Chapter 518: Oxygen System Failure

As the altitude dropped, Lei Qiang felt that the dizziness began to subside, and he leveled the plane, at this time, it was only five hundred meters above the ground.

"004 report, oxygen system malfunction." Lei Qiang reported to the ground at this time, and at the same time, he had already seen the runway of the test flight institute in front of his eyes.

Although they all knew that Cheng Fei was developing a new fighter, because the project had been kept secret, the people present only knew that there was such an aircraft, but they did not know the specific shape of the aircraft.

Now, looking at this new fighter with a canard wing layout, everyone's eyes are bright, the appearance is atmospheric, beautiful, J-6 J-7, even if it is J-8, compared with this aircraft, it is already very old-fashioned.

Some people know that many of the aircraft under development in Western Europe at this time have adopted a canard layout, but they did not expect that they would also keep up with the trend and develop such an advanced fighter!

The air battle just now was almost a complete explosion of the F-16, although there seemed to be some accident before landing, but after all, it still landed successfully, which just slid to the runway, and a large group of people surrounded it.

The vice chairman of the Military Commission, the Minister of National Defense, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, and a large number of people, watching Lei Qiang walk down the gangway, could see that his forehead was full of sweat, as if he was in a sauna.

Song Lao was behind, looking at Lei Qiang, he knew that when Lei Qiang was returning home, the fighter had a bit of a malfunction, after all, this aircraft was still under development, and it would expose a lot of design problems, and then it needed to be improved.

Historically, in the course of the test flight, the No. 10 aircraft solved more than 1,400 problems in total. It's also a big risk, and it's a risk they have to take for the sake of the future of the 10th machine.

Now, seeing Lei Qiang coming down, Song Lao also relieved his heart, the failure of the oxygen system is a big problem. After you go back, be sure to find the cause of the problem carefully!

"The nose of this plane looks a bit like the F-16." said the vice chairman of the Military Commission.

In fact, in the process of development, this aircraft was borrowed from the nose of the F-16, with a flat nose and a flat bottom, so that it could play a pre-compression role in the air. Now, hearing what the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission said, General Wang, the commander of the Air Force on the side, immediately said: "This is not the same, you look at the air intake, there is a bulge inside, this is our most advanced technology, even the United States does not have such technology." ”

General Wang is very proud, at the same time. Born in the Air Force, he has a thirst for advanced technology. It is far superior to others.

"Our cockpit is also more advanced than that of the F-16." General Wang continued: "There are already two LCD screens in the cockpit, as well as a head-up display, and we use the same 1553B data bus technology as the United States, but our on-board computer has stronger computing power than the F-16."

Ascend the gangway. Looking at the cockpit, the vice chairman of the Military Commission felt very surprised: "Our electronic technology has surpassed that of the United States?" ”

This is absolutely unimaginable, it would be nice to be able to catch up with the United States, catch up? It can only be said in the sixties and seventies when satellites were placed.

"Yes. It exceeds the avionics equipment on the F-16 fighter jets provided to us by the United States. General Wang said that he has always been most concerned about the No. 10 project, and now, the No. 10 machine and the F-16 are engaged in confrontation, and the F-16 is full of teeth, taking this opportunity to explain to the vice chairman of the Military Commission, and after going back, it will be formally reported to the chairman of the Military Commission.

"Are we all making these devices ourselves?" The Minister of Defense asked.

"Most of it is homegrown, and a few are imported, from Pakistan." General Wang said.

As soon as they heard about the import, some people were still stunned, and then they were relieved to hear that it was imported from Pakistan.

At present, the military cooperation between Huaxia and Pakistan is very close, and even nuclear submarine technology can be sold, and it is normal for Pakistan to sell some electronic components to Huaxia.

Seeing these people talking lively, Shen Fei's people were standing far away, and the person in charge of Shen Fei had a gloomy face.

It's really embarrassing this time, I was locked by the other party six times, and I didn't have a chance to fight back! Such a fighter will definitely not be looked down upon by the Military Commission!

After spending a long time, it looks like it's going to be a waste again! And once Shen Fei has no project support and only relies on the J-8-2 to live, it won't be long before it will gradually decline, and Cheng Fei, with the help of this new model, is afraid that it will rise from now on.

I thought it would be an easy victory, but now that it ended up like this, Shen Fei's person in charge was very embarrassed.

"Minister." At this moment, he saw the minister of the Third Machine Department coming over and hurriedly said hello, after all, he was from Shen Fei at the beginning, and he would help Shen Fei in everything.

