The complex operation steps integrated into the subconscious mind are executed one by one through the hands.
Soaring in the chaotic sky, the L-15C Falcon accelerated to Mach 55, suddenly raised its round and slender nose, entered an extreme and precise arc angle, spiraled around the vertical axis, and flipped its body. Circle, in an extremely high angle of attack and high sideslip angle state, the aerodynamic rudder surface of the airframe changes drastically and is on the verge of stalling.
The reverse yaw effect occurred, and the operation method was reversed instantly. Zhou Hai held the joystick tightly and controlled the ailerons to yaw. After precessing along the extreme arc to an altitude of about 200 meters, the L-15C Falcon under him reached the angle Fixed point.
Collect the oil and press the rod.
Under the dual effects of aileron yaw and huge inertia, the aircraft body in extreme flight state at high speed, the horizontally rotating nose and fuselage, successively changed the trajectory angle and direction, and completed a 180° turn in the opposite direction to the initial flight trajectory. , and then speed up the recovery.
Herbst Maneuver, the ticket to become a top pilot, has been completely mastered by Zhou Hai, integrated into his combat instinct, and has reached the point where he can do whatever he wants.
What is progress?
This is!
The illusion of execution was reduced from the initial altitude of 10,000 meters to the height of 3,000 meters, from unfamiliar and stiff to smooth and comfortable.
After completing the most difficult Herbst maneuver, Zhou Hai quickly pressed the pole, lowered his altitude, followed the predetermined route given by the base tower, and prepared to use ultra-low-altitude penetration to head straight to the target airspace.
Towards the southwest, the target airspace was the junction of the two provinces 130 kilometers away, where a target drone was about to take off, waiting for his favor.
"The performance was perfect, and I was not disappointed." On the ground, Yang Xiaolong, who had disappeared as soon as he arrived at the Quzhou base, stood at the edge of the base, holding a high-power optical telescope in both hands, watching the L-15C Falcon that quickly left, and nodded with satisfaction. , whispered softly.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the apron area of the base was somewhat solidified. After watching Zhou Hai's three advanced air combat maneuvers with their own eyes, all the students remained silent.
Assessment is the time to test learning results.
Although the specific results of Zhou Hai's performance in this single-machine air combat assessment have not yet been released, everyone still feels that there is a huge gap.
…
On the distant horizon, a light symbolizing hope gradually emerges, dispersing the erosion and traces of the night.
The silver-gray L-15C Falcon with a science fiction atmosphere was illuminated by rays of sunlight. It maintained a relative height of fifty meters to the ground and flew by at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
Ultra-low altitude flying, a technology mastered by a few top pilots, has unique charm and excitement, and the flying experience is excellent.
Lush woods, vast land, ever-changing landscapes, endless green rice fields, all kinds of things rush towards you, seeming to be within reach, and then sweep away in an instant.
Although it felt good to fly at ultra-low altitude, Zhou Hai, who could control the war eagle steadily, did not dare to take it lightly. He was highly concentrated and his eyes scanned the surroundings like radar. Once an abnormality was discovered, he immediately made adjustments.
To be honest, Zhou Hai couldn't help but feel a little worried. He really didn't want to bump into another unlucky bird.
Top bird hitting expert, this title is no joke.
At a speed of 600, even a tiny sparrow can cause a devastating blow. The danger and severity are far greater than the last collision with a flock of pigeons.
If it crashes again, the new machine that is less than two months old will be scrapped, resulting in a loss of 60 million yuan.
Fortunately, the probability of a bird collision is still very small, and the ultra-low-altitude penetration was without incident, nor did we encounter any worried unlucky birds.
The L-15C Falcon passed through the endless paddy fields in the south where rice is grown, and passed over rugged hills and steep peaks. It flew steadily for about a hundred kilometers and was about to reach the target airspace.
The target airspace located at the junction of the two provinces happens to be located in the southeastern hilly area, with complex and changeable landforms.
"Huh, okay, we're still thirty kilometers away from the target airspace. Get ready to climb."
A tense Zhou Hai made corresponding adjustments to the changes in the landscape while checking the flight data provided by the EZVIZ airborne avionics system. He breathed a sigh of relief, then slightly pulled the lever and climbed steadily, looking straight ahead.
The altitude gradually increased. At this time, Zhou Hai suddenly noticed an abnormality in the airspace out of the corner of his eye.
To the northwest, at three o'clock on the right side of the L-15C Falcon, about ten kilometers away, a silver-white medium-sized drone with a wingspan of about five meters flew closely against the complex terrain of the southeastern hilly area. It is stable, with a medium swept wing in appearance, and a propeller at the tail end. It has a speed of about 200 kilometers per hour and a flying altitude of about meters.
The lower end of the nose is also equipped with a small glass-mounted bulge, which contains the probe of the high-definition observation equipment.
Is this a drone?
Zhou Hai was slightly confused when he first spotted the drone. Suddenly, when he carefully observed the drone with his eyes, the former wings suddenly appeared in his mind.
Drone!
A drone with medium swept wings and propeller propulsion!
Isn't this the armed drone he encountered on his first solo flight on Chujiao Liu?
Zhou Hai instantly became excited and angry. He gritted his teeth and stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar armed drone. He turned on the airborne radio equipment as quickly as possible and called the Quzhou base tower: "Call the tower. Call the tower, Student No. 1 discovered the enemy situation."
He will never forget the experience of his first solo flight. He flew solo for the first time in his life. As a result, he was attacked by an armed drone and almost lost his life.
Good guy, I finally caught you again!
In a flash, Zhou Hai's mind was filled with unpleasant memories. He pulled the lever and stepped on the rudder, controlling the L-15C Falcon under him to change its course. The left and right wings cut through the dense space like sharp knives, flying straight ten kilometers away in the three o'clock direction. silver-white drone.
The first time he encountered an armed drone of the same type, he was piloting a No. 6 without any weapons.
Now, he flies an L-15C Falcon equipped with lethal weapons.
"What, enemy situation?!"
The Quzhou base tower controller, who was drinking coffee to refresh himself, almost didn't spit out his voice. He was a little bit incredulous. After being stunned for a while, he quickly came to his senses, his heart was serious, and his eyes were fixed on the data given on the console screen: "Student No. 1, please report immediately. Details of the enemy situation.”
Although he didn't know what the enemy situation was, the somewhat confused controller chose to believe Zhou Hai's judgment without hesitation.
With his eyes fixed on the target, Zhou Hai held the joystick. The falcon under him quickly approached the silver-white armed drone, and he was highly alert: "An unknown model of armed drone is flying at an ultra-low altitude close to the ground. Sweeping wings, using tail propeller propulsion method, suspected of detecting our country’s secrets, I am getting close to the target.”
He did not forget the first two words in the name of the armed drone - armed.
