Wow, this contest seems to be really exciting!

Originally, I thought that the general trend of the game had been decided, but now that I have seen Long Yun's super performance, there are even people on the scene who are in a hurry to log on to the website to bet on the "flanker", but unfortunately after the game starts, the official website of NAARC no longer accepts any bets.

In the clear sky, firmly in control of the fighter control stick, recovering from the continuous 5G overload of the U-turn, Long Yun continued to carefully control the fighter to fly at a cruising altitude of seven thousand meters. He himself felt quite satisfied with the pressure point circling and turning around just now, but now he was more concerned about how much oil he had left?

Thinking of this, he glanced at the fuel gauge, and his landline now had about 5,200 liters of fuel left, that is, about four tons of fuel, although it was only about 40% of the total fuel tank capacity of the Su-27SK, but this number was still enough for him to carry out the second half of the anti-overtake tactics.

It's the F-15C in front, how much fuel does he have left?

This kind of thing just needs to think about it, and there is no need to ask it on the radio - anyway, that James can't tell himself, Long Yun calculated an account for his opponent in his heart. Although the F-15C's F100-PW-220 engine is more fuel-efficient than the AL-31F, but as he used afterburner as frequently as before, after a simple estimate, Long Yun guessed that the opponent's fuel may only be less than 4,000 liters, that is, about three tons, less than 40% of the fuel volume in the F-15C.

Hehe, who made this guy too eager to take off, and then frequently used up too much fuel?

Without too much hesitation, Long Yun began to push the throttle valve forward and turn on the afterburner. Bring the fighter into a steady acceleration state and start chasing the opponent. After using a U-turn to close the gap. He has already made his decision. Try your best to smooth out the remaining 10-odd kilometers of distance, and then have a fierce sprint competition with your opponent!

With the abundant injection of fuel, the flames of the tail nozzles of the two AL-31F engines turned from red to blue, and the high-temperature gas pulled out a long period of water vapor in the sky to condense into a white mist, and the accelerating Su-27SK soon broke through the sound barrier and continued to climb until it approached the high speed of Mach 1.5. At this time, the back of the F-15C on the EOS system is already very clear, and Long Yun can clearly see the blurred bright spots that are constantly getting bigger in the field of vision with the naked eye; The opponent seems to have noticed his acceleration, and the tail vent of the F-15C began to become brighter. But it's a little too late to start afterburner now.

Keeping the cruising attitude of the fighter unchanged, Long Yun, who was flying the Su-27SK, deliberately flew close to the opponent's route, and swept over the upper right side of the F-15C at a high speed of Mach 15; In the brief moment when the two fighters were in parallel, he didn't even need to use his consciousness to snoop, he could feel the anxiety and shock in James's heart in the F-15C close at hand.

That's natural, when this guy participated in the competition before, I'm afraid he has never experienced being directly surpassed by someone like this, right?

Hehe, then I'll let you see it today!

Seeing the "flanker" driven by the Chinese rushing frantically over his right side like this, James, who was anxiously using afterburner, was simply a little crazy. The F-15C, which is known for its high thrust-to-weight ratio and abundant power, except for perverted models like the "Flying Fox". How could someone have been overtaken like this?

Driven by the irritation, he immediately began to continue to push with full afterburner, the strong propulsion emitted by the F100-PW-220 engine gave him a clear sense of pushing back, and the airspeed meter showed that the current speed was only Mach 1.4 -

Damn, speed me up and speed up, I must catch up with that guy!

In this way, the two heavy fighters "Flanker" and "Eagle", which once faced each other across the sea on two distant continents, and were ready to fight in the air at any time, are now engaged in such a simple and direct competition as "running fast"; It's just that compared with the first half, the relative positions of the two have been reversed. Driven by James's full force, the F-15C, which has an advantage in thrust-to-weight ratio, is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it catches up under the initial lag, and soon accelerates to the high speed of Mach 1.8, at this time the Su-27SK in front is also flying at the speed of Mach 1.7, seeing this scene on the broadcast screen, the spectators are very excited, and it seems that they will soon decide the winner!

Flying at such a speed, the F-15C, which has an advantage in maximum speed at high altitude, will overtake the Su-27SK sooner or later, and the pilot's technology will not change this reality -

However, there is a prerequisite for this: that is, the fighter must have enough fuel to squander.

The F-15C, which is sprinting at high speed and consumes an astonishing amount of fuel, is only chasing after James in the cockpit, and he has completely forgotten to maintain the most economical cruising route; At this time, the Su-27SK flying in front of it has entered the best route of the 500-kilometer race, and Long Yun, who seems to be also unscrupulous and racing with afterburner, has begun to tighten the throttle and slowly accumulate altitude, ready to enter the S-shaped optimized track for the return landing.

