Chapter 590: The J-18 fighter's first flight!

No. 2 assembly workshop.

The huge gate slowly opened, and the J-30 fighter slowly drove out of the workshop under the traction of the tractor, all the way to the airport runway.

The airport is adjacent to the No. 1 and No. 2 assembly workshops, and there is a barbed wire fence several meters high in the middle, one side of the guardrail is the airport, and the other side is the No. 1 and No. 2 assembly plants side by side.

The J-30 fighter was parked on the runway, a refueling truck and several airport ground staff came over to fill up the fighter's fuel, and a pilot who had been ready for a long time was ready to go.

After the fuel was filled, the refueling truck left, and the pilot boarded the J-30 fighter, Zhao Jixian did not think that he was so honored, not only did he perform a series of test flight missions of the J-30 fighter before, but today, he will carry out the delivery of the first J-30 fighter.

Boarding the J-30 fighter, the cockpit canopy of the fighter was slowly closed, Zhao Jixian checked it a little, saw that everything was normal, and through the cockpit canopy, he made an "OK" gesture to the crowd in the distance, and also reported the situation to the airport command center by radio.

In the distance, it was Minister Ma, Li Tianfeng, Zhang Haiping and a large group of people, everyone looked at this J-30 fighter, ready to watch this J-30 fighter take off with their own eyes.

You can take off!

After receiving the order from the command center, Zhao Jixian skillfully started the engine, the two turbofan 25B engines on the fighter worked, and the J-30 fighter moved slowly on the runway, and then, the speed became faster and faster.

This time, instead of using vertical take-off and landing, it was a conventional take-off, and the J-30 fighter was getting faster and faster, and everyone's eyes were always following this J-30 fighter. Until the J-30 fighter left the runway and successfully lifted off.

Seeing the J-30 fighter put away the landing gear and gradually moved away, everyone couldn't help but applaud one after another, until the fighter completely disappeared into the distance, and the applause gradually stopped.

Minister Ma said: "Mr. Li." Thank you for your contribution to national defense construction, and now I announce that the first J-30 fighter was successfully delivered! ”

Seeing the fighter far away, Li Tianfeng was also happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Minister Ma, this is the first J-30 fighter, and there will be a second and third soon." Our goal is to complete the delivery of four J-30 fighters before the New Year, after the New Year, the delivery of J-30 fighters will be on the right track, in the first half of the year, the delivery of J-30 fighters per month should be five or six, and in the second half of the year and beyond, the delivery of J-30 fighters will definitely be more than 10 per month! ”

More than 10 planes per month!

A very exciting and joyful number. Although Minister Ma has long known that the J-30 fighter has entered mass production, the monthly delivery volume is not less than 10 aircraft. But now that Li Tianfeng said it again, Minister Ma's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Several military generals next to him nodded to each other, their eyes were full of joy, obviously. Everyone is very satisfied with the delivery of 10 aircraft per month.

Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, the J-30 fighter has begun to be officially delivered, and the J-18 fighter will also make its first flight, not long after." Our military will not only be equipped with J-30 fighters, but also a large number of J-18 fighters. ”

The J-18 fighter, the third-generation fighter, is priced at $30 million for the military, which is very cost-effective and inexpensive.

Li Tianfeng said: "Next year, we will be able to install J-18 fighters in a large area, and the output of this fighter will definitely be much higher than the monthly output of J-30 fighters." ”

Next year, the second phase of the Chengnan base project will be completed and put into use, and Tianfeng Technology Company can fully produce and manufacture J-30 and J-18 fighters, and the monthly output of J-18 fighters will definitely be several times the output of J-30 fighters.

Minister Ma said happily: "At that time, we will have the J-30 in the fourth-generation aircraft and the J-18 in the third-generation aircraft, which is exciting to think about!" ”

Zhang Haiping said: "Yes, and they are all the kings of fighters, the kings of the J-30 fourth-generation fighters, and the kings of the J-18 third-generation fighters." ”

Several military generals next to him, everyone also thought in their hearts that the J-30 fighters and J-18 fighters are equipped with J-30 fighters, whether they are the air force or the navy, their strength must have jumped several steps.

This J-30 fighter was delivered to the military, the fighter had already gone away, and soon after, from the No. 2 assembly plant, under the traction of the tractor, the J-18 fighter was also slowly towed out......

……

The J-30 fighter is kept secret, and the user delivery of the first official fighter is also relatively low-key, and what is known is limited to the military and Tianfeng Technology Company, while the J-18 fighter is much more high-profile.

The J-18 fighter, without an export ban, is a commercial fighter that can be widely exported, and the first one assembled by Tianfeng Technology Company is an export-oriented prototype.

As for the military-specific J-18 fighter, it is classified as a secret and its performance parameters are ominous, and it is certainly better and more advanced than the comprehensive performance of the export-oriented J-18 fighter.

