Chapter 919 The "Crazy Party" Is Targeted
In fact, Zhang Liangping was very curious as to why X was not followed by Y, but jumped directly to Z.
However, after a battle between heaven and man, he finally decided not to ask his leader such a question.
Just execute it and you're done...
In short, Chang Haonan's opinion was unanimously adopted at the team member meeting the next day.
In this way, the four main participants in the "Falcon Z" business jet project have reached a consensus.
Of course, this time the Falcon Z is a serious civilian project, so a cooperation signing ceremony still needs to be held.
in Paris.
The group finally decided to send Comrade Lin Zuoming, deputy general manager, as its representative.
Dassault was obviously in a hurry to start construction, so all processes were speeded up and simplified, and the time was finally set at...
Five days later on September 11th.
When Chang Haonan heard the news at the meeting, he almost couldn't hold his breath.
how to say……
This press conference will probably not attract much attention.
After all, Chang Haonan has tried his best over the years to avoid having too much direct impact on the Middle East.
There is no reason to go too far in that matter.
The reason why he finished most of the energy-consuming things last month was to wait for this wave and see if there would be any opportunities to take advantage of the chaos.
However, there was a sudden wave of intensity from the French in the middle.
Ultra-short laser processing is still in the prototype verification stage after all.
Except for a very few people, including Chang Haonan, they actually do not know how to specifically set processing parameters based on the characteristics of the materials being processed.
In fact, even Chang Haonan can only roughly determine a direction, and then conduct specific processing tests, accumulating data while determining process details.
The M88, as an engine that is basically French, or may have American origin, is naturally different from the turbofan 10 in the use of materials.
In other words, before processing the turbine disk and turbine blades for the M88-3 engine, Chang Haonan still needs to personally be responsible for a considerable part of the work.
Fortunately, Liu Yongquan's work efficiency is not as fast as Chang Haonan's. In addition, the number of prototypes is not large, and Snecma can barely cope with it using electrochemical processing, which finally leaves some free time for Chang Haonan.
However, if we do not look at it from the perspective of hindsight, the first eight months of 2001 were actually quite uneventful.
Therefore, there are only a very small number of people who can predict in advance that something big will happen.
While Chang Haonan was ready to take advantage of the situation, many projects influenced by him were still advancing in different forms.
…
Qin Province, Haojing.
A few hundred meters away from the fence of Hokyung Airport, a group of young people with cameras in their hands were squatting on a slightly elevated slope, always ready to press the shutter.
Through the high-power lens, they could vaguely see a fighter jet that had been painted in gray and was making final preparations for takeoff on the tarmac of the flight test center.
It’s just that the view here is so poor that it’s difficult to take very transparent photos of the interior of the airport.
Therefore, these people have been squatting here for two days, just waiting for the plane to take off——
Due to the continuous expansion of the city and the rapid development of the Internet in the past two years, many melon-eating people in Chengdu have long mentioned that there is a new type of aircraft that has never been seen before and is undergoing intensive test flights.
Not long ago, another witness saw this strange-looking aircraft appear in Haojing.
They came here just to capture a clear photo.
In fact, as someone who has been paying attention to China's aviation industry for a long time, it is not difficult to guess the model of the aircraft in the distance just based on its distinctive design features.
It should be a J-10.
However, unlike the version unveiled at the 50th Anniversary National Day military parade the year before last and at the Paris Air Show last month, this aircraft not only uses a non-adjustable DSI air inlet, but the entire fuselage is no longer the same as before. She became slender and slim, and became much richer.
In particular, the iconic "wasp waist" on the old model has been replaced by a more rounded design.
Obviously, this is an improved model based on the J-10, and it still has most of the characteristics of the J-10.
But the improvement is really huge.
It's a bit similar to the radical change from F18C/D to F18E/F, or from F16 to F2.
All this seems to mean that the air superiority and even air interception functions originally carried by the J-10 are weakening and are developing in a more versatile direction.
"From this angle... the fuselage section looks a bit like EF2000?"
One of them took his eyes away from behind the binoculars and asked his companion who was preparing to operate the camera next to him:
"Anyway, I'm much fatter than before..."
Seeing that the plane had no intention of taking off, the latter also turned around and retorted in a low voice:
"How can this be called fat?"
"It's obviously the feeling that a girl who was originally sixteen or seventeen years old has developed into her twenties. This is called mature beauty. You are too young to understand this feeling..."
This person is obviously an experienced driver, and this description was unanimously approved by his companions.
As senior undercover gang members, their concealment equipment and level are comparable to professional scouts.
Unless it's close to your face, it's hard to notice anything strange in the grass.
This is also the biggest reliance for them to take photos secretly.
In the state of the enemy being in the dark and us being in the light, the busy staff inside the wall obviously had no way of knowing that they had been included in the viewfinder...
At this time, they were busy mounting test equipment on the J-10 numbered 1007.
