Chapter 551: Full Costume Change (Medium)
It's late, sorry
........................................................................
Aircraft carrier Shanghai.
"Be careful, loosen the four restraint nuts over there......"
"Driving, driving...... Hang the lid up. ”
"Be careful! Don't touch the rear wing!"
"Airspeed tube, airspeed tube...... It's almost the airspeed tube, are you drunk?"
Pilots and ground crews were busy disassembling the boxes one by one, and then carefully moving the planes inside. It is then tested and debugged by engineers and pilots. By evening, 68 new aircraft were taken out of the boxes, which were four squadrons of carrier-based aircraft plus four spare aircraft.
There are only two types of these aircraft, both of which are two-seat, twin-engine, twin-tail, jet fighters, with the difference being that one is a variable sweep wing with a vertical tail, and the other is a conventional sweep wing with a double vertical tail tilted in a figure-eight angle. If future generations of military fans saw it, they would definitely exclaim: "Big cat, big cat, big cat!", "Plastic bug!"
This is HNA's new generation of carrier-based aircraft, J-13 "Sea Eagle" and J-14 "Bobtail Eagle". Indeed, they resemble the Proto-Spacetime F-14D Tomcat and F/A-18E/F Ultra Giant Wasp. But if you look closely, the difference is quite large. For example, the "Sea Eagle" and "Bobtail Eagle" in front of you both adopt a wing-body fusion design, the transition between the wing and the fuselage is more sleek, and the shape of the air intakes is also very different. For example, the leading edge of the wing of the "Bobtail Eagle" has a larger area than that of the "Super Giant Wasp", and the transition to the fuselage has been changed from an outer arc to an inner arc, so the mammoth looks more like a ****** than a swept wing. For another example, the shape of the "Sea Hawk" is not so much that it looks like an F-14, but it is more similar to the VF-1 in the later animated film "Macross Fortress".
There are many more things that cannot be seen, such as the avionics system and fire control system, as well as the generators, which are very different from the prototype. In short, the prototypes of these two aircraft are indeed F-14D "Tomcat" and F/A-18E/F "Super Giant Whornet", but a lot of optimization design has been carried out on the basis of the prototype, especially the avionics systems such as fire control and flight control, which can be said to be completely different.
The officers and men in the hangar all looked left and right around these planes, and discussed excitedly.
"Wow, this is the J-13 'Sea Eagle' and the J-14 'Bobtail Eagle', it's beautiful......"
"I've only seen ...... on simulators before"
"Is this the plane we are refitting this time? It looks so different from the snake catcher, the proto-owl, and the toucan!"
"I heard that this is the latest jet, which is more advanced than the golden eagle......"
"Not quite, according to the parameters in the manual, they are all better than the Golden Eagle in other performances, but the top speed is much worse, and the Golden Eagle can fly three times the speed of sound......"
"The use is different, the golden eagle is mainly used as a reconnaissance aircraft and interceptor, high-altitude and high-speed, our HNA is mainly in the middle and low altitude operations, the golden eagle is not very suitable for us. ”
"It's great, the guys in the Air Force used to show off their golden eagles all day long, and now our HNA finally has its own jet......
"The Golden Eagle is a second-generation jet, and this is the third. The engines are all different, this is a turbofan engine, and the Golden Eagle is a turbojet ......"
"Is a turbofan really better than a turbojet?"
"It's hard to say, turbofans are more fuel-efficient than turbojets, but the fastest speed is slower, mainly depending on the use. ”
Captain Huang Jiahui patted a sea eagle with a happy face, and said to the people around him: "Okay, I'll choose this plane number 29527, these numbers are my lucky numbers, don't rob me!" and said to a colonel next to him: "Commander Lu, what do you think......?
The corners of the flight commander's mouth twitched, and he said to the recorder next to him with a dark face: "Write it down, No. 29527 is assigned to the 82 Squadron ......"
"This one is mine!"
"I want this ......"
With Huang Jiahui at the beginning, other pilots rushed up and began to carve up the new aircraft according to the previously assigned models. Because this batch of two-seater aircraft, the original two-seater crew members are concentrated on one plane, generally the main engine pilot serves as the captain, and the wingman pilot serves as the equipment officer or fire control officer.
Huang Jiahui's group was that he was the captain and sat in the front to control the plane, and the original wingman pilot Second Lieutenant Chen Fan continued to be his partner and became his equipment officer, sitting in the back seat in charge of electronic equipment and fire control.
