On this day, a medium-sized military business jet slowly landed at a military airport on the seaside.
The cabin door opened and Chen Fei walked down the gangway.
"Political Commissar, I've been waiting for you!" As soon as Chen Fei reached the ground, a dark-faced middle-aged man strode over and extended his hand from a distance, very familiar.
He is Chen Fei's partner this time, Dai Ming.
This guy is thirty-eight years old. He was a test pilot and is now the captain of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft flying group.
This guy was selected as the first batch of aircraft carrier-based fighter test pilots in 2006.
At that time, the J-15 fighter was just an experimental aircraft with no number, no markings, and its entire body covered in yellow paint.
Even the test airfield is still under construction, with only a runway and a simple tower.
It was in this environment that he and his comrades groped forward step by step, slowly knocking on the heavy door of the carrier-based aircraft industry.
Now, the test flight of the carrier-based aircraft has been successful, the J-15 has been officially commissioned into the army, and they have also initially figured out a method for the carrier-based aircraft to take off and land on a ski-jump runway on land.
Carrier-based fighter aircraft carrier takeoff and landing are difficult and risky, and are recognized by the world. The training of our country's aircraft carrier pilots starts almost from scratch. Without any experience or technical reference, Dai Min and others have broken through the J-15 in one flight after another.
The key technology for carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing has been explored, and the flight method under low-energy ship motion, strong winds and unstable airflow conditions has been initially formed. A relatively complete set of aircraft carrier-based aircraft flight operation organization and command procedures has been initially formed, with a total of more than 2,700 flight sorties.
Second-rate.
Of course, at this time, this method is not so perfect, and the most important point is that all their takeoffs and landings are only simulated on land, and real surface ship takeoffs and landings have never been done before.
Moreover, they have encountered major setbacks recently.
Chen Fei was transferred here this time to serve as the political commissar of the flying brigade. The first problem is to help the flying brigade overcome difficulties.
The full name of the flying group is "Naval Aviation XX Carrier Air Force". It is only a brigade in name, but its level is very high. Its external name is Navy Unit 404.
"Hello, Lao Dai!" Chen Fei stretched out his hand and shook Dai Ming's hand. He was not a very familiar person and was relatively conservative.
"You are so sweet!"
The two people's hands were tightly held together.
Chen Fei had great respect and admiration for the guy in front of him, so he was naturally happy to be able to work with him. The other person had also been looking forward to his arrival for a long time, just like the rain came after a long drought, so the two of them held hands tightly.
We were together and never separated for a long time.
"Political Commissar, you haven't had breakfast yet, should I take you to have a meal first?" Dai Ming asked.
"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, but I'm not hungry. Don't worry, I'll go back to the dormitory and put my luggage away first! I'll just take a look at our training base."
Chen Fei got on the plane early this morning, but the plane did not fly directly here. Instead, he went to the Navy Headquarters first. Originally, the head of the headquarters wanted to send him here in person, but then the superior head had an unexpected mission, so he had to
He came alone, and it was already lunch time. But for some reason, he didn't feel very hungry, but he was very thirsty, so he planned to make a cup of tea first.
"Okay, then let's go back to the dormitory and take a rest. I'll introduce our base to you first!" Dai Ming said with a smile.
He personally took Chen Fei's salute from a maintenance man and dragged it himself.
"I'll come!" Chen Fei said hurriedly.
"Political Commissar, don't be polite to me. You've been tired all morning. Let me help you with this little thing."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Chen Fei said nothing more and just walked out with Dai Ming.
When you walk into the carrier-based aircraft training base, the first thing you hear is the roar of aircraft engines.
There is not much difference between this place and a general military airport. On both sides of the runway are soldiers holding shotguns. They are bird repellers who specialize in ensuring the safety of fighter planes. There are often seabirds here. The reason why shotguns are used to repel birds is because the ship-based
When a real aircraft carrier takes off and lands, the warship has the same battle position.
The carrier-based aircraft training base is my country's first aircraft carrier supporting project. It is mainly engaged in key technology tests such as supporting aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, the combination of personnel and equipment, and button connection. It is a training platform to ensure the collaborative overall combat capability of the aircraft carrier.
The most eye-catching thing on the airport runway is the 14-degree flight deck. Not only is its size exactly the same as that of the later Liaoning-Ning ship, but the deck surface coating and marking lines are also exactly the same, including deflectors, arresting posts, command and control, and lighting.
Assisted landing systems, etc., etc., everything on the deck of the Liao Ning can be seen here.
"Lao Dai, is that the device that was put down just before the plane took off?" Chen Fei asked.
"Yes, it is currently in a down state. Its main function is to resist the left and right main wheels of the aircraft when it rises to stop the aircraft. When the aircraft reaches the maximum thrust, it is quickly and synchronously released to enable the aircraft to obtain the best departure angle.
It's very fast, its release time is very fast, only a few tenths of a second." Dai Ming explained professionally.
This base is still very big, and you can't see the edge at a glance, but the most unforgettable thing is his unique training base, the land ski jump track.
As we all know, the more traditional take-off and landing method of aircraft carriers in the world is the ski jump. This method is used by both Soviet-style aircraft carriers and Western aircraft carriers, such as the "Admiral Kuznetsov" and the "Vikramaditya"
, even the latest British aircraft carrier "Queen Elizabeth" and the "Liao Ning" that will appear later are designed with ski jump take-off decks.
The function of the ski jump take-off deck is undoubtedly to provide additional lift for the aircraft, making it easier for carrier-based aircraft to take off in short distances.
Chen Fei watched with interest, while Dai Ming explained carefully.
The first meeting between the two of them was quite pleasant.
