Chapter 302: Come on, well, refuel in the air

After passing through the field at a low altitude, Li Zhan asked Cheng Da, "Old Cheng, why don't I fly a few stunts?" ”

"Good luck comes, don't rush it." The voice of the tower commander cut directly in, refusing Li Zhan's request.

Li Zhan said helplessly, "Understood, over." ”

Cheng Da said, "Don't worry, today I am mainly familiar with the operation of the fighter, so let's go around a few more times." ”

"Then I'll pull a supersonic, right?" Li Zhan asked again.

Cheng Da thought about it and agreed, "Okay, go up to eight thousand." ”

He is the captain of the training instructor team, and today's organization is all about training the pilots of the Eagle Falcon Brigade, and he can fly in the sky to command the tower in turn, and the tower must organize training according to his instructions.

In addition to Li Zhan, there are three pilots in the Eagle Falcon Brigade who have made rapid progress and have also conducted flight training, and three J-10S are flying in this airspace. Of course, they all flew under the instructions of the instructor in a proper manner, but he Li Zhan flew completely out of the instructor's teaching.

Cheng Dazhen found that there was nothing more to hand over to Li Zhan. If you have the flight experience of the SU-27SK and then modify the J-10, the difficulty is not as great as that of crossing from the second-generation aircraft to the third-generation aircraft, and secondly, Li Zhan's flying talent is amazing. No matter what fighter plane you fly, the training content is the same, and everyone flies the same action. If the window paper is pierced, there will be no so-called difficulties.

This is a kind station, it is someone else's territory, Li Zhan wants to keep a low profile, but he finally combines with the coveted her, and it is really difficult for him to control the jade hope that dances wildly in the air. It's hard for others to understand - it has always been the J-10 that has supported him in his combat flight career, and all his yearning comes from her.

Finally got it one day, got what he wanted, isn't it human nature that his emotions want to be exposed?

The throttle stick is open at the end of the afterburner and the rudder surface flies straight to the south, and the rest is left to the third aunt (AL-31FN) and time.

At an altitude of 8,000 meters, the sea height is almost as high as the ground for this area with an average altitude of only a few hundred meters. Although the J-10S has been lengthened and crammed into a rear cabin seat, which has a slight impact on the overall aerodynamic layout, the performance has not been greatly affected. Soon the airspeed tube pierced the air, starting from the tip of the airspeed tube, the airspeed of the fighter began to exceed the speed of sound, the whole fighter broke the sound barrier from beginning to end, and the huge sonic boom was thrown to the ground in bursts, and people only heard the dull noise like rolling thunder in the sky, covering it continuously but not seeing the fighter above the clouds.

Li Zhan was passionate, and he was pleasantly surprised by the J-10A's excellent acceleration performance and maneuverability in supersonic conditions. He couldn't help but slowly pull the rod to climb vertically, and then continuously roll the barrel vertically upward, until the fighter's watch speed dropped below the speed of sound, and then he suddenly pressed the rod and dived down to rapidly descend in altitude, resuming level flight at the allowable altitude.

Cheng Da was taken aback by Li Zhan's sudden move, and when he was about to intervene, he found that the fighter was in very good condition, so he dispelled the idea and asked Li Zhan to complete the above maneuver.

"Can I do a cobra maneuver?" Li Zhan asked.

"Nope." Cheng Da decisively refused, "You're only flying on your first day, and you're definitely not allowed to do high-risk aerobatics." ”

Li Zhan said, "I drove Su 27 and entered the Super Cobra at a speed of more than 600 meters. ”

"The Su-27 is the Su-27 and the J-10 is the J-10, and the flight characteristics of the two models are different...... Wait, what did you just say? The watch speed is more than 600 entered? Cheng Da stopped talking suddenly, suspecting that he had misheard.

Li Zhan said, "Yes, the table speed is more than 600 entered, and it is a very successful Super Cobra." ”

"Impossible!" Cheng Da said, "Su Liangqi carries an overload of nine Gs at most, and your watch speed of more than 600 enters the G number has reached ten, how is it possible!" ”

The duty officers at the tower are also stupid, you look at me, I look at you. The Cobra maneuvering overload is between six and seven, and the pilot who can generally carry seven G overloads is considered powerful, the J-10 can only carry ten G overloads, and the SU-27SK is one G less.

That's impossible.

Li Zhan said, "Really, there should be a report of the war after a while." ”

"Impossible! It is strange that more than 600 meters of speed entered the plane and disintegrated in the air. Cheng Da categorically didn't believe it, and said, "Don't think about the cobra maneuver for the time being, let's talk about it after you fly solo, what will happen after you return to Beiku." ”

No one believed Li Zhan's words, even if he was famous.

Li Zhan couldn't hold on anymore, after all, although the No. 01 SU-27SK did not disintegrate in the air, it fell apart after landing, but it didn't fall apart in the air, and he had to thank the No. 01 SU-27SK for saving his life.

Although it was not incisive, flying for nearly two hours was already the preferential treatment of Li Zhan of the 931 team. Cheng Da asked Li Zhan, "Pay attention when you land, the timing of the rod must be mastered, and my side will intervene at any time." ”

"Understood." Li Zhan directly entered the landing route and turned off the assisted landing function of the autopilot.

