Chapter 135: J-8C, air show
This is exactly how Chang Haonan coordinated with the exhibitor to arrange the appearance of the J-8C.
Like the J-20 at the 2016 air show, it did not land at Xiangzhou Airport before the air show, nor did it make any notice, but waited until after the opening ceremony to fly over and start the performance!
After the performance, the plane will land on the runway of Xiangzhou Airport, and then in the eyes of tens of thousands of spectators, it will be transferred from the runway area by a tractor to the vacant seats reserved in the exhibition area.
For the organizers of the air show, such an unusual appearance is definitely a big test.
But definitely a highlight!
Therefore, after careful consideration and consulting with Xiangzhou's superiors, the exhibitor finally agreed to this seemingly crazy plan.
……
Under the control of Fu Guoxiang, the No. 04 prototype swept over Xiangzhou Airport at a speed of slightly more than 250km/h.
This is a very slow speed for a second-generation aircraft, so the slightly harsh screeching of the turbojet engine lasted for a long time before fading away.
But for the audience, the sound was so beautiful!
"I think I saw it from the side of the plane...... J-8C? ”
There were also people next to me who weren't quite sure what they were seeing.
The main thing is that no one expected that the so-called "new aircraft" would appear in front of everyone's eyes in such a way.
"J-8C, should it be an aircraft built by the 83 Project? After the change in the nomenclature of the Air Force, it is now possible to distinguish different sub-models by letters instead of numbers. ”
"How can this plane come to the exhibition? I remember that in the summer of this year, it was only reported that there was a second-class accident from Hojing, which should have been the case of Jian-83, and it had only been three months. ”
In this era where the threshold for obtaining information is relatively high, many people in the military fan group are a little wild.
Although there may not be a channel to obtain completely true information, it is possible to analyze and infer a lot of things through some small traces.
Coupled with the fact that what he said was the way he said, it really made many people around him believe it.
"Am I grass? And what's going on? ”
"Then there can't be anything wrong with this plane, right?"
The person who spoke just now instantly became the focus of attention in a small area, which made him instantly feel like he was being held by the stars.
At this point, something has to be said more:
"I don't know, the previous second-class accident is said to be an engine failure, let me tell you, this aero engine is our old problem in China......
The young man with the camera in his hand frowned slightly.
As soon as he patronized and looked up at the new plane that suddenly appeared, when he remembered that when he opened the lens cover and raised the camera, he could only take pictures of the chrysanthemums of the plane, which was a little unpleasant.
Second, the half-bottle of water next to him chattering non-stop made him feel a little noisy.
The man was still babbling to the people around him:
"It's not that I'm talking nonsense, when I copied the J-7, because the relationship with Lao Maozi was broken, the technical information was not fully obtained, and the imitation turbojet 7 and the improved turbojet 13 had a lot of problems, just two days ago, Hainan Airlines in Qiong Province fell two J-8B at a time because of engine failure, which is definitely a high accident rate."
"The turbojet 14 on the J-8C borrows a lot of designs from the turbojet 13, and it feels like it...... It's not very reliable. ”
What he said was mysterious and mysterious, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Many people knew about the accident at Lingshui Airport a few days ago, but the details didn't leak out too much, so he was so fooled, coupled with the oil and vinegar in the process of the people around him, it seemed that the plane that was performing just now could really crash at any time......
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The young man finally couldn't bear it anymore and retorted loudly to his surroundings:
"Don't you all watch the news? A week ago, the news network also broadcast a special content of the 601 Institute, which also had a lot of test flight pictures, indicating that the plane should have solved the problem at that time. ”
"Are you...... Teacher Xi Boyang? ”
What he didn't expect was that someone in the crowd recognized his identity.
"I've read your work in aviation knowledge magazines, and there are interviews."
Obviously, this is one of his fans.
In fact, although Xi Boyang is only a college student who has not yet graduated, he has been contributing to major military magazines for two or three years by relying on his good photography skills, of course, as well as the equipment and travel support provided by the factory director's father.
Many of his classic photographs are made by him.
The other party was slapped directly in the face like this, and he naturally couldn't hold his face, but just as he wanted to open his mouth to refute, the familiar roar sounded again.
All eyes were on the sky again.
That J-8C is back.
Obviously, the low-altitude passage just now is just an appetizer, and now, it's the main meal.
The plane made a crisp 450° roll flight almost directly above the runway of Xiangzhou Airport, and then connected to an extremely compact small radius circle in horizontal space, and the smooth flight attracted bursts of cheers from the audience on the ground.
Due to the small moment of inertia of the large delta wing aircraft itself, and the flap part that provides the roll torque has been specially redesigned by Chang Haonan, the improved J-8C has a very huge improvement in roll rate.
As for the aircraft's ability to stabilize the disk, it is related to the thrust-to-weight ratio and lift coefficient, which also benefited a lot from the two major changes in the previous months.
Although this is still a relatively weak part of the performance, for the audience of the air show, the scene that has just happened is already very shocking.
People at the scene have more or less seen the J-6 of the air show team doing similar actions, but the size of the J-8C is almost three times that of the former, and the momentum is naturally not at the same level at all.
And a slightly more professional like Xi Boyang, while frantically pressing the shutter to the sky, can see some doorways.
Taking advantage of the slight reduction in the sound of the engine, he excitedly analyzed to the people around him:
"You see, this plane didn't even lose altitude when it did this set of maneuvers, which means that the power level is quite good!"
"I've seen the flight of the old J-8 before, and it doesn't roll so fast at all, and it also drops very high when hovering, and it has to be changed to a flat flight to climb after half a circle."
In this era of paper media, Xi Boyang's name can frequently appear in major military magazines, and his popularity is still a little, and the flight show just now also happens to confirm this judgment, so more and more people are beginning to believe his statement.
As for the other person who was still talking nonsense before, when the J-8C flew back just now, he had already disappeared into the crowd.
