Chapter 681 There was a black military plane that smashed into our airport
Third-rate airfields are most pronounced from the nearest target, and the airfields are large and can be spotted visually at great distances. Visibility was very good after entering the plains, although the sky was still gray, and visibility was good at low to medium altitudes due to high cloud cover.
Li Zhan found that the plane continued to decline, and the descent rate remained at 3 meters per second, no matter what he did, the plane would maintain such a descent rate. His ground height is 1,200 meters, his airspeed is 1,100 kilometers per hour, and he is about 60 kilometers away from a third-rate airport.
In other words, when arriving at a third-rate airport, the aircraft has to descend to an altitude of about 600 meters.
He is also about 600 meters above ground, which is high enough for a forced landing. The problem is that he is not sure if the rate of decline will continue to increase, and if it is presented with an ever-increasing rate of decline, he will crash before reaching a third-rate airport.
What's worse is that the plane descends autonomously, indicating that there is a problem with the flight control system. There's nothing worse than an airplane losing control. The pilot uses the flight control system to impose his will on the aircraft, and a problem with the flight control system means that even the best pilot cannot make the aircraft fly completely according to his own will.
Li Zhan made a blind call while concentrating on controlling the plane to fly towards the third-rate airport, praying in his heart that there would be no new problems with the plane.
Often at this time, things will not go as people wish, and at the moment when Li Zhan entered the city, there was a new failure in the power system!
The speed of the engine did not change, and it was still maintained at half power, but Li Zhan clearly felt that the airspeed was decreasing, and when he looked at the airspeed meter, the airspeed was falling rapidly. After checking the fuel, it was found that it was not a problem with the fuel, and Li Zhan immediately came to a judgment - there was a new problem with the power system.
The airspeed fell very fast, falling to 600 kilometers per hour in the blink of an eye, and at this speed, based on the current rate of the plane's autonomous descent, he would not be able to fly to a third-rate airport at all.
He quickly pushed the throttle lever that had received the bottom halfway forward, and the airspeed number dropped a little slower, but it continued to fall. Could it be an oil leak? This is unlikely, and the oil leak will not affect the work of the engine.
The power system was completely abnormal, and Li Zhan hesitated.
The throttle stick has apparently recovered some response, as evidenced by the easing of the airspeed drop rate after pushing the throttle stick, but Li Zhan is hesitant about whether to push the throttle stick to the end. If the dysfunctional powertrain soars again, the situation will only get worse.
Underneath is a dense urban area, with all kinds of high-rise buildings, all kinds of houses, and many schools, all of which are densely populated areas. The flight altitude had dropped to seven or eight hundred meters, and he could even clearly see a large number of students playing sports in the playground of a school not far away.
It's 10:30 a.m., the time for the formal recess.
What to do?
If it was an ordinary fighter, he would not hesitate to avoid these areas and choose to fly to the suburbs and some remote airports for forced landing, but now he is driving a prototype of a fourth-generation aircraft, the value of this aircraft lies in the fact that it embodies the painstaking efforts of scientific research personnel for decades, and is an important symbol of the People's Air Force entering the world's strongest air force club.
He knows very well that everything that the No. 01 Black Ribbon has experienced today will provide a lot of valuable flight test data for the scientific research team, and many movements and attitudes experienced are almost impossible to fly out of normal test flight activities, even Li Zhan is difficult to fly.
By coincidence, the Black Ribbon 01 experienced many things that would not have been experienced under normal test flight conditions, and these were crucial in determining the flight envelope of the new model aircraft.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it is very difficult to choose.
After a little hesitation, Li Zhan decided to make a forced landing at the third-rate airport according to the original plan, the main reason is that the plane is still controllable, and the surrounding area of the third-rate airport is relatively remote, as long as he enters the area where the airport is located, he has more leeway.
Having made up his mind, he pushed the throttle stick to the bottom.
The worst happened, the airspeed of the plane increased significantly, the acceleration was very fast, and the engine power soared to the maximum in a very short time, propelling the plane forward. The advantage is that under the influence of the rudder surface, Li Zhan can control the descent rate, and the disadvantage is that he has no way to control the power system.
When the plane was about to break through the airspeed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, Li Zhan put away all the throttle sticks and shouted expectantly: slow down, slow down, slow down......
The plane slowed down.
Li Zhan immediately grasped the law, and when the airspeed dropped to a dangerous value, he pushed the throttle stick to the end, and the engine was running at full power, and the aircraft accelerated, and then closed the throttle to slow down. Just like that, he quickly and slowly advanced towards the third-rate airport.
In urban areas, many people saw the black fighter plane flying at low altitude and high speed, and those who cared about military news recognized it at a glance as a fourth-generation aircraft that had successfully made its first flight, while those who did not care about military affairs were attracted by the phenomenon of flying at low altitude and high speed.
