As soon as the plane landed, it was warmly welcomed by the local people.

You must know that this maiden ceremony has received a lot of attention, so this time I came to the southwest region, and it was also very lively.

After staying for two days, Duan Yunpeng and Li Yunlong took a C47 transport plane and returned to the Eighth Route Army Aircraft Factory, because there was still a lot of work to be done.

Zhang Xia is going to fly a helicopter instead, and this is her second attempt.

If successful, she will become the first female helicopter pilot in China and the first in the world.

Now the test flight of the Dragonfly helicopter is nearing completion, and it will not be long before two will be delivered to the aviation group.

So this time Zhang Xia changed to fly a helicopter, and Duan Yunpeng personally taught her.

From a transport aircraft bomber to a helicopter pilot, this span is still very large, so when Duan Yunpeng and Zhang Xia came to the test flight site today, everyone was very curious.

Both of them put on new helicopter flight suits, and before boarding, Duan Yunpeng taught Zhang Xia all the knowledge of flying helicopters.

Now they came to the Dragonfly helicopter, this helicopter is really not small, after all, it is a 4.5-ton helicopter, if it is a few decades later, it can only be regarded as light, but now it is a big guy. After all, heavy fighters are only four or five tons.

Zhang Xia was very excited, because this time she was going to fly a helicopter, which was a new flying machine, and Duan Yunpeng taught her by hand, so how could she not be excited.

Duan Yunpeng said loudly: "Comrade Zhang Xia, now start checking the body. ”

Zhang Xia stood up and saluted: "Okay! ”

After saying that, she began to walk around the helicopter, checked the state of the airframe, and if there was a problem, it could not take off, and let the ground crew deal with it.

Of course, this situation is extremely rare, after all, in that case, it means that the ground work has not been done well.

After the inspection was completed, Zhang Xia walked up to Duan Yunpeng, raised her head and chest, and said loudly: "Report to Comrade Instructor, the helicopter inspection is complete, everything is normal!" ”

Duan Yunpeng smiled: "Very good, then board the plane!" ”

The two entered the cockpit of the Dragonfly helicopter and sat side by side.

The front windshield of the Dragonfly helicopter is like the two big eyes of the dragonfly, and the view is still very good.

Zhang Xia sat in the main pilot's seat, only to feel that her whole body was a little hot, and this time it was Duan Yunpeng who personally taught her to fly a helicopter.

She followed Duan Yunpeng's instructions and started to work, turned on the power switch, and checked after turning on the power, the instrument was normal.

The next step is to start the engine.

With the smooth start of the two turboshaft engines, the roar was very shocking at this time, and after the rotors rotated, the noise was also relatively loud, and they all wore headphones.

Zhang Xia is still a very fast learner, but sometimes she still needs Duan Yunpeng's hand-in-hand teaching.

Now that she was ready to take off, Duan Yunpeng was also worried that Zhang Xia would not operate well, so she covered her small hand with her big hand, and both of them held the joystick in their hands.

This made Zhang Xia ashamed, and her face turned red.

Duan Yunpeng had to remind: "Comrade Zhang Xia, increase your attention, this is flying a plane, not a joke!" ”

Zhang Xia also knew that helicopter piloting might be more complicated and dangerous, so now she didn't dare to be careless, didn't dare to think nonsense, and pulled the lever while listening to Duan Yunpeng's instructions.

The Dragonfly helicopter finally slowly left the ground and began to climb high into the air.

Now Zhang Xia is so happy, I just feel that this test flight is really great, and there is even a romantic romance.

Duan Yunpeng's hand-to-hand teaching is indeed very powerful, and after a while, Zhang Xia will be able to control it freely.

Duan Yunpeng was also very happy that the first female helicopter pilot had been trained.

Zhang Xia piloted the Dragonfly helicopter and completed a series of flight training actions in the air, and even Duan Yunpeng was surprised, because her every movement was too perfect and accurate! It seems that Zhang Xia does have a very talented female pilot.

Thirty minutes later, the first flight training ended, Zhang Xia completed the landing under the guidance of Duan Yunpeng, and when the helicopter stopped steadily in the circle, the ground crew applauded.

A few days later, Dragonfly Helicopters had an important moment for its first delivery.

The two Dragonfly helicopters delivered to the aviation brigade this time are mainly used to train and train helicopter pilots.

Today, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army are coming, as well as reporters.

Therefore, at the delivery ceremony, it was also very lively and festive, just like the New Year.

Duan Yunpeng took the big guys and waited there for a long time for the leaders of the Eighth Route Army.

When the leaders came to the scene, they really laughed when they saw two beautiful dragonfly helicopters with dark green paint.

These two helicopters are really not small, after all, one can seat fourteen people.

Whether it's for flight training, or transporting personnel, or carrying supplies, reconnaissance or something is very good.

And you only need to install pylons on both sides, and you can also turn it into a gunship, and of course, in the cabin, you can also set up a machine gun to strafe the ground.

Duan Yunpeng and the leaders chatted happily and walked to the VIP seat.

Then the handover ceremony begins.

First of all, the leader made an important speech.

The leader said happily: "Comrades, today is a happy day for our Eighth Route Army, and our first batch of dragonfly helicopters will finally be delivered to the troops. This is a great historical moment, because the Dragonfly helicopter is the world's first truly practical helicopter, its service will bring a new era, in the future we will have more helicopters, of course we will not have a lot of equipment, but we are going to sell to the Allies and make our contribution to the victory of the war against France! ”

Immediately, the audience applauded, and everyone was very proud that the world's first helicopter was made by the Eighth Route Army.

Next is the leaders, cutting the ribbon for the two helicopters.

Finally, everyone stood in front of the two helicopters and took a group photo.

The delivery ceremony was a success, followed by the helicopter pilots of the aviation brigade, who boarded the plane, piloted two helicopters, and soon took to the skies to perform for the leaders.

The helicopter show is still very interesting, especially the leaders have not seen it yet.

So whether it is hovering, or flying upside down, it has opened the eyes of the leaders, I can't imagine that the helicopter is so flexible, it is indeed more flexible than all the planes now, it is really as flexible as a dragonfly.

Such a good aircraft must be built more, and it will definitely play an important role on the battlefield.

The leaders also instructed Duan Yunpeng to prepare for mass production, because the allies were still waiting for it.