Just like the American F16 fighter, there are export versions, and there are also special versions for the US military, the export version is equivalent to a simple version, while its military-specific version is much better and more powerful.

The basic performance parameters of the export type of the J-18 fighter are familiar to many people, even if it is only the export type, but its performance parameters are also very good.

The excellent J-18 fighter has always been the object of everyone's attention and pursuit, whether it is at home or abroad, and there are also very fans.

There are several foreign users of the J-18 fighter, such as Pakistan, Argentina, such as a major oil country in the Middle East, and so on.

Everyone has been paying attention to the J-18 fighter, and today, on the official website of Tianfeng Technology Company, everyone unexpectedly found that there are many pictures of the J-18 fighter, which are no longer 3D color pictures drawn by the computer before, but physical photos.

In one of the photos, the J-18 fighter is quietly parked on the airport runway, the main body of the photo is the J-18 fighter, and the background is the official website of Tianfeng Technology Company.

On the website, there are not only photos, but also Tianfeng Technology Company announced that it will publicly conduct the first test flight!

The first flight of the J-18 fighter!

It's still a public test flight!

Suddenly, many people became excited, and their hearts were also active, since it was a public test flight, can they watch the first flight of the J-18.

The first flight of the J-18 fighter will surely attract worldwide attention!

There are not a few people who want to come to Tianfeng Technology Company Airport to watch the first flight of the J-18 fighter, not to mention the domestic, many foreign people want to come and take a look.

These foreign personages include not only people from the major aviation industry circles, but also quite a few military personages, and even many people from military and political circles of various countries who want to buy Jian-18 fighters.

Tianfeng Technology Company issued an announcement on the official website, informing everyone that the website will accept everyone's application, and all applicants can fill in the detailed application information, and after the review and approval of Tianfeng Technology Company, they can visit the first flight of the J-18 fighter.

There are also some people who will be invited by Tianfeng Technology Company to come and visit the first flight of the J-18 fighter.

These people who can receive invitations are certainly not simple people, not people who have a certain reputation and influence in the aviation industry, or people from the military and political circles of various countries, and so on.

As soon as Tianfeng Technology Company was announced, a large number of people paid attention to the website of Tianfeng Technology Company, and as soon as the application was opened, a large number of people submitted application materials, which was very popular.

In the office.

Li Tianfeng is receiving a call from Zhang Haiping from the capital, a few days ago, Zhang Haiping accompanied Minister Ma to Tianfeng Technology Company, it is estimated that in a few days, he will come to Tianfeng Technology Company.

Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, the J-18 fighter made its first flight, and I will definitely come over." ”

Li Tianfeng and Zhang Haiping had an excellent relationship, so he naturally called Zhang Haiping directly and invited Zhang Haiping to come over to watch the first flight of the J-18 fighter, but Zhang Haiping was also very cheerful and agreed directly.

There were many military personalities invited to participate, but Li Tianfeng only personally called Mr. Wei and told Mr. Wei that Mr. Wei and military personnel were invited to visit the first flight of the J-18 fighter.

Li Tianfeng said with a smile: "Minister Zhang, I haven't had time to communicate with you in detail last time about the design of our future large military transport aircraft, and after visiting the first flight of the J-18 fighter this time, we have a good exchange." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Haiping was overjoyed, the military has always needed an excellent large transport aircraft, and Li Tianfeng also made it clear that Tianfeng Technology Company will develop this transport aircraft.

But what kind of transport aircraft is this, perhaps only Li Tianfeng himself knows best, that is, Zhang Haiping, and only heard Li Tianfeng talk a little about the design ideas, and the specific situation is really not very clear.

Zhang Haiping said happily: "Mr. Li, great! ”

From Zhang Haiping's tone, it can be seen that Zhang Haiping is very happy and happy in his heart.

Li Tianfeng said: "Minister Zhang, what requirements does the military have for this future transport aircraft, you can put it forward, and I can refer to it." ”

Zhang Haiping said: "There is no problem, just a few days before the first flight of the J-18 fighter, I will take a good look at it and investigate." ”

After Li Tianfeng and Zhang Haiping ended the call, they thought to themselves that the J-30 fighter has entered small batch production, and the J-18 fighter will also begin its first flight, and the design of large military transport aircraft in the future can also begin.

………

Songzhou, a unit.

It's work time, but a few people are chatting, and the content of the chat is the first flight of the J-18 fighter.

One of them wore black-framed glasses: "Lao Hu, January 28, it happens to be Saturday, and there are three days left, and the J-18 fighter is about to make its first flight!" ”

"Yes, it's only been three days, this time you and I are so lucky, we have passed the application, and you can visit the first flight of the J-18 fighter!"

Another young man next to him glanced at the two of them enviously and said, "Lao Hu, Lao Liu, you are so lucky, you actually got the ticket to visit through the application." ”

Today's two watches, the first one is sent! (To be continued.) )
