With a loud noise, people passing by were startled and stopped.
"What was that? Why was there an explosion?"
The confused people looked up at the sky in horror, they thought they were hit by a missile!
A resident on the roadside who knew a little bit about the situation had a dumbfounded expression on his face.
"No, that was a sonic boom. That yellow plane just broke the sound barrier!"
"What's a sonic boom?"
"You don't even know about the sonic boom?"
"A sonic boom is a phenomenon unique to fighter jets that exceed the speed of sound, accompanied by a huge explosion of air waves!"
"Does this mean that this fighter jet is very powerful?"
"It's not very powerful, it's fucking very powerful!"
"Now that I think about it, this is the first time I've seen a sonic boom here!"
"Not only you, but I've also seen it for the first time."
Command center.
The generals were stunned when they saw the fighter plane break the sound barrier!
"Lao Du, what are you doing?"
"Reporting to the command center, the fighter's engine is still too powerful. I simply tried a power-on pass, and it broke the sound barrier!"
"Old Du, don't test special maneuvers during the pass, to avoid scaring our people!"
"yes!"
Then, the new fighter plane raised its head, and a long tongue of fire shot out from the tail of the engine, shooting straight into the sky, and in an instant it penetrated into the thick clouds!
"Drop, climb vertically!"
"What a fast climb!"
"Isn't this a vertical launch missile?"
Outside the airport, more and more people gathered around, and gradually formed a crowd of onlookers!
This scene was only seen during the first test flight of the Zhan 20!
"good!!"
I don't know who took the lead, but suddenly there was a burst of warm cheers outside the airport.
High in the sky.
Du Lingyun was flying a fighter jet, his heart was burning with excitement!
After several difficult maneuvers, he is ready to test supersonic cruise!
This is a step that has never been included in fighter jet testing before.
"Reporting to the command center, I plan to add an additional test content!"
"Adding content temporarily is against the rules!"
When the generals in the command center heard this, their brows immediately furrowed.
"Commander, I think what Commander Du said makes sense."
"How do you say that?"
"Because our country's previous fighter jet engines were not that powerful, many tests had certain performance limits."
"Now that engine performance has achieved a breakthrough, we should add some additional test items to understand the extreme performance of the new engine as much as possible!"
After a brief meeting, several Air Force generals immediately decided to allow additional testing items.
"Lao Du, what additional test items are you planning to take?"
"Supersonic cruise and supersonic afterburner flight!"
"What?"
"This fighter jet has just been tested, and you're going to test such an extreme flight. Are you crazy?"
"Reporting to the commander, this fighter has not been able to reach its limits under normal testing. Judging from the current flight situation, the fighter is in a very stable state!"
"I think so!"
Suddenly, an old man's powerful voice came from behind.
Everyone turned around and saluted in unison.
"Hello, old leader!"
The old man has a kind face, but there is a solemn air in his bones. He is the highest-ranking general of the Dragon Air Force.
General Weng Tianqiong!
"Mr. Weng, why are you here?"
Old Weng chuckled, then nodded to Old Qian and the others, and then stayed on Shengge for another three seconds.
It was obvious that they had just exchanged views.
"It's such an important matter, of course I have to come and take a look!"
"Now that our country's science and technology are relatively advanced, we should also change our old ideas. Today, let's make an exception and let Xiao Du give it a try!"
"Yes, old chief!"
Immediately, several generals gave orders to Du Lingyun.
"Lao Du, your request for an additional test has been approved!"
"Roger that, Chief!"
Du Lingyun was delighted and immediately climbed to a high altitude, then rushed towards the sea!
As the speed increased, Du Lingyun gradually pushed the thrust throttle on the left side of the fighter to the top.
Puff...Boom...
A long white arrow broke through the clouds!
After a loud noise passed by my ears, the fighter jet cabin became surprisingly quiet.
Mach 1!
The two turbojet 20s at the tail of the Zhan 20 spewed out long tongues of fire, and more than a dozen Mach rings were as brilliant as diamonds!
Mach 2!
Du Lingyun sat steadily in the cockpit, his eyes fixed on the front, but he didn't dare to leave the dashboard for a moment.
While testing the aircraft's extreme performance, he also has to consider whether there are any abnormalities in the data!
This is the hardest part of being a test pilot.
Mach 3!
The Z-20 fighter jet equipped with two latest engines is still as stable as a rock!
Mach 3.5!
The fighter plane's acceleration seemed to have not reached its end yet, and it continued to move forward rapidly like a flash of lightning.
Mach 4!
This short acceleration seemed so long to Du Lingyun!
As a test pilot, his body was no longer young. When he felt that his body was reaching its limit, he rolled his eyes downward!
But he saw something that surprised him.
He hadn't even turned on the afterburner yet!
But the fighter jet had already reached Mach 4.5 before it could maintain its speed!
How horrible is this?
Apart from excitement and soaring blood pressure, Du Lingyun could not find any other feelings to describe his mood at the moment!
