Chapter 227: This is definitely a very good carrier-based aircraft!
Cheng Gong said as he walked out of the assembly workshop and came to the special runway for testing flights.
At this time, the test pilot named Zhao Husheng was speeding up on the apron runway, repeatedly debugging the folding wings, nose wheel landing gear, engine afterburner acceleration and other inspection links.
After confirming that there were no problems, Zhao Husheng piloted the Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft and slowly taxied into a steel deck test flight platform built in a one-to-one ratio with the flight deck of the Midway-class aircraft carrier in the distance.
This flight test platform has a complete blocking hydraulic system, and even a one-to-one scale ship island has been built out of wood. However, there is no ejection device.
Could it be that this Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft can take off from an aircraft carrier without catapulting?!
Cheng Gong is a little out of brains. If it can really take off in a short glide, this Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft developed by Tianfei is simply too powerful.
Through the telescope, Cheng Gong watched from afar as the test pilot slowly taxied the Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft to the take-off point 95 meters away from the deck glide angle, and felt an inexplicable nervousness for no reason.
Cheng Gong's five fingers of his hands holding the telescope were clenched from time to time, and they stretched and relaxed from time to time.
In the various prompts that resembled those broadcast from the command tower of the ship island, the tail end of the Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft at the take-off point spewed out blue flames.
"What is the performance of this turbojet engine produced by Tiangong Industrial Group?" Cheng Gong took a deep breath and stared intently at the flame at the tail end of the turbojet of the Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft, and asked Lu Haipeng beside him.
"Back to the emperor, this THH-WP-1938A turbojet engine produced by Tiangong Group has excellent performance!" Wang Yupeng replied on the side: "The maximum thrust is 3977dan, the middle thrust is 3242dan, the thrust-to-weight ratio is 5.47, the afterburner fuel consumption rate is 1.32, the intermediate fuel consumption rate is 0.95, the air flow is 46.2, the total boost ratio is 7.64, and the inlet temperature is 1020 degrees Celsius."
Tiangong Group has developed a dune vortex theory, the combustion chamber is designed as a dune standing vortex, the ignition of the afterburner is also designed as a flame through the turbine gravity, the blades are made of single crystal alloy and hollow air cooling process, and the adjustable time port guide blades are installed. The titanium casing and compressor blades allow for a significant increase in speed and compression ratio. And they also changed the original mechanical control to electronic control. From zero to afterburner, it only takes nine seconds! ”
After listening to Wang Yupeng's introduction, Cheng Gong suddenly understood. The axial turbojet engine produced by Tiangong Group has absolutely the performance of the carrying! Such an excellent jet engine must make aviation power experts in Europe and the United States take axial turbojet design as the mainstream turbojet design idea.
At this time, the Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft on the flight simulation deck had already loosened its braking system, and the fighter plane was like a sharp arrow off the string, rushing out of 30 meters and accelerating abruptly.
50 meters, 70 meters, 90 meters, followed by the nose raised, the fighter plane took off from the ground, continued to climb diagonally, straight into the clouds.
There was no cheering from anyone around the test flight deck platform, apparently, it was not the first time that they had successfully taken off from such a test flight.
Cheng Gong felt his heart suddenly contract even tighter. This is because it is a difficult hurdle for carrier-based aircraft to take off and leave the ship, and landing on a ship is a dangerous hurdle full of danger comparable to a ghost gate.
At this moment, Cheng Gong felt like a second like a year. I don't know how long it was, but the Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft in the sky ahead flew back, and rushed down to the landing strip on the left side of the flight deck installed on the runway.
The staff responsible for operating the hydraulic transmission system of the cable are responsible for performing their duties in an orderly manner.
The carrier-based aircraft landed safely at the demarcated landing point on the deck, and the braking systems of the front and rear wheels suddenly let out a "squeak" brake scream.
The first blocking rope is hung up! Release again.
Then the second one hung up again! Then release.
The Qiang-5 carrier-based plane taxied at a rapid speed of about 15 meters and came to a steady stop on the edge of the island, which resembled a ship.
