"Look, look over there, the new plane is out."

The performance team in front of them has just landed, and the eager audience has carefully inspected the planes preparing to take off on the runway.

The luckiest one was the first to see the gliding F/T-7A, and then subconsciously said out loud what he saw, guiding the other tourists.

With the guidance of the voice, everyone turned their heads to the F/T-7A that was sliding, if their eyes could fix something, then the F/T-7A that Zhang Tao was driving now must be on the spot.

But this is not the case, in the face of the blazing eyes of all the spectators, Zhang Tao increased the throttle, the engine thrust increased again, and accelerated to slide forward. In the eyes of all, the dashing lever took off.

The planes are getting closer and closer to the auditorium, and they can see without the aid of a telescope, and those who continue to hold bulky telescopes will naturally have their gains.

Brand new aircraft, brand new livery, which has never appeared before, when the plane has not been pulled up, I saw the red paint at the nose, this paint is very dazzling, it is definitely the most suitable for use at the air show, and it is also in line with the identity of the manufacturer of this aircraft: Red Huaguo.

And when this plane was pulled up, it was completely different.

"Look, the underside of this aircraft is all painted in green, and it seems that the rumors that the investors of this aircraft have Islamic backgrounds are unmistakable. The combination of green and red, it's a whole new combination, but why don't I feel glaring at all? ”

His eyes and binoculars were closely intertwined, and his mouth kept sighing, and anyone within more than ten meters of the vicinity could hear this person's words. I feel that this person is more suitable to be a commentator here, or an anchor.

However. Not everyone is a professional aviation fan, military fan, and soon some people ask questions.

"Why do you say that? Could it be that this aircraft was jointly developed by China and some Islamic country? It stands to reason that a country like China, which attaches great importance to the secrecy system, will not accept foreign investment in the development of military aircraft, right? ”

As soon as he said this, he attracted a burst of disdain from everyone, such a guy came to see the air show, it is not your fault for ignorance, but if you ask such an ignorant question, that is, you are grandstanding, which is absolutely unbearable.

Fortunately, the female aviation fan who came with me is more enthusiastic, and she looks like a girlfriend, so let's simply popularize science. lest this person be embarrassed to himself in the future.

"Listen, this aircraft was officially exhibited at the last Farnborough Air Show, when Pakistan and Saudi Arabia placed large orders, and the confirmed orders should now be more than 50 aircraft, and the intended orders are probably more than 100 aircraft. At the time, it was rumored that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were among the developers of the aircraft. ”

After listening to this introduction, the boyfriend finally remembered something and said excitedly.

"I remembered the India-Pakistan conflict off the coast of Pakistan at the beginning of this year. That's what it should have been. Dialogue on the international radio public channel. I recorded the whole thing. ”

That's right, this is an avid wireless enthusiast, and the conversation on the international radio channel that was widely circulated at the time was overheard and recorded by this person.

Now that I think about it, I understand. It is entirely possible that the plane conducting the air show was the same Pakistani fighter plane at that time.

I'm so excited, I can see that legendary fighter now, so should this plane have a record? After all, the Sea Harrier was also forced by this plane to be the last plane to be destroyed and killed.

Just when he was puzzled, he didn't see the green eyes next to him. It's typical of seeing something good, exactly the same as a wolf seeing meat.

Someone immediately asked excitedly. As for his disdain just now, he has long forgotten about it.

"Brother, can you give me a copy of the tape you recorded? I'll pay a lot of money to buy it, and you can just make an offer. ”

This is the first-hand voice of the Indian Navy pilots who publicly surrendered in the international arena, which is absolutely rare, and the Indian government has spent a lot of effort to block this tape, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to find this recording now, a godsend.

Needless to say, the others had the same purpose, and they were all excited. I don't know if everyone got what they wanted, and now the air show in the sky is the time to fly to the most classic.

A supersonic combat trainer doing a flight show is much better than the performance of those subsonic aircraft. Not to mention the conventional subjects of circling and climbing at large elevation angles, the single-plane flight performance naturally has some special features.

What is going on is a circling stunt, of course, just a simple circling performance, and there is no need for everyone below to shout hoarse.

The main and most common part of the air show is some relatively simple flying stunts, which no longer have much significance in the eyes of aviation fans who have been involved in air shows for many years.

But now it is different, and now the test plane piloted by Zhang Tao is appropriate, or it should be called a special air show aircraft.

Before coming to the exhibition, because the turbojet 7 engine used now has insufficient thrust, some of the excess equipment on the aircraft was unloaded, and the weight of the aircraft was reduced as much as possible.

The thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole plane has gone up, and now Zhang Tao is challenging the space stunt project combining somersaults and circling, which is more than one grade stronger than the horizontal plane and plumb plane stunts. Going from 2D to 3D is a great breakthrough.

As the name suggests, diagonal somersault is that while circling, Zhang Tao also has to do somersault movements, which is a compound flight performance action.

In this way, the audience below saw an unexpected scene, while circling, the plane actually started a somersault again, which everyone did not expect.

"See, the stunt just now has completely surpassed the ordinary plumb plane and horizontal plane stunts, and the hovering and somersault are fused, which is simply a stroke of genius. Such a stunt not only requires excellent aircraft performance, but the level of this pilot is probably not low. ”

And when Zhang Tao finished the diagonal somersault action, the whole person seemed to collapse.

The reason why aerobatics is getting more and more difficult is because at this time it is not only a test of the performance of the aircraft, but also a big test of the pilot's physical fitness, which is already a thorough physical work.

Leaning on the seat, Zhang Tao recalled that the action just now was still a little frightened, if it wasn't for the new American load-resistant suit in this flight show, if it wasn't for the extra ten degrees of the seat tilt angle before coming this time, I am afraid that I really would not be able to do such a vivid action.

Lying on the seat, resting for a while, and waiting for his strength to recover Zhang Tao did two ordinary stunts, and then prepared to land.

On the one hand, there is not much fuel for air shows, and on the other hand, the pilot's physical exertion is too large, which must be considered, and high-intensity aerobatic performances must not be sustained, one after another.

Seeing the plane ready to land, the audience on the ground was still unsatisfied.

It is indeed not easy to see a supersonic aircraft doing aerobatic performance, and it is even more rare to see a space stunt such as a diagonal somersault.

"I saw that the plane had landed, and now I realized that this painting seems to be very interesting, and the proportion of the red painting area and the green painting area is also very exquisite."

Of course, there is exquisiteness, 25% of the red paint area and 75% of the green area designed by Yang Hui are the same as the investment ratio of all parties in the Jianjiao 7A.

After the flight show in the outfield, the plane landed safely, and the situation in the exhibition hall was also in full swing.

The cooperation between the Southwest Aviation Science and Industry Joint Corporation from China and the Northrop Corporation of the United States on the advanced light fighter project shocked all the participating aviation manufacturers and military and political delegations of various countries.

The CF-7 (NATO code name Super VII) equivalence model on the booth is a realization of the news at the Farnberg Air Show last year: the single-seat combat version of the Coach 7A. (To be continued......)
