Chapter 49 Six hundred kilometers per hour
These days passed so fast, a few days later, in the Eighth Route Army's Motianling Arsenal, the first flight of the Fury fighter was ushered in.
You must know that this fighter is the first fighter of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time, it is also the fastest flying fighter in the world and the most powerful fighter with firepower.
Therefore, this first flight is of great significance, and it is also necessary to draw a strong stroke in the history of aviation, for which several leaders of the Eighth Route Army have been waiting in the arsenal, and they have conducted an in-depth investigation of the entire arsenal in the past few days.
I don't know if I don't know this deeply, my own arsenal is so powerful, there is nothing that can be compared in China, not to mention the Chang'an Arsenal or something, it can't be compared to Motianling.
After all, it can not only make airplanes, but also tanks and artillery, and it is almost an all-powerful weapons manufacturing base.
Today's first flight, of course, was completed by Duan Yunpeng himself, so this is also a very risky thing, but if others come, he is not very relieved, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army, on the one hand, they are worried that if something happens, if Duan Yunpeng is gone, then it will be impossible for this arsenal to continue to create new weapons like it is now, but if others come to fly, it is not good to fail.
So in the end, it was decided that Duan Yunpeng would fly, and Li Yunlong would take a rotorcraft to fly with him and observe, but this time he was fully prepared.
A leader shook Duan Yunpeng's hand and said: "Comrade Duan Yunpeng, you have worked hard, we all wish you the success of your first flight in our hearts, open a new chapter for the aviation cause of our Eighth Route Army, and contribute to the victory of our Anti-Japanese War." This first flight is extremely risky, you must be careful, no matter what, it is important to save your life, if the plane is gone, it will be gone, understand? ”
Duan Yunpeng nodded and said: "Yes, leader, I will definitely keep it in mind, please rest assured, today's first flight, I am completely sure, there will be no problem, you just watch my performance 1"
Although Duan Yunpeng is full of confidence, everyone is still a little worried, after all, this Fury fighter is different from the Falcon gyroplane, its speed is so fast, and it is not as safe as the Falcon rotorcraft, so this test flight is indeed full of risks.
The Fury Fighter is dressed in dark green paint, but now under the nose of this plane, it is painted with the pattern of a fire phoenix, which looks very beautiful.
The anger of the fire phoenix, the little devil can't bear it, this implication is very good, after the karmic fury fighter is put into service, it will definitely win.
The ground crew had already refueled and inspected the whole aircraft, and there would be basically no problems with this test flight.
But Duan Yunpeng still rechecked the whole plane, this work is very necessary, and it will be done in the future, the pilot has to hand over to the ground staff, and after signing and confirming, Duan Yunpeng boarded the plane.
The cockpit of the Fury fighter is in the middle of the fuselage, which is different from the later jet fighters, it is a rear three-point landing gear, and the nose is raised at a certain angle, so that the propeller is not easy to touch the ground.
After turning on the power and checking the instrument system, Duan Yunpeng was ready to fly, first closing the cockpit canopy, and then starting the engine.
The power of this aviation piston engine is very large, 1,000 horsepower, and when it roars at this time, it is also like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, which is very shocking.
Loosen the brakes and push the throttle valve, Duan Yunpeng's operation was very skillful, and the fighter began to slide out slowly and came to the runway.
Although this runway is said to be a dirt runway, it is very smooth and has been tamped.
Li Yunlong also got on a Falcon gyroplane, and now they are the first to take off.
With the launch of the Falcon rotorcraft, Duan Yunpeng also began to release the brakes and drove the fighter plane to slide and run.
From the air, the Fury fighter is like an arrow off the string, getting faster and faster.
On the ground, the leaders and the big guys are very nervous, and now they don't know if they can take off successfully.
I saw the Fury fighter, after taxiing for more than 200 meters, it pulled up, and the fighter quickly rose into the air, getting rid of the shackles of the ground, and it really looked like a phoenix with anger.
The people on the ground applauded and cheered, this take-off was really spectacular, very beautiful, clean and neat.
No one thought that Duan Yunpeng could not only design an airplane, but also fly it to complete the first flight mission.
This is a historic moment, a great progress in the history of human aviation, and an important stroke in the history of the Eighth Route Army.
Since then, the Eighth Route Army has had its own fighters.
The Fury fighter flew faster and faster, and now the Falcon gyroplane could no longer catch up with it, so it could only hover at low altitude and wait for it to return.
Duan Yunpeng piloted the Fury fighter and quickly climbed to an altitude of seven thousand meters, which is not something that a gyroplane can reach, so from the air, the Falcon gyroplane is like a mosquito, and the people on the ground can't see it.
Duan Yunpeng piloted the fighter and began to accelerate in level flight, now the engine has not burst out of the maximum power, as the throttle increases, the speed of the aircraft continues to rise, and soon this Fury fighter flew to 600 kilometers per hour, Duan Yunpeng was also excited when he saw it, such a fast speed, even if it is a devil's Zero fighter, it can't be compared, after all, the fastest speed of the Zero is only 530 kilometers per hour, which is more than 100 worse than the Fury.
Don't worry at all, how to deal with it in the future, in addition to speed, Fury also has better maneuverability, more powerful firepower, even if it is a pair of two, it will not fall behind.
The flight is very refreshing, but the amount of fuel is not enough to go on, after all, it is the first flight, and the fuel is not filled, only enough to fly for half an hour, so Duan Yunpeng had to return.
Now that he flew back in the Fury fighter, everyone looked up at the sky, only to see the Fury fighter roaring over the runway, only fifty meters high, whistling past.
This is a low-altitude all-field flight performance, it looks like flying very easily, everyone is very excited, this is the first time to see such a test flight.
After completing the first flight mission, Duan Yunpeng piloted the Fury fighter, aimed at the runway, slowly descended, and began to land, because of its slow speed, the landing looked very easy, the fighter slowed down and taxied to the tarmac, and the first flight was a complete success.
Everyone surrounded them, and the leaders also stepped forward, and when Duan Yunpeng just came down, he received everyone's congratulations.
A leader of the Eighth Route Army shook Duan Yunpeng's hand and said: "Comrade Duan Yunpeng, congratulations, you have achieved the success of Kui Fei, you are our pride, and then I hope you will complete the test flight task as soon as possible, so that the Fury fighter can be equipped with aviation troops as soon as possible to fight little devils!" ”
Duan Yunpeng's eyes were also red: "Yes, we will!" ”
This test flight can be said to be very successful, and there is a lot of work to follow.
