Monet was pleased to see the two Chinese naval pilots startled, as if this was exactly what he wanted to see, and he said proudly, "You're going to love it, trust me." ”

There is no way, the speed of the two rounds of the throttle stick is slightly pushed and it bounces up like a stab in the buttocks, Tang Leilei and Cao Fufei are experienced after all, and they quickly stabilized, so they simply turned on the afterburner and took off by mistake. They were very smart, and after realizing the high sensitivity of the control stick, they did not rush to understand the joystick, but let the fighter plane slide to the take-off speed and continue to glide forward, slowly pulling the rod backwards and lifting the wheels at this time.

"Great!" Monet saw it and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Very calm and very experienced." ”

If you are in a hurry to lift the wheel but do not grasp the stroke of the joystick, and suddenly take off at a large elevation angle but the speed is not well controlled, there will be a danger of stalling. The handling of this detail reflects the rich experience of the pilot, especially the very strong psychological quality, and the calm and decisive handling is very much to Monet's taste.

It's a different story when you're off the ground.

After all, it is a fighter that has never been in contact with it, and the cockpit is completely different from the Soviet-style fighter, Tang Leilei and Cao Fufei have never touched the fighter with the side control stick, so they are a little embarrassed when they start to do turning maneuvers. Another difference is the inclination of the seats, the reclination of the seats in the Rafale reached 29 degrees, and the pilot was almost in a flat lying position when climbing, which was very different from the Soviet-style fighters with relatively vertical sitting positions.

Tang Leilei and Cao Fufei's situation is similar, the rickety climb, the pitch angle and inclination angle are not very well controlled, this can be seen at a glance, but basically under the condition of allowing, it is estimated that the pilot will think that it is deliberately done by the pilot.

After a while, Tang Leilei first mastered the skills of stabilizing the fighter, followed by Cao Fufei, and then began to fly cautiously. This surprised Monet and couldn't help but say, "Great! I can't believe you've only been studying for less than an hour, and you haven't even fully grasped the theoretical data of Rafale! ”

Li Zhan said with a smile, "In general operation, their level is above average in our troops. ”

Tang Leilei couldn't help grinning, and said secretly in his heart, Brother Yi, look at what you said, my level is considered to be the best in flying sharks......

Monet didn't understand, as soon as he heard Li Zhan say this, his smile suddenly stiffened, the more senior the pilot, the more famous he could see from these details. If these two pilots are at the upper middle level of the Chinese naval aviation, then their pilot team is quite powerful.

Even the most experienced U.S. Navy pilots and Israeli Air Force pilots who were in contact with Rafale fighters for the first time could never have achieved this level in such a short period of time. Monet is a senior instructor of the Rafale fighter, and from his point of view, Tang Leilei and Cao Fufei actually have the ability to fly solo.

That's pretty impressive.

The more he flew, the smoother he became, Tang Leilei had the courage to do a few stunts, and couldn't help but be surprised when he did the roll: "This product has a very high rolling rate!" ”

Thanks to the Chinese spoken, thanks to Monet and the female captain narrator did not understand Chinese.

Li Zhan also noticed it and said, "I'm doing a few to take a look." ”

Tang Leilei didn't say a word and did a few more rolls in a row, and then a sharp level flight accelerated and climbed, which already showed a certain degree of coherence. Over there, Cao Fufei was also slowly doing stunts, in order to experience the true maneuverability of the Rafale fighter, and he was also secretly talking.

The roll rate is a very important indicator, and it is usually seen in film and television works and news reports that fighter jets roll sideways to hit decoy bombs, which is to avoid the missile attack of enemy aircraft. Suffice it to say, the higher the roll rate, the better the chance that the fighter will be able to escape the missile attack.

The roll rate of the Sukhoi series fighters is significantly lower than that of the Rafale fighters.

Li Zhan couldn't help but compare the J-10 fighter with the Rafale fighter, and found that the J-10 fighter was not as good as the Rafale fighter in terms of roll speed. He shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, and reminded himself that he could not compare the standard third-generation machine with the third-generation half-machine. And the amount of power redundancy between the two is also not of the same order of magnitude.

He also doesn't want to compare the J-10, but at present, only the J-10 has the performance closest to the Rafale fighter in the army, and they are all third-generation aircraft developed in the eighties, with the same aerodynamic layout, and the difference is probably only in single and double engines. The performance of the AL-31F used by the J-10 is much better than that of the M-88 of the Rafale fighter, but the fuel economy of the latter is better, but the Rafale fighter was determined to develop a carrier-based model at the beginning of the development, so it must be twin-engine.

If the J-10 has a follow-up replacement model, with single eyelids becoming double eyelids, is there a possibility of going on the ship? Li Zhan has a lot of hopes for this, because the J-10, as a medium-sized fighter, can actually press the J-11 as a heavy fighter, and the latter can only run all over the field with its long legs, so as to consume the fuel of the former.

