Chapter 416: A Cobra
Compared with the previous MiG-25, the cockpit of the MiG-31 is shrunk in a small space and has a rather poor field of vision, and the current Su-27 is already on par with the West, with a bubble-shaped cockpit canopy and raised seats, as if riding on a fighter plane. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Andrei took a deep breath, and from the circular dome in front of him, he could see those computer-generated scenes, and just by looking at this, he knew how remarkable the electronic technological progress of the Soviets was.
This kind of computer-synthesized image, of course, requires a powerful computer to be able to depict the image vividly, the simulator of this era in the West, showing a pattern is still a strip of patterns, that is, because of the lack of computer processing power, and now, this display of their own side, has been able to detail the grass leaves on the grass in the distance, fluttering with the wind, just like the image of computer games in later generations.
The position of the buttons is basically the same as that of later generations, Andrei opened the electric door, and gradually started the two AL-31 engines in the tail, with a low roar, at this moment, it really seemed to be sitting in the cockpit.
Seeing that the instrument display in front of him was normal, Andre turned on the afterburner, and the hydraulic device on the seat back began to squeeze, providing the pilot with a simulation of the feeling of pushing back, and the scene in front of him was rapidly retreating, and at the same time, the operating lever was trembling slightly as the fighter plane taxied.
Take off, take off! Andrei didn't look down at the gauge, just looked at the composite image on the dome in front of him, and he was able to estimate his speed, he gently pulled the lever back, and saw that the horizon was rapidly receding, and the plane had been pulled up!
At the same time, the entire simulator began to lean back, and the three-axis movable simulator could simulate the attitude of the fighter to the greatest extent.
Andrei didn't know that his own take-off operation stunned the people watching below, including Sukhoi's chief test pilot Valamir Ilyushin, seeing Andrei's chic movements, they couldn't help but admire, you know, the characteristics of this aircraft are completely different from MiG-25 and other aircraft, the wing-body fusion, and the design of relaxing static stability make this aircraft very flexible, not just anyone can control it.
And now, Andrei's take-off is quite standard, and they don't know, next, Andrei on the simulator, made one big overload action after another.
After taking off at a high angle of attack, he quickly climbed, and when he simulated flying to the airspace of five thousand meters, Andrei began to fly skillfully, rolling, climbing, turning sideways, and the computer showed that many times, Andrei pulled the overload to 9 g! How did he do it? In the case of unfamiliar with an airplane, the first flight, can it be so just right?
It's a flying genius! Three years ago, when Andrey cut the wings of the EP-25 in the air with the vertical tail of the MiG-3, he showed his strong flying ability, he was simply born to fly! Otherwise, how can you fly so well without flying once, or even without even knowing the various performance parameters of this aircraft?
"Oh no!" Just when I was extremely impressed with Andrei, I saw that Andrei's movements were more radical, anyway, it was also a simulator, so there was no need to worry about the danger to his life, Andrei actually turned off the restriction of the telex system, and the angle of attack of the plane continued to increase!
30 degrees, 40 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees! The simulator's computer system has already begun to sound the alarm, and no matter how big the angle of attack is, it means that it is going to stall!
General Andrei: What is this for? Could it be that you are dizzy inside? Or did you look at the wrong meter? Or is the meter itself showing an error? Everyone was staring at the display screen of the simulator, watching Andrei pull the angle of attack of the fighter all the way through ninety degrees!
The tail of the aircraft is forward, the nose is backward, and after a few seconds of continuous flight, it is automatically leveled!
It's like a cobra that will attack at any time!
Because the control of the Su-27 is a fly-by-wire system, the computer will prohibit the fighter from making excessively large elevation angles, and only by turning off the fly-by-wire restriction can it make all kinds of super-maneuverable actions.
Andrei also admired this simulator very much, originally, he thought that after pulling the angle of attack too wide, this simulator would show a crash, it seems that Sukhoi's electronics engineers did a pretty good job, completely simulating the aerodynamic characteristics of the T-10S, and after releasing the lever, the plane will automatically flatten!
When he came out of the cockpit, Andre was greeted by countless pairs of surprised looks.
"General Andrey, you flew amazingly!" Simonov said: "If you are not the commander of the military district, I would really like to invite you to Sukhoi as a test pilot!" ”
The first time I flew a new type of aircraft, even if it was an ordinary take-off and landing, I had to practice it many times, and General Andrei's first flight, the take-off and landing was called a smooth ride, especially when landing, there was no trace of mud and water, and the sliding arc was extremely beautiful, as if it had flown hundreds of sorties on the T-10S!
"General Andrey, the elevation angle you just pulled is more than ninety degrees, that action is really amazing." Test pilot Grischen said.
"It's a simulator, so I played with it." Andrei said: "However, if the modeling of this simulator is accurate enough, our real fighter may also have such a stall ability, and the aerodynamic performance of the fuselage is excellent, if you find that the elevation angle is large, or even after stalling, release the operating stick, and the fly-by-wire system will automatically return to level flight." ”
In later generations, the cobra maneuver was discovered from several accidents, and now, Andrei just had a good time on the simulator, and gave the other party a reminder, specifically to study this flashy action, which was later shaped for the amazing performance at the air show.
In later generations, countless military fans talked about this action, in fact, the most important thing in the fight of fighters is energy! This so-called super cobra action, even if it can rely on the sudden pull up caused by a sharp drop in speed, so that the rear tail chasing fighter rush to their front, it is useless, because this causes the energy of the fighter to drop suddenly, and the energy is lost, the fighter is a live target, even if the afterburner of the third aunt is turned on again, the speed will have to take dozens of seconds to recover! And during this time, enough fighters in front will turn around and come back to find trouble! Without enough speed, the fighter will not have the ability to fight!
At least if Andrei were to fly this kind of fighter in air combat, he would never do such a lethal action in air combat. (To be continued.) )
