Installation, commissioning, calibration, flaw detection... a series of operations, all tools and processes were pre-designed and even simulated. As soon as the engine arrived, all R&D personnel got to work, methodically following the predetermined procedures.
For a whole week, a group of people worked around the clock and finally integrated the WS-B1 into the Soryu fuselage, combining them precisely to ensure there were no malfunctions or hidden dangers.
After repeated flaw detection and careful inspection, finally, on the 27th day of the lunar year, the giant steel dragon started moving in everyone's expectant eyes.
The wind rolls up the cold clouds to the clear blue sky, and its mighty power swallows up the Ox and turns into a rainbow; I want to ask who will embrace the moon in the sky, and fly the Chinese dragon in the jade universe!
When the Canglong J-35 took off instantly 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 require a relatively long runway to take off. During the Middle East war, large-scale attacks on airports not only gave rise to the world's top ten drones, but also exposed the shortcomings of runway takeoffs.
Especially during the Cold War, in the arms race between China and the Soviet Union, 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, which is the vertical takeoff and landing that 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 giant gray dragon, dazzling against the azure sky. The pilot in charge of the test flight was Liu Zhiheng, an ace pilot from 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 you cannot highlight 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 may not have reached the world's leading level in the development of fighter jets such as the Mighty Dragon, but the brave will prevail when two meet on 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 when faced with provocation, it was able to launch a powerful counterattack. Much of this success was due to technical skill. Liu Zhiheng piloted a fighter jet and repelled foreign aircraft far superior to their own.
And now, they also want to have world-leading fighter jets. With the instincts of years of training and the muscle memory strengthened by the J-35 operation simulation training, when Liu Zhiheng piloted the Canglong into the air, his blood was almost boiling with excitement, but he maintained the extreme calmness of his driving instinct.
Excellent pilots, equipped with superior fighter jets, a powerful combination will surely be invincible!
Soaring through the familiar blue sky, he executed various super maneuvers effortlessly, his new companions providing him with the swiftest responses and strongest support. Unprecedented challenges, thanks to the powerful performance of his fighter jet, were easily accomplished.
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, in just a few seconds, it switched 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 unmatched 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, their Canglong, which was privately denied internationally for its mediocre performance and combat radius of only 300 kilometers, can now fly thousands of miles, and it still has the ability to sustain continuous flight even after consuming various super-maneuvers.
It's no longer a useless piece of junk that consumes a third of its fuel for just one vertical takeoff. It truly has instant takeoff and long-range beyond-visual-range strike capabilities! It's a truly technologically mature short-range vertical takeoff fighter!
In the future, it will take off from the sea with a full load of ammunition, and bullying the second-generation and third-generation aircraft will undoubtedly be like a piece of cake. Even the fourth-generation aircraft will be in front of it, and it will be the absolute king of air combat!
...Such a prediction made everyone so happy that they almost lost their minds.
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 has plagued the world, giving the world the possibility to witness miracles and also allowing China to lead the world in sublimation.
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 its return voyage, and everyone was almost beside themselves with excitement. They all focused their gazes on Wu Tong, who, as always, remained calm as he reviewed the data. Their success today was based on the progress brought about by Wu Tong's scientific research.
"Why is everyone looking at me? Once Canglong lands, we'll complete the inspection and data collection, and then hold a celebration banquet. I won't forget!" Wu Tong smiled and changed the subject: "The cafeteria must have been prepared in advance. Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your 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 personnel. Wu Tong did not want all the attention and credit to be focused on her because of her halo.
"Everyone's worked hard these days. Let's relax at the celebration banquet later! Finally, we've successfully presented a New Year's gift to our motherland!" The Canglong J-35 successfully took off before the Lunar New Year! This time, there were no accidents. She had fulfilled her promise this year!
With the success of R&D and the fulfillment of his vow, Wu Tong's brows relaxed and his smile deepened! A young man with lofty ambitions.
"This is a must. We'll have a few more drinks later. It's all voluntary. If you don't drink, you can have drinks instead!" Knowing that Wu Tong was always humble, Zhan Gong 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.