"It worked! It really worked! And it looks so easy! Cheng Gong's hands were clenched into fists, and his mouth kept muttering to himself.
"This strong five has passed. It's 45 meters from the aft deck, which is the best safe place to land! ”
"Hehe, Zhao Husheng's skills are becoming more and more exquisite. 165 meters landing, which is 175 meters less than the design 10 meters! ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, ......whoa,
"165 meters! That's great! Cheng Gong also clapped his palms vigorously and praised repeatedly: "It's amazing, this pilot's landing skills are really good!"
The applause and cheers at the scene did not make test pilot Zhao Husheng beaming. He did not get off the plane, but asked the ground crew to check the state of the plane and fly again.
This is the process that must be followed in the acceptance process of each carrier-based aircraft, and it must be three ups and three downs.
Half an hour later, Zhao Husheng successfully took off again on this simulated aircraft carrier deck platform and landed safely. This time the downhill distance was more than seven meters longer than the previous one.
After resting for a while, Zhao Husheng began his third take-off and landing.
This time, the safety downhill distance is only 160 meters! flew out the best effect that test pilot Zhao Husheng idealized.
This achievement made Cheng Gong sincerely feel admired and gratified. Although there is still a big difference between the flat ground simulation and the real sea trial, from Cheng Gong's vision, it is natural to judge that there is no problem with this Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft. Moreover, Lu Haipeng also made it clear that their factory and Tianpan Group have already conducted sea trials and sea training tests. Otherwise, it would be impossible to finalize and mass-produce the Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft.
His Majesty the Emperor is so happy that he naturally has to give a reward. Cheng Gong asked Lu Haipeng to invite Zhao Husheng over on the spot, and awarded Zhao Husheng as a special pilot of the Royal Donghua Air Force in public! Enjoy the lordly treatment. At the same time, it was awarded the honorary title of five-star gold medal enterprise of Paradise Island Aircraft Factory.
Don't underestimate the star honorary title set by Cheng Gong for local enterprises in Donghua, with five stars being the highest level, and you can apply for a 150 million Asian dollars mortgage-free low-interest loan from the World Bank with this brand. A one-star company is 10 million Asian dollars, a two-star company is 20 million Asian dollars, a three-star company is 40 million Asian dollars, and a four-star company is 80 million Asian dollars.
After the official announcement of the establishment of the Donghua Empire, the Asian dollar has become stronger and stronger in the international currency market, as if it has replaced the British pound as the world's largest international currency settlement unit, and its ranking has surpassed that of the US dollar.
150 million Asian dollars low-interest free mortgage loan, this fund even Morgan, Rockefeller, DuPont and other old consortium family enterprises will be hot.
Personally inspecting the production of the Midway-class aircraft carrier and the Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft, Cheng Gong was in a good mood. In one breath, five lords and knights were sealed: Ning Haiyang, chairman of Tianpan Shipbuilding Group, chief engineer German Hornbach, and deputy chief engineer Xin Yixin; Lu Haipeng, director of Paradise Island Aircraft Factory, and Wang Yupeng, chief engineer.
In addition to being happy, Cheng Gong sent a message to Hitler and Hirohito, asking them to send people over quickly, otherwise there would be no shop in this village.
Hitler and Hirohito immediately replied with a message, saying that the team of ship design and construction experts they had sent had already set off and would arrive on Paradise Island by a special plane before 10 o'clock this evening at the latest.
Cheng Gong was very irresponsible, and the contact information of Ning Haiyang and Lu Haipeng was sent to Hitler and Hirohito by way of a message. As for how they shared this contact information with the expert team who had already traveled, they didn't bother to care at all.
The Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft performed so well, Cheng Gong naturally had more confidence in the Qiang-5 land-based fighters, and he didn't even take the time to verify the production status of the Qiang-5 land-based fighter-attack aircraft, but just asked Lu Haipeng to sort out a detailed data and submit it, and then it flashed.
