The pilot and test pilot are different. The pilot only needs to fly according to the flight outline. The test pilot needs to write the flight outline to detect where the flight envelope is. The test pilot also needs to be a flight engineer. He should be familiar with the whole aircraft.
Professional test pilots are trained and more valuable than pilots. However, Chen Rui is also very suitable now. Chen Rui has always been the role of test engineer. He is also familiar with the structure and control of the aircraft. He has been flying almost every new aircraft and has long been experienced.
The next day, it was bright. Overhead, the reconnaissance satellite had just crossed, which was a rare window period.
Chen Rui has come out with his flying helmet. His helmet has a bracket on it. This aircraft adopts some MiG-29 ideas, and there is a special helmet sight on it. Because the relevant fire control system is still under development, now flying is to verify the body, so now it is just a shelf. In the future, add the helmet sight, It must be more sci-fi.
Of course, this kind of aircraft will be a secret for quite a long time in the future. Each test flight also needs to avoid the reconnaissance satellite.
"Be careful." when Chen Rui came to Qin Guan, Qin Guan told him.
"What are you afraid of? It's just the first test flight. I'll go up and turn around and come down. I don't even take off the landing gear." Chen Rui said, "I wanted to fly some other subjects, but Lu didn't let me."
Speaking of this, Chen Rui glanced at old Lu. On his face, his expression was very gentle: "we should follow the scientific law. President Qin also told us yesterday not to be too ahead. We should pay attention to step by step."
Chen Rui got on the fighter. As usual, he performed very easily. For Chen Rui, the test flight of this aircraft was almost no challenge. He also did the run in front. This test flight was just a normal flight after a run.
Chen Rui put on his helmet and made various preparations for the test flight. On the ground, several cars were beside him for assistance. This new aircraft is more spectacular from a distance. Compared with the previous streamlined fighters, this angular appearance looks more sci-fi.
Now, the F-117 has long been an army and can even be used on the battlefield. Our own side is also catching up in terms of stealth aircraft.
The two engines roared, and the fighter began to slide towards the runway. Then, in the eyes of the people, the verification aircraft began to slide towards the runway at high speed.
The previous tf30 engine can let the male cat take off from the aircraft carrier, not to mention the F110. Now, the taxiing and taking off of this kind of fighter is quite smooth.
Chen Rui pulled up the nose. Just after pulling up, he saw the fighter suddenly Shua and left the ground directly!
"Shit." Chen Rui's exclamation came from the radio, which immediately frightened old Lu.
"What's going on?" old Lu shouted.
"This thrust vector is awesome!" Chen Rui shouted.
If it is a fighter without thrust vectoring, after the front wheels are lifted up, the rear will continue to slide and increase the lift, and the main landing gear can get up. But now, just when he pulls up the operating lever, the integration of flying, fire and propulsion also begins to work. When he wants to climb, the rear vectoring nozzle will deflect, Directly provide takeoff torque.
If it is a vertical takeoff and landing fighter, the nozzle can be deflected by 90 degrees and directly pull out the onions in the dry land. Not now. Now, relying on these two engines, the takeoff thrust weight ratio has exceeded 1, but the fighter still needs to slide. However, under the strong thrust, Chen Rui is not prepared, and the main landing gear has left the ground.
With a high thrust engine and a vectoring nozzle, there will be a very powerful short-range takeoff capability. How much is this? More than 200 meters to get up!
When the F-22 takes off at a short distance, the data is more than 400 meters, but when it is fully loaded and full of fuel, the shortest distance is more than 200 meters if it is filled with less fuel.
Although the engine of the current male cat fighter has not reached the level of thrust weight ratio of 10, it is now in the state of wing deployment. In this state, the ground clearance speed is not high. Now, with the help of the thrust vector engine, it suddenly gets up.
If you get on an aircraft carrier, you can fly without a catapult at a critical time!
Chen Rui pulled up the plane, which made him very excited. It was so flexible. Even if he flew on the simulator several times, he didn't expect the real feeling to be more flexible.
This plane is really prepared for his ghost. In the future, he doesn't want to fly other planes anymore. Although he can't fly all kinds of maneuvers, just take-off and landing, it makes him know that in the future, he will fight against those fighters without vectoring nozzle. Those planes will be his target.
Fortunately, he didn't continue to pull the joystick. He didn't dare to take off at a high angle of attack until a large number of test flights were launched in the future. It's better to be safe now.
The fighter didn't retract its landing gear and made a circle around the airport. Chen Rui looked at his screen: "ghost report, there's still more fuel. Do you want to make another circle?"
"Yes," replied Lu.
This strange fighter finally flew up. Compared with the ground, it looked more spectacular and fascinating. Old Lu also looked up and looked at its majestic posture. The bloated shape was so beautiful.
So Chen Rui flew the fighter again. When he turned, he not only cooperated with the organic wing and teleoperated operation, but also benefited from the vectoring nozzle at the tail.
Someone once suggested that, for the sake of insurance, lock the tail during the first flight and turn it into a conventional fighter, but Chen Rui firmly opposed it. In this case, what's the significance of the first flight? Without vector propulsion, it is actually an ordinary male cat. Telex control has long been mature. Such a first flight is unnecessary.
In addition to taking off and landing, every turn is more rapid with the help of the vectoring nozzle at the tail. It can do all the maneuvers that the male cat fighter could not do before. This aircraft is more flexible!
He should feel it carefully. After all, he has to say these feelings when he goes back. The data of the black box is very important, and his feelings are also very important. He should further adjust the flight control according to these.
After the second lap, he aimed at the runway. Chen Rui was ready to land. Now he didn't know that it was a near death landing.
