Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

The boss in charge of the on-site command of the National Day military parade was very curious when he heard that this Cobra maneuver was not only of practical significance but also ornamental.

"Comrade Shengli, why is this Cobra maneuver so entertaining?"

Lin Shengli replied: "The so-called Cobra maneuver is when the pilot quickly pulls the stick back to raise the nose of the aircraft to between 110 and 120 degrees, forming a short-term level flight with the tail in front and the nose behind. state, then push the rod to press the machine head, and then return to the original horizontal state.”

"When the aircraft was maneuvering, the entering speed was about 425 km/h. The aircraft decelerated at a rate of more than 148 km/h, and then decelerated to 110 km/h. This action only caused the aircraft to withstand an overload of 3.5 to 4g. During the entire maneuver, During the process, there was almost no change in the flight altitude of the aircraft."

"Because during the maneuver, the rapidly jumping nose of the aircraft continued to rise and reached a high angle of attack of 120°. The raised nose of the aircraft looked like a cobra, so we named this maneuver the Cobra maneuver. ”

After listening to Lin Shengli's introduction, the military bosses present were very surprised.

Just listening to the introduction of this Cobra maneuver, I knew that it was a very difficult action. The boss in charge of the on-site command of the National Day military parade couldn't help but feel worried.

"Comrade Shengli, this Cobra maneuver sounds very difficult. Will there be any problems at the National Day military parade?"

Lin Shengli smiled and shook his head. He was still very confident about the Raptors.

After all, this Raptor fighter is the strength of hundreds of schools of thought, and it is equivalent to a third-generation fighter built with the endorsement of the system.

Although due to current technical limitations, avionics and weapon systems cannot be fully electronic and informatized in future generations, in this era, there is still no problem at all in defeating all known fighters.

After the subsequent technological development, the Raptor fighter jets equipped with new avionics and weapon systems will definitely be able to stabilize the performance of all three-generation aircraft in the future.

Moreover, to be on the safe side, Lin Shengli just asked three ace pilots headed by Captain Wang who could fly these two maneuvers 100% to fly these two maneuvers.

If this were not the case, in fact, all the ace pilots flying these 15 Raptor fighter jets could fly these two actions.

However, the success rate is not 100%.

Now, if the three ace pilots who have flown these two maneuvers at least dozens of times will perform the Cobra maneuver, there will definitely be no problem.

Lin Shengli also told the above situation to everyone present, and then said very seriously: "Don't worry, leader, I know the importance of this occasion, and I will not bring it up if I am not sure."

"I have full confidence in our Raptor fighter jets and our comrade pilots."

After listening to Lin Shengli's explanation and statement, the military boss said: "Okay, let's do this, Comrade Shengli. If possible, see if you can make arrangements as soon as possible so that our Raptor fighter jets can show off this Cobra." Maneuver.”

"If there are no problems, I will submit this plan quickly."

Lin Shengli didn't think there was any problem with this. After all, it was a mule or a horse. You had to pull it out and run around to find out.

No matter how extravagant it is, it is only expressed verbally.

Only by letting everyone see the Cobra maneuver with their own eyes can they know how shocking this scene is.

After the meeting here, Lin Shengli communicated with the ground staff and the three pilots who were about to perform the exclusive maneuvers, and then the Cobra maneuver time was set to 1 p.m. the next day.

Because of time constraints, although Lin Shengli had returned to Sijiu City, he did not go home at night, nor did he go to the small courtyard where the two girls lived. Instead, he found a dormitory in this air force base to rest.

Early the next morning, Lin Shengli arrived at the hangar early.

There was no way, although Lin Shengli also brought a lot of people from the Rongcheng base this time, compared with over there, the manpower was still a bit insufficient.

The Raptors were built by Lin Shengli, and no one knows the Raptors better than him.

Therefore, Lin Shengli also directed the ground crew early in the morning to inspect the fighter planes that were about to take off for the performance mission.

