Chapter 149: Goodbye 'Big' Plane
Cui Tianzhi is very optimistic about the prospects of this kind of aircraft, and he also cherishes the only aircraft in his hands now.
Just like in the recent past, the plane that was close to the timeline of the overhaul, he was reluctant to fly it.
After receiving Cui Tianzhi's invitation, he packed his things, explained to his family, and went out the next day.
He drove towards the Quancheng base, which was more than 100 kilometers away, and after arriving near the base, he contacted the person and someone came to pick him up and take him to the base.
Got to the base, didn't go anywhere else, went straight to the hangar where the plane was located.
In this hangar, after more than half a year, he finally saw the plane he made again.
And the plane in front of him, after leaving his sight, has changed a lot,
First of all, the most intuitive thing is the painting, the aircraft at the moment is a high-grade gray as a whole, and the Bayi emblem is also sprayed on it.
The paint color was very similar to Veyron's, and he guessed that it might be Veyron's paint.
In addition, the most conspicuous are the four pylons under the wings of the aircraft.
On the wing, which was originally very beautiful, there were four more protrusions,
This is abrupt and it is not known if it affects the deployment and retraction of the variable sweep wing.
The plane at this moment was so familiar to him, but it was a little unfamiliar.
It's like your own child went to college in another place, and when you come back in half a year, when you see your child again,
I know that this is my cub, but that kind of change makes you dare not recognize it.
Just as he was standing in front of the plane, still carefully observing, Cui Tianzhi walked in from outside the hangar.
When I entered the hangar, I saw Li Zhenhua next to the plane and walked directly to him.
"What's the matter, this plane is mighty now, don't you see it's quiet when it stops here now,
When he hangs up the missile and flies in the sky, it can make the restless neighbors around him quiet.
We're okay with the modification of the aircraft! ”
As if to show off, Cui Tianzhi was still pointing to the pylons under the wings when he said to him.
He didn't answer Cui Tianzhi's words, but took a few steps closer to the plane, intending to take a closer look.
"Chief Cui, don't talk yet, let me take a look first!"
Then I looked around the plane, and I paid special attention to the pylons under the wings.
At this time, he also took the initiative to use the Eye of Analysis, and immediately the various data of the plane were displayed on the virtual screen in front of him.
Yes, it is the active use, in the past half a year, the analytical eye has not been upgraded, but he can take the initiative to master this ability,
When he wants to analyze something, the data of the analyzed object will be revealed, and in normal times, his eyes are the same as those of ordinary people.
Looking at the various data of the plane, it shows the time when the engine is running, and the unreasonable places on the plane are also marked in red.
Looking at the missile pylons marked in red, and then looking back at Cui Tianzhi, the expression on his face said it all.
After watching the plane, he returned to Cui Tianzhi's side.
"Chief Cui, look at this circle,
I'll be honest, this modification is rubbish, don't blame me for being straight,
This is the case, and it is irrefutable. ”
When he said this, Cui Tianzhi was still showing off, and the expression on his face immediately collapsed.
"Xiao Li, how can you say that, maybe the modification does not meet your aesthetics and your wishes,
But we have increased the practicality, we use it very well, this is a good modification, how can it be said that the modification is rubbish! ”
Faced with his words, Cui Tianzhi was also anxious, didn't he deny everything he had before?
He did not admit this statement, anyway, after hanging the missile, the plane had force.
"Chief Cui, don't worry, listen to me explain to you slowly,
Let's start with the problem of pylons, which is the biggest problem,
The pylons were placed on the wings, which is wrong in the first place, and should have been placed on the receiver and on the belly,
This does not affect the variable swept wing, which is the first point.
The second is the external missile pylon, which directly affects the stealth effect of the aircraft as a whole.
You must know that this is an aircraft with a good stealth effect, and with the addition of stealth paint,
But now this external hanger really makes me disagree. ”
Cui Tianzhi was still full of confidence, but when he said these two words, he immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant.
Doesn't he know these things? Of course, he knew that it was simply not something they could achieve by making the aircraft combat effective without affecting the original structure of the aircraft.
This kind of modification is just their current expediency.
Why did Li Zhenhua call here this time, not only because the plane was about to be overhauled,
also because I wanted him to design the weapon system of the aircraft.
"Xiao Li, I know what you said, but ours can only go so far,
If you continue to improve, it can be done by you.
