There is no doubt that the aviation fuel label used by the J-6 is definitely different from that of the third-generation fighter.
The most critical thing is that the J-6 series fighter jets have been retired for many years, and they are no longer even used in aviation schools. If you want to find suitable fuel, you can't find them.
Jiang Xin said, "However, you can try to see if the current fuel is suitable, and then decide whether to continue repairing the J-6."
She already knew that Li Hai planned to use two J-6s for flight training. She felt that Li Hai was a relatively frivolous person and would only think out of his mind.
The boss agreed, but I really don’t know what the superiors thought.
However, she is a technical cadre. She does not care about matters other than technical matters, but she will make suggestions. As for whether to adopt them or not, that is a matter for military cadres.
"Test the car first and then install it?" Li Hai considered, shaking his head slightly, "This will take longer. We are originally racing against time..."
He made up his mind, "Jiang Gong, let's follow the plan and prepare the plane first. Whether it can't fly due to fuel problems or other problems is another matter."
Jiang Xin was surprised and said with a smile, "I didn't expect your thinking to be quite clear. Okay, let's follow the original plan. The engines can be pulled back, and all six of them have to be pulled away."
One spare engine for each aircraft is a requirement. Therefore, two J-6s require six engines, and the number is simply enough.
The six engines were immediately loaded at the old warehouse and taken directly to the small maintenance hangar.
Next, Wu Daoming's maintenance team and Jiang Xin carried out a thorough renovation and repair of the two J-6s. The technical cadres at the master's station heard that the old J-6s were being renovated here, and some who had no work on hand for the time being.
Come and have a look and help make suggestions.
Li Hai and the Party for the People were completely reduced to tool men, doing whatever they were told and how they were told, working harder than the maintenance officers and soldiers.
Party for the People wanted to back down several times, but was persuaded by Li Haisheng.
Li Hai said, "Old Party, think about it, if an old fighter jet that has been in service for more than 20 years and has been retired for ten years is reborn in the hands of you and me and flies high, it would be such a glorious and proud thing.
matter?"
"In the future, we can say to them, look, our buddy not only flies a carrier-based fighter, not only a third-generation and a half fighter, but also a first-generation jet fighter! Serious first-generation fighters, J-6, MiG-10
Nine!"
"Think about it, we have the opportunity to fly the same fighter aircraft that our predecessors used to fight the U.S. and aid Korea. How exciting and exciting this is!"
"Think about it, isn't it?"
Dang Weimin was convinced, agreed with Li Hai's reasons, and went ahead with it.
Five days later, the two J-6s were brand new.
The renovation and maintenance of the two fighter jets was completed in just five days. Firstly, because the structure of the J-6 is simple enough and the technology is far more advanced than it was a few decades ago, it can be completed in a very short period of time.
It took several days of work. Secondly, because the restoration of the old aircraft aroused everyone's great interest, the enthusiasm for the work was unprecedentedly high, and the progress naturally accelerated.
The two J-6s, which had not yet been painted and had mottled primer appearance, were towed to the tarmac outside.
There will be a test run today.
If the test run is successful, the test flight will be carried out directly.
Li Hai became a test pilot without hesitation. He successively conducted test flights of two J-6s to ensure that normal flight training could be carried out before he and the party could use the two J-6s as training aircraft.
Wu Guangwei arrived, and the one who stayed at the tower to direct was Lin Xiaotong.
Knowing that the two classic aircraft had been repaired and that today was the day for test runs, the leader of the training unit of the Red Flag Division also came to the tower, folding his arms and looking here with interest.
Liu Daoming took two of his subordinates to conduct a final inspection of the two J-6s. After confirming that there were no problems, he felt relieved.
Jiang Xin also checked the power system again with the assistance of his comrades, making sure it was normal.
Li Hai came to them with a flying helmet under his arm.
"You must also pay attention to safety when testing cars on the ground. They use the oldest brand of fuel that can be found at the base, which poses safety risks." Jiang Xin warned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. I'll eject as soon as I feel something is wrong. I won't hold back at all, but I think there will be no problem." Li Hai said firmly.
Liu Daoming said, "Xiao Li, don't take it lightly. In short, you must be cautious."
