Chapter 380: Landing Test

Yes!

"Shadow Dragon 1" has literally disappeared from satellite surveillance footage.

If it weren't for the constant flickering green dots of light moving on the radar system's screen, everyone would have thought that the drone they tested and flew before was just a dream.

"Attention, attention, the 'Shadow Dragon' No. 1 cuts off the communication signal and enters real stealth, and all observation units pay attention to tracking the signal."

The picture is empty, but the footage from the drone itself represents that the plane itself is now flying.

The previous stealth system was only a separate low-altitude line of sight stealth, and seeing that the test was successful, Xu Ziling immediately turned on active communication and base disconnection, ready to test the stealth effect on radar signals.

Hearing his command, the staff who were shocked to see the drone disappear immediately reacted, and all of them immediately sat back in their places and began to work.

Soon, the report came again:

"Observation Post 1 is ready."

"Observation Post 2 is ready."

“……”

After listening to all the reports, Xu Ziling observed the data of the drone on the terminal and immediately said:

"Test begins!"

At the same time, the movements of the hands did not fall, cutting off the communication signal on the drone, simulating the scene in the place.

"Observatory One, the signal is gone."

"Observation Post 2, the signal is gone."

Immediately the sound of reports rang out, until the last observation post reported that the signal had disappeared.

And the system of the radar base station of the military factory has also disappeared from the signal points that flashed before to represent the drone.

Seeing this, Xu Ziling knew that the stealth function of the "Shadow Dragon No. 1" was perfect.

You must know that the current flight altitude of Lu Dao is less than two thousand, although the radar system of the Celestial Empire is not the most advanced, but at this altitude there is no drone scanning, so even if it is the latest radar system of the United States, it is impossible to scan the "Shadow Dragon No. 1" at high altitude.

"Can you scan it?"

He remembered what the lion had said, and immediately asked.

"Can't scan!" The lion was quick to answer.

"Well, you can't even find it?"

This surprised Xu Ziling, in his impression, he had never seen anything that the lion couldn't scan.

"Of course you can't scan it, don't you see where the drone is now, it's still hundreds of kilometers away from the base, how can I scan it?"

Listening to Xu Ziling's tone, the lion retorted angrily.

“……”

Xu Ziling immediately realized that he had taken it for granted, and he didn't remember that the current position of the drone had exceeded the scanning distance of the lion.

For such a simple mistake, he thought that he was quite faceless in front of the lion, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Touched his nose:

"I'll be back soon, you can get ready."

After saying that, no matter how the lion reacted, he took his mind out of his mind and returned to reality.

The drone's active communication was cut off, and it lost its trace in both the satellite screen and the radar system.

The two big screens in the control hall are only on the No. 1 big screen, and there is a synchronous picture transmitted by the drone itself.

All eyes were on the No. 1 screen for a moment.

In order to test the relevant data in more detail, Xu Ziling began to constantly adjust the flight altitude of the drone on the return distance.

In this way, it is possible to see at which altitude the radar will be able to scan the signal of the drone.

It is satisfying that at a distance of 200 meters to 8,000 meters, none of the radar base stations on the ground can scan the UAV's signal.

Ten minutes flew by, and when the time came, the plane returned to less than ten kilometers from the airport.

took the time to ask the lion, and he had already obtained the scan data, so Xu Ziling didn't ask the results again, because he was about to control the drone and prepare to land.

The stealth function was lifted, and the "Shadow Dragon One" appeared again on the satellite screen, and at the same time, the radar system also had the flickering signal, and various observation stations also reported the news of the reappearance of the drone signal one after another.

Continuing to fly in the direction of the airport, the drone soon appeared in the sky two kilometers away from the airport under fast flight.

At this time, the video surveillance equipment located on the roof of the terminal also transmitted the picture of the drone in the sky at the end of the runway.

"Prepare for landing, ground crew prepare."

Speaking calmly, Xu Ziling continued to concentrate on the plane.

The distance of two kilometers is in the blink of an eye, looking at the front camera of the nose of the drone, Xu Ziling slowly corrected the flight direction of the aircraft, aimed at the runway of the airport, and constantly reduced the altitude.

Open the landing gear!

300 meters!

200 meters!

100 meters!

The aircraft immediately entered the runway range.

Pull it down, pull it down again!

When the fuselage of the aircraft enters the runway position, he controls the aircraft to pull to the lowest.

Soon the image transmitted by the drone was only shocked: the front landing gear of the drone landed, and then the rear wheels also fell smoothly to the ground, and the plane began to taxi on the runway.

