Chapter 852: The Thunder Dragon's First Flight
However, this kind of active radar-guided missile did not continue to develop, because there is a Thunderbolt-12, so Qin Feng is guessing, which model of Thunderbolt-11 is it?
"It's a Thunderbolt-11A." Song Lao said: "When our aircraft was designed, we didn't plan to mount the original Thunderbolt-11, anyway, the total production of this kind of missile is not much, and it would be good to give it to the troops of Jian-8, but if necessary, it is no problem to mount." ”
This is the advantage of their own production, all the technology is their own, so they can change how they want, they don't have to care about the development and changes of the missile, the missile has a new model, and they only need to modify the fire control system, they can mount it, even if it is a Thunderbolt-12 in the future, as long as it matures, it can be mounted immediately.
A smile appeared on Qin Feng's face: "Yes, this missile has a longer range and more advanced technology, and in the future, it is estimated that it will not be able to look at the enemy." ”
In the era when the Jian-10 project had just been established, the mainstream view at that time was that medium-range missiles were unreliable and could only be solved by dogfighting, especially since a large number of experts got this experience from the Vietnam War, which was regarded as a classic.
However, the times are developing, technology is advancing, and in the future, the battles will break out more and more in the range of over-the-horizon, the target is not visible to the naked eye, and the battle is over.
Although the advent of the era of stealth aircraft, it will not be possible to see the target at a long distance, and the F22 of the American stealth is also quite maneuverable, but if nothing else, the other party will definitely not use the stealth machine to engage in close-range combat, because that kind of aircraft is too precious, and in close-range combat, there may be a situation where the master is killed by punching, so this stealth aircraft is likely to try to avoid this kind of close-range combat.
In the future, it really belongs to the era of over-the-horizon air combat, and the J-13 developed in Shenyang in the past is absolutely not in line with the trend of the times, but fortunately, the wise superiors chose Chengdu and J-10.
At this point, there is only one last step left.
"Alright, that's the end of today's meeting." Song Lao said: "Next, it's time to relax, let's watch a video." ”
Watching the video? How could Song Lao have such idleness? Qin Feng was very strange, when a clear image appeared on the TV in the conference room, Qin Feng immediately stood up: "Our Thunder Dragon, the first flight?" ”
The yellow-skinned fighter waiting quietly on the tarmac of the airport was the Thunder Dragon fighter that Qin Feng had seen, and the number 01 on the nose was also clearly visible.
"Wait, why does it still have missiles on its wingtips?" Qin Feng was surprised again.
Generally speaking, the first flight is very dangerous, so the first flight will generally not be equipped with missiles, even if it is a model, after all, it may affect the aerodynamic layout.
Who would have thought that the first flight of the Thunder Dragon was directly carried with two missiles, and moreover, it was an internationally customary wingtip pylon! This novel approach is something that only the West will adopt.
Counting the time, it's also the turn of the Thunder Dragon to make its first flight, everyone is here to test fly the J-10, but they didn't catch up, so they can only watch the video and enjoy it.
"By the way, I don't seem to have seen Yang Gong recently." Tang Gang said.
Yang Gong is responsible for the flight control system of J-10, and in the test flights in the past few years, Yang Gong can be seen every day, but recently, it has not appeared for a long time.
"Of course, Yang Gong is the chief designer of the Thunder Dragon, and now he is busy with the first flight of the Thunder Dragon, how can he come over." An old comrade said.
I see! Song Lao can promote newcomers. In Chengdu, many key positions are led by young people.
Only young people, can be determined to innovate, will not be conservative, Shenyang and Chengdu, in this point of practice is very different, now, the young Yang Gong, began his career as a chief teacher, the first project, is Xiaolong.
The original design of the Thunder Dragon came from a wide range of sources, including Grumman and Mikoyan, but in the end, it was completed in the hands of the 611 Institute, and it was they who tinkered with this aircraft step by step, and now, this aircraft is ushering in the glorious moment of its first flight.
No one spoke, only a majestic and powerful voice from the conning tower, and the first flight began!
At the tail of the engine, there were puffs of black smoke, and the start of the RD33 engine was such a scene, the black smoke kept rising, scattered in the rear of the aircraft, and finally, the black smoke dissipated, and the tail turned into flames, sprayed out, and the engine started normally!
You can see the flame of the afterburner, and you dare to turn on the afterburner during the first flight, which shows that you are quite satisfied with this aircraft.
The fighter plane was still sliding on the runway, the speed was getting faster and faster, Qin Feng looked at the front wheel raised, and couldn't help but sigh: "The performance is good, the vortex pulled out by the side wing is quite successful." ”
The main aerodynamic result of the third-generation aircraft is the vortex, which uses this special airflow to act on the wings behind to increase the lift of the wings, and can be pulled up at such a short distance, of course, it is the effect of the vortex lift.
The landing gear in the back also left the ground, and the fighter plane had already taken off!
In an instant, the ground was jubilant, and there was no feeling of being sluggish and cold when J-10 made its first flight, after all, the flight controller had matured, and there was only a physiological cheer.
After the fighter plane went to the sky, there was no landing gear, this is a common way to make the first flight, for the sake of stability, Qin Feng looked at this plane, and immediately remembered his first flight, in a blink of an eye, the motherland's aviation industry has become stronger, one after another planes have been built!
The plane was in the lens of the camera, gradually getting smaller, and then soon, the roar came again, and it began to fly all over the field!
In the conference room, there was also applause, and everyone was proud of the successful first flight of the Thunder, and at this moment, everyone was shocked: "How can this be?" ”
The first flight was supposed to be stable and safe, but after this time, Xiaolong suddenly made a big overload maneuver!
From a distance, the yellow-skinned Thunder fighter has its fuselage as its axis, its wings spinning, and the plane moving forward like a drill, drawing a trajectory similar to a DNA chain, which is the common barrel rolling.
This is the first flight, he actually dares to do this, he is even bolder than he was back then, his title of Qin Daring should be given to others, Qin Feng thought secretly in his heart.
It's not just the barrel rolling, the action continues, horizontal hovering, somersault action, where is the first flight, it's simply an air show, and without putting the landing gear, it looks even more alternative.
