In front of Zhou Zhihan, two more hangars appeared and slowly opened. When two training aircraft appeared, the hangars disappeared out of thin air.
It is still the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft and the Stearman PT-17 bi-wing trainer aircraft.
Or these two trainer aircraft?
Zhou Zhihan said cautiously: "I want to test-fly the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft today, is that okay? Otherwise, the P26 toy gun is also okay."
System: "The host's requirements are a bit high. Although you are eager to understand the performance of the Type 96, it is also to let the country know itself and its enemies, but it is still too early at present, and your ability is not enough to fly a combat aircraft.
You need to be familiar with flying Tachikawa IK-95C and West Point Cadet before you can enter the next stage and fly a faster monoplane. "
Zhou Zhihan said very frankly: "After yesterday's practice, I feel that I have a deep understanding of the performance of the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft, and I should be able to enter the next stage of practice."
Indeed, after yesterday's practice, Zhou Zhihan felt that he had no problem controlling the 95c trainer aircraft.
This is like many car drivers who have just become proficient in driving straight lines and small curves. After a few independent driving operations and they feel good, they begin to feel confident in their driving skills.
"Indeed, the host performed well yesterday. He flew for 4 hours, which is equivalent to 200 hours of flying for others.
Moreover, compared to all other pilots, the host did not have a single second of moisture during the 200 hours of flight time.
Let me first talk about the training process of the host’s future main opponent, the Japanese pilots.
The preparatory course for Japanese air force cadets lasts for six months. During this period, there is ruthless physical training. The elimination rate is an astonishing 46%, the highest in the world.
After passing the physical training period, students enter primary flight training. The course lasts for four months and includes takeoff, landing and cruising. The cumulative flight time is only 100 hours, and there is an instructor to take the flight.
During this period, they also need to receive comprehensive brain-cleaning education, physical training, and willpower training.
After completing basic flight training, rookies must undergo six months of advanced training. Within these six months, they can only accumulate 100 flying hours, and they still need to have a flight instructor to fly.
After completing the advanced training flight course, the rookie pilots will be assigned to the front-line units where they serve, where they will complete the primary combat training of flying alone. At this time, their training courses will be more complicated, including land singles. The amount of soldier survival training is extremely large.
The training period for these rookie pilots in the front-line troops is at least half a year, and within this six months, they can only fly in actual combat for 100 hours at most, and some fly less than 100 hours.
Because there are too many pilots who need to practice on the aircraft, the number of instructors and the number of trainer aircraft are there. Another bigger reason is that the consumption of aerospace fuel is staggering, and it is impossible for a rookie pilot to be as good as the host. In this way, as soon as I get on the plane, I practice for three or four hours until all the bones in my body fall apart and my legs become weak.
It took Japanese pilots at least two years from entering the preparatory course to taking off into the air for combat, and they accumulated no more than 500 hours of flying. During this period, they had to undergo a lot of arduous training that was different from ordinary people. "
Zhou Zhihan smiled and said: "Yes, Japanese pilots can only fly less than 400 hours in two years. The number of flights I flew in one day yesterday was almost half of their total flying time. Isn't this enough to enter the next chapter?" It’s the first stage!”
System: "The host is right! Therefore, the average lifespan of Japanese pilots in the early days of the war was only half a year. After the Pearl Harbor incident, the average lifespan of Japanese pilots was only four months. By the end of the war, Japan's so-called ace There is not even one pilot left in a hundred.
The host may not know yet, but in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the average flight time of Chinese pilots did not exceed 100 hours, and their average life span during the war was at most three months. In the middle of the war, when there was a serious shortage of pilots, some pilots only practiced for more than ten hours before flying fighter planes into the sky and never returned.
Host, even if you are allowed to fly for four thousand hours, there is a high chance that your survival time in the war will not exceed four years. "
This reversal is too great.
Zhou Zhihan suddenly felt that it was a bit hot today and his back was sweating.
“After talking about Japanese pilots, let’s talk about the pilot training time in the United States.
The standard course for training a pilot in the United States Air Force is a 150-hour introductory training course, which takes seven months to accumulate. I won’t tell you the intensity of some of the physical training, but the host also knows it. "
Zhou Zhihan "..."
“Then, the students spent four months flying a total of no less than 170 hours of basic training courses on the Stearman PT-17 bi-wing trainer aircraft.
Next, the rookies have to practice flying on PT-13 or PT-17 for no less than 150 hours, which requires three months of accumulation. During this period, the students face endless physical training every day. and endless theoretical knowledge learning.
After passing this level, they can test fly monoplanes, PT-19, PT-23, PT-26. It is not until the end of this stage, and after long-term basic training, that they can start to contact the P26 and practice rolls and tails in the air. Spin flying skills.
If the techniques of climbing, level flight, and diving are not proficient enough, students will rashly practice various maneuvers and rolls, climb at large and small angles, low-altitude sneak attack flights, or escape from traps set by the opponent during a dive attack and perform tail spin escape maneuvers. When this happens, it may cause an accident involving aircraft damage and fatalities.
