Chapter 70: The Pit (Part II)
Under the sky, eight General Electric F404 turbofan engines rolled over the Lemore naval base with the high-frequency whistling sound characteristic of a new generation of military aviation engines.
On the ground, countless exhibitors who were already completely stunned all craned their heads and craned their necks, their eyes closely following the four F/A-18 Hornet fighters in standard Blue Angel livery.
The twins, who had just been bored by the bland aerobatics of the Italian tricolor arrow aerobatic team, stopped chatting with Liang Yuan and instead focused on the clear sky.
Moments ago, the four-plane formation of the Blue Angels that rose from the ground finally showed the demeanor of a top-level air show team after several interspersed flying and vertical roll cross maneuvers.
At a low altitude of 1,500 meters above the ground, four F/A-18s formed the signature formation of the Blue Angel Air Show Team, the diamond dense formation, and marched from west to east along the direction of the airport runway.
When the fleet arrived over the runway of the airport, the four F/A-18 fighters in a dense formation seemed to be shadows of each other, and they made two formation rolls in unison, which was similar to a miracle and suddenly ignited the atmosphere of the exhibition site.
"How is this possible!"
"It's amazing!"
The excited twins clutched Liang Yuan's arm
When the F/A-18 fighters formed a diamond formation, the distance between the planes was just over 40 centimeters, which was a real arm's length away.
The wingspan of the F/A-18 Hornet fighter is 13.62 meters, which means that if an F/A-18 fighter in the formation deviates more than 3 degrees from the formation level in the flight axis when the fighter maintains a diamond dense formation, then a collision is an inevitable occurrence, and the roll rate of the F/A-18 is about 180 degrees per second, when the entire diamond formation is rolled. The pilot's fault-tolerant reaction time was only 0.017 seconds.
The limit of modern human controllable neural response is about 0.1 seconds, and 0.017 seconds has far exceeded the physiological limit of human beings, in other words, the stunt action made by the Blue Angels is uncontrollable in principle, but the error tolerance time of 0.017 seconds is not only a huge test for the pilot, but also a comprehensive challenge to the stability of the aircraft's aerodynamics, communication, control system and other subsystems.
If it weren't for the deep understanding of the performance of the aircraft, this kind of movement that is basically dancing on the blade is basically similar to self-defeating. Behind the seemingly simple stunts is an incomparably strong industrial base and scientific and technological strength, and the whole planet has no semicolon except for the United States for the time being.
Of course, from the side of this flight stunt, it can also be seen that the criteria for selecting pilots of the US Navy Blue Angel Air Show Team are not the excellence of individual physiological indicators, but the consistency and stability of the overall quality of the team members.
Tens of thousands of spectators poured into the Tiger Club Public Open Day, although there are not many professional military fans like Liang Yuan, but the general quality is still well known.
After the Blue Angels air show team carried out a dense formation synchronous roll, the atmosphere at the scene has been boiling, and even the two girls have temporarily put aside their worries about their father and invested in it.
For a full thirty minutes, the Blue Angels, soaring in the sky, landed in groups on the extremely wide runway of the Le Mor Naval Base.
After the thrilling performance of the Blue Angels Air Show Team. The hapless British Harrier became cannon fodder to calm the emotions of the audience.
"After the Harrier, the air god of war from the Republic will fly the most advanced fighter on the planet, bringing the most real and passionate shock to the audience...... "In the loudspeaker, the magnetic American baritone fanned the atmosphere of the scene.
Listening to the temporary loudspeakers in the air show venue, extremely sensational explanations and cross-play words came out from time to time, and a wry smile appeared from the corner of Liang Yuan's mouth.
The "jewel" of the Blue Angel air show team lies in the front, and the extreme performance of the F14A fighter is destined to be much clearer than Ning Lei. None of Ning Lei's options will probably go beyond the expectations of the US Navy.
What should Uncle Ning do so that he not be overwhelmed by the incomparably shocking Blue Angel Air Show Team just now...... , who TM said that foreigners are straightforward, honest and unscheming. This killing is simply too slippery, Liang Yuan complained secretly.
Rubbing the corners of his forehead, Liang Yuan sighed helplessly, he was just a military fan, not to mention the trump card, but compared with the real pilot, he was so scummy that he couldn't be scum. No matter how well a simulated flight flies and a real fighter pilot, it is an unreliable behavior to judge a thing without understanding the surrounding conditions.
