Chapter 17: Grounding
Hearing that the plane had a problem and made a forced landing, not only did the people in the workshop put down their work in surprise and looked at the person who came to report the news. Even Yang Hui stopped and turned to look at the man in the workshop, hoping to get more news.
But obviously to disappoint everyone, the person who reported the news knew just now. After finishing speaking, he didn't say anything, and looked at Chief Master Yu.
Knowing that the matter was important, Chief Engineer Yu quickly called a few technicians and walked quickly outside the workshop.
"You're not gone yet?" Seeing that Yang Hui hadn't left yet, Chief Master Yu asked.
"Well, I heard that there was a problem with the plane just now, I am from the second institute, can we go and see it together" Yang Hui looked at Chief Master Wu eagerly, after all, Yang Hui was also very anxious when he heard the report just now that there was a problem with the plane.
"Well, Chief Master Yu, he is indeed from the Second Research Institute." Yang Yue listened and added.
"Well, let's keep along." Ignoring Yang Hui as he spoke, he quickly walked towards the truck that was pulling the plane outside.
Climb into the car and drive quickly towards the runway. There are very few cars in the factory, and the whole car keeps honking its horn, and it is even faster when it arrives, which is simply an airplane instead of a car. The speed is about to catch up with the drag racing party of the future.
With the sound of "squeak, squeak......" brakes, the people in the carriage fell to the ground.
The first one jumped out of the car, and what caught Yang Hui's eyes was a Jian-7 forced landing on the side of the runway, and the nose of the plane had already rushed out of the runway, because half of the tires that rushed into the soft lawn sank into the soil, and the landing gear was broken by the huge inertia when it encountered resistance, and the tires also exploded. The air intake slammed into the dirt, and the canopy looked like it was open normally, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the test pilot.
It is true that the test pilot was not injured, and the pilot in the flight suit in the group next to him should be the pilot, but he seems to be very depressed. Holding a helmet, he sat on the side of the runway more than ten meters away from the plane.
When he turned back and continued to see the back part of the plane, Yang Hui couldn't calm down.
The fire truck on one side has extinguished the fire, but the rear fuselage is still emitting green smoke, and from time to time there are sparks from short circuits in the wires.
The engine compartment in the rear of the fuselage has been torn open a large piece of skin, revealing the broken engine inside, and the flat tail on the left side has no idea where it has been flown to. The trailing edge flaps on the main wing were also hit with a mark, which looked a little deformed, and it should have been wiped out by the flat tail that had disappeared, but it should still be able to be manipulated and play some control role, otherwise it would be completely impossible to make a successful forced landing.
At this time, everyone got out of the car and looked at the shocking wreckage of the plane. Yes, it's the wreckage, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to repair the plane, and it's not cost-effective to repair it, and it seems that the only way to use it is to dismantle parts.
Many people are the first to eat and see this tragic appearance, and they can't speak. Yang Hui had seen a lot of flight accidents in the test flight yard in his previous life. Since the establishment of China's test pilot brigade 61 years ago, a total of 27 people have been sacrificed, and with those who have successfully made forced landings, one can imagine how many flight accidents there were. Although I am not used to this kind of scene, I can still maintain basic thinking.
"This test pilot is very heroic, he drove the plane back safely and made a forced landing, which is the most important thing." Yang Hui said lightly, unable to hear any feelings.
Chief Engineer Yu also took Yang Hui's words and said, "The engine is broken, the flat tail flies off the side, and it is a miracle that the plane can be controlled with difficulty and fly back." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the test pilot who was sitting on the side.
As the chief engineer of the aircraft and the test pilot, there are some inductions, because when the chief engineer sets his eyes on the test pilot, the test pilot also looks like the chief engineer. The eyes met, and both sides understood something in their hearts.
"The plane is like this, can it still fly back?" When Yang Yue saw this situation for the first time, her thinking was a little confused, and she looked stupid.
Walking over slowly to comfort him, Yang Hui said softly, "The planes have all flown back, here, do you say you can fly back." ”
Seeing Yang Hui coming, Yang Yue felt a kind of firmness, but found that she had asked such a mentally retarded question. Yang Yue was also a little embarrassed, and walked forward cheekily.
Seeing someone walking forward, several people who came with him came back to their senses and walked towards the crowd together.
At this time, the test pilot took off his gloves, put them in his helmet, put them on the grass by the runway, stood up and walked over to Chief Engineer.
"Chief Master Yu, I'll fly back the plane for you."
A sentence is worth a million words, and Chief Master Yu, who is over half a hundred years old, stretched out his hands and hugged the test pilot. Patting the test pilot on the back.
When the two let go, Chief Engineer Yu broke the silence, looked at the test pilot and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely find out what the problem is, and if I don't find out the problem, I will resolutely not let any plane go to the sky." ”
After speaking, Chief Master Wu turned around and walked towards the plane.
