What airplane, capable of flying with its head backward and tail forward? It's almost pushing the limits of human cognition!

The on-site narrator is explaining in international English, this is the Su-27's exclusive maneuver, called the Super Cobra maneuver, invented by the chief test pilot of the Su-27, Pugachev, at a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour, this deceleration action can be reduced to a minimum of 150 kilometers per hour, and after the resumption of level flight, the flight can continue to be controlled.

This kind of maneuver represents that the Su-27 fighter has excellent low-altitude and low-speed flight ability, strong control performance, and this maneuver has the significance of actual combat, when the fighters fight each other, the fighters behind the tail chase have been closely following, at this time, the fighters in front can make this super cobra maneuver to let the opponent's fighter leap over from their upper part, you can change the tail chasing role, and successfully bite the enemy plane.

The military fans who listened to the scene were talking about it with relish.

Hussein was on the side, and couldn't help but shake his head, this kind of action, at most, shows that the control performance of this fighter is good, in actual combat, which pilot dares to make such a brainless action, it is strange not to be shot down!

Now, the theory of air combat has been developed very well, the most famous is the theory of energy air combat, who can win in the dazzling dogfight? It mainly depends on who has good maneuverability and who has great energy! Therefore, when the aircraft is in air combat, it must be pulled up first, in order to obtain energy, in continuous maneuvers, constantly consume energy, whose energy can be recovered as soon as possible, who has a chance to defeat the opponent, therefore, the advantage of the double-engine heavy air superiority fighter is decided. Two engines. It can make the fighter more energy, which is convenient for mobile combat!

If anyone in an air battle evades the opponent by actively decelerating in this way, it is really an ordinary stupidity, the speed has been reduced to more than 100 kilometers per hour, and there is almost no energy for maneuvering. Turn on the afterburner acceleration again, it will take dozens of seconds, during this time, it is simply a live target, even if it is a 10G overload missile, it will definitely not be able to dodge.

Moreover, the Pakistani Air Force has long found the weakness of such aircraft, born with hypochondriasis, which can even lead to disintegration when maneuvering with large overloads. Really air confrontation, Hussein has multiple ways to deal with it.

"It's our turn." Hussein's side, that John didn't know when he came over, and said to Hussein: "Our Tomcat fighter is the best fighter, please give full play to the performance of our fighter." ”

The Pakistan Air Force was also invited to attend the Farnborough Air Show and invited them. It's Grumman, and John is the representative of Grumman. Hussein and others came here, but he didn't know that Pakistan's aviation industry company also exhibited its own research and development results.

Grumman's Tomcat fighters have always been poorly sold, and there is no third export country except Iran and Pakistan, in comparison. The F-15 has been sold to many countries, and Grumman needs to promote their military aircraft, and this opportunity for an air show must not be absent.

At the same time, although this fighter is the main fighter of the US Navy. But it was in the hands of the Pakistan Air Force that shined, and this time the Pakistan Air Force was invited to conduct an air show, which naturally also had such a purpose, so that Pakistan could publicize it, which was better than the propaganda of the US Navy.

"Don't worry." Hussein said: "Our aircraft has long achieved absolute superiority over the Su-27 in actual combat. ”

Hussein's words are well-founded, in the air battle between the two sides, the exchange ratio is far less than the other side's losses, however, this is not because of the absolute excellence of the Tomcat fighter, but because of the system, the Tomcat fighter under the command of the E-3 early warning aircraft, relying on long-range and medium-range missiles to win, as little as possible into the approach fight, if it is really entangled, the Su-27 helmet sight plus a large off-axis combat projectile, there is also a great threat to the Tomcat fighter.

Now, Hussein is full of confidence, he is flying the latest Tomcat fighter equipped with F110 engines, the Tomcat fighter has been completely solved in the previous heart disease, and due to the increase in thrust-to-weight ratio, the performance of the Tomcat fighter is even better.

Although most of the third-generation and fourth-generation fighters have abandoned the variable swept wing technology, large side strip wings, and wing-body fusion, these aerodynamic advances have made the shape design of the fighter more smooth, and there is no need for complex and heavy variable swept wings. However, the variable swept wing is definitely not outdated! This technology can handle the maneuvering of fighters at various speeds from low to high speeds, in various airspace, so that the efficiency of the wing is always maximized.

When Hussein stepped into the cockpit, it seemed that time had begun to freeze, and his mind was still recalling the intense thrill of catapulting off from the deck of an aircraft carrier.