Cheng Da didn't say anything.

The captain of the Eagle Falcon Brigade has a strong pertinence in his work, and he knows which link needs to be strengthened. The J-10 series fighters have advanced avionics systems, which include blind landing assistance systems similar to those of modern airliners, which are actually included in the autopilot system. With the assistance of the system, the pilot only needs to monitor the changes in flight data and complete a simple stick operation to achieve a smooth landing.

It's like a car with an auto-parking function.

Cheng Da was highly concentrated, ready to quickly intervene to take over the control of the fighter plane if Li Zhan's actions were not in place. New pilots must be proficient in manual landing technology, which is the redundancy proposed by the combat requirements, otherwise the autopilot will fail or the plane will fail?

After driving the J-7 for so long, Li Zhan's experience in this area is much richer than that of Cheng Da, after all, it didn't take long for Cheng Da to modify the J-11A in the early batch, and then modified the J-10A, and the experience of using the second-generation aircraft is limited to the period of study in the aviation school. At present, more and more new pilots are directly modifying third-generation aircraft during their study at the training bases; first, this is the future training trend, and second, the number of third-generation aircraft equipped by the troops is constantly increasing, and in addition to those used by combat units, there are more or less a few planes distributed to the training bases.

The speed of elimination of second-generation aircraft and the output of third-generation aircraft are inversely proportional, and how long it will take to eliminate the J-7 and J-8 series fighters in service mainly depends on the output of the two series of fighters, J-10 and J-11. The latest modifications of the J-7 and J-8 in previous years are still in production, and the fundamental reason is that the production capacity of the third-generation aircraft cannot keep up.

The production of the J-10 series is steadily increasing, but there are still big problems in the production capacity of the J-11B...... It can be said that one head and two big.

It is believed that in the future, the Chinese Air Force will rely on a large number of J-10 series fighters to enrich the entire establishment and undertake more and heavier combat and training tasks.

Steady as Mount Tai's landing, the front landing gear released a deceleration parachute after touching the ground, the fighter plane slid forward smoothly, Cheng Da even had the feeling of taking a civil airliner, he had to give Li Zhan's landing action a high score in his heart, it was really impeccable.

After getting off the plane, Cheng Da said to Li Zhan seriously, "Xiao Li, I'm basically sure that I have nothing to teach you, you fly one by one, maybe you are more skilled than many old pilots." ”

Li Zhan said with a smile, "Brother Chengda, look at what you said, you can teach me a lot, such as refueling in the air." ”

"Refueling in the air?" Cheng Da was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Do you know how many pilots in our regiment have the qualifications for air refueling?" ”

Li Zhan was puzzled.

Cheng Da named a number.

Li Zhan was taken aback.

Cheng Da said, "Besides, our station does not have the ability to train air refueling, and there should only be a few places in the whole army, yes, the second division of your old army has this qualification, and their air refueling ability is the strongest in the whole army, which is stronger than the 300 divisions." ”

"Is it like this? The J-10 has the ability to receive oil in the air, so I thought you could train it yourself. Li Zhan said.

Cheng Da took off his flight helmet and held it in his hand, boarded the commuter bus after handing over the plane to sign, and said, "But we don't have a refueling plane, there are only a few refueling planes in the whole army, and how many troops are lined up, except for the big names of the 2nd Division and 300 Divisions, the pilots of other units have to go to the designated training base to receive air refueling training." ”

"It's so troublesome." Li Zhan didn't know that the process was so complicated, and he thought that it was like pretending to be training, and an instructor would take it a few times.

Cheng Da said secretly in his heart, you are afraid that there is some misunderstanding of the world-class and difficult subject of air refueling, it turns out that you also have subjects that you really need others to really teach you, yes, the Eagle Falcon Brigade definitely does not understand air refueling, and their fighters do not have the ability to receive refueling in the air.

Thinking about it this way, Cheng Da's heart is much more balanced.

He joked, "In a week, I will go to Shonan to serve as an air refueling instructor, and if you can pass the assessment of our division, and your division will help you contact you, you can go with me there to receive air refueling training." ”

Li Zhan suddenly became interested and asked, "What is the assessment of your teacher?" ”

"Comprehensive assessment, only pilots who pass are eligible to receive in-flight refueling training." Cheng Da said.

In the end, it is due to the shortage of resources, and the number of trained pilots has to be limited by selecting the best of the best. If you have a fleet of hundreds or thousands of tankers, do you need to keep at least one group flying in the sky every day?

On the other hand, the subject of air refueling is recognized as a top-level and difficult subject in the world, and the statistics of how many pilots and how many planes have been sacrificed by the air forces of various countries in the world in order to form a unit and form a combat capability in this area are all troublesome to count.

On the contrary, Li Zhan encountered the J-7E cockpit power outage, which is a once-in-a-century air danger, and the probability of accidents or dangers during the in-flight refueling process is simply a vertical upward trend.

Li Zhan said, "Then I'll try." ”

"Well, come on."

"Well, refueling in the air."
