No wonder Professor Su and He Zhimin couldn't do anything about it. Aircraft research and development... The research and development process of v1 missile is actually the research and development of small aircraft. In principle, it is even more difficult than the research and development of aircraft, because it is an unmanned aircraft to be precise.
Aircraft development has included more "unmanned driving" processes.
Of course, such a comparison is not objective.
Because the aircraft needs to be used for a long time, it is necessary to consider the structural strength, maneuverability, bulletproof and other performance and indicators of the aircraft.
But the v1 missile is a one-time use. As long as it can fly to the destination, it is done, so these aspects do not need to be considered. This is why Professor Su and others were able to build two prototypes so quickly.
The difficulty of the v1 missile is that it is unmanned.
In this regard, even Hans's technology requires real pilots to test the flight and then obtain the data, and this data is not accurate... This directly leads to the v1 missile's accuracy when attacking the island without setting, and it can deviate from the target by more than ten kilometers.
It's the norm.
It's Wang Xuexin's turn to conduct research and development. With China's current conditions and technical level, it is almost impossible to compile all kinds of data in the laboratory.
Therefore, finding a pilot for a test flight is an unavoidable issue, and it can be expected that this will require a long and dangerous test flight process.
Professor Su thought for a while and then suggested: "Battal Commander, this pilot... needs to pass the test in flying skills, otherwise..."
Wang Xuexin nodded to express his understanding.
This is mainly a prototype problem.
This prototype has never been tested or verified at all. The engine is also a very cheap rocket engine. Even the thrust of this thing is sometimes strong and sometimes weak and unstable. If a pilot with unskilled skills is allowed to fly...
When it came up, the plane crashed and everyone died.
Needless to say what the result was, the R&D team not only lost the test flight data and sacrificed the pilot, but also put the prototype into the aircraft and needed to re-produce it.
Wang Xuexin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Leave this matter to me!"
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the pilot camp.
On the way, Wang Xuexin analyzed the filtering conditions in his mind:
First of all, the pilot must be a Chinese pilot. Let the Yingjiang pilots come for a test flight... Let’s not say whether they agree or not. Yingjiang pilots are life-saving. Before performing a mission, they usually have to judge whether the mission is dangerous.
Is the mission worth the risk?
These are the second ones. If Yingjiang pilots are allowed to test fly, Wang Xuexin will probably kill people and silence him after the test is over. Otherwise, this so-called "high-precision rocket" will not be a secret to Yingjiang.
Secondly, this pilot will be separated from the flight team in the future.
This is due to the confidentiality of the equipment. If they are allowed to return to the flight team, they may be found out with ulterior motives.
But this is not a big problem. In the future, these test pilots will be dedicated to providing flight advice for various types of missiles.
Thirdly, the technology must pass the test, which is a matter of life and whether the experiment can be successful.
The first thing Wang Xuexin thought of was Li Yueying. Although this guy didn't have much practical experience, his flying skills were top-notch.
It's a pity...
She is a reinforcement from Yingjiang, and her nationality is Yingjiang. Yingjiang can transfer her back to the country if necessary, and the Eighth Route Army will have no reason to refuse.
So Wang Xuexin had no choice but to screen her out.
The one with excellent flying skills...
Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Xuexin walked into the pilot camp.
The pilots are training on the playground. Major Doug made some homemade training equipment, which is similar to a merry-go-round, but the speed is much faster. The pilots sit on it and spin in circles... This is to allow the pilots to adapt to this kind of training equipment.
It feels like the world is spinning, otherwise if you fly the plane around in the air for a few times, you won’t know where the sky is and where the ground is.
So it is really not easy to be a pilot. If Wang Xuexin were to sit on it and spin it a few times, he would probably vomit out last night's overnight meal.
When several pilots saw Wang Xuexin coming in, they greeted him enthusiastically:
"battalion commander!"
"The battalion commander is back?"
Major Doug, who was yelling at the pilot at the other end of the training field, caught a glimpse of Wang Xuexin from a distance, raised his hand and waved to Wang Xuexin as a greeting, and then yelled at the pilot again.
Zhou Yuankai took a moment and ran up, standing next to Wang Xuexin and saying enviously: "Battal Commander, I heard that you went to Yuncheng for a few days and won another big victory? You also handed over a lot of things? How about it?
?Did you bring some back?"
"Go!" Wang Xuexin raised his head impatiently: "It's not your share to bring it back!"
Zhou Yuankai laughed and was about to return to the team, but was stopped by Wang Xuexin.
"Team Zhou!" Wang Xuexin said: "Call over Squadron Li, let's find your captain!"
"Great!" Zhou Yuankai's eyes lit up and he thought to himself: He called two squadron leaders in one breath. There must be a big battle to be fought, so he excitedly called Li Dongcheng.
Several people found Wu Guozhi's office. Wu Guozhi, who was signing documents, quickly stood up and saluted Wang Xuexin, then came up to him and said, "Batalion Commander, when did you come back? You didn't even say a word!"
Wang Xuexin said straight to the point: "I'm here to ask you for two people."
As he spoke, he raised his head towards Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng behind him.
At this time, not only Wu Guozhi was confused, but Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng did not understand what Wang Xuexin was going to do... The Eighth Route Army's planes were all at Wanxian Airport, so what was the use of Wang Xuexin's removal of people?
Wu Guozhi's first thought was that the two transport planes captured by the Eighth Route Army were used to transport people and goods.
Most likely, these two transport planes were originally flown by Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng.
So Wu Guozhi said with an apologetic smile: "Battalion Commander, you have underestimated our aviation brigade. How can we still need the two of them to fly transport planes now? I will arrange a few suitable ones for you..."
"No!" Wang Xuexin said seriously: "This is a military secret. I can't say too much about it, and it's very important!"
Wu Guozhi saw that Wang Xuexin didn't look like he was joking. Although it felt a little painful to see Wang Xuexin go to two outstanding squadron leaders at once, he had no choice but to stand up and answer: "Yes, obey the order!"
So the choice was decided.
The reason why Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng were chosen is because they have rich flying experience and have flown many types of aircraft... They have flown several types of aircraft in the stubborn army before, and also flown transport aircraft, and now they have flown here again.
Hawker 81 has received formal flight training and has seen the world.
only……
When Zhou Yuankai and Li Dongcheng were brought to the warehouse and looked at the two prototypes that looked like toy models, they were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.