However, the two girls were quite ignorant and fearless, and they were not worried at all about Ning Lei, who was about to take off in a moment, but discussed with Liang Yuan with great interest that when the Blue Angel Air Show Team was in dense formation just now, the rolling movements made were all completed by the pilots themselves. Or is it semi-automatic with the help of some kind of electronic device.
In recent years, with the rapid development of Gangji Collector in the microprocessor business, the two girls' understanding of the microelectronics industry is also increasing day by day.
"Xiaoyuan, did you say that the F/A18 Hornet fighters just now were installed with some special autopilot equipment, and it is inconceivable that it is difficult to do cooperative rolling at such a close distance. Holding Liang Yuan's arm, Ning Wanjia asked with some suspicion.
Looking at the clear eyes of the two girls. Liang Yuan grinned bitterly and said: "I also hope so, but there is probably no special electronic equipment, in fact, the key to the rolling action just now is not to reflect the speed of the individual pilot, but to the consistency of each aircraft and the pilot, in other words, whether the pilot or the aircraft, on the ground must strictly detect that the error between their teams when they make a certain action is less than a very small limit value." β
Liang Yuan said as he took out the large mobile phone from Ning Wanjia's backpack, and after calculating it for a moment with the simple calculator that came with the phone, he said: "The error time of the error tolerance when the diamond formation rolls is only 0.017 seconds, and the Cheng DΓΉ who has a good sense of action coordination between the pilots is almost the same as that between Jiajia and Fei Fei." β
Hearing Liang Yuan say this, the two girls understood a little, and Ning Wanjia said casually: "Xiaoyuan, it looks like the flying quadruplets should be difficult to find." β
"Sister, don't talk about such a shameful problem, there are tens of thousands of pilots of all kinds under the US Navy alone, and it is not difficult to find seven or eight people with similar nerve reflex arcs from so many people, the difficulty in this matter is not people, the difficulty lies in the accuracy of the test instrument and the scientificity of the selection method. Ning Wanfei, who practiced martial arts, broke through the key point of the Blue Angel Air Show Team in one sentence.
"Xiaoyuan, do you think that Dad's Air Force's Bayi Air Show Team can fly at this level of action of the Blue Angels?" Ning Wanfei asked curiously.
"It has nothing to do with the pilot's Su zhì, unless the formation distance is increased to improve the fault tolerance space, it is absolutely impossible to fly the current Jian-7 fighter. Liang Yuan said categorically.
Although the Jian-7 fighter that flies into the flight can be much stronger than the current eight-master who has a very individual aircraft and an independent parts warehouse, there is still a great distance from the requirements of the same batch of products with the same operating quality, not to mention that the current technology of the F/A-18 fighter of the Blue Angel Air Show Team is basically equivalent to the later model of the J-10A fighter of the Republic of China.
Although the two girls didn't know that Ning Lei frequently encountered air stops when he was driving the Jian-8, and almost lost his life at the beginning, they grew up on the edge of the airport since they were children, and they also knew the approximate quality of the Republic's fighter jets.
Sighing, Ning Wanjia said: "If the plane can, our air show team can also fly out of that kind of action."
"It's better to count on Bayi Jiajia than to count on the navy, with Uncle Ning's qualifications, it is impossible to fall to the point of catching the Bayi Air Show Team in the future, if someone else leads the team......" Liang Yuan laughed a few times.
Even if the Air Force of the Republic of China is reequipped with the Jian-10 in the future, with the ability of the August 1 masters to fly out of the pure air superiority fighter and the charm of the stealth strategic bomber, surpassing or reaching the level of the Blue Angel is tantamount to a pipe dream.
"Pig head, how can Dad's colleagues be as unbearable as you say. β
The two girls knew that Liang Yuan had never had a good opinion of the Republic Air Force, otherwise how could they conspire with Tang Wan to rob the first batch of F14 fighters that the Air Force deserved.
The three of them chatted casually about the air show, and suddenly there was an incomparably huge noise from the southwest, Liang Yuan and the two girls stopped talking, and looked up in the direction of the sound.
In the southwest corner, a common vertical hangar door with a large light gray arc dome in the base is rolling and slowly lifting, a few seconds later, facing the scorching sun at noon, first a fiery red conical radar fairing slowly poked out from the main entrance of the hangar, and then a golden bird peck with a barb curve was revealed, and below the bird's peck, a five-toed golden claw with a knife-like toenail was revealed, accompanied by the roar of a huge engine in front of tens of thousands of exhibitors.
