During the two-hour simulated experience of the C16 on the first day, Xu Xian basically figured out the engine starting and some ground test joints. And no matter what, the gap between military aviation and civil aviation is still too big.

Xu Xian has great obstacles in accepting the difficulty. As far as Xu Xian's own feeling is concerned, he feels that he can not gain so much from two hours of field study.

It was a bit of a pity that when he came here, Xu Xian thought that a fighter jet would be nothing more than this. Unexpectedly, he actually slapped Xu Xian in the first lesson, which made his face hurt a little.

In the afternoon, Xu Xian slept for a whole afternoon at the Guest House. It was probably because the two hours of brain cell consumption in the morning were so severe that Xu Xian originally just wanted to take a nap, but ended up sleeping for three or four hours.

, by the time Xu Xian woke up from his sleep, it was already dinner time.

I don’t know if Ye Qing had calculated the time. Not long after Xu Xian woke up, at around 5:30 in the afternoon, Ye Qing called and asked if he wanted to have dinner together.

Ye Qing did not live in the Guest House, but he had something to do at Luohang Industry in the afternoon and did not go back. After finishing the work, it happened to be dinner time, so he called Xu Xian and asked if he wanted to have dinner together.

Xu Xian was already awake at that time and felt that time was almost up, so he agreed and met downstairs at the Guest House, and the two of them went to the cafeteria together.

On the way to the canteen, Xu Xian asked Ye Qing about the problem of Qingyuan Group's small ducted turbofan engine. Now there is only one of his five-person small team stationed in the Qingyuan Group's research laboratory. If he meets the small team

Only if the problem cannot be solved, Ye Qing will go to the research laboratory of Qingyuan Group in person.

After all, Ye Qing does not regard Qingyuan Group's small ducted turbofan engine research as a serious and difficult problem. Most of the problems are still solved by his own team. Only when he encounters really difficult problems, he will

I will go into battle myself.

"You have a good relationship with Xu Qing from Qingyuan Group, right?" Ye Qing suddenly mentioned Xu Qing's existence.

Xu Xian glanced at Ye Qing in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"Did you know that Dongkong once made a comprehensive judgment on Xu Qing's physical fitness, willpower and flying talent. The score obtained at that time was the second in the Air Force in the past thirty years. If there were no subsequent test flight accidents, Xu Qing would still have

Then a trace may enter the eastern sky."

This was the first time Xu Xian heard that the Air Force had contacted Xu Qing privately: "Are you saying that Uncle Qing might have joined the Air Force before?"

"Yes! To be honest, Xu Qing is more like a perfect fighter pilot than you. His ultimate overload test is 10 G. You have to understand that for most excellent fighter pilots, 9 G is already

It is the maximum load, and without any professional training, Xu Qing's ultimate overload has exceeded the upper limit of most well-trained fighter pilots. Isn't he born to be a fighter?" Ye Qing recalled now.

When talking about Xu Qing when chatting with people from Dongkong, I can still clearly remember the shocked expression on the face of the arrogant director of Dongkong’s recruitment office: “I don’t know what your overload limit is.

"

In the words of the director of the recruitment office, in terms of the prerequisite talent requirements for a fighter pilot, Xu Qingqing was the strongest person he had ever seen in his life.

"The strongest? Didn't it say that Uncle Qing can only be ranked second?" Xu Xian asked strangely.

"That's right, he is from the Eastern Airlines recruitment office, and the first ranked one is from Beikong." Ye Qing smiled and patted Xu Xian: "I can see that you are the kind of person who can't stand hardships, and you really have gold in your mouth."

People born with the spoon are a little loose-tempered."

Xu Xian frowned: "Are you investigating me?"

"Are you kidding me? For people like us, our innocence has been investigated for the past three generations. Isn't this normal? If you fly civil aviation, you have to undergo a political review. Isn't it normal for you to fly a fighter jet to investigate your background?"

"It looks like you have a very high level? You can also see my file." It is normal for the Air Force to dig into people's wealth. Otherwise, the country would not be at ease if the fighter jets were handed over to a person with unclear financial status. However, the pilot's

The file should be a restricted file, and not everyone within the Air Force can read it. It can only be said that Ye Qing's level should be relatively high, otherwise he would definitely not have permission.

