On the other hand, after Lei Qiang piloted the plane into the taxiing stage, the engineers and technicians who were not directly involved in the flight command, including Chang Haonan, were all transferred to the management platform.

When the No. 1001 lifted its wheels in the first half of the runway, the crowd at the scene even erupted into a burst of doubts.

After all, under normal circumstances, the aircraft performing the first flight mission, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, will choose to taxi on the runway for a long time, increase the speed to a relatively safe level and then choose to take off.

Moreover, the more common models of the Huaxia Air Force, J-7, Qiang-5, and J-8, are all players with a fairly high take-off speed, so many people who have not paid special attention to the field of aviation technology on weekdays will subconsciously think that a taxiing distance of hundreds of kilometers is normal.

In comparison, the J-10 is indeed too early to lift the wheel in less than 400 meters.

The plane hadn't even reached the front of the viewing platform.

In fact, Lei Qiang, who was piloting the plane, also wanted to press the nose of the plane at first, so that the plane could be pulled up as close to the middle of the runway as possible.

One is to leave some redundancy, and the other is that the visual effect will be more shocking.

However, the design of the canard wing enlarged delta wing layout is indeed too good in terms of lift (the canard plane relies on lifting the front wing to gain torque when looking up, while the conventional layout relies on pressing the tail down, which will lose a certain amount of total lift), and he deliberately pushed the rod violently in order to test the working condition of the engine control system, resulting in the acceleration of the aircraft is much faster than expected.

In short, when the plane taxied to the early 300 meters, the tendency to leave the ground was already very obvious, and then forced downward pressure may lead to a certain risk, so Lei Qiang simply pulled the rod to show the excellent take-off and landing ability of the No. 10 project.

Unlike the one-sided pursuit of high-altitude and high-speed aircraft of the second-generation aircraft, the trade-offs of the third-generation fighter in the design theory will pay more attention to the real maneuverability and agility in the low-to-medium speed range.

Although the take-off and landing ability does not directly reflect the maneuverability, it is also a relatively intuitive embodiment.

Especially for laymen who don't know much about aviation, and they don't know much about the Air Force.

In the process of the run, the engine control system of the J-10 left a deep impression and strong confidence on Lei Qiang, so he finally chose to implement the B plan specified at the pre-flight preparation meeting.

That is, the plan of relatively radical action.

After confirming that the aircraft was safely off the ground, Lei Qiang did not let the aircraft continue to climb at a small angle, but quickly pushed the throttle valve and continued to pull the rod, allowing the prototype to rush straight up at an angle of about 70°.

This is also the limit that Xin Xiaowen set for him.

Although the J-10 can theoretically maintain acceleration in the process of vertical upward flight in the case of light load and light oil, it is the first flight after all, so it still has to be leisurely.

Of course, the so-called "take it easy" is relative to the limits of the aircraft.

Due to the angle of the viewing platform, it seemed to the audience that the 1001 aircraft had made a vertical climb almost immediately after takeoff.

The doubts on the viewing platform just now instantly turned into exclamations, followed by warm applause.

After a short but rapid climb, the 1001 came to the predetermined altitude of 2100 and the speed of 490.

The weather conditions at the scene were excellent, and even ordinary telescopes could clearly see the posture of the two planes in the air.

According to the previous test flight plan, the next step was a two-week circle around the field.

The hovering angle in scheme B is also larger, close to 90 °, and there are also two roll flights.

Although it is not a dazzling maneuver, for these spectators at the scene, it is already surrounded by a huge sense of happiness to see the first third-generation aircraft completely developed by China take off.

Chang Haonan, who has watched the video of the first flight of the J-10 many times in his previous life, did not pay all his attention to the air, and after the first lap around the field was basically determined that there was no problem with the flight situation, he learned about the feedback of the test pilot in real time through the walkie-talkie and the test flight station.

And by the way, guide the photographer sitting on top of the coach 8 to take pictures.

In fact, at first, he even wanted to repeat his old tricks and take charge of the photography himself.

It's just that after thinking about it, I still didn't mention it.

Chang Haonan now is completely different from a year ago.

At that time, he was just a fledgling young technician, although he showed a little talent, but his own value did not exceed the level of a normal person after all, and he flew up.

Now that he has achieved a little bit of success, I am afraid that even if he brings it up, it is unlikely that he will be allowed.

