneuver, such a maneuver has not yet appeared in the world, and the higher authorities said that this maneuver is likely to be named after Tu Lang.

It is the dream of all pilots to create a super-maneuverable maneuver that has been learned all over the world and has been famous in the aviation field for eternity.

Many pilots, let alone creating complex maneuvers, can't do some maneuvers, on the one hand, because the performance of the fighter is not enough, and on the other hand, it is a problem of experience.

"It's still early, it won't take off until ten o'clock, and it's less than eight o'clock at this time......" Tu Lang greeted the other pilots for a while, inspected the fighter planes under the pretext of inspecting them, and arrived in front of the tarmac where their fighters were parked, looking at the silver-gray paint of the fighters, and involuntarily lit a cigarette.

Except for the first day of solo flight, he was nervous, and for so many years, he has not had such a nervous state of mind.

Flying close to the ground seems very simple, but few people dare to fly like this, it is extremely difficult, and in order to show the ground-to-air performance of the fighter, it must fly at a lower speed.

Just flying, it won't make Tu Lang so simple.

The crux of the matter is that the fighter must also fly upside down with its belly facing upwards and make various maneuvers at an altitude of 10 meters above the ground, so as to demonstrate the performance of the fighter at low altitude and low speed.

The main selling point of the F-16 is ground-to-air maneuverability.

Now Xie Kai has to slap them in the face in order to sell garbage fighters like the super-7A to the United States, and they must let them slap them in the face in the aspects that the Americans want to show the Chinese military.

"There should be no problem, I wouldn't brag if I knew it, this habit must be changed!" Looking at the fighter plane, the cigarette butt in his hand burned his fingers, and Tu Lang didn't feel it.

Xie Kai knew that Tu Lang was under pressure now, but he couldn't help it.

Just a cobra maneuver, it's really not enough.

"Lao Zheng, who are the Americans here this time?" On the way to Nanyuan Airport, Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng, "Their fighter plane is parked at Nanyuan Airport now, right?"

"Secretary of Defense Cappers has a bunch of U.S. military personnel, and we don't know the specifics, and we don't need to know each other, anyway, we don't have many opportunities to cooperate with them. Zheng Yucheng also has no bottom in his heart.

If Tu Lang behaves badly in front of the Americans, it will be very difficult for people to accept the consequences.

Maneuvering with a Cobra is enough to save face for China's aviation manufacturing industry.

"Isn't our minister with you?" Xie Kai has been dealing with the military for so long, and he has never met General Zhang, the Minister of National Defense.

"I must accompany him, not only General Zhang, but also Commander Wang of the Air Force will ...... together," Zheng Yucheng said, "That's why we have to be more cautious, once something goes wrong, the consequences will ......."

Even Zheng Yucheng, who has always been not afraid of the sky and the earth, became worried.

Xie Kai really didn't expect that his defense minister would have to come and see it.

The commander of the Air Force just take a look!

"General Zhang is so busy, what is he coming to see?" Xie Kai was a little speechless.

The Minister of Defense is busy all day, so what's going on?

Xie Kai didn't expect the Minister of Defense to come and see, but once Tu Lang staged a maneuvering flight close to the ground, something went wrong, and General Zhang's face would be gloomy.

The face of the Americans, he knows better than anyone else, that they have really failed, and he can imagine the Americans' scarlet in front of the defense minister of their own country.

"The US Secretary of Defense took the initiative to invite, not to mention, this is also an opportunity to see the performance of their Air Force fighter jets, can the Secretary of Defense be absent?" Wang Guilin didn't understand Xie Kai's thoughts. "That's not sure, so I told Tu Lang not to do it. ”

"Don't worry, I told him, don't do it if you're not sure. Xie Kai did explain it like this.

Nanyuan Airport is still a military airport.

It's just that there aren't many fighters in it, it's a backup airport, and the 404's Yun Shi often docks in Nanyuan Airport, so I'm very familiar with this side.

When the group came over, it was still early.

The security at the airport has clearly increased considerably.

After passing the inspection, Xie Kai and his group of 212 jeeps went directly to the terminal building inside the airport.

The U.S. Thunderbirds show is scheduled for 9:45 a.m. and lasts 15 minutes.

