Flying, for what? Is it for the sake of fighting in the sky? No.

Throughout the history of the development of airplanes, when airplanes first appeared, even if they were carrying mortar shells, they had to be thrown at the enemy's position with their hands, and the greatest power of the aircraft was to attack the enemy from the sky!

Many people will like the excitement of air combat combat, but in fact, air combat combat will not directly change the fate of the war, ground bombing is possible, and the air raid by the United States on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in later generations forced the other side to surrender, and this is a living example.

The meaning of the existence of the aviation unit is ground attack.

This is also during the honeymoon period with the West, the West can provide all kinds of fighter jets, help improve fighters, and so on, but the West will definitely not provide offensive weapons to the country, fighter planes, no matter how to provide them, but attack aircraft and bombers, absolutely not, and even, all kinds of advanced systems above are embargoed by the West, and they will not look at the country to improve this kind of attack capability.

(When checking the information, I also saw such a statement, when I talked about the RB199 engine with the West, the progress was about the same, but at this time, suddenly the J-7 leaked, and the West thought that this engine was for the J-7, and then stopped cooperating, of course, the authenticity of the news needs to be dialectical, but the West's restrictions on attack aircraft are obvious.) ）

In the past, it was on the basis of the Jian-6 that the Qiang-5 was created, and later, in the competition between the Qiang-6 and the H-7, the Qiang-6 failed, and the J-7 came to the present.

After so long of test flights, now, finally, this aircraft has come to this point, and it has begun to really carry weapons for test flights, although it can't be launched yet, just flying with missiles on it, which is exciting enough.

The Navy is also in dire need of this capability.

The warships of the Navy have always only had anti-ship capabilities, and only anti-ship capabilities, air defense, anti-submarine, these are not good, so if there is really any war, the navy will be very uncomfortable, if the brigade class goes to perform a mission and encounters the opponent's anti-ship missiles, it can only rely on the anti-aircraft guns on the warship to intercept it.

Therefore, in the past few years, when there was a conflict at sea, we could only rely on some small frigates, and large warships did not dare to go out, and when the navy did not earnestly improve its air defense capability, warships really could not shoulder the mission, so we could only rely on air power.

Naval aviation carries anti-ship missiles, which can control a large area, and it is easier to ensure their own safety, and if something really happens, the sacrifice is very small.

The naval aviation's maritime attack capability is very important, and it is not enough to rely on the H-6 alone, and the J-7 is shouldering the most important mission of the naval aviation!

Now, the J-7 is finally going to mount missiles and conduct test flights.

The preparations before the test flight must be sufficient, and in addition to routine inspections, it is also necessary to check the mount of the missile.

A missile weighing half a ton is mounted on the pylons of the wings, and if the pylons are not fully fixed, they are easy to fall during maneuvers.

As the weight increases, the air resistance also increases, and after the missile is mounted, it will inevitably bring about an increase in drag, so how does it affect the take-off and acceleration of the aircraft, it is necessary to calculate it on the ground and verify it in the sky.

After a busy day, the next morning, Qin Feng appeared in front of the fighter again, as an ordinary test flight mission, there were not too many people gathered here, only Chen Lao stood there, waiting for Qin Feng and his weapon operator.

The leather shoes were polished, and the flight jacket was also shiny, Qin Feng said to Chen Lao: "Please rest assured, we are mentally prepared, after the addition of the weapon system, it may bring about the resonance of the aircraft in certain airspace and speed, and when the time comes, there will also be an emergency plan." ”

At that time, because of the resonance of the oil pipe, the J-8 caused an aircraft to catch fire, and any small problem that could not be seen could bring disastrous consequences, but it was absolutely not possible to be afraid to move forward because of difficulties.

Four missiles, this is what the J-7 should look like.

Chen Lao nodded: "Today's test flight subjects are a bit much, if you can't finish flying, you can fly again tomorrow." ”

This is not the first flight, go up and turn around and come down, this test flight, after going up, a lot of actions at subsonic speed, can be tested to test the overall performance of the aircraft, to test the mount of the missile, for the future launch of the experiment preparation.

"Understood, don't worry." After Qin Feng finished speaking to Chen Lao, he and Yang Lin climbed onto the plane.

When the two Spey engines turned on the afterburner and slid forward, Qin Feng did not feel that the operation of the aircraft had changed much.

Although it is equipped with four missiles, these are anti-ship missiles, which were originally meant to fly in the sky, so it must also be streamlined, the aerodynamic drag is very small, and more importantly, the weight of the J-7 itself is very large.

If it is a J-7, even if it is hung under the belly, it will definitely feel heavy, for an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of nearly thirty tons, it is not obvious to hang more than two tons of weapons, not to mention that every time the test flight is made, the fuel is not full.

Since there is no problem with sliding, then of course it is the same as usual, pull the operating lever, lift the landing gear in front, get the nose up, and then, the fighter continues to glide and take off.

Do you feel it?

It's almost the same as hanging the auxiliary fuel tank, since it was easy to transfer when hanging the auxiliary fuel tank in the past, what else can be the problem now?

An aircraft, the most important thing is the problem of the engine, Qin Feng is now deeply touched, a qualified engine, will make the test flight team more confident, it is precisely because of the mature Spey, so the test flight of the J-7 has all kinds of problems, but as long as the engine does not turn off, the pilot is sure to fly back.

It's a pity, it can't be used for J-10, if J-10 can use this kind of engine, I'm afraid that a prototype has been built by now, Qin Feng thought secretly in his heart.

"083 attention, climb to five thousand meters." Ground commands came from the headset.

When the test flight call was made, the number of the aircraft was called, and the number of this aircraft was already 083.

"083 Roger." Qin Feng replied while watching the pointer of the altimeter slowly turn, after loading four missiles, the climb was still so neat, and the engine was really powerful.

If it were a fighter with two third-generation engines, how fast would it climb? For example, F15, for example, Su-27!
