Chapter 561 It's not his flying style, it's not right!
The French also had high efficiency, for example, now, especially when Monet reported that a pilot among his Chinese friends was quite familiar with the Rafale fighter, the base commander came over and approved Li Zhan to fly the Rafale fighter alone for thirty minutes.
Flying.
Several countries have the intention to purchase Rafale fighter jets, but only Egypt, Qatar, and India signed the intention and even paid a deposit. It is not because Rafale fighter jets are not as good as other fighter jets, and the comprehensive performance of Rafale fighter jets is ranked among the top ten in the world.
Even further ahead, the biggest obstacle to external sales is the selling price.
The Rafale fighter is like a flying Leclerc tank, with advanced performance but also very expensive!
Qatar plans to spend about US$10 billion to purchase 36 Rafale fighter jets. Of course, the contract includes technology, service support, pilot training, and supporting weapons and ammunition, with an average price of nearly US$300 million!
Even if the unit price of fighter jets accounts for half of the average price, the price of each Rafale fighter is $150 million, which is far beyond the f-35a. The f-22 is only over $200 million.
Such a high price has turned away most countries.
Just look at the countries that have determined to purchase Rafale fighter jets. Qatar is small but is a major oil exporter with rich oil, no less than the big dogs. Egypt has always been a traditional user of French fighter jets, and has been historically influenced by France.
One of the reasons why pilots went to the Rafale M fighter unit for learning and communication.
Even if you don’t know how to buy the whole machine, it is definitely something that the Chinese Navy is very interested in for paying the right price. The French believe that the Rafale fighter has such value, and they are even mentally prepared to sell it to China.
The Rafale fighter is equipped with a Rolls-Royce ej200 aircraft engine.
Because they think the Rafale fighter is stronger than the Su-35!
In view of this aspect, the base commander approved Li Zhan's plan to fly the Rafale fighter alone. Of course, he had to fly a two-seater before that. Only after passing Monet's targeting assessment could Li Zhan fly alone.
The French are very proud of their face, which is very difficult.
On the contrary, Mo Ren'an became worried and quietly pulled Li Zhan aside in the flight briefing room and whispered, "Li Zhan, I know you, to be honest, I don't doubt you can fly the gust of wind alone, but you have the luck.
I'm afraid there are some problems. The dangers have been with you in the past four years. What should I do if I fall and run into it in a foreign country?"
Li Zhan was so amazed and crying, but he found that Mo Ren'an had no intention of joking, so he quickly became serious and said in a deep voice, "Captain, please believe me. First of all, it won't be so unlucky, and secondly, I have the confidence to land safely."
"When going out, it means the country. You really have to be more at ease. I'm afraid that you will forget to get too hard when you get on the sky, so you'll be too hard to break the plane." Mo Ren'an frowned and was really worried.
When Russia sent a su-35 and su-27sm to exchange in Beikuang, Li Zhan broke a su-27sm. After one kick, the plane was still on the takeoff line. Two rounds exploded. Fortunately, it was su-
27sm, if it is su-35, I don’t know how much I have to pay.
There is no plane that cannot be driven in the world, only pilots who are not strong enough.
Li Zhan promised, "Captain, I promise not to exceed the flight envelope. My original purpose was to test the actual envelope of the gust, and there would definitely be no excessive manipulation!"
As soon as this was said, Mo Ren'an's blood pressure soared. Isn't this kind of control that tests the actual envelope of the Rafale fighter?
What else should I say? Monet, who was preparing there, greeted him loudly. Li Zhan gave Mo Ren'an a calm look and walked over quickly. Under Monet's guidance, he changed into the flight suit of the French naval pilot.
Not to mention that their flight suits and gear feel good when worn, and they also have many functions, especially the electronic knee plates on the left thigh, missions, flight plans, aviation maps, latest weather data and other information can be stored in it.
The pilot only needs to lower his head and then use touch control to retrieve the required information.
There are two touch-controlled monitors in the cockpit, and the wrinkle-free flight gloves are very close to the hands, allowing the pilot to accurately touch the target area. The touch button display is also a highlight of the Rafale fighter cockpit, although it is well-deserved.
.
"I will take you to fly once. During this period, you will have the opportunity to operate the fighter as I said. In the end, I will decide whether you can fly the Rafale fighter alone for half an hour to experience the flight." Monet said to Li Zhan.
.
Li Zhan said decisively, "No problem, please be careful with Colonel Monet."
Monet lifted up his flight helmet and signaled Li Zhan to walk out together, saying, "Of course, I think you have the ability to fly Rafale fighter alone. I will not read it wrong. You must have received Rafale fighter flight training."
Li Zhan said helplessly, "It's really never."
After smiling, Monet stopped mentioning it, and instead said, "Can you talk to me in detail after experiencing the flight?"
"No problem." Li Zhan agreed readily.