"Hahaha, I just took a quick look." Ye Qing patted Xu Xian on the shoulder: "I was also curious, so I didn't look too much. I didn't look too much. Let's go and eat. Let's eat."

...

The next morning, Xu Xian and Ye Qing went to get anti-German suits early. Originally, Xu Xian's flight would not involve large overload maneuvers, so anti-German suits were not needed. However, just in case, Xu Xian was still

It is required to wear anti-gravity clothing.

Overload maneuvers are not uncommon among fighter pilots. In these maneuvers, the pilot's blood will spontaneously flow to the lower limbs under the action of centrifugal force and overload, which will cause ischemia in the brain and heart. Anti-gravity suits will

Squeezing the human body's abdomen and lower limbs to forcibly prevent blood from transferring to the lower limbs can generally increase the human body's ultimate overload of 1.2 to 1.6.

The anti-gravity suit Xu Xian received is a common bag-type anti-gravity suit. It has five connected air bags on the abdomen, calf and thigh, as well as side bags on the lower limbs, and is positioned on the clothing surface with cross straps. Xu Xian wears

After putting it on, I felt that my lower body was tightly wrapped, which was not very comfortable.

Wearing a bulky anti-static suit, Xu Xian felt like he was dragging his feet when he walked, which was very unaccustomed to him.

However, according to Ye Qing's words, if Xu Xian really flies a fighter jet in the future, the anti-Dutch suit will be standard equipment for fighter pilots, and he will get used to it in the future.

I don’t know if the C16 that made the actual flight this time was the one that I observed and learned yesterday. Xu Xian didn’t remember the aircraft number of yesterday’s aircraft.

The fighter jet that was about to fly this time was parked on the open-air apron. After Ye Qing and Xu Xian came over, Ye Qing first said a few words to the maintenance crew. After the handover, just like yesterday, Xu Xian sat in the front seat and Ye Qing

Qing is in the back seat.

Fortunately, he gained experience yesterday, and Xu Xian's operations seemed much more proficient this time, and he was not so timid when performing key movements.

It took almost two hours to complete a set of ground preparation procedures yesterday, and it only took about forty minutes today. Originally, Ye Qing wanted to let him guide Xu Xian through the procedures quickly, but Xu Xian was very stubborn.

Soon, he thought about doing it himself and asking Ye Qing to remind him if there was anything he didn't understand.

Originally, if Ye Qing guided them one by one, it would take more than 20 minutes to complete, but Xu Xian did it by himself, which took more than 40 minutes.

"I will be responsible for all the radios later, and you will be responsible for controlling them." Ye Qing instructed. Military aviation communications is a subject. Usually, it takes instructors to fly with them several times before they can become familiar with the communication formats, and Xu Qing

Obviously, the relevant terminology in military aviation communications is not very clear, and communication barriers are prone to occur.

These are not big problems. Ye Qing is sitting on it and can help Xu Xian check for leaks and fill in the gaps. But up to now, the plane has been parked on the apron for more than 40 minutes without moving. If he is still tinkering with communications in the sky

content, then they should stop flying today.

After all, Xu Xian came here to experience flying this time, not to practice flying.

Xu Xian also knew that communication could not be learned in a day or two, and there was no point in worrying about whether to do it by himself. On the ground, he was obsessed with doing the ground preparation procedures by himself, which had already taken a lot of time, and there were more than one left.

hours, I’d better concentrate on experiencing flying.

So this time, Xu Xian readily agreed: "Okay, then just be responsible for the control."

The airport at the Luohang Flight Base is not large, and the taxiing route is extremely simple. The base is a single runway running north-south, with two rapid escape lanes at both ends of the runway and at the one-third and two-thirds points.

On a taxiway parallel to the runway, the taxiway is connected to the apron in the middle, which is where Xu Xian is now.

This is a fairly simple and straightforward airport.

After everything was ready, Xu Xian controlled the plane to glide at a turtle speed. In any case, the basic control principle of the plane is the same. If Xu Xian can fly a large passenger plane, he can also fly a smaller fighter jet.

Thanks to the simple structure of the Luohang Industrial Flight Base Airport, there are no winding taxiing routes, so Xu Xian was very comfortable taxiing.

After sliding to the end of the runway as instructed, Ye Qing applied to enter the runway. After receiving permission, Xu Xian began to slowly align himself with the runway.

