Chapter 592 Parade Air Echelon (4K)

The way the two communicated like old acquaintances directly confused everyone around them, from the dean of the flight academy to Zhang Jiujiang.

The specific circumstances of the bat-hunting operation and embankment-building operation are not completely disclosed even within the military.

Especially the latter, there are almost only some rumors.

Although many people speculate that Zheng Liangqun's two-level promotion may be related to this, the relevant details are destined to be unknown.

Not everyone even understands the fact that a "Wanglang 97" fleet wants to come to provoke.

Therefore, no one knows how these two seemingly unrelated people, regardless of age or position, met.

Except for Zhu Yadan who was following Chang Haonan.

She was already used to it.

Zhu Yadan had long discovered that although he was a young leader, he almost always had acquaintances wherever he went, and they all had good relationships...

In short, no matter what, this dinner must be put away first.

"Are you Comrade Chang Haonan?"

As the pleasantries between the two people came to an end, another major general next to Zheng Liangqun also had the opportunity to speak:

"I am the dean of the Air Force Flight Academy, Qi Litong. I have admired your name for a long time."

When they first met, Zheng Liangqun called out Chang Haonan's full name, but stopped there and did not introduce any more details related to Chang Haonan.

Given Qi Litong's position, he may not actually know more than Zhang Jiujiang.

The most important thing is that everyone can see that the relationship between Chang Haonan and Zheng Liangqun is very good.

Although the latter's military rank and rank are the same as Qi Lingtong's, similar to the local situation, the value of their positions and the development prospects behind them are very different.

Otherwise, today wouldn’t be a “leadership inspection.”

"Hello, Dean Qi."

Chang Haonan had never heard of this person, and he didn't expect him to be the leader of the school just now.

But the things on the scene are obviously indispensable:

"It's an honor to meet you."

Qi Litong is also quite experienced in facing this situation.

In just a few minutes, he had discovered that Chang Haonan didn't seem to know much about Zheng Liangqun's current situation.

Otherwise, he would not use such a strange title as General Zheng.

Of course, this is not surprising.

After all, Chang Haonan doesn't look like a member of the military, and it is a unique situation to jump two levels in a year.

The efficiency of information transmission in this year was relatively slow. It is possible that the order to promote Zheng Liangqun from deputy division to deputy division was issued before the news spread.

Therefore, after briefly introducing himself, Qi Li fairy tale changed the subject and said:

"Chief of Staff Zheng, on behalf of the Shengjing Military Region, came to our school to inspect the training of student pilots. He is about to go up to have a small meeting. Mr. Chang, please take a look..."

This sentence sounds like it has no beginning and no end, and it seems to be a bit overstepping its authority.

But it's actually very useful.

Because it clearly pointed out to Chang Haonan Zheng Liangqun's current position and the purpose of his trip.

If the person concerned talks about it himself, it would be self-promoting on the one hand, and it would be more embarrassing on the other hand.

But after Qi Litong relayed it, the transition was very smooth.

Decent, natural, and without any pretentious attitude.

But the effect is very good.

Chang Haonan naturally understands the underlying meaning.

This means that Zheng Liangqun has now been promoted to deputy chief of staff of the Air Force of the Shengjing Military Region.

And the second half of the unfinished sentence was obviously left for Zheng Liangqun to pick up.

"Comrade Haonan, if you have time, come along. The topic to be discussed today happens to be related to the equipment situation. It would be better to have an expert in the aviation field here."

The first time the two of them met was at the J-8C delivery ceremony more than a year ago.

At that time, Chang Haonan was just a young technician who played an important role in the August 3rd Project.

As the leader of the first batch of troops to receive the J-8C model, Zheng Liangqun often went to the 601 Institute and the 112 Factory, so he knew a lot about Chang Haonan's later achievements.

But he is not from the Science and Technology Commission system.

Therefore, the name has not been changed.

…

Later, in the conference room on the top floor.

Chang Haonan was sitting at one of the two main seats at the conference table, lamenting that he could be pulled over for a meeting during his vacation, while listening to Zheng Liangqun's opening remarks next to him.

