The factory has a complete test flight airport and a control tower for command. At this time, there are more than ten people in the command room, including Mr. Qin and his group, as well as the factory's senior management, who are looking at the big screen nervously.
Liu Zhe has a long flying time and rich experience in test flight, but no matter how rich his experience is, test flight is ultimately a matter of life and death.
But when Liu Zhe saw such a beautiful plane, which was 100% developed and produced by China itself, he felt very proud when he sat in the cockpit. He looked up at the blue sky. Unlike every previous test flight, he did not have the courage and determination to face death this time.
It seemed as if someone was telling him not to be afraid, there would be no danger, because this was a fighter jet with perfect design and superior performance.
"Have you invited reporters?" Ji Xia asked.
"Hmm?" Commander Wu was stunned for a moment. "Xiao Ji, do you mean we should invite reporters this time?"
Ji Xia smiled and said, "I'm just saying, if China wants to knock down those imperial devils who always covet us with a single punch, I think we can ask reporters to report it. If we don't mind those dogs running up and barking every few days, then there's no need."
These words made everyone laugh.
The factory director was both excited and a little scared. "Teacher Ji, should we wait until the test flight results come out before arranging another test flight and invite reporters then?"
Ji Xia was displeased when she heard this. "Director Yan, training a test pilot is not only very expensive, but they are also rare talents. They are also the backbone of a family, the husband of a wife, the father of a group of children, and the child of an elderly couple. I hope that all the aircraft that come off the production line are zero defects."
Yan Housheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This... Teacher Ji, from a production perspective, achieving zero defects is a very unlikely thing."
Ji Xia smiled and said, "Okay, this fighter jet has a carrying capacity of over 6,000 kilograms. For this test flight, please select a production workshop director to participate with you."
Yan Housheng was completely stunned. He didn't expect it to be like this, but after Ji Xia spoke, the commanders did not object. Instead, they looked at him. Yan Housheng had no choice but to agree.
Of course, he would not really climb onto the plane rashly. Instead, he called a group of inspectors to inspect the plane again. Finally, they found a magnetic screw on the propeller blade that should not have been there.
Once the plane takes off and the propeller blades rotate, the screw will be carried out by centrifugal force and may eventually be sucked into the engine, causing the plane to crash and people to die.
The commanders all looked grim. Ji Xia said, "No one will feel the pain unless it cuts them. I propose that the person responsible for production of parachutes, airplanes, and other products must be involved in future test flights."
Qin Xiao echoed, "I agree with Comrade Ji Xia's proposal."
The management of domestic factories is still a bit poor. Yan Housheng was originally the director of an aircraft factory. He can be said to be very capable in equipping the production line and researching and developing new products. Qin Xiao has also noticed his efforts these days.
However, it seems that he has not done enough, at least he does not have enough understanding in terms of product quality.
Commander Wu nodded and said, "This is a very good proposal. Let's discuss it with the military headquarters and send it out in the form of a red-headed document. This will be the way it's going to be implemented from now on."
In fact, Ji Xia was also inspired by the zero-defect parachute. When General Patton of the United States led the Allied forces to Normandy in Country F to fight against the German army, the death rate of paratroopers was very high because the defect rate of parachutes was too high.
Every defective parachute takes away a paratrooper.
Among all the paratroopers who died, half of them were killed by falling.
In order to curb this defect, the military selected one parachute from the delivered parachutes and had the manufacturer's person in charge jump out of the plane with the parachute on his back. Since then, the pass rate of parachutes has reached 100%.
This fighter has simple but fully functional electronic equipment, excellent flight performance, and emphasizes medium and low altitude transonic maneuverability and long-range combat capabilities; it has a high thrust-to-weight ratio, low wing loading, and can operate in all weather conditions.
Its downward-looking and downward-shooting capability exceeds that of all fighter jets in the world today. It has strong air combat capability, strong ground attack capability, and excellent maneuverability.
As soon as he got started, Liu Zhe felt that the operation was very comfortable. The cockpit was also very comfortable, with a ceiling of meters and very good maneuverability, and a combat range of 2,000 kilometers.
Listening to the fighter plane roaring in the sky and holding the performance of this fighter plane in his hands, Mr. Qin's eyes were filled with tears, his hands were shaking, and his voice was choked with sobs, "Okay, okay, okay, what are you afraid of? What else is there to be afraid of? From now on, the era of bayonets and machine guns is gone forever!"
Commander Wu laughed wildly. "We have our own fighter jets. The US fighter jets don't have such good performance, right?"
Ji Xia didn't say anything. Historically, the F16 fighter jet would not be mass-produced until 1976, so it must be in the research and development stage now.
Once China's fighter jet, named C001, comes out, the US fighter jet will die in the womb and will no longer be worth developing.
After all, the C001 fighter, whether in terms of combat radius, ceiling, combat effectiveness or performance, exceeds the performance of fighter jets in the next decade.
Liu Zhe did not expect that when he got off the fighter jet, he would be able to see so many old leaders. He saluted them one by one and accepted the return salutes from the veteran leaders. For him, this day was the highlight of his life. He successfully test-flew the first independently developed and produced fighter jet with superior performance in China's history.
He met so many old generals.
"How are our fighter planes? Tell us about it. You are the one who has the final say."
In the conference room, Commander Zhou could no longer contain his excitement. His voice was high-pitched, full of pride and pride. People couldn't help but worry about him. I wonder how high his blood pressure must be right now?
"Excellent!" Liu Zhe's eyes flashed with tears. "Excellent! Reporting to the commander, Liu Zhe requests to be able to fly this fighter plane to the battlefield in Vietnam. I will bomb those devils to death and avenge the ancestors who died on the battlefield in Korea!"
"You have great ambition!" Commander Zhou gestured for him to sit down first. "Let's talk about this fighter first. Is there anything that needs improvement?"
Liu Zhe quickly sat down, calmed himself down, thought for a moment, and shook his head. "No, the operability is very good. Whether it's high or low altitude, the ascent and descent process is very stable, and the switching is also very smooth. I can't find any areas that need improvement."
At this time, Yan Housheng and the production director were sitting aside, exhausted. They felt like their souls were lost in the air during the test flight.
Ji Xia nodded and glanced at the two of them. "The aircraft's overall performance has been optimized. We need to focus on production quality in the future. Also, if Comrade Liu Zhe is to train pilots for this fighter in the future, he needs to remind them to always perform a self-inspection before takeoff."
