- Chapter 640 - The Dark Sword 1 made its first successful flight, a moment that went down in history
“Do you know that the international practice is that the amount of new technology adopted by a newly designed aircraft generally does not exceed 20%?”
“And there is a statistical law that shows that when the amount of new technology adopted by a newly designed aircraft exceeds 40%, the success rate of this aircraft is only 50%, or even less than 50%.”
“And the new technology application rate of the Dark Sword No. 1 exceeds 75%, which means that the probability of this reconnaissance aircraft having an accident exceeds 80%.”
“Aren’t you afraid of sacrifice?”
Su Dingping did not answer immediately, but asked directly.
He needs to fully let the other party understand that the Dark Sword No. 1 is a brand-new fighter, which Xie Zhenyu has never flown before, and it is also the first high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft pioneered by the Longxia tribe. The risks contained in it are extremely great.
“Report to the chief, I am willing to dedicate myself to the cause of the Air Force!”
Xie Zhenyu answered in a sonorous and powerful voice without any hesitation.
The resolute eyes reveal determination and resoluteness. It is precisely this spirit of sacrifice that has led to the rise and take-off of the military industry of the Longxia tribe under the blockade and suppression.
Any rise requires a price. Revolution is not a dinner party. It requires countless heroes to go forward and move forward bravely!
“Very good, I approve.”
Su Dingping answered very straightforwardly, “Next, I will give you one-on-one all-round guidance. If you have any questions, you can ask me.”
“Even if it is the most subtle, you can ask me. I will help you make the Dark Sword No. 1 more perfect.”
Xie Zhenyu hurriedly said: “Yes, chief.”
He felt extremely honored to be able to get personal guidance from Chief Engineer Su and teach him how to fly the Dark Sword No. 1 high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.
Of course, he felt more confident.
Although what he got were some cold numbers and various parameters, the significance of Su Dingping’s personal participation was completely different.
Just like when each new warship was launched for the first sea trial, Su Dingping would personally board the ship as the commander and conduct various tests.
For the next two days, Su Dingping trained Xie Zhenyu to help him thoroughly master the driving of the Dark Sword No. 1.
One day was left for Xie Zhenyu to explore on his own, while Su Dingping watched from the side, listened attentively to the various opinions raised by the other party, and recorded them one by one.
Any fighter plane is the result of the joint participation of the chief engineer and the test pilot, and the creation of the Dark Sword No. 1 is naturally no exception.
It is such an ace pilot, a real old pilot, who can put forward so many valuable opinions.
Of course, he was familiar with the Dark Sword No. 1 very quickly, and it took only half a day to master the various instrument panel functions and operating skills.
It must be said that an ace pilot is an ace pilot, just different, and brought too much useful information to Su Dingping, and it can be used in the future fighter development.
Early in the morning of the third day, Xie Zhenyu changed into the newly developed high-altitude pressure-resistant suit, holding a fully enclosed helmet in his hand, and stood in front of Su Dingping.
“Report to the chief, I am ready.”
“Request to board the plane for the first test flight mission.”
Xie Zhenyu asked very sonorously, with a sharp look and full of energy.
“Board the plane.”
Su Dingping patted Xie Zhenyu on the shoulder and gave the order.
“Yes!”
Then, with the help of the ground crew, Xie Zhenyu boarded the cockpit of Dark Sword No. 1 and closed the glass door.
Su Dingping did not stay, but took advantage of this time to turn around and come to the command console.
After glancing at the various parameters and the flight climate, Su Dingping put on the headset and picked up the microphone and said, “Xie Zhenyu, how do you feel? Are you ready?”
“Report to the commander, I feel good.”
“I’m ready and can take off at any time.”
Xie Zhenyu’s voice came from the headset, and the answer was very straightforward, which made Su Dingping feel a lot more relieved.
“Very good, you can warm up the car now.”
After Su Dingping pondered for a moment, he gave the order, “Xie Zhenyu, take off on time in five minutes.”
“Yes, commander.”
After Xie Zhenyu checked the various instrument panels and the operating levers, he turned on the engine.
“Buzz!”
Accompanied by a huge roar, the two engines roared and spurted out streams of hot air.
The next step was to check the specific conditions of the aircraft’s control rudder, flight tail and other moving parts, all of which were completed with the cooperation of the ground crew.
