Chapter 670: Gulfstream Business Jet
The first time he piloted a military plane into the air, although it was only for general training and controlled an old fighter plane that had been cancelled from the military, Long Yun's mood was still a little nervous.
Speaking of which, driving the Su-27 in a parallel world to kill all sides and make all opponents terrified, of course, these are all done by him under the guise of Viktor Rezenov; However, even if these things are easy to do, after all, they are also happening in another world, and really piloting this kind of heavy fighter with smooth lines and long body in reality is still a little shallow strangeness to Long Yun.
This strangeness is partly due to the change of identity, that is, the change of identity from Victor to Long Yun; The other part is from the Su-27SK that Long Yun is now flying, which is still a little different from the original Su-27S of the Soviet Air Force in the parallel world. After reading the flight manual before taking off, Long Yun only roughly knew that this batch of old SKs had further improved the fly-by-wire control system during the mid-term modification, and the flight control code had been basically rewritten in accordance with the research and development experience of the J-11 series, which was reflected in the pilot's control to be more flexible than the original Su-27SK, which still needs a little time for Long Yun to get used to.
The so-called "a little time" is the real literal meaning for Long Yun.
From the acceleration of the glide and the climb off the ground just now, Long Yun, who was firmly holding the joystick with both hands, was able to feel the air flow in all directions from the slight state changes of the fighter; With the help of the actual driving experience gained in the parallel world and the results of the exercises on the simulator, he quickly summed up some differences between the old SK and the standard Su-27S, and corresponded to the content of the flight manual in his memory.
A fighter plane that moves freely in three-dimensional space. Unlike other carriers that can only move on a flat surface. The complexity of handling can be said to be the most difficult of common motion machines. Pilots can only truly control these metal giants soaring in the sky after long-term systematic training; Generally speaking, for pilots, the cycle of changing the pilot's driving model is measured in years, and only after long-term training can a new model be completely thoroughly understood and truly effective combat effectiveness can be formed.
For these situations, Liu Kai, who flew another Su-27SK from afar, naturally knew it; Although the popularity of aviation simulators has greatly simplified this process, if a Feifei wants to change from "stick ten" to "two seven", it will not be able to run in three or two months.
Not only that, but if it really becomes a tacit cooperation that can fight tough battles. It will take years!
In addition to the difficulty of selecting talents, it is also a very time-consuming and dangerous task to familiarize pilots with flight combat capabilities with and master the types of aircraft types.
Oh, so to speak......
Sitting in the smoothly flying fighter plane, staring at the blue and white fighter plane hundreds of meters away, Liu Kai reminded Long Yun of his flight control on the radio, and added a few comments or praises from time to time, while also sighing in his heart.
Isn't it, no wonder this Feifei named Long Yun. He can beat himself up in simulator battles; Not to mention anything else, just looking at how easily he is driving the "Two Sevens" now, he is familiar with it. To say that this guy has no experience in flying "two sevens" before, this kind of thing is really a ghost to believe!
There was a burst of emotion in his heart, plus a little admiration and envy, Liu Kai naturally didn't know the real situation of Long Yun, he thought that this guy was a test pilot somewhere, and he came here to fly Lao SK in order to accumulate flying experience; As for other models, the domestic J-11 series and the Su-35 of Soviet Russia are all similar, so this Longyun must have flown one or two of them before, and now it can be used so quickly.
If this continues, maybe this "cadet" will be able to complete all the training subjects step by step after staying here for a week?
Just when Liu Kai was flying with the plane and thinking about something, there was a call on the radio, which was an air situation report from the airport tower, or a reminder of their planned route:
"Call the long plane, call the long plane, please confirm that the navigation information link is normal, and be careful not to fly over the boundary of the scheduled training airspace; Repeat, being careful not to fly over the training airspace boundary, over. ”
"The long plane has received, and the navigation number is being received, and the current situation is normal, and it is over."
Hearing the reminder from the tower, Liu Kai first switched the channel, told Longyun to continue to complete the scheduled training content, and fully familiarize himself with the control characteristics of the Su-27SK, and then poked the display panel twice to check today's airspace information on the multi-function display, so as not to let the two fighters forget to check the map on a whim and fly out of the predetermined area and lead the unpredictable consequences.
This kind of thing, many years ago, when aviation was not yet developed, may not be a big deal, but now the demand for civil aviation competition and air transport has exploded, and the originally not abundant airspace resources have become more tight.