In order to guarantee adequate flight performance, tactical aircraft, including trainers, have accident tolerances that are orders of magnitude higher than those of passenger aircraft.

"Look, it's rolling, it's rolling!"

Chang Haonan put down the walkie-talkie, and heard another burst of excited voices around him.

He also raised the telescope in his hand again and looked at the sky.

After all, this is a test flight content that was not in the previous life.

As an aircraft that focuses on agility, the roll rate of the J-10 can also be among the best in the third-generation aircraft, and the two consecutive 360° rolls are completed in a short time, and the program effect is full.

Obviously, the performance of the aircraft is quite remarkable.

And in the process of this first lift-off flight, the pilot has been given enough confidence.

It's actually quite difficult.

Many of the models, even if they were very successful, did not go well during the initial test flights.

Su-27, F15, F16 are all the same.

Even the J-10 on the original timeline is the same.

Although there have been no major problems, there are no small problems.

Now, however, the No. 1001 machine, which has not undergone those two damage repairs, is obviously much more perfect.

The test pilot even said on the radio that he didn't think it looked like an aircraft in its first flight at all.

The moment he put down the binoculars, Chang Haonan noticed that the big leader in the front row took off his black-framed glasses, and gently wiped the corners of his eyes with this action.

At this time, the walkie-talkie placed next to Chang Haonan sounded again:

"The pilot reported that the aircraft was in very good condition with sufficient fuel remaining, and requested a touchdown and two more laps."

Xue Chiyu and the other people looked at each other a few times, and each saw the same answer from each other's faces.

"Approve the request."

Yang Wei picked up the walkie-talkie and replied.

Soon, the prototype, which had completed the second circumnavigation circle, reappeared at a distance at the end of the runway and slowly descended in altitude.

The test flight went smoothly, and even someone on the viewing platform was ready to get up and go to the tarmac to greet the pilots off the plane.

However, the plane only gently brushed the ground with the main wheels, and then accelerated its climb again and returned to the air.

It was almost a full second of silence before everyone realized that this was a part of the first flight.

Now, even people who don't understand aviation know that the state of the plane should be quite good, otherwise they won't play so much tricks.

Cheers and applause reigned back.

Five minutes later, as a red and white parachute bloomed behind the plane, the first flight of Project 10 was finally successfully completed!

Rong Fei originally arranged a shuttle bus to take the people on the viewing platform to the tarmac to greet the pilot, but because the number of people who came to watch was far higher than expected at the beginning, many people did not have seats.

Many spectators, who are already in their forties and fifties, and even older, can't wait to get on the next bus and follow the car all the way.

Fortunately, the distance between the two is not far, otherwise Chang Haonan would still be a little worried-

If the plane and the test pilot were safe and sound, but the audience had something to do with it, I am afraid that it would have left a mark in the history of international aviation......

When the tide of people rushed to the tarmac, the J-10, which had thrown away the parachute, also happened to follow the guide and stop at the pre-designed parking position.

The moment the canopy opened, cheers almost filled the sky.

Lei Qiang took off his oxygen mask and flight helmet by himself, and then waved outside.

The test flight just now was obviously not abnormal, at least it did not put too much physical burden on him.

A young ground crew struggled through the crowd with a boarding staircase, slung to the left side of the cockpit, as is customary, and then felt as if someone was tapping him on the shoulder.

"What ......"

Halfway through his sentence, he looked back and saw a face that he had only seen on the news broadcast before.

"Little comrade, please go and move a ladder again, we want to take a photo with the test pilot."

"Huh...... Good, good......"

The young man who was personally instructed by the big leader was a little unpleasant to talk excitedly, but he still used the shortest time to move another boarding ladder from next to Coach 8 not far away, leaving Li Yong, who had just opened the cockpit, and the photographer in the front seat staring at each other.

The second boarding ladder was soon placed on the other side of the cockpit.

Chief Engineer Xue Chiyu and the big leader took a photo with Lei Qiang, who had just stood up from the cockpit.

"Thank you, thank you for everything!"

The big leader looked around, first to the test pilot, and then to everyone around him.

According to Chang Haonan's speculation, there should have been many people crying excitedly at the scene.

As for why it's speculation -

Because his vision was already a little blurry.