During this process, Ye Qing reminded Xu Xian: "Today our plane does not have any mounts. The plane is relatively light. Be careful when you raise your head later and don't load it too hard."

This time it was just a flight experience. I heard from Ye Qing that the airspace approved above is an airspace with an altitude of 1,000 to 8,000 meters 80 kilometers southeast of the airport. After taking off, it will fly directly to the target.

Airspace, where various subject experiences are conducted.

For a pure experience flight, there will definitely not be any mounts, so the weight of this aircraft is particularly light.

In fact, whether it is a fighter jet or a passenger plane, flying empty is not an easy operation. Xu Xian has not yet experienced what it feels like to fly a fighter jet empty, but he had a flight adjustment before, and there was not a single passenger except the crew.

It was a perfect empty plane flight. At that time, Xu Xian always felt that the plane was very unstable when he was flying it, just like falling leaves in the strong wind. If there was a slight disturbance, the plane would not be stable.

Moreover, for an unladen aircraft, the response of the control input to the aircraft state will be more obvious. During the wheel-raising period, the same lever may have a lifting rate of 3 degrees per second for a normally mounted fighter aircraft.

, but if it is used on an unladen fighter, the constant amount of rod lift may be a lifting rate of 4 degrees per second. If the head is raised too fast, the fighter may also rub the tail of the aircraft.

It was precisely because of this concern that Ye Qing specifically reminded Xu Xian to prevent Xu Xian from being unaccustomed and leading him too fast.

"I know." Xu Xian set the brakes and stretched his muscles a little. He was still a little nervous about operating a fighter jet for the first time.

Ye Qing clearly saw Xu Xian's little movements from behind, and said with a smile: "Nervous, it's okay. I'll take care of you from behind. There won't be any problems."

This C16D fighter jet is a two-seat signal fighter. The front and rear seats are equipped with a complete set of control, electronic and navigation systems. Whenever something goes wrong, Ye Qing can intervene in time, and basically there will be no problems.

"That's what you said." Xu Xian said with a smile.

At this time, the tower gave takeoff permission: "024, the ground wind is calm, you can take off. Keep on guard after takeoff."

"024, you can take off." 024 is Ye Qing's number.

"Then... let's go!" Xu Xian began to increase the thrust to the maximum, but did not turn on the afterburner. This was not an emergency takeoff, and there was no need to use afterburner to take off.

After the thrust gradually increased to the maximum, Xu Xian released the brakes, and the surging thrust of 75,000 N pushed the aircraft back and began to accelerate crazily. The back-pushing feeling was something that a passenger aircraft simply could not experience.

If afterburner is used, the thrust can reach 130,000 N, which is a power increase of almost 40%. During an emergency takeoff, the pilot's body will probably stick to the seat as if it is stained with adhesive.

on the back.

Ye Qing did not explain the approximate rotation speed of the C16. He knew that for a good pilot, there was no need to know the dogmatic rotation speed.

As he expected, Xu Xian did not know the wheel-turning speed of the C16. However, after the aircraft accelerated to a certain speed and approached the wheel-turning speed, the aircraft would automatically start to raise its head. Once he felt this upward trend,

torque, it means that the aircraft is close to its wheel-raising speed.

This time, because it was in an unloaded state, the nose of the aircraft began to rise when it reached about 200 knots. This was not caused by Xu Xian's control of the stick, but by the aircraft's own initiative. At this time, Xu Xian knew the timing to turn up the wheel.

arrive.

At this moment, Xu Xian gently lifted the lever, like a dragonfly touching water, and the aircraft took off with great force. The two main wheels lifted off the ground, drew a graceful diagonal line in the air, and shot straight into the sky.

After taking off, Xu Xian held the landing gear in his hands while maintaining a climbing attitude of about 15 degrees to ascend. I have to say that the landing gear handle of the C16 fighter jet is very small, not at all like the thick landing gear handle of the 737. It is similar to the 737 landing gear handle.

The small handle of the 737MAX is a bit imaginary. It is located above the left panel and can be reached by Xu Xian's left hand.

"024, when the altitude reaches 3,000, turn right and fly to the target airspace on your own, maintaining constant presence." After the plane took off, the tower gave the instruction.
