Technical analysis, seeking to revitalize China’s science and technology

Chapter 33 The transformation is completed and the fighter plane is arranged for test flight
Five days later...

Outside the warehouse, inside a huge temporary tent.

Li Youchen took the lead and began to disassemble the old parts of the Su-27.While retaining the original fuselage, the tail and wings were removed, and the old turbofan engine was also replaced.

New wings, tails and newly developed fourth-generation performance turbofan engines were installed one after another.Li Youchen also asked the support staff to replace the electronic equipment and install the advanced fly-by-wire flight control system equipment.

The disassembly and installation process lasted for seven hours, and the process was very smooth, and the assembly was completed.

Mr. Yue turned the tires of his wheelchair and moved over. Looking at the Su-27 that had been modified to the third and a half generations in front of him, he could no longer hold back the throbbing in his heart. The corners of his mouth opened and trembled slightly, and tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably!

In the past, how difficult was it for China to own its first fighter jet?

Now, it is even more difficult to own the first improved fighter jet.

40 years!At this moment, Huaxia finally has its own improved fighter aircraft, three and a half generations long, and is technically catching up in stages.

"Mr. Yue, what do you think? If you are not satisfied with this improvement, I can try to make a second modification in another way."

Li Youchen came over and deliberately said that he could continue to improve.

"No need, you are a genius. You have your own way of modifying the Su-27. Facts have proved that even if you are only in your early twenties, in fact, you have achieved greater achievements than your predecessors, far more than the invention of an atomic bomb. If the next four generations of fighter jets are developed by you, their achievements will be comparable to those of the forefathers of scientists in the past."

"After more than ten years of reform and opening up, at this moment, we finally have the first improved fighter jet."

"Thank you, Comrade Li Youchen."

On behalf of the Northern Military Region, Mr. Yue paid him a military salute and completed his work on improving the air force fighter aircraft organized by the military, allowing the motherland to have the first improved three-and-a-half-generation fighter aircraft. For this reason, he paid him a military salute.

Li Youchen nodded slightly, turned around and left, "If there are any technical problems during the test flight, come to me at Chang'an University of Science and Technology at any time."

"Then I'll go back first. It's been too long."

He stayed in the Northern Military Region for more than a week. Teacher Zhao Hong helped him ask for leave during college. If he didn't go back, he was really afraid of being expelled from the Polytechnic University.

"Walk slowly, little sir."

Mr. Yue respectfully called "Sir" and watched him leave with everyone around him. Wait until the test flight of the improved fighter is completed to see if there are any problems?
The Su-27 has gone from the third generation to the third and a half generation. In terms of performance and parts assembly, it is already infinitely close to the design scope of the fourth generation fighter.

Of course, it is not yet a fourth-generation fighter...

"Mr. Yue, I have a question."

The soldier looked at Su-27 and said doubtfully.

"what is the problem?"

Elder Yue asked.

"Can the name be changed? Since it is our independent all-round transformation, it doesn't feel good to continue to call it Su-27. Do we want to change it to another name?"

The soldier took this into consideration and asked.

"Change it. The Su-27 is no longer suitable. Since it is an improved fighter, it is a type of advanced fighter with the primary goal of annihilating the enemy."

"With Ten as the starting stage, let's call it Jian Shi."

Mr. Yue decided to temporarily name it with this code name.

"Jian Shi, that's a good name, let's use it!"

The soldier laughed.

Is it fate?Still a coincidence!In the end, Li Youchen never expected that a series of fighter jets starting with the J-[-] belonging to China would be officially owned in this era. Because of his leadership, the development of air force equipment would usher in a comprehensive technological innovation.

Beijing Academy of Sciences, someone's office.

"This is the situation. The Su-27 has officially passed the technical improvements of the fourth-generation fighter and was renamed the J-[-]. The test you set for Li Youchen's kid has passed." Mr. Yue solemnly told him on the phone.

When Academician Li heard these words, he was so excited that he couldn't sit still!

He didn't expect it to be like this. With his true skills, he realized the improvement of a third-generation aircraft to a third-and-a-half-generation aircraft. He really lacked a stage to display his skills.

"It's good to pass the test. This way, I have a legitimate reason to hold an overall meeting on the development of fourth-generation fighter aircraft, start preparations, and let Li Youchen enter the Beijing Academy of Sciences in advance and become a researcher."

Academician Li felt that he passed this test, which was enough reason to persuade some people in scientific research to form a project team headed by Li Youchen to specialize in the overall research and development of fourth-generation fighters.

"It seems that you think highly of him."

"Whether he graduates from college or not? He is destined to be admitted to the Capital Academy of Sciences in advance."

Mr. Yue asked speculatively.

"That's right. I will be responsible for the preparations. When you successfully test the J-[-] fighter jet, I will have enough reasons to convince some important people."

"Remember, arrange a test flight as soon as possible."

Academician Li deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

Mr. Yue: "The situation is clear."

It is very urgent. Can it create favorable conditions for the development of future fourth-generation fighters?

At the Capital Academy of Sciences, the upcoming plenary meeting will be very important.

The renamed J-[-] fighter jets have begun a round of test flights on the air force base runway.

-

The next morning, the first flight ceremony officially began.

Mr. Yue and several Air Force generals arrived at the scene and presided over the first flight of the improved J-[-] fighter, with selected Air Force pilots in charge.

The tractor pulled the J-[-] fighter jet out of the warehouse through a steel wire rope and moved it to the runway, where it was ready to accelerate for take-off.

After being prepared, the pilot holding a safety helmet turned around to face the gazes of Mr. Yue and the air force. He knew that this was a critical time. Can the takeoff be successful?Will it determine whether the Chinese Air Force can have an independently developed fighter jet?Becoming the leading air force fighter marks the beginning of a new era.

"There's no need to be cautious, just be bold. Even if it's an improved third-and-a-half-generation fighter, you can do it and increase your confidence."

Mr. Yue encouraged him not to be too nervous or cautious, but to be more courageous.

"Yes! Mr. Yue."

The pilots were polite. Although they didn't want to be nervous, they were also some of the panicked ones.

Pilots did not have much confidence in the test flight of the improved third-generation semi-J-[-] fighter, because the original mechanical control equipment was replaced with fly-by-wire flight control equipment, which is still the most advanced control system.

I was informed last night that someone needed to test-fly the modified J-[-] fighter jet. The pilot volunteered, but at first he didn't expect to need fly-by-wire flight control.

Before arriving at the runway in the morning, I only temporarily learned some knowledge of fly-by-wire flight control.

"Before taking off, familiarize yourself with the control equipment of the fly-by-wire flight control system. You have one to two hours, so take the time to familiarize yourself with the controls."

Yue Lao guessed that he would make mistakes in operating the J-[-] fighter because he was not familiar with the fly-by-wire flight control, so he gave him two hours to familiarize himself with the operating instructions before conducting the first flight test.

"learn……"

The pilot responded and immediately went to the cockpit of the J-[-] fighter to familiarize himself with the control instructions.
