In the silent desert Gobi, the test base appears huge and lonely. With hundreds of kilometers of desolation, the test base becomes even more prosperous.
Within a hundred kilometers of the test base, there is a highway, known as the most beautiful highway in the country, which also needs to pass through no man's land. In addition, there is a special railway, which is the Liejiang Test Base in the northwest region.
A transportation trunk line connecting the Kurdish air defense base and other important military areas.
As for those national roads, provincial roads, county roads, and even non-paved roads for off-road enthusiasts that have existed for who knows how many years, there are also several. But in so many years, no ordinary people have ever come close to the depths.
The test base - the location here is too isolated.
When the sky was dark, the roar of the aircraft engine resounded throughout the field as the thrust was released. The experimental training team rushed to conduct a wave before the 131st Tactical Attack Squadron returned home across the day and night.
The four J-15Bs of the experimental training team began to eject and take off day after day, circled half a circle around the field and entered the landing route, and then continued to eject and take off.
In the steam ejection system, after one ejection, steam will emerge from the position of the slide rail. This is not the case with the electromagnetic ejection. Not only is the sound during operation extremely quiet, but the preparation time for ejection is also very short. Li Hai and others concentrated on shortening the time for each other.
interval between them, so as to meet the requirements of Mr. Fang and others.
It is not easy to use four J-15Bs to test the strength envelope of the electromagnetic catapult system. At present, we can only try our best to wait until the advanced training stage and new fighters join the test ranks. At that time
Only then can we test this data.
At this time, the ground was still dark. After climbing dozens of meters, the slightly bright east side could be seen.
Before starting the training, Zhu Wei solemnly emphasized, "Every ejection requires a new experience. Our resources are limited and fuel is precious, so we must do our best to make every ejection valuable. Ejection system team, J-15B team
, are all eagerly waiting for us to provide data. We have been flying for several days, and the data we can provide is obviously too little. Therefore, I ask you to be very energetic, and after each training, carefully
The report is written."
Li Hai took a deep breath and wrote it down carefully.
What the master said last night was still echoing in his ears. He thought about it for a long time. There were some words that the master had not said thoroughly, in order to let him understand the deeper things. This was done after the surface ship unit came back and was combined for nearly a year.
The conclusion drawn by the captain's experience. In short, he must learn to look higher and look at the bigger picture.
Finally, Li Hai came to a conclusion - what he is doing now is defining the operating specifications of the People's Navy's future carrier-based aircraft.
At first, he thought that Mao Lele was involved in this work just like him, but today he suddenly realized that Mao Lele was like a "guinea pig", that is, the set work specifications were used on him.
What kind of situation it was, and what was his reaction.
In this sense, Luo Falcon's positioning is the same as Mao Lele's - Luo Falcon represents the pilots of the traditional class, while Mao Lele represents the pilots of the growth class. Their personal flying abilities may not be the same as the group they represent.
The best among them, but definitely the most representative.
The current People's Navy has a large number of traditional class pilots. The so-called traditional class refers to pilots who have been selected from the shore-based aviation forces and have rich flying experience. They have become Flying Shark pilots by modifying J-15 carrier-based fighter jets.
The growth class aims at becoming a flying shark pilot from the day they enroll, and uses this as a guide to conduct systematic training. The number of this group is still small, but it is gradually increasing.
The master once said that Zhu Wei had his own limitations. Li Hai did not fully understand what this meant. When Zhu Wei was already a major pilot, the master had just arrived in the Second Division with the rank of captain, but soon
, Zhu Wei has been working under the master. It can be said that the master knows Zhu Wei very well. Since he said this, it at least means that in the experimental training group, Zhu Wei's role is the organizer, and the real front-line
In fact, he was the only one who conducted the experiment.
After thinking about this, Li Hai understood why his master called him specifically to say what he said.
He deeply felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Others don't understand the surface ship force, doesn't Li Hai? They have a completely different rhythm of equipment upgrading for the flying force. The development time span of large ships is long, from proposing the idea to completing the design, it takes at least three years, from
From the start of construction to the launch of the water, it takes another three years, and from the launch to the service and the formation of combat effectiveness, it will take another three years at the earliest.
It takes at least ten years to complete the process. Therefore, it is generally required that the ship has sufficient modification potential and a service life of at least thirty years, so as to ensure that its technical level can keep up with development needs after it enters service.
Therefore, the transfer and decommissioning of active ships is also a process that takes a long time span.
Regardless of the fact that the No. 3 ship has not yet entered service, the No. 1 and No. 2 ships may have already determined their future use directions. The No. 2 ship can still be used for more than ten years, but the No. 1 ship has been significantly moving towards training starting from this year.
