Vector Engine Test Flight
Although Gao Zhan is not from a major.
But as commander of the Air Force.
He is quite familiar with these cutting-edge military technologies.
“Omnidirectional vector engine.”
Commander Gao suppressed the excitement in his heart and suggested: “Let’s try it.”
“Yes, yes! New technologies must be tested many times.”
“In this way, problems can be discovered and we can continue to Perfect.”
Other experts agreed.
For the military industry, new technology often means poor reliability.
For example, the beautiful National Capital Ford-class aircraft carrier.
It is recognized as the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world.
However, many new technologies have been adopted, which has led to endless problems.
Either the catapult is faulty or the lift platform is faulty.
Hear this.
Minister Yang was also worried.
After all, military use is different from civil aviation.
What’s more, this is the most advanced thrust vector technology
. Su Chen was calm and calm.
Look how calm he is.
Minister Yang’s anxious heart also regained his composure: “Let’s start the test!”
It’s still the same operation process.
As the alarm bell rings.
All operating workers evacuated the test bench.
Mr. Lu started the engine.
Boom boom boom!
After idling for a few minutes, the engine fired.
It starts with a slow test run, followed by maximum power operation.
Blue tail flames burst out from the nozzle.
It’s so dazzling that your heart beats faster.
The data on the display has increased significantly.
The expert team all gathered around and looked dumbfounded.
It took a long time before someone’s voice trembled:
“It went from the original rated power of 132 kilonewtons to 190 kilonewtons.”
“It’s too powerful. This completely exceeds the level of the beautiful country’s F119.”
“Not only that, the thrust-to-weight ratio 12, I hope it will be bigger than the 10.5 of the F135!”
“Oh my God! This is just a prototype.”
“Amazing! The thrust will definitely be improved during mass production.”
…
The eyes of the experts at this moment are nothing but shock!
See this scene.
Minister Yang and Commander Gao already knew the answer.
The result of this review was not qualified.
But full marks for excellence!
“Mr. Su.”
Minister Yang seemed to suddenly remember something: “Does this engine have a serial number?”
Su Chen said, “You haven’t picked it up yet?”
Minister Yang turned to Commander Gao: “In that case, Just give him the military code name.”
Gao Zhan was shocked and nodded quickly: “Okay!”
The expert team also looked at Su Chen with admiring eyes.
It is a great honor to get a military code name.
It is also the leader’s recognition of this engine.
Minister Yang asked again: “Have you picked up the model of the new fighter?”
Gao Zhan quickly replied: “According to the previous rules, it should be the J-15.”
“What do you think of this model?”
Minister Yang turned to ask Su Chen: “But It doesn’t matter.”
Su Chen said naturally, but the leader was not satisfied.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked him.
So, he said: “It just so happened that the vector engine was developed.”
“Isn’t our country in the middle of a decade?”
“How about calling it J-20?”
Minister Yang’s eyes lit up: “Good model, fourth-generation fighter That’s it.”
Hearing the decision.
Commander Gao’s eyes widened.
With one word, Su Chen made the leader break the rules of fighter aircraft models.
This person’s influence is also too great.
“Report to the leader.”
The leader of the expert team said: “The acceptance is completed, the data completely exceeds the standard.”
Minister Yang nodded with satisfaction: “Your military should speed up.”
“Strive for the J-20 to be unveiled at the Zhuhai Air Show .”
soon.
The engine approval certificate has come out, and the military code is WD20.
Suchen’s engine is guaranteed by system experts and technology.
You don’t need regular testing that lasts that long.
Take the beautiful country’s F119 engine as an example.
A total of 3,600 hours of program verification testing.
8,500 hours of system verification testing.
4,300 hours of vertical takeoff propulsion system testing.
There are also 19 flight tests.
The WD20 engine only took one-tenth of the time.
Because it is an omnidirectional vector nozzle, when it is installed on the fighter aircraft.
Both the oil circuit and the flight control need to be adjusted.
to this end.
The bureau specially sent a special plane to pick up Mr. Lu.
Time flies.
Soon the test flight stage came.
The location is Sichuan Mansion, Jingtian Airport.
Because it concerns the future of the Air Force.
Four of China’s seven-member cabinet leaders came at once.
A temporary viewing platform was installed next to the runway.
Originally, Minister Yang invited Su Chen to come together on a special plane.
But Su Chen was used to speaking freely in Huazhi Group.
Not used to being restrained.
So he politely declined and came with his own staff.
“This is our great hero.”
When Minister Yang saw Su Chen, he proudly introduced him to the three people next to him.
“I dare not take it.”
Su Chen smiled and stretched out his hand: “Thank you for your hard work, leader.”
Everyone shook hands and exchanged greetings before taking their seats.
The J-20 for test flight was ready to go and stopped at one end of the runway.
The black-painted fighter jet is equipped with two WD20 vector engines.
See leaders ready.
Commander Gao picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: “Test flight!”
This test flight mainly includes three contents:
1. Ultra-short distance takeoff
2. Vertical climb
3. Level flight test on the predetermined heading
This is the easiest item to test the engine performance.
In the J-20 cockpit, the Air Force ace pilot replied neatly: “Yes!”
He immediately contacted the tower and received the instruction:
“No. 724, runway risk level 3, permission to take off.”
The pilot immediately pressed the start button.
Boom boom boom~~~~
followed by a deafening roar.
Orange-red fireworks were sprayed from the rear of the WD20 engine.
Because there is no glass isolation of the test center.
At this moment, the sound and sight seemed particularly shocking.
The four leaders all looked serious and looked serious.
I saw the J-20 on one side of the runway, flying out quickly like an arrow from a string.
The iconic canards are combined with the fully moving tail, showing a slightly raised attitude.
The tail nozzle of the engine also changes direction.
Soon we were gliding for a distance of less than 120 meters.
The J-20 resolutely raised its head and flew directly off the runway.
Look at the white line on the ground.
The ground personnel reported in shock: “Take off at a distance of 120 meters!”
“What?”
Commander Gao suddenly stood up: “Such a short distance.”
After saying this, he realized his gaffe.
Gao Zhan smiled dryly and explained:
“The performance of the WD20 engine is really excellent.”
“The shortest takeoff distance of the beautiful F22 is 140 meters.”
“We lost 20 meters all of a sudden.”
The four leaders nodded in unison. .
Although they tried their best to appear expressionless.
But my heart has already blossomed with joy.
Such a powerful engine.
I didn’t even think about it before!
