Junior pilots have 300-1,000 flying hours. At this stage, they already have combat capabilities and can take on combat readiness duties.
Intermediate pilots have 1,000-3,000 flying hours, rich flying experience, and superb skills. They have crossed the threshold of the so-called "old pilot".
Senior pilots, with 3000-8000 flying hours, excellent skills, extremely talented, familiar with all kinds of air combat, possessing superb air combat skills, are the treasures of the Air Force, and the loss of one of them is extremely painful.
A top pilot with more than 8,000 flying hours and top skills, like a peerless master in martial arts novels, who has comprehensively mastered flying skills and reached the level of proficiency. He is generally regarded as the top test pilot of the Air Force and the mainstay in the construction and development of the Air Force.
Commonly known as an ace pilot, if he has experienced actual combat and shot down more than five enemy planes, he is called a super ace pilot.
In addition to the number of flight hours, there is also a hierarchy of the number of enemy aircraft shot down. This system is a shortcut, just like the adventures of characters in martial arts novels.
It is a recognized rule in the world's aviation field that as long as you shoot down five enemy planes, you can become an ace pilot and enjoy endless glory and glory.
Even if your flight hours are 1 hour, you only need to shoot down five enemy planes. Congratulations, you will be directly promoted to the top pilot level and enjoy the glory brought by the title of ace pilot.
As for the title of ace pilot, one person will never be forgotten in the history of world aviation.
A legend that stands at the top of the sky, a myth that scares countless Allied pilots.
During World War II, a young man named Erich Hartmann entered the German Air Force. During the entire service, Hartmann shot down a total of 352 enemy aircraft.
352 aircraft!
The meaning behind this number is shocking.
"Groan!"
Xia Chan's annoying voice echoed throughout Dormitory No. 2.
Saying goodbye to the dormitory manager who was familiar with computer operations, Zhou Hai took the dormitory key and suitcase, entered the dormitory building, went up the stairs to the fifth floor, and found dormitory No. 502 with the door closed.
Unlock the door and enter.
The dormitory is for four people, with an area of about 30 square meters. It is spacious and clean, equipped with a separate toilet and balcony. There are no roommates yet.
After looking at the situation in the dormitory, Zhou Hai chose the upper bunk on the left hand side of the door. There was a layer of moisture-proof hay on the surface of the bed, and there were no sheets, mattresses or other items.
"You should get the sheets, pillows and mattresses later. If you have nothing to do now, let's just read some books."
Zhou Hai glanced at it, then opened his luggage, took out a professional book on an introduction to flight control systems, sat on the edge of the bed, and read quietly.
The book "Introduction to Flight Control Systems" mainly tells the history of aircraft flight control systems, various types and functions, as well as the overall overview of current digital fly-by-wire control systems, future development prospects, etc., and describes in detail why fly-by-wire control systems are Can replace mechanical control system.
"Boom!"
Not long after, there was a clear and short knock on the door.
"Please come in, the door is unlocked."
Zhou Hai heard the knock on the door, came back to his senses, closed the book, and said seriously.
"Hello, I'm Xin...fuck, Zhou Hai, is it you?!"
The dormitory door was slowly pushed open, and a polite and clear Mandarin message came out. A boy with a resolute and sunny face walked in. After seeing Zhou Hai, he was stunned and a little incredible.
"Are you a candidate from the Capital Selection Center?" Zhou Hai looked at the boy in front of him, and his memory immediately emerged from more than a month ago. He had seen this boy before, but he didn't know his name, let alone recognize him.
"Hello, my name is Yang Miao, from Zhu City, Guangzhou Province. Nice to meet you."
Looking at Zhou Hai with both eyes, Yang Miao had a sunny and bright smile on his face. He extended his right hand to Zhou Hai and said seriously: "I admired you very much at the beginning. You are so awesome. You are so powerful when you are sitting on that multi-dimensional detector."
Putting down his books, Zhou Hai stood up, with a spring breeze-like smile on his face, and shook hands with Yang Miao: "Hello, my name is Zhou Hai, from Rongcheng, Sichuan Province. I'm glad to meet you. From now on, we will be comrades-in-arms."
Shake hands and salute.
The meaning of the word "comrade-in-arms" is self-evident to every soldier who has experienced military career.
"Yes, we are comrades-in-arms."
Yang Miao took a deep breath, suppressed her inner emotions, her smile subsided, her face was solemn and solemn, she nodded, and looked at the two empty beds: "I don't know when our other two comrades will arrive."
"Wait for a while, it will arrive soon." Zhou Hai smiled, sat on the bed again, and picked up Introduction to Flight Control Principles.
"Zhou Hai, what do you see? Could it be an unknown villain's book?" Looking at Zhou Hai holding a book, Yang Miao said softly with a mysterious smile on his face.
"One of the required courses for pilot self-cultivation, "Introduction to Flight Control Systems", published by the National Defense Industry Press. The author is Academician Yang Wei, who compiled the book when he was the deputy director of Chengluo Ma. Do you want to read it?" Zhou Hai He shook his head with a smile, his eyes showed a hint of amusement, he raised the thick book in his hand, shook it, and joked.
"..."
Looking at the thick book gently shaking in Zhou Hai's hand, the joking Yang Miao was stunned for a moment, with a speechless look on his face. He felt a little bad all over. After thinking about it, he asked doubtfully: "Zhou Hai, this, what is this?" On one of the required courses for pilot self-cultivation?"
Yang Miao has heard of this book Introduction to Flight Control Systems.
As for the author, Academician Yang Wei, Yang Miao knows it very well.
Academician Yang Wei, who single-handedly created the J-20 'Vyron' stealth fighter, is like a mainstay, supporting half of the entire Chinese aviation industry, making the entire Chinese Air Force second only to the United States equipped with fourth-generation stealth fighters, giving way to the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute in the southwest. Become Chengluoma in the hearts of countless people!
What is Chengluoma?
Cheng is the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute, while Lockheed Martin is the American Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. It is engaged in the aerospace industry and is currently the world's largest weapons manufacturer with a market value of nearly 100 billion US dollars.
Lockheed Martin develops the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter and F-35 Lightning joint fighter for the U.S. Air Force. It is currently the world's leading military-industrial enterprise. It single-handedly dominates the entire aviation industry.
Yang Miao deeply understands the status of Academician Yang Wei, who single-handedly created the J-20 stealth fighter, in the entire Chinese aviation industry.
However, he still didn't understand what it was - the required course of self-cultivation for pilots.
"When it comes to pilot self-cultivation, it's very simple. Let me show you that you must be proficient in aerodynamics, flight principles, flight control systems, aviation psychology, primary flight command and operations, military science and avionics. Of course, there are also There is a hidden assessment.”
With a smile on his face, Zhou Hai took the suitcase next to him, opened the zipper, and revealed various types of professional books quietly placed inside. Like a hospitable host, he took out the Basics of Aerodynamics that he had first read and recommended: "I first recommend you to study the fifth edition of Fundamentals of Aerodynamics. How about it? Whatever you want to learn, I have it here."
