Chapter 124: The First Flight of the Wild Boar Attack Aircraft
In September, when the eagle was flying, another major event happened at the Eighth Route Army Aircraft Factory, that is, the first flight ceremony of the wild boar attack plane was about to be held.
The first flight of the Boar attack aircraft attracted much attention, because the Allies were waiting to equip this advanced jet attack aircraft.
The Wild Boar attack aircraft is the most advanced attack aircraft in the world, and it is also the first real jet attack aircraft, so its first flight, that must have attracted much attention.
In addition to the representatives of the Allied Forces, there are also high-level officials of the Chinese Air Force and leaders of the Eighth Route Army.
On the tarmac, a wild boar attack aircraft is surrounded by a group of ground crew, you must know that the jet aircraft, its maintenance must be more complicated, so now the ground crew to do the inspection preparations, that is quite critical, because this is the first flight, if there is a little problem, it may lead to serious consequences, if it crashes, the loss is very large.
A wild boar attack aircraft is worth 700,000 US dollars, more expensive than a B29 long-range bomber, of course, it is indeed worth this price, it is invincible on the battlefield, no matter what the ground target, it can easily handle, and if it is an air combat it can also crush all the propeller aircraft, after all, its speed, ceiling are there, and the firepower is extremely powerful, 30 mm Gatling cannon, tanks can be exploded, and what fighters can stop.
Reporters are picking up their cameras one after another, taking pictures of this strange-looking jet, indeed the shape of the wild boar attack aircraft is a bit strange, it is indeed the same as its name, like a ferocious wild boar, with long fangs, the Gatling cannon is its fangs.
Of course, the wild boar also has a strong body, like a tank, the wild boar in the wild because of the long-term rubbing of the pine tree, covered with grease, so its skin is as hard as armor, which is also in line with the characteristics of the wild boar attack aircraft, its armor protection ability is indeed unattainable by all aircraft in the world at present, and the key parts can withstand the blow of the 30 mm cannon.
The two engines of the Boar attack aircraft, mounted on the back of the tail section with four vertical tails, are very unique in design.
Of course, it's a jet attack aircraft, so it's not surprising that it looks weird, but the audience is still talking about it.
Duan Peng was smiling, greeting the leaders and guests who came to participate in the first flight ceremony, of course he was very confident in the first flight, after all, the wild boar attack aircraft was made with the help of the system, and he believed that there would be no problems with the system.
The Boar attack aircraft was indeed very powerful in this era, it was equipped with two turbofan engines, note that it was a turbofan engine, which suddenly reached the technical level of the fifties, and these two turbofan engines, each of which had a thrust of fifty thousand N.
The two add up to more than ten tons of thrust, which is also very good for a fighter with a maximum take-off weight of 20 tons, and the thrust-to-weight ratio reaches 0.5.
Like a general passenger aircraft or transport aircraft, the thrust-to-weight ratio is very high, of course, this is an attack aircraft, so its thrust-to-weight ratio will be higher.
Because there is no afterburner thrust, in fact, its thrust-to-weight ratio is higher than that of many third-generation aircraft.
For example, the F16 fighter, which is equipped with an engine with afterburner, if you do not turn on the afterburner, the thrust is only more than 70,000 N, which is not as good as the Boar attack aircraft.
So the power of the Boar attack aircraft is quite abundant, even a little extravagant, wasted.
The leaders of the Eighth Route Army, accompanied by the representatives of the Allied forces, smiled happily when they saw the murderous appearance of the wild boar attack plane.
Indeed, it will not be long before they can get this most advanced jet fighter in the world, and with it, neither the little devils nor the German army will be opponents.
Even if the ME262 fighter is equipped by the German army now, it is useless, it will definitely not be able to defeat the Boar attack aircraft, the two are not at the same level.
Now the preparations for the first flight are basically ready, and it will be an exciting time soon.
I saw that the wild boar attack plane on the tarmac has now been refueled, the fuel truck has also left, and the ground crew has begun to evacuate.
The test pilot came to the cockpit of the attack aircraft, and he began to start the engine.
These two turbofan engines are indeed too shocking, the roar they emit is different from that of the propeller, and the heat flame at the tail makes the surrounding air deformed.
The test pilot released the brakes, and the Boar attack aircraft slid off the tarmac and taxied along the taxiway towards the runway.
The leaders were still talking to each other, and Duan Peng was also briefing them on the situation, and during the taxiing test, the wild boar attack plane simulated taking off, but it didn't leave the ground.
Therefore, the test pilot is also very confident, and the operation of the Wild Boar attack aircraft is not complicated, in fact, it is similar to the previous turboprop aircraft.
Coming to the runway, the Boar attack aircraft stopped, at this time the test pilot began to check its control system, the rudder surface was constantly moving, after the inspection was completed, the test pilot increased the throttle, the Boar attack aircraft roared, towards the end of the runway to accelerate taxi.
After taxiing for about six or seven hundred meters, the Boar attack aircraft finally raised its nose and took off successfully.
Its posture is so handsome, this is an aircraft without a propeller, and reporters have pointed their cameras at the wild boar attack aircraft in the air.
The leaders of the Eighth Route Army were smiling quite happily, this wild boar attack plane is a fortune opportunity for the Eighth Route Army in the future, one will sell for 700,000 US dollars, at least 100,000 US dollars, and the profit from selling 1,000 will be hundreds of millions of dollars.
The Wild Boar attack aircraft also climbed very quickly, more than twice as fast as the propeller plane, and when it entered an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, it began to make various flights over the airfield.
It quickly reached speeds of seven hundred kilometers per hour, which was very effortless, the reliability of the engines was high, and both engines were running reliably.
When it swept in front of the viewing platform at a low altitude, it brought up a puff of wind and dust, and the leaders applauded one after another, this is indeed a satisfactory fighter.
The Boar Attack Aircraft flies very cheerfully, and it is quite agile whether it is climbing or circling, which is a bit different from its appearance.
After about 35 minutes of flight, the Boar attack plane successfully completed its first flight and began to land.
At this time, the risk is relatively large, but the aerodynamics of the wild boar attack aircraft are very good, and the operation is simple, so its landing is also quite smooth.
Today's first flight was a complete success, and the whole scene became a sea of joy!
