Chapter 1126: Free air combat

Although Tan Zhenhua has repeatedly stated that this is to contribute to China's aviation industry willingly, Song Wenhua does not even believe in a punctuation mark.
Since getting to know Tan Zhenhua, he hasn't seen this stinky boy who doesn't take advantage of himself when he does things. The benefits of partiality are still upright, and there is no handle at all, so people have nothing to say.
"Fortunately, this kid didn't enter the system, otherwise, he must be a corrupt official." Song Wenhua sometimes has to think like this.
However, he promised to advance the funds so easily. At least for the moment, it seems to be an effective way to solve real problems. Although he didn't figure out how he intends to operate, but for the Ministry of Aviation Industry and Chengdu, he received the money. , After the delivery of the goods, he has fulfilled his obligations. If Ikla refuses to pay in the future, this matter has nothing to do with China. Tan Zhenhua will go to and Ikla for the time being. Ikla wants debts, even if the money really doesn't come back, it's only 200 million, even if it is lost, it won't hurt this kid, right?
Thinking of this, Song Wenhua suddenly felt that this trip to Xijing was very rewarding. He planned to communicate with Minister Mo in a while. If Minister Mo does not object, then he will do so.
Well, looking at this kid now, it seems more pleasing to the eye?
Tan Zhenhua, who finally settled Song Wenhua, had time to talk to Chen Yijian about the true purpose of his trip. Obviously he came to Xijing this time not to help Song Wenhua relieve his troubles, but because he knew that the Flying Leopard fighter was the first The three batches of prototypes have been produced and will start test flights, and if the results of this test flight do not find anything that needs major changes, they will be accepted by the navy and the state in this state and officially enter small batch production!
In other words, this batch of 4 fighters off the assembly line is infinitely close to mass production.
For Tan Zhenhua, this is a truly important event, representing the agreement he and Chen Yijian reached at the beginning. After four years of hard work, it finally came to a successful conclusion.
For this day, he has waited too long.
...
Huang Bingxin once again sorted out his full set of equipment-anti-G suit, helmet, flight watch, 51-type pistol, umbrella knife... After confirming that he was correct, he nodded to his weapon operator and navigator Xing Yancai, and the latter rushed. As he smiled slightly, and at the same time made an "OK" gesture, the two of them walked to the brand new fighter plane parked in the hangar one after another.
The fighter plane was obviously just coming off the production line, and even the painting was not sprayed. It just painted the primer once, making the fuselage look yellow and green. Huang Bingxin knew that the yellow part of the body is metal, and the green part is. It is a composite material, and he also knows that this is the first time that China has used such a large area of ​​composite material on a fighter jet.
In addition, under the skin of the aircraft, the load-bearing structure of this fighter plane uses a large number of forged titanium alloy components for the first time. Compared with pure steel structural parts, titanium alloy is not only lighter in weight, but also stronger. It can withstand greater overload. According to the data that Chief Chen told him, the weight of titanium alloy components in the entire Flying Leopard accounted for 15% of the weight of the aircraft’s total components, although this figure is far less than that of the F-14. As high as 25%, it is already a great breakthrough for China, and because of this, the overload of "Flying Leopard" has reached 8G, a record of China!
Huang Bingxin walked up to the fighter plane. The ground crew had set up two boarding ladders. He knew that in the huge nose of this plane, which was sprayed with a striking white primer, an antenna with a diameter of 920 mm was installed. The X-band full-wave pulse Doppler radar is precisely because of the installation of this radar and a full set of fire control computers. Today’s test flight missions require two pilots-the same as the main test aircraft for the 02 batch test flight. Pneumatic and control performance therefore uses a large number of counterweights to simulate some electronic equipment. The difference is that the 03 batch of prototypes needs to check the working conditions of all systems during the test flight. Therefore, this batch of prototypes actually has combat capabilities.
The cockpit cover of the cockpit was closed. In the slight tremor, the "Flying Leopard" was towed by a ground vehicle and slowly drove towards the runway. Xing Yancai's voice came from the intercom: "Hey, old Huang, this plane is so exciting!"
Huang Bingxin couldn't help but smile.
Xing Yan is a new member of the Flying Leopard flight test team. Before that, he had been flying the "Hung Six", a special-grade pilot of the Air Force. The reason why he was transferred to the Flying Leopard flight test team was because so far So far, in China’s history, there has never been a two-seater fighter jet, and the single-engine fighter aircraft equipped by China has never been equipped with such a complex radar and fire control system, and only the "H6" part. The pilots have experience in operating large airborne radars and fire control systems, so in order to ensure the smooth completion of the test flight mission, the superiors specially selected several physical fitness and technical skills from the weapon operators and navigators of the "H6" fleet. All excellent aircrews have conducted surprise training, and Xing Yancai is one of the best.
Although he has done many exercises in the simulated cockpit, Xing Yancai still felt a kind of inexplicable tension and excitement when he really came into contact with the real objects and operated the advanced instruments and equipment-he knew that the flight experience of fighter jets and bombers It is completely different. The equipment in front of him is completely different from the simple equipment equipped on the "H6". What he will face is a new challenge, and it is also the beginning of China's upgrade to a higher-tech air combat system.
The fighter plane steadily stopped at the end of the runway. Huang Bingxin started the engine and checked all the instrument indications. When all the normal signal lights flashed, the tower sent an instruction to release.
"Today's weather is really good, it's a good day to fly." He looked up at the blue sky and gently stepped on the accelerator.
...
"Eric, your plane is really good!"
In the tower, Mahmoud, wearing a neat uniform and an olive branch on his epaulettes, set off a shining star and moon, while using a telescope to chase the flying leopard fighter in the air, he said.
"Of course, Brigadier General, I have spent a lot of money on this plane!" Tan Zhenhua also looked at the fighter plane in the sky with a binoculars, and replied: "But Ma, I seem to remember that between us There is a bet, can I declare that I won now?"
Mahmoud put down the telescope and shrugged his shoulders and said: "Eric, I remember that we were talking about the performance of China's newly developed fighter aircraft that exceeds the level of the F-16. Judging from the performance of today's test flight, this aircraft The "Flying Leopard" fighter does have this potential, but the potential does not mean the ability, right?"
Tan Zhenhua also put down the binoculars and smiled: "Old Ma, it seems that it is really not easy to make you surrender. Whatever you say, there is some truth in what you said, so good, in order to make the gambling between us two. There is a fair result that both parties can agree on. I don’t think so."
"How to do?"
"We in China have a saying, "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out. "Since we are betting on the performance of the fighter, let's organize an exercise and test the performance of the fighter through actual combat. Everyone is convinced."
Mahmoud thought for a while and said: "This is also a way, but what are the rules of this exercise? How can we determine who wins and who loses? Eric, I heard that in your China exercise, the Red Army will always They are all the final victors. I'm afraid this kind of exercise can't explain any problems, right?"
"Of course it's different this time." Tan Zhenhua said with a smile: "I think we should conduct this exercise in the closest way to actual combat, so that it will be more convincing. Old Ma, what do you think of free air combat?"
