Chapter 224: Obvious Advantages

From the apron to the take-off position, Qin Feng taxied for 2,000 meters, and now, at the end of the runway, Qin Feng stepped on the brakes with both feet, so that his long-awaited take-off finally began.

He knew that the French could so confidently hand over the control of operation to him, a novice who was flying for the first time, mainly because of the excellent operating characteristics of this kind of fighter, and the restrictions would be imposed in the fly-by-wire operating system, and the pilots would not make maneuvers that would endanger flight safety.

In particular, the take-off of this fighter is also very easy, compared to their previous MiG-21, the take-off characteristics are very good, so that they can intuitively feel it, and they can also accumulate a good impression of this fighter.

Ordinary delta-wing fighters need a long runway to take off and land, and in Europe, this is not a good thing, in the event of a war with the Soviet Union, the Soviets will throw all kinds of missiles at any time and blow the runway to pieces.

Why did the British devote themselves to the Harrier VTOL fighter? It's a pity that after so many years of research, I finally found that under the existing aviation technology, it is difficult to achieve this take-off and landing method, and the gains outweigh the losses.

So very quickly, they changed their strategy, not VTOL, but short take-off and landing, similar to Tornado, when designed, short take-off and landing was a key consideration.

The current Mirage 2000 has broken through this defect of the delta wing, and its take-off is also very fast.

After turning on the afterburner, the engine in the tail immediately roared, making Qin Feng feel that the plane couldn't hold back his excitement, and when he released the brakes, there was a feeling of pushing back on his back.

That's right, now the fighter is pushing Qin Feng and accelerating with the fighter, although it is not as strong as the catapult take-off, it is already higher than the previous fighters, including the double-engine J-8.

If it was an ordinary person, I am afraid that his eyes would be dizzy by now, but now, Qin Feng just felt excited, and adrenaline was constantly secreted, stimulating him and making him extremely awake.

The fighter plane kept accelerating, accelerating, Qin Feng slowly brought the operating stick back, and he felt that the horizon began to change, and he had already raised the front wheel!

At this time, you can continue to look at the monitor, look at the runway in front of you, or you can use the afterglow to glance at the flat display, the angle of attack is between 12 and 14 degrees, the fighter keeps the front wheels off the ground, and continues to slide forward, and then, when the speed reaches 320 kilometers per hour, Qin Feng feels that the fuselage of the entire fighter is light, and he has left the runway lightly!

In contrast, the J-7, which flew before, needed to accelerate to 340 km/h, or even 370 km/h, before leaving the runway.

The lower this speed, the better the handling performance of the fighter at low speeds.

In terms of operational essentials, it should be easy to grasp.

The fighter is constantly climbing upward, at this time, it is the thrust of the engine that is the most tested, compared to yesterday's Mirage 4000, because it uses a single engine, so the climb rate is worse, but it is still a greater improvement than the J-7.

At an altitude of four thousand meters, Qin Feng leveled the plane, and at this time, the fighter plane had already reached the sea.

"Qin, you can try the operating lever, you can do any maneuvering, rest assured, you won't enter the tail spin." Colonel Middo said.

So, Qin Feng unceremoniously pulled the operating lever to the end, and this pull felt quite relaxed.

Pilots, who need to do physical exercise, and even pilots, often have wrist-wrestling competitions, why? Because the pilot needs to play the operating stick, and the operating stick is relatively heavy.

In the past, the lever was pulled by a steel cable, and the faster the aircraft, the more force was required to pull the rudder surface, and later, it became a hydraulic operation. At this time, the size of the rod force is determined by the help of the hydraulic system.

The J-7 is such an aircraft, when operating the J-7 fighter, the operating stick is pulled to the end, and the rod force is 25 kg. (Multiply it by 9.8, which is how many Newtons, it's not that Huaxiong is unprofessional, it's that everyone says so.) )

What does 25 kg mean? At this time, the operating lever is equivalent to a bag of white noodles, that's right, the big bag of white noodles is 50 catties.

Flying in the sky, holding a bag of white noodles in his hand, of course, is a test of the pilot's unicorn arm.

At that time, there was a newly manufactured J-7 aircraft, and when the horizontal measurement was measured, the rod force and rod displacement were too small to be solved, so they had to be treated as an out-of-tolerance.

Of course, it's not scrapped, it's just a problem with the operating system, and it can't be wasted, it can only be explained by the factory that the defects of this aircraft are stuffed into the troops.

Who would have thought that after this plane arrived in the troops, it was welcomed by all the pilots of the troops, and everyone liked this plane. It's so easy to fly in the sky!

You must know that the operating power of the J-7 fighter is already the lightest among the aircraft with conventional control systems, but what about the aircraft in your hands now?

Pulling it to the end will not feel laborious at all, because the rod force at this time is only 10 kilograms.

The Phantom 2000 has been controlled by fly-by-wire, which transmits electrical signals, and how much force feedback there is, which can be designed by the system itself, which makes the flight from physical work to technical work, which is quite easy.

At the same time, Qin Feng's operation in this way is also the maximum angle of attack to test this fighter.

If it is an ordinary fighter, as soon as he pulls like this, the nose of the fighter will continue to rise, and eventually exceed the maximum angle of attack allowed by the aircraft, which will eventually cause the plane to stall and crash.

But now, the data on the head-up display is constantly rising, and when the angle of attack reaches 39 degrees, the plane begins to be uncontrolled by Qin Feng, it does not continue to lean upward, and has remained in this state!

Qin Feng let go of the operating lever.

If it was a previous fighter, loosening the operating lever meant that there was no action, then the fighter would keep climbing, but now, in the fly-by-wire system, releasing the operating lever means that the aircraft is leveled, so now, when it is released back, the fighter is automatically leveled.

Many pilots of second-generation aircraft will not understand when flying third-generation aircraft, I obviously did not move, how did it level out by itself?

Of course, this is determined by the internal control system!

Qin Feng secretly rejoiced in his heart, with these few actions, he already liked this fighter, it was too flexible!

The biggest feature of the delta wing fighter is the roll rate, Qin Feng pulled the rod and pedaled the rudder, and at this moment, the sky in front of him retreated at an incredible speed!

At this moment, it was almost a spinning of the world. If there is nothing in the sky, you may not feel it, but if there are a few clouds as a reference, you can see how powerful it really is.

According to the information, its roll rate is as high as 270 degrees per second!