Take Shijiazhuang, where the two of them are now located, for example, the demand for air transportation itself is not too large, but because it is located in Hebei and close to the capital Beijing, there are many routes planned in the sky - unlike the winding and limited terrain lines on the ground, in order to save time and fuel, air flights are generally directly planned in a straight line, so all aircraft flying from southwest China and other countries outside China will basically pass over Shijiazhuang. Naturally, route planning becomes particularly important.
It is precisely for this reason that for the flight mission requested on a temporary basis today, the air traffic control system can only arrange the two fighters in a narrow airspace close to the main route, which is enough for the fighters to fly back and forth and mainly carry out piloting rather than combat training.
After glancing at the navigation map twice, Liu Kai noticed that one side of the training airspace where they were located was a busy air planning route, but it was not the same as what he usually saw on the tower, it seemed that on this route that should have been very busy and lined with aircraft, there were only a few planes flying slowly at this time; Noticing several bright spots on the air situation information that was slowly approaching north on the map and refreshed every few seconds, two of which were marked as "friendly planes" by the IFF system, Liu Kai blinked behind his goggles, and he knew from experience that these should be the two air force fighters escorted by the aircraft.
Oh...... Come to think of it, something like this?
Seeing that the Su-27SK, which was not far ahead and was close to the boundary of the training airspace, had entered the side turn, Liu Kai checked the navigation information and followed the calm sidestick slope.
In today's training, I don't know if it was affected by the defeat in the morning, his Su-27SK, which was the call sign "long plane" and indeed the long plane in this two-plane formation, was now piloted by himself and followed behind the "wingman"; This kind of scene made Liu Kai feel quite funny, and he contacted Long Yun in the channel, telling him that he could conduct an accelerated level flight test in the transonic segment below, and for this he needed to increase the altitude to more than 6,000 meters.
While talking, last night's news program came to mind, sitting on a folding stool and watching TV with his comrades in the base, and the evening news that was not very interesting was often remembered very well; Looking at the multi-functional display screen in front of him, and looking at the light blue sky with white clouds in the distance, Liu Kai can basically determine what the planes on the route are coming from.
It is no wonder that the other planes on the route were emptied, and it seemed that the one that flew all the way to Beijing along the route accompanied by two fighter planes was a special plane for foreign affairs visits from Burma.
……
Facing the bright afternoon sunshine, two huge blue-and-white fighters passed through the air at an altitude of several thousand meters, leaving two shallow white tracks behind them.
On the side of the training airspace where they were located, on a straight route just a few tens of kilometers away, a "Gulfstream" G650 business plane with backward wings and a slender body and a posture like a swift in the sky was flying smoothly at a speed of 700 kilometers per hour. In the nearby sky, there are two J-20 "Weilong" flying with one left and one right, which are not quite the same as the fighters of ordinary combat units, and these two "Weilong" fighters with gray gradient paint are sprayed with the "Bayi" aircraft emblem with gold edges on a red background, which looks exceptionally bright under the reflection of the setting sun, and even people with average eyesight can see it very clearly on the plane under escort.
It is clear that the two fighters did not come from the front-line troops, but were specially prepared for foreign affairs, so the low-visibility livery scheme was not used.
Like the "Gulfstream" G650 in the sky in front of it, it maintained a speed of 800 kilometers, and the tail vents of the two stout fighters were only slightly brightened; Obviously, thanks to the higher thrust-to-weight ratio and aerodynamic design of the whole aircraft, the J-20 is no longer the same as its predecessors, and needs to turn on part of the afterburner to keep up with the "Gulfstream" in a high-speed cruising state.
At this moment, in the sight of the pilots of the escort fighters, the outline of the "Gulfstream" G650 flying with its back to the sun in front is also very clear, and the bright emblem on the tail of the aircraft can be seen very clearly; After receiving the air situation report from the ground command station, Major Li Wenyang, the pilot of the No. 01 escort plane, raised his hand and clicked the button, mobilized the 1493 radar on board to scan the airspace in front of him again, and soon reconfirmed the IFF signals of the two friendly fighters, and he immediately responded to the ground:
"Report 'Tower Hill', report 'Tower Hill', the information on the air target has been refreshed, and no suspicious targets have been found in the nearby airspace. At present, the task situation is normal, repeat, and the task situation is normal, and it is completed. (To be continued......)
