At a time when all kinds of thinking about how to expand the Southwest Science and Industry to achieve zero breakthroughs in the field of carrier-based aircraft, the first JF-17 aircraft in the sky has flown back and forth several times, the scheduled first flight flight subjects have been completed, and the first flight test pilot is preparing to end this flight mission.

"Tower, this is 17001, I have successfully completed the first flight flight test subject, and I request a guided landing."

In fact, this is just a formality, the first flight of this kind of major event is known in the entire southwest science and industry, all the airports are cleaned up early in the morning, there will be no other aircraft here all day, plus the pilot at this time the plane has flown quite low, there is no problem at all to land without notification, the power of the test pilot after he flew the plane into the sky, everything is his final say.

The staff of the ground tower also knew this, and after a new landing data guidance, the aircraft entered the landing recovery stage.

Adjusting the height, angle, and aligning the runway landing route is still the familiar feeling of operation on the YZ-1.

The slightly raised nose is the standard entry action of the first three-point landing gear aircraft, and the on-board mission processor has displayed all the data required for the landing of the aircraft through two CRT displays, and the obvious data is very effective in helping the test pilot to understand all the data, and even complete instrument landing can be achieved through these (instrument landing: that is, blind landing, without looking at the reference outside the cockpit, and completing the landing according to the on-board data provided by the cockpit man-machine interface).

Now with these data, take-off and landing has become easier, the new arc windshield in the anti-optical distortion effect is much better than the previous first generation of arc windshield, its effect is enough to compete with the flat splicing three-piece windshield, which means that the current Republic of China production of circular windshield has surpassed the old three-piece windshield in terms of performance.

The old-fashioned three-piece windshield is not too demanding in terms of processing technology, and it is also excellent in the optical effect display on the front. However, the disadvantage is that the three-piece windshield will have a reinforced frame in the forward direction, blocking the pilot's effective field of vision.

As a result, there were various improvements in technology later, and the overall arc windshield was the best solution, which solved the reinforcing frame in front of the windshield, and even developed into an integrated design of the windshield and cockpit canopy.

This kind of lofty technology was first put into use on the F-16 of the US imperialists, and many fighters of the US imperialism after that switched to this technology. On the F-22, it can be said that it has developed to the point of reaching the peak, as for the F35, forget it!

However, now whether it is the Southwest Science and Industry, other units in the Republic, or even the Soviet Union on the other side of the Iron Curtain, it is actually not capable of taking this technical route, and now countries other than the United States imperialism can use the arc windshield is already at the advanced level of the country.

Of course, the arc windshield in the seventies and eighties is not in all places more than the three-piece windshield, at least the three-piece windshield in the optical transmittance is better, can more truly reflect the optical effect, compared with the arc windshield. It's a little inferior to it congenitally.

But fortunately, after continuous improvement, the arc windshield has successfully eliminated the old-fashioned three-piece windshield with its powerful advantage, which is the case on the JF-17, and the arc windshield manufactured by the new generation of technology has been able to achieve all aspects superior to the three-piece windshield.

The test pilot was ready for everything at this time, activated the sensory system of the whole body, and finally felt the friction between the rear wheels and the ground for the first time, maintained this contact and slid forward until the speed was reduced to the required speed. Only then did the nose press down, so that the front wheels could also land firmly on the ground.

There is nothing to see if the brakes in the back continue to slide. The only bright spot is that the JF-17 is used for carbon brake pads, and the braking effect has been greatly improved, so that the aircraft no longer needs to release the parachute during the ground taxiing stage during landing, and can directly complete rapid deceleration.

Without a parachute, it is possible to install an infrared decoy launcher where the parachute was originally installed, which is a very useful design in the close-quarters combat of modern air combat. With it, it is possible to significantly increase the chances of the aircraft getting rid of infrared-guided missiles.

These are the new technologies that JF-17 has used for the first time in China, so Yang Hui also explained in detail to the relevant leaders who visited the first flight, since we have used good things, we should publicize them, anyway, this is something to be sold to the outside world, and the level of secrecy is not too high.

Commander Liu could understand what Yang Hui said. He must have his own scale in his heart: "They are all very practical designs, and it can be seen that you have also put your heart into the design." However, what we should do now is to be happy and happy, and it is time to welcome our first flight hero. ”

Just between the words, the first aircraft has completed the task, in the first time there is its own front-line ground staff rushed forward, the ground supporting equipment has been the best that can be achieved now, even the older generation of power vehicles are all painted, refurbished, this is to do a good job of surface work.

Naturally, not all of the guests on these viewing platforms were qualified to go to the runway, only Yang Hui, the chief engineer of JF-17 and Commander Liu walked over, and there was also a young and beautiful female comrade holding a bouquet of flowers, which was also to be presented to the test pilot of the first flight.

These may seem unnecessary, but they are all the more necessary in this rather formal setting, and it is precisely these things that are in line with the international trend in the eyes of the gringos.

"Congratulations, the JF-17 completed its first flight under your pilot, and now you are the chief test pilot of the JF-17, and the burden on your shoulders will be heavier in the future, and the entire subsequent test flight work of the JF-17 will be managed by you. But now, you should be happy, the first flight means that you have made history. ”

After seizing the time to say a word, he took the equipment in the hands of the test pilot and held it in his hand, just so that the hero could free his hands to receive flowers and praise.

Looking at this young first flight test pilot, after thinking of the current situation of the company Southwest Science and Industry, naturally there is not too much surprise, this is where young people play, whether it is technology, management, workers, or the test pilot standing in front of them, they are all like this.

"Very good, the first flight work has really been done very well, I believe that the follow-up test flight work can continue like this, on behalf of the Navy, I would like to express my congratulations on the success of the first flight of the JF-17, and I would like to thank you."

The commander-in-chief of the military branches of the dignified country came to express his gratitude, which surprised the chief test pilot, who was not much older than Yang Hui.

Fortunately, the hands are holding the flowers in the arms, so that the hands and feet do not know where to put them, and as the first flight test pilot of the fighter with an extremely strong heart, his psychological quality is indeed not covered, and after thinking about it for a while, he quickly adjusted his mood.

"The successful completion of this first flight is due to the excellent design of the design team, the full support of the processing and manufacturing units, and the full cooperation of other ground staff. However, please rest assured that I will do my best to complete the test flight work in the follow-up test flight work until the JF-17 fighter is finally finalized. (To be continued.) )
