Chapter 308 Dazzling
Installation, debugging, calibration, flaw detection... a series of operations, all tools and processes are pre-designed, and even simulated. As soon as the engine arrived, all R&D personnel started to work, and began to operate in an orderly manner according to the predetermined procedures.
For a whole week, a group of people worked around the clock and finally integrated the WS-B1 into the Canglong fuselage, combining them precisely to ensure that there would be no malfunctions or hidden dangers.
After repeated flaw detection and precise inspection, finally, on the 27th day of the lunar year, the giant steel dragon started moving amidst everyone's expectant eyes.
The wind rolls up the cold clouds and turns the blue sky into a rainbow; the mighty force that swallows the Ox and the Stars turns into a rainbow; I want to ask who can hold the moon in the sky, and fly the Chinese dragon in the jade universe!
When the Canglong J-35 took off in an instant at a speed faster than thunder and lightning, without gliding, under the action of lift power, thunderous cheers could be heard inside and outside the control room.
As we all know, fixed-wing aircraft generally need a relatively long runway to take off. During the war in the Middle East, the large-scale attacks on airports not only gave birth to the world's top ten drones, but also made the world see the shortcomings of runway takeoffs.
Especially during the Cold War, in the arms race between the other side of the sea and the neighboring Russian bear, this disadvantage was infinitely magnified in the case of a nuclear strike. Therefore, under the catalysis of Cold War thinking, a most advanced way of aircraft takeoff was born, that is, vertical take-off and landing, which only existed in science fiction movies in the past.
The futuristic aircraft in science fiction movies never need a runway. They can take off and land vertically as long as there is a flat ground. This cool take-off and landing method has now come to the real world!
They did it, vertical takeoff, real vertical takeoff!
No one could take their eyes off the gray dragon, which was so dazzling under the azure sky. The pilot in charge of the test drive was Liu Zhiheng, an ace pilot sent by the carrier-based aviation brigade.
A good pilot is the key to determining the combat effectiveness of a fighter jet. For fighter jets of the same level, the pilot's operation is the decisive factor in determining success or failure. For fighter jets of unequal levels, the pilot is required to have the ability to absolutely counterattack.
No matter how advanced the weapons are, they are only used by individuals after all. If they cannot demonstrate solid technology on today's modern fighter jets, even the best fighter jets will not be able to exert their greatest advantages.
China's air force equipment as a whole, in the unprecedented development of fighters such as the Mighty Dragon, may not have reached the world's leading level, but the brave will win when two meet in a narrow road. The Chinese Air Force and its pilots have never stopped their persistent pursuit of their own skills.
After China's rise, even if it encounters provocation, it can give a strong counterattack. Most of the reasons for victory are in technical operation. Liu Zhiheng flew a fighter plane and repelled foreign fighter planes that were more advanced than theirs.
And now, they also need to have world-leading fighter jets. With the instincts of years of training and the strengthened muscle memory of J-35 operation simulation training, when Liu Zhiheng piloted the Canglong into the air instantly, his blood was almost boiling with excitement, yet he maintained the extreme calmness of his driving instinct.
Excellent pilots, equipped with superior fighter planes, a powerful combination will surely be invincible!
Soaring in the familiar blue sky, he performed various super maneuvers with ease, and his new partners gave him the fastest response and the strongest support. The unprecedented high-difficulty challenges were all easily accomplished under the powerful performance of the fighter.
The ultra-low-altitude flight almost brushed the yellow sand, instantly lifted off and accelerated, continuing the supersonic cruise speed of the J-20 and H-20. Under high-speed flight, within just a few seconds, it changed from high-speed flight to lifting off and then to hovering.
Backflip, falling leaf, cobra maneuver...super translation maneuver...the data summarized one by one represent the unrivaled and superior performance of the Soryu J-35!
The most crucial thing is that not only did they successfully launch the STOVL fighter, but also, the international community privately denied that its performance was useless and its combat radius was only 300 kilometers. But now, their Canglong has already traveled thousands of miles, and it still has the ability to sustain sustained flight even after consuming various super-maneuvers.
It is no longer a beautiful waste that consumes one-third of the fuel for just a vertical takeoff. It is truly a short-range vertical takeoff fighter with instant takeoff and long-range beyond-visual-range strike capabilities! It is a real, technologically mature short-range vertical takeoff fighter!
In the future, it will take off at sea with a full load of ammunition, and bullying second-generation and third-generation aircraft will undoubtedly be a piece of cake. Even in front of fourth-generation aircraft, it will be the absolute king of air combat!
·····Such predictions moved everyone, and the joy almost overwhelmed everyone's heads.
All of this is based on the surging power provided by the WS-B1 engine successfully developed and conquered by Wu Tong. It not only continues the super-endurance capability of the WS-15S, but also helps their Canglong break through the ultimate energy consumption problem that plagues the world, giving the world the possibility to witness miracles and allowing China to lead the world.
In the control room, as Canglong steadily performed one move after another that exceeded his limits, the data feedback from various performance tests and the record-breaking data seemed to be the most normal operation.
Canglong successfully embarked on the return voyage, and everyone was almost too excited to control themselves. In the same action, they focused their attention on Wu Tong, who was as calm as usual, reviewing the data. Their success in breaking through the air today was based on the progress brought about by Wu Tong's scientific research results.
"Why are you all looking at me? Once Canglong lands, we'll do a complete inspection and data collection, and then hold a celebration banquet. I won't forget it!" Wu Tong smiled and changed the subject: "The cafeteria must have made preparations in advance. We have to thank our President Lu for his thoughtful arrangements!"
Although she contributed to the success of the Canglong J-35, such success was due to the dedicated efforts of all R&D staff. Wu Tong did not want all the attention and credit to be focused on her because of her halo.
"Everyone has worked hard these days. Let's relax at the celebration banquet later! Finally, we have successfully presented the New Year's gift to the motherland!" Canglong J-35 took off smoothly before the New Year! This time, there were no accidents. She fulfilled her promise this year!
With the success in R&D and the fulfillment of his vow, Wu Tong's eyebrows relaxed and his smile deepened! The ambition of a young man.
"This is a must. We'll have a few more drinks later. It's all voluntary. If you don't drink, it's okay to have drinks instead!" Knowing that Wu Tong was always humble, Engineer Zhan and others were not in a hurry to heap praises on Wu Tong. They immediately followed Wu Tong's topic and turned to the discussion of the celebration banquet.
