Chapter 562: God, He's Afterburner!
Mo Ren'an had some vague guesses in his heart, Li Zhan probably wanted to paralyze the nerves of the French, so that he could fly the Rafale fighter alone smoothly and smoothly in the future, and without the interference of the pilot in the front cabin, he could fly boldly according to his own plan.
As a result, Mo Ren'an had to consider the worst-case scenario.
The Rafale B two-seater fighter landed steadily, and the flying technology all over the world is the same, and everyone can see that Li Zhan has no problems with novices in the entire piloting process, and even grasps some action details better than many pilots.
The base commander said with satisfaction, "The Chinese friend can fly the Rafale fighter alone for a 30-minute experience flight, and he has the ability to do so, which is really great." ”
Mo Ren'an smiled a little far-fetched in his heart, and he already regretted supporting Li Zhan to do this. After all, this is outside, driving someone else's advanced fighter plane worth more than 100 million dollars!
At the parking stand, Monet repeatedly emphasized the relevant precautions to Li Zhan, and after Li Zhan boarded the cockpit of a Rafale M carrier-based fighter, Monet also stood on the boarding ladder and continued to emphasize some precautions for the use of the cockpit to Li Zhan. Li Zhan likes the built-in boarding ladder of the Rafale M fighter very much, which is drawn out and unfolded, which is very convenient to get on and off the plane, and it is very compact. The boxy and small engine compartment of the Leclerc main battle tank is a classic, and the French took this design to the extreme.
The built-in easy-to-use boarding ladder is very practical for carrier-based fighters, and the ground crew no longer needs to run around with the boarding ladder, and it speeds up the pilot's boarding and disembarkation time, and does not take up space. The J-15 currently does not have its own boarding ladder, and the Flying Shark uses an external boarding ladder during training, which is the same as that of the Air Force. However, judging from the actual use in the future and the experience of the US Navy, the development of a built-in boarding ladder is indispensable, and it is not difficult for a heavy fighter like J-15 to add a built-in boarding ladder.
The Rafale M carrier-based fighter is about the same size as the J-10, but the payload capacity is stronger than that of the Su-27, and the use of advanced composite materials is a very important reason, which not only saves space but also plays a good role in weight reduction.
After confirming that it was correct, Li Zhan closed the cockpit cover that opened to the right side, and immediately entered the state of being the first in the world. It is difficult for a pilot without strong self-confidence to win the battle. From the moment you take off, you have to firmly believe that you are the first, and the first must be the only one.
Talid to the take-off line, and after getting the command to allow take-off, Li Zhan skied and ran away.
"Major Li, remember what I have emphasized......" Monet hurriedly came to the command tower, pulled the microphone and called Li Zhan.
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhan began to pull onions on dry land.
"Oh......" The mouths of the people in the command tower immediately turned "O", their brows jumped sharply, and their eyes widened, is this the same pilot?
In the flight just now, Monet basically didn't interfere much, Li Zhanfei made everyone think that it was a high-level driving technique, and the conversion of the standard attitude of the action was crisp and neat, just like the old driver driving GL8 in the city, there was no sudden braking or rapid acceleration, in general, it was one word: comfortable.
But now?
Just like a supercar waiting for a green light in front of the stop line, the engine is kept high, and as soon as the green light is on, the brake throttle is released, and it ejects out of the original position in an instant like a golf ball hit by a hard swing.
Li Zhan's "ambition" was obvious at this time, his purpose was to go to the limit of the Rafale fighter, how could he fly step by step? The opportunity will not come again, and it is estimated that there will be no such opportunity in the future, and at the risk of offending the French, you have to test a Rafale fighter fiercely.
Because this fighter is very likely to be the main equipment of the imaginary enemy in the future!
Flying in front of him in a proper manner is just to stabilize the Frenchman, so that they can smoothly allow him to fly the Rafale fighter alone!
Mo Ren'an's worries finally became a reality, but at this time he was not worried, because it was useless to worry!
"It's ugly!"
The afterburner climbed vertically, and the Rafale M shipborne combat was like a vertically launched rocket, getting faster and faster. Suddenly, the fighter plane spun wildly along the axis! Everyone saw the fighter plane spinning at high speed like a rifled cannon and shooting high into the air!
Rolling at high speed with afterburner vertical climb!
The base commander's face has changed, this special fighter will fall apart!
In other words, the fighter will be pressed by the force of several directions in addition to thrust, in order to keep the fighter flying in the established direction, the pilot must constantly push the rudder to correct the nose direction, and the track of the fighter is spiral. In addition, the wing of the fighter needs to constantly fight against air resistance when rolling, and the faster the speed of rolling, the greater the air resistance, if it exceeds the design strength of the wing, it is not impossible to disintegrate!