"There is moisture in this confrontation exercise, and we hope to find a reason, and in a few months, another confrontation exercise will be conducted, and this time it will not be counted." Shen Fei's person in charge is also smart, and he immediately came up with such a solution, now that he loses, he will play Laipi, and he will talk about it next time! Drag it out for a few months!

"We can make this suggestion, but I'm afraid the effect is very poor, you have to be mentally prepared, in case the project to introduce the F-16 fails, you have to have a new project to support it." After the minister of the Third Machine Department finished these few words, he turned around and left, this No. 10 machine seems to be really advanced, go and see it yourself!

New project? What other new projects does Shen Fei have? A J-8-2, in fact, is a double-hair large version of the J-7, and then change the nose air intake to both sides, just such a thing, it has been done for many years, and now it can be regarded as a finalized service, in fact, there are still a lot of problems. Shen Fei's person in charge frowned even more.

There was a roar in the distance, and Henry, who was wandering around in the mountains, also flew back, only to get lost on the way back, and went around again, and now, the fuel was almost exhausted, and he flew back.

At this point, it is no longer the stars holding the moon.

got off the plane and greeted Henry, only Shen Fei and his party were greeted.

Originally, after the air confrontation exercise, the two planes would be put together again and compared on the ground, but now, almost everyone has run to see the No. 10 plane, which is empty.

"Henry, what's going on with the air battle just now?" Through the translation, the person in charge of Shen Fei asked Henry.

"How do I know what's going on!" Henry was also angry: "That plane is so terrible, my radar can't detect it at all from sixty kilometers away!" I wrestle with it, and its various features, including maneuverability, including avionics, are on top of my plane! ”

At this time, Henry no longer maintains the authority of this aircraft, after all, this aircraft was originally a castrated version, and Henry, who had just been locked by the other party six times and "died" six times, of course, cannot be said to be unable to do it with his own technology, not a technical problem, that is, the gap in the performance of the aircraft itself!

After saying that, Henry shook his head and left the plane, and after flying for a few hours, it was time for him to rest.

That plane is terrible? This is what the American pilot said! The face of the person in charge of Shen Fei was even more gloomy and terrifying, which showed that Cheng Fei had already thrown off a lot of his own side in the development of advanced fighters!

The confrontation in the air has opened the eyes of the country's senior leaders, and their confidence in domestically produced fighters has greatly increased, and the argument of introducing F-16s has disappeared all of a sudden, and no one has mentioned the introduction of fighters from the United States.

As the test flight continues, the first thing to be eliminated is the malfunction of the oxygen system.

Oxygen is related to the safety of the pilot, in the high altitude, if there is no oxygen, the pilot will immediately faint, and then the plane will be destroyed and killed.

Generally speaking, before the fighter lands and takes off again, in addition to refueling, it also needs to be refueled, that is, the oxygen needed for high-altitude breathing, which is stored in a cylinder, and when there are infrared missiles, it is sometimes necessary to fill the liquid nitrogen that cools the seeker of the missile.

In later generations, the advanced F-22 fighter of the United States used molecular sieve oxygen production technology, and removed the bulky cylinder, which was originally a manifestation of advanced technology, but unfortunately, there was still a technical failure, and the result was that the plane was destroyed and people died.

Now, encountering such a problem, Cheng Fei immediately organized a breakthrough. It's a pity that after several sorties took off and landed, no problems were found.

What's going on? As a test pilot, he often participates in the troubleshooting of faults, Lei Qiang carefully recalled the situation at that time, he was fighting with the other party at high altitude, and oxygen needs to be consumed at high altitude, but according to the amount of oxygen supplied at that time, there will be no shortage of it, unless it is at low altitude, oxygen is also consumed, and such a situation will occur.

At low altitude, it is enough to rely on the outside air, and oxygen is not needed, and if oxygen is also consumed, then there is only one situation, the pressure sensor in the cockpit is faulty, making the computer think that the oxygen in the cockpit is insufficient! That's why oxygen is continuously output!

Yes, that's a big possibility! Lei Qiang said to Song Lao: "We need to check the cockpit pressure sensor!" If the cabin pressure is low, it will cause the emergency oxygen supply system to work! ”

Hearing Lei Qiang's words, everyone was stunned and immediately checked! Sure enough, it was the failure of the cockpit pressure sensor! It's so dangerous, the failure of such a sensor almost led to the destruction of the plane and the death of people, if this plane crashed that day, I am afraid that it will give Shen Fei's people enough excuses to attack their own fighters.

The development of the No. 10 machine continues to be in full swing, and the conspiracy of the Americans is almost bankrupt, and at this time, another exciting news came that the Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, will pay a state visit to China! (To be continued......)