Walking out of the flight briefing room, a convertible commuter car sent them to the parking space, and the rest were all transferred to the command tower to watch. In the afternoon of Europe, Monet put on flying sunglasses, looking cool, but when Lee
Zhan couldn't help but feel the plane being accepted by him wearing flying sunglasses and the ground crew - can he see clearly what the checklist is?
Li Zhan looked at the ground staff again. In addition to the uniform tops, there were all other things to wear. There was even a female soldier wearing makeup and nail polish. Li Zhan had to worry about whether the plane was really ready for flight.
.Looking at Monet and the others' commonplace appearance, it is obviously their norm.
Since the abolition of the conscript system and the change to the volunteer system in 2001, the French army's conscription has encountered considerable difficulties. If it weren't for the fact that life was really unwilling to be a soldier, the result was that there was a large increase in color in the French army, but
High-end troops like pilots are still not a big problem, but it is difficult to recruit high-quality soldiers for positions such as ground staff.
Li Zhan didn't care and quietly followed Monet to accept the plane. His life was important. He even suspected that the French military-industrial enterprises were desperately developing weapons and equipment in a perfect direction, which was considered as lowering the quality of French soldiers, and it seemed that they were not reliable.
Spectrum. In the past two years, the frequent failures of the ship were not only due to quality problems, but also because of the reasons why daily maintenance standards could not keep up.
When boarding the plane, the ground crew didn't even look at Li Zhan, as if everything was common, which made Li Zhan feel strange. Perhaps Singapore also had the intention to buy Rafale fighter jets, so it had even come over to test flights many times?
Li Zhan sat in the rear cabin. The Rafale B two-seat fighter, which mainly focuses on training and teaching, has control systems in the front and rear cabins, but the priority is in the front cabin, which means that the front cabin pilot can directly take over the control rights of the rear cabin pilot without needing it.
Obtain the consent of the rear cabin pilot.
After the tower issued the order, an as532 "Cougar" search and rescue helicopter took off and quickly moved to the low-altitude area on one side of the runway to hover, and the standard aircraft carrier-based fighter operation procedures were used to release carrier-based fighter aircraft.
Monet glided to the takeoff line and handed over the control power to Li Zhan, saying, "Major Li, I will hand it over to you next. I will take over your control power at any time, if I think I need it."
"I understand." Li Zhan became a different person when he sat in the fighter plane. His words were concise and clear, his movements were straightforward and clear, and his actions were full of confidence.
The plane he can't drive has not been built in this world.
"Sizzy, sheepdog can take off." Accompanied by the sound of electromagnetic interference, the command tower issued an order. In order to take care of Li Zhan and the others, they changed to command in English, which was quite rare.
French people prefer dog breeding, and sheepdogs are ranked first, and their radio codes usually like to use various canine names.
“The shepherd dog received.”
Li Zhan braked the brakes and pushed the accelerator lever forward with his left hand. The two m88 aircraft engines suddenly let out a irritable roar, but Li Zhan noticed that the tremor of the fuselage was not obvious, which shows that the design of the engine compartment was done.
Very good. Within three seconds, the two rounds reached the maximum thrust, and the landing gear tire brake could no longer control the fighter. Li Zhan took the opportunity to release the brakes, and then a violent back pushing sensation came, which was Li Zhan pulling the rod.
The strongest feeling of pushing back I have ever felt, the fighter suddenly ran forward.
When looking back and looking down, Li Zhan saw that the full-moving canard began to automatically deflect upward by 20 degrees, which can obtain more lift per unit time and shorten the takeoff distance.
Monet was afraid that Li Zhan would fly according to the movements of the simulated cockpit, so he quickly reminded: "The real aircraft flight is different from the simulated cockpit flight."
"Please rest assured."
After reaching the takeoff speed, Li Zhan lifted the wheel steadily, and the fighter took off easily, and then climbed steadily and turned steadily. Monet breathed a sigh of relief and felt very satisfied. He flew so steadily as a veteran Rafale fighter pilot.
It's right.
Li Zhan chuckled softly and didn't know what he was thinking. He flew around the airport as planned. During the process, he made several ordinary maneuvers according to Monet's instructions, rolling, small radius, changing speed, etc., and the movements were
They are very standard, which makes Monet more sure that he once flew over the Rafale fighter.
During the more than ten minutes of flight, Monet basically required Li Zhan to do flight maneuver according to the basic requirements of their new pilot solo assessment. Li Zhan completed it very well. The most important thing about the whole process is that it is very stable.
Not a slight awkward feeling.
Even the base commander nodded frequently and told Mo Ren'an that you pilots are really good and have a very high level.
However, Mo Ren'an looked a little forced and smiling, because Li Zhan didn't look like Li Zhan at this moment, he flew too steadily! And before taking off, Li Zhan personally told him that he wanted to test the actual flight bag of the Rafale fighter.
Line, so you can test the yarn flight envelope in such a step-by-step manner!
This is not right, this is not his style!
Maybe he changed his mind because he was driving someone else's plane outside, right?
