Chapter 520: Flying in the Dark Cabin
There will really be more opportunities in the future, not to mention after getting on the ship, let's just say that the training that is being carried out now is more dangerous than normal flight training. Merit opportunities are often at risk.
The quasi-flying sharks have a different understanding of "disappearing between talking and laughing" than ordinary people - either they are enemies or themselves, and there is never a second possibility.
The dark cabin flight test team was formally established, and Li Zhan, Zhang Xueyang, Cao Fufei and Tang Leilei formed the first batch of people who ate crabs.
Li Zhan first took the ground crew to work in the middle of the runway, starting from south to north, the length of the first kilometer to the second kilometer belonged to them, just avoiding the first training area and the second training area, but for safety reasons, the three places could not take off and land fighters at the same time, so it was still necessary to diverge the time, but this result has saved a lot of time compared with conventional training.
After determining the position of the blocking cable area, infrared sensors are deployed on both sides, one side emits infrared rays and the other side receives infrared rays, four groups are deployed for simulating four blocking cables, and the infrared receivers of which group have signal interruption, prove which blocking cable is hooked by the tail hook, and greatly save the time of redeploying the simulated blocking cable.
As a necessary supplementary means and backup system, high-speed cameras are also installed on both sides for continuous shooting of fighter jets when they touch the ground, just like the high-speed cameras on both sides of the sports track and field race on the finish line extension. This optical referee system also has a very important function - it can calculate the position of the tail hook touching the ground by shooting the landing gear landing position and taxiing distance of the fighter, which means that the fighter without the tail hook can also be used for training.
In addition, the optical referee system also includes a camera system that can film the entire process from the time the fighter decides the altitude to the time it comes to a complete stop.
With the support of two systems, the training results can be guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Since the theoretical recovery time of these two systems is almost negligible, the flight training in the dark cabin can theoretically be carried out continuously and very efficiently, as long as the aircraft is sufficient.
Is the plane enough?
In addition to the J-15, how much does the others cost...... There are not many, but the flying shark training is the top priority in the current work, so the sea division ordered it, and the sea and air eagle force sent three J-11A heavy fighters to arrive at the fertile ground flight training base in one go, plus the 037 J-7EGGH light test aircraft with the ability to go on the ship, and the dark cabin flight has four aircraft, which basically has the ability to "rest and never stop" continuous rotation training.
All personnel from the relevant departments on the ground, including the tower commander, were in place in two shifts, and after 24 hours of repeated testing of the relevant systems, all preparations were announced.
Li Zhan was the first to eat crabs.
For the first flight of the experimental group of the dark-cabin pilots, the meteorological department specially selected an "auspicious day of the zodiac" and arranged it to start at 5 o'clock in the evening, when the sun had not yet set, and the ground personnel had good visibility, which would not have a great impact on the pilots.
Li Zhan waved goodbye to the three comrades-in-arms and came to the tarmac, No. 037 J-17EGGH was ready to go, the thick canvas covered the cockpit canopy and the front windshield, and a tractor was already in place at the nose of the aircraft. After accepting the plane according to the regulations, Li Zhan boarded the plane, and the mechanic connected the radio and oxygen mask with him, checked the status of the avionics system, confirmed that the maintenance personnel were evacuated, and the cockpit cover was slowly closed.
Flying in strict accordance with the instructions of the tower is the most important principle of dark cabin flight, and the pilot must unconditionally trust the instructions and instrument data of the tower without the reference of the outside world.
"Hole three crutches, hands and feet disengaged, confirm the answer." Lao Chen Tou personally commanded to show his attention.
Li Zhan confirmed that his hands and feet were not in contact with the manipulating medium, and immediately replied, "Dong Sangui disengagement confirmed, over!" ”
"Go to the take-off line and wait for the next command." Old Chen Tou immediately said.
"Understood."
The tractor began to tow the J-7EGGH 307 to the take-off line in the middle of the runway, and the pilot was not allowed to exert control over the aircraft before takeoff.
The cockpit canopy and front windshield were tightly covered with cloth No. 037 J-7EGGH, which looked like a masked hussar. The three auxiliary fuel tanks mounted on heavy pylons under the belly and under the wings on both sides are also ruthlessly explaining to the world the fact that no amount of change can change the inherent disadvantage of short legs.
The tractor was quickly evacuated and the runway was emptied.
After all the departments were ready, Lao Chen Tou gave Li Zhan the order to take off.
For example, when Li Zhan was in the training base, he was exposed to the dark cabin flight very early because he learned relatively quickly, and the training time was much longer than others, and later he had a lot of night flight experience in Beiku, so for him, the dark cabin flight was one of the most solid subjects.
The relationship between dark cabin flight and night flight is very close and well known to the world.
Having to be blind in broad daylight brings more of a fear of the unknown and a subjective distrust of others that challenges the pilot. Every pilot who goes down to the army has to overcome these obstacles, so the psychological quality of the pilot is usually very strong.
In the classic combat example of handling dangerous situations, as long as the land and air conversations that can be heard are extremely calm, whether it is the pilot or the tower commander, even if the plane is destroyed and killed in the next second, their voices and tones do not fluctuate in the slightest. The presentation in some film and television works is artistically processed, and the real dangerous land and air dialogue is so calm that it is shocking.
Discipline requires that air and ground conversations must be articulate, and bringing emotions with you will obviously have an impact on this.
Defending the border in the ordinary and sacrificing oneself in the ordinary is a true portrayal of the pilots of the Chinese Air Force.
The most significant improvement of the 037 J-7EGGH is the flight control system, a set of all-fly-by-wire flight control system developed based on the three-axis and four-redundant digital fly-by-wire flight control system used in the J-10 series fighters, which is suitable for light fighters. This system was used in the FC-1 "Thunder" light fighter, and after several years of use, the system has proven to be advanced and reliable.
The foundation of the Thunder Dragon is the J-7, and on the basis of the J-7E, he underwent major surgery to replace it with such a flight control system, which made Li Zhan feel that it was better to simply build a new one. He is not a scientist, so he does not know that the continuation and improvement of the same model is completely different from rebuilding a testing machine.
Moreover, the focus of the 037 J-7EGGH now is to have the ability to take off and land on the ship, and Shen Fei needs relevant data in this regard.
The "blindfolded" Li Zhan took off easily, ran normally, took off and climbed normally, and neatly retracted the landing gear while sliding left to climb, and the white airflow pulled out by the wingtips was clearly visible in the dusk, making Lao Chen Tou feel that his blood pressure had soared for a while......
