When Wang Xuexin rushed to the auto repair shop, the test pilot had already arrived.

The test pilot's name was Kang Zheng, and Wang Xuexin noticed some hesitation in his eyes when he looked at the "Mig-15".

Test pilots are usually selected from the elite pilots because they have to try various maneuvers and conditions and even extreme flight speeds, so that they can fully understand the performance and characteristics of the aircraft and reduce the losses of front-line pilots as much as possible.

But it was slightly different during the war. Most of the elites of the Eighth Route Army were transferred by the Coastal Defense Regiment to become carrier-based aircraft pilots. The test pilots could only be selected from the remaining pilots, and Kang Zheng was one of them.

This is not to say that Kang Zheng is not good enough. In fact, he is very talented in flying.

The problem is that he is a newbie who has only been flying for four months.

In modern times, it would be crazy for a novice who has only been flying for five months to be used as a test pilot. This is not only irresponsible to the test pilot but also irresponsible to the project... Once something goes wrong during the test flight, "MiG-15" "I'm afraid his service will be postponed for another month.

But at this time, the Eighth Route Army had this condition, and the situation on the battlefield forced the Eighth Route Army to do this.

But Wang Xuexin is very confident.

He called Kang Zheng aside and asked, "How are you doing? Are you confident?"

"Report to the leader, I am confident!" Kang Zheng stepped forward and replied.

"to be frank!"

Kang Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then replied with a hint of embarrassment: "Captain, I have never seen such an aircraft before, it's a bit false!"

Then he looked in the direction of "Mig-15".

Wang Xuexin can understand Kang Zheng's performance. A swept-wing jet fighter may not be a big deal in modern times, but it is a monster in this era. Its speed is also unimaginable in this era.

Therefore, this test flight is an exploration in a field that is completely unfamiliar to humans. It is an attempt. No one knows what problems will occur.

However, these are no strangers to Wang Xuexin, especially since he has a system.

"Don't worry, we can probably calculate its performance and data!" Wang Xuexin patted Kang Zheng on the shoulder, and then raised his head to Professor Su and others who were calculating something aside: "We just want to know whether the results of our calculations are That’s right, understand?”

"Ming...understand!" Kang Zheng was a little confused, because not long ago Professor Su told him that he knew nothing about this fighter, which was different from what the regiment leader said.

However, Kang Zheng soon understood that perhaps the research institute had just calculated it.

"But these data must be kept confidential!" Wang Xuexin emphasized: "You cannot discuss it with anyone, including the staff of the institute!"

"Yes!" Kang Zheng stood up and answered.

Secrecy is the most basic rule for a test pilot, and he can certainly do it.

Wang Xuexin nodded and said: "We believe that this kind of swept-wing fighter will cause a loss of wing lift because of its swept wings, so it will need a longer taxiing distance to take off. It is estimated that it will take It’s about 1000 meters, and the landing distance is the same, so you have to be mentally prepared!”

The exact data is 880 meters.

But Wang Xuexin couldn't say that accurately, and the length of 120 meters is only a moment for a fighter plane to take off. Wang Xuexin said it was a little longer to give Kang Zheng more reaction time.

"Yes!" Kang Zheng responded, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This data is very important to him. Originally, he thought that the take-off distance of this fighter should be similar to the "Wildcat" fighter, at most a little longer than the "Wildcat" fighter to 500 meters.

(Note: The rolling distance of the "Wildcat" fighter is 427 meters)

After all, this is a new fighter aircraft, and its swept wings will increase the wing area a lot...

The wings of a straight-wing aircraft are vertical and the wing area is approximately rectangular.

The wings of a swept-wing aircraft are set back at an angle, and the wing area of ​​a swept-wing aircraft is larger than that of a straight wing with the same wingspan.

If you think based on inertial thinking, you will take it for granted that the larger the wing area, the greater the lift, and the shorter the take-off and landing distance.

Kang Zheng thought so too.

But Wang Xuexin told him that the take-off and landing distance was longer and much longer...

It is conceivable that if Kang Zheng did not know this, he would probably make a mistake at the moment of takeoff.

Or if you haven’t taken off at 500 meters, you may think that the takeoff has failed and make the wrong choice.

Now that Wang Xuexin said this, Kang Zheng felt confident.

"Its top speed may reach 1000 kilometers per hour!" Wang Xuexin said.

"What?" Kang Zheng was startled by Wang Xuexin's words: "Speed... 1000 kilometers per hour?"

Although some countries in this era claimed that their aircraft could fly at speeds of more than 800 kilometers per hour, the verified official world record was 755 kilometers per hour.

As a pilot, Kang Zheng certainly knew this. He even thought that this was the limit of human aircraft.

But now Wang Xuexin actually told him that this aircraft can actually fly at a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour.

This not only broke the world record, but also exceeded about 250 kilometers in one fell swoop.

"Yes, is it possible?" Kang Zheng looked at Wang Xuexin dubiously: "No fighter plane can reach a speed of one thousand kilometers per hour!"

"You will know after you try it!" Wang Xuexin said: "But today's test flight does not need to challenge the speed. In principle, you only need to verify its take-off and landing distance! Remember the other data I mentioned first and then slowly verify!"

"Yes!" Kang Zheng swallowed hard and couldn't help but look at the strange fighter plane again, feeling scared and excited at the same time.

A speed of one thousand kilometers per hour means that he is about to become the fastest person in the world.

In addition, if this fighter plane is put into service, will the Japanese fighter planes with a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour still be opponents?Its speed is almost half that of this fighter!

Wang Xuexin continued:

"The maximum ceiling is about 15000 meters!"

"The climb rate is about 50 meters per second!"

"Its high-speed performance is better, and its flight in high-speed areas is much more stable than traditional fighters. That is, the faster it is, the more stable it is!"

"But be careful..."

Wang Xuexin paused here and said with emphasis:

"Try not to make high-angle-of-attack maneuvers when flying at high speed, as it may cause a stall!"

"Did you remember it all?"

Kang Zheng stood up and replied: "Remember it!"

Wang Xuexin added: "I remind you again, as long as you know these data, you are not allowed to discuss it with anyone!"

"Yes!"

Then there won't be much danger in this test flight.

It can even be said that this fighter has already been tested, because the various data are already known to be close to ten, and even if there are some differences, they are completely within the acceptable range.

When Wang Xuexin was about to leave, Kang Zheng caught up with him and asked, "Captain, what model is this plane?"

Wang Xuexin thought for a while and replied with two words: "J-2!"
