Zhou Hai nodded in understanding, raised his left hand, gave a thumbs up, and stared ahead with eyes as deep as the starry sky. With his right hand wearing a fluorescent-marked glove, he grasped the smooth and dexterous metal joystick on the right side of the cockpit, and felt an electric shock. The real touch bursts out and is transmitted to the mind through the body's nervous system.
Electric shock.
Just like touching a girl's body for the first time, an electric current was born from the fingertips and spread throughout the body, causing a tremor reaction in the body and making the mind crave this feeling even more, hoping for more.
After a month, there was nothing unfamiliar. A gentle and familiar feeling came from the palm of his hand and flowed into his heart. Zhou Hai felt a sense of intimacy with the war eagle beneath him who had been waiting for a long time, filling his mind.
close!
Between Zhou Hai and No. 101 J-15C, it was as if there was me in you and you in me, blending together like an inseparable couple.
"Let's fly together." Feeling this strange feeling, Zhou Hai savored it carefully, exhaled gently, opened his mouth slightly, and whispered to himself.
He holds the dexterous metal joystick in his right hand and pushes up the throttle valve with his left hand, skillfully controlling the No. 101 J-15C under him.
fly!
Let’s take off from the 14° upturned ski jump deck and soar to the top of the sky!
"Buzz!" The low and loud engine roar was a little sharper, and the two WS-10C omnidirectional vector engines burst out a slight thrust, acting on the body. The entire No. 101 J-15C seemed to understand Zhou Hai's words, and slowly Slide forward smoothly.
In the safe area in the distance, Dai Minmeng, all trainee pilots, Academician Ma Weimin's team and the ground crew all raised their right hands and saluted the J-15C and Zhou Hai who were sliding out.
Zhou Hai nodded and gave a thumbs up with his left hand in return.
Say goodbye and press the lever forward.
The smooth and exquisite specially processed serrated tail nozzle is in an expanded state, ejecting two annular high-temperature air columns with a temperature of several hundred degrees Celsius. The internal combustion flame of the engine is blue.
With everyone watching, the No. 101 J-15C slid out of the hangar and drove into the access road. After driving smoothly for more than 100 meters, it entered the taxiway of the base and faced the land simulation platform 500 meters away.
Different from the take-off process required by flight simulation training, land simulation training requires a land-based fighter startup method. First start the engine from the hangar, and then go to the land simulation platform for the carrier-based aircraft to take off.
The land simulation platform is the core facility of Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base. The official scientific name is the aircraft carrier-based aircraft land comprehensive flight training platform. It consists of a metal runway about 300 meters long across the main runway of the base. It has a completely realistic metal aircraft carrier. The flight deck and aircraft carrier island, the bow of the ship is the ski jump take-off deck, and the arresting system, Fresnel lens optical landing assist system and radar landing guidance system are arranged in the stern area.
The entire land simulation platform adopts an all-metal structure. The flight deck is flush with the ground and operates independently. There is a three-layer space structure underground, as well as deck main hangar, elevators, ammunition depot and other structures.
A large independent hydraulic device is installed below the flight deck to simulate the lateral movement and shaking of the aircraft carrier when it sails at sea.
In addition, the steam catapult that was once installed will be removed and the newly developed high-performance second-generation Taishan electromagnetic catapult will be installed.
This is the core facility of Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base and a special equipment for training carrier-based aircraft pilots.
In a sense, the so-called 'land simulation platform' is actually a land aircraft carrier without a power system. When it enters an emergency state, it can serve as a combat mission for some categories of aircraft carriers.
After all, all the equipment used in this land simulation platform is in service, including the air detection radar, which is absolutely real.
The cost is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Zhou Hai, who is a new carrier-based aircraft pilot, will make his first flight here. He will perform the first real ski jump takeoff and electromagnetic ejection in his life, and then gradually learn how to become a 'dagger' who meets the standards for aircraft carrier flight qualification certification. Dancer'.