"Chief Master Yu, the plane is still dangerous now, and it may explode, just wait a minute." A person in charge of the scene next to him took Chief Wu's hand and persuaded him.
"What are you waiting for, you can't wait, report the situation to your superiors immediately, it seems that this is a big problem." You must not wait, it must be dealt with immediately, you let go.
After saying that, he grabbed his hand and walked towards the plane that was braving the arc without a little hesitation. Seeing that the fifty or sixty-year-old chief teacher was going to go over in person, the person next to him was immediately pulled back, and it was still quite dangerous to joke.
Yang Hui had already walked to the side of the plane at this time, looked at the plane, silently walked to the side of the toolbox brought by the car, bent down and lifted the box and walked towards the plane.
Chief Master Yu looked at Yang Hui in surprise. A staff member of the second institute I work so hard? It's a good seedling.
The box was placed on the ground, and he took out his tools and skillfully found the maintenance port to open it, and a smell of burning cables rushed out and turned into Yang Hui's nose.
Yang Hui frowned, he thought that the middle part of the fuselage should be better, but he didn't expect that the inside was still scorched, and it should have caught fire after the forced landing.
Chief Master Yu was still not at ease, but he could only ask from a distance, "How is it, how is it inside?" ”
"It was bad, there was a fire after the forced landing, and then the fire skewered into the middle of the fuselage. The wiring inside is all burned to a mess, so I'll take out the power supply first. Shaking his head, he put his hands inside the plane and began to clean up the burnt lines.
The people who came to the institute together began to get busy, some had to disassemble, some had to take pictures, and some had to hand tools to the side.
Yang Hui finally removed the wire on the last power supply and took out the power supply.
"Okay, now there will be no problem, you can handle the plane." Patting his dark hands, Yang Hui was relieved.
However, when he saw that the plane was full of people, he realized that he had said nonsense, and walked to the rear of the rear in a few steps.
Looking at the engine from the breach, the engine casing was also torn open, and the entire high-pressure compressor blades in the middle were all broken, thinking that the blades should have broken down the casing, and then the fuel supply pipe distributed on the surface of the casing was disconnected, and the fuel leakage caused an explosion.
This is simply a big problem, the engine compressor blades are quite dangerous to fall off, and there are quite a lot of possibilities to fall off, and it is not known how long it will take to find out. When the F15 was still the queen of the hangar, it was because the engine fell off the chain, and it was often the blades that broke the engine and broke through the casing, and in the end, Pratt & Whitney had to add a stronger engine cover to protect the aircraft, so as not to break the engine and damage the aircraft. This has been going on for years.
At the scene, Yang Hui alone knew more about the engine, and Chief Engineer Yu saw Yang Hui facing the engine in a daze, so he walked over, "This engine is a big problem?" ”
Yang Hui didn't want to say that he didn't understand anything at this time, he had to say it if he had ideas, and it was good to be able to communicate.
"Let's put it this way, this engine problem is obviously the key to the plane problem."
After so many years of old aviation people, it can still be seen that it is a problem with the engine. Shaking his head and sighing, "Hey, I think that's the reason, and it seems that it should be a problem with the compressor blades." ”
After listening to this, Yang Hui suddenly said firmly to the chief engineer, "Chief Yu, I don't know what the reason is for the engine this time, it may be that the blade manufacturing is unqualified, or it may be a design problem. So I suggest that I think about the proposal of my superiors and ground this batch of J-7B fighters equipped with turbojet 7B fighters. ”
Nodding, although Yang Hui does not have the right to report and ask for a grounding, but the chief engineer of the aircraft has it, and the chief engineer Yu approved Yang Hui's suggestion, and reincarnated to the on-site command, it seems that he is going to call to ask the air force to be grounded.
At this time, another truck came from the side of the airport, and Yang Hui fixed his eyes to see that it was Captain Zhang's car, and it seemed that Captain Zhang had also come.
With the sound of brakes, Captain Zhang jumped out of the car and walked towards the plane, but he was a little surprised to see Yang Hui, but he immediately reacted again, Yang Hui is from the second institute, and it is abnormal that such a big thing did not come here.
Looking at the wreckage of the plane, Captain Zhang put his hands on the wings, looking at the engine wreckage, he understood what was wrong with the plane.
"Comrade Yang Hui, can you see the problem? I don't understand, I'm just in charge of transportation, and just now this side has refused to accept the engine. Ask for a problem to be found out. ”
This kind of thing is normal, after all, such a big thing, who would dare to accept it, what if there is a problem with this batch of engines, it is the aircraft factory, although it can be repaired, but who knows at that time, it will not be accepted directly, so as to avoid trouble when the time comes.
Then came a flatbed truck and a crane, and it got dark. The crowd loaded the wreckage of the plane into trucks and transported it to the empty workshop. Wait for follow-up processing......