Subsequently, they found ground staff.
"Boss Liu, help paint the logo on my plane, well, this is the pattern......" Huang Jiahui smiled and handed out a circle of cigarettes to the ground crew, took out a piece of printing paper, and said to the fourth-level non-commissioned officer led by him.
"Oh, a little flower cat......" Master General Liu took the printer paper and looked at it, which was a cartoon version of a cat, leaning on a bomb and smiling. He nodded immediately and said, "Where to put it?"
"...... under the canopy"
"Okay, I'll get you ...... when I'm done."
According to the regulations of the Chinese army on this plane, pilots can add their own personality marks to the landline. Of course, the size and position of the mark, as well as the content, are all regulated, and you can't make it a "pain plane" like those people in the people, and you can use any pattern you want. For such a fighter, the size of the personality mark cannot exceed 15 * 15 cm, and the position cannot coincide with the military emblem and the unit mark of the wing or squadron, nor can it be a position that is easy to affect the identification.
As for the content, things like vulgar and detrimental to the image of the country and the army are naturally not allowed, and there are no hard and fast rules for anything else. Therefore, there are all kinds of personality marks, some pilots use traditional patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns; some show off their calligraphy and painting skills and use their own calligraphy and painting works as symbols; some people paint their girlfriends, wives, and family members; and even some people paint their surnames on the plane in a big way, just like the flags of ancient military generals.
There are also many cartoon patterns like Huang Jiahui, such as the pilot next to him, who chose a "roll away biplane" pattern as his mark.
..............................................................................
The next morning, the cafeteria.
A group of pilots chatted happily while eating breakfast.
As we all know, the food of the navy is very good, and the food of the pilots is also very good. In the whole army, probably only the officers and men on the submarine can compare with them, but the submariners can only enjoy it when they are docked, and when they are on duty under the sea in peacetime, they can only be generals.
For example, they now have more than 20 varieties of breakfast, steamed buns, noodles, porridge, fried dough sticks, pastries, and tofu brain...... Wait, there are all kinds of patterns in the south and north of the world, there are five or six kinds of buns alone, meat and vegetarian, steamed and fried, sweet and salty, you can find your favorite.
Huang Jiahui walked to the counter with a dinner plate and put the food, sandwiched two navy buns, that is, replaced the dumpling leaves with seaweed, and filled a large bowl of braised beef noodles, picked up a can of yogurt, and finally added two crab roe cakes.
He picked up his plate and walked to a nearby table and sat down, when he heard an old man next to him talking indignantly.
“...... Why is the Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures who "cut the flesh to feed the eagle" not the Virgin Mary but compassion? Because the Buddha cut his own flesh to feed the eagle. The Virgins are different, they cut other people's flesh to feed the eagles, and they ask others to shut up and not cry out in pain, and at the same time condemn those who cry out in pain: The eagles are going to starve to death, why don't you have compassion when you step on the horse?
Huang Jiahui glanced at it and found that it was Lieutenant Shen Xingxing of the 83rd Squadron, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior Brother Shen, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, Senior Brother Huang......" Shen Xingxing raised his head and greeted him, Huang Jiahui and he are both graduates of Qingdao HNA College, Huang Jiahui is two years earlier than him, so they are usually commensurate with senior brothers.
"We're talking about those damned virgins......" Shen Xingxing still had a look of anger on his face.
"What Virgin?" Huang Jiahui was confused.
A pilot next to him explained: "Well, it's the boring people of the Society of Our Lady, who actually declared in the newspaper that they want us to stop the war and save the people of Europe." Nima, whether the European people are dead or alive is our business, when those white-skinned guys came to China to cause trouble, why didn't they come out, and now a few white-skinned people have died, these people are like mourning and examining, they are really their ancestors!"
"Cut, they want to stop the war and save the people of Europe, so they go by themselves, and no one stops them......" Huang Jiahui said disapprehantly.
"That's right, if they go on their own, I won't say anything, this person has his own ambitions. But they actually asked our army to go to Europe, and asked us to go to Europe, just for their comfort, isn't this a trick? These guys are just using other people's lives to satisfy their cheap sense of moral superiority, and they are really lying down!" Shen Xingxing said angrily.
Huang Jiahui smiled: "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds." Hehe, don't be angry with this kind of person, they are just disgusting people, can they still have the ability to influence the government's decision-making?"
"These guys are like toads, they don't bite and disgust. I'm just disgusted!" Shen Xingxing viciously bit the donkey meat and burned it, as if he was biting the Virgin.
