Chapter 500: Annihilation and Reconnaissance Eight Trial Navigation
500 Jianzhen 8 trial flight
There was silence in the briefing room.
For a while.
"Political Commissar, it seems that we have no other choice but to make an alternate landing here and supplement our efforts at their airport!" Yang Feng, captain of the First Flying Group, pointed to a point on the map.
The other two people nodded.
Chen Fei was silent for a long time and could only sigh and agreed with Yang Feng's opinion.
It's a bit troublesome to make a backup landing at other airports. You have to contact them, communicate in advance, and build a good relationship, but there is no better way.
The J-8 tactical reconnaissance aircraft has outstanding advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can run fast and fly high. However, the shortcomings of this guy are also obvious. It has a poor range and is commonly known as short legs. Its range is even lower than that of the J-7.
Some of the newer models are still too short, even if they are equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks, they cannot travel 3,000 kilometers.
Therefore, there are only two ways to solve this problem, refueling in the air, or diverting to another airport.
Chen Fei does know how to do aerial refueling. After all, he has master-level fighter piloting experience. How could he not even know this skill? However, the 107th Brigade has not conducted training on aerial refueling related subjects. Even Li Yunfei does not know how to do it.
Therefore, this plan can only be abandoned. Therefore, Chen Fei and the others have only one option to choose, which is to make a backup landing at another airport to replenish aviation fuel.
"Political Commissar, I have another question. We have never flown this new aircraft before. Should we do some adaptive training?" A pilot asked Chen Fei.
"Of course, our adaptability training will be scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm the first batch. I've tried it. Yang Feng is coming. Yang Feng is over. You two are going together!"
"clear!"
Time flies by so fast and it’s the next day in a blink of an eye.
Chen Fei arrived at the briefing room early, but when he arrived at the briefing room, he found that Yang Feng and others were earlier than him.
"Why are you earlier than me? Isn't it because you are nervous?" Chen Fei joked with a smile.
"Political commissar, I'm not entirely nervous, I'm also a little excited."
"A little excited, a lot nervous?" Chen Fei asked.
Yang Feng and the other two team members looked at each other and laughed sheepishly.
"Xiao Zhao, open the door!" Chen Fei motioned to the guard at the door.
"Yes, Chief!"
The armed guard opened the door of the briefing room, but when Chen Fei and others walked in, he closed the door again.
There was no briefing room in 107 before, but now, it has appeared. This proves that 107 will have to go on missions frequently in the future, and these are very top-secret missions, so there must be a place like a briefing room.
The briefing rooms are equipped with two people and two posts, and are guarded 24 hours a day with guns and live ammunition.
In the briefing room, Chen Fei spread out a large-scale military map.
Yang Feng and others immediately gathered around and looked at the map together.
"Our mission today is to fly about a thousand kilometers along this line, a thousand kilometers in the past, and a thousand kilometers back. The total adds up to two thousand kilometers. It should be enough for us to get familiar with this old guy, right?
"Chen Fei glanced at Yang Feng and others.
"Yes Commissar."
"Two thousand kilometers is enough!"
"Political commissar, are you always flying at high altitude and high speed, or are you?" Yang Feng asked.
"Today's task is not only to be familiar with the aircraft, but also to be familiar with the geographical terrain and climate of this area."
"Understood!" Yang Feng and others raised their chests and answered loudly.
The next few people studied this route carefully, mainly to familiarize themselves with the various situations on this route, and to discuss how to deal with any situation encountered. Everyone must have multiple sets of backup plans, and each set of
All backup plans need to be kept in mind.
After familiarizing themselves with the route, the group of four came to the airport again and got familiar with the brand new J-8FR.
"Chief, this aircraft actually uses the flight control system of the J-10. The one-level and three-click display shows that the avionics have basically been replaced. The 23mm cannon has been removed and replaced with a high-speed camera. However, in most places it is the same as the old J-10.
Almost eight.”
The technician sent by the superior introduced in a deep voice.
Tactical reconnaissance aircraft are different from ordinary aircraft. First of all, they are not mass-produced. There are only a few aircraft in a batch, so this will lead to a situation that although it is the same type of aircraft, the driving experience may be completely different.
