Looking at the messy runway and the wreckage of the body emitting black smoke, and then looking at the broken wings on the side, the test pilot drooped his head, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, Yang Luo's heart trembled, and his mouth was dry.

It was a tragic accident.

So far, Yang Luo has also experienced several accidents, the most tragic one was the J-11BS forced landing at Linhechang Station, but it was also tight that the fighter plane was more miserable, and the pilot did not have much problem, but this time, the pilot's life and death were directly unknown.

The driver of the rescue vehicle chasing behind the J-10D urgently stepped on the brakes and stopped steadily next to the J-10D.

Regardless of whether there was any danger, the four firefighters wearing firefighting uniforms immediately pounced, unfastened the seat belts tied to the test pilots, and rescued the test pilots who were already hanging their heads.

Other firefighters are activating advanced firefighting equipment to prepare for firefighting operations on the still smoky wreckage to reduce the risk of fire.

The fighters of the guard unit pulled up the barrier and cordoned off the scene.

At the same time, several doctors and nurses in white coats came down from the ambulance, holding a pair of stretchers.

After a brief examination of the test pilot, the military doctor confirmed that the pilot was only unconscious, and immediately got into the ambulance, sounded the siren and drove away from the scene like a wild horse, and went to the medical room of the test flight hospital to treat the test pilot.

Yang Luo and Lao Li did not join the rescue, standing at a safe enough distance and watching quietly, with professional firefighters present, they would only help more and more when they went up.

Seeing the ambulance go away, Yang Luo breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know who this test pilot was, he still silently prayed and blessed in his heart, "I hope you're okay, I wish you a speedy recovery." ”

It is said that test pilots are the most dangerous type of pilots, and there is no one, today, Yang Luo saw it with his own eyes.

Such a serious accident occurred during the first test flight of the J-10D, and in the future, will the pace of the J-10D test flight stop?

There is no doubt that test flights will continue after the problems that have been exposed so far have been solved, and there will be more test pilots who may be at risk until all the problems have been identified and will not stop until they are finalized.

"You must have seen such a serious flight accident for the first time, right?" Lao Li tilted his head to look at Yang Luo, who was frowning, and asked.

"See you for the first time." Yang Luo nodded and said.

"I've been in the test flight yard for more than 10 years, and I've seen more accidents, and I've seen more serious accidents." Lao Li said in a calm tone, "Such an accident may be a major accident in the combat unit, but it is common in the test flight institute. ”

"How serious?" Yang Luo asked.

"The plane exploded during a forced landing, and the test pilot's bones were gone." Lao Li said lightly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, and walked towards the hangar with his hands behind his back.

Yang Luo looked at the departing Lao Li in a daze.

The fire brigade carried out a comprehensive fire prevention operation on the wreckage of the J-10D, confirmed that there was no fire risk of fire, and gradually cleaned up the messy scene.

The leaders of the test flight institute, as well as Chief Engineer Yang and Chief Engineer Wang, hurriedly came down from the monitoring room of the tower with a large number of people, rushed to the scene, entered the isolation area, and dismantled the flight data recording and processing system commonly known as the "black box" installed inside the J-10D.

Only by obtaining the black box and obtaining the flight data and information inside can the specific cause of the accident be determined and targeted improvements can be made.

This accident is not a big deal for the entire test flight institute, and there will be major or minor accidents in the test flight of each new model.

But it is a big deal for the two chief engineers of Cheng Loma and the supporting manufacturers, especially the 606 Institute of engine research units, it is obvious that there are still problems with the engine and need to be improved.

The two chief engineers led a team of experts to study the data of the flight data recording and processing system overnight, and questioned the test pilot of the J-10D after he woke up.

In the end, the specific cause of the accident was obtained, in addition to the engine problem, there were also problems with the flight control system, which caused the J-10D's flight attitude to be extremely poor, which ultimately led to this serious accident.

And this J-10D is basically scrapped, and the cost of repair has reached two-thirds of the new aircraft, and there is no longer any value in repair.

The test flight of the J-10D has also come to an end for the time being, and it will not continue until the second prototype is produced.

The J-10D crash landing accident did not cause much shock in the test flight yard, as if everyone had become accustomed to it, at most a sentence of "Oh, is it serious?" Test pilots are okay, right? ”

No matter how big things happen, the sunrise and sunset will not change.

Although there was an accident the day before, if it was in a combat unit, it might have to be grounded for rectification, but there was no such thing as grounding in the test flight institute, and Yang Luo still took off the next day for a test flight.

This is one of the last two contents of the J-10C's re-test flight, the maximum gauge speed test flight.

The maximum allowable speed of the J-10C is Mach 22, in other words, 26,928 kilometers per hour, of course, this is at high altitude to fly.

Yang Luo flew out at a speed of Mach 235, and when the J-10C reached this speed, it was already trembling very much, and the body let out a violent moan, almost disintegrating, making everyone sweat.

After coming back, he rested for two days and carried out the last test flight, all the test flight missions of the J-10C were over, and Yang Luo could finally return to Dongling Station.

Before leaving, Yang Luo went to visit the test pilot who gave the J-10D a test flight.

The test pilot's condition is not optimistic, he has a severe concussion in his head, although his cervical spine is not broken, his nerves are damaged, and there are several wounds on the surface of his body.

After visiting the injured test pilot and saying goodbye to Chief Engineer Wang, Yang Luo returned to the dormitory, packed up his personal belongings, took the commuter bus to the flight briefing room, changed into flight equipment, and went to the hangar with his bag on his back.

"Lao Li, I hope we have a chance to meet again."

After the routine inspection and handover of the plane, Yang Luo sat in the cockpit of the 301 J-10C, and said to Lao Li, who was climbing on the boarding ladder and preparing to close the cockpit glass.

"It's hard to say goodbye." Lao Li sent his blessings, "Have a safe journey." ”

Then close the cockpit glass cover, climb down the boarding staircase, and remove the boarding staircase.

"Boom!"

With the assistance of an external power source, the J-10C's AL-31FN aero engine was started and was idling, with a roar familiar to Yang Luo.

Yang Luo looked back, raised his right hand, and gave a parting military salute to all the hard-working crew members.

Outside the safe area, the members of the maintenance team led by Lao Li silently raised their right hands and saluted Yang Luo, who took off.

The J-10C taxied out of the hangar, crossed the towpath, and accelerated its taxiing on the runway after obtaining take-off clearance and meteorological parameters.

More than 300 meters later, the nose of the flat cone rose up, like the slender fuselage of a long sword breaking away from the shackles of the ground, and with a slight leap, it stabbed into the blue sky.

The landing gear was retracted, and after a short climb, the J-10C turned around, aimed at the northeast, and continued to climb away.

Below, the entire test flight institute and the bustling Chang'an City are gradually shrinking.

After all, Yang Luo was just a passerby in the test flight institute.

For Yang Luo, the test flight institute is just an episode in his flying career, and his life journey should be in the combat army.

In the distance, the sun bloomed with a bright smile, sprinkled thousands of acres of light, shrouded the J-10C, and plated the J-10C with a layer of golden coating.
