Chapter 637 The successful first flight of Dark Sword One, the moment recorded in history
“Did you know that the internationally accepted practice is that the proportion of new technologies used in newly designed aircraft generally does not exceed 20%?”
“And there are statistical rules that show that when the adoption of new technologies in a newly designed aircraft exceeds 40% , the success rate of this kind of aircraft is only 50%, or even less than 50%.”
“The new technology application rate of Dark Sword One exceeds 75%, which means that this reconnaissance aircraft has been launched. The probability of an accident is over 80%.”
“Aren’t you afraid of sacrifice?”
Su Dingping did not answer immediately, but asked directly.
He needs to fully let the other party understand that the Dark Sword No. 1 is a brand-new fighter aircraft that Xie Zhenyu has never flown before. It is also the first high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft pioneered by the Longxia tribe. There are risks involved. is huge.
"Report to the commander, I am willing to devote myself to the cause of the Air Force!"
Xie Zhenyu replied sonorously and forcefully without any hesitation.
Those resolute eyes revealed determination and determination. It was this spirit of sacrifice that made it possible to achieve the rise and take-off of the military industry of the Longxia tribe despite being blocked and suppressed by others. .
Any rise needs to pay a price. Revolution is not a treat. It requires countless heroes to continue and move forward bravely!
"Very good, I approved it."
Su Dingping answered very simply, "Next, I will provide you with one-on-one all-round guidance. Do you have any questions? If you have any questions, you can ask me."
"You can ask no matter how subtle it is, and I will help you make Dark Sword No. 1 more perfect."
Xie Zhenyu quickly said: "Yes, Chief."
He felt extremely honored to be personally guided by Commander Su and taught him how to fly this Dark Sword No. 1 high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.
Of course, I feel more confident.
Although all we get are some cold numbers and various parameters, the meaning of Su Dingping's personal participation is completely different.
Just like when every new warship was launched for its first sea trial, Su Dingping would personally board the ship as the commander and conduct various tests.
For the next two days, Su Dingping trained Xie Zhenyu and helped him completely master the driving of Dark Sword One.
One day was left for Xie Zhenyu to explore on his own, while Su Dingping watched and listened to the various opinions put forward by the other party, and recorded them one by one.
Any fighter aircraft is the result of the joint participation of chief engineers and test pilots, and the creation of Dark Sword One is naturally no exception.
It is such an ace pilot and a real veteran pilot who can offer so many valuable opinions.
Of course, he became familiar with Dark Sword One very quickly. It only took him half a day to master various dashboard functions and operating skills.
I have to say that an ace pilot is an ace pilot, that is, he is different. He has brought too much useful information to Su Dingping, and it can be used in future fighter development.
Early on the third day, Xie Zhenyu put on a newly developed high-altitude pressure resistance suit, held a fully enclosed helmet in his hand, and stood in front of Su Dingping.
"Report to the leader, I am ready."
"Request to board the plane for the first test flight mission."
Xie Zhenyu asked for instructions very sonorously and forcefully, with bright eyes and full of energy. .
“Boarding.”
Su Dingping patted Xie Zhenyu's shoulder with his hand, and then ordered.
“Yes!”
Next, with the help of the ground crew, Xie Zhenyu boarded the Dark Sword One cockpit and closed the glass hatch.
Su Dingping did not stay, but took advantage of this time to turn around and come to the command console.
After glancing at the parameters and the flight climate, Su Dingping put on the headphones, picked up the microphone and said: "Xie Zhenyu, how do you feel? Are you ready?"
"Reporting to the chief, I feel good."
"I'm ready and can take off at any time."
Xie Zhenyu's voice came from the earphones, and he answered very simply, which reassured Su Dingping A lot.
"Very good, you can warm up the car now."
After thinking for a moment, Su Dingping gave the order, "Xie Zhenyu, take off on time in five minutes."
< br>
"Yes, Chief."
After checking the various instrument panels and operating levers, Xie Zhenyu turned on the engine.
“Buzz!”
With a huge roar, the two engines roared and sprayed out streams of heat.
