Chapter 118: The Eighth Route Army Aviation Ace Pilot Competition
The Yimeng turbofan engine, after the end of the test run, was disassembled and inspected, and the results were satisfactory, the engine was not damaged, and it seems that the design and manufacturing process were successful.
Its total life can meet the design standard, that is, 500 hours.
You must know that China's aviation industry only completed this indicator in the eighties, when the turbojet seven engine was improved, the total life reached 500 hours, and before that, the life of the domestic turbojet engine was only 300 hours.
With the continuous emergence of new fighters, the aviation units of the Eighth Route Army are also conducting large-scale training at this time, and at the same time, they are also going to have a big competition.
This is also what Duan Yunpeng saw in his previous life, the air forces of all countries want to engage in such competitions, such as the Chinese Air Force, which has a golden helmet competition.
This time, Duan Yunpeng wanted to let all the fighter pilots of the Eighth Route Army compare with each other so as to sum up better tactics.
It is already late autumn and the weather is starting to get colder, but for the Eighth Route Army aviation, training is still in full swing.
In particular, the equipment of the fierce fire fighter has given the Eighth Route Army aviation more advanced equipment, and of course, the jet attack aircraft Wild Boar, which is in test flight, is also new equipment and also needs a lot of training.
This time, not only Li Yunlong is going to participate in the competition, but even Duan Yunpeng is also going to participate.
It can be said that this is a comprehensive test, and the pilots are thinking that it would be good if they could defeat the teacher, after all, they were all taught by Duan Yunpeng.
Today is the first day of the competition, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army are here, such an important competition, of course, the leaders have to come to witness it, and at the beginning of the competition, the leaders also made important speeches, and also put forward some requirements for the pilots.
This competition will determine ten ace pilots, and there will also be a confrontation before the alien aircraft, and you can even fly the Fury fighter to face the Boar attack aircraft.
This is also to hone the tactics of war, so it will definitely be exciting when the time comes.
The first competition is the Fury Fighter, against the Fierce Fire Fighter, one of them is medium and the other is heavy, in terms of performance, it must be the Fierce Fire Fighter is stronger.
But this is not absolute, it depends on the tactics and skills of the pilot.
After all, they are all propeller fighters and belong to a generation, and as for using fierce fire fighters against Boar attack aircraft, it is really a cross-generation.
But this is not absolute, for example, in the history of aviation, there are pilots of the Pakistani Air Force who flew the J-6 fighter to shoot down the F4 Phantom fighter, which is the first generation of aircraft shot down the second generation aircraft.
Now the competition is a simulated air battle, so it can't be shot live, so it still depends on the director's decision, the most important thing is to lock the opponent, as long as it can be locked for more than 15 seconds in a row, it will be shot down.
Because usually in such a situation, with the firepower of aircraft such as Fury fighters, as long as they fire, they will definitely be able to shoot down the opponent.
Pilots who are locked down have to rely on technology to get out of lockdown, which is also very difficult.
Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Comrade Duan Yunpeng, do you think there is a newcomer who wins this time?" ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "There will definitely be, so you have to be careful, don't capsize in the gutter, then your ace pilot name will be gone!" ”
Li Yunlong smiled: "Impossible, unless I made a mistake." The rookies almost beat me! ”
The first competition was a four-on-four contest, in which four pilots, including Li Yunlong and Duan Yunpeng, flew four Fury fighters to meet the fierce fire heavy fighters piloted by four novice pilots.
This competition is very attractive to the leaders, because in terms of performance, the fierce fire fighter must be much stronger, after all, the engine is more advanced, and the power is much greater, and the flight speed is also faster.
But what about the Fury fighter, it is light and flexible, so it depends on the pilot's performance.
Now that the two sides have begun to board the plane, Duan Yunpeng and Li Yunlong are going to fight side by side again.
The leaders are now talking about it.
A leader said with a smile: "I think this time it is Li Yunlong and they want to win, after all, this tactical technology is not a level, even if the plane is almost there, I think it can easily win!" ”
Another leader smiled: "I think it is possible for novice pilots to win, after all, the performance gap of this fighter is still a bit big!" Generally speaking, it must be a heavy machine, after all, the theory of energy maneuvering says so. “
Now the leaders have also studied the energy maneuver theory written by Duan Yunpeng, which is the most important theory in air combat.
The so-called energy maneuver theory is that a fighter with higher energy usually wins because it can occupy the high ground faster.
The leaders had different opinions, and at this time, Duan Yunpeng and the others had already begun to taxi onto the runway.
One fighter after another took to the skies, and this time it was a special-shaped aircraft confrontation, so it was even more interesting.
The take-off weight of the Fury fighter is half that of a piston engine.
But what about the fierce fire fighter, it is a turboprop engine, and the power is 60 percent higher.
Soon, the two sides met in the air.
At this time, it depends on the performance of the pilot.
Fighters on both sides began to climb, ready to seize the high ground.
However, in terms of speed and climb rate, it is definitely the fierce fire fighter that has the advantage, after all, it is a heavy aircraft, and its speed is about ten percent faster.
The novice pilots, all remembering the theories they had learned, had succeeded in seizing the high ground, and they began to dive down and pounce on their teachers and brothers.
Now, of course, you can't go into hedging, so you will decide that both sides are shot down by each other.
So that's when the old birds have to change their tactics.
Duan Yunpeng piloted a Fury fighter and began to turn sideways, avoiding the onslaught of the novice pilot.
Due to the small and nimble nature of the Fury fighter, the novice pilot did not succeed in this first round and dived directly to the front.
Duan Yunpeng seized the opportunity and accelerated his climb, and now he wants to occupy the commanding heights and bite the opponent's tail so that he can win the victory.
I saw the fighters in the sky, and they began to chase each other. It was very exciting, and the leaders applauded one after another.
Duan Yunpeng quickly won the victory, and he deserved to be the teacher of the trump card.
Although it is said that he won the victory, for Duan Yunpeng, it is just an appetizer.
The failed novice pilot is probably very depressed, who let him face Duan Yunpeng.
And the pilot who faced Li Yunlong was also unsuccessful, and was bitten by Li Yunlong in turn, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Two Fierce Fire fighters, because the pilots were indeed a little more clever, they succeeded and shot down the old bird.
The first competition was so exciting, the leaders were overjoyed, and this time it was really interesting.
