Qin Feng didn't watch many planes and performances at the air show, and when he thought of that prototype, Qin Feng was completely itchy in his heart.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and at the same time, as a pilot, he also wants to fly to the highest level, among all the aircraft, the test flight is not the most technical test, and the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft is the most challenging!

No matter what kind of plane, when landing, the softer the better, are steadily falling, but the carrier-based aircraft is not, the landing of the carrier-based aircraft, is directly smashed down, quite high sinking rate, the plane will be directly smashed down, smashed to the deck, and then hook the front of the blocking cable, only in this case, can be landed in the landing area of more than 100 meters, otherwise, 500 meters is not enough.

In this case, the landing gear of the carrier-based aircraft must be strengthened, if it is not strengthened, it will be broken directly, and for the pilot, it is also a brave and fearless challenge, when you watch the deck gradually approach, you will even send out a fear from the heart, only by overcoming this fear, can you land steadily, otherwise, there will be an accident.

Now, the movie Top Gun has already become popular all over the world, and everyone is full of curiosity about carrier-based aircraft aviation, and as a professional pilot, they know how risky it is.

The Tomcat fighter is a heavy air superiority carrier-based aircraft, and its counterpart is the Su-33, there are only these two heavy carrier-based aircraft in the world, so when he wants to see the T-10K, Qin Feng is still full of expectations.

There were also several generals of the navy, as well as several aircraft designers from Shenyang, led by General Zhang, and the group went directly to Ukraine, the Nitka base.

The Nitka base, from a distance, looks like a land aircraft carrier, in fact, its superstructure is built according to the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier as the prototype, and the decks of this kind of base are also tilted forward.

"This deck, which can also be rocked from side to side, has hydraulics underneath." The person in charge of the base explained to Qin Feng and the others.

This system, which is quite complete, consists of a take-off skid deck, a "Svetlana" interception system, and an optical and radio landing guidance system. More than 10,000 tons of steel were used to build the system, which has three floors underground in addition to the deck.

At the same time, since the pilots are to be trained, this deck has to be moved, because when at sea, the deck of the aircraft carrier is swaying left and right, so there is a huge hydraulic device underneath to make the deck shake from side to side, this system, so grand, makes people look extremely shocked.

"Has this base been abandoned?" General Zhang asked.

Now it looks relatively fresh, at least there are traces of maintenance, generally speaking, if it had been abandoned after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it would have been in tatters and overgrown with weeds.

"A few years ago, Russia was still using the base to train pilots, but in recent years, our contract has been terminated." The person in charge said.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia hurriedly drove away the only completed aircraft carrier, but this training base could not be taken away, over the years, the base has been rented by Russia, otherwise Russia will not be able to train carrier-based aircraft pilots, after all, without strict training, it is impossible to complete the take-off and landing of aircraft carriers, if the aircraft carrier is directly used to train new pilots, the accident rate will definitely increase greatly.

But in recent years, on the one hand, because of the increase in prices in Ukraine, and on the other hand, because of the deterioration of relations between the two sides, the Russians can no longer use this base, and they are in the current state.

"Let's go, those prototypes, in the hangar below." The person in charge said.

Everyone walked through the wide flight deck, from the bridge, along the escalator, down to the hangar, in the hangar, the prototypes, just silently, telling the dusty past.

In the hangar, the wings are folded, which can reduce the floor space, after all, on the aircraft carrier, the hangar area is very valuable, even if it is a supercarrier like the United States, the hangar can only accommodate half of the aircraft, and the other half of the aircraft has to be placed on the deck in the open air, if the wings cannot be folded, then there are fewer aircraft that can be stored.

Of course, not all aircraft have to fold the wings, such as the Tomcat fighter, the wing can be swept back, on the aircraft carrier, directly retract to the end, in the later stage, there will be a Rafale fighter, and the wing is not folded, which is another reason, the tail delta wing layout of the aircraft, you can save space by putting it on the opposite side, there is no need to fold the wings, and the original wingspan of the Rafale is not long.

If the country wants to develop carrier-based aircraft, it must be improved from the Su-27, so it is very important to fold the wings of this carrier-based aircraft, the wingspan of this aircraft is 14.7 meters, and after folding, there is 7.4 meters left, so folding can greatly save space.

How to fold, instead of designing it yourself, it is better to use ready-made ones, and the aircraft designers from Shenyang immediately studied the wings.

Qin Feng circled around the plane and found that the plane was actually intact, not a single detail was kept intact, and not a single screw had disappeared!

"I guess this plane might be able to fly again if it is refueled." Qin Feng said.

"Of course no problem, this plane was used a few years ago." The person in charge said.

Sure enough, if you can fly, it will be even better!

However, Qin Feng still suppressed his impulse, and did not ask the other party if he could fly, after all, the plane is now on this nitka, if he wants to fly, he must have taken off from the leaping deck in front, and he has no experience, I am afraid that there will be problems.

The Soviet aircraft carrier, using the leaping deck, the front is upturned, the pilot has to use superb technology, using the fighter's own power, from the deck to take off, among them, the crosswind is the biggest threat, if not done well, maybe after sliding on the jumping deck, it will be blown to the other side, and then fall into the sea.

So, don't mention this kind of request, although you are a test pilot, it is not omnipotent.

"This plane, once Pugachev also flew." The person in charge said again.

Pugachev, Qin Feng's instructor when he was training in Russia! At this time, in Qin Feng's mind, the shadow of that person appeared again.

"If this plane is still intact, can we fly it back?" Qin Feng said, he was really tempted.