"It doesn't matter, if they jump harder, they should go to the labor camp. The last time the gang of dogs and girls who stopped a car to save their parents were not convicted of roadblock robbery, organized a criminal group, and obstructed traffic safety? It's the same with this kind of virgin, what Mr. Wen hates most is this kind of guy who endangers others under the guise of morality, hahahaha......" Huang Jiahui said lightly.
Someone said, "All right, all right, let's not talk about the Virgins." Let's talk about our new plane......"
The crowd soon began to discuss with great interest.
Although these two aircraft have just been officially installed, they are no strangers to current pilots, who have been exposed countless times on flight somatosensory simulators. It's just that at the beginning, they didn't know that this "video game character" was the plane they were going to fly, and they thought it was just a virtual model.
It wasn't until a few days ago that they learned that the new car they were going to change to was the same one they had been flying in flight simulator training for many years. It got them all excited for days. This is also a very normal thing, and at the level of a pilot, he is naturally unaware of the existence of these things.
That's right, Wen Desi has actually been preparing for the change of equipment for a long time, tanks, artillery, warships, and these things are fine, even if they change to a new model, it is easy to get started. But the plane is different, especially from the propeller to the jet, this change is too big, especially the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier. If you don't do it well, something big will definitely happen, and it will be light to drop the plane.
So, from 1936, the Trainer-4 "Big Magpie" jet trainer aircraft entered service. Although at this time, China only installed the only jet combat aircraft of the J-10 "Golden Eagle", and the number was not large, but this kind of training aircraft based on the original K-8 was installed in a large number of troops. For a time, the officers and men did not understand why the trainer planes were all jet-type, while the front-line fighters were still using propellers. At the same time, flight somatosensory simulators, which are specifically used for pilot training, have been upgraded to simulate jet operations.
In other words, in fact, these pilots have all flown jets, even if playing simulators is not really flying, but the trainer is a serious 800 aircraft. Moreover, in the past few years of training, they have also used the "big magpie" to carry out naval aviation subjects such as aircraft carrier take-off and landing.
..................................................................
Five days later, the East China Sea surfaced.
The sea, bathed in the glow of the rising sun, is boiling gold, and the golden waves are constantly surging with bright brilliance. The "Shuanghai" formation of the Shanghai and Qinghai is sailing in this golden ocean.
Soon, the two carriers turned headwind, increasing their speed to 33 knots, and the sea breeze blew blue waves, throwing salty droplets onto the decks, on which several new planes were parked ready to take off.
Huang Jiahui's landline has been placed on a catapult by ground staff, a twin-engine heavy fighter that is completely different from his previous car, and there is no way to take off on its own without using a catapult.
"Xiao Huang, is it okay?" the flight commander's voice sounded through the headphones.
Huang Jiahui replied without thinking: "No problem, ready to take off at any time." ”
The captain's voice also sounded: "Okay, follow the essentials you learned before, be careful." If the situation is not right, eject it quickly. People are more important than airplanes......"
"Captain, don't worry!" Huang Jiahui gave a thumbs up to the bridge and replied confidently.
At this time, the green signal light of "Allow takeoff" is illuminated, and the indicator light at the end of the catapult is also lit, indicating that the catapult is ready.
Huang Jiahui skillfully operated, turned on the instruments and displays related to take-off, and sighed: "It's exactly the same as the simulator, and even the feel is the same......"
"It seems that the top has been prepared for a long time, and the appearance on my side is exactly the same......" Second Lieutenant Chen Fan in the back seat was also saying something similar.
"Hoohoo Hoo ......" "Sea Hawk" let out a whistling and the engine started. Within ten seconds, the power was turned up to its maximum, and the vent in the tail of the fighter jet spewed out a scorching air current, which was then diverted to the sky by the flame shield behind it. Huang Jiahui immediately pulled the operating stick, unfolded the main wing to the maximum wingspan, transformed into a take-off and landing mode, and put the flaps and ailerons to the maximum, and then made a finished gesture to the ground crew.
The two take-off control officers squatted on the ground and made a "walk you" posture, Huang Jiahui only felt a strong feeling of pushing his back, and the car suddenly rushed out.
Because it was training, their current "Sea Hawk" was unloaded, only a third of the fuel was loaded, and the cannon was not even loaded with shells, so before the end of the deck, the fighters had already taken off.
Smooth take-off!
"Papapa......" There was a round of applause on the deck.
