What is the purpose of air intake on both sides? Isn't it just to free up the nose to install a large-caliber radar?

"From the point of view of the overall technological development, the trend of fighters is to improve their detection and attack capabilities more and more. As the gap in the performance of electronic equipment and weapons widens, it will become increasingly difficult for even fighters of the same class of flight performance to close the exchange ratio, let alone reverse, to close the combat ratio. Qin Feng continued: "In the future, if our fighters do not have powerful radar equipment and advanced missile systems, then we will fall into a situation where we will only be beaten and unable to fight back. ”

Mr. Gu listened to Qin Feng's words, and he was very disapprehensive in his heart, such a point of view has existed before, and there has even been a popular missile omnipotence theory, but what about later? Those F-4 fighters were designed without considering the cannon, and the cannon was not added later?

"Okay, Qin Feng, what you said, wait until you go to the 601 Institute, let's report together." Mr. Gu said to Qin Feng: "You first participate in the test flight of our J-8 fighter, so that you won't have the opportunity to go to our 601 Institute, and your views can be directly reflected to your superiors, how about it?" ”

Gu is always very good at doing things, and now the goal he wants to achieve is to let Qin Feng help test fly the J-8, as for how the J-13 is designed, that is a matter of the later stage, Qin Feng's views, only if he participated in the test flight of the J-8, he can go to his superiors to reflect his views.

After speaking, Mr. Gu said to Wang Yang: "Comrade Wang Yang, take Comrade Qin Feng to familiarize yourself with the cockpit of our J-8, and after a few days he has finished flying the remaining tail spin subjects, he will be able to fly our J-8." That's right, our J-8's tail spin subject is still waiting for him to fly! ”

Unconsciously, Qin Feng has become the only candidate in the entire flying tail spin subject, and now that he heard Mr. Gu say this, Qin Feng can't shirk it anyway.

No matter what position you are in, you are always doing revolution.

Wang Yang pulled Qin Feng and got into the cockpit of the J-8, letting Qin Feng sit in the cockpit, the moment Qin Feng stepped into the cockpit, he calmed down, this seat seemed to have a magical magic.

It can be said that the cockpit of J-8 and J-7 are almost identical, the cockpit canopy is turned forward, there is less extra partition frame to fix the windshield, the field of vision is broader, and the dashboard in front of it is similar to the layout of J-7, just because of the double engine, so there are more.

I got into the cockpit in a daze, and I was familiar with the instrument and basic operation in a daze, and at the same time, Wang Yang also began to introduce various matters to Qin Feng.

"Our next test flight is mainly supersonic, our aircraft is twin-engine, and after turning on the afterburner, the feeling of pushing back is very strong." When Wang Yang introduced this, Qin Feng still had a faint sense of excitement, and he knew that he couldn't shirk it.

After all, the J-8 belongs to the most advanced fighter developed in China, but somehow, the model of the J-9 always appears in front of his eyes, and the fighter with the canard layout is what he wants to fly the most!

"However, our supersonic test flight has to take our time, because when the aircraft is designed, there is no confidence in the structural strength, and we have to make a side turn every time we increase Mach 0.1 to test whether the strength of the aircraft is enough."

"And what if it's not enough?" Qin Feng suddenly asked.

This is different from flying J-7, J-7 has a complete prototype to refer to, that is, it is just a modification, modification, and J-8 Each beam, how big the longitudinal beam, is designed by itself, if the designer has no bottom in his heart, he can only rely on the test pilot to fly.

Hearing Qin Feng's question, Wang Yang said: "If it's not enough, then the plane may disintegrate in the air." ”

He said it very easily, but it made Qin Feng chuckle in his heart.

The test flight is high-risk, and the test flight of the J-8 is a risk within the risk, as the test pilot of the J-8, everyone is already commonplace.

If the aircraft disintegrates, then you can only hope for ejection seats, but this ejection method of the J-8 is the same as the original J-7, and the reliability is very low.

Danger, that's also self-evident.

Scared?

Of course not! As a test pilot, you have to challenge danger, how can you be afraid of danger?

The more dangerous it is, the more difficult it is!

Qin Feng was sitting in the cockpit, familiar with everything in the cockpit, and suddenly, the characteristic siren of the fire truck was remembered outside.

Hearing the voice, everyone was stunned, and then they took a step and ran out.

As long as you hear this kind of sound, no matter what you are doing, you will put down what you are doing and run in the direction of the runway like crazy, and everyone will look up at the sky to see what is going on in the sky.

If the sound of fire trucks and ambulances sounded in the base, then how much could they come back, even if they crashed when landing, if there was no such sound, then they might not even be able to find the body in the end.

Here, there will be sacrifices at any time, everyone will not be insensitive, and everyone hopes that their comrades can come back safely.

Qin Feng jumped out of the cockpit and ran out as well.

At this time, some people had gathered outside the runway, everyone raised their heads and watched from a distance, only to see a wide plane in the sky, with black smoke emitting from the engine on the left, coming towards the airport.

Not a fighter.

The current test flight institute mainly conducts test flights of four aircraft, J-7, J-8, Y-7, and Y-8, so everyone simply calls it two-seven-two-eight.

The plane that flew back now was a transport plane with one engine on each side, and that was the light Y-7.

Seeing that the problem was not big, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and under everyone's gaze, they saw that the plane was aimed at the runway and landed steadily.

"What's going on?" Qin Feng said to the people on the side.

"This test flight of the Y-7 hit a bird on the way back."

I see.

Although the bird is flesh and blood, the strength is not high, but the speed of the aircraft is fast, so once it hits the bird, the relative speed is very large, especially when it hits the engine, which can easily cause engine failure.

Fortunately, that plane had two engines, which would have been more risky if it had been a single engine.

Fire trucks, ambulances, all with their sirens blaring, waited on the side, and when the transport plane stopped, they immediately poured fire water on it.

It's thrilling.

Test pilots are a group of men who are constantly challenging death, they can choose a comfortable job, with their skills, they can go to civil aviation, they can have a decent job, a high salary, and a stable life, but they are constantly struggling on the death line, and it is because of them that there is a strong country.

Everyone took off their hats, saluted silently to the plane, and watched the test pilots step off the plane nonchalantly, as usual, without fear of death.
