Chapter 1: Spin Recovery

"032, parachute, 032, parachute immediately!" The base commander's voice kept coming from the headset.

Maybe it was because the sound in the headphones was too loud, or maybe it was the vibration of the plane that played a role. In any case, Lei Tian, ​​who had just been almost fainted by the 9G overload, now saw things clearly again.

However, the dashboard in front of him was different from the fighter plane he had just piloted!

Originally, Lei Tian was a test pilot at the Shenyang Aircraft Industrial Group, an old industrial base in China and the eldest son of the Republic. All the newly manufactured J-11 fighter jets in the company needed to be tested before they could be delivered to the troops.

Today, when he was flying, he skillfully performed various maneuvers to test the performance of the aircraft. However, when he was doing a somersault, an accident occurred. The anti-gravity suit on his body was not pressurized as usual. As a result, Lei Tian, ​​who could only withstand 5G overload at most with his flesh and blood body, fainted. Ordinary pilots can only withstand 4G overloads at most. Those who can withstand 5G are test pilots. As for those who can withstand 6G, they can be selected as astronauts. Fighter planes can withstand 8 or 9 overloads. The rest of the overloads are all offset by the pressurization of the anti-g suit.

Lei Tian remembered what happened just now, but now, everything seemed to have changed.

The J-11 is a domestically produced model developed by Shenfei based on the digestion and absorption of the Su-27. The display device inside has long been replaced with an LCD screen that can display a variety of information. And now, the dashboard in front of me is full of instruments, with only a round cathode ray tube display screen, which seems to be a radar screen?

The dashboard is blue, with a unique metallic cool feeling, and all the markings on it are in a special kind of letters, which seems to be Russian?

The only time the Su-27 was first introduced was when Russian was written on it?

His body was still pressed tightly against the seat by the overload. Lei Tian felt a constant pressure on his legs, pressing the blood back in his lower body to prevent black vision. Could it be that the anti-gravity suit is working normally again?

wrong! This is a high-altitude anti-gravity suit! Lei Tian felt that his field of vision was narrow. There was no goggles like the common helmet in front of him, nor was there an oxygen mask. His entire head was in a sealed helmet, and he could only see the outside through the front lens.

Outside the cockpit, the field of vision is also quite narrow. The front windshield is a three-piece type, and there is no rear view at all. This is an authentic second-generation aircraft!

"Andre, jump out!" A roaring voice came from the headset again: "Five hundred meters higher!"

Skydiving soon? Andre? Are you Andre? In an instant, countless memories flooded into Lei Tian's mind.

Andrei Vladimirvich Tolstoy was born in Kiev. His father was an engineer at a power station and his mother was a housewife. Andrei loved flying since he was a child. He later signed up for the Soviet Aviation Force and was selected all the way. Now, he is a MiG-25 pilot!

MiG-25, a legendary fighter. Now, both the Soviet Air Force and the Air Defense Force are proud to be able to fly the MiG-25, which is the most advanced fighter in the Soviet Union!

Damn, it’s only 76 years! Yes, 1976! I have traveled through time!

"There are still two hundred meters. If you don't parachute, you'll be turned into caviar in the Caspian Sea!" The voice on the radio became even more anxious.

parachute? Lei Tian, ​​no, Andre suddenly woke up and realized that his plane was entering a terrible stall spin!

In order to have good performance in the thin air at high altitudes, the MiG-25 is a high-altitude, high-speed fighter jet with an exceptionally tall vertical tail. Generally speaking, it is not easy for it to enter a stall spin. However, this also means that once it enters a stall spin, it is not easy to recover from it!

This time, Andre and the lead two-plane formation were conducting flight training in the southern airspace of the base. At an altitude of 10,000 meters, when Andre was making a vertical climb and then a dive, he pulled the stick too hard and, as a result, fell down!

In order to ensure the aerodynamic efficiency of the control surface in the thin air at high altitudes, the vertical tail of the MiG-25 is particularly tall. However, at low altitudes, there will be problems with excessive aerodynamic torque, which may even lead to flight accidents! If there were a fly-by-wire operating system, this could be achieved by setting the same amount of rods in the computer. Unfortunately, this is still a delusion in this era.

The fuselage was spinning and falling vertically. Due to the lag of the anti-gravity suit, Andrei's eyes went dark in an instant. Then he slowly woke up and found that he had traveled through time!

parachute? The earth was approaching rapidly, and the altimeter on the dashboard in front of him was spinning rapidly. Andre knew that he absolutely could not parachute at this time!

Damn, I missed the best opportunity to skydive! This is an old Soviet aircraft, not the later Su-27, which uses the star-like K-36 ejection seat. The MiG-25 is still equipped with the KM-1 ejection seat that has been used on the MiG-21 for more than ten years. The ejection envelope is limited, and the altitude is too low now. If you eject, you will be smashed into a meat patty!

Change it out, change it out! Andre is an experienced pilot. In another world, he has recovered from stall spins more than twenty times. Although this world is the first time he has encountered one, he has already known how to recover from a MiG-25's spin while learning.

Stretching out his hand, Andre quickly pushed the steering stick in the opposite direction of the tailspin, then pushed the rudder in the opposite direction of the tailspin. No, it was not enough, the altitude was too low!

Lower the landing gear and deploy the parachute!

Andrei freed his left hand and quickly flipped a few switches. The Soviet Union's ergonomics was very poor. To place these things, one had to flip five switches!

Andre was no longer able to complain, and when he opened it quickly, a white snowflake emerged from the tail.

The aircraft is only equipped with a spin parachute when it is being tested. Even if the pilot cannot correct it, as long as the spin parachute is released, the spin parachute will be able to help the aircraft return to normal. But now, the MiG-25 can only temporarily use the deceleration parachute to serve as the spin parachute.

At the same time, lowering the landing gear is also to increase resistance.

The earth was approaching rapidly and the altimeter was spinning rapidly. After doing these actions, the next thing Andre could do was to silently pray in his heart, Marx bless you!

Almost before touching the ground, the fighter plane leveled off! A huge steel fighter plane, a tamed beast!

"Sokolovka, 032 has been leveled." Andrei said on the radio: "Request to continue training."

"031, 032, return immediately." The voice from the base came through the headset.

A flight accident almost happened just now, and the base terminated the plan to continue training. We need to conduct an accident analysis after returning!
