As the plane roared into the blue sky, Chen Zeyu's mood was also much more relaxed, his right hand held the longitudinal rod steadily, and with the roar of the engine, the flight altitude instrument in the cabin began to fly non-stop.

After the pointer reached 2000, Chen Zeyu began to pull the longitudinal rod to the left!

Although it was the first time to fly an airplane, Chen Zeyu's courage was obviously not something that the political axes and the personnel of the research institute present could predict.

As he moved, the LG1897-J began to roll high in the air......

Above the blue sky and white clouds, Chen Zeyu drove the plane and shuttled straight up, and the spiral flight trajectory made everyone in the research institute below the runway stunned.

At the same time in the vast sky, Chen Zeyu was also enjoying the fun of his first flight, with his indulgence, the LG1897-J aircraft sometimes half-somersault flip, sometimes large elevation angle rolling, sometimes roaring up, sometimes whistling and diving, even the instructor in the back seat of the plane also felt a little unbearable such a violent flight attitude.

"Führer! The speed is almost there! ”

Hearing the sound from the walkie-talkie in the rear, Chen Zeyu glanced at the speed meter slightly, and the pointer had already reached the 390 red line of the second bar.

"Ming-white!"

In response, Chen Zeyu loosened the throttle slightly, and the plane became lighter and nimble, and at the same time, it also reduced its speed to the normal cruising speed of 315.

LG1897-J equipped with high-horsepower diesel engine, although it can ensure that the aircraft speed easily breaks through 370 km / h, but the maximum speed of 390 km / h flight is still limited, long-term afterburner flight will undoubtedly bring inevitable wear and tear to the engine life of the aircraft, the instructor obviously does not dare to take the aircraft piloted by Chen Zeyu to bet on the stability of the 96XB series engine.

Compared with modern jet aircraft, early propeller planes were able to make many maneuvers that were beyond the reach of the former, in addition to not being able to catch up with the thrust. For example, modern fighters are most afraid of encountering high-speed tailspin, which is almost difficult to meet on the propeller aircraft, compared to the former, the anti-stall ability of the single-engine propeller aircraft at this time is still very strong, as long as the motor propeller has not been damaged, and the height is enough when encountering problems, under normal circumstances, the pilot can change from the tailspin very freely. Some well-designed small propeller aircraft are even capable of maneuvers that modern helicopters can do, such as tail dash and vertical hover.

After a little "indulgence", Chen Zeyu's self-discipline began to play a role gradually, and the LG1897-J aircraft began to slowly converge on its original flying surname.

After the aircraft dropped to a cruising speed of 315 km/h, the roar of the diesel engine slowly softened a little.

At this time, the flight altitude gauge pointer on the plane has already exceeded the value of 5000, and from the high altitude, all the scenery below the plane seems to have become smaller, the light yellow earth, the green fields, like a model, and at the same time become seem to be within reach.

Sitting in the cockpit of the plane with a unique perspective, Chen Zeyu's mind seemed to become soothed, and the rhythm of his body began to gradually merge with the aircraft, like an eagle falcon flying freely in the sky.

With a light breath in his chest, Chen Zeyu slowed down his breath and decided to end his first flight with a bird predator.

Under his audacity, LG1897-J suddenly changed to a downward dive after maintaining level flight for a while!

Thanks to Chen Zeyu's "pointing" of a modern person, LG1897-J took into account the requirements of dive bombing at the beginning of its design, and the strength of the airframe was also adjusted accordingly.

As the free dive began, Chen Zeyu's plane became faster and faster, passing through the clouds, and the plane that was constantly reducing its altitude seemed to be doing some kind of attack maneuver.

On the side of the runway of the research institute, everyone waiting also stared at the plane in the air at the same time.

The movement of the plane in the air is still speeding up, just when everyone on the ground is worried that the plane will hit the ground, this LG1897-J suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane when it was about to approach the horizon, and climbed at a large angle again!

The crowd that saw LG1897-J's flight attitude was stunned again, the plane that had just crossed the vertical state was actually flying upside down!