However, Li Zhan knows very well that my navy likes big ones, the bigger the better, in the past, there was no money to enjoy the big ones, but now the purse is bulging, how big it is, how big it is, how big it is, and how big it is, and it takes a lot, so it is estimated that the small body of the J-10 is difficult to meet the needs of the navy. Don't look at the fact that the Navy doesn't have a single aircraft carrier now, maybe people already have detailed configuration requirements for twelve aircraft carrier battle groups in their long-term plans!

In fact, not only the navy, but also the army and air force. It is said that the superiors at that time meant to let the Air Force enter a batch in small batches for one use, but the Air Force did not want to die, thinking that there is no difference between the Thunder Dragon and the J-7...... Not to mention the Army, isn't the tank just getting bigger and bigger the sooner it is.

As far as the J-10 fighter and the Rafale fighter are concerned, the requirements at the beginning of the development of the two are different, the former is clearly as a third-generation aircraft to replace the huge J-7 fleet, and it was originally used as the main aircraft group of territorial air defense operations, putting ground attack in a secondary position, while the latter is an all-round model that the French army has high hopes for, taking into account all aspects of combat capability, and the French army's goal is to make the air fleet only exist in the Rafale fighter.

In other words, the French army did not want to maintain a large fleet of aircraft.

However, our country is a big country, and it only relies on one type of aircraft to maintain its troops, not to mention that even the common people will have opinions if the troops do not agree - it is difficult for you to defend the motherland well if you do this! Therefore, the division of combat types of fighters is very detailed and clear, such as the high-end collocation, such as the live bomber of the fighter and the work of the bomber, which is very fine, and the fighter alone has more than a dozen models of two families.

Maintaining a complete armed forces system requires a lot of capital investment, which is not something that ordinary countries can do, France is actually the best in European countries, whether it is the defense industry system or the composition of the armed forces, it is the most complete in Europe, but compared with China, it is a second-class cripple, not even comparable to Russia.

Modern simulator cockpits are very advanced and can set weather data, wind direction and strength, so they can reflect the actual flight environment very completely. Shi Leilei and Cao Fufei ended the flight for more than half an hour without danger, and when they were still unsatisfied, Monet shook hands with them one by one and said very sincerely, "Congratulations on passing the primary simulated cockpit training, I think if you have three days, you will definitely be able to fly alone." ”

"Thank you, Colonel Monet taught me well." Cao Fufei said with a calm smile.

Shi Leilei smiled, "The Rafale fighter is very easy to drive, and I can feel that the aircraft is very friendly to pilots." ”

"You're really good." Monet said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the level of the Chinese Navy pilots was not inferior to the old vultures of the US Navy. ”

The Chinese are modest, reserved, and smile in return.

Tang Leilei said secretly in his heart, where is this going, wait a minute, after you see the level of our first brother, it is estimated that you will doubt your own worldview.

"Okay, please second group, Colonel Zhang, Major Li, please." Monet already thinks that the level of Tang Leilei and Cao Fufei is outstanding, because he has never met a pilot who can fly at such a level after receiving less than an hour of theoretical instruction in the simulated cockpit.

Li Zhan and Zhang Xueyang respectively logged into the cockpit, adjusted their postures, and simulated that the cockpit had been restored to the position of the take-off line, and looking forward from the front windshield was the runway extending forward. He and Zhang Xueyang glanced at each other, and the latter decisively began to slide away, and the afterburner slid to take off in a short distance, and the crisp and neat momentum attracted Monet's attention, and then a look of surprise climbed into his face.

Who are these people?

Monet was already like a frog crawling out of the bottom of the well, and suddenly found that the world was so big.

Although it can still be seen that there are a lot of excessive manipulation actions and slightly deformed movements, compared with Shi Leilei and Cao Fufei, Zhang Xueyang's level is already a step higher. By watching the first group of simulated flight situations combined with his own understanding and experience the simulation exercises in his mind, this is the advantage of the second group, and Zhang Xueyang's comprehension ability itself is stronger than Tang Leilei and Cao Fufei.

After a few minutes of adaptation, Zhang Xueyang began to maneuver, he first played a few conventional maneuvers, and then used a vertical afterburner climb as the beginning of the stunt maneuver, starting from the dive, directly on a 7 G large overload maneuver - U-shaped maneuver. Immediately after that, a series of stunts came out in a row, like a Rafale fighter performing a single plane at an air show.

Mo Nai was stupid, looking at Zhang Xueyang's operation in disbelief, his look of surprise was very obvious, and he turned to ask Mo Ren'an, "Colonel Mo, he, he has flown a Rafale fighter before?" ”

"No, he's a good learner." Mo Ren'an said with a smile.

Monet sighed and said, "If the level of these pilots is only above the middle level, I think you should be the most skilled aviation unit in the world." ”

"Colonel Monet has a good reputation, and you teach it well." Mo Ren'an said modestly, in fact, he was also surprised, he didn't expect his soldiers to have such a strong learning ability!

When he shook his head, Monet noticed that the pilot named Major Li was rubbing, like the first brother who was not allowed to enter, and like the evil young man who coaxed the girl with "I'm just rubbing outside and can't go in", and is still studying the cockpit there!

It turned out that there was also stupidity, and Colonel Monet suddenly felt much better.
