Test flight is different from ordinary flight. Ordinary flight is flying known aircraft, with flight manuals to rely on, while test flight is flying aircraft without flight manuals. They are the people who write flight manuals. They have to explore unknown areas, and even the most dangerous stall tail spin must be tested and tried to change it.

The finalization of a fighter plane is the fearless spirit of sacrifice of countless test pilots. A powerful national air force needs a group of brave and fearless test pilots!

Although today's flight is very dangerous and exposed that the fighter has great defects in some aspects, today's gains are still very great. This fighter will be tested in various aspects to find out the cause of the tremor.

At the scene, Mr. Deng and Mhamad praised the two pilots respectively, and made speeches at the same time, praising countless scientific and technological personnel and test flight personnel, and then returned to the West Aircraft Design Institute.

"Flying leopards are related to the navy's long-range offensive capabilities. Although we have encountered one difficulty after another during the development process, I believe that we will be able to complete the test flight and equip our naval forces." Director Ma Chenglin of the Military Aircraft Bureau of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, who accompanied him, said to Deng Gong.

In history, Feibao has been dismounted several times, but there are still some people who are fully supporting it. For example, the current three leaders, Ma Chenglin, Zhang Guozhi from the Science and Technology Department of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and Xu Ganquan from the Sea-mounted Aircraft Department, are very concerned about Feibao and hope to see Feibao equipment troops as soon as possible.

"Our navy lacks long-range strike power, especially our Xisha and Nansha Islands, which are even more eyed by nearby countries. If we want to ensure our maritime rights and interests, we must have long-range fighter jets." Deng Gong also said with emotion.

It is too far away and no existing fighter can fly, which is also a major reason why Flying Leopard can continue to develop. By using two Spey engines with very low fuel consumption, Flying Leopard's range is as high as 4,000 kilometers and the combat radius exceeds 1,600 kilometers.

While walking, chatting. When he walked to another workshop, Mr. Deng saw a fighter plane that was being broken up and disassembled, his eyes lit up: "Isn't this a Tomcat fighter plane?"

This kind of fighter jet left a deep impression on Mr. Deng. Now, although there is a fighter jet that has been disassembled in front of him, Mr. Deng can also see it.

In addition to the people from West Flight, there are many Pakistanis working on the spot.

The Pakistani engineers were excited to report when they saw the president coming. They were busy here day and night, and they did not expect the president to come.

"Report to the President, we are conducting reverse mapping of Tomcat fighter jets. The progress is currently going well. We have completed mapping of all components and are conducting structural mechanics analysis."

Eastern countries have strong copycat capabilities, and how to imitate has formed a basic set of steps. Now, if you want to imitate the tomcat, the first step is to survey and map.

Surveying and mapping every component of the Tomcat is the first step in manufacturing the body, but just surveying and mapping is far from enough. You must not only know the layout of the body, but also know why it is done and how the stress of each component is under. In this way, you can fully grasp the fighter jet and finally have enough confidence to modify it when you want to modify it.

The body of the fighter jet is composed of a skeleton and skin woven by cross beams and longitudinal beams. The body needs to be mapped and analyzed first.

Mhamad nodded: "This is the first step for our imitation. We don't want to be fast, we must be stable."

"Xiangfei is also in reverse mapping of Tomcats? Why don't the Third Department of Machinery not know about this?" At this moment, the Minister of the Third Department of Machinery said to Chen Yijian.

"We made a report last time." Chen Yijian said: "But the Ministry of Machinery did not approve it. Later, this project became our own project of Xifei, which raised funds and carried out projects with engineers from Pakistan."

The Third Machinery Department is still supporting Chen Fei. When he saw that Xifei had a new project, he immediately suppressed it. However, Xifei is no longer the Xifei in history. Through the Spey engine, Xifei has exchanged a large amount of foreign exchange, which is enough to support reverse surveying and mapping projects.

At the beginning, Chen Yijian really wanted to give up the Flying Leopard project, comprehensively survey and map the Tomcat, and develop a powerful attack aircraft. However, the Third Machinery Department did not approve it and required the development of the Flying Leopard immediately, and it was mainly the Navy's funds.

So Xifei decided to walk on two legs. On the one hand, it was developing the flying leopard, and on the other hand, it began to survey and map the tomcats. Now it is just the first step in surveying and mapping.

"Chairman, Xifei is probably too busy to carry out two key projects at the same time." said the minister of the Third Department of Machinery: "It is better to hand over the reverse mapping of the Tomcat to Chen Fei to complete. Chen Fei was originally a key factory for developing fighter jets. Now, the improvement of the J-82 is coming to an end, and the reverse mapping and manufacturing of the Tomcat can be carried out."

