After hearing what Zhuang Jianye said, before the commander who knew a lot about aerospace engines spoke, a leader from the Air Force Aviation Corps first asked the two words he had been holding on to for a long time.
Putting aside the issue of range, just saying that it can give combat aircraft a practical ceiling of 20,000 meters and the ability to fly at supersonic speeds without using afterburners has subverted everyone's perception, especially the supersonic cruise without using afterburners. , the tactical significance is astonishing.
Whether it is a quick engagement with the enemy during homeland air defense, a quick breakaway after completing an attack mission, or a quick maneuver during aerial combat, the importance of supersonic cruise capability is self-evident.
Because of this, when I heard that the wd-64vip turbofan engine can give the vertical take-off and landing demonstrator the ability to cruise at supersonic speeds without using afterburners, I have never paid attention to the vertical take-off and landing demonstrator. Here, the chiefs and leaders of the air force units, who only felt that it was a simple distribution of goods that the navy had to do, became uneasy.
It can cruise at supersonic speeds without turning on afterburner. This kind of aero engine is simply a waste for the navy. It should be equipped by their air force.
Only then did the chief of the Air Force exclaim, but this exclamation contained two meanings. One was that he was shocked by Zhuang Jianye's words, and the other was the suspicion hidden under the surface.
As the saying goes, empty words are unfounded. How can we know the specific situation without letting people take a look?
As early as 1982, the Aeronautical Technical Committee under the Japanese government had already established a project to develop a variable cycle aero engine, and claimed to achieve mass production within 15 years. As a result, 15 years had long passed, except for a large number of Japanese Aeronautical Technical Committee Apart from the popular science books I wrote about variable-cycle aero-engines, I didn¡¯t even see the hair of variable-cycle engines.
Zhuang Jianye¡¯s words sound nice, but in fact, who knows whether he is just like Japan¡¯s Aeronautical Technical Committee, who only talks about words?
Zhuang Jianye couldn't hear the implication of the words of the head of the Air Force Aviation Force, so he quickly called over an executive and asked: "What is the next over-the-top time for satellites from foreign countries?"
¡°Almost an hour and a half away,¡± the executive replied.
"Then let the No. 2 verification machine prepare." Zhuang Jianye ordered.
After hearing this, the executive turned around and went out to prepare. Zhuang Jianye turned around and said to the army leaders and chiefs in front of him: "Dear chiefs and leaders, we also store the No. 2 vertical take-off and landing verification aircraft in the 6 Hao hangar. Test aircraft, our full-time test pilots from China Ascendas will fly this aircraft into the air later to demonstrate the basic flight performance of our vertical take-off and landing demonstration aircraft to the heads and leaders."
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Jianye was really serious about it, so an Air Force chief came up to the military leader and whispered a few words. When the military leader nodded slightly, the Air Force chief suggested to Zhuang Jianye. : ¡°I wonder if we can have an Air Force military plane accompany us?¡±
Zhuang Jianye nodded cheerfully: "No problem, but don't come too many. Just one or two planes. After all, the reserved airspace above our base is not large. If there are too many planes, they will crowd out the surrounding civil aviation routes."
"Don't worry, we know it well. By the way, China Takeoff will change the call sign of the aircraft to another radio frequency so that we can establish mutual guidance and contact" The air force chief patted his chest and began immediately. Implement the accompanying flight matters in detail.
In this regard, Zhuang Jianye naturally nodded his head and quickly arranged for people to confirm the contact call sign with the troops. Just like this, a group of people walked and chatted. They walked out of the hangar and arrived at the empty airport. At this moment, a plane with bright lights It is silver, with the nb-plus-886 number marked on the bottom of the cabin. The V-shaped vertical tail is engraved with the domineering logo of Haidong Qing swooping for prey. With the flexible swing of the double vertical tails, the entire aircraft is like a come alive Haidong. Qing, showing a fierce and domineering side.
¡°It looks really good!¡±
Several army leaders could not help but nod, but some chiefs frowned noncommittally: "I just don't know what to do with flying up."
But most of them still have a purely appreciative attitude: "No matter what he does, as long as he can take off, it is an improvement."
Just as the leaders and chiefs were looking at the No. 2 vertical take-off and landing demonstrator test machine that had been pulled to the center of the airport runway by a tractor and couldn't help but comment, the airport had established contact with the local air force. A J-8e and a J-82 were dispatched. They have already taken off from a certain military airport and are expected to arrive at the aerospace production and manufacturing base in 5 minutes.
After receiving the news, the airport¡¯s ground guidance gave the standby vertical takeoff and landing demonstrator No. 2 test aircraft instructions to take off. Immediately, the ground support personnel quickly evacuated, and the test pilot in the cockpit gave the final signal.The conductor who was ready to take off gave a thumbs up sign to ensure that the mission was completed, then pushed the accelerator, and the wd-64vip turbofan engine at the tail instantly spurted out a burst of flames, then released the brakes, and the entire aircraft seemed to be flying off the strings. Arrows shoot straight into the sky.
Then he made two regular turning movements in the air and then lowered his altitude. A regular low-altitude pass came to the empty airport. The army chiefs and leaders in the field did not find it boring. On the contrary, they felt like this Conservative flying is more in line with the characteristics of new technology models such as demonstrator aircraft. After all, safety is the first priority.
However, just when these chiefs and leaders felt that this was an opportunity to demonstrate vertical takeoff and landing, they used these conventional maneuvers to fly until the Air Force accompanying aircraft arrived. The pilot of the No. 2 test aircraft of the vertical takeoff and landing demonstration aircraft was passing through the field at low altitude. Suddenly, the control stick was pulled fiercely, and the nose of the aircraft, which was flying level, quickly rose. At the same time, the throttle was increased, and the wd-64vip turbofan engine, which had a linear output a second ago, immediately roared, and the nose of the aircraft was lifted up. The No. 2 vertical take-off and landing demonstrator test machine pierced the sky directly like launching a carrier rocket
¡°Pluck onions on dry land!¡±
The commanders and leaders who saw this scene immediately exclaimed, but before they could react, two J-8 series combat aircraft of the Air Force Aviation Force had already flown into the test flight airspace, and broke through the clouds and drilled into the high-altitude vertical take-off and landing demonstration aircraft. Test Machine No. 2 established contact.
¡°What¡¯s the next subject? Haidongqing!¡± the J-8e pilot, as the lead aircraft, asked the test pilot.
¡°According to our test flight subjects, it should be supersonic speed.¡± The test pilot replied.
"Then let's go supersonic. But for a new model like yours, you have to take it easy. 'Yunjian' is a J-82, a typical high-altitude high-speed, with a maximum speed of Mach 2.2. 'Haitongqing', don't be too pushy." ." The captain reminded kindly.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety. By the way, if there is a speed measuring device, turn it on. I will start to accelerate!" the test pilot replied and pulled the throttle. The vertical take-off and landing verification aircraft was already at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The No. 2 test machine accelerated instantly.
¡°What an impatient person!¡± Seeing the test aircraft speeding up, the J-82 as a wingman sighed and hurriedly followed.
Two minutes later, the J-82 pilot said: "Why is it so fast? It's already Mach 1.45, I have to turn on afterburner"
Six minutes later, the J-82 pilot said: "Why does it last so long? Is the engine of the test aircraft so resistant to construction? It seems that I have to turn on the afterburner to the maximum"
Ten minutes later, the J-82 pilot said: "Oh my god, I really can't afford it. Both of my engines gave out two warnings. The 'Haitongqing' is not a combat aircraft. It is simply a fighter jet." What a monster!"
