[39] Hands-on training for 100 people
In the era of air-gun combat, there was always a contest between vertical maneuvering and horizontal sharp turns, and the maneuverability greatly outnumbered the opponent, basically pronouncing the opponent's defeat. In the repeated struggle between the two sides, the side with strong maneuverability will eventually shoot down the enemy plane, but if it is said that it is a beautiful fight, it is all a tactic of diving and attacking, quickly pulling up, and diving again. The J-5 is a fighter born for this purpose.
Some people say that the Zero fighter maneuverability is not very superior? It's not that Zuihou was shot down in large numbers by the US military? The reason for this is not really said, but as soon as it is said, everyone will understand.
The Zero, which was touted by the Japanese as an all-purpose fighter, did take advantage of its high maneuverability with a small turning radius at the beginning of World War II, and could flexibly turn somersaults and attack with a back-to-back approach, slaughtering a large number of American fighters. But the turning point soon came, the U.S. military captured a complete Zero that had been forced to land in the swamp, and felt like a treasure at that time, and quickly washed it and dragged it home. After careful structural analysis and research, and 24 test flights, I realized why this Wang Ba cover is so crumbling!
It turns out that the high maneuverability of the Zero is based on low speed, when the speed reaches or exceeds 371 kilometers per hour, the Zero becomes very clumsy, the operation is extremely difficult, the control of the roll control is very difficult, even pulling the joystick has become a very physical work, the test pilot has to use all the strength to barely control it, you will even wonder if you will use too much force and pull the joystick out and pull it out! In addition, it is much easier for the Zero machine to roll and turn to the left than Xiangyou.
The most lethal thing is that when the Zero is in negative acceleration conditions, that is, in deceleration, the engine is particularly prone to oil return and stalling, which is the biggest disadvantage of the floating carburetor it uses.
The U.S. military suddenly realized that the Zero had been luring U.S. fighter jets over for low-speed combat! Immediately afterwards, he summed up the combat tactics of air combat against the weakness of the Zero fighter's performance: "In air combat, as long as you make a power dive in the vertical direction and turn on the afterburner, you can quickly get rid of the attack, and the Zero will often stop suddenly at this time (start to cheat). The plane can also be at a speed of 370 km/h, suddenly turn and roll, and the Zero cannot catch up at all.
As soon as this tactic is promoted, the good days of Zero will come to an end. Countless Allied fighters easily threw the Zero out of the pursuit of the two miles with a right roll, and a large number of Zeros became gliders when chasing the opponent's afterburner and dive fighters......
J-5 is not so delicate, you know what Maozi designed...... The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and it is durable and tight. But there are pros and cons to everything, this powerful warhawk has a characteristic of "eating soft but not hard", and the operation of too much force will cause the body to be unstable and easy to enter the spiral. In air combat, there are often pilots who chase the enemy regardless of the lever, and also push the rudder to slide sideways and turn sharply, then it is over, and it must go into the spiral.
In fact, the J-5 has improved a lot in operation, and the MiG-15 during the Korean War was the real spiral prince, and seventy percent of the MiG-15 crashes in the Korean War were not because of air battles, but because of spirals. The MiG-17 was improved on the basis of the MiG-15, which greatly improved the handling, which also contributed to the glory of the later J-5.
This spiral is not the patent of the J-5, all jet planes on Shijie have this habit, until today, there are many accidents caused by the air forces of Shijie countries every year, whether it is "Typhoon" or F-16, and F-22 can not be avoided, as long as you dare to do intense air combat training similar to actual combat, the spiral will keep up with you like a big aunt. After entering the spiral, it is difficult to change out if it is not operated properly, which eventually leads to faster and faster spirals, slower and slower speeds, until it becomes a gyroscopic crash after stalling.
Therefore, the change of the spiral state is a compulsory course for experienced fighter pilots, and the most fearful thing for pilots in training is to do the training of spiral change, for fear that they will not be able to change it if they fall into this terrible self-axis movement.
Fortunately, the 491 project has clearly reprinted the air force textbooks imported by Xiaoqiang, and our army has emphasized the softness of operation in the simple equipment training on the ground, burying small nails in the simulated joystick, wrapping them in newspapers, and in training, we should pay attention to one rod in place, and we must not use too much force, otherwise, the nails will prick our hands...... Turtles always have the ability to solve new problems with native methods.
