After entering the cockpit, after some complicated preparations, the life support system was connected to the airframe, the cockpit canopy was closed, the pressurization was confirmed, the various equipment was turned on, and then, with the help of the base trailer, came to the end of the runway. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At takeoff, the plane carried very little fuel.

The cockpit vision of the SR-71 is not very good, compared to the bubble cockpit of those F-15 and F-16, the front cockpit of the SR-71 has only four pieces of glass, and the area is not very large, and in the rear cabin, there is only one glass on the left and right sides, however, this kind of aircraft is much easier to drive than the "glider" like the U-2, not to mention, there are two powerful engines on the left and right sides.

With the help of ground support vehicles, the giant Blackbird started the engines on both sides, and then, under the powerful air flow that erupted from the tail nozzle, the Blackbird was ready to move.

"Poplar asks to take off." Major Edyielding said calmly.

"It's okay to take off, the nanny has already taken off and is waiting in the scheduled airspace." Said the ground officer.

With his space-gloved hands, Major Edyielding let go of the brakes and increased the throttle.

Like a black eagle, the SR-71 glides faster and faster from the runway, and the 144 kN engine emits surging power, allowing the forty-ton fighter to take off on the runway, and when it reaches the predetermined airspace, the "nanny", that is, the air tanker, will add more than 30 tons of fuel to their air.

"Heading 2-1-3, a hundred at a distance, ready for refueling in the air." Said the old partner in the rear cabin, Major Josephvida.

"Understood," Major Edyielding adjusted course and altitude, preparing for in-flight refueling.

Soon, the KC-10 large air tanker was visually spotted in front of them, and it was slowly waiting for them, and the three engines pulled out three white fog bands at an altitude of eight thousand meters.

"Nanny, Poplar asks for refueling in the air." Major Edyielding shouted over the radio.

"Babysitter received, please keep closer." In the tail section of the tanker. The tanker operator gave the order.

Refueling in the air is an effective way to expand the range of the aircraft and increase the combat effectiveness of the aircraft. Now, there are two main ways of refueling popular in the world, one is that the refueling machine sticks out the hose at the tail, and the refueling machine adjusts its position to put its refueling pipe on the conical sleeve of the refueling machine hose. Flight techniques for pilots of oiled engines. There are higher requirements, which is like walking a tightrope in the air, if the operation is wrong. A collision may occur between a dispenser and a refueling machine.

In addition to the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy and other countries around the world use this method of refueling. The U.S. Air Force, on the other hand, uses a hard tube for refueling.

In this way, the tail of the tanker is equipped with a refueling truss and the operator's control cabin composed of two stretchable rigid telescopic tubes, and the structure is integrated with the tail structure, and the operator in the control cabin is operated on his stomach on the plane. The middle of the refueling truss is equipped with a V-shaped operating surface, and the angle between the trailing edge is about 130 degrees, and the effect of the V-shaped operating surface is similar to the elevator of an aircraft, and the refueling truss can be moved within a certain range by manipulating it. And through the length of the refueling truss telescopic, after reaching the appropriate position, it is connected with the oil receiving pipe on the oil receiving machine. Once the two are connected. The refueling truss is automatically locked and starts to deliver fuel to the receiver. After the refueling operation, the two machines are separated.

This refueling method has nothing to do with the refueling machine, he only needs to refer to the yellow reference line on the belly of the refueling machine, and the refueling machine operator instructs to adjust the speed and position. Whether in-flight refueling can be carried out depends entirely on the skill of the operator on board the tanker, however, for the current US Air Force. There is almost no experience of refueling failure.

In addition to freeing the pilot of the oiled aircraft, another advantage of this in-flight refueling method is that the diameter of the hard pipe is relatively large and the oil pressure is also high. Refueling can be done quickly. There are also disadvantages, such as the complexity of manufacturing technology. Only one tanker can be refueled at the same time, and generally only large tankers can be equipped with this kind of equipment.

Major Yielding easily flew the Blackbird to a suitable position behind the tanker, and the refueling lever on the tanker began to move, successfully combining the Blackbird's fuel receiving tube, and then, the special JP-7 fuel flowed into the Blackbird's body.

"After refueling, you can get out."

"Okay, complete the detachment." Major Edyielding successfully completed the refueling action, and next, the Blackbird, will begin its journey.

"Come on, Blue Bird." Major Edyielding muttered a sentence in his mouth, at this time, he had become one with this reconnaissance plane, this plane, not a cold or hot machine, but a living friend.