The ship's direction changed.
Pilots who are qualified to board the ship through training on the No. 1 ship will eventually need to undergo catapult takeoff training before they can become Flying Shark pilots on the No. 3 ship and subsequent ships.
Master had a sentence that left a deep impression on Li Hai and deeply shocked him - to develop reasonable and feasible training standards for the pilots of the No. 3 ship and the subsequent dozens of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers!
The key lies in "more than a dozen nuclear-powered aircraft carriers"!
Master is not a braggart. Since he said this, he probably heard some news from higher-ups. He even participated in formulating the equipment development plan of the People's Navy.
Li Hai felt even more excited when he thought that the maneuvers he flew out would be followed by the pilots of more than a dozen nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and would form a standard in the training syllabus.
This work is very challenging and of epoch-making significance.
After fully realizing the difficulty and glory of the task, all those previous feelings of boredom were completely gone.
Li Hai entered the battle in a light vehicle. As the first place today, he was once again thrown out by the electromagnetic catapult. He began to fly with questions, imagining various possible scenarios and what kind of control actions should be taken. In this way, the effect Very significant.
After two consecutive ups and downs, Li Hai suddenly felt that the altar was clear and clear, and his previous slightly chaotic state was gone.
While waiting in line for takeoff, he used the notepad he carried to write down the problem and the other party's solutions. Such as the timing of pushing full throttle, the rate of climb after leaving the deck, etc. Referring to the operation of the US Navy, before leaving After the deck, the afterburner is usually not turned on because the ejection system has given the fighter aircraft enough take-off speed. The benefits of doing so are very obvious, as it can increase the range and increase the combat radius of the fighter aircraft.
The basic version of the J-8 is a well-known fuel hog. After taking off with standard mounts and afterburner, its combat range can hardly exceed 500 kilometers. It can be called an airport defender. Therefore, pilots at that time usually used it for a long time. The rolling distance can be increased to solve this problem, but in this way, the dispatch efficiency will be significantly slower, and it will be unable to respond in time to sudden air conditions.
Li Hai also became more and more aware of the difficulties faced by fighter aircraft developers. Combat radius, maneuverability, load capacity, fuel economy, etc., these indicators were all contradictory.
After taking off again, Li Hai turned right according to the established route and flew northward at low altitude from the west side of the main runway. After passing the main runway, he turned right again and the nose of the aircraft was aligned with the runway and started landing. He took off into the wind and landed into the wind. The trajectory of this route is very similar to that of a standard sports ground. Mao Lele joked that the daily training is just running, which is very vivid.
Just as Li Hai continued to descend, he seemed to notice something flashing past on the right side. He quickly turned his head to look over, but found that there was nothing. The flying height was only a few dozen meters at this time, and he did not dare to distinguish it. Center, hold the control stick tightly and lower the flaps, speed brakes and landing gear.
At this time, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something extremely faint flashing on the right side.
He was sure that there was something on the right that was emitting light regularly, albeit very faintly.
He pulled up the nose of the plane slightly and the landing gear touched the ground. After the speed came down, he immediately stepped on the brakes to slow down and reported to the tower, "Tower, there is a suspicious light to the west, direction of the highway."
"What is it?" the tower commander immediately became alert and asked.
Li Hai replied, "I can't see clearly."
"Understood." The tower commander turned around and ordered, "Take off the duty helicopter and ask the guard company to remove a few people."
"Yes!" The combat staff immediately went to make arrangements.
When Li Hai taxied to the take-off position, he saw a commuter car speeding past the helicopter parking bay in the distance. A squad of soldiers jumped out and headed towards the Z-20 general helicopter on duty with their guns on their backs. Ascending. Within a few seconds, the Z-20 took off and accelerated towards the west.
There is a dirt road more than ten kilometers away, which is a national highway that goes all the way west from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The road condition is very poor. Almost no one takes that road. It is not only dangerous, but also time-consuming. In addition, the highway network is now overcrowded.
As the world becomes more developed, drivers have many better choices.
"What could it be?" Mao Lele asked curiously.
Li Hai said, "It's not very clear. The red flash is very weak."
At this time, the tower issued an order, "Suspend training and wait for notification."
Obviously, the experimental training had to be suspended until the situation was clarified and hidden dangers were eliminated. In this vast desert Gobi, there is almost no danger of bird collisions. Instead, what needs to be more vigilant is safety and confidentiality.
Putting the J-15B ejection takeoff training here also has confidentiality requirements. ()
