Chapter 141: First Sight of Tomcat

Looking at Lilith's expression beside her was unnatural, Mhammad took her hand, suggesting that with her own presence, anything could be handled.

Lilith stepped down the steps, step by step, and walked slowly.

"Welcome to our Pakistani friends." Bill came up and said, "On the battlefield in Afghanistan, you are a hero, and we Americans worship heroes. ”

"May our friendship last forever." Mhammad said, clasping his hands together.

Pierre, who was next to him, shook hands with Mhammad with a strange expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth were raised, not knowing what to say.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful lady." Bill said to Lilith next to Mhammad, graciously took Lilith's hand and kissed the back of her hand: "You are Mhammad's wife, right?" ”

"Not yet." Lilith smiled and said, "It still needs to be agreed by His Excellency Pierre." ”

The two must have known each other, and Mhammad had a premonition just now, and now, Lilith said it here, which made Mhammad also wonder, what is the relationship between the two?

Lilith didn't shake Pierre's hand, and bent down: "Father, how is my grandfather now?" ”

Father? This 40-year-old vice president of Grumman will soon be his father-in-law? Hearing the two words coming out of Lilith's mouth, Mhammad's mouth opened wide in surprise.

Karid in the back instantly relaxed, this girl turned out to be an authentic American, and she was still the daughter of the vice president of Grumman, it seemed that she was worried too much.

When Lilith heard about Mhammad's story, she wanted to go to Afghanistan. However, as the jewel of the family, Pierre was very opposed, and at that time, Lilith sneaked away, when she learned that Lilith had gone to Afghanistan. Pierre had no choice but to protect Lilith through the guò arms dealers.

This time, I learned that Lilith was coming back, but I didn't know that she would come with Mhammad, let alone that Lilith's relationship with Mhammad was close to this kind of journey.

"Let's talk about the affairs of the family, let's talk about it later, we will welcome the guests from afar first." Pierre said: "Your Excellency Mhammad, welcome to Grumman. We prepared a special plane and flew directly to the company. ”

Grumman manufactures airplanes, and the company has its own special runway, and after the aircraft is manufactured, it can fly directly to the destination, and test or something, you need to fly.

If Mhammad had come on a special plane, he would have landed directly on the runway of Grumman's airport. You don't have to come here to greet you.

"No, let's go visit Mr. Grumman first." "He is a senior in aviation," Mhammad said. Or Lilith's relatives. ”

At the mention of old Mr. Grumman, the expression on Pierre's face was sad: "I'm sorry, just yesterday, my father-in-law has gone to heaven. ”

"What?" Lilith's face turned pale for a while, she was still late, and she didn't see the last side of her grandfather... Her eyes went dark. The body is soft.

"Lilith!" Mhammad grabbed Lilith's arm tightly, and Lilith was devastated when she suddenly heard her loved one leave.

Landley Rilloy Grumman, who single-handedly founded Grumman and supported the skies of the U.S. Navy, is already a seventy-year-old man. After countless winds, frosts, snow and rain, I finally left this world and my soul went to heaven.

At the church on Long Island, countless U.S. Navy veterans attended Grumman's funeral, and even Bill came here to greet Mhammad and his party after the funeral.

Just got off the plane, hearing such bad news, Mhammad and the others felt a little heavy.

Sitting on the plane to Long Island, Mhammad hugged Lilith in his arms, this qiē, it seems to be very commonplace, this is the best way to comfort a girl.

"At the request of his father-in-law, his remains were cremated and scattered into the surrounding sea, and he said that he would stay with this sea forever and be able to look up at the planes in the sky every day." Pierre said to Mhammad.

Muhammad nodded, at this point, it would be superfluous to say anything, and one expression would be enough.

"At the beginning, Lilith went to Afghanistan after hearing about your heroic deeds, and now, I am relieved that Lilith can be with you." "I wish you happiness and a happy collaboration," said Pierre. ”

"Look! Plane! At this moment, Hussein, who was sitting on the side of the cabin, couldn't help but shout, his words were full of surprise, as if he had never seen an airplane before.

Outside the cabin, a large fighter plane appeared in the field of vision, the wide fuselage, like an eagle flying with wings, two engines in the tail, spraying flames, double hanging tails, looking so majestic, at this moment, Hussein looked stupid.

As if deliberately showing off, the tail suddenly erupted with a larger flame, and the fighter began to sprint rapidly, and Hussein could clearly see that the wing was turning backwards, and the sweep angle was maximum, which was simply cool, and unlike the stiff variable sweep wing of the Soviet fighter, its wing was obviously much more flexible.

