Wang Yu sat in the cockpit and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
One thing to say, although he had flown a trainer aircraft in previous training, it was a completely different experience from this one.
After all, the trainer plane does not belong to him. There is a trainer monitoring his every move every time he flies.
But it's different now.
When he actually sat in the cockpit of this F-15E, he could clearly feel an inner desire.
The desire to fly freely in the sky.
In the future, this is her own fighting opportunity, and she should answer her call.
His hand gently touched the unlit LCD screen of the fighter plane.
At the same time, he heard Irene's voice ringing in his mind.
"Dear, the assimilation of the fighter plane is completed, it is in good condition and can be started!"
Compared with the previous MiG-21, this F-15E is much better from any angle.
For a machine girl like Irene, it is also a pleasure to assimilate a fighter plane in good condition.
It can be heard from her tone that she is truly happy.
The only regret is that Wang Yu is not the only one in this fighter.
Therefore, in order to keep it secret, Irene cannot appear in the cockpit in her previous villain form.
Wang Yu silently told Eileen that he knew, and then looked back at his back seat.
Liu Lingxin has already sat in the back seat, connected the equipment to the seat, fastened the seat belt, and waited for Wang Yu's driving instructions.
"Are you ready?"
he asked.
The girl smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
So Wang Yu leaned out of the cockpit, signaled the ground crew to remove the boarding ladder, and pushed the fighter plane out of the hangar.
The ground staff understood and a series of tasks were carried out in an orderly manner.
The boarding ladder was removed, and the high-power tractor was connected to the nose landing gear of the fighter. After Wang Yu released the wheel brake safety, with a slight tremor, the fighter began to slowly exit from the gate with the help of the tractor.
Leave the hangar.
Parked on the tarmac, Wang Yu locked the wheels again.
The ground crew connected the ground power supply next to it to the slot on the ventral side of the fighter plane. This saves the process of opening the fighter's battery and directly starts the JFS (jet fuel starter) to drive the fighter's engine.
After the power supply is connected, each system of the fighter jet has power.
There is a narrow area on the side and front of the fighter plane that displays all the warning lights. When the power is first connected, these warning lights are all on, and they must be checked or remade before they can be extinguished.
Wang Yu did the same, and a series of alarms sounded in the cockpit that would make people feel frightened when they sounded in the air.
After the alarm system was checked, most of the alarm lights went out, and only a few were still lit.
But these warning lights will also go out quickly during the startup process.
The F-15E has two upper and lower three-sided LCD screens and a HUD above the console. After powering on, Wang Yu turned the knobs to make them light up. The startup checklist was displayed on the left screen, and the startup checklist was displayed on the right screen.
The self-test content of the flight control system is slightly different on the lower screen. This is a multi-purpose color display. At this time, the upper screen remains on the "SUPT" interface.
"Start the flight control system self-test."
He pressed the self-check button, and the words "Checking" were displayed on the flight control page.
"Inertial navigation switches to ground calibration mode."
Wang Yu turned a knob and then switched the lower screen to the HSI (horizontal attitude indicator).
At the bottom of the screen, there is a countdown showing how long the inertial navigation will take.
After doing these things, it’s time to start the engine.
"Start the engine and keep a safe distance!"
He stuck his head out and asked the ground crew to stay away from the engine.
After confirming safety, he moved the JFS lever to the ON position, and then started the left engine through the switch.
With a sound like a charging rifle, the turbine of the left engine began to rotate with power assistance. There were two small displays under the right screen, using dynamic numbers to display the status of the two engines. p>
Wang Yu watched the speed of the left engine rise slowly, reaching about 15%. Then he pushed the throttle lever of the left engine to the idle position, which meant that the engine began to receive oil supply and the speed increased further.
.
When the speed reaches about 60%, the JFS system automatically goes offline and the left engine starts.
At the same time, the fighter's own generator also started running, and the ground crew removed the ground power supply.
Then, Wang Yu followed suit and started the right engine in the same way.
After all starts are completed, check that the fuel pressure, speed, temperature and other parameters are correct.
In fact, Wang Yu didn't need to check. Irene directly helped him determine these things. For her, whether there is any problem with the engine, or to be precise, the fighter plane, her feeling is more accurate than the display of the instrument.
Wang Yu did this just to go through the process.
He made a gesture of attention to Liu Lingxin, and then closed the cockpit cover of the fighter plane.
The noisy engine noise is isolated.
The high-noise-canceling headphones used by ground staff must be of good quality.
At this time, the flight control check of the fighter jet has been completed, and the FCS interface shows that everything is normal.
After waiting for a few more minutes, the calibration of the inertial navigation system was completed, and Wang Yu rotated the button to the NAV position.
In fact, to this extent, the cold start has been completed, but for Wang Yu and the others, it is still a little far away.
Based on the content on his lap board, Wang Yu began to input the coordinates of several navigation points of this flight plan into the fighter plane, so that the fighter plane's computer could create a flight route on its own, including setting the altitude, estimated time,
Offset, etc...
Soon, a flight route appeared on the HSI screen.
Wang Yu checked the checklist and then asked Liu Lingxin: "The startup is complete, the flight plan is set, and all systems are checked. Are you ready for the rest?"
Liu Lingxin stared with big innocent eyes and raised her hands: "Do you think I need to do anything, sir?"
Well, on a two-seat fighter plane, the pilot is responsible for pre-takeoff inspections, including communications, waypoints and other settings. As for the back seats... well, they are just passengers at this stage.
Not to mention that this flight mission was just a waypoint navigation flight. The fighter plane did not carry any weapons, not even a targeting pod, so this also meant that even if Liu Lingxin was sitting on the plane, the four sides in front of her were displayed side by side.
The screen is all on, but her mission on this flight is to sit quietly and be a passenger.
She also knew this, and after tinkering with the screen in front of her for a while, she began to look outside the cockpit.
"Well, anyway, communication check...Shadao base tower, this is the F-15E Strike Eagle, requesting permission to taxi."
Wang Yu switched to the set communication frequency, contacted the tower, and obtained taxi permission.
"Shadao base tower, you can taxi to runway 09L."
The wheel brakes were released and the fighter began to slowly slide away from the tarmac.
During the taxiing process, Wang Yu still had many things to do, including turning on the air conditioner, turning on the oxygen supply and automatic pressurization in the aircraft, turning on the pitot heating switch, adjusting the flaps to the takeoff gear, making sure the engine speed remained normal, etc... After taxiing for a few minutes, the fighter jet arrived at the runway. Wang Yu pressed down the ejection seat safety and waited for the tower's takeoff permission.
"F-15E is ready to take off. The ground wind is 3 meters per second, the wind direction is 090, and the corrected sea pressure is 1002. Contact the departure frequency after takeoff. I wish you a smooth flight."
"Thank you very much."
Wang Yu gently pushed the throttle lever to let the fighter plane turn onto the runway.
"Chi Feng, we are about to take off, get ready."
Since he is on a fighter plane, Wang Yu will directly use the code name instead of his real name when calling the back seat.
"I'm always ready, sir."
Liu Lingxin immediately replied, she seems to have a lively personality.
"Where's Erin, are you ready?"
Wang Yu asked in his heart.
"Of course, don't worry, dear."
Wang Yu nodded.
Okay, let's go.
Push the throttle lever forward to the military position, the engine output is normal, release the brake, and turn on afterburner.
The fighter jet roared loudly and accelerated on the straight runway.