, Moreover, many reconnaissance aircraft are made to order and are directly customized by the manufacturers according to the needs of the troops, so the same J-8, the Navy's and the 107th Brigade's are definitely different.
At this time, the batch equipped by Chen Fei and others is the new J-8.
The old J-8 still had to carry a reconnaissance pod. The new J-8 has integrated the function of the reconnaissance pod into the fighter. Even the cannon has been cancelled. It has been changed from part-time to full-time. It seems that there is not much change, but in fact
It's a completely different situation.
"Chief, why don't you go up and feel it?" The technician talked a lot, and then said to Chen Fei with a smile.
Chen Fei nodded, climbed up the boarding ladder, and sat in the cockpit.
The old 107 also had the J-8, but it was an old one, so when Chen Fei sat in the cockpit of the brand new J-8FR and saw an instrument panel that was even neater, more modern and advanced than the SU-27SK, he was filled with emotion.
After admiring it and getting familiar with each interface and buttons, Chen Fei nodded towards the technician.
"Political Commissar, how about I do it?" Yang Feng said, feeling a little worried.
This is equivalent to the first test flight of the new J-8 to 107. This kind of mission should not be carried out by the top military leaders of the 107. It is their captains who have the unshirkable responsibility.
However, Chen Fei still refused. If it was an old aircraft, no one else would have the experience with this new aircraft.
"I'd better do it, you can just watch from the tower!" Chen Fei smiled and put on his flight helmet. The mechanic quickly helped Chen Fei connect the radio of the flight helmet and the oxygen mask. After that, he handed over
A checklist came over, and Chen Fei checked one item at a time. After each item was checked, he put a check mark behind the corresponding item on the list. After the inspection was completed, Chen Fei signed his name on the checklist, and then put the checklist
Passed it to the mechanic, who took the checklist and looked at it, then raised his hand and patted Chen Fei's helmet, and then climbed down the boarding ladder.
This series of actions is no different from the old 107.
Chen Fei turned his head and made a gesture to the ground crew. The ground crew responded with a gesture and then removed the boarding ladder. Chen Fei closed the canopy. Wang Defeng, the captain of the maintenance team on one side, and several other maintenance crews came towards him.
Chen Fei gave a thumbs up, and Chen Fei raised his right hand wearing a white labor protection glove to salute. After the salute, he gently pushed the throttle lever, and the fighter plane began to taxi.
The technician just introduced that the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine of this new J-8 reached 7.5. Chen Fei pushed the throttle lever and couldn't help but nodded. This power is not bad.
Chen Fei slid into the take-off position.
"Tower, I'm turning on the afterburner!" he radioed.
"You can turn on the afterburner!"
Chen Fei opened the flaps to the take-off position, pushed the throttle lever all the way, and released the brakes.
The two engines suddenly let out a terrifying roar, and blue flames spurted out from the nozzles!
boom--
Jian Zhenba roared and ran out.
Five hundred and thirty-eight meters later, Chen Fei pulled the control stick, and the J-8 climbed diagonally upwards at a 45-degree angle while turning left.
"Tower, the power is good, and the afterburner feels better than the old model!" Chen Fei reported while driving, telling the other three companions his feelings.
"Dongyao, the height is six thousand!"
"Understood, the altitude is 6,000 meters!" Chen Fei replied. He pulled the plane to an altitude of 6,000 meters, and then pressed the control stick to level the plane.
"Tower, I'm going to do a high-altitude, high-speed flight, over!"
"Dongyao, testing is allowed, keep the altitude on course, completed."
The altitude of six thousand meters is actually not that high. If you change to another place, even the old station of 107, you would not dare to fly at this altitude. However, Dongchang is vast and boundless, and there is no one nearby. In terms of the relevant training airspace area
With an area of 1,000 square kilometers, it is the largest land and air training ground in the country, so you can fly at will and do whatever you want at an altitude of 6,000 meters.
"Dongyao understands!" Chen Fei replied with a breath. After a moment, he pushed the throttle lever to accelerate. The speed of the fighter became faster and faster, as if it turned into an afterimage, and flew away in the air with a whoosh.
Chen Fei felt this new aircraft with his heart.
"Not bad! Not bad!" The more he opened, the more satisfied he became.
Our technology is really getting stronger and stronger!
