Chapter 1087: Preparing for a Test Flight
The destination has arrived.
Peyton looked out of the car and saw that there was a sudden opening up ahead, a huge basin surrounded by mountains, but the hill was not high, and it did not prevent the plane from taking off and landing at all.
The point is that this place is big enough and wide enough, and this huge basin is obviously a military area, and the core is the military's test flight base.
Payton could already see the huge airport in the distance, in the barbed wire fence of the airport, not only the long airport runway, but also the huge tarmac with all kinds of planes parked, neatly arranged.
As the convoy drove towards the airport, the distance gradually got closer, and Peyton saw that there were many hangars at the airport, and Peyton guessed in his heart that the new fighter plane that will be tested today may be in a certain hangar.
Hey!
Peyton's eyes lit up, and his eyes were quickly drawn to it, and by this time, the convoy had entered the airport and began to arrive at the huge tarmac.
In the distance, it should be a fighter of a flying squadron, which immediately attracted Peyton's eyes, because this is the main fighter in active duty in Huaxia, I didn't expect to see so many at once here.
The convoy arrived at the test flight base, stopped on the tarmac, not far away is the viewing area that has been arranged, rows of chairs have been prepared, and a little farther away, is a building of the test flight base, these foreigners get off the car, will be arranged in the building for a short rest.
"Look over there!"
Someone found Wang Xudong's Gulfstream G650 plane, which is in stark contrast to all kinds of fighters around, the other planes are military aircraft, only it is a civilian aircraft.
Many foreigners felt very novel, but they did not expect that such a civilian aircraft would be parked in the test flight base of the Huaxia military.
As soon as he thought about it, he immediately excluded this idea from his mind, because it was basically impossible, and it was impossible for people in the military to take such a plane, and they generally took military planes.
The Gulfstream G650 is generally the standard for the rich, and it is none other than a super-rich man here. This is really right, Wang Xudong is a rich man, this is his car.
The foreigners who got out of the car, in addition to taking a look at the neatly parked fighter plane in the distance, also took a look at Wang Xudong's Gulfstream G650 plane, and some people even guessed in their hearts what the identity of the owner of the plane was.
Of course, they were just guessing, and they didn't expect that the president of Xudong Mining Group was here. In their eyes, the mining group and the advanced military fighter should be two things that can't be beaten together with eight poles.
Under the guidance of the military personnel, these foreigners, a total of more than 100 people, got off the bus and entered the building to rest first, and when the test flight began, they would be invited out again to watch the test flight of our "Flying Dragon" fighter in the open-air viewing area.
Everything must obey the arrangements of the military, and you can't run around anywhere, let alone take pictures everywhere, because this is a military base of the Chinese military, and secrecy is very strict.
At this time, Wang Xudong had already finished breakfast.
Wang Xudong's treatment is naturally good, you can go to the airport to walk around and have a look, but these foreigners are absolutely not.
Accompanied and led by a major, Wang Xudong and the other four were visiting the airport, and Wang Xudong saw his Gulfstream G650 plane, which stood out from the crowd, and also saw all kinds of military planes parked in the distance.
"Brother Dong, look over there, there are at least two dozen fighters, which should be our main fighters in active service, let's go over and take a look."
Since he came here, Wang Xudong also wants to take a closer look at our active main fighter, this fighter currently provokes the girder of the Huaxia Air Force, with the largest number of equipment and good performance, and it is a little regrettable that it is only a third-generation fighter.
Fortunately, this fighter has now begun to replace with our domestic engine, which used to require imported engines, typical foreign cores, and now begins to replace with a new engine designed by Lin Yunwen, which has good performance and reliability because of the large number of special steel used by Sanlian Special Steel Group.
Wang Xudong said: "Major Li, can we take a look at those fighters?" ”
The major who accompanied him said, "Of course, I'll take you there." ”
The test flight base is too large, even this apron is very vast, not counting other places, it is obviously not possible to rely on walking, Major Li is driving an open-top military off-road.
The off-road vehicle drove towards those military planes, probably to facilitate the visit of Wang Xudong and others, and Major Li's speed was very slow and steady.
Liu Yu pointed to the distance and said, "Brother Dong, that's the viewing area, not only have the chairs been set up, but also the festive red carpet has been laid out." ”
Wang Xudong had already noticed the open-air viewing area, and chose the open-air area, probably to have a wider field of vision and more convenient for everyone to watch.
Wang Xudong said: "I heard that it started at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the time is still early, let's go and see the legendary military aircraft first." ”
Whether it is the main fighter in active service, or early warning aircraft, air tankers, or bombers, etc., Wang Xudong has never seen it up close, at most he has only seen it from TV or the Internet, and now the opportunity is so good that he can take a closer look at them, that must be to appreciate their majestic posture first, and then watch the test flight of our "Flying Dragon" fighter.
The off-road vehicle drove to this fighter parking area, and a total of more than 20 fighters were parked neatly, which was very spectacular and visually impactful.