Compared with fighter jets, the UAV itself is much lighter in weight, and the standard runway of a third-level airport with a length of 1,600 meters can be completely without parachuting, not to mention that the "Shadow Dragon One" was designed according to the standard of being able to take off and land on the aircraft carrier.

As soon as the front and rear landing gear hit the ground, Xu Ziling controlled and pulled down the brake brake of the aircraft, and the wheels on the landing gear of the drone also emitted white smoke because of the friction with the ground, and at the same time, there was a sharp friction sound like a car braking from the audio acquisition equipment.

As if the whole plane was being pulled by an invisible huge force, the degree of taxiing was drastically reduced, and it quickly slowed down until it stopped moving forward.

"All the data saved?"

The plane stopped moving completely, and Xu Ziling immediately wanted the staff to ask.

Whether the drone takes off or lands, the distance between the two is quite short, because this is the first landing test, and he controls the drone from the end of the runway to land.

The main reason is still worried about what accidents will happen to the first landing, once something goes wrong, the runway up to more than 1,000 meters can also be buffered, and then there is the first landing, including himself, people have no bottom in their hearts, I don't know how far the landing distance is, the test is that the longer the runway, of course, the better.

When the plane came to a standstill, it meant that the flight and landing test was a success.

But it's on the other side of the runway, and looking at the distance marker on the runway, it's still 1,400 meters away from the end of the runway.

It would be too troublesome and time-consuming to send a tractor over this distance, so Xu Ziling was ready to continue to let him taxi the plane over, so he asked the staff if they had recorded the video data of the take-off and landing just now.

"It's saved."

His question was quickly answered.

Hearing this, he immediately taxied the plane back on, heading towards the runway.

The control of all the way was much faster than that of the tractor, and soon the plane came to this end of the runway under his control.

When he reached the end, he controlled the plane to turn and went to the hangar, and it was not until he entered the hangar that he completely stopped moving forward, and then the entire system was shut down.

"Whoa......

When the ground crew, who had already prepared the picture, rushed up, there was warm applause in the hall of the control heart.

This test can be said to have completely exceeded everyone's expectations, and it is absolutely a test task that has been exceeded.

Although some aspects such as weapon systems have not been tested, from the projects tested so far, the "Shadow Dragon One" is definitely the best stealth unmanned attack aircraft, and there is no one.

How can everyone not be happy and excited about such a result?

Seeing the success of his hard work, Xu Ziling's heart was surging at this moment, and while the applause was in his ears, he couldn't help but stand up and clapped his hands fiercely.

After a long time, the applause finally died down.

Walking next to Huang Lao, Li Lao, and Yang Haisheng, before they could say a word, Huang Lao and Li Lao mentioned going to the hangar to see the drone.

Xu Ziling, the anxious son of the two old men, already had an understanding of them, and he himself had such thoughts, so he explained a few words to the person in charge of the control heart, and he led the group out of the control heart hall and walked towards the hangar.

"Uncle Yang, what do you think?"

When going down the stairs, Xu Ziling slowed down and asked Yang Haisheng next to him.

When Yang Haisheng heard Xu Ziling's words, he glanced at him expressionlessly, and said slowly:

"What do I feel like, I don't have the Air Force, and I don't need the best stuff."

"Forehead ......"

Hearing this, Xu Ziling felt that something was wrong, and was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood again, and couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart.

The reason why Yang Haisheng reacted this way was that he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.

Otherwise, how could he be so angry, and say that even if it is the best, he can't use it?

Seeing that the usually serious Yang Haisheng actually had this side, Xu Ziling was really surprised and funny, this was not at all like the future father-in-law he was familiar with.

But if he wanted to laugh in his heart, he could only endure it, and he would never dare to show it on his face.

Seeing Xu Ziling's reaction, Yang Haisheng, who had an abnormal reaction, also realized his mistake, thinking of such a performance in front of his son-in-law, he couldn't help but blush.

After glaring at Xu Ziling fiercely, he said:

"Reconnaissance can be absolutely top-notch, it depends on how its weapon system is, if it is the same, then in the future, the drone will be led by it, and it can hit wherever it wants!"

Of course, Xu Ziling would not mention his father-in-law's gaffe, and after hearing this, he took the opportunity to turn the topic to this:

"Now the weapon pylons can be mounted with PL and TY series missiles, and one of its hardpoints can be mounted with Tomahawk-level cruise missiles, but there is no suitable one in China for the time being, and I am ready to get a special airborne cruise missile for use on the 'Shadow Dragon', there are already some ways, but it will take some time, as for the rest, there is a 30 mm aircraft gun in the nose, and I am also ready to add a high multi-barrel machine gun under the wings on both sides of the air, so that it is almost the same."