Although the SR-71 is black, however, as the speed increases, the temperature of the surface will become higher and higher, at Mach 3, the temperature at the front of the wing will be more than 1,100 degrees (another version is more than 400 degrees, exact data requested), at the same time, the fuselage will peculiarly elongate by more than 30 centimeters due to thermal expansion and contraction, so the seams of the aircraft are coated with a special paint, to adapt to this elongation, the fuselage will also change from black to blue, so, Major Edyielding called the plane he was piloting a Bluebird, not a Blackbird.

With the operation of Major Edyielding, the SR-71 began to climb upwards, higher and higher, and at the same time, the speed continued to increase, and soon, the sound barrier was broken.

"First in the direction of 2-2-1, through Indochina and the Indian Peninsula, into Iranian airspace." Major Josephvida was also in charge of the pilotage, and they were already an old pair.

"If we are arrested on this mission, you are the real spy, and I am just a driver." Major Edyielding in the front cabin said suddenly.

Major Josephvida in the aft compartment is making one last adjustment to the camera equipment he controls, synthetic aperture radar and radio communications and electronic jamming equipment, as well as newly installed devices to detect radiation from a nuclear explosion. He flipped the switch and said, "We can't fight in the nest, we have to be unanimous." ”

Being shot down at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters is not a pleasant thing.

After exceeding Mach 2, they also rose to an altitude of 24,000 meters, at which point the fuel in the plane began to circulate inside, taking away excess heat, and the two engine cones almost reached their limit, indenting 26 inches into the engine compartment. The air intakes of the turbojet engines have been tightly closed, and the two J-58 engines at this time have become completely ramjet engines, because of the huge speed, the engine cone handles 100,000 cubic feet of air per second. In the case of high Mach, the air has been compressed directly at a tremendous speed, and the engine is running at full speed.

Outside the cabin, the edge of the earth can already be seen, which is what makes the SR-71 the most obsessive, although there is no thrilling feeling when maneuvering with high overloads, this kind of reconnaissance aircraft that only the elite can fly in the US Air Force is a powerful existence, high altitude and high speed, as if controlling the entire sky.

The outside of SR-71 has changed from black to blue at this moment, the fuselage is elongated, and the high-altitude flight suit they are wearing resembles a spacesuit, and the life support system has begun to work normally.

"Be careful, we are going to pass over the Indochina Peninsula, and there is a possibility that we will be exposed to radar." Major Josephvida in the rear cabin said.

"Shine it, even if they launch missiles, they don't fly as fast as us." Major Edyielding said calmly, their plane, which had been tracked by hundreds of missiles, but none of them could hit themselves, speed and altitude were their magic weapons.

"Nonsense, you don't have a defpanel there, you won't see how many missiles are coming at us!" Major Josephvida in the aft compartment was already familiar with the temper of the pilot in front of him, and the two of them had become a very good pair, he said as he paid attention to the information displayed on the screen in front of him.

However, they mainly passed through a narrow area in southern Thailand, where air defense facilities were very poor, and they were only exposed to two brief radar attacks during the entire flight.

Northern Iraq, H-3 airbase.

One of Joseph's teams, which has been working here for more than five months, came here to add airborne equipment to the MiG-25: a terminal of the C3I system, and the MiG-25 was also integrated into the Iraqi command system, but the difficulty of modification was very great.

This Soviet-style fighter, the on-board equipment is completely different from the Western one, for the group that has been familiar with the electronic equipment of the French and American fighters, to deal with the avionics on this Soviet-style fighter, it is a very complicated and head-scratching thing, even, when they encountered the greatest problem, they thought about replacing the avionics of this fighter simply like the super seven, all of them were replaced with Western avionics, but in that case, I am afraid that the difficulty of developing a new aircraft is about the same, especially, their modification, No technical assistance from the USSR will be received.

For example, a large number of Soviet technicians came at random, and even in the early days, most of the MiG-25s were piloted by Soviets, but after Lord Qusay took power, the situation was slowly improving, some Soviets returned home, and some Soviets chose to remain silent about Iraq's current modification work under the high salaries provided by Iraq.

C3I system, is an indispensable booster of modern warfare, in particular, the current fighters, to be able to transmit data with early warning aircraft at any time, in order to play a greater role, after hard work, they finally completed the task, today, is the day of test flight.