You must know that at this time, the fighter is climbing vertically with afterburner, and there are too many interaction forces!
Li Zhan did not continue to roll, and he stopped moving after knowing the ultimate roll rate of the vertical climb state of the Feng M carrier-based fighter, but he still kept the fighter in a vertical climb state, silently calculating the time in his heart and paying attention to the changes in the sea altitude data.
The introduction manual mentions that the practical ceiling of the aircraft is 16,800 meters, and it is unknown whether the French Air Force has flown an overrun altitude, so he wants to see if the aircraft can fly beyond the altitude limit during actual use. More specifically, Li Zhan wanted to know the performance of the M88 aero engine at overrun altitudes, and then zoomed in to the high-altitude combat performance of the Rafale fighter. It is very important for our troops, who are very likely to encounter this plane in the airspace of the plateau where Mount Everest is located, to understand this point in the future.
Monet wanted to order Li Zhan not to be so violent, but he hesitated and didn't give the order - you approved someone to fly a Rafale fighter alone and restricted other people's flight movements, which seems very stingy, and the French are also very face-saving! Besides, Li Zhan's flight movements are relatively fast, but they don't exceed the norms, they are all within the flight envelope!
What's more, the commander of the base is there, but he has not put forward an opinion, and the person in charge of the Chinese team, Senior Colonel Mo Ren'an, is also there, this is not a matter of not counting words, it involves military exchanges between the two armies, and spitting on a nail will affect the image of one's own side.
With such a hesitation, Li Zhan broke through the practical ceiling, and he climbed to 17,000 meters in one breath, and then clearly felt that the thrust of the engine was rapidly declining!
Li Zhan almost laughed out loud!
It seems that the high-altitude performance of the M88 aero engine has great shortcomings! The high-altitude combat capability of the Rafale fighter is obviously far inferior to the J-11 series and the J-10 series, if fighting at high altitudes, the fighters of the J-11 and J-10 families have more tactical maneuver space than the Rafale fighter!
From a certain point of view, poor combat capabilities at high altitudes can become the fatal flaw of the Rafale fighter.
Li Zhan can basically determine that the Rafale fighter has excellent acceleration performance and low-altitude performance, but high-altitude performance is a very obvious shortcoming.
There is no doubt that the French are definitely exaggerating when they say that this is an "all-rounder" type fighter, and in order to have a stronger land-to-sea attack capability, Dassault had to weaken the high-altitude performance of the Rafale fighter, which is very important for fighters who need to fight for air supremacy.
It seems that the Rafale is not as powerful as the French boast.
At 17,500 meters, Li Zhan let the fighter resume level flight, at this time, the efficiency of the M88 aero engine was significantly reduced, and after a steady descent to an altitude of 12,000 meters, Li Zhan continued his performance - level flying at top speed. Theoretically, the Air Force version of the Rafale fighter can fly to Mach 1.8, which is about 2,300 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed, but the Navy version of the Rafale M carrier-based fighter is about 500 kilograms heavier than the Air Force version, and the maximum speed is certainly not as high as the former.
In fact, it is still necessary to test the ability to fly multiple blocks.
Li Zhan took off with full fuel and no load, and the take-off weight was less than the standard load, so it fully met the conditions for testing the maximum flight speed. After setting up the autopilot, Li Zhan focused on the changes in the fighter's data, and at the same time did not forget to pay attention to the changes in the airspace weather.
The Rafale's excellent acceleration continues to surprise people, and every acceleration will make the pilot's sense of superiority spontaneously arise, just like waiting for a green light together and your car will accelerate faster, and your sense of superiority will arise spontaneously.
Heading 210, heading south into the airspace of the Mediterranean.
Li Zhan turned on the on-board radar and turned on the search function, and after a few seconds, he received several identification signals, and he quickly checked and found that all of them were friendly signals, and all of them appeared in the east, and that side was Italy. It didn't take long for Li Zhan to understand that it was an Italian fighter, but they were all NATO countries, and it was obvious that the identification between friend and foe was cleared.
The Mediterranean coast, especially the north coast, is almost all NATO countries, and in the whole of Europe, except for a few countries, the use of airspace in many countries is basically used under the framework of NATO.
Li Zhan hadn't flown over the Mediterranean Sea yet, so he couldn't help but look down sideways, the weather was very good, there were no clouds at the bottom, and he could see a large area of clear blue sea, and even a thin and vague white track.
SMILING SLIGHTLY, LI ZHAN'S GAZE FELL ON THE AIRSPEED DISPLAY BAR: 2000KM/H.
Yo, accelerating to a speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour takes less time than the J-10!
Li Zhan, who was focusing on the test flight, didn't know that his extremely fast flight over the Mediterranean Sea had caused the fleets of the two countries that were on a mission in the Mediterranean Sea to sound the air defense alarm!
