In the storm, the No. 1616 J-16 fighter plane was shaking in the dark, and the sound of dense raindrops as big as soybeans hitting the glass of the cockpit was even clear.
Li Zhan's eyes were shaking. He needed to hold the glass cover with one hand to see the flight data on the instrument panel. The flight trajectory showed that the fighter was inevitably involved in the cloud wall area of "Sana" and there was a huge wave of
The power was sucking the fighter jet into the eyes of the wind, and Li Zhan even suspected that there were many tornadoes on the sea surface.
The expected terminal for communication with Fuzhi was the one that was expected. Fuzhi could only grasp the situation of the No. 1616 J-16 through the radar signal. At this time, Fuzhi had completely lifted the combat state, and all efforts were made for the No. 1616 J-16.
-16 fighter jets return safely. At this time, the threat from nature is more serious than the opponent's threat. Any flight in bad weather can obtain precious data, which is very beneficial to the combat training of the troops under complex meteorological conditions in the future.
When Li Zhan thought of the benefits, he became inexplicably happy.
There are not many opportunities to cross the typhoon circle. Generally speaking, superiors will not approve such flights unless they assist national scientific research projects to conduct meteorological research. But even so, they will not send fighter jets, or aircraft with straight wings that use blade engines.
More suitable.
Of course, except for Li Zhanhui who thought about the future combat training of the troops under complex weather conditions in such a crisis-ridden emergency, everyone else was concerned about whether he could fly back safely.
The development speed of this number of wind ball this year was unexpected, and the impact of cold and warm air on the convection is even more serious than expected, indirectly indicating that there are still many uncertainties in the forecast of weather in modern technology.
If someone asks which aviation support department is the most important, the pilots will say in unison that it is the meteorological department. Only the department is responsible for is a lot of uncertainty and force majeure. As long as the aircraft goes to the sky, it must deal with the weather, from some kind of
From the perspective of the pilot and the farmer are the same type of people - they both rely on the gods to make a living.
The more you understand nature, the more you can survive in harsh climates. If you can fly in weather that the enemy cannot fly, it means that you have absolute initiative and advantages. How important this is to combat is conceivable
of.
Because it is a practical test flight, many additional sensors are installed on the 1616 J-16 fuselage to seek more data during the flight. Unlike the performance test flight, the fighter opportunity is in different battlefield environments under actual test flight.
, if combat activities are carried out in the context of combat, the situations encountered will be diversified and complex.
Zhang Chongming even said that he hoped to obtain some flight data of fighter jets in extreme states, which data were too important.
Chen Fei in the rear cabin once again smelled the breath of death. He has never felt this way since he fell a J-7 more than two years ago. The last danger happened in an instant, without any
While preparing, I didn't even have time to be afraid and passively accepted everything. This time it was different, and I was rushing into the typhoon circle semi-actively.
Perhaps the superior transferred him to work with Li Zhan because his ability to withstand pressure is stronger than that of others. After all, working with a famous contemporary outstanding revolutionary soldier like Li Zhan, he will be on the verge of collapse.
.
Li Zhan found that it was much easier to operate the fighter in such an environment than imagined. The advanced fax control system well balanced the impact of crosswind and airflow, and even automatically attacked the fighter after sensing the tail rudder abnormality.
Other control panels are fine-tuned to accommodate new situations.
The advancedness of the fly-by-wire control system compared to mechanical control systems is usually considered to be summarized in one sentence: let fighter jets fly in the envelope forever.
To give a simple example, when Li Zhan was flying the J-7, he always needed to hold the joystick with one hand. If he did not do this, the attitude of the aircraft would change. If you let the attitude of the aircraft go beyond the envelope, it would cause a crash.
, but if you drive third-generation aircraft such as J-10 or J-11, if you keep your joystick and fly in the original posture, you don’t need to worry that the aircraft’s posture will surpass the envelope.
"Using a telex control system" is regarded as the biggest feature of the third-generation machine and is also the main condition for defining the second-generation machine and the third-generation machine.
The J-16's frequencies are developed from the set of things used in the J-10 series. They are much more advanced than the set used in the su-30mkk, and are said to have received some technical support from the fourth generation aircraft.
, has many latecomer advantages in avionics.
Objectively speaking, among all the air force fighter jets produced by Shenyang Aircraft Factory, the J-16's flexible control system is the most advanced, even more advanced than the J-15. Some analysts believe that the J-16 has been developed for more than ten years.
The reason for the prototype is that new technologies are constantly used during the research and development process, such as advanced cockpit technology that overflows from the fourth-generation aircraft project.
Shenfei Factory learned a lesson, and did not make blind progress when carrying out the J-16 project. It also put down its big brother's aura and humbly asked Chengfei Factory for advice and learning. Therefore, it has the appearance that is exactly the same as the su-30mkk, but the inner changes are completely changed.