Soon, the time came to 1 p.m.

The on-site conductor of the National Day military parade, Mr. Zheng, came here with a large number of people.

Lin Shengli was very surprised when he saw so many people appearing all of a sudden.

"Leader Zheng, didn't you say let our Raptor fighter jets do a Cobra maneuver first to see if there are so many people?"

Boss Zheng said with some embarrassment: "Comrade Shengli, these are comrades from the aviation force of our Fourth-Nine City Military Region. They heard that our third-generation aircraft was going to fly a difficult maneuver today, and they were all very curious. I want to come over and have a look."

"Comrade Shengli, come and take a look. There should be no problem, right?"

Lin Shengli looked at the people in front of him and thought for a while.

The Raptors will be officially unveiled to the world in up to three or four days.

After the National Day Parade, in addition to the three initial prototypes, the remaining 12 Raptor fighter jets can be directly handed over to the troops for installation.

It is estimated that the first unit to be installed should be the aviation unit of the Forty-Nine City Military Region.

After all, this is an important force guarding the Forty-Nine City. Furthermore, when they first supported their ace pilot, it was Boss Zheng’s Fourth-Nine City Military Region who was the most active and supported the most personnel.

Therefore, it can be regarded as reciprocating the favor. When his superiors asked for his opinion, he also preferred to first equip the existing 12 Raptor fighter jets to the aviation force of Forty-Nine City. However, this is only one for the time being. The intention and the specific arrangements are still left to the superiors to decide.

Now, it’s okay for everyone to come and take a look in advance.

Anyone who can come here must have no problem with their identity and background, and there is no need to worry about leaks or anything like that.

But if there was any, Lin Shengli still had to warn him in advance.

"You can check it out, but after you go back, don't try to use the existing fighter planes to do this action. Otherwise, the people and the plane will definitely be in danger and fall."

"Leader Zheng, you have to make your comrades promise not to learn this thing. If you can do it, everyone can stay and watch."

Seeing that Lin Shengli agreed to these people's visit, Mr. Zheng was relieved.

Then he hurriedly agreed to Lin Shengli's request, and asked these people to make a guarantee on the spot.

He actually had some selfish motives for bringing so many people here today, but this selfish motive was for their Fourth Nine City Military Region.

At present, in the Air Force, everyone basically knows that we have an aviation research institution that is developing an advanced third-generation aircraft.

The higher-ups are okay and can roughly understand some of the details of the plan, but the people below don't. Especially when I heard that the combat method of third-generation aircraft mainly uses missiles as weapon systems, it is still a bit difficult for most people to accept.

After all, everyone is used to using aircraft cannons, but they still don't really trust missiles.

Now, we just take this opportunity to let them come and take a look at the third-generation aircraft. Although the current Raptor does not carry live ammunition and cannot conduct weapons demonstrations, but just from its flight performance, it can See the differences between the third generation machines.

Moreover, Boss Zheng also learned through some gossip and his own analysis, mainly from the mouths of several ace pilots who were seconded from him and originally belonged to their Fourth Nine City Military Region.

It seems that these Raptor fighter jets that have participated in the National Day parade will not need to return to Chengdu, but will be directly installed in the army.

Boss Zheng felt that whether it was due to the geographical location of their military region or the important task of guarding the Forty-Nine City, they must be the first to install Raptor fighters.

Therefore, now that we have this opportunity, it would be best for those who are about to receive these new fighters to learn about them in advance.

Lin Shengli took the visitors to the bottom of the tower to watch the Raptors' flight show.

"Leader Zheng, for this maneuver, there are still certain requirements for the flying height of the fighter plane."

"If we just look at it with our naked eyes, we probably won't be able to see it clearly."

"Please ask someone to prepare some telescopes, preferably one for each person. If it is not enough, two people can use one..."

Hearing this, Boss Zheng laughed and said, "It's easy to say, our army may lack everything, but we don't lack this telescope."