If you are a man, you should conquer the sky!

The two engines started in turn, and after communicating with the tower, the Tomcat fighter slowly slid off the tarmac and aimed at the runway.

A heat wave erupted from the tail, a blazing flame, which was clearly visible. Compared with the Su-27 engine, this American-made engine rarely emits black smoke.

When he received the order to take off, Hussein released the brakes, the afterburner was fully opened, and the Tomcat fighter ran quickly on the runway, and at a distance of more than 200 meters, the front wheels of the Tomcat fighter had already risen, and then, the entire fuselage was light, and it had already flew!

Full speed sprint! Hussein pulled the lever back, the throttle was wide open, and at this time, the Tomcat fighter began to take off at a high angle of attack with its strong engine thrust, and the eyes of the viewers on the ground were the belly of the fighter, and then they saw the wings swept back in unison, almost merging with the fuselage.

Handsome, so handsome! Just like Transformers!

When the Su-27 took off, the black smoke behind it made a deep impression, and it was not until the Cobra maneuver that people felt that the plane's maneuverability was good.

And the Tomcat fighter, flying together, won the cheers of the audience.

After the release of the movie Top Gun, people all over the world, not only military fans, have exploded with great enthusiasm for this kind of fighter, and now, seeing this kind of fighter with their own eyes, listening to the roar of the engine, and witnessing the change of the swept wing, they are all excited all of a sudden, it is so beautiful!

"This U.S. Air Force fighter is really beautiful." A member of the audience said.

"This is a carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy, not the Air Force." A military fan said.

"It's not from the U.S. Navy, look at the logo on that tail, it's from the Pakistan Air Force!" A veteran military fan said: "In the skies over Afghanistan, this kind of fighter wiped out the Soviet plane, yes, it was the Su-27 fighter that flew just now!" ”

Air battle in Afghanistan! This is an air battle that all military fans are talking about, their mouths, from time to time can pop out some professional words, a hundred kilometers away, the immortal bird was shot, and then, it was a sparrow, and the Su-27 fighter was jammed by an electronic jammer and was defeated.

"That plane just now, it seems that the maneuverability is also good, right?" A viewer asked.

"Those are all showmanship, and it depends on actual combat." This veteran military fan said: "This Su-27 fighter is at least ten years behind the Tomcat. ”

Speaking of this, he felt that something was wrong behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw a pilot who had not yet taken off his anti-load suit, passing by him, and his voice was so loud, it must have been heard by the other party, who was still carrying a helmet in his hand.

The tall body, the unique Soviet big nose, looking at this person, the veteran military fan immediately closed his mouth, he knew that this pilot must be the one who had just come off the Su-27.

Pugachev was very dissatisfied.

He came here to show the most advanced fighters of the Soviet Union, and at the same time, it has been decided that the export of such fighters in exchange for foreign exchange, even if it is exported to Western countries, is acceptable! Therefore, he came here with an important task, which is to fly out the performance of this fighter and let Westerners know how high-end this fighter is.

Originally, he had succeeded, and the cobra maneuver had already made the audience enjoy, but after his performance, the Tomcat fighter stole the limelight.

It's all those front-line pilots who don't fight! Not familiar with the maneuverability of the Su-27 fighter, as a result, it was completely incapable of playing in air combat, which led to defeat! However, they can't be blamed, they have too little flight time.

Seeing that the Tomcat fighter flew over again, performing a maneuver of tail rush, Pugachev suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Simply, right here, defeat the Tomcat fighter and let everyone know that the Su-27 fighter is the king who dominates the sky!

Thinking of this, Pugachev strode towards the tarmac.

Several ground crews who came with them were maintaining the plane, and when Pugachev came over, they were a little curious, at this time, Pugachev was already an ace test pilot of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, and everyone knew him.

"I'm going to keep flying." Pugachev said: "Prepare a ladder for me." ”

"But we don't have any more missions." Ground staff said.

"Yes, now, I'll give you the latest mission, let me take off immediately!"

Sitting in the cockpit, Pugachev quickly started the engine and taxied onto the runway, where a large C-17 transport plane was waiting to take off.

"What is that Su-27 for?" The people in the tower spotted the plane and immediately shouted, "Stop it immediately." ”

This is a serious violation of flight safety, and without the command of the tower, it is easy to collide in the air.

Unfortunately, the plane did not respond, and the people in the tower watched the fighter, quickly glide from the runway, and then take off. (To be continued......)
