Chang Haonan at this time is really not in Beijing Airlines.

Since Sichuan Province itself is not a very serious area affected by floods, and the geographical location of Plant 132 is relatively superior, it is not easy to accumulate water, coupled with a truckload of soil expansion water bags sent by the superior units at the most critical moment, under the superposition of various factors, the entire plant area is far less affected by this wave of floods nationwide than previously expected.

The 01 prototype of Project 10 was not even moved to a higher place, but after calculations, it was slightly supported in the final assembly hall to a certain height, and it completely avoided the threat of waterlogging.

Therefore, about half a month after the rain subsided, Rongfei was able to completely eliminate the negative impact of the flood and began to prepare for the test flight according to the original plan.

As a person who played an extremely important role in the early ground test process, Chang Haonan naturally received an invitation to participate in the first flight ceremony.

Although I had been prepared for this for a long time, when I actually received this call, it felt completely different.

If the Huaxia Air Force can be simply and crudely divided into two eras, before and after the introduction of the Su-27, then the aviation industry in China can also be divided into two eras in the same way, and the watershed is Project No. 10!

As a third-generation fighter, the excellent performance is still secondary, and the greater significance lies in the fact that it is the first model in China to independently complete the whole process from pre-research, project approval to finalized service under the new national military standard system.

Even if there are still some parts on this aircraft that need to be imported from abroad, it will not affect its position in the history of the development of China's aviation industry.

Prior to this, although there were also independent models such as Jianjiao-1, Chujiao-6 and Shui-Bang-5 that deviated from the technical route of copying Soviet aircraft, they either had a relatively low technical level, or finally failed to enter mass production for various reasons, in short, they all had various regrets.

The J-10 is the first time that Huaxia has opened up a complete aviation industry chain from beginning to end.

Don't think that the overall design of the aircraft is a simple matter.

Anyone who has ever worked in engineering will know that even watching someone else complete a project is completely different from doing it yourself.

Only after completing this leap from 0 to 1 can we have the capital to think so.

You know, even after more than 20 years, there are not many countries that can "save" an aircraft with imported parts.

Those who are difficult will not, and those who will will not be difficult.

It's a bit like writing a paper, when you look at other people's papers, you always feel "what kind of garbage can you send nature?" But when it came time to write it myself, I found that what I wrote was not as good as garbage.

The No. 10 project is the first paper completed by Huaxia in the field of aviation industry.

And this paper directly won the top journal.

Therefore, the first flight of the J-10 naturally cannot be absent.

……

When Chang Haonan arrived in Rongcheng by plane, it was three days before the first flight day.

After all, he can be regarded as an insider who participated in Project 10, and the treatment he received was naturally completely different.

In the final analysis, the other guests who just came to observe, no matter how high their status, can only be regarded as "outsiders" for the project of Project 10, and it will be more obstructive to come to Rongfei too long in advance, or to go too deep into their daily work.

But Chang Haonan will not.

Not only not, but even after he arrived at the 132 factory, he was personally brought into the assembly workshop by Yang Wei, the deputy chief designer.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Xue."

Unexpectedly, Chang Haonan saw Song Wencong and Xue Chiyu in front of the No. 01 prototype that was undergoing the final round of testing.

At this stage, the two of them, as chief engineers and chief engineers, are actually relatively limited in what they can do.

The reason why I have been staying here is mainly for psychological comfort.

In today's timeline, due to the addition of Chang Haonan, the No. 01 prototype did not suffer those two heavy losses in the ground test, coupled with the optimization of the manufacturing process and production management level, so there was no postponement of the first flight in the previous life because of the discovery of three drops of oil leakage.

"Xiao Chang, come and take a look at this plane."

After a brief greeting, Xue Chiyu directly pulled Chang Haonan to the side.

The afterglow of the setting sun through the glass of the factory enveloped the fuselage of the No. 01 prototype, glowing with a golden sheen, as if bathed in holy light.

Of course, this is not the first time Chang Haonan has seen the J-10.

Compared with the first flight state in the previous life, the hardware of the aircraft in front of me has not changed much, and the main differences are basically concentrated in the invisible software part.

