Super Seven is an appetizer, mainly through it, so that Surin Maozi can see the level of the republic's avionics industry up close, which is enough.

After more than two years of flight tests, three prototypes have been put into intensive test flights, and the overall design of No. 10 has been relatively mature.

The No. 05 and No. 06 engineering machines, which are being manufactured in the same batch in the No. 0 assembly plant, are scheduled to be rolled off the assembly line at the end of the year, and after the New Year, they will be delivered to the Yanliang Test Flight Institute in the spring of 92 at the latest, where the national test flight will be carried out.

Therefore, most of the flight envelope of the 10th has been flown out, and the chief test pilot Lei Qiang was ordered to take over the flight performance task, and he was confident.

In the distance, the closed hangar door splits in the middle and slides along the track to both sides under the drive of an electric motor, and the front wheels of No. 10 press against the central axis of the taxiway and enter the main runway under its own power.

finally saw the real No. 10, and Mao Zi didn't even blink his eyes: "Duck pneumatic design, belly air intake, that's right......."

"Look at the size, it is much larger than the improved model of the MiG-21 just now, I think this is an aircraft with a similar weight as the MiG-23, the shape of the streamlined design, it is really beautiful, but in the end it still can't be compared with our Su-27. ”

Lei Qiang knew that the people who came to visit the air show this time were all elite Soviet pilots, but he did not think that his car would be worse than the Soviet plane, and besides, there were no detailed requirements for the process in this air show, and it was all up to him to play.

Where is the ability of a fighter jet to maneuver, a performance like a cobra maneuver that makes the audience adrenaline rush and visually explode?

Obviously not, in the eyes of the pilots, such a fancy as the Cobra maneuver is actually difficult to have the opportunity to use in combat, and the real place to test the maneuverability of the aircraft in actual combat is precisely those most basic data.

Turning radius, large-angle climbing, stable disk, and instantaneous disk, only these basic skills are solid enough to ensure that they will not suffer losses in actual combat, and these data are also the basis for various maneuver performances.

The Volley 10 is specially optimized for speed, and the huge belly air intake provides excellent maneuverability at large elevation angles, this time it is a temporary show plan, the plane does not carry ammunition, and even the fuel is only one-third of the fuselage fuel tank, after all, more is completely unnecessary.

So at this time, the thrust-to-weight ratio of this performance machine is even greater than 1.

It's just right, it's time to pretend to be forced!

After takeoff, the flight altitude was deliberately reduced to 100 meters, the engine thrust was placed at an economical cruising speed, and the runway was swept at a low altitude and low speed, and even slightly swayed the fuselage to signal when passing by, which successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Breathe well, adjust your sitting position appropriately, and press your feet against the cockpit to prepare your body in advance.

Then hold the throttle lever on the right side of the cockpit operation panel, and start to push forward slowly, Qingcheng high-thrust turbofan performance is quite mature, the throttle response speed is fast, the ground crowd can obviously see that the aircraft is accelerating, and Lei Qiang can also feel a certain sense of pushing back.

When the throttle lever is pushed to two-thirds of the limit stroke, the push rod resistance is clearly increased, which is the afterburner switch limit.

Slightly squinting his eyes, his arm suddenly exerted force, and instantly pushed the throttle lever to break through the afterburner damping limit!

The on-board computer receives the afterburner command issued by the pilot, and immediately transmits the corresponding command to the engine electronic control system through the data bus, and the engine electronic control system coordinates the afterburner of Qingcheng to the maximum afterburner state.

At this time, the afterburner output at maximum power, which belongs to oil-rich combustion, and the orange-red flame shoots out from the tail nozzle, and the thrust increases suddenly.

At the same time, the left hand pulls the center joystick to the end, after this set of simple operations, the aircraft successfully achieved afterburner vertical climb stunts, which has not been tested in the previous test flight project, and today Lei Qiang is the first time to do it.

In fact, many aircraft can do this in the no-load state, but insiders pay attention to the turning radius in the process of changing from level flight to vertical climb, as well as how long and how high the vertical climb can last, these data can fully reflect the vertical maneuverability and engine thrust reserve of the aircraft.

While the audience was still exclaiming, the number 10 in the vertical climb was another beautiful vertical drum action, which fully showed that the engine thrust was still surplus, and the pilot needed to use such an action to consume energy.

Immediately after the vertical drum, the throttle is pulled back again, and the afterburner is abruptly disconnected.

At this moment, the ground personnel clearly saw that the No. 10 engine, which was originally dragging a long tail flame, seemed to stop suddenly, and only the on-site pilots with good eyesight could find that the aircraft had changed from a vertical climbing state to a flat flight, and of course there was not much thrust output at this time.

......

There is not much need for air performances between insiders, and it is impossible for the military to let Mao Zi find out all the bottom of No. 10 at one time, Lei Qiang also understands this, after the plane was changed to level flight, he honestly did a few basic actions, and then reduced the altitude and speed, and landed on the runway.

Unlike Super Seven who stopped so that Mao Zi could sit in it and experience it carefully, after the end of the aerial performance, No. 10 just slid ten meters in front of the crowd at a slow speed on the runway, and walked gently, carrying the clouds that had just been plucked from the sky, and disappeared in the whispering of the slow engine train.

The flight show of the 10th was completely live, and the low-altitude afterburner vertical climb was wonderful, which even the domestic military bigwigs had never seen at all.

The deputy commander of the Air Force was highly energetic throughout the whole process, and he was responsible for receiving and explaining, and he was thoughtful in his service with these Maozi.

"This is the No. 10 fighter, all the subsystems on it are fully mastered by our Republic, and the overall performance is enough to reach the level of the American-made F-16Block15OCU in the same period, and this is why we did not choose the MiG-29 fighter. ”

The mentioned F-16Block15OCU, which is already the most advanced model of the current American-made F-16 fighter, is the main export model of the F-16 fighter in the early nineties, exported to many NATO friendly countries, in the eyes of the Soviets, F-16 and MiG-29 do belong to the same level of competition.

And now, the Republic has actually come up with a product of the same level as the F-16, and it is also a duck aerodynamic design, I believe it will definitely have some unique skills in many places.

I have to admit: "If you can make it completely domestic, I believe it can indeed be a good front-line fighter, you don't need the MiG-29, so the choice of the Su-27 is a very smart and correct decision, unlike many countries, you know what you need, and you are working hard for it." ”
