Chapter 576: Beautiful Vortex
This opportunity was hard-won, and it was won by General Lin for himself!
When Qin Feng sat in the rear cabin of the F-16 two-seater, he still felt incredulous, and finally had the opportunity to experience the flight of the F-16.
That's right, it's just an experience, although the other party agreed to invite him to experience flying, but he will definitely not let go of his own test flight, so Qin Feng is just a passenger, and he can only sit in the back cabin.
If you want to say that it is the best to receive customers, it is still Dassault that they have flown a lot of sorties, but unfortunately, the other party's asking price is too high, and they do not transfer technology, and now, they also threaten to sell to the opposite treasure island, their approach is absolutely wrong.
Now, the doors of the Mirage 2000 are almost closed, and what about the F-16? Will the Air Force make up its mind to buy?
Qin Feng had a question mark in his heart, and now, he retracted these thoughts and began to look at the dashboard in front of him.
Since it is a coach type, the instruments of the front and rear cabins are almost exactly the same, the screens on the left and right sides are shining, and there is also a flat display on it, except that the field of view is not as good as the front cabin, there is almost no difference.
The captain of the air show team sat in front of him, making preparations before taking off, Qin Feng looked at the two screens, the expression in his eyes was still envious, for his own instrument cockpit, the advanced nature of this thing was beyond doubt.
Moreover, it can greatly reduce the burden on the pilot, now, the preparation of the fighter before take-off is almost all automated, all kinds of equipment began to self-test, appeared on the screen, and then, Qin Feng heard the roar of the engine from the tail, the APU started again, these several starts, did not use the ground power supply car, it used this most common operation, showing the enviable advancement.
Then, the roar of the turbine, the compressor of the F100 engine has begun to start, the compressor rotated for about thirty seconds, and began to inject fuel, in the sharp roar of the turbine behind, you can see the data on the display, the speed of the engine has steadily increased, and soon it has risen to 10,000 rpm, and the engine has started successfully!
Qin Feng's hand involuntarily wanted to grope for the operating lever in the middle, only to find that the operating lever was not in the middle, and then, both hands groped to both sides, and when he touched the operating levers on both sides, he had an impulse in his heart, and behind it was the roaring engine, and he could easily complete the take-off of the fighter.
He didn't skimp on his strength, he gently gave the lever strength, and he knew that it wouldn't change anything.
Because all control here is broken.
This plane is fly-by-wire, if it is mechanically operated, then it needs to be physically isolated, such as removing the universal joint of the operating lever below, etc., there has been such a lesson in the past, on the training plane, the trainees in the front cabin fainted, pressed the operating stick, and the instructor in the rear cabin wanted to control the aircraft, but the plane could not be controlled at all, because no matter how strong the hand was, it was not as strong as the whole body.
In the end, I had no choice but to skydive.
Now this kind of aircraft, there will be no such thing, fly-by-wire control, as long as it is set in the control system, in the future, this way will become more and more extensive, the hardware does not need to move, as long as the software is upgraded, the performance of the weapon can continue to improve.
Qin Feng was imagining what it would be like to operate the plane, and then he heard a call in the headset and was ready to take off!
This time, unlike the air show, there were no six planes taking off together, but two three-plane formations, and this two-seater plane is now a long plane.
Qin Feng couldn't help but turn his head and look back, although the planes on the left and right sides were behind the side, they could also see clearly, as for the planes at the rear, there was also a chance to see them, the cockpit of this kind of aircraft, the view was really good!
Then, there was a violent push back feeling on the back, the F100 engine in the tail has burst out with more than 10 tons of thrust, countless fuel injections into the engine, blazing hot, the entire fighter began to slide quickly on the runway, this feeling, absolutely for the first time!
Even if it is a Mirage 2000, there is no such feeling, because its engine is not powerful, Qin Feng then remembered that it was the first time he sat in a fighter with a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 1, of course, the J-6 is not counted, although the J-6 has good thrust, but the aerodynamic layout of the fuselage is still old.
The fighter plane quickly slid forward, and in a short distance, the scenery on both sides had already passed quickly, and then, the nose of the fighter plane was warped, and it left the runway lightly and plunged into the sky!
With the landing gear stowed away, it was also easy and sharp, and the plane turned into a fighting falcon in the sky.
Just when Qin Feng wanted to look at other fighters on both sides, he suddenly found a beautiful scene, on both sides of the wing of the fighter, to be exact, from the side strip wings on both sides of the nose, there were streams of white gas, this white gas was not a cigarette can, it was formed by itself, as if it was a small air mass, spreading backwards, flying over the wing roots, until the horizontal tail, then slowly disappeared.
Is this a vortex?
That's right, that's the vortex.
When the F-16 fighter was developed, it adopted the latest achievements in aeronautical engineering, using the edge bars on both sides to pull the vortex, and the eddy drawn out by the side strips happened to act on the wing behind, greatly improving the lift of the wing and improving its maneuverability.
Therefore, eddy currents, also known as vortex lift, are formed in front of the wing to provide more lift to the wing.
Of course, the vortex will not have a color, because the vortex is essentially the air flow, and the air flow is five-colored, but when the vortex is pulled out, there will be a change in air pressure, and if the humidity of the air is appropriate, the position of the vortex here, there will be water vapor condensation.
The performance was at noon, and there was not enough humidity at that time, but now, the temperature and humidity were just right, which made Qin Feng see such a peculiar scene, and also made him sigh, this kind of plane is really beautiful.
Second-generation aircraft, it is difficult to pull out this kind of scene, at most, when entering supersonic speed, when breaking through the sonic boom cloud, you can see that kind of umbrella-shaped white smoke, where is the vortex in front of you more elegant and moving?
Our future plane, too, the J-10 has no edge strips, it relies on the canard wings in front to pull the vortex, it can also be! Qin Feng sighed secretly in his heart.
The fighter plane was still climbing upwards rapidly, the vortex disappeared, Qin Feng looked outside, looking at the vast land, and in the distance, a long white dragon with twists and turns had already appeared.
That is the Great Wall, and before I knew it, I had flown from Nanyuan to Badaling.
