Chapter 161
Horrible test flight data
The fighter jet quickly circled from a short distance away and flew back.
Then came the second event:
vertical climb!
The ace pilot pushed the control stick hard.
Suddenly the J-20 suddenly raised its head, climbing upwards rapidly at an almost vertical angle.
There are two engines with a thrust of 19.38 tons.
It is not easy for the J-20 to climb vertically.
You must know the F119 engine powered by the beautiful Chinese F22.
The maximum thrust is only 15.9 tons.
A full 3.38 tons more.
This power is enough for the J-20 to perform various super maneuvers.
The advantage of having plenty of power is.
The J-20 can now carry additional weapons or fuel.
“Okay!”
Minister Yang couldn’t help but exclaimed as he looked at the J-20 flying aerobatics.
The other three leaders also nodded frequently.
Everyone’s eyes were shining with joy.
At this moment.
The J-20 has already flown to an altitude of 3,000 meters.
“Change to level flight according to the predetermined heading and test the cruising speed.”
The instruction came from the pilot’s headset.
“Yes!”
The words fell at the same time.
The nose of the J-20, which was crawling vertically, began to sink.
Under the action of the omnidirectional vector engine, it quickly changed to a level flight state.
This super maneuverable action instantly aroused applause from the audience.
The ground force staff couldn’t help but comment:
“That’s awesome! I’ve only seen this scene on TV.”
“Yeah! Only the raptors from the beautiful country could do it before.”
“It’s incredible, the new launch The performance is too powerful.”
“Without such abundant energy, it is impossible to make such easy movements.”
…
At this moment, the pilot in the air has increased the throttle.
The speed of the J-20 has increased visibly to the naked eye.
The speedometer soared directly from 1000 to 1200 km/h.
As it gradually approaches the supersonic range.
A white mist-like shock wave appeared on the nose of the aircraft.
Boom~~~~
After a deafening loud noise.
The J-20 easily broke through the supersonic speed state.
As the cruising speed continues to increase.
Mach 1.58, Mach 1.62, Mach 1.87…
In the end, it directly broke through Mach 2.5.
The pilot suppressed his excitement and quickly tightened the throttle.
Stay at Mach 2.5.
The flight lasted another 8 minutes before returning.
On the viewing platform, there was already thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time.
The leaders looked at each other and saw the burning light in each other’s eyes.
Among them, Commander Gao was the most excited.
He reported loudly: “This time the J-20 flew at supersonic speed for a total of 48 minutes.”
You must know that the F22’s cruising speed is Mach 1.58, which can only be maintained for 30 minutes at most.
And the maximum speed during combat is Mach 2.25 (with afterburner on), which only lasts for 3 minutes.
But our J-20 actually took 15 minutes longer than the F22.
In the air, a second can determine life or death.
With 15 minutes of ample time, there is so much that can be done.
China’s previous fighter jets were only third generation.
Neither the J-10, nor the J-11, nor the J-11B have supersonic cruise capabilities.
The J-11B can barely be considered subsonic and its flight speed is not very fast.
Supersonic cruise is when the aircraft does not turn on the afterburner.
It can sustain supersonic flight above Mach 1.5 for more than 30 minutes.
This is the only standard.
The beautiful country’s fighter planes are one generation ahead of China.
There are four standards for fourth-generation fighters:
1. Outstanding stealth performance.
2. Supersonic cruise capability.
3. Advanced integrated airborne electronic system.
4. Super mobility
Speaking of these four standards.
Commander Gao felt ashamed.
Strictly speaking, China’s previous fighter aircraft only possessed one item.
That is the advanced integrated airborne electronic system.
Even the stealth performance is not up to standard.
The straight intake duct of the J-11 is very conspicuous, and radar waves can easily bounce back continuously from the intake duct.
Not to mention the power.
It turns out that what China purchased were AL-31FN engines from Mao Xiong.
It limits the fighter’s performance too much.
But there is no way.
In addition to this AL-31FN, China cannot buy other military aviation engines.
But now there is a breakthrough in domestically produced engines.
The future of a powerful air force is coming.
Minister Yang and the other three thought that things were very busy.
So I left after observing the test flight.
Commander Gao and Suchen were left.
“Mr. Su.”
Gao Zhan’s face was filled with a joyful smile: “I want to discuss something with you?”
Su Chen said: “Please tell me.”
Gao Zhan’s tone was very friendly: “After seeing the test flight results, I’m very shocked.”
“Such an engine should be installed on every fighter plane of the Air Force.”
“Can you develop a castrated version of the engine with a thrust of about 15 tons?”
Su Chen raised his eyebrows: “What do you mean? , I want to replace other models.”
“Yes!”
Gao Zhan said decisively: “After all, this J-20 is still in the test flight stage.”
“The number of mass production will not be too many in the short term.”
“Those J-10s, The J-11 is the main force of the Air Force.”
Su Chen asked seriously: “How many units are needed?”
Gao Zhan replied: “Currently, the Air Force is equipped with 280 J-10s and 170 J-11s.”
“So the purchase quantity is at least 450 units.”
Su Chen nodded: “No problem, 20 million yuan per unit.”
He just quickly calculated the cost in the system.
It is 15 million yuan, so only 5 million yuan of profit is added.
For the country’s military industry.
Su Chen is very supportive, so just make less money.
This is not for himself, but for the people under his command who need to support their families.
“This price is much cheaper than the 35 million yuan of Mao Xiongguo’s AL-31FN.”
Gao Zhan said in surprise: “Mr. Su, you still have to make money.” ”
After all, developing a vector engine, this achievement is The value is immeasurable.”
Su Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Commander Gao, I know it.”
Listen to what he said.
Gao Zhan didn’t ask any more questions.
The two parted ways.
Huazhi is busy mass-producing engines.
The Air Force began non-stop test flights.
During this period.
The J-20 equipped with an omnidirectional vector engine is performing super maneuvering actions.
Someone accidentally photographed it and posted it online.
This immediately caused countless Chinese people to speculate:
“Holy shit, is this the latest fighter jet?”
“Mysterious black paint, duck-shaped design, the performance must be the same.” ”
Why didn’t you notice? , the special tail of the fighter plane?”
“Really! Although the pixels are low and can’t be seen clearly, I have never seen this before.” ”
No need to ask! The military must be awesome and have developed a secret weapon!”
“Brilliant! The research and development capabilities of our Air Force!”
“I’m so curious! Is this a fourth-generation fighter?”
…
It’s not just the people who are curious.
A large number of comment articles have also appeared on media platforms.
Just when everyone was making random guesses.
The official website of the Chinese government announced a piece of breaking news!
