The black fighter, aligned with the runway, with a smooth slope, slowly slid down, and the special wheels rubbed against the runway, making a squeaking sound.

It was a perfect flight.

The plane taxied to the end of the runway and came to a steady stop.

Nathan's first Mach three flight experience has ended, in fact, the time to really fly to Mach three in the air is less than a minute, and now, sitting in the cockpit, Nathan actually has a feeling that he doesn't want to come down.

I really want to experience it again, when I see the vastness of space, the feeling is so wonderful, and when I see the edge of the earth, it is so strange.

"Major, you can go down." Graham, who was in the front cabin, said: "Tonight, what a pleasant flight! ”

If there was no Nathan, Graham would not have teased the dispatch of the flight control center, and when he said that, Graham actually felt a pleasure all over his body, well, no wonder Nathan always likes to do something out of the ordinary, which can really cause people to be happy.

"yes." "Graham, our radio recording today will soon be all over the base," said Nathan. ”

Airplanes have black boxes, and fighter planes are even more so, every time they come down, they export data, and when the analysts hear their conversations, haha...

Nathan was already able to think of it, and it was definitely a funny joke.

"Major Nathan, how are you feeling?" At this moment, in the grass in front of him, a person came out, it was Emily.

At this time, Emily, wearing a CIA intelligence officer uniform, looked beautiful under the illumination of the lights, and her long hair fluttered behind her, making people feel the urge to pounce.

"Well, it's not bad." "It was a wonderful flight," Nathan said. ”

"Major Nathan, this is the first time you've not had a verbal fight with the Air Force." Emily said.

So, Nathan could only smile, that is also a separation, so Nathan quickly changed the topic: "That plane, how did it disassemble?" ”

"Well, the engineers are very efficient, they have all been taken apart, and when you change into the flight suit, we will go and see." Emily continued.

Now Nathan is still wearing a one-piece flight suit, and after taking off his flight helmet, he suddenly feels much more comfortable, and he can finally breathe a breath of fresh air.

The Blackbird reconnaissance plane was behind him, and Nathan turned his head to take another look, at this time, the fuselage of the plane, many positions, had begun to leak oil, which was really different from the arrogant posture just now.

Following Nathan's line of sight, Graham was very helpless: "I really don't know how the Soviets solved this problem." ”

"The solution of the Soviets was simple, we all thought wrong." Emily said, "We'll see." ”

The mystery has been revealed, the Soviets did not use titanium alloys, but stainless steel!

When several people rushed to the hangar where the MiG-25 was placed, the MiG-25 inside had been dismantled into a skeleton.

The outside of the plane is skinned, and these are fastened with rivets, and when the skin is taken apart, the inside is revealed, and there is a skeleton like ribs, and all the equipment is fixed to the skeleton.

Now, all that remains is the skeleton, and all the accessories have been taken apart, numbered, and photographed for restoration.

They've been working on it for many days, and now, there's no bomb threat, so it's progressing fast.

"The Soviets used special steel, which occupies eighty percent of the entire airframe structure." Now, the detailed data has not yet come out, and it can only be a rough estimate.

It's called stainless steel, it's a common name, but it's not an ordinary stainless steel.

Specifically, this "high-strength aviation structural steel" is mainly VNS-2 and VNS-5 two types of steel, of which VNS-2 its full name is high-nickel high-temperature resistant martensitic steel, VNS-5 full name is high-molybdenum and high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel, both types of metals are unique to the Soviet Union.

It can also be said that it is a new special stainless steel created by the USSR for the development of the MiG-25.

The Soviets, using this method, solved the problem of high temperature, compared with the American titanium alloy, it is simply a model of low-cost problem solving!

Everyone is sighing.

"It seems that it was completely unnecessary for us to tremble for the MiG-25 before." Graham couldn't help but say: "I thought it was so advanced in technology that it was actually solved in the most brutal way." ”

The MiG-25, a sharp sword hanging over the head of the American Air Force, was stunned when it first appeared at the Moscow Air Show, and now, the mystery of the MiG-25 has finally been completely solved.

Stainless steel brought the problem of structural overweight, which was solved by a high-thrust engine, and the problem of high fuel consumption of the engine was achieved through a fairly high oil load in the aircraft, and the MiG-25 was undressed and unloaded, and was thoroughly studied.

"Yes, the MiG-25 is not terrible, but we still have to be careful when facing it." "This plane is bulky when it's fully loaded, and once most of the fuel in the plane has been consumed, it's incredibly nimble, so don't get into a fight with this plane if you don't have to," Nathan said. ”

Strategically you have to despise the enemy, and tactically you have to pay attention to the enemy, just like when Nathan burned out the fuel during his performance in order to sell the Tomcat, and as a result, he got a good thrust-to-weight ratio, showing beautiful moves one by one, and once the MiG-25 consumed the overweight fuel, it would also be quite difficult.

To deal with it, it is better to put missiles from a distance, but it is a pity that the hit rate of the current missiles is still not high, even if it is an immortal bird, it cannot pose too much threat to the MiG-25.

What Nathan said, Graham nodded in agreement, although Graham is now flying a reconnaissance plane, but before flying the Blackbird, he has always been flying ghost fighters.

"So, we're going to test all the features of this aircraft." Emily smiled and said, "Nathan, by the time this plane is assembled, you still have a lot of flying missions." ”

Why is Nathan called to fly the MiG-25? Of course, it's not just about making Nathan enjoyable.

There are many test pilots here, who can fly all kinds of actions, but when it comes to actual combat, Nathan has the most right to speak, so Nathan can give full play to the performance of the MiG-25 when driving.

One of Emily's responsibilities is to collect data, and she believes that Nathan will be able to fly this plane with more detailed and real data, and then he can specify a-for-tat plan to deal with this kind of plane in battle.
