Chapter 243: The Last Test Flight Project

The more add-ons there are, the harder it is to fly, that's for sure, but it doesn't show up on the lever, which is still very lightweight.

The force feedback of the joystick is self-designed, no matter what the situation, the force feedback is the same, and when it flies, as the speed increases, the fighter becomes flexible again.

Qin Feng pushed the operating lever, and the fighter began to roll, this roll made Qin Feng flurry for a moment, almost the same as when he didn't bring external objects!

These are the advantages of fly-by-wire control! Qin Feng secretly thought in his heart that this kind of layout originally had an innate advantage in rolling, but now, with so many plug-ins, the rollover is still very fast.

At this time, on the observation system on the ground, everyone can clearly observe all kinds of data of the aircraft, and they all exclaimed, this roll still reached 170 meters per second, which is simply excellent, and people feel incredible.

It seems that the wide wing of this layout leads to a very low wing load, which is also very advantageous, and with the canard, it is even better!

After a few days of investigation, Song Lao also had a deeper understanding of this fighter, and at the same time, he also had confidence in his new machine, and he believed that he would definitely be able to build a fighter that was more powerful than the Mirage 2000.

Qin Feng finished maneuvering one by one, and then dived the fighter plane to the sea, where he flew at a thrilling low-altitude and high-speed speed.

When he was in China, it was not easy to fly at low altitude and high speed, Qin Feng overcame a lot of difficulties to fly to the predetermined speed, and now, this Mirage 2000 fighter, relying on the advantage of fly-by-wire, easily achieved this operation.

You don't need to press the lever, pull the throttle directly, it is accelerating, as for the problem of flying, the fly-by-wire system has long been solved by controlling the rudder surface.

This simulation is very important, when the full load, it must be a long-distance attack, ground bombing, at this time, the fighter may have to carry out ultra-low altitude penetration for a long time, if the combat performance of the fighter is not good enough, then it may crash.

In later generations, the flight crash of the Flying Leopard is criticized, and even some people will say that the aircraft design is not good, this is all the paper talk of some Internet trolls, the Flying Leopard was originally jointly developed by the Navy and the Air Force, but then the Air Force did not want it, because a hard indicator they put forward was a parallel two-seater, but the technology at that time could not be reached, and it could only be carried out in series, so the Navy was left to rely on meager capital investment to get this project down, and when it was done, it was to carry anti-ship missiles to attack the enemy's warships.

Flying at ultra-low altitude at sea level, the flying leopard can do it, but later, the air force looked good, and began to eat back grass, asked for a batch, the air force training intensity is very large, and often drill valleys on land, in this case, the flying leopard's aerodynamic design defects come out, because it was designed without considering this combat environment, so in special circumstances there will be accidents.

In short, low-altitude and large-speed penetration is an important indicator to measure the performance of a fighter, and the current Mirage 2000 is very well done, although there are so many external objects mounted outside, it is still quite easy to fly, and the flight state is easy to maintain.

This is the longest time that Qin Feng has flown off, because the maximum take-off weight of any fighter is greater than the maximum allowable landing weight, when taking off, it can take off with a full load, but when landing, it cannot land with a full load, otherwise the landing gear will break because it can't withstand the strong impact force.

There was so much fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank, which was enough for Qin Feng to seriously experience all kinds of flights, and after two hours, Qin Feng returned with two empty auxiliary fuel tanks.

This time, he has been deeply affected by this plane, and it can be said that this is the best one of all the fighters he has flown in!

He cherished this precious flying opportunity, but time kept slipping away, and his test flight was only the last subject.

Air combat.

"Tomorrow is the last subject." After summarizing today's fully mounted flight, Colonel Mido continued to introduce to everyone: "Our Mirage 2000 is a multi-functional fighter, and it is still based on combat missions, so we put the content of air combat at the end, that is, wait for Qin to be familiar with the fighter before flying this subject, Qin has been flying very well these days, and I feel that I am already redundant in the rear cabin." ”

Qin Feng does have a good comprehension of flying, it is simply congenital, and after a few ups and downs, Qin Feng can already operate this fighter skillfully.

Now, after getting acquainted with the fighters, the final air combat project is carried out.

"First of all, let me introduce to you the main weapon we use in air combat, which is the Magic Air-to-Air Missile." Colonel Mido continued.

In China, cannons are mainly used for air combat, and the use rate of missiles is quite low, such as Qin Feng, who has never hit missiles before, Qin Feng just knows about this aiming process.

"Our missile, which is newly developed, already has the ability to attack in all directions and launch off-axis, and the seeker can automatically search at a cone angle of 8 degrees in the search state, and automatically intercept and track the target after it is found."

8 degrees! When they heard Colonel Mido's introduction, General Lin and the other experts, including Qin Feng, all opened their eyes wide.

That's a really high number.

This angle refers to the angle between the axes of the two fighters.

Without the ability to launch off-axis, the two fighters would have to be completely in a straight line before they could launch missiles, as was the case with early missiles.

After having the ability to launch off-axis, it depends on how big the angle is.

The search angle of one's own infrared-guided missile is only 2 degrees, and it is necessary to use a 1.5-degree aiming halo to trap the target in order to make the missile guidance head lock the target aircraft, and in the fierce air battle, it is very difficult to keep on the same axis with the other side, and it requires superb flight skills of the pilot.

Why can't this angle be large? This is determined by the field of view of the seeker, which can only see directly ahead, or a small cone directly in front of it, and if it is large, it cannot be seen.

Your own missiles can only be fired after chasing behind the opponent's buttocks, and they must be targeted, and now, other people's missiles have an angle of 8 degrees!

Wait a minute! At this time, Qin Feng and General Lin thought of something almost at the same time, remembering that when they were watching the battle in the Bekaa Valley, the Israeli Air Force fighters, when they launched missiles, the angle seemed to be even greater! Look like that, it has to be more than ten degrees, right?
