With the support of the wind, the fire on the nose spread very quickly. After a while, Zhou Zhihan could feel his feet getting hot.
Now, the fire is burning in the belly of the aircraft along with the oil pipes in the fuselage. Fortunately, when the engine stops working, the gasoline in the fuel tank will automatically disconnect from the oil circuit. This design ensures that the fuel tank will not suddenly explode. The driver had no chance of escape.
But no one knows where the fire in the belly of the aircraft burned at this time. If it burned near the fuel tank and the temperature was too high, the fuel tank would still explode automatically.
The quality of aircraft during World War II was there.
Only now did Zhou Zhihan know that he was an experienced bird with little experience in flying, and he was simply a novice. If he had been replaced by those seasoned veterans, he would have landed with a parachute long ago. It will be delayed until now.
In this case, if it is an experienced flying veteran, when the nose of the plane starts to smoke, they will have already opened the cabin and prepared to parachute.
In the air, sometimes life and death only take a second.
It seems that mastering the aircraft driving skills is not enough. In the future, on the battlefield, if you want to survive in the air for a long time, you must have skills + experience + a little bit of luck.
It's not that you can't make an emergency landing in such a desolate place, but the fire has started and you can't make an emergency landing.
The plane caught fire at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and the pilot had no choice but to parachute.
In fact, after seeing 10 cases of successful landings of aircraft, people thought that forced landings were not too difficult.
That's because they didn't see the 200 unsuccessful attempts to land the plane.
People prefer to see successes and ignore failures intentionally or unintentionally.
Especially the military, they always publicize their successes and deliberately conceal their failures.
Zhou Zhihan decided to parachute now. He held on to the control stick with his right hand, opened the cabin latch with his left hand, and pushed the window top to the back. Suddenly, a strong burning smell hit his nostrils.
The fire under the wing is getting bigger and bigger, and the flames have spread to both sides of the fuselage and up to Han Han's waist. He can feel a scorching heat, surrounding him, if it weren't for the pressure suit and helmet protecting him. , it is estimated that it is impossible to skydive now.
This is why when an aircraft malfunctions in the air, the pilot has to decide within the first few seconds whether to parachute or make an emergency landing.
Often these few seconds determine a pilot's fate.
The cabin window opened, Zhou Zhihan released the joystick with both hands, removed the seat belt, and stood on the driver's seat.
The wings were not pulled by the control stick, and the nose of the aircraft slowly sank.
Zhou Zhihan glanced at the altimeter.
There are still 1230 meters above the ground.
This is a good time to skydive. If you are too close to the ground when parachuting, the shock wave emitted when the plane crashes may disrupt the shape of the parachute, and the pilot will hit the ground like a cannonball, smashing a hole in the ground. Big hole.
Just when Zhou Zhihan was about to squat with his legs and jump up, he suddenly saw an American Stars and Stripes flying on a building on the ground a thousand meters away. He seemed to vaguely hear the sound of the end of get out of class bell.
Then, from the buildings on the ground, many dwarfs shorter than the dwarfs ran out.
"grass!"
Zhou Zhihan's heart tightened and he cursed involuntarily. The bloody plots that usually appear in bloody movies and TV series would not appear in front of me.
In the huge building complex, many dwarfs ran out of the house. The stars and stripes flying above the building complex were so conspicuous in the sunlight.
Zhou Zhihan's heart trembled, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Mad! Damn it!"
There was indeed a school in front of it, and that was where the plane crashed.
Many children saw the fireball falling from the air. They were full of curiosity and looked up. They seemed to be shouting happily, calling their classmates who had not come out of the classroom to come out and have a look. A big fireball appeared in the sky.
Zhou Zhihan's heart instantly fell into the ice cellar and he was covered in sweat.
He didn't have much time to think.
The plane is still 1,150 meters above the ground.
When the plane crashed to the ground, the fuel tank would definitely explode and burst into flames instantly. The force of the plane's fall and the explosion of the fuel tank together would be enough to level the school.
Just a second later, Zhou Zhihan spread his legs and jumped back into the cockpit. He hugged the joystick with both hands, straightened his legs, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and desperately pulled the joystick upward.
too heavy.
The plane was falling faster and faster, and the control column weighed ten thousand kilograms.
At this moment, Zhou Zhihan understood deeply why one of the most basic requirements for an air force pilot is to have a strong body. Fighters during World War II did not have boosters. Every time the aircraft quickly lifted, the pilot needed to use all his strength. Full strength.
"stand up!"
Use all your strength.
Zhou Zhihan could feel that his heartbeat was almost still. He held in his breath so much that veins on his head popped out, and he used all his strength.
"Get up...ah..."
He could feel that the veins on his forehead were about to burst at any time. When the plane fell rapidly, there was a huge weight loss ratio. His bones had to bear three times more weight than usual.
When the aircraft dives, the pilot is subject to the pressure of gravity and the seat. Under the squeeze of these two forces, the pilot has to bear three times the weight of his body and also has to pull the control stick desperately.