And if a pilot cannot skillfully perform the above various maneuvers, what is the difference between it and the Japanese kamikaze in the later period.
Even though American pilots had the highest amount of training and flying hours in the world, by the end of the war, the average life span of their pilots was only seven months.
There is also a cruel reality, that is, during the early and middle periods of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese fighter jets were 10 times that of China. Such a disparity in strength led to the complete annihilation of the Chinese Air Force.
The host's ambition is to become the king of air combat, which requires the host to have a solid foundation even though he is extremely talented, so that he can be fearless in the face of all enemy aircraft in future air battles and become the ace among aces.
Of course, only when the host's ability reaches a certain level will he be able to fly a certain type of fighter jet at will.
Another thing that the host must always understand is that you alone cannot change the direction of the entire World War II war. What you can do is when the anti-Japanese people are disappointed and desperate, and when the sky is full of Japanese military planes clamoring for the annihilation of the Chinese Air Force. At the right time, you appeared over the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War like an invincible king, attacking the enemy's arrogance and bringing encouragement and hope to the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War. "
Zhou Zhihan stopped talking and walked directly towards the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft.
Just as he closed the cockpit and tightened the latch, light rain suddenly started falling from the sky, and in an instant, the ground became slippery.
"In the future, the host must gradually practice taking off and landing in light rain, moderate rain, and heavy rain, practice taking off and landing in crosswinds, practice taking off and landing in thunder and lightning, practice taking off and landing in wind and rain, only by doing what the enemy cannot , the host can become the well-deserved king of the air!"
Turn on the ignition
Turn on the cockpit power switch
Turn on the fuel supply switch
Press the engine start button
"boom!"
The familiar Shimahisa 38 air-cooled engine erupted with a manic sound, causing the entire fuselage to tremble.
After more than ten seconds, the trembling of the fuselage gradually disappeared.
It is a habit to look at the rearview mirror located at the top of the cabin.
The left hand pushes the throttle valve at the speed of an ant's stroll, and the right hand releases the aircraft brake trigger.
Zhou Zhihan did this series of movements smoothly and neatly.
The body slides forward,
The roar of the engine gets louder
Oil pressure gauge normal
The oil temperature gauge gradually rises, which is normal
Radiator thermometer starts working
The plane slides forward quickly
Increased water mist on front windshield
When you open the front windshield ice cock valve, the engine's heater is like the 70-degree hot wind in the desert, instantly blowing away the small water droplets attached to the front windshield.
The throttle valve is pushed forward,
Speed 20 kilometers,
The throttle valve continues to push forward,
Lubricating oil dilution is normal,
The carburetor pushrod is normal,
The brake pressure gauge is released normally.
The supercharger adjustment knob is normal.
The engine speed is normal,
The throttle valve is accelerated and pushed forward,
Speed 40,
Turn on the green light,
The nose of the aircraft is raised upward,
Speed 43,
Pull the steering column back. The horizontal wings of the fighter plane were tilted up at an angle of 35 degrees. The plane's wings cut through the curtain of light rain and drew two lines of white mist.
The nose of the aircraft is raised,
Pull the lever again,
The movements are done in one go.
The horizontal wings of the 95c are upturned, and the nose is at an elevation angle of 45 degrees.
"call out!"
The Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft is like a big bird, piercing the vast rain curtain and flying into the sky at an elevation angle of 45 degrees.
Zhou Zhihan was relaxed and focused, and he pushed the throttle forward without hesitation.
Pull the lever again,
The Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft climbs at 55 degrees.
"Boom boom boom..."
high:
1200 meters,
1400 meters,
1600 meters,
1700 meters,
2100 meters.
According to the instructions in the flight operation manual, Zhou Zhihan pushed the throttle valve in his left hand to five-sixths, pulled back the joystick in his right hand greatly, raised the nose of the aircraft suddenly, and attacked at a high angle of elevation.
Push the left-hand throttle all the way.
The right hand joystick is steady and motionless.
The engine roared loudly, and the nose of the plane tilted to 180 degrees.
Just when Zhou Zhihan felt his whole back pressed against the driver's seat, he pressed the joystick right to the low position and stayed there.
Put your right foot on the rudder,
The plane was in inverted flight, half-rolling to the right, hitting the rain in the air and spinning out half a puff of mist, which was quite spectacular.
Release the stick at the moment when the best recovery position of the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer appears.
hold still,
Pull the throttle back to cruising speed,
The machine body changed into a somersault maneuver,
The power is smooth, the fuselage is stable, and the aircraft cruises and flies levelly.
Although the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer's somersault maneuver is limited by the power of the aircraft, the speed is not very fast, and it lacks a little explosive power, the entire maneuver process is done in one go, as smoothly as flowing water.
He performed several somersault maneuvers in the air, practiced several dives and pull-ups, and 20 minutes later, Zhou Zhihan landed the Tachikawa IK-95C trainer aircraft steadily.
Five minutes later, Zhou Zhihan sat in the West Point cadet's cockpit.
Close the cockpit latch,
Turn on the ignition...
