Chapter 1358

"Really?"

After listening to Zhuang Jianye's words, before the chief who knew the aeroengine very well spoke, a leader from the air force asked for two words that had been in his heart for a long time.

Let's not talk about the problem of range. Just talking about the practical lift limit of 20000 meters and the supersonic flight capability without afterburner has subverted everyone's cognition. In particular, the supersonic cruise without afterburner is of great tactical significance.

The importance of supersonic cruise capability is self-evident, whether it is the rapid contact with the enemy in territorial air defense, the rapid departure after completing the attack mission, or the rapid maneuver in air combat.

Because of this, when I heard that the wd-64vip turbofan engine can enable VTOL to give it the ability of supersonic cruise without afterburner, I didn't pay attention to VTOL all the time. I just felt that it was the Navy's last resort. The commanders and leaders of the air force were not calm.

Supersonic cruising is possible without afterburner. This kind of aeroengine is a waste for the Navy, and the air force should be the only one to equip it.

Only then did the head of the air force take the lead in exclamation, but there were two meanings in the exclamation. For a moment, he was surprised by Zhuang Jianye's words, and the second was the suspicion hidden under the surface.

As the saying goes, there is no basis for empty talk. How can we know if we don't let people have a look at the specific situation?

As early as 1982, the Japanese government's aviation technology committee had already set up a project to develop the variable cycle aero-engine, and claimed to achieve mass production within 15 years. As a result, the 15 years had passed long ago. Except for a large number of popular science books on variable cycle aero-engine written by the Japan Aviation Technology Committee, I didn't even see the development of variable cycle aero-engine.

What Zhuang Jianye said is very nice, but in fact, like Japan's aviation technology committee, he only talks. Who knows?

Zhuang Jianye couldn't hear the implication of the chief of the air force, so he quickly waved to a senior executive and asked, "what's the next time for the satellites of foreign countries to go over the top?"

"About an hour and a half to go." The executive replied.

"Then let verification machine two get ready." Zhuang Jianye ordered.

When the senior executive heard the speech, he turned to go out for preparation, while Zhuang Jianye turned to the leaders and leaders of the troops in front of him and said, "Dear leaders, we still have No. 2 test aircraft of VTOL in the 6 good hangar. Later, our full-time test pilots of China's take-off will fly the aircraft, We will show you the basic flight performance of our VTOL verification aircraft. "

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Jianye really wanted to be serious. A chief of the air force came up to the leader of the army and whispered a few words. When the leader of the army nodded slightly, the chief of the air force suggested to Zhuang Jianye: "I don't know if we can let the air force's military aircraft fly with us?"

Zhuang Jianye nodded cheerfully: "no problem, but don't come too much. One or two planes are immediately. After all, the reserved airspace over our base is not big. If there are too many planes, they will crowd out the surrounding civil aviation routes."

"Don't worry, we have a good idea. By the way, you Chinese take-off side will change the call sign of the plane to another radio frequency, so that we can establish mutual guidance and contact..." the head of the air force patted his chest, and immediately began to implement the matter of flying together in detail.

In this respect, Zhuang Jianye naturally nodded and arranged for people to confirm the call sign with the army. As a group of people walked and chatted, they came out of the hangar and came to the open airport. At this moment, a bright silver aircraft was marked with nb-plus-886 serial number under the cabin, and the aggressive logo of haidongqing diving and predation was engraved on the V-shaped vertical tail, With the flexible swing of the double vertical tail, the whole plane is like a living haidongqing, showing a fierce and domineering side.

"It's nice to see it!"

Several army leaders could not help nodding, but some leaders frowned noncommittally: "I just don't know how to fly."

But more or with a pure appreciation of the attitude: "no matter how he can take off, as long as it is a kind of progress."

Just as the leaders and leaders looked at the vtol-2 test plane that had been pulled to the center of the runway, they could not stop commenting. The airport had established contact with the local air force. The air force had sent a j-8e and a J-8II to take off from a military airport, It is expected to reach the space production and manufacturing base in five minutes.

After receiving this message, the ground guidance of the airport gave the order for the standby vtol-2 test aircraft to take off, and then the ground support personnel quickly evacuated. The test pilot in the cockpit gave a thumbs up to the guide who gave the last signal to take off, indicating that after the guarantee was completed, he pushed the accelerator, The wd-64vip turbofan engine at the rear of the aircraft spewed out a flash of flame, then released the brake, and the whole aircraft soared into the sky like an arrow from the string.

Then, after making two routine turns in the air, he lowered the altitude and came up with a regular low-altitude pass in the open airport. The army leaders and leaders didn't feel bored. On the contrary, they thought that such conservative flight was more in line with the characteristics of the new technology aircraft such as the demonstrator. After all, safety was the first.

However, just when these commanders and leaders felt that this was an opportunity for VTOL verification, they used these conventional maneuvers to fly all the way to the arrival of the air force's accompanying aircraft. The pilot of vtol-2 test aircraft, which was passing through the field at low altitude, suddenly pulled the control lever fiercely, and the nose of the original level flight rose rapidly. At the same time, the accelerator increased its power, The wd-64vip turbofan engine, which had a linear output one second ago, roared at once, and the vtol-2 testing machine pulled up directly pierced the sky like a launch vehicle

"Pluck green onions in dry land!"

Seeing this scene, the chief and leaders immediately exclaimed, but before they could react, the two J-8 series combat aircraft of air force had already flown into the test airspace, and established contact with the vtol-2 test aircraft that broke through the clouds and penetrated into the air.

"What's the next subject? Haidongqing The j-8e pilot, as a long plane, asked the test pilot.

"According to our test subjects, it should be supersonic." The test pilot replied.

"Let's go for supersonic, but you need to take it easy for a new aircraft like yours. Yunjian is the J-8 II. It's a typical high-altitude high-speed aircraft, with a maximum speed of Mach 2.2. Don't be too ambitious for haidongqing." Chang Ji reminds me kindly.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety. By the way, if there is a speed measuring device, just turn it on. I start to speed up!" The test pilot said a word back, then pulled the accelerator, and the vtol-2 test aircraft, which had been at an altitude of 10000 meters, instantly accelerated.

"What an acute man!" As the test plane accelerated, the J-8 II, as a wingman, sighed and quickly followed.

Two minutes later, the J-8 II pilot said, "why so fast? It's Mach 1.45, I have to drive afterburner... "

Six minutes later, the J-8 II pilot said, "how can it last so long? Is the engine of the test model so robust? It seems that I have to work harder and drive to the maximum... "

Ten minutes later, the J-8 II pilot said, "my God, I can't afford it. My two engines have been warned twice. Haidongqing is not a combat plane. It's a monster at all."