So this time I'm asking you to come, not only to overhaul the plane and give you flight data.
The main thing is to explain the problems we are encountering now to you clearly, so that you have a bottom, and hope that in the follow-up improvements, the problem will be solved! ”
Cui Tianzhi bluntly stated his purpose, and Li Zhenhua was also listening carefully to what he said.
Then the two sat on the side of the plane in the hangar and discussed the current problem of the aircraft.
Cui Tianzhi also told him about the experience of using the aircraft collected by their pilots in the past six months, and explained all the problems to him clearly.
Through his narration, he also knew some of the problems that airplanes are facing now.
These problems are inevitable, because in the beginning the aircraft was not designed as a fighter.
"Chief Cui, I know all the problems you said.
In fact, these problems will appear sooner or later, and they will inevitably appear, you should know the background of this aircraft,
Is there only one purpose for the production of this aircraft, which is my own big toy?
At first, I called it a model airplane, but then after you, it became a fighter.
This was decided from the beginning, and he was not suitable for use as a fighter at all.
In terms of usefulness, the only thing desirable is that he can be used as an unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft, and it is not appropriate to put other burdens on it! ”
The conversation between the two also defined the nature of this plane, and he was not suitable as a fighter.
"So what to do, it's a pity that such an aircraft with excellent performance can't be used as a fighter.
Xiao Li, think about it, our Air Force really needs this style of aircraft! ”
As for Cui Tianzhi's last words that could be regarded as pleading, he did not answer immediately, but fell into deep contemplation.
The ceiling of this aircraft is there, even if it is refitted, from the beginning of its design concept, there is this huge difference.
And Chief Cui needs such a fighter, so what can I do?
I can rebuild an airplane, from the design concept from the direction of the fighter,
Pull out a real fighter, not a fighter from the perspective of a model aircraft. ’
After figuring out what he could do, he was also a little excited in his heart, this is a fighter, which is different from the previous model aircraft.
Everything is made for war, not from playability.
At this time, he was also full of admiration for Minister Wang of the Equipment Development Department, and he was really prescient and solved his qualification problem first.
"I think we should redesign an aircraft that meets your operational needs according to your needs.
As for this plane, the foundation is there, there is not much room for modification, so there is no need to waste energy.
Chief, I promise you, when I go back, I'll get a new plane that meets your needs.
And I'm going to help you first this time, and overhaul the current plane, at least to get him moving, right? ”
After Cui Tianzhi heard these words at this moment, his heart blossomed, and it seemed that there would be a new plane to drive in the future.
What he originally wanted was to let Li Zhenhua carry out a deep transformation of the current aircraft.
But the final effect was a surprise, and the other party directly agreed to redesign, or from a combat point of view, which was a surprise.
"Okay, okay, it's so much in line with my heart, then I won't think about anything else, now let's go overhaul this plane?"
"Well, for the overhaul, you don't have any equipment here, Chief Cui, you let your pilot fly the plane to Hongdu,
I also went to Hongdu to overhaul the plane, and all the conditions there met. ”
The plane, which had flown for 872 hours, was once again pushed out of the hangar, returned to the blue sky, and flew towards Hongdu.
And he also said goodbye to Cui Tianzhi, left the base and drove towards the airport.
When I came to the airport, I found the front desk and got my ticket, and I didn't wait long, and I was taken directly to the plane I was going to take.
The shuttle bus drove him to a flying boat with the words Higashiyama Airlines painted on it.
Yes, this is a new business launched by Dongshan Airlines, private jet tickets, the price is fifty percent more expensive than first class,
This new business is also known as the air taxi business, and it is the city of camel countries that you learn from.
This business provides great convenience for people with conditions, who can come and go at any time.
Sitting on a flying boat and rushing to Hongdu, the pilot of the plane could not have imagined that the designer of the engine of the plane he was flying was sitting in the back.
And when he took off, on the runway of the Quancheng base, his plane was also taxiing quickly on the runway.
When the plane rose into the air, the speed of the plane immediately broke through the speed of sound, and it was flying towards Hongdu at a speed of Mach 1.3.
And Li Zhenhua's flying boat, in contrast, is slowly rushing to Hongdu.
By the time the plane he built had landed at the Hongdu test flight site, he was still flying in the sky.