Not all carrier-based aircraft pilots can be called knife-tip dancers.
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by the endless roar, the much-anticipated No. 101 J-15C Tiger Shark passed through the long and straight taxiway and came to the entrance of the land simulation platform area that intersected the center of the base's main runway and stopped steadily. Down.
"Call the ship island, this is No. 101, preparing for the first land simulated ski jump takeoff, please come in!" Zhou Hai raised his legs, released the rudder, canceled the brakes, and stared at the jet black metal flight deck area through the glass cockpit. Immediately, an admission request was sent to the platform island on the right through the onboard encrypted communication channel.
The surface of the metal flight deck is coated with a layer of special non-slip and friction-resistant material. It is ink black and does not reflect light. If you look carefully, the surface is very rough and has pits, like a face full of acne marks. The 1 meter × 1 meter interval system Leave holes all over the deck for performance.
The entrance to the taxiway where Zhou Hai is located is directly opposite the aircraft carrier's stern landing area.
There is no one in the landing area. In the safe area on the right side towards the ship island, an aviation system commander with a yellow uniform with [Aviation Commander] printed on the back stands at the front. Behind him are eight ground crew members wearing green uniforms who are on standby. .
Not far away, near the ship island, there was a boxy special tractor parked, with a ground crew member wearing a blue uniform sitting in the driver's seat.
Yellow for aviation, green for blocking, and blue for lift.
At this moment, the entire land simulation platform has been activated and entered normal operation, just waiting for Zhou Hai's arrival.
"The ship island has received it. The current simulated aircraft carrier speed is 30 knots and the horizontal shaking amplitude is 0°. Admission is allowed." In the airborne encrypted communication channel, the rich voice of the ship island duty control officer came out. His accent was biased towards the northern mountainous provinces. He quickly gave Check the current simulation platform situation and pass Zhou Hai’s admission application.
"Received No. 101, entering." Zhou Hai replied according to the standard procedure. After receiving approval, he pushed the stick lightly and steered the steel war eagle under him forward to leave the high-strength cement taxiway.
The aviation tires of the main and auxiliary landing gear ran over the gap between the taxiway and the metal flight deck. The fuselage was smooth and smooth without any bumps.
The entire fighter jet slid into the land simulation platform and drove on the flight deck with high friction resistance. The aviation commander in yellow uniform immediately used special sign language to command Zhou Hai and signal forward.
Zhou Hai nodded in understanding, sailed forward, left the landing area at the stern of the ship, stopped steadily in the area in front of the fourth blocking cable device, pulled down the throttle, adjusted the two WS-10C turbofan engines to the idle state, and completely released Apply the brakes.
The sound of the engine quickly weakened, the serrated tail nozzle shrank upward, and the direction of the high-temperature gas injection changed accordingly.
"Buzz!"
As soon as No. 101 J-15C came to a stop, the special tractor that had been on standby made a low and high-pitched engine sound, sped towards the front of the aircraft, and quickly arrived at the front of the aircraft.
The driver in the blue vest adjusted his position, then controlled the tractor, stretched out a mechanical metal arm like an arm, and grabbed the main landing gear to attach it.
A few seconds later, the mechanical metal arm was hooked up, and the ground crew driver in blue uniform reversed the vehicle and began towing operations.
The low and compact tractor moved forward slowly, taking the No. 101 J-15C away from the inclined runway area where the electromagnetic catapult was installed. It drove steadily for more than 100 meters to the ski jump deck runway and arrived at the No. 1 takeoff point. .
There are a total of four takeoff points on the land simulation platform. Numbers 1 and 2 correspond to the ski jump deck, and numbers 3 and 4 correspond to the ejection deck.
Today's solo flight mission on board the aircraft will first take off from the ski jump deck, followed by the electric missile deck. The main goal is to improve the take-off technology from the ski jump deck.
Yes, it’s about improving pilots’ ski-jump takeoff skills, rather than specifically training on electric bombs.