Just when everyone in the institute was still dumbfounded, the plane in the air rolled sideways again, and under Chen Zeyu's stewardship, LG1897-J, which had resumed level flight, finally slowly landed on the scheduled return runway......

After Chen Zeyu showed the image of a calm and talented genius pilot, the young Führer, who had just taken off his flight helmet, fell into the "siege and complaining" of the entourage and the research institute on the side of the runway.

Chen Zeyu didn't know, because of his last "eagle strike in the sky" today, a classic air combat action in the history of world aviation was born in advance!

This set of "Eagle Strikes in the Sky", which was first discovered and named by the "Seris Pilots", can not only get rid of the enemy planes chasing after the tail while maneuvering vertically, but also be able to regain the height of the dominant surname, and counterattack the enemy's tail after copying it.

As the saying goes, happiness gives rise to sorrow, and Chen Zeyu really paid the "price" for his "young frivolity".

After receiving the news, Secretary of State Liang Cheng and officials of various ministries in the cabinet immediately called Chen Zeyu, a leader who "did not cherish life," and at the same time "taught a lesson" to Chen Zeyu, a leader who "did not cherish his life," he also issued another order to the Aviation Research Institute -- "In the future, the Führer must not be allowed to board a fighter plane again!" ”

Not to mention how much this order had a restraining effect on the young Führer, at least the instructor who was on the same plane with him was severely punished by the unit because of this, and if it weren't for Chen Zeyu's repeated personal pleas, the young pilot named Lei Ze would have even been expelled from the flight team by the Aviation Research Institute. While Chen Zeyu felt sorry in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh again at the weight of his weight in everyone's hearts.

It is the destiny of the nation-state! I don't know when Chen Zeyu's life no longer belongs to him alone, and in the eyes of people from all walks of life across the country, the fate of this young head of state has been equated with the future of the entire nation.

Through the baptism of this incident, Chen Zeyu was deeply touched and felt more and more heavy on his shoulders, and the young head of state began to devote more energy to the implementation of his inner plans.

After inspecting the National Aviation Equipment Test and Research Institute on 5 March, Chen Zeyu visited various aircraft manufacturing enterprises in the entire Jinan Aviation Industry Base again in the following week.

In addition to giant enterprises such as Avalanche Aviation Industry Group, which was wholly owned by Chen Capital in the early days, there are now more than 12 medium-sized aircraft manufacturing companies with more than 200 employees in this high-tech aviation industrial zone in the entire Jinan Western New Area, and there are even more countless other smaller aircraft manufacturers. It can be said that due to the persistence of Chen Zeyu, the supreme leader, from beginning to end, the Republic's aircraft R&D and manufacturing industry has been at the world's leading level from the very beginning.

After several years of rapid development, all kinds of land and water aircraft, balloons, and airships manufactured by these aviation enterprises have long been all over the sky in the north and south of the entire Serris River. Of course, except for a few airlines with relatively strong R&D strength, most of the smaller enterprises can only carve up the lower-level goals in the domestic aviation market and manufacture small-thrust wooden biplanes such as AG1896-V3 and YC1896-Z for agricultural spraying, postal transportation, and scenic spots.

As of the beginning of 1898, Jinan's Avalanche Airlines had developed more than 7 types of aircraft for the Republican side, including LG1897-J and FT1897-F, which were stable and excellent aircraft products.

Compared with the early bulky biplanes, monoplanes are superior in both flexibility and flight stability, except for a slight lack of lift efficiency. Thanks to the unexpected breakthrough made by the Republic in the field of diesel engines, the surnames of various types of monoplanes, which used to have insufficient lift due to too little engine power, have gradually matured.

In addition to the LG1897-J and FT1897-F, which can be single-handed monoplane light fighters, several aviation companies have also successively developed and manufactured multiple types of monoplane propeller engine aircraft for different purposes, among which the most representative surnames are FR1897-B, RK1897-E, and RK1898-F......
