Ling Yue stood in the middle of the venue, with two pilots in front of her and people surrounding her in an arc behind her. Some were installation engineers, some were soldiers responsible for heavy work, some were responsible for venue construction or guarding, and so on.
"Let's confirm your flight mission again."
Ling Yue said in a deep voice.
If they missed one or two test tasks, these people would have to go to space again.
Only through constant confirmation and familiarity can she get the results she wants in one test.
Ling Yue squatted on the ground and motioned for the two to sit down as well, then continued, "This test flight requires you to strictly control the aircraft's performance and maneuverability, and even more so, you must cross the red line again and again. All..."
"Don't worry, Academician Ling, we are already prepared."
Both of them had smiles on their faces. Aircraft test flying is inherently dangerous, and those of them who have learned it know even better how difficult each task is.
Last night, they handed their suicide notes to their captain.
If I can survive, I will have achieved success and fame. If I cannot survive, I will have served my country loyally. Either way, I will have no regrets.
Ling Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no expression of relaxation on her face. The fighter plane had not landed safely yet, so everything was uncertain.
"Now start the test flight program."
"Yes!" the two responded.
Ling Yue asked solemnly, "The first test item is the aircraft performance and maneuverability test. What are the main test items?"
Xu Qingyu: "We test the fighter's flight performance, including its maximum speed, climb rate, range, and endurance, as well as its maneuverability and stability."
Ling Yue nodded: "Very good. Next, what are the main test items of the power system?"
Li Gongchengdao: "Testing the fighter's engine performance and reliability, including thrust, fuel consumption, service life and other aspects."
Ling Yue said: "Weapons."
Xu Qingyu: "We test the performance of the fighter's weapon system and fire control system, including the range, hit accuracy, and anti-interference capability of missiles and artillery shells."
Ling Yue: "Electronic system testing direction."
"It tests the performance and reliability of the fighter's radar, communications, navigation and other electronic systems, as well as its battlefield situation awareness and combat effectiveness."
Ling Yue: "What are the last two items?"
"Protection system and ergonomics testing. Protection system testing is to test the performance and reliability of the fighter's armor, body armor and other protective systems, as well as its survivability on the battlefield."
“Human-machine engineering tests the performance and reliability of aspects such as human-machine interface design, cockpit environment, and control comfort to ensure pilot safety and comfort.”
Ling Yue pursed her lips, stared intently into the eyes of the two men, and finally asked, "What operations need to be carried out in the ground experiment?"
"Low, medium and high speed taxiing are required. The low speed taxiing speed is 30-80 km/h, the medium speed taxiing speed is 100-180 km/h and the high speed taxiing speed is 200-240 km/h."
Ling Yue stood up from the ground and bowed slightly to the two of them: "Please, both of you."
"Go up."
The two men stood up and saluted Ling Yue.
Regardless of success or failure, Ling Yue is the idol of these people.
Ling Yue didn't smile at all.
Fighter aircraft flight tests are used to find out the limits of new aircraft and fill in various performance parameters for the new aircraft.
During the test flight, test pilots need to approach or even break the "red line" to test whether the design solutions for the equipment's power, operability, safety, etc. are reasonable.
Therefore, test flight is also a very dangerous and necessary step.
Zhao Shi stood beside Ling Yue and looked around. Qian Zilin was still nowhere to be seen. He asked softly, "Ling Yue, aren't you waiting for Dean Qian?"
Ling Yue shook her head: "Uncle Qian must have something to do, otherwise he wouldn't have broken the appointment, and look at all the people gathered around him."
Once the time is determined, it cannot be changed at will.
This is not playing house. Just pick a time. If someone can't come due to something, we can just go our separate ways.
"Let's go, we are in the control room."
With that, Ling Yue turned and walked towards the control room, which was right next to it and only a few minutes' walk away.
"How are the preparations going?" Ling Yue asked, standing behind the test flight engineer at the console.
"Don't worry, Academician Ling, everything is ready, just waiting for the mission to be given."
Ling Yue nodded when she heard this: "It's 7:51 now. The test will start at 8 o'clock sharp."
"yes!"
After the notice was passed down, Ling Yue brought a chair and sat next to the test flight engineer, waiting for eight o'clock to arrive.
At eight o'clock sharp, the control room picked up the communicator: "Testing begins, starting with the human-machine project test."
Xu Qingyu and Li Gongcheng: "Understood."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them checked their seats, button positions and equipment on their bodies almost simultaneously.
"Inspection completed."
Ling Yue nodded and turned on the communicator screen: "Let's get started."
Xu Qingyu placed his hand on the aircraft's joystick and pressed it gently.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
......
The plane began to glide slowly on the track, then accelerated again and again.
Li Gongcheng looked at the speed panel in front of him and said, "The low-speed maximum has been reached. The medium-speed test will begin."
"The control room understands. Please be safe." After the test flight engineer finished speaking, his hand holding the communicator turned slightly white.
It is still possible to survive at low speeds, but at medium speeds and above, you can only do your best and leave the rest to fate.
For a long time, the control room kept hearing reports, but there was no trace of the fighter plane in the sky.
