The semiconductor electronics industry is important, which is the focus of Wang Zhengguo's work, but as a personal hobby, all the news about aviation can also cause him to be excited for a while.

The first flight of the Super Seven fighter was achieved at the end of 87, which made the entire Super Seven team excited for a long time, and the follow-up prototype construction, flight test and other work was in full swing, and it seems that there is a big meaning to be finalized and delivered in about 90 years.

A year ago, when the Super 7 made its first flight, Tu Jida also specially invited the main backbone of the No. 10 project to the scene to watch the ceremony.

Up to now, another full year has passed, with the various related equipment supporting the No. 10 in place, the installation and joint commissioning of the No. 02 prototype has been preliminarily confirmed, and the static test results of the No. 01 aircraft have also shown that the design of the aircraft is relatively reliable.

The No. 10 interceptor was finally able to enter the first flight stage at the end of 88, although at this time it was only an aircraft that could fly, and it did not have any combat capability, but it was still considered an important milestone in the history of the development of military fighters of the Republic.

At the same time, the French Rafale fighter has made its first flight in 86, and the Swedish JAS-39 made its first flight on December 9, 88 just a week ago.

Among the many third-generation canard fighters launched in the 80s, the No. 10 must not continue to crane the tail, and the Yugoslav ultralight duck must not be allowed to make its first flight before the No. 10.

Fortunately, the situation is not bad now, the Qingcheng high-thrust turbofan engine has been installed in place, after a large number of ground taxiing test work, the first flight work is progressing smoothly as planned, the No. 10 project is of great importance, and Liu Dajiao, who has not been in office for a long time, came to the 123 factory test flight station after a year.

Dad Wang Nanshou also came back from South Africa this time, and the name was to receive the first batch of two Qingcheng engines to bring back to South Africa, but the discerning person knew at a glance that the founder of the 601 Institute still wanted to come back to see the first flight of the No. 10 volley that truly inherited the design ideas and operational needs of Jian-Jiu.

"I have been presiding over the first flight of the multi-purpose model in South Africa for more than a year, and the second demonstrator has been in the air for half a year, and there are no major problems in the design of the aircraft, so this first flight is the same, it must be safe. ”

Comrade Lao Wang is also the chief designer of the aircraft, and of course he knows how much risk the chief designer has to take when an aircraft takes its first flight, so he also cheers up and encourages Chief Wen as much as possible as a person who has come over.

As for the chief test pilot who carried out the first flight this time, Wang Zhengguo was very surprised that it was still Lei Qiang, and when he heard the news at the beginning, he was stunned for a long time.

Lei Qiang was able to complete the first flight of No. 10 as the chief test pilot, because it was already 98 years when No. 10 first flew at this time, and Lei Qiang had enough experience and qualifications to fly No. 10 for the first time, but in 88 years.....

Fortunately, some things are so magical, who made Lei Qiang this guy bold, when the South African multi-purpose program was about to make its first flight, because South Africa did not have a professional test pilot, in the end it could only be selected from the country, in line with the principle of voluntariness, Lei Qiang, who had just been transferred to the test pilot brigade in 84, responded to the call and followed the test flight of the South African multi-purpose program.

Being able to get the first flight of the multi-purpose program on the South African side, and the subsequent test flight work is also smoothly carried out, which is the most powerful dry goods in terms of personal ability.

So just half a year ago, Lei Qiang was transferred back to China from South Africa, and after systematic research and simulation training on the data of the No. 10 interceptor, this test flight mission should also be handed over to him to complete.

And it is precisely because he has already tested the multi-purpose model in South Africa and has the bottom of his mind that Lei Qiang was able to board the plane with relative peace of mind this time, because he wanted to know how different this highly optimized for interception missions was from the multi-purpose model.

Sitting in the cockpit of the plane, he actually had a little regret in his heart.

"It's a pity that this first flight limited the flight envelope to death, otherwise I would have been able to maneuver a few more planes to try the depth. ”

Chief Engineer Xue, who was helping Lei Qiang do the final cabin system inspection, was really angry, this guy was still muttering that he couldn't fly two more maneuvers, and the young man was so bold.

"You don't have to inch in, before the original plan to add counterweight to the first flight in a static and stable state, this is an international common practice, if you don't insist on the first flight of the static unstable model, this time I'm afraid it is also required to be stable and conservative, so you will honestly fly according to the planned subjects, after all, so many bigwigs on the scene are watching, you can't make mistakes. ”

Waiting until the display prompted that the flight control system self-test was completed, Chief Engineer Xue finally helped to check the flight equipment, patted Lei Qiang's shoulder heavily, covered the cockpit cover, and then retreated down the boarding ladder step by step.

The ground engineer waiting on the ground quickly removed the boarding ladder and all ground equipment was removed from the take-off point.

Skillfully connected the connection between the auxiliary power system and the Qingcheng engine, the engine produced by Rolls-Royce is really reliable, the engine is ignited and started, according to the experience accumulated in the previous more than a year, all the work is also in order.

In fact, the first flight of the 10th is not much secret, after all, it has been directly poked out by the British before, and the news has been published in professional aviation magazines in a grand and public manner, and the world has long known it.

Rolls-Royce's logistics and maintenance engineers stationed in Factory 123 witnessed the first flight from afar, after all, Rolls-Royce's engineers have always been retained in Factory 123 to assist in the test flight of the Super Seven engine, and they actually know the news that the Republic is developing a military fighter of the same level as the F-16.

"Ryan, look at the test flight station over there, the canard pneumatic motor that was tested on the runway two days ago has appeared again, look, look... It's already flying, my God..."

The first flight of the No. 10 interceptor type, this news attracted the attention of many bigwigs in the domestic military, the security personnel, and even the traffic in and out of the 123 factory are obviously different from the past, these two people have been working in the 123 factory for more than two years, and they can still detect the abnormal situation.

Of course, Ryan has seen the planes in the sky, the fighter jets are flying test, and the movement is not small, and they professionals are all too familiar with it.

"I saw it, it had taken off successfully, and it seemed to be about the same aerodynamic design as last year's magazine, and it should be a more advanced fighter than the Super Seven, and I bet it could be counted in the standard third-generation range. ”

Just now the magic of the super seven, super eight two fighters are already quasi-third-generation aircraft category, and with a new design, and it is a new generation of fighters with the highest degree of secrecy, this performance should be stronger, didn't you see the previous propaganda is positioned at the same level as F-16, this is needless to say.
