The three of them got out of the queue, climbed the escalator, and boarded the plane.
The other six people were waiting quietly, looking at the three flight simulators and the big screen with curious eyes.
"Prepare for the first simulation." Zhou Hai then gestured to Chengdu engineers.
Chengfei engineers wearing work clothes nodded in understanding, tapped the console keyboard with both hands skillfully, and pressed three orange buttons to start the flight simulator's predetermined program and enter the simulation state.
"drop!"
The next second, with a slight prompt sound, the large screens in front of the three flight simulators were activated and lit up with dazzling light. The Chinese and English bilingual character prompts "Developed and produced by AVIC Group" were displayed in the middle, and then entered the blue sky. Highly realistic ultra-clear images of white clouds and airport runways.
As the latest developed fighter flight simulator, its graphics are extremely high-definition, and it uses a simulated weather system internally with perfect details to maximize the simulation effect, thereby enhancing the effect of flight simulation.
Only by being as realistic as possible, or even as close to reality, can we accumulate valuable experience and avoid mistakes after putting it on the actual machine.
Of course, if virtual reality technology, which is one level ahead of the entire era, can be applied, it will have a great impact on the training of fighter pilots.
Nowadays, no matter how advanced the flight simulator is, it can only play an initial role in exploration and cannot truly replace the actual aircraft.
"The operation of the fly-by-wire control system is not very difficult. The flight envelope of Qingjiao and Jade Bird is wide, the degree of freedom is great, and it is very flexible."
Zhou Hai's face was calm, his eyes were calm, and his eyes were fixed on the large high-definition analog screen. He said to the other six people and informed them of the essentials they need to master: "The rest of the people can sit down, watch carefully, accumulate experience, be good at summarizing mistakes, and try not to Making the second mistake in the same place.”
All things and content described are obtained with permission and will not violate confidentiality regulations.
Otherwise, Zhou Hai would not have said even one more word.
The fly-by-wire control system, which seems to be mainstream but is actually one generation behind the development level of aviation, is still a cutting-edge technology that is out of reach for the Argentine Air Force.
In the entire Air Force, not a single fighter pilot had ever been exposed to fly-by-wire control.
The A-4AR 'Fighting Skyhawk', which was severely aged and had to be retired three years ago, uses an extremely backward mechanical operating system. It requires a lot of effort to operate the aircraft body in order to pull the joystick. As for the technology of keeping your hands off the stick, etc. , not at all.
Inside the No. 1 Qingjiao cockpit.
"God, this cockpit is so advanced."
Major Santo is sitting in a fully simulated cockpit that looks narrow but is actually comfortable. He is wearing the matching third-generation bee-eye head sight and his eyes are like torches. He is observing the layout and structure of the internal cockpit. He looks like Grandma Liu. It is like a grand view garden, and my heart is full of shock and surprise.
Directly in front are two left and right LCD multi-function displays, the top of the avionics is an airborne diffraction head-up display, and a brand-new metal joystick. The cockpit layout and structure are simple, and reveal an atmosphere of advanced and high-tech elements.
advanced!
Sitting in the Qingjiao simulated cockpit, Major Santo had to exclaim in admiration, it was so advanced.
One cockpit condenses all kinds of cutting-edge technologies. It does not have the complicated and complicated instrument cockpit of traditional fighter aircraft. It is simple and practical, and its advanced level is simply beyond imagination!
At this moment, not only Santo was like this, but Guluoji and Sarlan, who were sitting in the cockpits of the No. 2 Blue Dragon and No. 3 Blue Bird modules, also had the same expression.
"I don't know when our country will be able to produce such an advanced simulator. It costs 25 million US dollars per unit. Although it is advanced, it is too expensive." After being shocked, Santo suddenly remembered something, his eyes showed complex colors, thinking of the whole The country's aviation industry is so weak that it can't even manufacture jet combat, and I can't help but feel a pang in my heart.
If you want to develop a genuine third-generation semi-fighter flight simulator, it will also test the strength of the country's aviation industry and electronics industry. It requires a complete and mature industrial system as support.
Without these, how can we talk about research and development?
The fighter jet simulator that impressed me has a unit price of up to 25 million US dollars!
If the domestic aviation industry could speak out a little bit, this money might not be wasted and could be saved.
It is a pity that the entire aviation industry is so weak that it no longer has the ability to develop jet fighters and can only use the old and backward Pukara attack aircraft.
No matter how much Pukala improves, it still has propellers, poor bomb load and comprehensive combat capability. It takes about ten minutes to climb to 10,000 meters. Compared with the level of development of the world's mainstream fighters, it lags behind by a full seventy or eighty years.
"No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, start the simulation." At this moment, before Santo and the others could continue thinking, Zhou Hai's calm prompt came in.
After receiving the instruction, the three of them were stunned, and followed the well-remembered fighter startup operating procedures, turning on the main power supply and avionics system, then turning on the fuel supply switch, and pressing the engine start button.
The whole process was standard and steady, and the three of them would never allow themselves to make any mistakes.
"Buzz!" The roar of the S-10A'Taihang' turbofan engine then spread to everyone's ears and enveloped their hearts.
sound!
A sound that makes people excited and fascinated!
This is the roar of a high-thrust turbofan engine, and this sound has never appeared in the Argentine Air Force sequence, even once.
On the ground, Zhou Hai nodded without saying a word, his expression unchanged, his eyes carefully observing the three people in the simulated cockpit.
The entire operation steps and detailed images have been recorded by six cameras and loaded into the database of the simulation system.
The six Alfang pilots who were waiting quietly stared at the big screen, holding their breath, tense and afraid to speak.
The entire flight simulation room was silent.
"We must succeed, brothers."
Rosal pursed her lips and prayed silently in her heart.
Today's competition is temporary. He will never hate others because of some minor conflicts, because everyone has the same identity and mission.
Wearing the advanced bee-eye sight, Santo took a deep breath to calm down his inner thoughts and emotions. He gently held the cold metal joystick with his right hand, and the unfamiliar throttle valve with his left hand. He stared ahead and began to operate.
Push the throttle up and accelerate forward!
The speed was getting faster and faster, and it was about to reach the critical speed for takeoff. However, Santo was very uncomfortable with the rapidly changing flight parameters.
Not used to it!
Very unaccustomed!
However, this was not the most fatal thing. After the takeoff was delayed for one second, Santo's years of experience in flying the Combat Skyhawk and Pukara attack aircraft made him instinctively exert force on his right hand and pull the stick back significantly.
