Chapter 572: Visiting the Cockpit

Now, use the F-16, an advanced fighter, to conquer the hearts of the Chinese Air Force, let them continue to throw themselves into the arms of the West, they will not refuse this fighter.

Just look at their expressions.

After all, what does China have now? J-6 is the largest number of equipment, J-7 is elite, J-8 is a killer feature, but, even if it is J-8, it is now a dove of peace, because there is no suitable avionics, now, the United States is giving them the avionics of modifying J-8, and only a few dozen of the number of modifications is obviously not enough to meet their thousands of military aircraft market, they will definitely purchase F-16 in large quantities!

Just when he thought of this, cheers came from the scene again, and in the sky, the formation of six fighters was carrying out a classic somersault action, neatly aligned, and it was facing the direction of the audience, which was even more rare.

One after another fighters are flying in the sky, Qin Feng's heart is also flying up, the maneuverability of this kind of fighter is quite rare, and at the same time, Qin Feng is also looking forward to the domestic fighter plane, which can reach the same level, and even, it must be stronger than the performance of this kind of aircraft!

At the airport, the other pilots were already watching, Lao Xiao stood next to Qin Feng, looking at the plane in the sky, silently distracted, these maneuvers, they can't do it, the domestic air show team, if there is also such a plane, how good it would be!

The air show lasted for half an hour, and when the planes descended from the sky along the graceful gliding line to the runway, everyone had not yet woken up from their intoxication.

"Look, it's landed, it's landed!"

"Can we go up and take a picture with the plane?"

Many people have this idea, but when they go in the direction of the tarmac, the ground crews of the Americans have already pulled up a cordon there.

"I'm sorry, but after the fighter lands, it needs to be maintained." Aldrich said.

Even if this fighter has performed a wonderful flight show, when the Chinese have not revealed their intention to buy, they cannot show too many details to the other side.

The opponent's fighter plane stopped in front of Qin Feng's Jianjiao 5 again, and watching those pilots come down, Qin Feng stepped forward to greet him again.

"Hey, you guys put on a great show!"

"Yes, our fighters are the best." said the captain of the performance team.

"Can I take a look at your cockpit?" Qin Feng asked.

Although he knew that it was rude, Qin Feng still asked, he really wanted to go up and experience it.

Even at the air show, many fighters are wrapped in tarpaulins with cockpit covers, because the degree of modernization of the cockpit directly reflects the performance of a fighter, which is still half-covered by a pipa.

Now, Qin Feng really wanted to go up and have a look, originally thought that the other party would not agree, who would have thought that the other party would wave his hand easily and point to the gangway in the cockpit: "Of course you can, Qin, you are welcome to go up and have a look." ”

The other party's performance captain all spoke, and the other ground crews were naturally not easy to stop, so Qin Feng ran over in great strides and climbed the gangway in a few clicks.

Bubble cockpit!

Before he sat down, Qin Feng began to observe the inside, there was no operating stick between his legs, which was the biggest difference from other fighters, what else was there besides? Of course, it's the cockpit display.

One draw, two clicks!

Different versions of the F-16 fighter have different cockpit instruments, which cannot be simply distinguished by A/B and C/D models, but according to the version at the time of production, they are distinguished by BLOCK plus numbers.

The earliest to BLOCk15, the cockpit is almost the same, there is a display in the lower left corner, the right and middle are densely packed with instruments, and from BLOCk25 to BLOCk52, the cockpit began to be a symmetrical display on the left and right, but from the 40 model onwards, it was upgraded to a color display, and then the later version, such as BLOCk60, began to be three heads-up displays.

The last time I went to Israel, Qin Feng and other engineers saw the cockpit of the Israeli Lion fighter, which is quite advanced, and has reached the standard of one level and three times, and even in addition to the test flight model, the official flight model will also remove the mechanical instruments and become a complete glass cockpit.

However, that is the standard in the future, and the fighters that have now entered service in the army have definitely not reached this level, for example, now, there are two downward-looking displays, arranged left and right, which is already very good.

Qin Feng couldn't wait to sit down, and the moment he sat in the cockpit, he couldn't help but sigh, this is just like riding a horse!

That's right, it gives him the feeling that he is riding on a fighter plane, the entire upper half of his body is exposed, the cockpit canopy is at the top, and it is not closed, and even if it is closed, he will not feel any difference, because this cockpit canopy is originally a whole piece of glass, without any partitions.

"How does it feel?" The captain asked Qin Feng.

"Yes, that's the cockpit of a real fighter pilot." Qin Feng said with a sigh to the captain.

The cockpit of the narrow J-7 and J-8, after entering, is like drilling into a tunnel, only one head is exposed, only the forward field of vision, and nothing can be seen at all, this kind of vision, the field of view of the upper hemisphere is 360 degrees, as long as the head can be twisted, you can see it.

The two sides are 260 degrees, and even if you look down, you have a 40-degree viewing angle.

There was no operating lever between the legs, the operating lever was on both sides, Qin Feng's hand groped for the operating lever, and then, gently stroked.

This kind of operating lever is not displaced, unlike the previous operating lever, which has to be pushed to have an operation, it is to feel the strength of the pilot's hand, if you contact it for the first time, you will definitely not get used to it, but as long as you get used to it, you will definitely love it.

The button layout of each lever is reasonable, and the hand does not leave the stick to operate, which is definitely not a joke, and in the test flight just now, their hands certainly never left the joystick.

Qin Feng sat on this plane and didn't want to get down at all, of course, the Americans would not give him a long time to experience, just less than a minute, the ground staff in charge of maintenance came over and urged: "Captain, we have to check the cockpit!" ”

Qin Feng came down very interestingly, and when he left the cockpit, he took one last look at the dashboard above, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, in the future, we will also have such fighters!

"It's a good feeling to come here, I heard that the most famous place here is the Great Wall, and I really want to fly around the Great Wall." The captain sighed, flew all the way, and looked at the ground below, he also liked it from the bottom of his heart.