When he flew over the side of the playground of an elementary school, the flight altitude was about 500 meters, and Li Zhan saw the elementary school students on the playground happily waving at him and saluting the Young Pioneers. The simple act of looking for the ordinary greatly increased Li Zhan's confidence for no reason, and he tore off the oxygen mask and pushed the goggles on it, and the extremely handsome face was a resolute look.
He was very calm and keenly aware of the fact that flying fast and slow was very considerable. After a quick calculation, a promising result came to the result - the fuel was just running out by the time we arrived at the third-rate airport. The most critical issue for a successful forced landing is to bring the plane to a stop.
In the case of power system failure, the only way to do it is to start with jet fuel.
In a not-so-good scenario, it is calculated that the airplane will reach 800 kilometers per hour when it arrives at a third-rate airport. It is absolutely impossible to make a successful forced landing at this airspeed, and Li Zhan must do some risky moves.
The radar of the airport tower finally detected the No. 01 black ribbon, and the distance has been shortened to ten kilometers, which has entered the control range of the tower.
The controllers watched in amazement as a blackened military plane rushed towards it, suddenly tumbling seven kilometers away, and the barrel rolled into the landing course. Careful people found that the face of the small wings on the military plane was facing the direction of the nose, which was obviously an angle of deceleration.
Deceleration by barrel rolling at an altitude of three or four hundred meters is the most effective deceleration method that Li Zhan can think of and can do at this time, the plane will consume a lot of kinetic energy when the barrel rolls, and the flight speed will continue to decrease, usually when doing this maneuver, the pilot will give more fuel to maintain airspeed.
However, at this altitude, it is extremely risky to maneuver a plane that has had many failures to roll the barrel, and Li Zhan did not even have the opportunity to parachute if he was not careful. During the barrel roll, the nose of the aircraft is constantly changing, and the pilot has to keep the aircraft flying straight through constant maneuvering.
The principle of using barrel roll to evade attacks is to achieve this by constantly destroying the flight trajectory.
Li Zhan resumed level flight at an altitude of about fifty meters above the ground, and from a distance it looked like the wingtips were almost grazing the ground.
The No. 01 black ribbon landed, and in order to slow down the landing gear was released early, and after the main landing gear touched the ground, ground monitoring instruments detected that the landing speed of the aircraft was 512 kilometers per hour.
"It's too fast!" A controller exclaimed.
The chief controller hurriedly asked the ready emergency rescue team to adjust their positions and drove all to the end of the runway. Obviously, a runway of more than 3,000 meters may not be enough!
The passengers waiting for the flight in the terminal also saw that the black military plane almost smashed on the runway, so fast that people who have no common sense knew that the plane could not stop at all. They watched with their mouths wide open and distracted as the blackened military planes galloped toward the end of the runway, like wild horses on the loose.
Li Zhan stepped on the brakes.
The landing gear tires locked, then quickly melted and burned under intense friction. Then the wheel hub touched the ground, and the metal rubbed violently against the runway surface and sparks. All measures were used, and the plane was still running at high speed, reaching a speed of 325 kilometers per hour.
The tail, flaps, canards, and even the tail are all in the best position, but the plane lands too fast.
Li Zhan stared coldly ahead, and on the taxiway on the right side were dozens of various rescue vehicles flashing their police lights and honking sirens, also rushing towards the end of the runway.
As it stands, it's almost impossible for an airplane to stop before the runway runs out.
Li Zhan gritted his teeth and didn't stop doing anything, he decisively opened the cockpit canopy!
The canopy is opened backwards, and when the canopy is opened, it is equivalent to a huge speed brake, which provides huge resistance in an instant!
The fierce wind poured in, Li Zhan's face was blown out of shape, and he even breathed in the stuffy air outside. The good news was that the speed of the aircraft had dropped significantly, with the figure rapidly dropping to 200 kilometers per hour, and then the descent increasing until it came to a complete stop.
There are several hundred meters of runway ahead.
Li Zhan quickly turned off the engine, and after confirming that both engines were turned off, his hanging heart could be completely put down.
Taking off the flight helmet and taking off the pulped white labor protection gloves, Li Zhan took out a crumpled cigarette from his close-fitting pocket, took out a cigarette lit with a lighter, completely relaxed, and comfortably leaned on the back of the seat and smoked Huazi.
The airport emergency rescue arrived, and the commander-in-chief of the scene jumped down from the domineering and saw this scene, and was immediately shocked, too good, right?
I can think of a way to use the cockpit canopy to slow down, and I smoked Huazi after I was done.
Li Zhan waved his hand at the commander-in-chief at the scene, signaling them not to approach. There was no danger of a second catastrophe on the plane, and it was neither carrying ammunition nor aviation fuel, so Li Zhan was very relieved.
Under the condition of ensuring safety, he could not let idle people and others get close to the world's most advanced fourth-generation aircraft.