"Wow, that's beautiful!"
All of a sudden, Liu Yu shouted happily, ran to one of the fighters in a hurry, posed a poss, and was about to shout, sister, take a photo of me, I want to take a photo with it, I want to send it to Moments.
The words were swallowed back as soon as they came to his mouth, Liu Yu himself smiled, this is a military base, you can't take pictures casually, Liu Yu can only resist the urge to take pictures.
Wang Xudong also walked over in a good mood, and looked around one of the fighters, "Xiaotong, look how beautiful it is!" ”
The appearance of this active fighter is very high, Wang Xudong thinks it is very eye-catching, who knows, Zheng Xiaotong said with a smile: "Brother Dong, this fighter is good, but I believe that our Flying Dragon fighter will definitely be more beautiful." ”
That's just as well.
Although Wang Xudong has not really seen the "Flying Dragon" fighter, but the technical information of the "Flying Dragon" fighter is from the "god-level big miner" system, Wang Xudong has seen the introduction of this fighter, has seen its pictures, in terms of appearance design, the "Flying Dragon" fighter is full of science fiction color, the design is very beautiful, it is simply a good look.
However, our active main fighter cannot be compared with the "Flying Dragon" fighter, if compared with the active main fighter of other countries, this aircraft is already very good.
Major Li introduced Wang Xudong to Wang Xudong, such as a few Jiazhen introduced the performance of this fighter, the main parameters and so on.
I also proudly said that this aircraft began to be replaced with our domestic engine, at the beginning, many pilots heard about the change of domestic engines, and their hearts beat drums, but when the real domestic engine was replaced, they simply couldn't believe it.
Replaced with a domestic engine of this fighter, not only did the comprehensive performance not decline, but also greatly improved, in the words of many pilots, that is, the engine is too strong, some of the previous to complete more difficult actions, now there is no problem.
Looking at this active main fighter, especially knowing that its engine uses a large number of special steel from Sanlian Special Steel Group, Wang Xudong has a strong sense of pride in his heart.
If there is no special steel of Sanlian Special Steel Group, this engine will not be so good, and whether it can be successfully developed needs to be put a big question mark.
"Brother Dong, that's our bomber!"
Liu Yu pointed to the distance, where several active bombers were parked, and Major Li said: "Yes, those are our active bombers, they are old-timers." ”
The word "old-timers" also tells the history of these bombers, which were developed in the 70s of the last century, and it has been almost half a century now.
On the other hand, it also shows that our bombers are not in good shape, and there is no new type of bomber to replace.
Major Li said: "This bomber is a little too old, it would be nice if there was a more advanced bomber to replace them." ”
Wang Xudong said: "There will definitely be, I don't think it will be too long." ”
Previously, Wang Xudong gave Peng Runwei a full set of technical information for a long-range strategic bomber, which is the best bomber in the world, with an ultra-long range that makes it have global strike capabilities, in addition, it has super stealth performance, huge bomb load and so on.
This bomber is already being manufactured in secret, and at this time, the first prototype should be about to roll off the assembly line, Wang Xudong thought in his heart.
There are a lot of planes parked here, and if you want to really take a closer look, it will take at least half a day, and it is almost 10 o'clock in the morning, and the test flight is already very fast.
Major Li proposed: "Chairman Wang, let's go to the viewing area first, and we can sit down." ”
Liu Yu was obviously a little reluctant, "Major Li, there is still a little time, there is an air tanker over there, I want to take a look." ”
Major Li said politely: "Mr. Liu, let's watch it again in the afternoon, before the test flight of the Flying Dragon fighter, we have an appetizer, you can't miss it." ”
Oh, and appetizers!
Even Wang Xudong's interest came up all of a sudden, and Liu Yu waved his hand and said: "Then don't look at it first, let's take a good look at the whole thing in the afternoon, and now let's go to the viewing area first." ”
Everyone got into the car one after another, and the open-top off-road vehicle drove towards the viewing area, and at this time, those foreigners also began to enter the viewing area.
In addition to foreigners, there are also many people in the military, as well as some people in the domestic aviation industry system, adding up to at least several hundred.
Wang Xudong also noticed that there were reporters from the official media who had already set up cameras, and thought to himself, could it be that there was no official report on this test flight.
"Brother Dong, look!"
Liu Yu shouted in surprise, at this time, many people looked towards a hangar not far away, only to see that the door of this hangar had been opened, and under the pull of the tractor, an aircraft covered with tarpaulin was slowly towed out.
Even if it is covered with a tarpaulin, everyone knows that this should be a fighter, and this is the "Flying Dragon" fighter that is about to make a test flight!
A burst of footsteps sounded, which attracted everyone's attention again, Wang Xudong also looked over, saw the scene in front of him, and thought in his heart, this is the so-called "appetizer" prepared by the military.
……..
The second one is sent!
That's all for today's update, thank you all for your support!
