With the full cooperation of all units, the entire first flight was finally ready before the first flight, and the No. 17001 test aircraft lived up to the forgetfulness without any mistakes and successfully completed the engine start-up work.

The follow-up development is carried out step by step, the first flight, to put it bluntly, is actually like that, as long as the foreplay is done enough, it is logical to follow the back.

Even the first flight of the main force of the United States imperialism F16 was not a planned node, at that time the F-16 was still conducting a ground taxi test, suddenly, there was a strong crosswind in the entire test flight field, which frightened the entire F-16 test flight team, after a strong crosswind blew directly the test plane left and right out of balance, if it continued to taxi on the ground according to the original plan, the plane would be blown over.

At this critical moment, the test pilot of the F-16 directly pulled the lever to fly the plane, and although it was also affected by crosswinds after leaving the ground, at least it would not be blown over in the air and collide with the ground, which eventually led to an accident.

That's it, the first time the F-16 was handed over in such an emergency.

So, as long as your aircraft is well designed, you really don't have to worry too much about the first flight.

At this time, the test pilot is actually not the first time to fly this type of fighter to take off, with the previous modification of the YZ-1 demonstration aircraft test flight experience, the test pilot's nervousness is greatly reduced, when the aircraft ground taxiing distance, speed to meet the requirements.

Almost subconsciously, the take-off action was completed, without any sense of dragging mud and water, and the elevation angle of the aircraft when climbing altitude was not too large. But it was definitely a decent performance, as the plane flew to the take-off altitude. At this time, it was changed to level flight again.

"Well, the short take-off aircraft is so good. First of all, it surprised us, even if it is changed and used on aircraft carriers, I am afraid there will be no problems. ”

Brazil, as the biggest beneficiary of the JF-17 project except for the Republic, did not hesitate to put on the name of the aircraft carrier in order to describe the excellent short-distance take-off and landing performance of this fighter.

The most rare thing is that the Brazilian side's expression is in place, even Yang Hui and Commander Liu were framed, especially Commander Liu made all kinds of thoughts at this moment, and it was also rare to YY, this aircraft can really be changed into a carrier-based aircraft?

I don't know if it can be changed to a carrier-based aircraft, anyway, Yang Hui knows that it doesn't make much sense to use this aircraft to change to a carrier-based aircraft now. Originally, this was an aircraft that won by cost performance, and there were many limitations in many places, the most typical being that there was no engine with enough thrust.

Fundamentally speaking, the current turbofan 10A is still a little inferior to the previous face Thunder using RD-33 in terms of thrust, that is, it has reached the level of the early F404 model, but there are also gains, at least in terms of engine size, it is much smaller, even a little shorter than the F-404, and the vacated airframe space can be used to fill with fuel. Therefore, the Thunder Dragon of this plane is much stronger in terms of range.

"Commander, don't think about it. I'll tell you the truth, now there is no need to change this aircraft to a carrier-based fighter, although the turbofan 10 engine can barely allow this aircraft to take off and land on an aircraft carrier. However, it is certainly impossible to carry much combat load, and it has no meaning in such a category as an aircraft carrier combat aircraft that relies on quality to win. ”

Yang Hui looked very open. If you really want to change this aircraft into a combat aircraft, you will have to make a major change. The first thing that moves is the engine.

It was necessary to change the turbofan 10A to the turbofan 12 engine under development, followed by the mismatch of the intake tracts of the turbofan 10 and turbofan 12 engines. For this you need to modify the design of the air intake, and to expand the air intake, you need to move the fuselage design, and then

Commander Liu, who was still a little hot-headed just now, also understood at this time, just as Yang Hui said, it is really unrealistic to change the turbofan 12 into a combat aircraft, he should be too obsessed with the aircraft carrier, and he should be too obsessed with the aircraft carrier, and it is a damn Yankee who invited him to see what aircraft carrier, since that visit, the aircraft carrier has become his own demon-like existence.

Thinking about the current economic situation in the country, the annual military investment, and even the state allows the army to provide foreign services for a fee, it is simply impossible to expect the state to invest funds for the development of aircraft carriers.

"This is just like you said, we definitely can't do this kind of thing as an aircraft carrier now, but you can get in touch with Brazil, doesn't Brazil have an aircraft carrier, if you can really get a research and development contract from Brazil, it can be regarded as borrowing chickens and eggs to train you the research and development capabilities of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, which we still have to support."

Hearing this, Yang Hui, who was originally going to laugh at it, had some thoughts, Brazil does have an aircraft carrier, and now Brazil's aircraft carrier is quite interesting, as a light aircraft carrier born in the flames of World War II, when Brazil purchased it from Britain in 56, it was additionally equipped with a steam catapult and a beveled deck, and people can properly catapult fixed-wing combat aircraft.

Moreover, this aircraft carrier has undergone another major overhaul in the previous 91 year, adding new aircraft haul control radars, electronic equipment, combat data systems, and communication systems, and even the generators and boilers have been updated and replaced, which is definitely at the level of major surgery.

The new aircraft carrier after the operation is equipped with an A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft, which must be the same level as the JF-17 in terms of weight, and can catapult the Skyhawk attack aircraft, an attack aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 22 tons, so do you still have to worry about the JF-17?

As for the problem of the engine, the turbofan 10 engine is indeed not enough to ensure that the aircraft takes off with heavy loads, but it is Yang Hui's inertial thinking based on the inertial thinking caused by the leaping take-off route taken by the previous person in the republic.

The more I think about it, the more reliable it feels, the Brazilian side proposed the word aircraft carrier carrier at this time itself can be regarded as a signal, and then think of the previous face Brazil's aircraft carrier overhaul plan in 91, it seems that this matter is promising.

First of all, the JF-17 that the A-4 can do can do almost everything, and the A-4 that the JF-17 can do may not be competent, such as medium-range missile launch and guidance capabilities, and the mainstream subsonic sea-skimming anti-ship missile launch, these are all capabilities that the A-4 can only covet, not to mention the JF-17's own job: air-to-air combat capabilities.

It can be said that as long as the JF-17 develops a carrier-based aircraft model, it will definitely be used on light aircraft carriers such as the Minas Gerais aircraft carrier in Brazil, so that the Giant-class aircraft carriers produced in World War II can have strong combat capabilities under the conditions of modern naval warfare.

From then on, it will never be a problem for the Brazilian Navy to stabilize its surface combat capability in the world for the first thirteen or ten years, that is, I don't know if the Brazilian side has this idea.

We can't just see the advantages but not look at the disadvantages, first of all, we must consider that Brazil has only such an aircraft carrier, and the rated carrier-based aircraft is only 24, and this is still the number of carrier-based helicopters, in fact, this light aircraft carrier with a full displacement of less than 20,000 tons can carry only 12 fixed-wing combat aircraft, and the A-4 attack aircraft carried by the last Brazilian aircraft carrier is only this number.

At this time, think about it, is it really necessary for Brazil to allocate funds for the research and development of carrier-based aircraft for these twelve, no more than twenty (counting shore-based backup) carrier-based aircraft orders?

This point is indeed still up for debate, as for whether Southwest Science and Industry has the technical ability to develop carrier-based aircraft, this must also be something that the Brazilian side needs to consider.

Yang Hui has a way to come up with a finished carrier-based aircraft modification within three to four years, this kind of plan Yang Hui knows, but why do people in Brazil believe you, just because you are more handsome? (To be continued.) )