There is no way. Although Zhou Hai's batch of trained ship pilots are the first batch to receive electric bomb training, the No. 003 aircraft carrier that can adopt the electric bomb system is still under construction and is being nurtured in the Jiangnan Shipyard. Currently, both of the navy's two active aircraft carriers are In order to slide across the deck, I can only endure it for the time being.
The carrier-based tractor parked at the No. 1 takeoff point and completed the towing operation. Under the command of two ground crew members wearing yellow uniforms with takeoff markings at the takeoff point, they quickly disconnected the hook, retracted the mechanical metal arm, and turned right to leave the takeoff area. Runway and retreat to a safe area.
Then several green ground crew members and red ground crew members with different responsibilities appeared to perform a series of complex and tedious related operations, such as confirming the take-off weight, adjusting the main landing gear arrester, checking whether the missile was mounted normally, etc.
Weapons and ammunition have been inspected, fuel has been filled, the turbofan engine is operating normally, and the arrester is set to 26 tons.
Three minutes later, all preparations for takeoff were completed.
Two yellow vest commanders standing ten meters away from the right side of the fuselage immediately issued a clearing signal. As all personnel quickly left the take-off area, the take-off point was cleared, and everything was ready to enter the final take-off state.
The two commanders in yellow vests gestured towards J-15C No. 101, signaling Zhou Hai to carry out the take-off procedures.
"Call the ship island. No. 101 has arrived at the scheduled take-off point. Ready and request take-off." Zhou Hai nodded, raised his right hand to answer, and called the platform ship island through the sharp eye sight with excellent sound insulation effect, and issued the take-off call. Apply.
At the other end, the duty control officer of the ship island received the request and immediately reported a series of meteorological data and related important data through the take-off application: "Received from the ship island, the current horizontal shaking amplitude is 0°, strong breeze from the southeast, wind speed 5.3 per second meters, wind force level 3, gust level 5, field pressure 1015, permission to take off."
"No. 101 received, ready to take off." Zhou Hai responded, and then made sign language to the two yellow vest commanders to indicate that he was ready to take off.
The two yellow vest commanders immediately made arrangements. While instructing Zhou Hai to conduct a final self-inspection, they also issued instructions to the takeoff ground crew in the green position.
The yellow command take-off means that the carrier-based aircraft is responsible for all arrangements for the take-off process, and the green ground crew take-off mark means ensuring that the main landing gear arrester operates normally during the carrier-based aircraft's ski-jump take-off.
Two takeoffs, different meanings.
The next second, a baffle about ten centimeters thick in the tail area slowly rose, maintaining an inclination angle of 75 degrees, changing the direction of high-temperature airflow injection from the two WS-10C turbofan engines.
Zhou Hai looked calm and calm. He checked carefully to confirm that everything was correct. Through the glass cockpit, he raised his right index and middle fingers towards the two take-off yellow vest ground crews and pointed at the ski jump deck, indicating that the inspection was completed and everything was normal.
The two takeoff yellow vests received the reply and jointly issued the order to adjust the engine to maximum power.
"boom!"
Zhou Hai nodded in understanding, pushed up the throttle valve with his left hand, output a high amount of fuel, and turned on the engine afterburner.
In an instant, a thunderous engine roar of 135 decibels resounded throughout the land simulation platform. The two WS-10C vector turbofan engines entered the afterburner state, bursting out with a total thrust of 28.56 tons.
The serrated tail nozzle kept shrinking, and the jet angle returned to the horizontal jet direction. Two azure blue annular high-temperature tail flames of more than a thousand degrees Celsius shot out, blowing and burning the high-temperature-resistant surface coating of the metal baffle.
The rough high-temperature-resistant surface coating turns red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some sparks even appear on the top.
This is the power of the flower of industry. This is the catharsis of WS-10C Taihang, making its voice heard to the whole world.
Move forward, great!
Forward, J-15C No. 101!