The next step is to check the specific conditions of the aircraft's rudder, flight tail and other moving parts. All this is done with the cooperation of the ground crew.
After the inspection was completed, the ground staff gave Xie Zhenyu a thumbs up in the cabin and informed him of the results.
"Report to the leader, all inspections are completed."
"Request to slide out."
Xie Zhenyu reported directly to the communicator.
"Slide out."
After receiving this order, Xie Zhenyu immediately operated the Dark Sword No. 1 reconnaissance aircraft to slowly slide out of the huge hangar and taxied along the guidance line towards the starting point of the runway.
Since Dark Sword One's taxiing and other ground projects have been tested in advance, today's first flight is crucial.
All the test participants and scientific researchers in the base stared at the sliding Dark Sword One with their eyes wide open, and even their breathing was lowered.
This is the first time Dark Sword 1 has undergone a test flight, and its importance is naturally self-evident.
Once successful, it means that the Longxia Air Force will have its own high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, thus filling the gap in this field in one fell swoop.
Having a high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft of its own is of great significance to Longxia's national defense construction!
Of course, once you encounter a loss, the cost will be very huge. Not only will it destroy the opportunity, but also destroy the self-confidence in this field!
The loss of the reconnaissance aircraft may be able to continue to be built, but the loss of the top ace pilot is difficult to make up for. You must know how costly and time-consuming it is to train such a top pilot.
"Mr. Su, do we need to remind Xie Zhenyu again?"
Professor Zhang on the side asked with a solemn expression. His whole heart was hanging in the air now, and his eyes were fixed all the time. The relevant data never leaves the computer display.
The other professors and experts were also very nervous at the moment, but they didn't have time to pay attention to this. Instead, they stared nervously at the data of various testing equipment.
"No need, we have to believe in him."
"Of course, we also have to believe in the Dark Sword No. 1 we developed. Now it is a sharp sword soaring into the sky."< br>
Su Dingping said without looking back that as the chief designer, he was somewhat confident in the Dark Sword One. At least he had a good idea of this fighter. "Yes, Mr. Su."
Professor Zhang nodded and continued to stare at the relevant data changes.
The other professors and experts also felt relieved, as if they had a backbone.
At this time, everything about Dark Sword No. 1 is in very good condition, and all parameters are fluctuating within the normal range, without any abnormalities.
Finally, Dark Sword No. 1 stopped steadily at the starting point of the airport runway. From a distance, it looked like an eagle waiting for the flight order to be issued. Its eyes were already staring at the blue sky, wanting to fly. Soaring into the sky!
At this moment, apart from the surging power output of the engine, there was no other sound in the entire base. Even the wind was gentle, as if everything was creating the best conditions for the test flight.
"Reporting to the chief, Xie Zhenyu requested to take off."
At this time, Xie Zhenyu's voice came from Su Dingping's earphones, confident and full.
“Take off!”
After Su Dingping glanced at the big screen in front of him, he gave the order directly.
As the order was issued, everyone present subconsciously held their breath and cast their sights on the dark Dark Sword One at the starting point of the airport runway.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
“Buzz!”
The roar of the engine is getting louder and louder, and the power output is getting stronger and stronger. It is ready to take off. .
Following the conductor's gesture, Dark Sword No. 1 was like a wild horse running wildly towards the runway. The speed was getting faster and faster. It didn't take long for it to reach the take-off point. required speed.
The front wheels were raised, and the nose of the aircraft continued to rush forward towards the blue sky.
Only two seconds passed, and the rear wheels also left the ground. Dark Sword One finally broke away from the shackles of the ground and rushed into the blue sky, continuing to climb!
"Reporting to the chief, Dark Sword No. 1 was successfully launched!"
Xie Zhenyu's voice came from the earphones, very calm and confident.
The values displayed on the instrument panel in the cockpit are very stable and in very good condition, just like an old fighter plane that has taken off many times.
At this moment, he finally understood why Su Dingping was so calm and confident about the quality of this fighter plane and guaranteed that there would be no problems.
When Dark Sword One completely lifted off the ground, there was a warm round of applause.
