readx; The commissioning ceremony of the fourth aircraft carrier battle group was very simple, Su Dao simply made a congratulatory speech, and then Yang Shuming made a short lecture, followed by the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier battle group to speak, and then, there was no more. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Next, the fourth aircraft carrier battle group will be familiar with the harbor for a week, and after a week, it will try to start training at sea, anyway, in the inland sea, the whole process is within the protection range of land-based fighters, and there is no fear of encountering any danger.

After coming out of the pier, Su Dao drove to the Air Force No. 1 Airport, there are five airports on the entire island, one each in the east, west, north and south, and the middle is the No. 1 airport, and this time the test flight mission was also carried out here.

After several months of technical research, the first domestic fighter has finally completed the design and assembly, scheduled for the first flight test today, if there are no problems encountered today, then all the test flight tasks will be completed within a month, and a month later it will be officially delivered to the factory for production.

At this time, all the factories are on standby, and there is no spare production line or anything, it can be said that as long as the specific drawings are delivered, and then a few technicians are sent to guide, the factory can immediately enter the formal production.

From the point of view of the appearance, the fighter that flew today imitates the appearance of the Hellcat fighter to a large extent, but if you take a closer look, you feel that there is a big difference, first of all, this fighter looks bulky, and you can know that this guy's weight is definitely not light.

The engine of the new fighter is the British-made NapiersabreIII** (H24 cylinder) engine, power: 3055 horsepower (2230KW) / 3650rpm engine, but this is a reproduced engine, it can be said that under the guidance of Su Dao's inadvertent words, the research and development personnel have developed a new engine after comparing with the research and development of several engines.

The current surname of this engine is far inferior to the original engine, first of all, the biggest change is to change the 24-cylinder engine to 16 cylinders, and the power is naturally reduced a lot, from the original 3055 horsepower to 2480 horsepower.

Why reduce the power of the engine? It's very simple, because the current fighter simply can't withstand such a large amount of power, or it seems a bit wasteful to install this engine on a fighter jet, and it can't exert its power at all.

The main point is that this engine is a little too fuel-guzzling after being equipped, which is more than ten liters more fuel than other engines, and it also increases the weight of the fighter and reduces the range of the fighter.

If it is developed according to the original engine, then after being equipped with the fuselage, the range of the new fighter is still somewhat insufficient than that of the **F109, only a distance of about 500 kilometers.

And now, the weight of the engine has been reduced by 30 percent, the capacity of the fuel tank has been increased, and the fuel supply method has been increased, and it is said that the fuel tank is too large to be afraid of fighting, but this does not appear in this fighter body.

Because there is a layer of steel plate protection on the periphery of the fuel tank, and the steel plate of the fuselage has also been thickened, it is difficult for ordinary machine gun bullets to penetrate his protection, even if it is a 20 mm machine gun, it is also difficult to penetrate two layers of steel plates.

The unladen weight of this fighter is heavier than that of the Hellcat fighter, a full 4519kg, and the Hellcat is only 4190kg, the weight of the new fighter is mainly on the protection of the fighter, and the heavy armor occupies more than half of the weight.

As for the firepower, the new fighter has also been strengthened to a certain extent, with four 12.7 mm machine guns distributed on the wings on both sides, and two 20 mm cannons at the nose engine, each equipped with 100 shells.

The fuselage is also equipped with an external hook that can carry a 250kg bomb on its belly and a total of four 100kg bombs under the wings.

Therefore, based on a series of data, if this engine achieves the expected effect, the combat radius of this fighter should be more than 1,500 kilometers, which is farther than the Hellcat fighter equipped now, but this is only the expected effect. (The author doesn't know much about fighters, and these data are also made up by myself, so don't mind, it's mainly the plot needs.) ）

Of course, if the desired effect is achieved, then the next few test flights will challenge the limits of this fighter, because if you only look at the data, the fuel tank capacity plus the weight of the fighter, coupled with the fuel consumption of the engine, the range of this fighter should be about 4,000 kilometers, and if it flies according to the cruising speed, the radius should reach about 2,000 kilometers.

This is only a theoretical distance, in fact, it is impossible to fly according to the cruising speed when flying, plus the ammunition carried or something, the weight will increase a lot, and when it comes to combat, the combat radius can be 16700 kilometers, which is considered very good.

"Well, it looks domineering, but I don't know how it works."

Su Dao looked around the fighter plane, holding the theoretical data of the fighter in his hand and looking back and forth, how did he look like an enlarged version of the hellcat.

"I'm also struggling with it now, so I'll have to wait until the test flight is over to see the results."

Feng Carmen took Qian Xuesen to stand behind Su Dao, and now he has come to Huaxia, Feng Carmen also learned to speak Chinese with these people, after all, the people under his hands are all Chinese, and it is more troublesome to translate back and forth.

