Chapter 679: Successful first flight

There are not many actions for the first flight, almost without reclaiming the landing gear, and going around the airport a few times. As long as it is verified that the aircraft can fly and land, it is enough.
Now, Chen Rui is strictly following the requirements of the first flight.
Take off, climb to a kilometer, then level off, then accelerate and decelerate, feel the response of the throttle, then go around in a circle, and come back.
Over the airfield, Chen Rui pushed the joystick, and the fighter keenly began to slow down.
From the cockpit, you can see the movements of the canards on both sides. Compared with the previous aircraft, the sensitivity of this aircraft is unparalleled.
It was lowered to 500 meters, and it happened to fly right in front of the airport, and then it was the pass.
The Raptor fighter jet passed through everyone's field of vision at an altitude of 500 meters. When it flew, everyone stood up and waved to the plane.
This plane is so beautiful!
The main wing of the delta wing extends all the way to the tail. The middle and rear parts of the entire fuselage are connected to the wing. This style is very similar to Dassault’s delta fighters, but there is another pair in front of it. Movable canard, this canard is the most particular, it can provide vortex, can greatly improve the agility of the aircraft.
Those side strip wings are used to pull the vortex, and the current canard wings are also used to pull the vortex, and they are more effective.
Advances in aerodynamic design will bring about further improvements in the performance of fighters. Look at the second-generation aircraft, such as the MiG 21, which have the fuselage like a stick and directly inserted into the wings. In the third-generation aircraft, wing-body fusion has been promoted. , Almost the entire aircraft is a lifting body.
Seeing the fighter planes flying in the sky, everyone was cheering, and Chen Rui in the sky was completely relaxed. This plane is easier to fly than all other planes that have flown before!
After passing through the field, Chen Rui skillfully pressed the lever left and right to check the and roll response, and tried the rudder again. Although it was only the first time, he had to fly back, and he had to explain his flight experience to the ground. .
After checking his fuel gauge, Chen Rui made a radio call again.
"The ghost report, there is still oil left, and ask for one more flight."
At the time of the first flight, the fuel was almost added to the bottom, and it was enough to go back. After all, if something happened and a fuel-filled fighter fell down, it would definitely start a fire.
However, the Spey engine is too fuel-efficient, and it is now going to land as planned, but the fuel volume is still large.
"Ghost wait a minute." A voice came from the headset.
They need to discuss it.
But soon, a voice came from the earphones: "Ghost, you can fly another circle."
So Chen Rui went around, followed the sky and flew again.
Chen Rui couldn't see the ground. He didn't know how cheering the crowd on the ground was. In Chen Rui's mind, there were only maneuvers and specific descriptions of various feelings.
Then, it was time to land.
Compared with the previous second-generation aircraft, the landing gear spacing of the third-generation aircraft is very small.
The main landing gear of the second-generation aircraft, the support point is on the wing. The advantage of this is that the wheel spacing is large and it is stable during landing. The disadvantage is that the position on the inner side of the wing is not available because there is a recovery device for the landing gear. Horizontally in it.
For a general aircraft, the inner pylon has the largest mounting capacity.
Therefore, the landing gear of the three generations of aircraft has begun to become popular with small-shaped landing gear, which frees up the wing space, and the landing gear is recycled into the belly of the aircraft. In this way, you can hang on the wing as you want. The disadvantage is that the wheel spacing is too small.
There was a slight operation problem, and the result must be the long wing ends on both sides rubbing the ground.
"Ghost, report the fuel level." The commander's voice came from the headset.
"The ghost is ready to land." Chen Rui shouted. Although the answer was not what was asked, everyone knew it.
When the fighter plane is landing, the nose is up. Let the main landing gear at the back touch the ground first. In this case, the pilot’s vision is not good, because the nose is raised, the front vision is small, and the sights on both sides, It happened to be blocked again by suppression.
Chen Rui could only fly down and down slowly according to previous experience.
In the previous J-7, the wheels were mounted vertically on the wing. As soon as it touched the ground, the pilot felt like it slammed into the ground.
And now, the height is supposedly very low, it's time to ground.
But it didn't feel at all. Chen Rui always felt that the plane was not grounded.
"It's great, now let's put the parachute." The commander's voice came from the headset, and Chen Rui was relieved now.
It turns out that this aircraft is so light that it can hardly feel it!
With the deceleration parachute released, the front landing gear also landed. For Chen Rui, he was waiting.
Chen Rui waited for the plane to continue to roll forward, and at the same time, the heart that had been hanging was immediately retracted into his stomach.
The first domestically produced third-generation aircraft completed its maiden flight so quickly, which is simply a record. At the same time, with the success of this maiden flight, the new fighter will inevitably obtain a healthy development opportunity. The J-6 and J-7 should be replaced by this new aircraft.
It's really exciting.
Chen Rui stepped on the brake lightly, and finally stopped the plane. When the plane stopped, you could see that a large group of generals had gathered around. Some people were holding flowers and were preparing to offer gifts to themselves. The dedicated army reporters set up their cameras and prepared to take close-up shots of themselves.
Chen Rui became a little shy again.
Song Lao's eyes are already moist, and Song Lao has always had a dream of a duck-style fighter. He has fought for ten years on the J-9 project, and now, on this Raptor fighter, it is finally resurrected.
Song Lao's mood was extremely excited at this time.
Watching a large group of people surround him, watching Chen Rui get off the plane and be surrounded, Qin Guan just stood far away.
The Raptor project has made phased progress. If you fly backwards, you may encounter some problems. For example, what I am most worried about is the lack of power of the Spey engine, especially the lack of high altitude power, which will lead to its high altitude in the future The test may be unsatisfactory. The entire test flight may continue for the previous year, but anyway, Han State finally has its own third-generation aircraft!
This development is simply flying on a rocket.
The research and development of the third-generation aircraft is not easy. In the West, for example, Eagle Country, although it only takes four to five years, it is based on the advanced aviation industry of others, and what about its own? It's completely poor and white.
What does it rely on?
I have played a big role. Those special materials, those chips, etc., all have their own help, but more, it is the enthusiasm of these aviation industry workers and their hard work that brought today's success!
