"The engine is hot, and it is ready 3 minutes before takeoff."

"The wind speed on the sea surface is 8 knots, and the relative wind speed on the deck is 28 knots......"

The preview of the take-off data in the cabin kept ringing, accompanied by the data transmitted from the command center, and the testers in the cabin were all attentive, staring at the data display screen in front of them, lest they miss any detail.

The Z-13X and Z-13 are crucial for the army building of the republic, and no one dares to be sloppy in the slightest.

"The hot car is complete, the system inspection is complete, the systems are normal, the fuel is normal, the engine is normal, and 022 requests to take off."

"022, you can take off, all units pay attention, 022 is about to take off."

"022 received, ready before take-off at least 30 seconds."

At this moment, if you stand on the deck of the 081-class multi-functional amphibious assault ship, you can see a spectacular scene, the huge air flow set off by the huge rotor of the Z-13X even disturbs the changes in the sea surface air flow locally, and the members of the working group on the deck of various colors of clothing are blown one by one to hunt, and can only rely on the signal rods and various gestures in their hands to send various instructions to the Zhi-13 codenamed 022. When the commander wearing a yellow helmet made a standard "squat and bend his legs sideways, point his index and middle fingers in the direction of take-off, make fists with the rest of his fingers, and turn his face away from the take-off direction", the mechanical stop in front of the wheels quickly fell.

Under the full rotation of two free-type turboshaft engines of 6,500 kilowatts each, the huge rotors and the two tail vector thrust ducted propellers emitted a huge backward thrust, and the whole plane slammed out of the air as if it had been "kicked", and only flew less than 100 meters, and just reached the middle of the sliding jump section where the glide jump deck was raised high, and the plane was already empty.

Takeoff was successful! The soldiers on the deck looked at the Z-13X that took to the air. I couldn't help but applaud...... As the de facto first-generation aircraft carrier sailors of the Republic, they know better than anyone that this Z-13X that took off smoothly is of great significance to the Navy of the Republic and the national defense of the Republic!

Lin Hongfei, who was sitting in the cabin, had another feeling, this feeling was very wonderful, as if when you were walking forward, there was a force that dragged you up, as if Ling Bo was taking a slight step, and he "floated" after a few steps...... It's the huge, newly designed eight-piece main rotor overhead. The Z-13X relies on the huge lift provided by the top main rotor to achieve such a short take-off.

……………………

When the main rotor of the aircraft, the two vector thrust ducted propellers at the rear and the huge forward-swept wing play a role together, the Z-13X quickly flew to a low altitude of 500 meters, and according to the operating specifications, the Z-13X can gradually transfer the power allocated to the overhead main rotor to the two vector thrust ducted propellers at this altitude.

The two pilots in the cabin did exactly that. Feeling the noise coming from the top of his head gradually decreasing, Lin Hongfei asked Liang Zongren through the headphones, "General, how do you feel?" ”

"Good! Great! Liang Zongren gave Lin Hongfei a thumbs up without hesitation, and did not hide his excitement. It's the best! ”

Lin Hongfei smiled slightly.

Compared with similar heavy-duty helicopters, the Z-13X has the world's largest load capacity, the world's largest flight speed and the world's largest range in the helicopter field. All dwarfs the helicopters of Europe, the United States, Russia and other countries.

In fact. Since the appearance of the Z-9X, the international military equipment community has not stopped the debate in the international military equipment circles on whether the "weird" helicopters such as the Z-9X and the Z-13X should be regarded as helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft, but there is no doubt that everyone believes that the emergence of the Z-9X and Z-13X provides a new idea for everyone to develop rotorcraft with higher flight speed.

Obviously, the practice of the Chinese has proved that the path they have chosen is indeed the right one, although there are still many doubts in the early stage. But now, the voice of doubt has disappeared, and while everyone sighs that the Chinese are one step ahead, they can't help but feel that the Chinese have done a good business this time: after the massive investment in the early stage. Now is the time for them to start reaping the fruits of success...... The French were the first to be impatient to find it, France has always had a lot of military transactions with China, and even our Z-9 helicopter is the full introduction of French technology, but now, the French have even begun to seek the introduction of the Z-9X formal equipment type: Z-9Y related technology.

…………………………………………

About 30 nautical miles from the large multi-purpose amphibious assault ship of the 081 class, a Perry-class missile frigate is constantly circling at cruising speed.