Besides, you can learn it in life, and you don't have to spend too much time on it, so in the past two years, Feng Kármán's Chinese level can be said to be quite good, although it is not as good as the real Chinese, but it is also very good compared to foreigners.

"Hehe, the first fighter, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or fails, the most important thing is that you scientific researchers have gained valuable experience from this research and development process, and you can be more handy when developing the next fighter, and develop a fighter that is suitable for the troops and is deeply loved by officers and soldiers."

Su Dao smiled, he used to always look forward to the appearance of domestic fighters as soon as possible, but now that it has really appeared, when it came to the test flight, Su Dao was not so nervous.

Although the technology of other countries is also developing, it is still impossible to catch up with Su Dao in a short period of time, but once they surpass Su Dao, then it will be difficult for Su Dao to catch up with them in the future.

So this time, what Su Dao cares about is not the success or failure of the fighter, but how much these scientific researchers have learned from this research and development process, as long as the experience is still there, they can study more advanced fighters at any time.

"What's your name!"

Su Dao glanced at the test pilot standing next to the fighter plane, and originally wanted to pretend to ask the young man, what is your name, but after thinking about it, his age may not be as old as anyone else, and he felt a little too pretended to be forced as soon as he said this, so he still withdrew the three words of the young man in front of him.

"Report to Your Majesty, Zhu Dazhang, Air Force Major, Commander of the First Regiment and First Battalion of the Third Air Division, and Chief Test Pilot."

When Zhu Dazhang heard Su Dao ask his name, he hurriedly shouted out loudly, and even shouted out with his position.

"Air Force battalion commander? Well, it's an experienced old pilot, and I'm very reassuring to you, but you have to reassure me. ”

Su Dao nodded thoughtfully and said, Zhu Dazhang was stunned for a moment, mistakenly thinking that Su Dao attached great importance to this test flight, for fear that it would fail or something, so he hurriedly said:

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

"......" It was Su Dao's turn to be speechless this time, but recalling his previous words, it seemed that it was normal to misunderstand the meaning, Su Dao hurriedly changed his words:

"If you want me to rest assured, you don't just have to complete the mission, to be honest, I don't have much hope that the first flight of the fighter will be successful, as long as the people are okay. You're a veteran pilot, and you should know what to do in case of an emergency.

So I ask you, once you encounter a problem that cannot be handled, you must immediately choose to parachute, but in order to let the R & D personnel smoothly find the problem of the fighter, so after you take off, you have to carry out a test flight along the coast, even if it crashes, let him crash into the sea, as far as possible to ensure the complete surname of the fighter, so as to facilitate the search for problems. But either way, your safety must be guaranteed. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, life is more expensive than an airplane."

After listening to Su Dao's explanation, Zhu Dazhang hurriedly nodded.

"Hmmm! Let's test fly. ”

Su Dao also nodded, secretly thinking in his heart, children can be taught, but as everyone knows, these grassroots officers have always taught recruits in this way, life is more expensive than airplanes, anyway, there are all kinds of versions, only life is the most valuable here, and the others are floating clouds.

After getting the order, Zhu Dazhang quickly turned over the fighter, and after making all preparations, Zhu Dazhang skillfully turned on the fighter's engine.

Zhu Dazhang was transferred to the scientific research base as early as two months ago, and he followed the scientific research personnel when they were studying the fighter, and whenever the scientific research personnel solved a problem or assembled the fighter, they would explain it to Zhu Dazhang, so that he could thoroughly understand the basic principles of this fighter.

The first flight doesn't seem to mean anything at all for others, but it is very important for a first-flight pilot, and before he knows the surname of the fighter, rash lift-off is tantamount to handing over his life to the fighter.

Every time the Air Force takes off, it may be the last moment of their lives, and the danger of unsafe landing has not been lifted, so through two months of familiarity, Zhu Dazhang already knows this fighter well.

After a short warm-up, the fighter entered the runway smoothly under the guidance of the ground crew, and then the tower sent back orders, and all the scientific researchers also entered the tower and recorded detailed test data through communication with Zhu Dazhang.

Because the horsepower of the fighter is very large, the distance of the glide is also slightly shorter, only about two-thirds of the original fighter, and the fighter flew smoothly.

Then, according to the instructions of the tower, he began to make various low-difficulty maneuvers to test the turning and other data of the fighter, followed by acceleration, testing the flight attitude of the fighter at a speed of 700 kilometers and the stability of the fighter.

After receiving the order, Zhu Dazhang quickly pushed the speed of the fighter to 700 kilometers, and the Hellcat fighter that accelerated at the same time was thrown away by Zhu Dazhang for a distance, but soon caught up after Zhu Dazhang stopped accelerating.

After doing this, Zhu Dazhang got the order to return home, after all, it was only the first flight, and they didn't dare to conduct too many tests, after returning to the ground, after a brief inspection, if there were no problems, they would conduct a second test flight again the next day.