"I understand, please don't worry, old squad leader."
"Let's get started." Liu Daoming nodded slightly.
Lehi stood at attention and saluted them, and they returned the salute solemnly.
"Old Li, be careful." Dang Weimin came over and patted Li Hai heavily on the shoulder.
Li Hai smiled and scolded, "Don't act like a resentful woman. It's just a car rolling on the ground. How nervous are you? Don't worry, brother, I'm fine. Do you know this?"
"Speak properly and don't pretend to be pretentious." Dang Weimin said with eyes wide open.
Li Hai stopped paying attention to him and held the boarding ladder to board the plane.
The cockpit of the J-6 can only be described with a set of words - primitive, crude, small, messy, ugly...
You can add all the bad words you can think of to describe an airplane cockpit.
However, in Li Hai's eyes, nothing is more reliable than these things - this is a purely mechanically operated aircraft! As long as the tie rod is not broken! The aircraft will not go out of control!
Countless times, he heard the older generation of pilots say that the skin on their hands peeled when they pulled the lever, and their legs cramped when they pedaled the rudder. Why, because there was no power assist! Because the hydraulic system didn’t work!
Why are the right arms of older generation pilots thicker than their left arms?
This is the kind of airplane that a real man should fly and the joystick that a real man should use!
Wu Guangwei was in command on the ground. He held a radio transmitter in his hand and gave the order, "Dongyao, you can drive."
"Dongyao understands, you can drive."
The ground power vehicle operator started the button to drive the J-6's two turbojet-6 engines to run. These old-fashioned aircraft do not have the ability to drive alone, which means that if an in-flight parking failure occurs, there will only be one result...
The two turbojet-6s started running smoothly.
Li Hai observed the engine speed and listened carefully to the sound of the engine. Jiang Xin and others looked outside and confirmed that there were no abnormalities inside and outside. Wu Guangwei issued the second command - it was okay to taxi.
At this time, Li Hai put on his flying helmet.
Because it is a flight helmet for third-generation fighter jets, the J-6 does not have a helmet-mounted radio connection function. Although it looks nondescript, the picture of a modern flight helmet paired with an outdated fighter jet is too beautiful.
However, a flight helmet can protect the pilot's head, so Wu Guangwei asked Li Hai to wear it.
Li Hai slowly pushed the accelerator, holding the walkie-talkie transmitter in one hand, and said, "Finger, I'm increasing the speed of the two engines to the maximum. It's over."
"It can be improved steadily. If there is a problem, stop immediately. It's over."
"Dongyao understands, it's over."
The fuel used had the wrong label, and everyone was left hanging in their hearts. There was nothing that could be done about it, unless the J-6 re-flight plan was abandoned.
Suddenly there was a slight explosion from the left engine.
The party for the people said urgently, "There is a breakdown!"
"No." Jiang Xin said calmly, "The residue in the oil line has not been cleaned up. It is normal for some knocking to occur during combustion."
After observing for a while, the sound of the engine gradually became stable. Jiang Xin nodded slightly and said, "No problem. It seems that the turbojet six has a strong ability to adapt to the oil quality."
"Jiang Gong, aren't the oil products backward compatible? Logically speaking, if the Turbojet VI can eat the coarse grains of the past, it can eat the fine grains of today." Dang Weimin was puzzled.
Jiang Xin explained, "This is indeed the case, but this is not an absolute situation. The turbojet VI is the first generation of jet engines, and now it has developed into the fifth generation of turbofan engines. The fuel situation will follow the development of the engine.
Yes, it is normal for it to be incompatible with older engines that are several generations away."
"I understand. In other words, Lao Li is still a bit dangerous."
"It's not a big problem. Let's take a look at the sliding situation."
Jiang Xin is very confident.
Li Hai increased the speed to the maximum, and the two turbojet-6 jet engines burst out with a huge roar. Two tail flames invisible to the naked eye were ejected, and the air was heated and caused fluctuations.
The plane was already moving forward stubbornly. After receiving the order, Li Hai released the brakes, and the old J-6 moved his old legs and accelerated forward, getting faster and faster.
Everyone is worried that this track and field veteran, who is returning to the track, will fall down due to rheumatism while accelerating...