The J-16.
It was also because of Li Zhan’s confidence at this time.
If it was now running a second-generation aircraft of J-7 or J-8, Li Zhan would definitely not be as confident as he is now. Perhaps a strong sideways come over the J-7 or J-8 and will fall head-on.
Go to the sea.
Li Zhan suddenly had a surprise discovery - using the crosswind to offset the error torque of the tail rudder. He carefully felt the rules of air flow during the storm and storm, and tried to adjust the elevation and roll angle of the fighter. The fighter actually
It can really keep flying in a straight line.
He said excitedly, "Fuzhi, the air flow in the cloud wall is regular, and the error effect of the tail rudder can be offset by the crosswind. Please inform the comrades of the maritime search and rescue team to return. I can fly back, it's over!"
The sea conditions within dozens of kilometers of the coastline have been in a mess. The strong typhoon has brought waves of five or six meters high, which is very dangerous for the ships of the maritime search and rescue team. Li Zhan does not want to put other comrades in a dangerous situation for himself.
Besides, he doesn't have to abandon the machine.
It was obvious that Fu Zhi would not agree to him, and the on-duty commander said, "Test 16, the maritime search and rescue team will proceed as planned. You must escape from danger and they can return, and it will be completed."
"Fuzhi, there is no need! I will definitely be able to return safely! It's over!" Li Zhan insisted on his suggestion.
Several search and rescue ships were carrying more than 200 people. If these more than 200 people were in danger to save him, Li Zhan thought it was completely unnecessary! He believed that there was no cost-effectiveness at all!
However, Fuzhi and the superior chief do not think so. Not to mention an excellent test aircraft crew, even an ordinary soldier will invest a lot of search and rescue forces. This is not a matter of cost-effectiveness, but a principle of the army!
I will not give up any hope, and I will not abandon anyone.
The commander of Fuzhi's duty said seriously: "Test the first six, obey the order! If you are not sure that you must abandon the plane and jump when you fly back! Are you clear?"
The commander got angry.
"I understand! I understand the test!"
Li Zhan was very helpless. The way in front of him was to fly out of the cloud wall area as soon as possible. Only in this way would the superiors let the sea search and rescue team that was risking to go out to sea return. He asked the fighter plane to fly north, and the direction of the return should be northwest, which made Fuzhi on duty.
The commander was confused.
"What do he want to do?" The commander on duty frowned, feeling that Comrade Li Zhan was angry.
The staff around him did not know the key points, so he quickly whispered to the meteorologist.
The meteorologist grabbed a handful of pencil tips and threw them into the file box. The pencil tips scattered everywhere and said seriously, "The airflow in the cloud wall area is almost like this. In the case of strong convection, the airflow is irregular. If
If you have to say that there is a rule, then no rule is its rule. The pilot said he could use the crosswind to keep the fighter flying directly, and I don’t know how he did it.”
The staff officer waved his hand and said, "No matter how he did it, the fact is that he has ensured to fly directly, but he is flying north. Is there any correct consideration for flying north from a meteorological perspective?"
The weatherman said, "Yes, Sana is moving northwest. He can fly northwards and get out of the cloud wall area faster with the wind. The pilot has a lot of ideas."
The staff officer looked at the commander on duty, "Head?"
"Well, pay close attention to the weather changes in the cloud wall area." The duty commander nodded slightly.
The communications officer suddenly said, "The communications are interrupted again, and they may have entered the thunderstorm area!"
The atmosphere in the tower became solemn again.
The communication between the Fuzhi and the 1616 J-16 has been intermittent, completely judging the electromagnetic environment in the airspace where the fighter is located. If you can't contact, you can only rely on the signals detected by the radar to determine the latest trend of the 1616 J-16.
.
"He should be able to get out of the cloud wall area in five minutes!" the radar operator reported.
The red dot of the No. 1616 J-16 broke northward at a speed of about 380 kilometers per hour, and the heart that everyone raised high on the tower slowly lowered as the red dot moved.
"Huh? He is turning left, and the angle of the turn is very large!" The radar operator suddenly reported loudly.
Because "Sana" moved northwest, the No. 1616 J-16 will turn left and rush into the cloud wall area again, and all the efforts made before will be wasted.
The combat staff frowned and said, "Has he been flew?"
There is this possibility that some instruments of fighter jets will have large errors or even fail in an environment of strong electromagnetic interference, especially those deployed on the surface of the induction end such as airspeed meters and horizons.
The commander on duty grabbed the sender and called the No. 1616 J-16, "Test 16 received the answer! Test 16! You are deviating! Test 16!"
There is no echo, only the electromagnetic interference sound.
