Chapter 276
Two weeks later.
Two-thirds of the 'Survival Practice Class' course for the 12th class has passed.
One more week.
This class is over.
Then what is about to come is an extremely cruel assessment.
The credits for last semester were only 10 points.
Among them, skydiving accounts for five points.
So skydiving is a top priority for all students.
First week.
In addition to theory and parachute stacking, the rest of the skydiving class is simulated landing training.
After the first week is over, you can board the plane and practice.
But it’s not every day that you can board a plane and skydive.
Weather conditions have a great impact on skydiving.
Forget about the bad weather.
Even if the wind speed is slightly high, it won’t work.
So there are seven days on the second Monday, and only two days are suitable for skydiving.
Today is the first day of the third week.
Although the local temperature in Xinyang has dropped below zero, it turned out to be a sunny day.
God has his way.
Just right for skydiving training.
The Xinyang campus has an airport.
However, this airport is too small and can only be used to take off and land small piston propeller aircraft such as Chujiao-6 and Yun-5.
At this time.
Four Y-5 small transport planes are parked on the apron.
Several teachers and students from other colleges are refueling and maintaining these Y-5 transport aircraft.
The flight briefing room not far away.
Four flight instructors and eight senior students are also putting on flight suits.
In the tower further away.
There are also instructors and students who act as tower controllers.
Even the radar stations, weather stations, etc.
on the surrounding hillsides are almost all students from Kongda University.
The open space next to the tarmac.
More than a hundred students from the 12th class have gathered.
Fang Kai stood aside with his hands behind his back, while skydiving instructor Li Xingyun looked serious.
“Today is your third skydiving training, and it is the first time for you all to get on the sedan chair. So I won’t say any more nonsense. I will only emphasize two words: peace, peace, It’s still fucking safe.”
“There are still ten minutes before boarding. Before everyone boarding, I and other instructors have to check his parachute bag. Again, if Whoever’s parachute pack fails to fold properly, get out of here”
Pilots are not airborne troops.
So there is no need to master the ‘fancy’ skydiving skills.
As long as we can land safely.
and.
Their umbrella bags are also unique.
The towing hook of the main parachute of the parachute bag is hung on the steel wire slide of the aircraft. When skydiving, the parachute can open automatically without even pulling it by hand.
However, if there is a problem with the main parachute, you still need to hold the secondary parachute by hand.
So Li Xingyun and the others attach great importance to the safety of the main parachute. They must pass the inspection by the instructors before they can board the plane.
“Oh, it’s Luck-5 again. Damn, my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys almost fell apart the last two times. I’m scared when I see Luck-5 now!” Jiang Chen stood there Zhang Jingyi sighed and whispered.
Yun-5 is my country's first self-manufactured transport aircraft. Its prototype is the An-2 light general transport aircraft designed by the Soviet Union in the 1940s.
This transport aircraft has obvious advantages and disadvantages.
Although it has been in service for more than sixty years, it is still active in my country's vast airspace because of its stable flight and low operating costs.
Furthermore, the Y-5 transport aircraft also has excellent low-altitude and low-speed performance and can fly very stably in low-altitude and low-speed environments.
The take-off distance is short and the runway requirements are low.
So after the Y-5 prototype was finalized in December 1957, it was immediately put into mass production.
So far.
A total of seven to eight hundred aircraft were produced.
Widely used in training, skydiving, sports, transportation and agriculture.
The Y-5 transport aircraft adopts the ancient double-wing design. The upper and lower wings have unequal wingspans. The frame is all metal and the skin is covered.
The plane shape of the wing is rectangular.
The upper wing is equipped with full-span automatic leading edge slats, slotted trailing edge flaps and differential ailerons.
The lower wingsuit has full-wing deployment slit flaps. This flap design gives the Y-5 good short take-off and landing performance.
Not to mention on the runway.
It can take off and land smoothly even on lawns, cement floors and other surfaces.
But like the shortcomings of all piston propeller aircraft, the Y-5 also has shortcomings such as too much noise and too shaking fuselage.
To put it bluntly.
The comfort is too poor.
It’s no different than riding on a tractor.
As the ‘cradle’ of the Republic’s Air Force, there is no shortage of aircraft in the sky.
But most of the planes in the airspace are already very low.
For example, for example, Beginner-6, for example, Yun-5.
"Stop complaining and check the folding condition of the parachute bag quickly. If you fail the inspection later, you But he will be scolded to death by Fang Naohao," Jiang Chen said in a low voice.
Zhang Jing curled his lips and replied, "We are just starting to inspect Class 1 now. It will be our turn at least two hours later, so we will have time."
Every time the skydiving training academy will send two transports - 5 transport aircraft.
It not only trains the driving skills of the seniors, but also meets the skydiving needs of the sophomores.
Hmm!
Win-win.
Boom. Boom.
The four Y-5 transport planes have made a deafening roar.
Slowly drove out of the tarmac.
It is in a straight shape.
Get ready to take off one by one.
The carrying capacity of a Y-5 transport aircraft is about 1.5 tons, and it can carry more than ten people.
So four Y-5 transport planes can transport one class of students.
Not for a while.
These four transport planes have slowly taken off successfully.
When the plane climbed into the airspace of about 500 meters, it immediately changed to a level flight attitude, then dispersed and flew towards the airborne training ground not far away.
The height of skydiving is very particular.
It’s too high.
It won’t work if it’s too low.
If you are a novice, the skydiving height is generally between 500 meters and 800 meters.
Four Y-5 transport planes continue to climb.
When the height reached more than 700 meters.
The hatch is opened.
Then I saw white ‘flowers’ floating down in the sky.
Just like large dandelions.
Not for a while.
The four Y-5 transport planes flew back to the airport.
It’s the turn of class two.
Wait until everyone in the second class has successfully boarded the plane.
Li Xingyun then looked at everyone in Class Three.
Said in a deep voice, "Open your parachute bags."
Everyone obeyed.
All open their parachute bags.
Li Xingyun immediately took several instructors to check one by one.
But everyone cherishes their lives.
So there is nothing wrong with folding umbrellas.
Inspection completed.
Li Xingyun then asked everyone to put on their parachute bags again.
Everyone’s parachute is divided into a main parachute and a secondary parachute.
The main umbrella is carried behind the back.
The parachute hangs on the chest.
After a while.
These four Y-5 transport planes once again flew overhead.
Jiang Chen raised his head and took a look.
Then took a deep breath.
He knows.
It was his turn.
