"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Our fighter planes are of the first generation and we don't have any experience to draw from. The better we understand the fighter planes, the better it will be for our experimental training," Li Hai said.
Mao Lele scratched his head and said, "We use special textbooks. What you are looking at is the second-year undergraduate textbook for the mechanical engineering major."
"You also know?" Li Hai turned around and asked with a smile.
Mao Lele said, "Several of my classmates majored in aircraft maintenance. They all failed the physical examination when they were recruited to fly, so they settled for the next best thing and became aircraft maintenance."
"Well, you are right." Li Hai said, "My idea is very simple. The more you understand the performance of the Flying Shark fighter, the more confident you will be when it flies, including of course the airborne fire control system."
Mao Lele deeply remembered it, nodded heavily, and suddenly felt more pressure. Li Hai was the best among the pilots in the growth class, and he also served as the captain of a frigate. He was so powerful and worked so hard, how could he not
It puts a lot of pressure on this newbie.
He originally wanted to lie down for a while, but now he didn't feel tired at all, so he took out the book he brought and started studying.
The dormitory, which had a human touch for the first time, quickly became quiet, with only the sounds of turning books and taking notes.
Like them, Zhu Wei and Luo Xun didn't take a break either. They met not to study, but to discuss the training plan. One of them was the team leader and the other was the deputy team leader. They were responsible for the ejection take-off test training project, and they were both part of the organization.
The person is also the executor.
During the reconstruction of this base, they often ran here and were very familiar with the situation.
Seeing Zhu Wei light up another cigarette, Luo Xuan said, "Smoke less, your lung capacity will be affected."
"It's not a big problem." Zhu Wei took a breath and slowly spit it out.
Luo Falcon shook his head and said with a smile, "I really envy you guys who have been flying on the plateau for a long time. Your lung capacity is very strong."
"I was grounded three years earlier than you, what's there to be envious about?" Zhu Wei said with a smile.
Zhu Wei first served in the Second Air Division, and was later transferred to the Western Falcon Brigade. A few years later, he joined the Flying Shark Force, and the Western Falcon Brigade is a serious plateau force.
"Conduct one month of basic training first, and then move to takeoff training. Be more prudent." Luo Xuan looked at the draft of the training plan and put forward his opinion.
Zhu Wei pulled up the timeline and said, "It's the end of August now, four months into this year, and the headquarters requires a draft of the training outline this year. One month of basic training is a bit long."
"Li Hai has been away from the aviation force for so long, and Mao Lele is a new pilot. Without solid basic training, problems will easily arise later," Luo Xun said.
Obviously, for these old seabirds who have rich experience in J-15 flight, there is no problem of a weak foundation. And given the actual situation of Li Hai and Mao Lele, Luo Falcon's concerns are justified.
"Mr. Zhang asked the two of them to join the experimental training group. Of course, he had comprehensive considerations. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to arrange for all veteran pilots to come here? So, your worries do not exist. I suggest that we just do a week of basic training, and then directly
Eject." Zhu Wei insisted on his opinion.
Luo Xuan thought carefully for a while and realized that he was a little forward-thinking. This kind of thinking is not allowed in experimental training. He immediately nodded, "Okay, I agree with your opinion. However, if the basic training effect is not good, it must be
Extension of time."
"I am very sure of that."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a staff officer came to the base to lead Li Hai and Mao Lele to understand the entire base's facilities, especially the ejection runway.
The staff officer's name is Liu Zuofei, with the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Army. He is wearing a Type 21 combat training uniform. The armband is the armband of the Equipment Development Department, which bears the August 1st Army flag, rather than a unit directly under the Equipment Development Department. This shows that Liu Zuofei is the real one.
From the Equipment Development Department Headquarters.
Li Hai could not sense any military atmosphere from Liu Zuofei. His conversation and behavior were full of intellectuals. Obviously, he was a highly educated technical officer.
"This is the ejection runway. Have you noticed the slide rails on both sides?" Liu Zuofei stood on the side of the catapult slide, pointing to both sides of the runway and asked.
Li Hai took a closer look and saw that there was a slide rail on both sides, which was longer than the catapult slide rail, and said, "See, what is that for?"
"As for the slide rails in our work shed, we will regularly simulate the maritime environment in the work shed to test the working conditions of the catapult in various environments." Liu Zuofei continued to introduce, "This runway was built according to the specifications of the take-off runway of the No. 3 ship.
, the length is five meters longer than that of the No. 2 ship.”
He looked at Li Hai and Mao Lele with a smile, "Don't underestimate the length of five meters, it can increase the take-off weight by several tons."
Everyone knows how big, long and wide the No. 3 ship is. As expected, the standard displacement should be 80,000 tons. Based on the redundancy of a large aircraft carrier, the maximum displacement should exceed 90,000 tons. However,
, these data are core secrets even if they are put into service.
