Chapter Twenty-Three: Cobra Maneuver
"Whew!" Like a goshawk that pounced on its prey, Luo Hai's face couldn't see anything at this time, his deep eyes were as empty as a void, without any emotion, holding the joystick tightly, and the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft under him was as if it had a spirit, and suddenly made a death roll.
After the death roll like a crocodile biting its prey, Luo Hai suddenly controlled the nose of the aircraft to rise slightly, and then the throttle valve was pushed to the maximum, and the nose of the aircraft was raised again, reaching a terrifying 50 degrees, and at this moment, the fuselage of the entire L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft seemed to have stopped instantly.
The next moment, a silver-gray Jian-10 accidentally rushed past the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training plane
"Dididi!" In the blink of an eye, the J-10B teardrop-shaped glass cockpit of the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft accidentally rushed through, and the rapid prompt sound of the omnidirectional radar warning system sounded.
With the silver-clad J-10B locked by the L-15 Falcon advanced trainer aircraft, in just three seconds, no matter how high the J-10B's maneuverability is, it will not be able to escape from the radar lock of the L-15 Falcon advanced trainer aircraft.
"Bang!" Luo Hai bit the J-10B to the death, and pressed the missile launch button after the radar was locked.
In an instant, a simulated Thunderbolt-8B close-range combat missile shot out and hit the J-10B in an instant.
Simulated air combat - Luo Hai wins!
"Good boy, well done!" The on-board computer system immediately showed that he had been destroyed, and seeing this, Zhang Wei took off the respirator and exclaimed to Luo Hai through the guΓ² radio encryption channel.
Gently pulling the joystick, he manipulated the J-10B to fly out flat, and then flew out with the L-15 "Falcon" advanced training aircraft.
Luo Hai heard Zhang Wei's words and shook his head: "No, you let me." β
The L-15 Falcon advanced trainer is only positioned as a high school, even if it can reach the level of a light fighter in its own right.
However, in terms of instantaneous circling angular speed, range, engine thrust-to-weight ratio, fighter thrust-to-weight ratio, aerodynamic layout, maximum flight speed and cruising speed, the L-15 "Falcon" advanced trainer aircraft is far inferior to the J-10B.
Using DSI inlet technology, improved and excellent aerodynamic layout optimization design, frightening instantaneous circling angular speed, range, engine thrust-to-weight ratio, and fighter thrust-to-weight ratio, J-10B is comprehensively ahead of the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft.
was able to win this simulated air combat fight, in addition to Luo Hai's unexpected use of a pseudo-cobra maneuver, another reason was that Zhang Wei released the water.
"Don't worry too much, even if I release the water, it will be extremely difficult to win this simulated air battle with the L-15 Falcon." Zhang Wei shook his head.
Luo Hai was silent: "Understood, thank you, Lao Zhang." β
"Boy, that maneuver you did just now was pretty good. Surprised, and completely flew out of the performance of the L-15 Falcon. Zhang Wei smiled and said.
Zhang Wei reminded Luo Hai: "But I want to tell you that this kind of cobra-like maneuver is very dangerous. β
"I understand." Luo Hai nodded.
The aerodynamic layout and thrust-to-weight ratio of the L-15 Falcon advanced training aircraft are not good, and it is already the limit to maneuver like a Cobra.
Suddenly, Zhang Wei asked Luo Hai, "Boy, do you want to learn the Puchogav Cobra Maneuver?" β
"Yes!" Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Luo Hai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said without hesitation.
At the Paris Air Show in June 1989, the former Soviet test pilot Viktor 61 Puchogav created this maneuver.
And this maneuver is also the signature maneuver of the Su-27 'Flanker'.
During the whole maneuver, the pilot quickly pulled the lever backwards and tilted the nose of the aircraft to between 110Β°-120Β°, forming the appearance of the nose in front and the tail in the back like a cobra lifting its body.
In actual combat, the fighter plane that makes the Cobra maneuver can dodge the attack of the enemy plane behind it, so that the enemy plane accidentally overtakes the entire body in an instant.
Then the pilot quickly pulled the lever to the end, changed the Cobra maneuver state, and cooperated with the high-performance airborne radar to instantly lock on to the enemy aircraft, so as to instantly reverse the form between the hunter and the prey.
The difficulty of the Puchogav Cobra maneuver, in addition to the fourth-generation aircraft with aviation vector turbofan engines, can only be made by a series of improved fighters of the Su-27.
"Luo Hai, in fact, the Cobra maneuver looks simple, but it is a great test of the performance of the entire fighter. The first domestic J-10A fighter can make a cobra-like maneuver, but the maximum elevation angle is only 80 degrees. Moreover, not all pilots will cobra maneuver. β
Zhang Wei said slowly.
"And I, on the other hand, happen to be able to cobra maneuver. Moreover, I control the most advanced J-10B fighter in China. Its upward angle is completely between 110Β° and 120Β°. β
"The J-10B is so powerful?" Luo Hai heard what Zhang Wei said and asked suspiciously.
