Chapter 170: Air Show
When the F4 Phantom Fighter appeared on the runway, the audience in the audience let out a whisper of each other, because compared to the previous aircraft, the appearance of the F4 Phantom Fighter is indeed different, and everyone is speculating about which company developed a new product.
"MacDonald, Lockheed, Boeing and North American Aviation have all presented their own products, could it be the masterpiece of Douglas Aircraft? But they have been studying transport aircraft and civil airliners, and they have never heard that they have plans to develop fighter jets. "Some businessmen who often deal with these aircraft companies have twisted a knot in their hearts, and they don't know anything about this aircraft, so they are a little curious about whose product this aircraft is.
The Phantom fighter on the runway, painted in a silver-gray democratic style, looks full of sci-fi, the F4 Phantom's sharp nose like a falcon makes the fuselage of the first generation of aircraft present look like a ridiculous cylinder with wings, and the streamlined fuselage with perfectly fitting swept wings makes this aircraft look more like an aerial falcon with steel and iron bones.
This time it was just an air show, so you can't carry conventional weapons. Albert also specially recruited an ace pilot from the Belgian Air Force as a performance pilot, and after a month of devilish training, this pilot quickly mastered the skills of controlling the F4 Phantom fighter, and was able to do all kinds of rolling, diving, rapid pulling and other difficult maneuvers with ease.
Pilot V? Nanso sat in the cockpit and took a deep breath as the youngest ace pilot in the Belgian Air Force. His face still looks a little immature, but that's why he's jealous. Genius always shows his edge prematurely, and the mediocrity around him cannot tolerate it. If it weren't for His Highness Albert who singled him out of the flying group. Maybe dimension? Nanso's retirement is just an ordinary pilot.
"This is the only chance to be favored by the crown prince, don't miss it." Dimension? Nanso said to himself, and when the ground crew waved a small flag to signal that he was ready to take off, he pressed the red start switch with his gloved hand.
The vortex of the engine began to rattle and the high-decibel shrill roar seemed to puncture the eardrums, and even the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of Albert shook slightly. Soon dimensional? Nanso's F4 Phantom jet pulls into the runway and accelerates along the long road.
All eyes in the audience were on the fighter jets. Their eyes moved as the plane moved, and some even couldn't help but stand up to see a little more clearly, triggering a wave of disgruntled complaints from those sitting in the back. I saw the F4 ghost fighter like an eagle soaring with wings, soaring into the air and flying into the light blue sky in the spotlight.
"Smooth liftoff." Dimension? Nanso's first good news to Albert was relieved that as the saying goes, it's hard to get started. Now that there is no longer much of a problem with take-off. Now it's time to watch the show and landing.
Dimension? Nan Su held the joystick and continued to pull up the altitude, and continued to increase the speed of the F4 fighter, and when it was about to approach the speed of sound, about to break through the sound barrier, a milky white cloud suddenly wrapped the F4 ghost fighter, and a thunderous explosion penetrated everyone's eardrums, making people have to cover their ears in pain, afraid that the eardrums would burst.
The layman is lively. Insiders watch the doorway, when the rest of the audience doesn't know what's going on. Some of the sharp-thinking arms dealers, aircraft manufacturers and Albert knew what had just happened, and one word sprung up in their minds at the same time, the sound barrier.
"My God, that plane actually broke the sound barrier and flew at supersonic speeds, tell me how he did it? As far as I know, the planes nowadays are basically flying at subsonic speeds, right? "India's representative Zubin? Singh marveled at the fact that he happened to witness the plane break the sound barrier, and as a former Air Force diplomat, he had the privilege of attending the air show with his friends at the Ministry of Defense.
Now the F4 Phantom has successfully whetted everyone's appetite, yes, this is a cross-era model, because so far there is no fighter capable of flying at supersonic speeds, and this may be the first aircraft to reach this level. Some well-informed arms dealers had already found out that the plane belonged to Tallest Heavy Weapons, especially when they knew that the designer was Messerschmidt, and they couldn't resist leaving the viewing platform to go to Tallest's Heavy Weapons booth to talk about business.
An inconspicuous figure in the crowd nodded frequently at the F4 ghost, the guy in civilian clothes looked like a military enthusiast attending an air show, and only those who knew his identity would understand how powerful this ordinary man who seemed to be in his thirties was so powerful.