A cylindrical pod with the same color as the fuselage.
Around the aircraft, there were many technicians from the Luoyi 613 Electro-Optical Equipment Research Institute, who were making the final adjustments to the pod.
There is no doubt that this is the good stuff that Chang Haonan got from Thales Group through the M88 engine project.
Damocles pod.
According to the contract, China is to introduce a full set of technology to localize this pod.
However, the French are not fools. They know the principle of not releasing the eagle before seeing the rabbit. At this time, the M88-3 is still under development, and the M88-4 is even more unfinished. It is obviously impossible for them to shake out all their assets so quickly.
But in order to express their sincerity, they still asked Thales to specially produce several pod hardware with open data buses, so that China can install the pods on its own aircraft.
Naturally, this task was handed over to Luoyi 613 Institute, which is affiliated to the Aviation Power Group.
This is how today's test came about.
The No. 1007 carrier aircraft is the first prototype of the two-seat J-10AS -
The single-seat J-10A has entered the final stage before small-scale production, and it is really too late to do the test.
Moreover, this kind of test task depends on the pod, so it is more appropriate to hand it over to an aircraft with two pilots.
For the Flight Test Institute, the work of serving the J-10A is already a piece of cake.
Unlike the J-11, which is a small-step fast run with different models for each model, the technical status of the single-seat and double-seat models of the J-10 is almost completely the same, and it is equipped with a lower-mounted casing engine that does not need to climb up and down during maintenance, which is very user-friendly for ground crews.
Ten minutes later, the technicians of the 613th Institute completed the final inspection and debugging of the pod, and evacuated from the aircraft with the ground crew.
As one of the advantages of being "wide and fat", the J-10A has sufficient space to install an auxiliary power system (APU) in its fuselage, so not every startup requires the assistance of a power supply vehicle and an air source vehicle.
In the cabin, the pilot Ning Songtao, who was in the front seat, started the self-starting process of the aircraft according to the manual.
As the APU exhaust hatch on the back of the aircraft opened, a weak flame spewed out from it, and the unique whistling sound of the turbofan engine quickly went from weak to strong, reaching the ears of everyone on the scene.
After the engine started working, the electrical system of the No. 1007 aircraft started quickly and completed the self-check process in a very short time.
In the past, these steps took nearly half an hour to be carried out step by step with the assistance of ground crew.
Now it only takes a few minutes.
Ning Songtao adjusted the engine speed to slow speed and then released the brake.
The aircraft then began to move slowly forward on the apron.
The fly-by-wire flight control system cooperates with the FADEC system to make this series of actions as smooth as flowing water, with almost no lag.
During the taxiing to the take-off position, Han Shuming, who was in the back seat, finally said goodbye to the fate of ballast and began to lower his head to adjust the probe angle of the "Shen Ying-1" (the name of the Chinese version of Damocles) pod.
Although the main function of the Shen Ying 1 pod is to provide target guidance for laser-guided bombs or missiles, the design of the Damocles pod itself determines that it actually has air defense capabilities.
However, the pod hanging under the fuselage is inherently inferior to the EOTS located at the nose in terms of air detection vision, so this function is rarely used.
But after all, the plane is taking off, and Han Shuming can't stare at the runway under his buttocks, so he has to look directly in front of the plane.
"The French thing is really good..."
He whispered to himself.
Even if the image is enlarged several times, and the carrier aircraft is still accelerating on the slightly bumpy runway, the two-axis stabilizer of the pod still maintains the picture in a fairly stable state.
Han Shuming tried to tap the screen and set a signal tower far in front of the left side of the runway as the target.
The image recognition function quickly distinguished the target from the background and automatically controlled the pod probe to lock on the signal tower.
It did not even unlock after the aircraft took off and climbed.
In fact, optoelectronic equipment in the middle and late Cold War, such as the MiG-27K's Seagull-23, already had this function.
But for Chinese pilots who had almost never come into contact with airborne optoelectronic aiming equipment in this era, it was definitely a relatively new thing.
What's more, Damocles also supports infrared and visible light signals.
Thinking that he hadn't reached the test airspace anyway, Han Shuming pressed the button corresponding to "infrared" next to the multi-function display with a try-it mentality, and adjusted the field of view to the thermal imaging channel.
By the way, the signal tower was unlocked.
Just at this time, Ning Songtao in front of him also gradually leveled the plane and entered the shallow climb stage.
This leveling made Han Shuming accidentally discover something interesting.
In the field of view of the multi-function display, several white dots appeared.
And that should be a hillside outside the flight test institute...
Out of curiosity, he directly increased the image magnification of the pod to the maximum.
Then, he saw a few things that looked a bit like people...
"Tower, this is aircraft 1007."
Han Shuming reported directly to the radio:
"About 140 degrees from the airport, 800 meters away, it seems that a group of people are secretly filming us?"