All the test participants were very happy, because this was a good start for the fighter jet test flight, and they all felt that the initial efforts were worth it!
"Very good, you continue."
Su Dingping said calmly to the microphone.
To be able to see the first high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft developed by himself soar into the sky, it would be false to say that he is not excited, but he still maintains a calm attitude and quietly pays attention to everyone. changes in experimental data.
"Report, Dark Sword One climbed to 7km! The speed is Mach 0.6!"
"Report, Dark Sword One climbed to 14km! The speed is Mach 0.8!"
"Report, Dark Sword One All the parameters of the No. 1 are normal and in good condition..."
The professors are constantly reporting the latest situation. They have judged the specific status of the Dark Sword No. 1 through the various parameters displayed on the computer screen in front of them. .
In order to test the aerial conditions of Dark Sword One, numerous testing equipment were installed inside the fighter aircraft. Although the weight increased, it did not affect its flight performance.
"Reporting to the chief, everything is normal on Dark Sword No. 1. Please request to test related flight items."
In the cockpit of Dark Sword No. 1, Xie Zhenyu carefully controlled the reconnaissance aircraft to fly quickly and level off from the climbing state.
At this time, it is necessary to test a series of flight postures and collect various experimental data.
Anyway, it was his first time to operate this high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. Its performance was different from all the fighter jets he had flown before. There was a huge difference. Naturally, he was still a little nervous.
But his rich flying experience and good psychological quality made him not so afraid, and his operations were naturally orderly.
At this time, the altitude of Dark Sword One was 22km, which had exceeded the maximum ceiling of most fighter jets. The air here had become thin, so he naturally put on his mask and activated the life support system.
The J-10 that had flown before could not reach this height at all. In other words, it was his first time to fly to this height, so the challenge was still quite big.
But despite undergoing rigorous training, he still remembered to carry out the test items.
"Okay, execute as planned."
Su Dingping made a decision immediately. At this moment, Dark Sword One was in a very stable state and was very suitable for various test projects. It was so perfect. Naturally, this is a great opportunity that cannot be missed.
The professors immediately began to carry out various test subjects, forcing the ultimate flight performance of Dark Sword One over and over again!
These test flight subjects are quite challenging even for Xie Zhenyu, an ace pilot.
But after accepting the order, he still participated in the verification of the test flight subjects, hovering on the verge of death every time, but there were always near misses.
After spending a certain amount of time testing all the flight test subjects, Su Dingping checked the time and asked Xie Zhenyu to return.
The subjects of the morning test flight have been completed. It is time for Xie Zhenyu to come back and have a meal. After the lunch break, he can proceed to the next stage of test flight.
After the plane landed, as soon as it entered the hangar, members of the relevant expert team rushed up to conduct all-round tests on Dark Sword One.
The medical team conducted a full-body examination on Xie Zhenyu to ensure that all his physical indicators were in line with the state before the test flight.
"In the afternoon we will have an ultra-high altitude test flight, which is quite a challenge."
Su Dingping came to Xie Zhenyu in person, stared at him with burning eyes and asked.
"Report to the chief, I have no problem."
Xie Zhenyu was very excited, "Dark Sword No. 1 has very good performance and is a very advanced high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. All technical indicators are not behind the international mainstream at all, and are even more advanced than the reconnaissance aircraft of the White Bear Tribe."
"That's great. It's good if you have this confidence."
Su Dingping nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with this.
The subjects of the afternoon test flight are relatively simple. It does not require the pilot to spend too much energy. It is to fly directly over the previous 22km and fly directly towards the extreme altitude.
23km! 24km!
The speed did not slow down at all, but continued to climb higher into the sky.
"Report, reaching an altitude of 24km!"
Xie Zhenyu's voice came from the communicator, Su Dingping still felt relieved and asked directly: "Xie Zhenyu, how do you feel?"
"Reporting to the chief, the reconnaissance plane is in good condition. I have no questions." Xie Zhenyu answered simply.
“Okay, then keep climbing.”
Su Dingping was naturally relieved and immediately gave the order.
