A big country of aerospace with black technology

Chapter 232 When will we sail to the deep blue?

"You guys are so fast!"

Yang Wei held Zhang Xingyang's hand in excitement and surprise and kept shaking it.

Not far away, engineering and technical personnel were busy installing equipment related to the aircraft carrier's arresting cables.

"I said that I will solve the problems you encounter as quickly as possible!"

Zhang Xingyang smiled and said.

"With the blocking cable, we can finally start serious ship landing training!" Yang Wei said, looking at the simulation platform in the distance.

Generally speaking, aircraft carrier-based aircraft pilots will practice at least 300 times on land platforms before taking off and landing from an aircraft carrier at sea.

Only after you are familiar with the various operations of aircraft carrier takeoff and landing can you actually take off and land on the sea.

"Has the pilot for the first test landing been identified?"

The risk of landing for the first time is very high, because no one knows what the situation is in all aspects.

Especially the blocking cable device, can it withstand the huge impact?

Except for Zhang Xingyang, who is in charge of R\u0026D work, and many researchers at the institute, no one has confidence.

"The pilot is Lei Gang. He just finished his work as a military instructor, so we asked him to come over." Yang Wei said still very excitedly.

"Up to now, he has been conducting aircraft carrier take-off training for several months and has also studied aircraft carrier landing for a long time. There should be no problem."

As a veteran pilot who has been flying for more than ten years, Lei Gang is indeed the top test pilot in the country.

Having flown both third-generation and fourth-generation aircraft, I have rich experience in handling emergencies.

Zhang Xingyang nodded and said, "With him here, there shouldn't be any problems."

The installation of the blocking cable is not very complicated and can be completed in two days.

The subsequent debugging work will be more troublesome.

Because various data of the fighter jet must be taken into account, more detailed fine-tuning of the hydraulic device, accumulator, etc. under the arresting cable must be made.

It took five days of debugging to adjust each device to a point where Zhang Xingyang was quite satisfied.

What they can do is almost over here.

Next, it’s time to watch the heroic and fearless test pilots perform!

The first flight was carried out using a light trainer aircraft.

Teach-6, the cradle of domestic pilots’ initial flight to the sky.

The biggest advantage is safety.

Even if an accident occurs, the pilot can return to the ground safely.

It was the first time to conduct ship landing training, and everyone was not proficient in all aspects. After a comprehensive inspection of domestically owned aircraft, Yang Wei and the others chose this aircraft.

"How's it going? It's your first time trying to land a ship. Are you confident?"

Before taking off, Zhang Xingyang asked Lei Gang.

Before the J-20's first flight, Zhang Xingyang also said similar words.

But Lei Gang's mood was completely different.

"Of course I have confidence!" Lei Gang said with a smile:

"Teacher-6, I've flown it countless times, and I'm very familiar with it."

"Even if there is no blocking rope, there will be no problem for me to land on the simulated platform!"

As a propeller-driven aircraft, the Teach-6 has relatively low requirements for landing.

Domestic pilots have recorded smooth landings on 280-meter-long loess.

In all aspects, the simulation platform is modeled after the aircraft carrier undergoing modification in the shipyard.

The length of the flight deck is only ten meters longer than the aircraft carrier, at 310 meters.

In fact, Teach 6 can land directly on it without even needing a blocking rope.

But it is impossible for an aircraft carrier to really use this old antique as a carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, teaching 6 is only the first step in ship landing training.

After that, they still need to try to land a heavy fighter jet on this cement aircraft carrier.

Only by trying to get out of the performance range of the arresting cable can they dare to let heavy fighter jets land on the cement aircraft carrier.

"Then I wish you a triumphant return in advance!" Zhang Xingyang said with some anticipation.

As the general person in charge, Yang Wei naturally did not miss the farewell scene: "I wish you a safe return!"

Lei Gang didn't say much after hearing the two blessings, he just saluted: "Pilot Lei Gang, apply for aircraft carrier takeoff and landing training!"

"approve!"

The propellers of the Teach 6 plane rotated like thunder, creating enough lift to make the plane fly.

Although it is not a real aircraft carrier, the relevant ground staff are meticulously performing their work in accordance with the aircraft carrier's take-off and landing procedures.

After the flight deck was cleared, two ground crew members gestured to Legan to fly.

Accompanied by two ground staff wearing yellow vests, they waved their arms crisply.

Lei Gang pushed the control stick of the plane, and Teach 6 began to accelerate slowly.

When he was nearing the end of the flight deck, he pulled the operating lever and raised the nose of the aircraft, successfully completing the takeoff operation from the aircraft carrier.

The staff on the ground applauded one after another as they watched the instructor take off smoothly and smoothly.

Zhang Xingyang also clapped vigorously and said to Yang Wei beside him:

"The takeoff is in good condition. You have put a lot of effort into takeoff training!"

There seems to be nothing complicated about aircraft carrier takeoff, but it tests comprehensive coordination skills.

Otherwise, various unexpected situations may easily occur.

In Zhang Xingyang's impression, the third brother's family once had an accident because a tractor was used as a tractor.

From this aspect, although Yang Wei and the others have never really used an aircraft carrier before, they have done much better than the third brother who claims to have decades of experience in using aircraft carriers.

Yang Wei didn't say anything after hearing this, he just turned his head and smiled.

In the sky, after Lei Gang circled the plane for several times, he began to prepare for landing on the aircraft carrier according to standard landing procedures.

Because he is flying a propeller aircraft, his flying speed is definitely not as fast as those of jet fighters.

Therefore, during the second flight, Lei Gang did not reduce his speed much.

However, he still adhered to the entire standard landing procedure.

He did not relax his requirements just because this was a propeller fighter.

When the fighter jet flew to the fifth side, Lei Gang controlled the nose of the plane and aimed it at the flight deck of the aircraft carrier.

Start to rub the throttle bit by bit to reduce the speed and height.

The plane flew to the front of the deck in a short time.

The landing gear had begun to contact the deck, making bursts of friction sounds.

"Snapped!"

The landing hook under the trainer aircraft successfully hooked onto the arresting cable.

Under the strong pulling force of the blocking cable, the speed of the trainer aircraft quickly slowed down.

Within seconds, it came to a complete stop.

After he stopped, the ground crew quickly came up and lowered the arresting cable from the landing hook.

Then, the trainer aircraft drove slowly and left the flight runway.

The entire landing training was a complete success!
