Fu Jianshe also said excitedly: "This flying leopard seems to be about to perform!"
” Chief Master Tang Weiwen on the side laughed and said: "Yes, the performance is about to be performed, I hope it can live up to everyone's expectations!"
” At this time, the ground crew and pilots over there also began to check the plane and refuel and power the plane.
People are also talking about it.
"I heard that this J-7 is a new generation of fighter-bomber being developed by our country, and it can be said that it is the most advanced fighter in our country, but I didn't expect that this time there would be such an unexpected gain."
A military enthusiast in his fifties said excitedly.
A young man in his thirties next to him continued: "Yes, this time it really didn't come in vain.
The J-7 fighter is so beautiful, I don't think it's worse than the Su-27 fighter next to it!
” But no, of course Su Erqi is also very beautiful, the aerodynamic shape is very smooth, it uses belly air intake, of course, the most unique thing is that its fuselage seems to be on top of the rear fuselage strung together by two engines and air intakes, and the nose of the aircraft is raised high, like an animal, a cobra.
And Su Erqi's best and most amazing aerial stunt action is the cobra maneuver, which is also a trick that makes it famous in the world.
The J-7 adopts a conventional swept wing surface bureau, the whole fuselage is straight and looks particularly strong, and its wings are slightly hammered at both ends, which looks as powerful as the wings of an eagle.
Of course, the words FBC1 on the fuselage of the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber make people understand at a glance that this is the rhythm of preparing for export.
In any case, this is a professional day, so most of the viewers who come to see the Flying Leopard still know more about military weapons and equipment, so when China's most advanced fighter first appears in the public eye, they can guess what is so special about this fighter.
Soon all the preparations were in place, and two pilots in blue flight suits climbed into the cockpit of the flying leopard.
These two pilots, at first glance, are the test pilots of the test flight institute, they are the elite of the pilots, and the flying leopards flying by them will definitely be particularly handsome, and everyone is full of expectations.
It is true that the work of a test pilot is very dangerous, and Shen Huan can't help but think of a data, that is, during the test flight of the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber, there have been many dangers and accidents.
Even during the 2011 China International General Aviation Conference in Pucheng, Shaanxi Province, a flying leopard fighter plane crashed unexpectedly.
The crashed fighter plane was carrying two pilots, and finally the pilot in the forward cabin was killed; The rear cabin pilot ejects out of the cabin, and the parachute opens.
Of course, in the process of test flight, it is even more dangerous, and now the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber has not yet been finalized, and it dares to come to the air show for its debut, which shows that the air force and research and development units have great confidence in it.
Shen Huan still remembers a report about a test pilot of the Flying Leopard fighter who conducted an intensity performance test flight one day in 1995, and this kind of test flight was a test flight topic in which the various systems of the aircraft were tested to bear the maximum air load in the scientific research and finalization test flight of the new fighter.
For test pilots, it is not only a test of flight test technology, but more importantly, a test of the ability to control the aircraft to complete the test finger beyond the limit of human physiological endurance.
At that time, the fighter reached an altitude of 10,000 meters, then dived, and then turned on the afterburner when it reached 2,000 meters, and when the speed reached the design value, it was pulled up violently, and this time the test flight found that the missile under the left wing flew off directly, but fortunately, the missile model did not hit the tail of the flying leopard, otherwise it would be a dangerous situation.
During the test flight of the Flying Leopard fighter, the pilot was also sacrificed, and later there were some accidents, from 1996 to 2014, which caused nine accidents in which thirteen pilots died in the course of flying missions.
After the incident, the experts identified and analyzed the wreckage of the crashed plane, and determined that the cause of the plane crash was not the cause of the engine, and the engine did not stop in the air during the flight of the plane.
The most important reason is that the Flying Leopard fighter did not master the technology of the leading edge flap when it was designed, so the Flying Leopard was not particularly suitable for low-altitude and high-speed penetration, and it was already very good to be able to design such an advanced fighter when there was nothing at that time.
Because there is almost no fighter in the world that has not fallen, even the later J-10 fighter did not crash during the test flight, but there was also a crash accident after entering service.
And the military planes of the United States and Da Mao have fallen a lot, and some experts have said that good planes are all thrown out.
It can even be said that the combat effectiveness of the Air Force is also thrown out, and foreign countries are not afraid of crashing planes, as long as the pilots can eject out, the plane is nothing.
Shen Huan also knew that it was unlikely that the Flying Leopard fighter would perform too thrilling stunts at the air show now, but it was exciting enough.
When the two test pilots piloted the Flying Leopard fighter and taxied to the middle, the crowd became even more noisy, and people exchanged heads and ears, discussing whether the next flying leopard would perform a thrilling action.
The Flying Leopard fighter on the runway does look majestic, like a sturdy African leopard, its thick nose, extending backwards to the cockpit, is the rectangular air intakes on both sides, the streamlined fuselage and wide swept wings, making it look full of power.
At this time, in the cockpit of the Flying Leopard fighter, the two test pilots also took a deep breath, and the next flight show was only allowed to succeed and not to fail.
After all, this was the first public flight show of the Flying Leopard fighters, and the chief engineer of the Flying Leopard was watching them in the crowd!
When the ground crew waved a small flag to signal that they were ready to take off, the two top test pilots cheered each other on, and then the pilot in the front cabin pressed the red engine afterburner switch with his gloveled hand.
With a powerful roar of Spey engine, the tail nozzle of this Flying Leopard fighter also spewed out two orange flames, only to see it continue to accelerate on the runway, and almost all the audience's eyes moved to the body of this Flying Leopard fighter.
Those who stood behind, and even many of them, stood on tiptoe, trying to see the moment when the flying leopard leaped into the sky.
After taxiing for hundreds of meters, the Flying Leopard fighter really lived up to expectations, under the thrust of the powerful turbofan engine, it flew lightly into the sky, although there was no thrilling action of pulling onions on dry land, but its jump was also a feast for the eyes.
People kept shouting!
It's as if this flying leopard is piloted by them.
The most nervous in the crowd was still Chief Master Tang Weiwen, who had been pressing his chest, and only after the moment when the flying leopard jumped into the sky did he breathe a sigh of relief!
