Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Marseille, Istel's test flight base.

Gene Marley Sagart got into the cockpit he was very familiar with, adjusted the tightness of the helmet and the position of the respirator, and started to turn the switches one by one to start all the self-check procedures.

The green indicator lights that represented the self-check were turned on in turn, and he pressed the engine start button.

The two powerful engines made a deep roar and entered a low-power standby state. He breathed a sigh of relief and calmly reported to the intercom: "Tower Tower, Tower Tower, "Goshawk 2" is ready, everything is normal, You can take off at any time."

"The tower understands, please wait for instructions."

Gene Marley Sagart relaxed a bit and began to wait patiently.

He could probably guess what he was waiting for.

The blister-type cockpit has a good view. From the cockpit, he can clearly observe what is happening on the airport.

A "Falcon" Falcon 20F business jet produced by Dassault Aviation has stopped taxiing on the runway. The cabin door slowly opened, and several people were filed out. He counted and found that 9 people had come down— Well, for this small business jet, it is connected to the standard 4-person crew configuration. There are 13 people packed in this aircraft, which almost reached the passenger limit of this small aircraft. He also recognized it at a glance The two of them turned out to be Mr. Serge Dassault and Mr. Charles Edelsteiner.

The guests who can be accompanied by two important figures, the future heir of the company and Your Excellency the Secretary-General, are obviously not trivial.

It seems that I am waiting for these distinguished guests.

Sure enough, as the guests all stepped off the business jet, the tower's order came: "Goshawk 2", you can take off, hey, man, the boss just said, let you fly some exciting today! "

Gene twitched the corners of his mouth, how many excitements did he fly? Well, let's have a hearty performance!

It seems that you can live the addiction today.

Gene pushed the joystick, opened the afterburner, and at the same time increased the throttle. With his movements, the roar of the engine suddenly changed from low to high, and the war eagle changed from static to rapid acceleration as if being pushed hard. Speed ​​up along the track.

The speed reached VR very quickly. Gene pulled the nose, and the war eagle broke away from the **** of the earth after a slight tremor. However, he did not rush up, but maintained a low-altitude flying attitude. Staring at the reading on the dashboard, waiting for the speed to reach the threshold.

The empty weight of the war eagle under his seat is only 13,400 kg, but it is equipped with two M53-P2 turbofan engines with a maximum afterburner thrust of 95.10 kN. For today’s performance, the aircraft has no external equipment and Only less than half of the fuel has been refilled-which means that the current thrust-to-weight ratio of this aircraft greatly exceeds 1.0.

The speed quickly reached the threshold, and Gene pulled the joystick abruptly while slamming the throttle to the maximum.

The fighter plane and his body immediately received the load of high G, causing Gene's face to be involuntarily distorted, and a slight dizziness invaded him, but this made him even more excited...

Tan Zhenhua, along with Chen Yijian and Song Wenhua, just stepped off the Falcon 20F business jet, and heard the huge roar from another runway at the airport.

Everyone immediately stopped, turning their heads and looking in the direction from which the roar came - in their field of vision, a fighter plane was taking off.

It was an extremely beautiful aircraft, with a front canard plus delta wing and a single vertical tail aerodynamic layout. It had twin-engines, white painting and red outlines. The simple color scheme showed the ubiquitous artistic cells of the Gauls everywhere. .

As if to highlight its excellent flying ability, after leaving the ground, this fighter only passed through the field at low altitude for a short time, and then pulled the nose up to 90 degrees to the ground, just as straight as a rocket. Straight into the blue sky!

Jean drove the fighter plane straight up. After reaching a certain height, he pulled the stick again. The fighter plane obediently turned the nose upside down by 180 degrees, lowered the stick and adjusted it slightly. With the sensitive cooperation of the fly-by-wire control system, the fighter quickly recovered. In level flight.

In the eyes of everyone who looked up on the ground, this fighter had already completed a beautiful loop.

This is the beginning!

Gene laughed happily in his heart, pulling the lever to the bottom again, while manipulating the ailerons to roll in the opposite direction, and kept this posture until the nose of the aircraft was pointed upward again.

On the axis formed by the nose and tail, the fighter quickly rotates in a circle and advances in a spiral shape. This is a standard drum maneuver.

Everyone on the ground was attracted by the fighter plane. They raised their heads and stared at it without blinking, trying to see if it could make more complicated movements.

They were not disappointed.

After warming up with two fancy little moves, Gene started a more complicated performance, demonstrating several common tactical movements of fighters one by one. Even the complicated "Broken S maneuver" was completed perfectly, and finally The "Imaman Maneuver" that integrates viewing and actual combat value is the finale of this flight show.

"Imaman Maneuver" is an innovative maneuver by Hans pilot Imaman. It changed the horizontal maneuver that he used to hover left and right into a dive. The nose was pulled up and somersaulted, and when it reached the top, it rolled half a circle and flew upside down. The state returned to level flight. Viewed from the longitudinal direction, the aircraft turned a 90-degree turn. From the lateral view, the aircraft rose to a height. This motion is not only beautiful, but also plays a very important role in combat, and it is an effective embodiment of the fighter’s maneuverability.

When he drove the fighter plane and landed slowly at the end of the runway, he was greeted by warm applause of course.

Neither Chen Yijian nor Song Wenhua could control their strong desire to explore at this moment. Accompanied by a translator, they couldn’t wait to surround themselves and communicate with Gene, who had just got off the plane. They even got permission from the owner. Then climbed up the gangway to find out what was in the cockpit of the aircraft.

Tan Zhenhua looked at this scene with a smile, as if all this was in his expectation, until Zhan Nuozhu pulled the corner of his clothes and asked: "Zhenhua, what kind of plane is this? It doesn't seem like we were yesterday. The "Phantom 2000" I was talking about? Although it looks a bit like it, it has a pair of small wings, and I remember that the model I looked at yesterday should be a single shot."

"Of course it's not "Phantom 2000". Didn't you see that this plane has two engines? So 2000 times 2 equals 4000." Tan Zhenhua replied in a joking tone.

"You're just bullshit!" Zhan Nuozhu curled his lips and said, "Why is there such a name? Isn't it too random?"

At this time, Charles Edelsteiner’s proud voice came from far away: “Gentlemen, please allow me to introduce you to Dassault’s newest fighter family member-twin-engine heavy fighter, "Phantom 4000"."

"what?!!"
