The first flight of the air police 100 is also scheduled to be carried out in the morning, when the tractor pulls the plane out, everyone sees it at first glance is quite spectacular, this big guy is equipped with four engines, the fuselage is on top of a big mushroom, the relevant data has been obtained before, the diameter of this plate has reached 8.6 meters, compared with the early air police No. 1 diameter of 7 meters of the radome is much larger, at least in the diameter of the radome has reached the same level as the E-2 early warning aircraft.

Of course, the diameter of 8.6 meters is actually about to reach the 9.16 meters of the E-3 early warning aircraft, although there are still some gaps, but in fact, it is not a big problem, and there is no requirement for the air police 100 to achieve the performance of the E-3 early warning aircraft, as long as it can slightly exceed the E-2C, it is enough.

Due to the huge radome installed on the aircraft this time, the early experience of the Air Police 1 told the design team that it was also very necessary to install a lightweight version of the small vertical tail made of composite materials at each end of the flat tail of the H-6, and in the later wind tunnel tests, it was indeed proved that this was a correct design.

As the plane continued to be towed by the tractor to the take-off point, the big guy finally stopped in front of everyone, the first flight of the Air Police 100 because there was no airborne radar system, to put it bluntly, it was actually a test of the new aerodynamic design, so this aircraft is essentially not much different from the bombing oil six, and it is naturally difficult to arouse the interest of the high-level, just some ordinary staff of the Air and Navy Equipment Department.

And Yang Hui is actually happy to be idle, what's the point of coming too many big people, not only is it quite troublesome at that time, but it also makes everyone under great pressure, and there must be some negative effects on the first flight work, and it is still very good to make the first flight in this situation.

It's not so easy to fly the big guy like the bomb six, the first flight fighter only needs one pilot to get it, and the first flight of the MPC-75 because of the advanced on-board avionics, so only two pilots are used, but this time the air police 100 is very different.

At the time of the development of the bomb oil six, although the domestic avionics equipment has made some progress, but it is only limited to fighter jets and the like, and there is still not much achievement in the development of avionics equipment for this large aircraft, so it still continues the avionics design scheme of the old bomb six, and the air police 100 also did not have time to improve these, but this is not a big problem, and it is generally bearable.

Therefore, standing in front of Yang Hui, the crew members who were naturally going to make the first flight, a total of two navigators, two pilots, and a radio communicator, which was one less tail gun operator than the old H-6, and the design of the tail gun was abandoned when the H-6 was bombed, and the same position was changed to install infrared decoy bombs.

Overall, although many parts of this aircraft are not very advanced, but it is at least the only one that can meet the current needs of a 100-ton large aircraft, the aircraft is equipped with four improved turbofans with a thrust of 6 tons 9 is still quite powerful, and the abundant power is also the reason for choosing to use the bomb oil six as the early warning aircraft platform, after all, this early warning aircraft is also an absolute power consumer, and these power supplies are naturally squeezed out of the four engines.

After shaking hands one by one, the first aircraft crew did not have much psychological pressure, at least the aircraft was improved on the basis of the bombing of oil six, and the entire crew of the bombing of oil six times is definitely a lot, and finally under the leadership of the captain, the members also strode into the plane, and then each went to their own work to prepare.

It is quite troublesome for the 100-ton large aircraft to take off, but fortunately, the crew members are all veteran drivers, and under the command of the captain, the first thing is the auxiliary power system start, which will provide the aircraft with a preliminary power supply for the whole aircraft system inspection.

After each crew member has checked everything in their charge, they will report the results to the captain through the internal communication system of the aircraft, and after confirming that they are correct, they will use the auxiliary power system to start engines 2 and 3 (the two engines close to the fuselage) again, and then start the other two engines 1 and 4 respectively.

When all four engines have finished starting, the whole airport can faintly hear some low roars, this is the purest industrial force, although it is a little older, but Lian Po is still the same, as long as enough fuel, it can still go straight to the sky.

Although it is not as good as going to the moon for nine days, but when this early warning aircraft is really completed, with a powerful airborne early warning system, there is still no big problem in commanding dozens of fighters to go rampant, the captain once again checked the power system, and the co-pilot also checked the control feedback of the movable rudder surface, everything is ready.

"Tower, tower, the first aircraft group of the No. 01 AWACS aircraft is ready, everything is normal, please take off! Repeat"

Although the No. 01 crew has been prepared, the tower does not plan to release it immediately, because there are other flight missions scheduled in front of them.

"The tower receives, please continue to stand by and wait for instructions!"

After confirming the order again with the tower, the captain of No. 01 was also inexplicably strange at this time, what else was there to do at this time? It shouldn't be!

When I was strange in my heart, I saw the two Jianjiao 7A combat training planes in front of me, one left and one right, taxied from the taxiway to the take-off runway, and the two planes, one in front and one behind, completed the take-off action and climbed in height, and after each went around for half a circle, they flew to the low altitude behind the No. 01 early warning aircraft at the take-off point of the airport, flying at the slowest speed under the condition of ensuring safety.

At this time, of course, he knew what these two planes were for, and after the captain smiled, he was about to ask to take off again, but the command from the tower came from the headset.

"Test Aircraft 01, allowed to take off, I wish you success"

After receiving the news, the captain immediately gave an order among the crew members, and began to take off himself, some preliminary actions have been completed, first of all, the brake brake was released, and at this time, even if the engine was only idling, the plane still began to slowly taxi forward.

The flight and take-off of a large aircraft is completely different from the flight of a fighter jet, and the feeling of "flat and stable" is still very good, but since it is a take-off, then it is not enough to rely on the thrust of the engine idling.

At this time, the captain held the throttle with his right hand, looked at the engine thrust gauge, and steadily pushed the throttle to 40% of the engine thrust.

After another check, knowing that everything was not a problem, the captain's right hand held the throttle stick again, and the engine thrust continued to push from 40% to the maximum, and then it will run according to the maximum predetermined thrust, and output a large amount of high-temperature gas, pushing the plane to taxi at high speed.

As the taxiing speed became faster and faster, the crew had already faintly felt that the plane had a floating feeling, as if the gravitational pull on the ground was no longer enough to be the constraint of this behemoth, and the plane was still accelerating and sliding past the take-off break point, which meant that take-off was imperative.