Therefore, when choosing a pilot, those who have had wounds on their heads are not allowed to fly.
Because when the fighter plane dives, the pilot's own weight loss is too great and the pressure is too great. The blood is squeezed downwards, and the healed wound on the head may burst again. If so, the plasma will pour from the wound like a flood, and the wound will continue to be damaged. The tear becomes larger.
Zhou Zhihan could feel that his eyes were swollen from the impact of blood pressure.
"stand up!"
He tried his best to pull up the wings and gradually raised the nose of the plane, but the plane that lost power still fell forward with an unstoppable force.
With the power of the wind and gasoline, the fire on the nose of the plane grew bigger and bigger, and there was a crackling sound. This was the sound made by the metal parts of the plane's nose being burned and deformed by the fire.
Both sides of the fuselage were made of treated tough wood. Judging from the intensity of the fire, the fire had already burned the lower wing of the aircraft. If the place where the wire rope was connected was burned, the wing would be completely out of control and it would have to fall headlong.
There was not much he could do now, so Zhou Zhihan could only hold on to the control stick, lightly step on the right rudder intermittently, and let the plane pounce towards the right side of the school.
1060 meters.
As the wing angle rises, the nose of the plane is slightly raised again, and the nose of the plane is pointed directly to the outside of the school, which prevents the plane from crashing directly into the school.
Zhou Zhihan could see that the school on the ground was densely packed with children. They were attracted by the sudden fireball in the air. They had no idea that the god of death was thousands of meters above them, ready to pounce down at any time and razing them and the school to the ground. Flat ground.
Zhou Zhihan took control of the plane, gasping for air and looking forward, looking for a parachute point.
"grass……"
Zhou Zhihan exploded in despair. Less than five hundred meters away from the outside of the school, there was the endless rolling mountains that could be seen from south to north.
If he parachuted now, the nose of the plane would sink immediately and plunge directly into the center of the school.
If he continued to hold the nose of the plane and avoid the school, he might not be able to fly over the mountain range and be smashed into pieces. He could not visually tell how high the mountain range was diagonally in front of him.
He couldn't tell whether the plane could cross the endless mountains after avoiding the school.
Although the mountains nearby were not high, he was not sure.
There was no time left for him to make a careful visual judgment.
After he avoided school, he didn't have time to skydive again.
Two seconds to choose.
Close the cabin and isolate most of the smoke. Otherwise, even with the protection of a flight helmet, the smoke can kill him.
He could only risk his own life.
If he skydives now, the plane will inevitably crash on campus. His whole life will be spent in deep self-blame. He will become a useless person and live in self-blame every day.
This is not the life he wants.
Even if you die, you must die well, and you cannot live in a world of self-blame.
He was responsible for his plane, and he had to fly it to avoid the school.
Take a gamble.
Put your life on the line.
The nose of the plane was surrounded by fire. Fueled by oil and wind, the fire spread too fast. In just a few dozen seconds, it had burned through both sides of the fuselage and exceeded his head. If the nose of the plane hadn't fallen, the flames would have burned He was blown to the back by the wind, and even though he was wearing a pressure-resistant suit, he was burned by the fire.
The temperature in the cabin was at least 80 degrees, and he could feel the control column like a hot iron rod.
He could see several teachers on the ground running in panic on the campus, shouting at the children to hide quickly, but he didn't know where to take the children to hide.
"Whoops~"
The plane passed over the school. Zhou Zhihan had no time to open the cabin and parachute. He could only pull the nose of the plane upward with all his strength.
The endless mountains were like a ferocious monster, lying in front of Zhou Zhihan's eyes.
850 meters.
"rise!"
Blood flowed from Zhou Zhihan's nostrils. He secretly said that he was lucky. The weightlessness made the blood flow out of his nostrils instead of flowing to his eyes and brain.
The nose of the plane was pulled up slightly again and passed through the treetops on the mountaintop, making crackling and crashing sounds, which shook Zhou Zhihan violently in the cabin.
"call!"
"Crack!"
"Creak, creak, creak..."
The Tachikawa Ki-95c trainer aircraft was like a firebird, flying across the top of the mountain, its wings were broken, and it fell diagonally towards the ground.
Zhou Zhihan made a light move in his hand, and the joystick lost its strength. He quickly opened the cabin, stood on the seat, jumped up with all his strength, and said to his watch, "Open the parachute."
"call!"
The sound of an umbrella being opened came to my ears, my body froze, and I stayed in mid-air. The plane was like a ball of fire, hitting the ground diagonally in front of me.
After a few seconds,
"boom!"
The plane exploded.
A huge fireball rushed into the air, and Zhou Zhihan could feel the powerful shock wave stirring up his parachute from a distance, causing it to float backwards.
"Hmm~"
Damn it, hang it on the tree.
"Ding dong! The host saved a school and all the children. This system makes an exception and unlocks the intermediate maneuvering skills of fighter jets for the host. It also unlocks the Type 95 carrier-based aircraft and the P26 toy gun for the host. There are more rewards waiting for the host to claim. "