Of course, they are not looking for something, but they are tracking the Z-13X in the sky, the "Perry" class missile frigate is the smallest warship in the US aircraft carrier formation, and it is a type of missile frigate focusing on anti-submarine warfare, but even so, the "Perry" class missile frigate still has a fairly weak air search and attack capability, AN/SPS-49 (V) long-range air search and alert radar is used with the standard SM-1MR air defense missile on the ship, For the vast majority of the flying machines in the world, they have great lethality!

"Sir, the Harrier Eagle has a height of 3000, a speed of 180 knots, a climb speed of 18 m/s, and the speed is still accelerating." Inside the Perry-class command center, the radar operator shouted loudly to Holger. Grafin reported on the Z-13X in the sky.

"Zhilu Dao, continue to monitor!" Holger. Grafin's voice was very low, and at the same time, he quickly converted the situation reported by the radar operator: the flight altitude is 3000 meters, the speed is 333 kilometers per hour, and the climb speed is 18 meters per second, which is faster than the 13 meters per second of the E-2C? Damn, how did the Chinese develop such a fast plane?

The strong performance of the straight-13X makes Holger. Graff worries: If the Chinese have mastered the skills of aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft, and carrier-based early warning aircraft, then for the Chinese, who regard the South China Sea as their home's back garden, can they continue to put up with the Americans staying in the western Pacific? Is there still an American voice in the Western Pacific? How can the Americans, who were driven out of the Western Pacific, balance the Chinese?

As the captain of the most powerful navy missile frigate in the world, Holder. Graf should be proud to be the captain of the Perry-class missile frigate, and he has long thought so, but since receiving this task of tracking and monitoring the Chinese 081-class and Z-13X, he feels that his life is full of darkness, and when he sees the order that it is absolutely not allowed to approach within 25 nautical miles of the Chinese, and that it is absolutely not allowed to make a clear attack on the Chinese, he feels as if he is living in a nightmare.

Speaking of Americans, the Americans are also pitiful, a few years ago, the Americans dared to send a more powerful "Ali. The Burke-class missile destroyer came to "visit" the 081 multi-functional medium-sized aircraft carrier at close range (in the eyes of the United States, the 081 is not an amphibious assault ship at all, it is simply a medium-sized aircraft carrier with powerful amphibious combat capabilities), but now, in order not to irritate the Chinese too much, the Americans have to send the smallest guy like the "Perry" class to track and peep...... For the republic, this is of course a good thing, for example, Lin Hongfei, every time he sees some countries start to protest against China again, he is relaxed: Finally, it is the turn of others to protest against us, refresh!

"The height is 5000, the speed is 200 knots, the climb speed is stable."

"Altitude 5300, speed 205 knots, stable ...... climb speed"

The voice of the radar operator, which used to be pleasant to the ear, is now in Holger. Graff sounded like a magic sound, and he even felt the urge to smash something to vent his inner anguish.

According to the information obtained, if the performance of the Z-13X platform is stable and excellent enough, it is Chinese possible to develop a special carrier-based early warning aircraft on the Z-13X, considering that Chinese has already built three Air Police 2000 large airborne early warning aircraft on the basis of the Beijun 200B, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not apply the large active phased array radar technology they have mastered to the carrier-based early warning aircraft...... America's maritime interests will be further threatened, and it's a shame that the damned bureaucrats in Congress are debating whether to cut US military spending!

Damn, don't these bastards know that it's because of the powerful American warships all over the world that they are guaranteed to eat hysteries all day long? Don't they know that on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there is a country that is developing at a crazy high speed, ready to compete with the United States for dominance in the world?

Do you really think that the first and second island chains will be able to block this vicious dragon? It's just childish to the extreme!

When I think that over the years, I have personally watched the Chinese's naval military combat strength gradually develop from the "small sampan" level to now have the capital of systematic confrontation with the United States. Graffin couldn't wait to drive the Perry-class missile frigate under his ass to Capitol Hill, stuff those pig-headed guys into the missile warhead, launch them into China, and let them see for themselves that if we don't work hard, we will be caught up by the Chinese.

It's a pity that it's right in Holger. As Graffin gritted his teeth, an order from the U.S. Command in the Pacific wiped out all his ambitions: Return now! (To be continued......)
