"This is the No. 01 plane, after flying out of the turbulence area, the situation is normal, the situation is normal, and our plane will continue to perform flight test missions."

That's what the radio says, but this first flight has completed the planned flight mission, and some unreasonable design schemes have also been found, although the turbulent aircraft will be difficult to control no matter what the model, but this time the first plane is obviously different, it seems that you need to add two pelvic fins to go back, and the role of the two small hanging tails is not enough.

After having a plan in his heart, of course, he made a decision: "The mission is completed smoothly, return to the airport to land, your plane will land first, and the accompanying plane will follow." ”

When all three planes landed safely, the pilots at this time quietly stepped off the plane, and the crew who could arrange to carry out the first flight test did not know how many times they had experienced strong winds and waves.

"Deputy Chief Engineer Nie, you must know the situation, it's not a big deal, our crew has flown in this kind of weather I don't know how many times, I hope you can solve this small problem as soon as possible, and we are still waiting to continue the test flight work."

The crew members of the first plane this time also flew from the west with the plane, and an inherent tacit understanding has long been formed with Deputy Chief Engineer Nie.

After roughly arranging the follow-up situation, naturally there are ground staff responsible for arranging the three aircraft, for example, an engineer immediately gets on the plane to collect and recover the various test numbers on the aircraft, and prepares to conduct a detailed analysis to help the problem be quickly solved later.

Although Yang Hui wanted to express his condolences, the flight crew and design team over there didn't seem to care too much about these: "Mr. Yang, I think it's okay!" Although the first flight flew back safely, but after all, there was still a little problem, if we don't solve it quickly, we will definitely not be able to eat this celebration wine, and hope to be able to keep this wine for us, and when it is finalized, we will have a good time. ”

After finishing speaking, Deputy Chief Engineer Nie walked aside with the crew members to study the situation in detail, but this kind of problem should actually be relatively simple, roughly as the aerodynamic engineer on the Jianjiao 7A companion plane predicted just now, it is nothing more than adding two ventral fins to solve the problem, but it is just necessary to study the size of the pelvic fins, camber angle, and installation position.

It's probably the easiest first flight ever, but it's definitely a very meaningful first flight, isn't it good to be able to find a problem on the first first flight and fly back safely?

Even Wang Xiaomo, the chief engineer of the early warning aircraft project, smiled in the face of this situation: "Although I am not specialized in aircraft fuselage design, but where can there be no problems in engineering projects, I can quickly find the cause of the problem, and come up with qualified and usable solutions, anyway, the early warning radar system is not in a hurry to install it on the aircraft, and our radar system has only been tested for a long time, and there are often problems." ”

Although there is only one production line of JF-17 lightning fighter in the Aviation Industrial Zone, there is still the last 20 orders for the J-74 and J-72-in-one assembly line in the Anshun ravine, and the test flight station over there has been a large number of equipment and personnel relocation, and the aircraft is the first time to fly to the new test flight station here in Guiyang for detailed factory delivery test flight.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the test flight station is still so busy, and the six new lightning planes that have lifted the tarp in the distance have been neatly arranged there, this is the last time the 35th Division took over the first batch of six lightning fighters, the subsequent lightning of the year, and after the last few test flight subjects are completed, these six planes will also be delivered to the troops before the Lunar New Year, so this is all time passing in a hurry!

The J-18 Chief Engineer Sun on the side also came to watch the first flight, knowing that the first flight of the No. 01 prototype of the Air Police 100 was not very smooth, in fact, there was still a little relief in his heart, and then he felt ridiculous for his own thoughts, and only then sighed helplessly, thinking that Xiaobai and Xiaohei in their hearts were arguing fiercely!

After walking all the way, Yang Hui couldn't help but ask first: "By the way, have the J-18 power system failures been determined before?" I think it's been nearly half a month! ”

As for the time, Mr. Sun has been calculating almost every day: "It has indeed been 16 days since the time the problem was discovered, but we have determined the specific fault this time and are also working to solve the problem." Probably the industry is what we guessed before, and now after contacting the 2 institutes, they said that they can cooperate with us to complete the troubleshooting work, and about two months later, that is, in early February next year, we will be able to organize the joint debugging test of the whole machine again, and strive to complete the first flight in late February.

Hearing such explanations, Yang Hui himself was quite happy, at least proving that he still had a brush, probably barely able to be regarded as a technocrat, so he was quite satisfied with himself, thinking that all these years have been made results, although various plans are inevitably a little bumpy, but they are all steadily advancing.

Walking along the runway outside the airport, I rubbed my temples vigorously, and felt that it still had some effect: "That's good, then let's wait for the first flight in two months!" At that time, it will definitely be carried out smoothly, and according to the plan, the No. 1803 test aircraft should be off the assembly line at that time, so the follow-up test flight work should be relatively fast. It's better to try to be finalized and delivered in 95 or 96, and the progress of the 10th is also very good, and the first batch of aircraft will be delivered to the trial base for flight testing at the end of 94. ”

In fact, this can be regarded as an invisible increase in some pressure to the J-18 project team here, but Yang Hui does not have too many ways, in order to be able to catch up with the time to show a wave, the technical team here can only work harder, and what Yang Hui can do is probably to prepare sufficient funds, increase the wages and invisible benefits of the employees of the unit, after all, we are also the first aviation manufacturing unit in China, and we can't be too stumbling.

Of course, Chief Engineer Sun is also aware of the current situation, not to mention anything else, at least this time the procurement of 120 Mirage 2000-5 across the strait has released a very strict signal, maybe there will be a situation soon, so everyone can't hurry up.

"Mr. Yang, don't worry, although we have postponed the first flight time of 18 by three months this time, we will definitely arrange the test flight work scientifically in the future, and we will catch up with the progress." (To be continued.) )
