Chapter 80: Improving Tools
Flying is a noble cause, and every pilot, before taking off, will polish his leather shoes, scrape off a layer of mud on the soles of his shoes, clean them, and then go straight to the fighter plane in a ground support car. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although this is a kind of belief in his own career, a kind of firmness. But at the same time, it is also a must.
If the soles of your feet enter the cockpit with dirty things, then, after flying together, the cockpit begins to pressurize, and those dirty things, such as sand, hair, airport weeds, etc., all fly up, and when you fly overloaded, these things will hit your face and eyes at any time, and it will cause an accident!
Therefore, pilots must pay attention to personal hygiene, beard is not allowed, and must be shaved clean before takeoff!
Even so, the cockpit will not remain intact, and after a period of time, usually half a month, a thorough cleaning of the cockpit is required.
In later generations, Andre mainly tested the domestic J-11 fighter, using the imported K-36 ejection seat, I have to say, this ejection seat is indeed the most advanced, Huaxia's self-produced equipment J-10 HTY-5 ejection seat, the ejection envelope is much smaller than K-36, and the stability in the complex attitude is not as good as K-36.
What I remember most for Andre is that this kind of ejection seat needs a crane to be removed! Neither of them can lift it! The equipment of the Soviets was strong and durable.
And now, the technology is far less advanced than that of later generations, the ejection seat of the MiG-25 is still KM-1, the ejection seat equipped with the MiG-21, so that Andrei is very dissatisfied, many times, Andrei wants to save himself, fly the plane to make a forced landing, and is not willing to use this ejection seat, especially at high speed, it is definitely looking for death.
And this time to clean up the cockpit, the focus is to dismantle the seats!
The three MiG-25 fighters that had just arrived at the clean-up cycle had already stopped on the tarmac, and the maintenance competition officially began under the scene where the main leaders of the regiment were the referees and most of the crew members of the regiment were referees!
With a whistle, the three mechanics hurried to the fighter they were maintaining and began the race.
For convenience, the platform is prepared in advance, and you can start when you climb it, which is much faster than climbing the gangway.
With a screwdriver in hand, the first step is to remove the cockpit cover, and there are more than 100 screws densely packed around it, which must be removed before they can be removed.
Victor also climbed onto the stage, he watched others quickly twist the screws, and instead of hurrying, he took out an electric drill from the toolbox next to him.
Watching Viktor connect a drill bit to the top of the electric drill, and then, facing the position of the screw cap, it was the sound of the motor turning, and suddenly, Ivanov was in a hurry.
The game cannot be destroyed! Is this guy going to drill the screw? The position of the screw hole will also be injured? And at this moment, he had already seen that there was one more thing on the electric drill bit in Victor's hand, which was the removed screw cap!
In order to win this competition, Victor also worked hard, and within two days, he made this improved hand drill, and the drill bit in front turned into a screwdriver!
In this way, while others were still working hard to tighten the screws, Victor had easily removed more than a hundred screws in the buzz of the hand drill!
"Nope! This is a violation! Seeing that Victor had already begun to unload the cockpit canopy with professional tools, the other two old mechanics who had not yet removed a third of the cockpit screws couldn't help but shout.
If you want to say anything else, maybe your skills are not as good as that of this newcomer, Victor, but cleaning the cockpit is the basic skill of every mechanic.
Unexpectedly, I lost this first step! Victor actually uses power tools!
"In maintenance, we encourage the invention of new tools to simplify our operations!" Victor shouted below: "The game continues. ”
Electric taper changer! Later generations are very widely used, greatly saving effort and time, in this era, there is still no such tool, and this Victor, whose brain is really good, actually came up with such an idea! It seems that letting him be the captain of the maintenance team is definitely the best choice!
Mechanics also have to use their brains, not be rigid! Andrei couldn't help but think of the time in later generations, when the Su-27 was just introduced, the ground staff repaired it in accordance with the standards of the Sukhoi company, such as when detecting the radar of the nose, the radome must be unloaded on the ground after all the screws are screwed, which is nothing, it just takes a little more effort, but when it is installed, there will be problems, Su-27 fans know that the head of the Su-27 is tilted downward, the round nose and screw holes are uniform, and the wrong screw mouth can also be installed, but the cone is a few degrees off, Then the aerodynamic characteristics are completely changed.
Later, a mechanic invented a screw, and after fixing it, the radome could be repaired by simply lifting it up. When the Russians came to China and found out that such a solution was solved, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
If you want to be a qualified mechanic, you must learn to use your brain! Andrei thought about it while seeing that Victor had already removed the seat and stood on the platform and lifted the seat directly, this KM-1 ejection seat is really quite simple!
Victor then began to clean the seat little by little with a brush, and then jumped in to clean the seat underneath.
When Victor began to reinstall the seats, the other two mechanics had just removed the canopy! This can't be blamed on them, in the maintenance of the machine, this kind of trivial matter of removing screws, they are handed over to their subordinates to do, now, just dismantling these screws, is sweating profusely!
Forty minutes! It only took Victor forty minutes alone to complete a task that would take two people an hour! There was a round of applause on the tarmac!
In the morning race, Victor was the best, and in the afternoon race, Victor was far ahead, this time, it was pure physical work, dismantling the engine!
The engine life of the MiG-25 fighter is only one hundred and fifty hours, and it is more common for the maintenance to change the engine, according to the current frequency of sorties, an aircraft can fly at least 300 hours a year, that is, it has to change the engine twice!
This time, Victor pushed a shelf, which was welded last night using the waste materials of the base, with a pulley device, and in this way, relying on this device, Victor dismantled the engine alone, and the other mechanics were two or three people in a group to complete it.
"I announce that Victor is the new captain of the maintenance team!" In the face of Victor's outstanding performance, the old fritter Koridub said reluctantly.
