Song Lao rode a partial nephew, running back and forth on the runway, checking, he had to move, if he didn't move, his brain would keep thinking about other things, and now, it could allow him to find a moment of peace from the chaos of his thoughts.

How much can a person do in his life? For fighter designers, it is a great honor to be able to fly a fighter in their lifetime, and many designers are unable to turn their ideals into reality throughout their lives.

Song Lao has been studying on the duck layout, watching the fall of the J-9 project, after so many ups and downs, now, finally, J-10 is going to make its first flight, his mind at this time, is still churning, he knows, this first flight, how significant the significance is, not only the first time of Song Lao, the first time in Chengdu, but also the first time of the entire motherland's aviation industry!

This is an advanced fighter developed by itself that is completely out of the Soviet system, and the configuration of this fighter is different from all previous fighters! It's not the same as any other fighter in the world!

Of course, there will be people who say that there is a high degree of similarity with Israel's Lion fighter, but in fact, it has little to do with the Lion fighter at all, this fighter is to bomb the ground as the main task, it is a bomb truck, and its own fighter is mainly air superiority, it is used to seize air supremacy, the mission of the two is different, and the lion has not been developed at all, it is a semi-finished product, and when it is dismounted, there are still a large number of problems with aerodynamic layout that have not been solved, and their own side has come to the day of the first flight of the prototype!

Zhou Lao rode a 28 bicycle in the back, as the chief pilot of the test pilot, Zhou Lao's pressure is also very great, because this is a brand new fighter, the first test flight, is static instability, even the current third-generation aircraft in the F-16, in the first flight, is also added to the counterweight, become a static and stable layout, the first flight on this plan, their own is the first time!

Can't make any mistakes!

"It's a good day, it's a good day for the first flight." At this time, in the flight preparation room, Qin Feng said as he put on the flight outfit.

Now, there are a total of five test pilots flying J-10, all of whom have carried out many operations on the plane, and they have all reached the standard of the chief, of course, as long as Qin Feng's body does not have an accident, the first flight will definitely be his.

Before the first flight, you can't be too nervous, but now, just after breakfast, I came to the flight preparation room, and while putting on my equipment, Qin Feng started to chat.

"Report, news from the meteorological department is out. The height of the cloud base is 1 km, and the visibility is 2 km." When he just came out, Qin Feng also said that the meteorological conditions were good, but now, when he heard the report from the ground crew, he was stunned, why, the meteorological conditions have deteriorated again?

In fact, if it is flying other aircraft, there is no problem at all in sortie under such meteorological conditions, but now, this is the first flight of the new aircraft, according to the first flight requirements of the cloud base height is greater than 3 kilometers, visibility is greater than 5 kilometers, this is also to maximize safety.

And now, the meteorological conditions do not meet this requirement, Chengdu, this kind of foggy weather is also very common, although Qin Feng is anxious, he can't be reluctant, he can only take off the anti-load clothes: "It seems that it is prepared in vain, okay, let's just repeat it again systematically." ”

Now, Qin Feng is already very confident, it can be said that as long as the plane does not catch fire in the air and the engine does not fail, Qin Feng is fully sure that the plane will fly back, and it is precisely because of this confidence that Qin Feng insisted on the first flight in a static and unstable state.

However, after all, flying is a high-risk one, and accidents can occur at any time, which requires a whole set of emergency plans.

Before he could say two words, Qin Feng saw a familiar figure, and immediately shouted: "Minister Wang, you are here too?" ”

The old comrade-in-arms when he flew the Jian-8 back then, and now he has become the leader of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, Qin Feng called him Brother Wang in private, and on this occasion, he called the minister.

"Well, Qin Feng, are you ready for the first flight? I'll come and see you. Minister Wang looked at Qin Feng with a smile on his face.

The first flight of J-8 was in the hands of Minister Wang, and now, decades have passed, and J-10 is about to usher in its first flight!

"Ready!" Qin Feng said: "It's just that the weather is not beautiful. I don't know if I can fly today. ”

He turned his head and saw that on the calendar board, the sign of March 23 was clearly visible, and the date that had been set down could be delayed because of the weather?

There was a roar outside, no need to look, Qin Feng also knew that it was a Jian-7, this plane took off, it must have gone up to observe the clouds.

The meteorological department is observing on the ground, and at this time, it is necessary to let people go up to the sky to observe it, and when it flies down, they will be able to know.

"As test pilots, we do what we have to do, and the rest is to wait." Minister Wang said: "When I look at this plane, the most difficult thing should be to land, right?" ”

is worthy of being a veteran, and he can see at once that the key to the problem is coming, which is also what Qin Feng is most worried about.

Unlike previous fighters, the J-10 uses a novel outer figure-eight landing gear, which can free the wings to hang more missiles, but also results in a wheel base of only a little more than 2 meters, which is the smallest of all the planes that fly by, very far in the middle. Although the Su-27 and the like are also, after all, it is a large aircraft, the J-10 has a small wheel base, but the wingspan is more than 9 meters, so it must be stable when landing, once there is a problem, it may cause the plane to roll over.

I've skied many times, but I haven't flown yet. In addition to the landing gear problem, there is also the PIO that makes all telex systems smell discolored!

"Yes, the hardest part is landing, but we're confident." Qin Feng said.

After chatting for a while, the roar of the plane came again, Qin Feng couldn't hold it back, and immediately asked the ground crew to run and ask.

"They said the weather would get better in about a little bit."

"What, a little more than a clock?" Minister Wang raised his arm, looked at his watch, then waved his hand, and said: "It's all afternoon, now, let's go to dinner, immediately, immediately, I will go with you, and also eat a standard meal for pilots!" ”

It's only ten o'clock now, and it's impossible to wait here until more than one o'clock, so it's the best choice to go eat now.

It's just that at this time, who can eat it!