Hearing the words of the Minister of the Third Department of Machinery, Mr. Deng began to think quickly, which seemed to be a good idea.

"No, I object." Looking at the minister of the Third Department of Machinery, he began to take business with Chen Fei in front of him, as a foreign president. Moreover, he did not take himself seriously at all. He cooperated with Xifei. This was his own plan, and both sides began to develop it in an orderly manner.

Xifei has made a report. In the past, every time he called, he was suppressed by the Third Machinery Department. Now, seeing that the project has been launched normally, I can't wait to move to Shenfei, and Mhamad is very dissatisfied.

"Our cooperation with Xifei and Chengfei is in an orderly manner. We are very satisfied with these two aircraft design institutes and are collaborating. We do not want to change to another unit." Mhamad said: "What's more, the Third Department of Machinery did not agree to our cooperation project at all. It was completely developed by Xifei's self-raised funds."

Hearing Mhamad's words, the minister of the Third Department of Machinery looked embarrassed, and his mouth moved a few times, and he said nothing.

"Yes, our navy is also very satisfied with the development progress of Westward Aircraft." Minister Xu Ganquan of the Seaflight Department also said: "Surveying and mapping Tomcats is more related to the future development of our navy. One day, when our country's economic strength allows, we will also start to build aircraft carriers. At that time, the Tomcat fighter will be a fighter that is very suitable for shipboard."

The Air Force gave up the Flying Leopard project, which relied on the Navy's meager capital injection, which allowed the Flying Leopard to continue. Now, seeing that the West Aircraft has developed and has more advanced projects, the Navy really hopes that the West Aircraft will host it.

"However, Xifei's technical strength is not enough, and the development of Feibao has already made all the personnel of Xifei very busy. There have been many twists and turns in the development of Feibao. I think it is Xifei that will continue to develop Feibao and concentrate all its energy to solve the problem of Feibao." The minister of the Third Department of Machinery continued.

"Chairman, we fly west, have the confidence and ability to complete the work of surveying and mapping the tomcats." Chen Yijian held his breath and said to Deng Gong.

Obviously, Mr. Deng was still hesitant.

After all, Xifei's technical strength is really not strong enough. A flying leopard involves Xifei's energy.

"I think Xifei can cooperate with Chengfei." Mhamad said: "The first thing to survey and map the Tomcat's body is not only to imitate, but also to transform. In addition to the updated fire control system, there is also a control system, which needs to be replaced with the control of the Tomcat fighter jet with a 4-degree digital fax operation. These, Chengfei has more advantages than Chenfei. It seems that Chenfei does not have the ability to develop a 4-degree digital fax, right?"

Mhamad looked at the minister of the Third Department of Machinery. Sure enough, the other party was mute now and stopped talking.

Cheng Fei is currently working on Project No. 10, which has become a national key project. In order to pursue good aerodynamic performance, the canard wing layout is used. The main delta wing is at the back and the front is movable canard wings to achieve a performance leap. However, the duck-style layout is inherently instable and must be controlled by using a telex system.

Therefore, Cheng Fei has been overcoming the difficulties of digital telex. After they conquer, whether it is a Flying Leopard or a Tomcat, they can be replaced with digital telex.

Tomcat was born in 1972. At that time, digital telex was just an imagination. Without modern advanced electronic technology, there would be no such control.

Therefore, the early Tomcats used hydraulic operations. Of course, although they were hydraulic, they were much lighter than the MiG29's.

In the later stage, a modern improvement of Tomcats was digital telex.

When the early Tomcat fighter carried many expensive and heavy high-value ammunitions, such as the six Immortal missiles, when they returned to the mothership, for various reasons, such as fast landing speed, etc., some of them must be part of them to ensure safe return to the mothership. Grumman's later improvement was to increase the wing size and equip a new flap-aileron structure with increased lift. At the same time, the use of a fly-by-wire control system to help control the wing surface more accurately; when the aileron is lowered, the early F-1 4 It is necessary to adjust the aerodynamic center of gravity to eliminate the head sinking torque generated by the aileron. After using the four-degree fully digital fax control system, the improved winglet winglet generates lift to offset the sinking torque. These improvements allow the Tomcat fighter to carry more than two tons of ammunition back and the landing speed is reduced by 12 knots; and after eliminating the head sinking torque, the tail of the tail is reduced when maneuvering, and the maneuverability of the air combat is increased by about 20%, and the steering flexibility is improved at the same time.

Therefore, while mapping and imitating Tomcats, using telex operations to make the tomcats have more powerful performance is essential, and just this 4-degree digital telex is something that Chen Fei cannot handle. (To be continued.)
