"Boom!" With a roar, the PW4000 engine, which has been running at full load for half an hour, is steadily outputting high power.
I don’t know whether it was because of prayers all the way or the blessing of the goddess of luck, but the left-wing engine did not fail and was strong and reliable, allowing the flight to reach its destination.
If the left wing engine fails, the passenger plane with only a little gliding power will quickly fall downwards. If there is a city on the ground, the escorting J-10 will destroy the passenger plane without hesitation.
The lives of more than 300 people on a passenger plane are important, but they are far less important than the lives of thousands of people on the ground.
This is cruel, but a choice must be made.
Fortunately, this flower of modern industry did not wither, nor did it disappoint Zhou Hai.
The three J-10 fighter jets, which had already received the order, all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Call the tower, call the tower, flight CZ8954 is approaching, requesting an emergency landing."
Zhou Hai carefully observed the airport with his eyes, his hands were like flying, and he worked hard to control the plane to change the flight angle, gradually lower the altitude, and issued an emergency landing request to the airport tower.
In the sky, there were countless passenger planes that could be regarded as the center of attention. With their fierce momentum, they streaked across the sky like meteors and pointed directly at the huge airport.
The right engine caught fire and stopped, causing a hole in the cockpit. The landing gear could not be opened. The Boeing 777-200 airliner, with a left and right wingspan of 60.9 meters, managed to reach this point and maintained a lateral right-leaning flight attitude of 4°, with the wingtips diverting air. , gradually lowering its flight altitude.
The three J-10s maintained an altitude of 1,500 meters and circled in formation. They did not leave immediately. They would never abandon the eagle belonging to the army.
"Flight CZ8954, the ground wind is southerly, wind speed level 2, no gusts, no crosswinds, corrected field pressure 1015, please land on runway 2, ground rescue measures are ready."
The airport tower controller stared at the all-white Boeing 777 in the northeast direction and immediately gave the ground parameters: "Everything is safe!"
At the end of Runway 2, twenty fire trucks and a large number of special vehicles had started their engines and were on standby, waiting for the plane to make an emergency landing.
"My plane has received it and is preparing to make an emergency landing! Please pay attention to all passengers, we are about to make an emergency landing!"
Staring at Runway 2, which was getting closer and closer, Zhou Hai's voice was steady and powerful. He clenched the control stick with his right hand to adjust the flight attitude and closed the throttle.
As the altitude of the plane gradually dropped, the atmospheric pressure and temperature in the cockpit returned to normal, and the wind blowing from the metal holes seemed a little warm.
Next, is the most critical emergency landing step.
Before arriving at Shicheng Airport, Zhou Hai had already tried to open the landing gear during flight, but it was all in vain.
An emergency landing without landing gear is not recorded in the aircraft standard manual.
In the cabin, as Zhou Hai issued the notice, all the passengers looked nervous, held their breath, and held on to their seat belts.
"Brother, it's up to you whether I can go back and hug my wife." Zhang Peng sat on the chair, feeling that the plane was about to make an emergency landing, and prayed silently in his heart.
"Buzz!" The sound of the aircraft engine was reduced to a minimum and no longer output power.
The speed is getting lower and lower, and the entire flight has dropped to the critical stall line of 280 kilometers per hour.
However, this is not enough!
Contacting the runway at 280 kilometers per hour would have disastrous consequences.
"Da da da!"
Zhou Hai looked at the concrete surface of Runway 2 getting closer and closer, his mind was extremely calm, his clear eyes were shining, staring at the straight and slender airport runway.
The left hand is so fast that it forms an afterimage, operating the flaps and ailerons, and the spoilers are raised at all angles and open.
"Now!" Zhou Hai stared at the runway that was getting closer and closer. Just when the nose of the plane was about to collide, he pulled back the control panel with both hands and suddenly raised the sinking nose of the plane.
Raise!
Raise your proud head like an eagle!
The flaperons and spoilers are fully opened to slow down, which greatly reduces the pressure difference and aerodynamic efficiency generated by the left and right wings.
At the critical moment when the nose of the plane was about to touch the ground for landing, following Zhou Hai's operation, the nose of the plane was raised by more than ten degrees. The 18.5-meter-tall fuselage changed its angle of attack, pulled out a beautiful arc angle, and returned to a horizontal attitude. It did not touch the hard concrete ground, but flew at an ultra-low altitude close to the ground at a height of less than one meter.
slow down!
Crazy slowdown!
"What the hell, is there such an operation?!!!" The controller with high-power optical telescopes in both hands looked at this scene and was completely stunned.
At this moment, many people in the airport tower who were watching the plane make an emergency landing were in an uproar.
250 kilometers!
200 kilometers!
150 kilometers!
100 kilometers!
After the entire flight decelerated and flew for more than 200 meters at a height of less than one meter close to the ground, the speed dropped to the high-speed state of a ground vehicle. Its accumulated energy was exhausted, and the nose of the aircraft, which was slightly raised, began to sink.
"boom!"
The passenger plane, which was still decelerating, was finally unable to lower its proud head. The lower side of the nose first touched the ground, making a sound, and then the slender and round fuselage touched the concrete runway ground, creating countless dazzling sparks, leaving behind The next shocking white scratches.
The entire cockpit was in a state of violent vibration. Countless metal fragments vibrated and even bounced around, causing sparks to fly. Five LCD screens were shattered. Zhou Hai was extremely calm and worked hard to stabilize the control panel and control the fuselage.
At this time, anyone can mess up, but he can't mess up!
If the fuselage cannot be stabilized, it may have catastrophic consequences.
"Squeak!" A sharp and harsh friction sound resounded all around, and countless passengers screamed in the cabin.
friction!
Violent friction!
The flaperons and spoilers that are raised and opened at all angles still play a role in assisting the fuselage to decelerate due to the friction between the fuselage and the ground. Flights with a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour have more inertia and energy due to their huge weight.
The Boeing 777 passenger plane weighing more than 100 tons rubbed against Runway 2 for nearly 100 meters before finally stopping.
The fuselage was not broken at all, and the wings were intact. Only the nose was in terrible shape.
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry! All rescue units, hurry!"
When the passenger plane came to a steady stop, the airport's ground rescue personnel almost went crazy. Orange fire trucks and other rescue vehicles rushed towards the passenger plane in the middle of the second runway like wild horses.
There was silence in the cabin. A passenger and a stewardess who thought they were about to die, but survived, cheered wildly after a brief cheer.
Survived!
Before facing the embrace of death, they survived because of the rescue of a People's Liberation Army soldier!
No one was killed during the entire emergency landing. Even the captain and co-pilot were still alive and had no pulse. Star Li He, who was thrown away by Zhou Hai, cried with joy with half of his cheeks swollen.
