Once the landing fails, you must immediately accelerate your escape and make a go-around after touching the ship to avoid causing a flight accident.
The Fresnel optical landing assist system, based on the Fresnel lens principle, can focus light into a directional beam, and optically guide the carrier-based aircraft to assist in landing through a light group arrangement similar to a cross structure.
The entire system consists of a row of four sets of horizontal axis lights and a set of vertical axis Fresnel lens lights in the center. There are green horizontal reference lights on both sides of the light box.
The colors of the vertical axis Fresnel lens light box are red, orange, and yellow, with a total of five groups of lights.
A group of red indicates that the flight altitude is slightly low and needs to be raised.
The second set of red indicates that the flight altitude is too low and a go-around is required.
A group of yellow indicates that the flight altitude is slightly higher and the altitude needs to be lowered.
The second set of yellow lights indicates that the flight altitude is too high and a go-around is required.
Only orange light indicates that the flight altitude and approach and landing angle are appropriate.
As a carrier-based aircraft pilot, you must see the permission given by the landing commander to descend the light group before you can press the stick to slide down and approach the ship.
The light group that allows the slide command is composed of four sets of horizontal-axis white lights, two green reference light fixed lights, and an orange Fresnel lens directional beam.
"boom!"
The roar of the two WS-10C 'Taihang' vector turbofan engines is endless, echoing in the No. 1 flight simulator.
Under the attention of Dai Minmeng and a group of participating pilots, Zhou Hai drove the J-15C to the landing runway area of the aircraft carrier deck and aimed at the third blocking cable across the surface of the deck runway.
The approach and landing angle is 12 degrees, the altitude is 50 meters, and the speed is 300 kilometers per hour.
The relative distance between the two is 200 meters.
A second later, as the landing strip on the deck displayed on the screen in front of him grew larger and larger, Zhou Hai's eyes narrowed, and he locked on the third blocking rope like a hunter, and suddenly pressed the joystick forward to control the J-15C under him. Falling towards the deck runway.
Rather than dropping it, it's better to smash it.
In the aviation field, when a carrier-based aircraft blocks the landing of a ship, it is called a controlled crash!
Every landing is a controlled crash!
The J-15C, which weighed nearly 20 tons and still had three tons of fuel left, slammed into the deck runway. The specially strengthened main and auxiliary landing gears came into contact with the surface of the metal deck runway and withstood extremely high instantaneous impact force. A wave of The huge counter-impact force acts on the body at the same time and is fed back to the six-degree-of-freedom simulator platform.
The simulator suddenly experienced violent jolts. Zhou Hai and Dai Minmeng, who were sitting in the cockpit, successively received vertical forces transmitted from the simulator to the spine and trunk.
This force originates from the repulsive force when landing on the ship, and acts directly on the spine from bottom to top.
If it is a land-based fighter pilot or an ordinary person who has not undergone intensive training, it is likely to directly cause spinal damage.
At the same time, the J-15C that hit the runway surface slid forward at high speed without slowing down. Zhou Hai looked calm and easily resisted the force received when landing. He held the throttle valve with his left hand and exerted slight force, preparing to push forward.
"Squeak!" At this time, just when Zhou Hai thought he was about to touch the ship and go around, the metal tail hook at the end of the aircraft body accurately hooked the third J-15C after the No. 001 J-15C taxied five or six meters at high speed on the runway surface. A blocking rope.
In an instant, a harsh sound of metal stretching was heard. The third high-performance arresting cable was stretched to its maximum state, able to withstand the energy contained in the J-15C and transfer the energy to the damper equipment, thereby significantly consuming the fighter. Internal kinetic energy, reducing speed.
One second later, the No. 001 J-15C, which carried out a controlled crash and maintained a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, finally stopped its progress and momentum under the action of the blocking cable.
"Buzz!" Zhou Hai breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly pulled down the throttle valve with his left hand to reduce the fuel supply and engine output.
The two vector turbofan engines that roared loudly quickly attenuated and became low and gentle, no longer outputting high thrust.
"drop!"
The next second, on the screen of Flight Simulator No. 1, the simulated flight screen paused, and a green prompt box appeared.
[Successful landing]——A white prompt appears, located in the center of the prompt box
success!
As this reminder appeared, both Dai Minmeng who was sitting in the back seat and the training team who had been waiting outside the cabin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Reporting to the commander, the landing on the ship has been completed successfully. Please give instructions." Looking at the prompts displayed on the screen, Zhou Hai had a smile on his face, feeling happy and comfortable in his heart. He let out a breath of turbid air and reported to Dai Minmeng. .
"The whole process was perfect. I didn't need any instructions." Dai Demeng smiled and couldn't help but joked: "How did you feel after the flight? Zero."
"Chief of the report, it's very good. The J-15C flight experience is great. The omnidirectional axially symmetrical vector engine, canards and central lifting body aerodynamic layout further increase the J-15C's flight performance, which is at least 10% better than I imagined. , Of course, it is only for simulated flight, and the actual aircraft is not known yet." Zhou Hai was a little embarrassed, and then he bluntly gave his true evaluation without any concealment.
great.
This is Zhou Hai's intuitive feeling.
Other Su-27 evolved and improved fighters have not flown over Zhou Hai, so I will not comment.
Speaking of the J-15C alone, two WS-10C 'Taihang' vector turbofan engines, coupled with the aerodynamic layout of canards and central lifting bodies, have greatly improved the overall flight performance of the entire fighter jet, and its instantaneous and stable performance are almost the same. No less than the FC-20X 'Qingjiao' export fighter based on the J-10C.
Qingjiao's comprehensive flight performance and aerodynamic layout are completely consistent with the J-10C.
The instant performance is compared with the J-10C, which is enough to reveal the excellent performance of the J-15C 'Tiger Shark' from the side.
It is indeed known as the second carrier-based aircraft in the world!
After flying this simulated flight, I have to say that Zhou Hai fell in love with Shen Hoy's latest masterpiece.
Suit your own taste.
"You can call me instructor, or Dai Minmeng. You don't have to call me chief all the time."
Hearing Zhou Hai's evaluation without any subjective emotions, Dai Minmeng nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "I believe that the actual opportunity will satisfy you and everyone else. You can go down and rest first and let the Falcon come up."
Simulated flight is always a simulation, and it can never truly simulate all aspects and feelings.
Dai Minmeng, who has flown the J-15C Tiger Shark, has a deep understanding of how excellent the comprehensive flight performance of this new carrier-based aircraft is.
"Reporting to the instructor, I am in very good condition. Can I simulate flying alone?" Zhou Hai pondered after hearing this and expressed his inner thoughts.
Just flying one round is not enough. Zhou Hai knew that he still had many shortcomings in the process of flying a carrier-based aircraft. These areas needed to be tempered through high-intensity training again and again, so that he could become more proficient in operation until he reached the passing standard.