Fighter racing is not about setting a speed record, it has to land on the airport to end the race, and this process is the time when the pilot's ability to control is extremely tested.

Because to change the flight attitude, it is necessary to adjust the angle of attack of the fighter and use the pneumatic control surface, which will lose the survival speed of the fighter; In addition, as the altitude is reduced, the engine condition and the aerodynamic state of the fighter will change, in fact, the introduction of a variety of complex factors has turned this process into an extremely complex mathematical problem, even if computer modeling analysis is used, it is difficult to obtain the optimal solution in the practical sense.

Under such a high-speed competition, James in the cockpit of the F-15C saw that his opponent was about to be overtaken by himself, but he was happy for a while before he heard the chirp of the fuel level indicator, and then found that he only had less than 600 liters of fuel left, but now he was close to 100 kilometers away from Sacramento!

Now it's a complete tragedy, what can 600 liters of oil do?

Of course, with the current situation, there should be no problem flying back to the airport, but the two F100 engines running at full force are like hunger, and the engine with full afterburner can burn nearly 20 liters of fuel in almost a second!

Seeing that the fuel was close to running out, James could only watch Shi Shiran, the "flanker" who had been neck and neck, draw a near-perfect descent track in the sky, although it seemed that the Chinese plane was also fluttering, but obviously there were still a lot of fuel reserves, and the flame of the tail nozzle was still so bright and gorgeous, and then ......

Then the opponent accelerated in a series of descending belts, disappeared from his sight and disappeared.

This hateful Chinese, he has flown without a shadow!

Yes, at this time, Long Yun had already flown far out of James' sight.

Piloting a wide fighter plane to patrol the vast sky, entering a state of concentration like an old monk, feeling the turbulence of the airflow of the body and the thrust output of the engine with all his energy, Long Yun's control became delicate and precise.

The huge and heavy body of the Su-27SK seems to have become extremely light at this time; With just the right thrust output and pneumatic surface control, this streamlined fighter with beautiful lines and full of industrial design aesthetics sways freely, outlining a concise and crisp sprint track in the blue sky.

As the altitude continues to decrease, the atmosphere around the fuselage becomes denser, and the speed of the fighter gradually decreases; In order to avoid needlessly expending thrust against the resistance of the dense atmosphere at low altitudes, the Longyunkong fighter gradually reduced its speed to below the speed of sound. At this time, he found from the rearview mirror that the F-15C, which was originally backward and without a trace, was barely keeping up, but it was obviously the end of the crossbow - there was not much fuel left, James was driving the plane into a dive, and it was clear that the height was exchanging speed for speed, although the speed of his fighter was still about 0.8 in Mach at this time, but if it continued like this, sooner or later it would be forced to land on a desolate Gobi somewhere in Nevada in advance.

Probably due to the mental stimulation of being overtaken by Long Yun just now - oh no, it was a super machine, James's pursuit strategy can be said to be quite unsuccessful, and entering the dive growth rate too early made him enter a low altitude with a sudden increase in resistance, you can imagine how thin the little fuel he has left, it would be very good to be able to hold on to the airport to land.

But who is to blame for this?

If you sprint too hard before, you will naturally drop the chain behind; Although the first-half shift feint tactics had repeatedly allowed him to win in speed races, now that he had an opponent like Long Yun, he had nothing else to do except look up in the cockpit.

As the airport runway gradually entered the field of view and became clear, Long Yun glanced at the fuel gauge, well, there were almost one hundred and fifty liters of fuel left; Although this bit of oil is pitiful and has caused the sound of the oil alarm, it is just enough for him to complete a foolproof powered entry and landing, drawing a successful end to today's thousand-mile run.

With the flaps of the fighter plane and the action of the flat tail, pulling out the standard landing angle of attack, the Su-27SK of Long Yunkong returned from the sky lightly, and the moment the main landing gear leaned out landed on the hard airport runway, the fuselage only trembled slightly, and there was not even much undulating bounce when most fighters landed.

"Bang-" released two cross-shaped parachutes, which was originally the standard operation for Su-27 fighters to approach and land; However, under Long Yun's precise control, the returning fighter plane landed at a speed of less than 300 kilometers per hour, and in order to save the pilots of "Uranus" some effort in folding the parachute, he did not use a parachute, but used the brake to control the planing of the fighter.

As if relaxing after a sprint, the graceful Su-27SK glided leisurely on the runway for more than 700 meters, stopping on the side of the tarmac near the end of the runway. (To be continued......)