In particular, the flight control program, after integrating the surge prediction and active control system designed by Chang Haonan, can almost be said to be reborn.

Although this does not directly improve the performance boundaries of the aircraft, on the one hand, it is good for the safety of the flight, especially during the test flight, and on the other hand, it also allows the pilot to be more confident in trying to push the potential of this aircraft to the limit.

In the past, in order to reduce risks, we could only exert 80 percent of our strength, but now we can play 90 percent or even 9 percent and a half, and the actual combat level will naturally make a significant progress.

Chang Haonan and Yang Wei walked around the plane slowly.

This plane, no matter how you look at it, you can't get enough of it.

It's just that halfway through the second lap, he suddenly frowned slightly.

Because when he habitually looked under the wing, Chang Haonan remembered something that later made the Air Force resentful for a long time.

"Mr. Yang, I think our plane, the pylon interface on the innermost side of the wing doesn't seem to be the same as the two groups outside?"

He turned his head to Yang Wei behind him and asked.

In fact, as a reborn, he certainly knew that the answer was yes.

The inner wing pylons of the J-10 are basically designed to carry auxiliary fuel tanks, and there is no high-capacity data signal interface.

As a result, the two most advantageously located pylons could not carry guided weapons, and even in cases where auxiliary fuel tanks were not required, only the simplest uncontrolled bombs or rockets could be used.

On the one hand, this is to save some costs, but mainly to leave more space inside the wing to stuff the fuel tank.

This is true of almost all models of equipment of the Huaxia Air Force in the past.

There is no way, before the Su-27, the Soviet-made aircraft that Huaxia came into contact with were all models equipped with front-line aviation, with a single function and a relatively short range.

In the operational setting of the Soviet army, they only need to take off and land from front-line airfields to ensure that air supremacy is not completely lost.

The rest will be solved by the army itself.

However, these short-legged MiGs to the same vast territory of Huaxia side, but to assume the responsibilities that originally belonged to the territorial air defense force, so fuel anxiety is generally very serious, from J-5 to J-7, Huaxia in the improvement of these models of an eternal theme is "let me see where else I can stuff a fuel tank in".

When it came to the design of the J-8 and J-10, although the basic range was no longer so pitiful, the design habits could be changed as long as they could be changed, so both models still retained a pair of pylons without a dedicated data interface.

After hearing Chang Haonan's concerns, Yang Wei's answer was almost not much different from the former's expectations:

"4 pylons, two in and two close, how can they be enough...... Can the Air Force have so many missiles to hang up? ”

"It should be more important to ensure the basic range......

It can only be said that after all, people cannot recognize things beyond objective reality.

At the end of the 90s, this really can't be considered a problem, because at this time the task of the Huaxia Air Force is still simply to defend air supremacy is not completely lost, and to be honest, there are not so many missiles in the arsenal for you to hang, and it is enough to keep 4 pylons for each aircraft.

It's just that no one could have imagined that in just a dozen years, Huaxia would have a new type of air force that is both offensive and defensive.

And at that time, the problem of insufficient pylons began to bother.

Four pylons are barely enough for air combat, but if you want to double up as a ground attack, it will not be enough in any case, so the combat unit has to come up with all kinds of strange asymmetrical loads.

Although it is not unusable, the combat efficiency will be reduced a lot in the end.

In the face of this explanation, Chang Haonan could not jump the god and say that I calculated that the Air Force would have a large number of ground strike needs in ten years, and this kind of pylon design would be complained about by the troops, so I had to use some slightly more tactful methods:

"At the moment, this is indeed the case for us, but hasn't it been decided before, the self-use model will be changed to the DSI inlet later, and now this version with an adjustable inlet will be taken out because it adapts to a wider range of speed changes."

"If you think about the countries that will buy our Huaxia fighters, none of them need a particularly large range, but they all hope that the Air Force can only be equipped with one kind of aircraft that covers all tasks, then at least there must be a need to carry two and two nearly four air-to-air bombs and two ground weapons at the same time, and now this kind of design is probably not conducive to competition with peers......

"Hiss......"

Yang Wei was also an unborn genius, but he didn't expect that this layer was just blinded by the status quo.

Now I am reminded by Chang Haonan.

Suddenly, the world is wide.
