Chapter 458: An Exciting Time

An airfield of the Air Force.

The weather in May, cloudless, the sky is blue, the breeze is light, on the huge tarmac, one by one J-10, neatly arranged, at a glance, spectacular!

J-10 fighter, the main fighter of the Air Force, has developed so far, whether it is the number of equipment, or the model of the aircraft has been a lot, including the aircraft models J-10A, J-10B, J-10C, etc., among which there are even export types.

The J-10 fighter is generally a Russian-made engine, that is, the AL-31F engine, as for our domestic "Taihang" engine, because of many reasons such as quality and reliability, it is rarely used as the power of the J-10 fighter.

As a single-engine fighter, it puts forward very high requirements for the quality, performance and reliability of the engine, and the domestic "Taihang" cannot adapt to such a role, and the "Taihang" engine is generally more used as the power of the J-11 fighter, because the J-11 fighter is a twin-engine fighter.

Whether it is a military enthusiast or a military person, everyone has always thought that the J-10 fighter should always be a Russian-made engine, and has always relied on importing this engine, but now, the situation has reversed, and the domestic turbofan 20 engine is officially installed on the J-10 fighter.

Today is the first flight of the turbofan 20 engine, the J-10 fighter equipped with the turbofan 20 engine, codenamed J-10E, on this airport, a J-10E fighter is doing inspection before the test flight.

Several ground crews of the Air Force cooperated, and several technicians next to them were inspecting, among these technicians, there were not only technicians from the aircraft factory, but also technicians from Tianfeng Technology Company.

Among them, Sun Xuelin and Gong Hanlin are both technicians of Tianfeng Technology Company, and they can be sent here, obviously, the technical level of the two is very good.

An Air Force colonel. walked over and instructed again: "Everyone be careful, there must be no abnormality, wait for the first flight, many big leaders will come over in person." ”

There's a big chief coming!

Everyone was slightly excited in their hearts, and the inspection was more careful and serious. This is the first flight of the turbofan 20 engine, and Sun Xuelin and Gong Hanlin dare not be sloppy.

After some checking.

"Well, there shouldn't be any problems!"

"Yes, everything is normal with the aircraft, and it fully meets the requirements for test flights."

"Our engines are the same, completely normal!"

After some exchanges, it was confirmed that everything was normal and the plane could be tested for flight. Soon, a major pilot. boarded this J-10E fighter.

After the major boarded the fighter plane, after a little inspection, the bubble-shaped transparent glass hatch of the J-10 fighter slowly closed and closed, and the major pilot started the plane.

This is a very experienced J-10 fighter pilot and an excellent test pilot, with the engine starting. The major clearly sensed the difference.

The engine was already running, but the plane was very quiet. There wasn't that noticeable quiet, a little bit different from what it used to be.

"Well, this is our domestic engine, it seems to be good, I don't know how the performance is, wait for the test flight. Try out a few nifty tactical moves. The major pilot thought to himself.

Seeing in the distance, in the command center, there were already many people waiting to watch the first flight of the J-10E fighter, and the order came from the headset, and the major knew. Test flights are possible.

Today, it can be said that the stars are shining, major generals, lieutenant generals, in addition, there are two generals, this is one of the main chiefs of the military, General Wei, in addition, there is General Xu of the Air Force, and Zhang Haiping, the head of the General Staff Armament Department.

The command center has a large area, many military personnel are in place, and on the huge high-definition display, it is the figure of this J-10 fighter.

This J-10E fighter, in everyone's eyes, drove slowly towards the runway in the distance.

Standing in the hall of the command center, condescendingly, through the huge glass, Zhang Haiping held the binoculars, and followed the J-10E fighter, at this moment, Zhang Haiping's heart was excited and nervous.

This is the first flight of the turbofan 20 engine!

At the beginning, the development of the turbofan 20 engine was listed as the military's 106 project, which shows the importance that the military attaches to the localization of the J-10 fighter engine.

Li Tianfeng, Sun Xiaoping and other middle and senior leaders of Tianfeng Technology Company are not far from Zhang Haiping, and everyone also watched the first flight of the turbofan 20 engine today.

The first flight of the turbofan 20 engine is a very important event for Tianfeng Technology Company, and Li Tianfeng naturally came in person.

The J-10E fighter slowly drove towards the runway in the distance, and the whole scene was quiet, only the faint sound of the aircraft engine.

At the airport, everyone else is the same, keeping quiet, staring at this J-10E fighter, everyone knows that this is the first flight of a domestic engine, and they can't help but feel a little excited.

