The in-flight refueling tube is thicker.

The inner diameter must have enough diameter, because to meet the needs of refueling, the inner diameter is smaller, the fuel inside will flow slowly, and if you want to increase the strength, you can only increase the outer diameter, which is thicker, which also means that its air resistance is greater.

Qin Feng glanced at the new in-flight refueling tube, exchanged some opinions with Lao Chang, and then stepped onto the plane.

This time it's a wet butt, and it must be a success!

"001, you come first." After liftoff, Lao Chang shouted over the radio.

The last time I did the docking, it was Qin Feng who carried forward the style, let the old man come first, it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes later, the honor belongs to the whole collective.

"001 Roger." Qin Feng shouted as he began to slowly approach the air tanker, the cone was flickering in the sky, these days, it has been fighting against this cone set, it is sometimes docile, sometimes irritable, it is really not easy to figure out its character!

Qin Feng slowly approached, closer and closer, closer and closer, he held his breath and looked at the air refueling tube that was gradually approaching.

Air refueling in the West is not so complicated, it seems that I still have to find more information, ponder and study it well, my own air refueling, always encounter all kinds of problems, this time, will there be any accidents?

The distance has reached a meter!

When there was no test flight for air refueling, this distance was almost Qin Feng's forbidden area, but now, he no longer had any fear, for Qin Feng, this close proximity brought him not any pressure, but a stimulus, an extra feeling of excitement.

Closer, closer! The conical sleeve was still fluttering as before, even if it was filled with fuel, it was still so difficult to figure out.

Now, let me conquer you!

Little by little, little by little, now, there are only ten centimeters left, and this last tremor must be maintained!

Qin Feng's hand pushed the throttle stick quickly and lightly, and the fighter jumped forward, and the air fuel receiving pipe had accurately penetrated into the conical sleeve for refueling!

At this moment, Qin Feng was even worried, was his range of movements a little large, and this oil pipe was about to break again? If it is broken, he can only fly back and hand it over to Lao Chang to continue the test flight.

It's not terrible to fail, give Lao Chang an example, and now, Lao Chang is watching himself nearby, let him sum up his experience from his failures, and strive for his success.

"Click!" A slight voice came into Qin Feng's ears, and when Qin Feng thought that this gas pipe was about to break, he couldn't help but take another look at it from the corner of his eye.

It's not broken, the gas pipe is good!

Could it have been successful?

Qin Feng looked down and found that on his dashboard, an extra light began to light up, which was the indicator light for refueling in the air!

"001 reports, I've successfully received in-flight refueling!" Qin Feng shouted.

At this moment, even the refueling guide on the air tanker was stunned, everyone was mentally prepared, if it broke again this time, let's continue to think of a way, but everyone didn't expect that Qin Feng would be like a knife in his hand, simply and neatly, and the docking would be successful all of a sudden!

These are all automatic, the docking is successful, the internal lock, and after the locking, the fuel inside begins to be entered.

Of course, if the real air refueling, there are still problems next, for example, with the continuous refueling in the air, the refueling opportunity is getting heavier and heavier, the refueling opportunity is getting lighter and lighter, the front tanker should continue to maintain a smooth flight, and the throttle should be slightly reduced, and the rear refueling machine should maintain the way of continuing to refuel, and the throttle must be refueled, especially in the back, the adjustment is more important, but that is all later.

Let history remember this moment, the Air Force of the Motherland finally succeeded in carrying out the first air refueling! Through a short air refueling pipe, the fuel was transported from the bombing oil 6 to the J-8!

It worked!

At this time, there was already jubilation below.

"Old Gu, it would be good if you came earlier, and if you came earlier, we would have succeeded earlier." Lao Yang, the chief engineer of the air tanker, said to Mr. Gu.

"Lao Yang, you are idealistic." Mr. Gu said, his face was also happy, refueling in the air, and finally achieved a historic moment, great!

In this way, there is greater hope for the improvement of the J-8, the Air Force and Naval Aviation need long-range fighters, and it is enough to have our J-8, this technology, of course, must be transplanted to the J-8C.

"001 is now detached." Qin Feng said, of course, the experiment in the air is not over, one success is nothing, and there are still a few more attempts.

It is also very easy to extricate, as long as the distance is opened, the locking mechanism inside the tapered sleeve feels the tension increase to a certain value, and it is automatically released.

At the moment of relief, there was a fuel overflow, swaying in the sky, and quickly disappeared, Qin Feng made persistent efforts, continued to approach slowly, according to the way just now, tried again, sure enough, this second time, it was also easily docked successfully!

"Chang, you're coming!" Qin Feng was so happy that he didn't even shout the call code in the air, he directly shouted Lao Chang's name, and Lao Chang was also the one who took it, and after Qin Feng withdrew from his position, he immediately pushed the operating lever and approached this side.

Lao Chang is also very happy, Qin Feng succeeded, and he is absolutely fine, just now Qin Feng entered from the left side, just like the previous cooperation between the two, Lao Chang from the right side, slowly approached, approached, and then, it was also a success, docking steadily, refueling in the air!

This shows that the technology of refueling in the air has already been mastered by the Chinese side, and as long as it undergoes rigorous training, it will be able to complete this operation, and in the future, it will be able to have a way to increase the range of fighter jets!

Lao Chang also docked twice, it was perfect, now, they don't need to fly anymore, after they return, there will be warm people to welcome them, this time, Lao Chang has made up his mind, let Qin Feng go down first! I don't want to be thrown high by enthusiastic everyone again, this honor should be Qin Feng's, he was the first to succeed just now!

The bombardment six was in front, and the two Jian-eight were in the back, and they returned in formation.

"085 Report, Hydraulic System Failure." Just as he was returning home, Qin Feng suddenly heard such a voice from the earphones.

Suddenly, Qin Feng felt his heart tingle namelessly, this plane was the one he had planned to fly today, Lao Yang and Lao Tang were on it!