Immediately, Boss Zheng ordered the staff around him to prepare telescopes according to the number of people on site.

When the staff were preparing things, Boss Zheng asked curiously: "Comrade Shengli, I know that all of your pilots are ace pilots. Basically, everyone can fly this maneuver. The difference is basically the success rate." The problem."

"I would like to ask, which pilot are you planning to fly this maneuver today?"

When Lin Shengli heard what Boss Zheng said, he roughly knew what it meant.

Although he asked this question, it can be seen that what Mr. Zheng meant was to see if any of the ace pilots who had been supported by them could carry out today's mission.

Lin Shengli was actually prepared for this.

Yesterday, when I was communicating with the relevant pilots, I found that among the three ace pilots, including Captain Wang, who could basically complete the two specific flying maneuvers with 100% accuracy, one of them was originally from the Sijiucheng Military Region. while supporting comrades from the past.

So, after deliberation, Lin Shengli gave today's flight mission to this comrade from the Forty-Nine City Military Region.

I wonder if this comrade pilot can be considered a homecoming.

Especially when facing so many familiar comrades, while you are all still flying first-generation aircraft, I am already very good at flying third-generation aircraft!

"Leader Zheng, the pilot who came to perform this flight today is one of the several ace pilots you seconded to us."

"You'll be ready later. Although the time they were seconded here is not that long compared to Captain Wang, for the pilots of our Raptor fighter jets, they are not weak at all in terms of technology."

Boss Zheng was very happy when he heard that today's opportunity was given to the pilot who came out from their side. The more he looked at Lin Shengli, the more pleasing he became.

Soon, one of the first three prototypes produced, the Raptor fighter named Tri-3, was pulled onto the runway by the ground crew.

After everything was ready, the pilot's voice was heard on the radio.

"Report, Tri-3 is ready, everything is normal and ready to take off at any time."

Lin Shengli took the radio and said: "Zhi-3 is ready to take off."

"You can perform the Cobra maneuver when passing through the venue later. You must grasp the specific situation and pay attention to safety."

After receiving Lin Shengli's instructions, Tri-3 began to move on the runway.

After a short taxiing, the nose of the No. 3 aircraft was pulled up directly and soared into the sky.

Such a short takeoff taxiing distance immediately shocked everyone present except the staff of the original Special Aviation Research Laboratory.

I saw a comrade behind Mr. Zheng exclaiming: "Oh my God, the take-off distance of this fighter plane is so short!"

"Did you see clearly how far the plane taxied just now?"

"It seems to be about 300 meters. My God, what kind of performance monster is this? The takeoff distance of our current generation aircraft is a full 1200 meters. Oh my god, the takeoff distance alone is reduced to a quarter! "

Boss Zheng was also shocked by the rough way the Raptor took off.

"Comrade Shengli, can this Raptor take off like this normally, or is it taking off to the extreme for demonstration purposes?"

Lin Shengli smiled and said, "Leader Zheng, for safety reasons."

"What we saw today were Raptor fighter jets in their normal take-off attitude."

"We have tested at the base before. If we encounter a sudden emergency, our Raptor fighter jets can take off at the limit at a distance of about 250 meters."

Originally, the take-off distance of about 300 meters was enough to shock everyone.

I heard Lin Shengli say that it can actually shorten the take-off distance!

Although it is just an extreme takeoff, this alone shows that there is no doubt about the power of the Raptor fighter.

At least, this is what everyone sees now in terms of power and aerodynamics.

However, neither power nor aerodynamic layout alone can achieve such a result. Both must be considered at the same time to achieve takeoff like the current Raptor fighter jet.

Moreover, the shorter the take-off distance, the stronger the fighter's overall maneuverability.

When encountering emergencies, fighter planes can take off faster and respond.

Therefore, just this short take-off can play a huge role at critical moments. (End of chapter)