When he was first reborn, he might not even be able to get a seat next to the table in a meeting like this.

When I was twenty that year, there was a meeting in the team, and I sat there like a gangster...

When he first sat next to Yang Fenghata at a seminar on the Eighth-Three Project, he was even excited about it for a while.

But now, he has long lost his excitement about it.

If Zheng Liangqun hadn't invited him to this meeting today, he wouldn't have even wanted to come.

After all, you can imagine how boring this kind of summary meeting after a leadership inspection is...

However, just when Chang Haonan was ready to spend the next boring thirty minutes to an hour, Zheng Liangqun's first words hit him directly in the face:

"Comrades, the purpose of my coming to the flight academy this time is actually to confirm the arrangements for the review of the 9910 project air formation."

"I go?"

Chang Haonan felt excited in his heart and sat upright immediately.

If you talk about this, then I won't be sleepy.

The leaders of the flight academy sitting on both sides of the long conference table had a greater reaction than Chang Haonan.

Obviously, they didn't know about this before and just regarded it as a normal inspection by their superiors.

And this is obviously the reason why Zheng Liangqun only expressed his intention now:

"Thanks to the hard work of comrades in the military industry system, our Air Force is modernizing at an unprecedented speed."

"However, the modernization of the military is not only the modernization of equipment, but also the modernization of personnel and thinking. For our Air Force, flight students and flight instructors are the main force in personnel modernization and the core of the aviation force. future."

"Therefore, Commander Li Liangxin, the commander-in-chief of the troops under review, and of course me, hope that the last fixed-wing formation can be prioritized as a training aircraft echelon. If after inspection, it is found that the conditions are not sufficient, an attack aircraft echelon will be used as a backup. "

For everyone in the flight academy, they are a little scared, but they are no longer nervous——

Since Zheng Liangqun can say this, it means that they should have passed the test.

The attack aircraft echelon is undoubtedly the top 5. This model has already participated in the 1984 military parade. By the eve of the millennium, it was already considered a backward model no matter how much modifications were made. If it was not forced, it would not be used in another military parade. .

Sure enough, after a brief pause, Zheng Liangqun continued:

"Based on what I saw this past day, I think the flight academy has the conditions to participate in the military parade!"

After a brief silence, warm applause erupted from the small conference room.

This is definitely a huge surprise.

Participating in the National Day military parade is a matter of supreme honor for any soldier, including Zheng Liangqun, who has already achieved military exploits.

What's more, the flight academy is generally considered a "retirement unit".

"Then there are two things that need to be determined next."

When the applause gradually subsided, Zheng Liangqun raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, and then continued:

"First, the specific reference crews are determined, including five selected crews and one backup crew. Each crew needs to have a student pilot and a flight instructor. Of course, the aircraft must still be controlled by the instructor."

"Second, I know that the aircraft models here at the aviation school are relatively complex, so I need to confirm the reference aircraft model additionally."

When it came to selecting people at the beginning, the people below didn't have much reaction.

There are many instructors in the flight academy, but everyone knows who has the best skills.

The military parade is something that must be foolproof. No one dares to play tricks on it, just let your ability speak for itself.

Of course, students are much more "free" in their choices, but that will be discussed later.

The second one, choosing a plane, made Qi Litong and others frown——

The aviation school currently has five flagship aircraft models.

No. 6, who entered the military service in 1962.

JJ-5, which entered service in 1966.

Yunjiao 5, served in 1962.

HJ-5, the aircraft itself was put into service in 1968, but the prototype is the IL-28 which was put into service in 1950.

The JJ-7, which entered service in 1987, is considered a "cutting-edge" model, but both in terms of flight performance and cockpit environment, it is really not suitable for flying large formations at low altitudes and low speeds.

After thinking hard to no avail, everyone suddenly remembered that Zheng Liangqun seemed to have brought in a foreign aid for today's meeting...

As a result, all eyes turned to Chang Haonan, who was sitting attentively eating melon.

"?"

The latter's smile froze on his face.