Wang Hai's test flight went very smoothly, and the plane was in good condition, and I have to say that the logistics and maintenance work of our Rabbit Communist Party has always been serious, so that the mothballed aircraft is still in very good condition. After the plane landed smoothly, everyone's hearts that were hanging due to excitement and nervousness finally relaxed, and everyone rushed up to say hello to Wang Hai. Wang Hai opened the hatch and the first thing he said after getting off the plane was, "With such a haode plane, from now on, no one will want to violate China's airspace." ”
According to the arrangement, Wang Hai will briefly talk about his test flight experience, and then there will be two other pilots to test fly the J-5, after mastering the J-5 flight jishu, the three of them will pilot the ship to teach the five, and train more pilots to fly the J-5. The Air Force's flight base is operating rapidly for this goal, and everyone has only one goal, that is, to complete the initial training of 100 jet fighter pilots by the end of 1949.
Jet fighters don't burn gasoline, not even aviation gasoline, this guy eats aviation kerosene. Historically, until 1960, aviation kerosene was imported from the Soviet Union, and in 1961, China really produced aviation kerosene for the first time in an industrialized way.
Therefore, everyone especially cherished the aviation kerosene bought with foreign exchange, cherished every second of the time on the plane, and simulated the tactical actions to be done and the problems that might occur countless times on the ground.
At this moment, Shen Yang, the aircraft overhaul plant is under rapid construction, workers work overtime day and night under the guidance of engineers to build plant installation equipment, according to the assumption, the construction of the plant will be carried out synchronously with the installation of equipment, further shorten the construction period of the overhaul plant. In order to support the emergency construction of the overhaul plant, the city leaders decided that Shenyang City stopped the machinery factory project that was originally under construction and put all the materials into the project of the jet fighter overhaul plant.
Xiaoqiang's last 3 million tons of petrochemical refinery equipment imported from 300 million yuan has also arrived in Harbin Erbin, and under the strict protection of the troops, the Jishu personnel from all over the country began to urgently install and construct in accordance with the fine drawings provided by the 491 Project Headquarters. Once the installation and commissioning is completed, the ordinary gasoline and diesel fuel in New China no longer need to be imported, and these equipment are at the level of seventy or eighty years, but for Shijie at this moment, it is highly leading.
The fastest progress is oil exploitation, and the two sets of oil production equipment purchased by Xiaoqiang at a price of 8 million per set have been shipped to Shandong Province, and the location of the Shengli oil field, which was discovered and built in 1961, is showing its miraculous powers. The degree of automation of the oil exploitation vehicle from 2010 is too high, the vertical well - oil production one-stop, coupled with a large number of manpower assistance, the oil well drilling platform has been initially erected, according to the coordinates on the resource map provided by Xiaoqiang for drilling and oil production, the location is correct, the depth of the oil layer has been mastered, there is no suspense about the oil production, the workers, technicians, engineers, officers and soldiers who were drawn from the Yumen Oilfield to participate in the battle do not sleep, just watch the depth of the highly automated turnaround go down little by little, They want to see first-hand the birth of a productive oil well.
According to Xiaoqiang's prompts and the deployment of the central government, the location of these two oil wells is a high-yield well with a daily output of more than 500 tons and stable oil production. The reason why I didn't dare to choose the famous super self-blowout wells with a daily output of 3,600 tons and 100 tons of natural gas in Shengli Oilfield was indeed because I was afraid that Jishu's capacity would be limited, and there would be danger and waste in exploitation. The establishment of these two oil wells can provide 400,000 tons of crude oil for the country every year, and it must be known that in 1949, the country only produced 436,000 tons of crude oil in the whole year.
"Lao Wu, do you think there is really oil here?" A worker from the Yumen Oilfield asked a colleague around him.
"Of course, the regimental commander of the unit said that according to calculations, this well can produce 500 tons a day!"
"No kidding, right? Is there a sure oil from the first well, or is it an industrial oil flow of 500 tons? The old worker was a little skeptical.
"Isn't this already drilling, whether you have hit it to know." Lao Wu replied categorically.