"What's the maximum takeoff weight?" Li Hai asked.
According to reliable information, the maximum take-off weight of the Ford's electromagnetic catapult has reached 45 tons. Li Hai has done analysis, and he believes that this data is very close to the real parameters. The C13-B neat catapult equipped with the Nimitz class
, with a stroke of 99 meters, it can accelerate a 30-ton carrier-based aircraft to a departure speed of 220-300 kilometers within 2 seconds. The electromagnetic catapult equipped with the Ford has a stroke of 110 meters, which is much longer than the C13-B model.
At 11 meters, it is still a more advanced electromagnetic ejection.
Liu Zuofei smiled and asked Li Hai, "Have you signed the confidentiality agreement? The one for fifty years."
Li Hai nodded, and Mao Lele quickly replied, "Signed, Liu Shen."
Immediately, Liu Zuofei gave some data, and Li Hai and Mao Lele fell silent.
The answer was shocking, like a dream.
Liu Zuofei said with a smile, "Academician Ma is my teacher, and our data is not watery at all, but rather conservative. In short, a 40-ton aircraft can be ejected like a stone, without any effort at all."
Li Hai gave a thumbs up, which was sincere.
Liu Zuofei led the two of them forward, "This is the landing area. It is built in full accordance with the specifications and has all kinds of facilities. In order to ensure your training, Feisha Base has transferred a complete support team here.
You can see me during the meeting in the evening."
Li Hai examined it carefully.
This is a training area that completely simulates the flight deck of the No. 3 ship. It is very similar to the Flying Shark Base, but it is much larger, and it has an oblique angle and a straight deck, so the area is very large. From the length and width data, the three
After the USS is completed, the flight deck area will not be much smaller than that of the USS Ford.
The deck console to support the ship's landing, the fully buried observation platform for ejection and take-off, the electromagnetic catapult system, etc. Most of these components are built below the ground. Therefore, although what appears on the surface is simple
Just a few marking lines and blocking ropes must be a large and intricate project underground.
Mao Lele was not as calm as Li Hai. He jumped around and looked around. The more he looked, the more excited he became. This simulated flight deck was just like the flight deck of the No. 3 ship, except that there was no island. He knew very well that the test
After the training, he was one of the first batch to board the No. 3 ship.
He is the only one among his batch of growth class pilots.
The No. 3 ship is a serious all-straight flight deck aircraft carrier, a real aircraft carrier.
He had flown a hundred takeoffs and landings on the No. 1 ship, more than Li Hai, and had a deep understanding of ski jump takeoffs.
The J-15 is a heavy carrier-based fighter with a standard take-off weight of 28 tons. In fact, in daily training, the take-off weight does not exceed 25 tons. This results in that it can only be filled with half of the fuel and a few empty missiles during take-off.
In a word, ski-jump takeoff seriously limits the J-15's advantages.
The catapult take-off method allows the J-15 to fully leverage the advantages of a heavy carrier-based fighter, with a large range and large bomb load. Of course, it can also fully utilize the performance of a new type of carrier-based fighter.
At this time, Li Hai was squatting beside the ejection take-off rail. While looking carefully, he was also thinking about the experimental training project.
It is necessary to explore ejection take-off training methods and test electromagnetic ejection systems. In fact, both of these tasks can be carried out at the Feisha Base. Building an electromagnetic ejection runway there is more in line with actual needs. Putting it in this Gobi desert
Is it just for confidentiality reasons?
He always felt that it was not that simple.
It is surrounded by hundreds of kilometers of desolate land and is a natural testing ground for a variety of weapons. The harsh natural environment here is a severe test for all types of weapons and equipment.
Putting the electromagnetic ejection system here for experimental training probably has more considerations.
Will new carrier-based fighter jets be used for testing?
Thinking of this, Li Hai couldn't help but smile. If this is true, it would be a huge profit. The Navy has not yet determined the plan for the next generation of carrier-based fighter jets. Shen Hoy has been working hard, and the prototypes have been modified again and again.
, after that, we will continue in-depth development and research based on the technology transfer of the J-20, as if you will lose a lot if you don’t use my aircraft.
So there is no news about what plan Chengluo Ma will come up with.
However, in the next few years, the J-15 will definitely still play the leading role.
Li Hai stood up and looked at the dust on his palms, shook his clothes, and realized that in this experimental base, the harsh environment would be more difficult than he imagined.
Putting the electromagnetic catapult system here for testing fully reflects the strong confidence of the R&D team. You must know that this thing is a precision system. It can withstand the invasion of salt, but it may not be able to withstand the temper of wind and sand. The problem is, at sea
Do equipment need to consider the impact of wind and sand?
This is what Li Hai can't understand.
After watching the ejection runway for nearly an hour under the scorching sun, and with their mouths dry, Li Hai and the other three headed to the hangar. It was time to take a look at their loyal partners for some time to come. ()