At that time, it was pretty much the same

It's not half past eight now, Xie Kai and they came here so early, in fact, just to see the F-16.

It's not that Xie Kai wants to see it, but Huo Haiyuan wants to see the F-16, an advanced fighter that has been hyped up all over the world.

In China, there is no chance to see this thing at all.

Even abroad, it's hard to see.

Last time in Pakistan, in order to see the Americans' F-16s, it turned out to cause a brawl between Lao Maozi and the Americans, and I don't know how the Pakistani side solved it in the end.

From afar, Xie Kai saw the red-mouthed F-16 neatly parked on the airport tarmac with the nose of the aircraft in red, white and blue.

The fuselage is mainly white, and the wings painted blue are not visible, while the white tail with red edges has 13 blue stars on each side, and it does look like a bird when it flies.

The tail nozzles of the fighter are folded together, and it is basically impossible to see anything, and there are no weapons under the wings, so there is nothing to look at.

Not far in front of the fighter, there was a group of people around, who else were they if it wasn't Huo Haiyuan?

"Domestic fighter designers, are they all here?" Seeing the group of old designers who were blocked at least ten meters away from the fighter plane, tiptoeing towards the F-16s parked not far in front of the terminal, Xie Kai's nose was sore, and he almost cried.

"This kind of opportunity is rare. Wang Guilin nodded.

Xie Kai didn't say anything and walked over quickly.

He wasn't here to see the F-16, because he knew the thing in front of him was a piece of.

But the domestic fighter designers don't know.

They simply didn't know that it was just a J79 turbojet engine, they didn't know at all that this was garbage in the garbage, something that no one wanted.

"Mr. Huo, what are you looking at!" Xie Kai didn't know the experts from other aircraft design and research institutes, he looked at these big men stretching their necks to see the F-16 not far away, and he was still thinking in his heart, if the Americans came here with a missile and hit here, the development of Chinese fighters would have to lag behind for at least another ten years.

Because Xie Kai saw that even Mr. Song, who was in charge of the No. 10 project in 611, was in the crowd.

"Mr. Song, just look at the aerodynamic layout of the shape of this thing, the avionics system and fire control radar inside can't be seen at all, it's a waste of time. Xie Kai saw that Mr. Song turned around to look at him, and said bitterly.

Mr. Song smiled bitterly, and before he could speak, he heard a rough voice next to him, with a strange tone: "Please keep your distance!"

Xie Kai turned his head and saw that a captain in a U.S. military uniform was pushing Huo Haiyuan, with a stern expression on his face, and he immediately became angry, he actually dared to bully the 404 fighter commander?

He stepped forward and pushed the American captain away, and asked coldly, "What are you doing? In our territory in China, you think it's you American?"

The captain was about to get angry, but was stopped by a major behind him.

"Sir, please don't go beyond the cordon!" said the major calmly, "this is China, we know it very well, but as invited to show your country our advanced fighters, should you have the corresponding respect?"

Although the other party's words were calm, the ridicule on his face was not hidden at all.

There is even a ridicule of China's military industry.

"Invited? Who invited you? You yourself rushed to sell the garbage that couldn't be sold...... Xie Kai's disdain was also expressed, "You think we Chinese all fools? This F-16/79 that can't be sold, do you really think we'll want it?"

Xie Kai was not polite at all.

Anyway, he didn't care about the other party's attitude at all.

It's just heartache for these big names in the domestic aviation field.

"Garbage, such garbage, do you have it?" said the captain next to him, sneering.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the bigwigs around them became ugly.

"Tell me, where is the garbage of our fighter planes? If we don't give a reason today, we will cancel the air show. The major looked at Xie Kai, and his face turned cold.

Mr. Song looked at Xie Kai and frowned.

Young people want to fight for their country, they are understandable, and everyone thinks like this.

But this is not a gamble that can be solved.

was about to step forward to ask Xie Kai to apologize, but he heard Xie Kai pointing to the F-16 next to him and said, "This is not the F-16A/B or other standard models, but the F16/79 that GM has created to cater to President Carter's policy of prohibiting the export of F-16 standard fighters, right?"