It is about to successfully escape from the cloud wall area. At this time, stagnation will lead to catastrophic consequences. The No. 1616 J-16 has been flying in the air for more than three hours. They must not have much fuel, and the tail rudder is malfunctioning.
In the case of this, the plane will be out of control and crash at any time.
"Test 16th!" The voice of the on-duty commander echoed in the tower command room.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavier. Seeing the 1616 J-16 turning around and preparing to go on the old path, it was difficult for him to withstand the tearing of the "Sana" wind ball cloud wall area where the wind power was gradually increasing.
The J-16 No. 1616 is doomed. The commander on duty said in a deep voice, "Send the plane's location to the maritime search and rescue team to speed up the speed."
"yes!"
Before the staff officer could convey the order, the weatherman suddenly raised his hand and said loudly, "Boss! Sana has made a major change!"
The commander on duty strode over, and the meteorologist pointed to the huge display screen and said excitedly, "Sana turned! Look at the trend of the cloud group, the clouds are gathering north, and Sana is turning north!"
It took a few seconds before the on-duty commander reacted and couldn't help but slamming the high and said excitedly: "Good guy! Perfect departure! How did he know that Sana would turn north? He is better than the meteorological observatory?"
The meteorologist laughed and didn't know where to explain it. Based on the latest data, he quickly calculated the latest movement path of "Sana" and drew it on the picture. After carefully reading it, he couldn't help but laugh, "Boss, this is
Sana's latest movement trend, see where you go north."
"Japan?" The duty commander raised his eyebrows, inexplicably happy, but looked very painful on the surface.
The meteorologist couldn't help laughing, but his face was full of heavy faces and said, "It is likely to be strengthened. There is no suspense when the maximum wind speed exceeds level 18. The most powerful one is very likely to trigger a tsunami."
The young combat consultant was so happy that he couldn't help but feel happy. Suddenly, everyone's faces were heavy and said unconfidently, "Why am I happy and you are in a heavy mood? Could it be that I am too narrow-minded?"
"No, just because you're a normal person."
The duty commander said solemnly, "We are normal people, but we are happy in our hearts and do not show it like you. After all, we are all the people around the world in the face of great disasters and disasters, and we are all the people in the world and are all one family!"
Now everyone can't hold back anymore, and laughed.
The question is, how did Li Zhan know that "Sana" would turn, and the steering speed was so fast. Chen Fei, who was sitting in the back cabin, didn't know anything, let alone others. In fact, Chen Fei also felt that Li Zhan's choice just now
It was puzzled, but he did not disturb Li Zhan. It was not until he gradually felt that the flight posture of the fighter plane had stabilized, that he realized that he had left the cloud wall area.
He couldn't help but ask, "Why is this happening?"
Li Zhan smiled and said, "Sana turned north. I kept turning left and avoided its popularity. I accelerated the turn and flight speed along the error value of the tail rudder. I would take more than 120 kilometers.
You can see the coastline."
At this time, Chen Fei noticed that the number of the locator that had just jumped back to normal, and quickly calculated the latitude and longitude. Sure enough, it was only more than one hundred kilometers away from the coastline.
"How do you know that Sana will turn?" Chen Fei was very puzzled. This kind of prediction cannot be predicted by just counting his fingers. Moreover, the visibility at this time was zero and there was no way to see the situation outside. How could Li Zhan judge?
Li Zhan said, "I will teach you when I come back."
"Fu points to Fu points, test the first sixth call, it's over." Li Zhan tried to call Fu points.
The commander on duty of Fuzhi was so excited that he started to pick up the sending machine: "Test 16! I am Fuzhi! How is the plane going? It's over!"
"No more problems have occurred. I have left the cloud wall area and requested to lower the Gaoqi Airport, and it will be completed." Li Zhan asked for instructions.
The duty commander was stunned and asked, "Can other backup sites be OK?"
"I can't get there, the fuel consumption is not normal. I suspect there is an leakage, it's over." Li Zhan said.
Chen Fei was shocked when he said this. He did not notice any abnormality in the fuel gauge. In the situation just now, no one could not analyze whether the fuel gauge drops normally. But Li Zhan obviously was early
I noticed it and found the problem.
Chen Fei felt deeply moved. Li Zhan has really become a veteran driver.
The duty commander replied, "Test 6 can prepare for Gaoqi Airport to lower the test, contact the Southeast District to adjust the frequency, the frequency is 124.78. Next, you can follow his command and it will be finished!"
"Contact Southeast District to adjust the frequency, 124.78, understand!"
ps: Some readers think that the speed unit is wrong, and answer this question: The airspeed unit used by the troops is kilometers per hour, the altitude is meters, and the distance is kilometers. Only civil aviation will use kilometres, feet, and miles.