"This is our Grumman masterpiece, the pride of the Navy, the F-14 Tomcat." Pierre said: "Our fighter is a fully variable sweep wing, computer-controlled, and the sweep angle can be adjusted to any position, which is a generation more advanced than the Soviet fighters. ”

Before coming, Hussein had studied this kind of fighter, but when he really saw it, he was quickly impressed by its chic and flexible posture, if he could fly this kind of fighter, how energetic it would be!

"Every fighter has to be tested before leaving the factory, and now this one is being tested by our test pilots." Pierre said.

The airliner landed on the runway of the Grumman factory, and when he got off the airliner, on the shed erected next to it, Mhammad picked up a telescope and looked in the direction of the roar overhead.

This is indeed a test of the aircraft, but also to show the visitors the good maneuverability of this aircraft, Mhammad watched the various maneuvers made by this fighter, it was simply pleasing to the eye.

In particular, when the F-14 fighter has the smallest wing sweep angle. As he flew over the airport with the largest wingspan, Hussein almost had his heart in his throat.

This action is very simple, it is called low-altitude clearance, but the speed of low-altitude clearance is generally much greater than that of the fighter in front of you. Even if he drove the Jian-6 himself, he didn't dare to pass through the field at this speed! The speed is too small, so small that it is like an old man staggering by, and in this case, even a slight crosswind will have a great impact on the fighter.

At the same time, it is also the easiest way to show that this fighter has good performance, which shows that its aerodynamic layout is very reasonable, indicating that the wing load is very low. Even when it was fighting with a World War II propeller fighter, it could win in maneuverability!

"Chief of Staff, we need this kind of fighter!" Hussein, with excitement and trembling in his voice, said to Mhammad, although his voice was not loud, but it was still heard by Pierre, and his heart was full of joy.

"All of these fighters are two-seaters?" Hussein asked again.

"Yes. To operate a powerful radar in front, guidance of long-range Immortal Bird missiles. A specialized weapons operator is needed in the back. Pierre said: "If you are interested, you can sit in the back cabin first and feel it." ”

In order to sell this fighter, Grumman did its best, but unfortunately, it competed with McDonnell Douglas' F-15. has always fallen behind, and it is easy for the people in front of him to take a fancy to this fighter, and Pierre naturally wants to strike while the iron is hot to make them completely like this fighter.

"Your Excellency Mhammad, would you like to feel it?" Pierre asked Mhammad.

Mhammad shook his head. It looks like a dazzling flight, it seems to be very enjoyable, really sit on it, it's not like this, huge overload, only specially trained people can experience happiness. If the pilot in front wanted to toss, Mhammad would definitely vomit all over the cockpit.

"Hussein, go up and feel it." Mhammad said.

"Yes." Hussein came this time to experience this fighter as an exchange, but now, he is watching with a blank eye, and he can't wait to go up immediately.

With a dashing attitude, he slid onto the runway, and although he didn't use the blocking rope, the tomcat quickly slowed down and stopped.

Watching Hussein go up, Pierre smiled at Mhammad and said, "Brigadier General Mhammad, what do you think of the performance of this fighter?" ”

"Good, good." Mhammad nodded again and again, watching the tomcat glide on the track again, and it only took a distance of more than two hundred meters to pull up.

The aspect ratio is 7.28, the minimum take-off distance of the standard combat mount is 300 meters, and the minimum level flight speed of the standard combat mount is less than 250 kilometers, these numbers are very against the sky, you know, there is no finalized Su-27 yet, the minimum take-off distance of the standard combat mount is 680 meters, and the J-10 of later generations is 590 meters. Now the tomcat is unloaded, and in less than three hundred meters, it flies.

"So, do you have the intention to buy?" Pierre asked, as if he were a pimp, eager to push the prostitute out for sale.

"It's a pity that your country has no intention of selling it to us." Mhammad said.

"As long as your country is interested, our cooperation will be possible." "Let's solve the problem that lies ahead of us together," Pierre said. ”

"We're going to have a cocktail party tonight to welcome Brigadier General Mhammad, and there are a lot of people from the aviation community, members of the Senate, and a few people from the consortium family, who all have great admiration for Brigadier Mhammad, and you are a hero who has done great things in Afghanistan." Pierre said.

The implicit meaning in Pierre's words could not be more obvious, and through this reception, certain meanings could be conveyed. (To be continued......)