He didn't expect that the domestic J-10B canard wing fighter would be able to achieve such good performance.
"Using DSI air intake, optimizing 10% of the aerodynamic layout, maneuverability increased by 15%, and using domestic WS-10 aviation turbofan engine, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the fighter reaches 1.2, the engine thrust-to-weight ratio reaches 8.1, and the J-10B is the best model I have ever flown in." Zhang Wei said leisurely.
Luo Hai heard Zhang Wei's words and nodded: "I see." β
Judging from what Luo Hai learned from Zhang Wei, the basic number of J-10B jΓΉ circulating on the domestic civilian network has a big error.
First of all, the first point is that the J-10B is not an improved two-seat fighter-bomber, but an air superiority fighter with better air combat performance.
After chattering for a while, Zhang Wei came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll show you the cobra maneuver next, and then go back and teach you slowly." β
"Good!" Luo Hai nodded and waited and seeed.
"Buzz!" The WS-10 turbofan engine burst out with strong power, Zhang Wei held the joystick tightly, controlled the J-10B, and then swept straight forward like a seagull.
Zhang Wei, who was controlling the J-10B, pulled the control stick violently under Luo Hai's gaze, stepped on the rudder, and controlled the throttle valve, and the entire J-10B seemed to be imprisoned, as if it was instantly stagnant in the air.
The nose of the plane was like an out-of-body cobra, and then the whole body suddenly seemed to be an arched cobra, looking ahead with dark eyes, as if it was about to attack with its tongue.
Cobra Maneuver! ββ
In an instant, the J-10B, which made a cobra-like maneuver, suddenly dropped its flight speed sharply. After Zhang Wei controlled the J-10B to make the Puchogav Cobra maneuver, after the flight speed prompted by the on-board diffractive photoelectric display was reduced to 300 kilometers per hour, he immediately pushed the throttle valve, pulled the control stick, and instantly leveled the J-10B in the Cobra maneuver and flew out.
It seems like a long time, but the whole maneuver lasted less than two seconds. After changing the level and flying out of the Cobra maneuvering state, Zhang Wei controlled the J-10B and returned to Luo Hai's side.
"How?" After piloting the J-10B back to the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft, Zhang Wei gasped slightly and said to Luo Hai.
Although the cobra maneuver requires the pilot to bear a small overload, the psychological pressure of an accidental crash and death is extremely great.
For the extremely classic and difficult maneuver of the cobra, no matter how good Luo Hai is, it is impossible to learn it in an instant, shaking his head, Luo Hai replied: "I want to go back and ponder." β
"Now you don't panic and practice first, first use the falcon to practice the most basic maneuvers, and it is best to practice to the point of perfection. Then you learn the theory first, and finally after you become a full-fledged pilot, you can try it. Zhang Wei proposed a proposal to Luo Hai.
"I understand this." Luo Hai nodded, he wanted to fly the Cobra maneuver, but the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft under him could never fly, which was a hard injury in the congenital situation.
Cobra maneuver can only be done by becoming a pilot, and then piloting the J-10 or J-11.
After Zhang Wei recovered his spirit for a while, he said to Luo Haiti: "Okay, there are about 15 minutes left for fuel, so let's step up our practice." β
"Hmm." Luo Hai nodded, and then the hand holding the joystick suddenly pulled, and the entire silver-gray L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft was like a living thing, and immediately reacted.
The next moment, the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training plane, like a living creature, flew out one thrilling and more aggressive maneuver one after another at an altitude of 9 kilometers.
After continuing the flight training for fifteen minutes, the exhausted Zhang Wei said to Luo Hai: "Luo Hai, the fuel has reached the lowest value, go back." β
Close combat air combat between high-performance fighters is extremely physically draining for pilots.
You must know that Zhang Wei is not Luo Hai, a demon whose body is extremely perverted, he conducted two simulated air battles, and then flew a cobra maneuver that was extremely mentally draining, Zhang Wei was extremely tired at the moment.
"Well, let's go, then." Luo Hai, who seemed to have carried out a fierce exercise, was extremely excited, but he was extremely excited, which did not mean that Zhang Wei and the fighter under him could continue to persevere.
The fighter plane is out of fuel, and it is not even a toothless tiger.
After the fuel of the two planes reached the minimum warning value, Zhang Wei and Luo Hai controlled the war eagle under them to return to the base. After landing on the runway of the airport, the exhausted Zhang Wei was helped away by the ground staff, on the other hand, Luo Hai, who was in a state of excitement, was maintaining the L-15 'Falcon' advanced training aircraft with the ground staff, and did not show any tiredness at all.
"What a demon." Standing in the tower of the base, Weng Tianping held a physical examination report and flight report in his hand, looked at Luo Hai who was maintaining the fighter plane with a telescope, and sighed in his mouth.
In Weng Tianping's hands, two reports showed how wicked Luo Hai was!
With an unprecedented AAA level of physical elements, extremely high flight consciousness and spatial awareness, every maneuver that flies out of the fighter plane seems to be made to shoot down the enemy.
Born pilots! A once-in-a-century genius!