The F4 Phantom fighter continued to pull up, and some people were a little worried about whether it would cause the plane to stall and fall, only Albert watched with confidence as the plane rose to an unattainable height. Sure enough, when the angle of attack of the fighter wing increases to a critical angle of attack, the airflow on the upper surface of the wing begins to separate, and the lift gradually decreases. The whole plane began to tremble, and when the plane climbed to a certain height, the dimension? Nan Soo found that the fighter controller's joystick had completely failed, and no amount of swinging could control the plane's movements.
At this time, the combat flight has reached a relatively safe altitude, and the left wing of the aircraft stalls before the right wing, so the aircraft rotates along the longitudinal axis of the aircraft in the direction of the wing of the side that stalls first, and falls to the ground in free fall. Dimension? Nan Su only felt like a kite with a broken string, desperately flying towards the ground. Dimension? Nanssoke quickly pushed the joystick putter all the way to the ground and pulled the lever in the opposite direction, kicking the rudder in the opposite direction of the spiral in an attempt to get rid of the tailspin. This is also the first time he has performed a stall in front of everyone, although this is not what His Highness Albert meant, but once the performance is successful, the excellent performance of the F4 Phantom fighter will be known to the world, so Wei? Nanso's success or failure is here.
Seeing the scene of the plane spinning and falling, Albert's heart was suddenly tightened. Nansuo's performance stall and flattening this kind of flight show with a huge risk coefficient is not sure that there will be a plane crash and death, and the reputation of the F4 ghost will be affected, not to mention, are you responsible for the safety of so many heavyweights present?
At this time, Lockheed and his party were gloating, especially McDonald who swept away the haze of the F2H-2 Banshee Fighter Fighter's performance mistake just now, because there was a more unlucky guy who would help him divert his attention. How many people do you want a plane that crashed to crash in front of everyone?
After Messerschmitt saw the plane stalling, he considered that His Highness Albert's reputation might become the target of public criticism later, so he whispered in Albert's ear, "Your Highness, I think it is better for us to leave here first, and I am afraid that we will not be able to leave if we are a little late." ”
"Wait." Albert made a gesture not to disturb him, looked intently at the plane falling from a high altitude, and said in a deep voice, "If you can't even level out the stall, what's the use of having such an all-weather high-speed interceptor?" ”
One thousand meters, nine hundred meters, eight hundred meters, in the cockpit? Nan Su could almost see the crowd on the ground the size of ants, and their figures were still enlarged in his eyes.
When he empirically sensed that the dive speed of the plane was greater than the stall speed, the dimension? Nan Su gradually pulled the rod back, and at this time the plane was already less than two hundred meters above the ground, and such an altitude was extremely dangerous for the pilot. Nan Su also felt that he was about to fail, and when he was about to receive the lunch, the plane suddenly got rid of the stall tailspin situation, and suddenly flew flat when it was only a hundred meters above the ground, and everyone saw a huge figure mixed with a sharp whistling above his head, as if a giant falcon eagle roared and flew by. The air currents that he hung up swept across the viewing platform, and everything was blown into a mess like a typhoon.
The people on the spectator stood up, and instead of scolding the pilot, they applauded the pilot's technique and the excellent performance of the aircraft, and the man who had stopped to watch the air show smiled when he saw the thrilling scene, and then walked to the booth of the Talest Heavy Weapons Company and drew a business card from their staff.
"Whew." Albert finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and almost sat down on the ground, scolding in his heart. Isn't this bastard Nanso, afraid that in a few years, the grave grass will grow taller than a person? No wonder the old guys at the Air Department didn't like this prick, and even Albert, who was known for his eclecticism, found it too difficult to deal with.
"How? All of you, are we still betting now? Albert turned around and looked at the pale Lockheed with a smile, the wonderful flight performance just now undoubtedly won the favor of all arms dealers, coupled with the performance of this fighter that is difficult for other companies to match, it will definitely become a dark horse for this air show.
"Hmph, does His Highness Albert really think that your plane will be favored by the U.S. Department of Defense?" Lockheed sneered and said, "Don't forget that the reason why you were able to get our technology in the first place was because of President Truman's relationship. And now that Truman is finished, do you think you can still be that lucky? ”
"I don't know if it can be favored by the Ministry of Defense." Albert smiled, "But I think your good days are almost over." (To be continued......)