"Look, everyone! The plane has arrived at the take-off runway and looks ready to take off! ”

Many people couldn't help but get excited again, and Zhang Haiping put down the telescope in his hand and gave Li Tianfeng a happy look.

Li Tianfeng and Zhang Haiping glanced at each other, Li Tianfeng also smiled, at this moment, Li Tianfeng was of course happy and excited.

Turbofan 20 engine, from the beginning of the development to the present, Tianfeng Technology Company has made great efforts, Li Tianfeng is the same, has paid a lot of energy and painstaking efforts, now, is about to make its first flight, the harvest time has come.

At the military's spring order meeting more than a month ago, the military did not place an order for the turbofan 20 engine, mainly because it wanted to wait for the first flight of the turbofan 20 engine and see the performance of the first flight.

The major who flew the J-10E fighter has experienced an unknown number of flights, has rich experience, and has excellent psychological quality, otherwise, he would not have been sent to carry out this first flight mission, but at this moment, the major's heart is inevitably a little excited.

Domestic engines!

And judging from the situation just now, this domestic engine seems to be better than the previous Russian-made engine, the major took a deep breath, tried to calm his mood, and then reported to the command center.

"Command center, you can take off, please instruct!"

Mr. Wei personally gave the order, and said with a full heart: "Take off!! ”

The order was given, the major got into the groove, gently pushed the joystick up, and the plane accelerated, running on the runway, and the speed became faster and faster, like an arrow from the string!

The huge high-definition display screen allows the plane to be seen clearly, especially the tail of the engine with a close-up.

The engine enters the take-off state, the afterburner is turned on, and from the tail spray position, you can see the long hot air flow, like a flame!

"It's flying!"

I don't know who shouted excitedly, and sure enough, the plane had already left the ground and flew towards the sky with a large elevation angle.

The sky was blue and the visibility was very good, and Mr. Wei and other military leaders picked up binoculars one after another and followed the J-10E fighter.

The elevation angles of the aircraft are getting bigger!

Vertical climb!

Seeing that the plane was actually perpendicular to the ground, climbing quickly and flying towards the sky, this posture was simply handsome!

The people of Tianfeng Technology Company, seeing this, couldn't help shouting happily, Sun Xiaoping waved his fist exaggeratedly, as the designer of the turbofan 20 engine, at this moment, Sun Xiaoping was filled with a strong sense of achievement!

Qiu Wen'an, who usually doesn't smile and has a relatively introverted personality, is now like a different person, his face is excited, his face is flushed, and he also waives his fists vigorously, which shows that Qiu Wen'an is in a mood at this moment.

Mr. Wei is in a high position, and he is usually calm and stable when he encounters any major events, but at this moment, it is obviously a little different!

The fighter plane flew directly into the air several thousand meters in a vertical climbing attitude, and this scene not only attracted a lot of attention, but also brought the whole atmosphere up.

Outside the command center, above the airport, because this is a large airport, there are quite a few soldiers, pilots, ground crews, etc.

Everyone's eyes followed this J-10E fighter that soared into the sky, and many pilots thought in their hearts that it would be great if they changed to fly this fighter by themselves.

After flying to the right altitude, the fighter changed this vertical climb, but then, even more exciting, the excellent performance of the turbofan 20 engine was vividly displayed.

Major Liu, who piloted the J-10E fighter, took a look at the flight altitude, glanced at the data on the instruments in the cockpit, and then, skillfully moved the left and right flat pull rods, the fuselage of the fighter and the level were at an angle of 90 degrees, and then pulled the rod backwards, at this time, the nose turned quickly to the side of the horizontal plane, and the fighter completed the steering with a small radius.

Sharp turn!

Everyone quickly shouted loudly, and in the shouting, there was excitement and excitement, this tactical action was very exciting!

It's a wonderful sharp turn!

Several leaders in the space area, seeing this scene, also said in their hearts, beautiful, this action just now was completed very beautifully.

The prettier ones are yet to come.

Soon, someone shouted loudly.

"Look, this is a drum maneuver!"

"Yes, drum maneuver!"

"Beautiful, really beautiful! It's so beautiful! ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a wonderful and beautiful drum maneuver!"

In the command center, many people shouted happily, this action is really wonderful, of course, excellent operation level is one thing, more important is that there must be excellent engine performance, fighter performance.

Zhang Haiping also said happily: "Mr. Li, it can be seen from this action that our turbofan 20 engine is very good!" The performance is fantastic! ”

Li Tianfeng smiled happily and was about to answer, when suddenly, someone shouted loudly, and everyone looked at the fighter again.