Why did the cue suddenly come to me?

"Mr. Chang, you should know more about the situation in the aviation industry. I wonder if the JJ-9 being developed by your aviation industry has the conditions to participate in the 9910 project?"

Zheng Liangqun suddenly asked.

Originally, this matter should be connected between the flight academy and Guizhou Airlines after the meeting, but the communication from the northeast to the southwest is actually a bit complicated these days, so he directly brought Chang Haonan to the meeting.

Moreover, it is expected that the latter will definitely be interested in the military parade.

Chang Haonan knew that the "conditional" mentioned by the other party did not simply refer to whether he could serve before October 1999.

It’s more about asking whether the model is mature and reliable——

Based on past experience, a model that has been equipped with troops may not be reliable.

Conversely, models that have not yet been finalized and are still in the prototype stage are not necessarily unreliable.

There are not only technical factors, but also the confidence of users, that is, the instructors and students of the flight academy, in the new model.

This is especially important for flying formations.

As a person from the military industry system, Chang Haonan is well suited to give this confidence.

So after thinking for a while, he answered:

"JJ-9 is actually a product spawned by the No. 10 Project technology verification project, and its degree of completion is inherently high."

“I personally participated in the overall aerodynamic design of this aircraft. Based on the J-7, the rear cockpit was raised, the large delta wing was replaced with a double delta wing with large rims, and the air inlet was also modified. The DSI air inlet arranged on both ribs has been specially optimized for subsonic flight conditions, and the controllable angle of attack and anti-stall spin capabilities have been qualitatively improved."

"The power of the aircraft directly uses the mature turbojet 14B, which is also the power of the J-8C, J-7F and Persian F4EC. As for the performance of this engine, I think Chief Zheng should have a very intuitive experience. "

Chang Haonan looked at Zheng Liangqun and said with a slightly joking tone.

A happy atmosphere suddenly filled the conference room.

Compared with the embankment operation, the general situation of the bat hunting operation is still widely circulated within the army.

After all, Zheng Liangqun also gave more than a dozen reports to various aviation units last year on how to use radar-guided missiles for beyond-visual-range interception.

How much of it will involve content about that battle.

Therefore, when Chang Haonan mentioned the J-8C, although this was a new model that had only been in service for a year and a half, everyone's confidence was still built.

After relaxing a little, Chang Haonan continued to add:

"In addition, if you are worried that the adaptation period after the replacement is too short, the academy can choose to install a special formation flight rangefinder on the purchased J-9."

"This device can give the distance of up to four aircraft above, below, left, and right in the front hemisphere, accurate to centimeters. It is very practical for large-density formations. It was originally designed for the August 1st Performance Team, but if there is demand, any user can choose .”

"And one good thing is that because of its small size, it doesn't take up too much space like a radar. In other words, even if this rangefinder is installed, you can still choose the nose strips on the side of the radome to put the aircraft's Increasing the controllable angle of attack to more than 90° is almost equivalent to not entering a high angle of attack stall."

"90 degrees?"

This number almost made Qi Litong choke on his own saliva.

Old aircraft like the JJ-5 may not even have a controllable angle of attack of 19°, even the JJ-7 has a controllable angle of attack of just over 20°.

He couldn't even imagine the concept of 90° controllability.

"Hmm... I'll give it a conservative estimate."

Chang Haonan said and touched his chin:

"The test pilots of Guizhou Airlines actually pulled it to a larger angle, but under normal use, there is no need to go to such an extreme, 90° is enough."

A few words have already made everyone in the flight academy have full expectations for this new model that they have not yet seen.

And once the exaggerated performance mentioned by Chang Haonan is confirmed, this expectation will turn into trust in the aircraft.

"Then...in that case, we will tentatively plan to use advanced trainer aircraft to form the formation."

Zheng Liangqun said seriously:

"During this period, you will use the JJ-7 for adaptive training first. When I go back, I will report to the superiors and include a batch of six J-Jiao-9 in the special budget of the 9910 project and deliver them as soon as possible!"

His answer was naturally a neat and excited voice:

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