The major looked at Xie Kai and squinted his eyes, "What's the garbage with this?"

"How's the garbage? Just because this is so much worse than the F-16, the world has not received a single order!"

"No order for garbage?" the major was furious.

Xie Kai saw that the big names around him were looking at him and wanted to hear it, so he didn't sell it, "The F-16 equipped with the J79 turbojet engine is no longer an F-16 at all, it's just a borrowed reputation." Turbojet and turbofan engines, you don't need me to analyze the advantages and disadvantages for you, right?"

At this time, Xie Kai didn't care about the other party's thoughts and attitudes at all.

The major's face turned blue and white, "Turbojet is more suitable for you, and your fighters are all using turbojet engines at present......"

His discernment was somewhat weak.

The technologists next to them finally knew why the Americans didn't allow them to get close.

"Everyone knows that turbojet engines have high fuel consumption and low thrust ratios. You guys replaced the F16 turbofan engine of the F-100 with the J79 turbojet engine, how much the total thrust dropped, you understand better than anyone else. In addition, in order to reduce performance, GM added more than a ton of heat absorbers around the engine at the rear of the ......"

"That's to reduce the infrared characteristics!" the major roared.

He didn't know at all how these Chinese technicians who didn't know about their fighters knew this.

"Reduce the infrared characteristics, avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles, you know? Come, let's give it a try and see if our avant-garde can catch up?" Xie Kai saw that the other party was in a hurry, and Xie Kai was even calmer in his heart.

The Chinese technicians didn't know it, and they all thought it was a real F-16.

The Yankees are throwing their own people at bay.

"Not only is the thrust insufficient, but you are also deliberately reducing the allocation...... How powerful can it be in terms of low-altitude maneuverability? What is not garbage?" Xie Kai continued.

"Indeed, if it is a turbojet engine, even if the American technology is much higher than ours, for a fighter like the F-16, which has added more than a ton of weight, the thrust is really not enough......"

"Our J-8II has to use two engines, and the bomb load and range are not enough ......"

"What else is there to see about this thing?"

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Americans, a group of technical experts couldn't help but start discussing.

They are all experts in the field of aviation, and they are very familiar with engines and everything.

"Although it is a turbojet engine, it is much stronger than the F-16 in high-altitude and high-speed performance. "The major is in a hurry.

Obviously, he understands Chinese.

"Huh...... High-altitude and high-speed? Do we lack high-altitude and high-speed fighters?" Xie Kai sneered again, "The design positioning of the F-16 is that it is a daytime combat aircraft! The selling point is also the ability to fight in the air! Because of your garbage reduction design, replacing the high-thrust turbofan engine with a turbojet engine, in general, shortens the range, loses the time in the air, and the energy characteristics are even more atrophied, and it does not even have the ability to fight in the air! What is not garbage?"

All the bigwigs understood.

According to Xie Kai, this is indeed rubbish.

If the J-8II is replaced with a domestic engine, the combat performance of this F-16/79 provided by the Americans is even inferior to that of a domestic fighter.

No wonder the top brass don't.

"You're slandering!" the colonel next to him was anxious to do something.

"Slander? Aren't you going to put on a show today? I heard that the Thunderbird Flying Team's best two-plane formation is one upside down and one backward formation through the field, the smallest radius is circling, the four-plane diamond-shaped formation rolls synchronously, the four-plane column somersault becomes a diamond-shaped formation, and the five-plane blooms upwards, and so on. Come, let's see and see today!"

There is absolutely no problem with the F-16 doing this, especially the Thunderbird flight display team has been equipped with a high-performance F-16 in 82, and all kinds of difficult maneuvers are handy in flying.

"That's right, use difficult movements to open our eyes. Huo Haiyuan didn't speak.

Although the RD-33 engine is not particularly good, it is also a turbojet engine with afterburner.

The Major's face turned pale.

Originally, in their flight show plan, there were no top projects of these Thunderbird flying teams at all, but just a formation flight for the Chinese to see, and a few more single-plane maneuvers were enough for 15 minutes of performance time.

But now, the other party proposes this......

"What's going on?" At this moment, several high-level Chinese and American officials, accompanied by their entourage, walked over.
