Chief Master Wang said with a serious face, "Comrade Yang Luo, I would like to invite you to participate in the test flight mission of the J-10C. ”

"Test flight mission? Wasn't the test flight of the J-10C completed? Yang Luo asked curiously.

"It is true that it has been test-flown yet, but the J-10C delivered to you has replaced some equipment, and it stands to reason that the performance will be better than the previous batch, but the test pilot has not been able to fly out, so I would like to ask you to fly again." Chief Engineer Wang explained, "I have learned about your situation, you fully meet the requirements of test pilots, good technology, high psychological quality, the only shortcoming is that the flight time is less." ”

After listening to Chief Master Wang's explanation, Yang Luo suddenly realized, and said solemnly, "Chief Master Wang, I am willing." ”

"Comrade Yang Luo, you have to think about it, a test flight is not as dangerous as flying in the army." Chief Master Wang reminded.

"I figured it out, I'm not afraid of danger." Yang Luo's eyes were firm, his face was solemn and serious, and he was right.

What about the dangers?

The duty of a soldier is to defend his family and the country, so he is not afraid of danger.

It is said that the job of a test pilot is the most dangerous among pilots, dealing with death.

To put it bluntly, the job of a test pilot is to fly out of the envelope, maximize the performance of the fighter, and find a critical point, in which various problems may occur, and it is necessary to continuously optimize and debug, so the probability of an accident is naturally high, and the danger will naturally follow.

Test pilots are like guinea pigs in an experiment, although it doesn't sound good to say that, but they are such a nature that they rub shoulders with death almost every day!

Yang Luo wanted to see how dangerous it was and whether he could beat himself down.

"The mission is scheduled for two weeks later, and you will be notified when the time comes, and then you will fly directly to the test flight research institute in the west, and I will wait for you there in advance." Looking at Yang Luo's firm gaze, Chief Master Wang said, "This is the specific task content of this test flight, remember to keep it secret." ”

With that, he handed Yang Luo a file bag.

"Yes." Yang Luo took the file bag and nodded and said.

"Alright, the mission is over, and it's not too early. According to your flight plan, it's almost time to take off, so I won't leave you to eat, and I'll prepare some dry food for you on the way. Chief Master Yang said with a smile and waved his hand.

The person in charge of the handover who followed behind, a colonel officer immediately stepped forward, holding a file bag and a folder in his hand, and said with a serious face, "Comrade Yang Luo, hello, please show the power of attorney." ”

Yang Luo took out the power of attorney issued by Song Yongqi, which Hu Zhongming handed over to him before leaving yesterday, and handed it to the colonel.

The procurement of fighter jets is the business of the Equipment Development Department, and the handover is delegated to the division, so according to common sense, it should be Song Yongqi who comes to hand over, but Yang Luo can receive Song Yongqi's power of attorney.

The colonel carefully read the contents of the power of attorney and executed the procedure meticulously before handing the folder to Yang Luo and saying, "This is the handover and signing document of the new machine, please sign it." ”

Yang Luo did not hesitate to take the folder and open it, and under the guidance of the colonel, signed his name everywhere where he should sign.

Subsequently, the folder was returned to the colonel, and the colonel handed the file bag to Yang Luo.

The word "confidential" is printed in the upper left corner of the file bag, and Yang Luo knows that it contains the technical information of the J-10C, as well as the flight test records and maintenance records of the aircraft.

"Comrade Yang Luo, come and see your new partner." A smile appeared on Chief Master Wang's face, and he said kindly, turned around, and walked towards the J-10C, which was quietly parked and wearing a big red flower.

Silver-grey livery, teardrop-shaped glass cockpit, typical canard aerodynamic layout, new DSI bulge intake duct......

Everything is brand new and reflects the rays of the sun.

Yang Luo also found that the Ma Navy did not talk about the change, that is, the shape of the radome in the nose has changed, the J-10B is a round cone, and the J-10C in front of him is a flat cone, and it seems that the area of the vertical tail and flaps is also larger than that of the J-10B.

Yang Luo stared at the J-10C in front of him, his eyes flashing with inexplicable joy.

"Comrade Yang Luo, the plane has been prepared, please receive it." Chief Master Wang stood next to the J-10C, with a smile on his face, and said to Yang Luo.

"Thank you." Yang Luo thanked him.

A maintenance crew sent a plastic bag containing some dry food, the time is now eleven o'clock, and the time for landing and refueling is set at half past one, and it is definitely impossible to eat lunch on time.

Yang Luo held the flight helmet in his left hand and dry food in his right hand, and under the gaze of a crowd, he stepped forward to meet the J-10C in front of him for routine inspection before takeoff.

Around the fuselage, carefully inspect every part, from the radome in front to the tail nozzle, from the landing gear in the belly to the back of the fuselage, and the fingertips gently scratched the smooth surface of the fuselage, Yang Luo was inexplicably excited, he finally had a third-generation fuselage.

After checking and confirming that it was correct, Yang Luo sat down the boarding ladder into the J-10C cockpit, fastened his seat belt, put on the TK-10C flight helmet, and connected to the cockpit.

The crew removed the Chinese feature on the nose of the aircraft - the big red flower, closed the cockpit glass cover, removed the boarding ladder, and everyone on the ground withdrew to a safe area, and the two crew members drove a power supply car.

Yang Luo exhaled softly, looked at the cockpit where everything was brand new, and turned on the main power switch with a little excitement, activated the onboard avionics system, and checked the instruments.

After the inspection, according to the normal operation steps, first turn on the oil supply, the external power supply vehicle power supply, and assist in starting the AL-31FN aviation engine.

"Boom!"

The turbine blades rotate from static to motion, and the engine starts to roar violently. On the dashboard in the cockpit, the operating parameters of the engine, speed, pressure, thrust and other data are immediately displayed.

Yang Luo turned his head to look at Chief Yang who had retreated to the right side outside the safe area, raised his right hand and saluted solemnly, as a farewell, turned on the airborne radio communication channel, and contacted the station tower "Call the tower, 30026 request slide out, over." ”

30026 is the factory number of this aircraft, since there is no combat number now, you can only use 30026, otherwise how to know who you are.

The tower quickly gave instructions to slide out, and Yang Luo immediately gestured forward, staring ahead with his eyes, and slowly and smoothly slid towards the main runway of the station under the command of Qi Yu.

Braked and stopped on the runway, contacted the tower again to obtain take-off permission and meteorological parameters, Yang Luosong braked, pushed the throttle valve, and the J-10C roared on the runway After running wild on the runway for 350 meters, he raised his head and climbed, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, piercing the blue sky.

After climbing to 2,000 meters, he adjusted his course and continued to climb to a predetermined flight altitude of 8,000 meters, heading northeast, embarking on a journey of more than 3,000 kilometers home.

Behind him, Cheng Loma quickly retreated and became smaller, and finally disappeared.
