Chapter 405 Why is it you again? (Ten thousand a day, please give me a monthly ticket)
Almost everyone present naturally wanted to take a photo with the test pilot and the aircraft at this historic moment.
Just considering that Lei Qiang had just completed his first flight, even if his physical condition seemed to be normal, the post-flight inspection and test flight report still had to be completed, so I met Song Wenchong, Yang Wei and Chang Haonan again. After taking a group photo with some people inside, he left the cockpit and set foot on the ground again at the strong request of the ground crew.
Almost at the same time, several handfuls of flowers from different individuals and units were delivered to Lei Qiang at almost the same time, so much so that he almost couldn't catch them.
Immediately afterwards, all kinds of questions filled my ears.
About the plane, about the first flight, about himself.
Lei Qiang could only distinguish a few familiar voices to answer:
"The aircraft is very comfortable to fly, and the pole position operation is generally intuitive..."
“I can’t feel the light effect in the cockpit. It’s daytime, I have to wait until night flight...”
“The operation feels generally light and the response speed is very fast, especially the power, the push rod has it! ”
"..."
A minibus drove from a distance, with a medical team that was already prepared sitting on it. They will conduct a complete physical examination of the test pilot to eliminate the last hidden danger.
Before getting on the bus, Lei Qiang shook hands and hugged several comrades who were responsible for key parts of Project 10.
When it was Chang Haonan's turn, he even patted him hard on the back.
Judging from the force used and the banging sound, he may not be photographing others because he is too old to bear these few blows.
"Comrade Haonan, your engine control system is absolutely as valuable to the pilot as the ejection seat!"
This is naturally a very high praise.
While speaking, familiar faces appeared in Lei Qiang's mind one after another, making him excited and a little sad at the same time.
Too many people did not get to see this day.
Considering that there are still some necessary post-flight inspections and maintenance to be done after the plane lands, and that it is neither decent nor safe for a large group of people to stay on the tarmac for a long time in a mess, so after picking up the pilot After the plane, except for the necessary ground crew and other technical personnel, everyone quickly moved by car to the small auditorium of Factory 132.
Chang Haonan has also ridden in Toyota Coaster, which is specially responsible for reception work in various units, several times before, but this is indeed the first time he has experienced this model that has been specially modified to transport VIPs.
In addition to the routine removal of the seats and replacing them with conference tables, the material and size of the seats are also much larger, similar to those in first class airplanes.
The cab and passenger cabin are separated, and there are many screens, communication equipment and simple living facilities installed on the car.
It can’t be said to be very magnificent, but overall it is closer to the cabin of a passenger aircraft that has been reduced by a few sizes.
On the way out of the airport, Chang Haonan looked through the side window of the minibus and saw many employees and family members of the 132 factory who had not been able to enter the infield to watch the first flight, staying on the roadside. They hugged each other, some cheered at the motorcade, and others wiped the corners of their eyes.
It took 11 years from the project establishment in 1986 to the successful first flight.
Although these people did not leave their names in the history books like Song Wenchong or Xue Chishou, they still devoted all their efforts to the No. 10 Project.
Everyone regards this plane as their own child.
"Comrade Wen Cong, after the successful first flight, do you have any follow-up plans for the follow-up development of Project 10? I want to hear it."
The senior leader in the same car put down his dial The hand that opened the sunshade turned around and asked Song Wencong, who was sitting in the row slightly behind.
The tone of the question was relaxed, sounding more like a casual conversation than a formal leadership question.
Perhaps for this reason, Song Wenchong thought for a while and said sincerely:
"Chief, this question should be answered by Comrade Yang Wei. He is the follow-up developer of the J-10 The main person in charge of the work ”
Obviously, this is creating opportunities for young people.
Song Wenchong, born in 1930, is nearly 70 years old this year.
According to the original plan, he was ready to retire after completing the design of the J-7C. It was entirely because he couldn't let go of Project 10 that he gave up his leisurely retirement life and worked hard on the front line until today. But as he grew older, he did feel that his energy and concentration had declined significantly compared to when he was young.
Now that the J-10 has successfully made its first flight, he will at best escort the basic model until it is finalized and put into service. As for the subsequent longer-term development plan, there is no doubt that the baton will be handed over to the next generation. Finish.
In fact, the chief designer of the two-seat J-10 model that is already in the design stage is Yang Wei.
The world will eventually belong to young people.
Yang Wei, who was further back in the row, was suddenly stunned when he heard his name, and then noticed the encouraging look from Song Wenchong.
So he calmed down and answered:
“We currently have two prototypes in production, namely the No. 02 machine used for static testing and the No. 02 machine with complete avionics installed. For the No. 03 machine that is testing fire control equipment, about 40% of the test flight project will be completed by the two first-stage prototypes 01 and 03. According to the plan, the subsequent verification machines No. 04 and 06 will be carried out in terms of overall design. Upgrade..."
"The two-seat trainer model is also developing simultaneously. The current planned name should be called J-10S. The overall design has basically come to an end. However, the prototype production work is still planned to be basically stable on the single-seat model. We will do it later...”
Yang Wei’s answer was relatively general and did not involve too many specific technical details and proper nouns——
If you introduce a technical concept that is relatively unfamiliar to everyone, you may need ten other technical concepts to explain it. This will be endless and will only make the entire answer lengthy and lacking focus.
But if you don’t explain it, firstly, it will cause others to be confused, and secondly, it will also appear that they are not very smart.
So this is basically the most effective way to deal with non-industry people.
However, the chief in front of me also has an engineering background. He almost went to university to become a professor. Although he was not an aviation major, he knew everything about some things, and at least his understanding was definitely online.
“So the two prototypes of 01/03 will adopt different design solutions from other prototypes that will follow. Where are the upgrades specifically?”
Project No. 10 was a project that he personally decided to save. Now that it has finally achieved some landmark results, he is naturally very concerned about its subsequent development.
"We plan to use a boundary layer-free supersonic inlet. To put it simply..."
Yang Wei racked his brains and hoped to use easier-to-understand language. The DSI inlet was described, but the leader in front of him had obviously done a lot of homework:
“Is it the one the Americans are going to use in the JSF project?”
This answer was indeed surprising. As everyone expected, you must know that the proliferation of consultations these days is not very developed, such as JSF projects, and DSI air intakes. Not to mention laymen, even some ordinary practitioners, if they are not specifically following the forefront of the industry, Information may not be available in such a timely manner.
"Yes, that's right. It has a simpler structure, lighter weight, and smaller radar reflection area. It is the most cutting-edge technology at present."
Strictly speaking, before the real flexible skin technology is put into use However, due to its inevitable narrow optimization range, the DSI air intake is still difficult to simply define as "better".
But it is definitely more advanced and more difficult to design.
“Can we guarantee that this cutting-edge technology will be put into use on the fourth prototype? I mean, will the pursuit of advancement affect the project progress?”
Knowledgeable leaders obviously consider issues more comprehensively.
"You can rest assured about this. In fact, the DSI air intake has been pre-tested on another model by Comrade Chang Haonan..."
The chief followed Yang Wei's instructions and looked at the person who had not seen him before. Chang Haonan spoke.
At this moment, the latter was very sure that he saw a flash of emotion called "shock" in the other person's eyes.
That probably means:
“Why is it you again?”