After the inspection, the ground crew gave Xie Zhenyu in the cabin a thumbs up and informed him of the results.
“Report to the commander, everything has been checked.”
“Request to taxi out.”
Xie Zhenyu reported directly to the communicator.
“Slip out.”
After receiving this order, Xie Zhenyu immediately operated the Dark Sword No. 1 reconnaissance aircraft to slowly slide out of the huge hangar and taxied along the guide line towards the start of the runway.
Since the taxiing and other ground projects of the Dark Sword No. 1 have been tested in advance, today’s first flight is crucial.
All the test participants and scientific researchers in the base stared at the taxiing Dark Sword No. 1 with their eyes wide open, and even their breathing was lowered a lot.
This is the first test flight of the Dark Sword No. 1, and its significance is naturally self-evident.
Once successful, it means that the Longxia Air Force will have its own high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, thus filling the gap in this field in one fell swoop.
Having a high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft of its own is of great significance to Longxia’s national defense construction!
Of course, once you encounter a loss, the cost will be very huge. Not only will the opportunity be ruined, but people will die, it will also destroy the self-confidence in entering this field!
The loss of reconnaissance aircraft may be able to continue to be built, but the loss of top ace pilots is difficult to make up for. You must know how costly and time-consuming it is to train such a top pilot.
“Mr. Su, do we need to remind Xie Zhenyu again?”
Professor Zhang on the side asked with a solemn expression. His whole heart was now in suspense, and his eyes never left the relevant data on the computer display for a moment.
The other professors and experts were also very nervous at the moment, but they didn’t have time to pay attention to this. Instead, they stared nervously at the data of various testing equipment.
“No need, we have to believe him.”
“Of course, we also have to believe in the Dark Sword No. 1 we developed. Now it is a sword soaring into the sky.”
Su Dingping said without looking back. As the chief designer, he was somewhat confident in the Dark Sword One. At least he had a good idea of this fighter.
“Yes, Mr. Su.”
Professor Zhang nodded and continued to stare at the relevant data changes.
The other professors and experts also felt relieved, as if they had a backbone.
At this time, everything about Dark Sword One was in very good condition, and all parameters were fluctuating within the normal range, without any abnormalities.
Finally, Dark Sword No. 1 stopped steadily at the starting point of the airport runway. From a distance, it looked like an eagle waiting for the flight order to be issued. Its eyes were already staring at the blue sky, wanting to soar into the sky!
At this moment, apart from the surging power output of the engine, there was no other sound in the entire base. Even the wind was gentle, as if everything was creating the best conditions for the test flight.
“Report to the commander, Xie Zhenyu requested to take off.”
At this time, Xie Zhenyu’s voice came from Su Dingping’s headphones, confident and full.
“take off!”
Su Dingping glanced at the big screen in front of him and gave the order directly.
As the order was issued, everyone present subconsciously held their breath and cast their sights on the dark Dark Sword One at the starting point of the airport runway.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
“Buzz!”
The roar of the engine is getting louder and the power output is getting stronger. It is ready to take off.
Following the conductor’s gesture, Dark Sword No. 1 was like a wild horse running wildly towards the runway, getting faster and faster. It didn’t take long for it to reach the speed required for takeoff.
The front wheel was raised, and the nose of the aircraft continued to rush forward towards the blue sky.
Only two seconds passed, and the rear wheels also left the ground. Dark Sword One finally broke away from the shackles of the ground and rushed into the blue sky, continuing to climb!
“Reporting to the leader, Dark Sword No. 1 was successfully launched!”
Xie Zhenyu’s voice came from the headphones, very calm and confident.
The values displayed on the instrument panel in the cockpit are very stable and in very good condition, just like an old fighter plane that has taken off many times.
At this moment, he finally understood why Su Dingping was so calm and confident about the quality of this fighter plane, ensuring that there would be no problems.
When Dark Sword One completely lifted off the ground, there was a warm round of applause.
All the test participants were very happy, because this was a good start for the fighter jet test flight, and they all felt that the initial efforts were worth it!
“Very well, continue.”
Su Dingping said calmly to the microphone.
Being able to see the first high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft developed by himself soaring into the sky, it would be false to say that he was not excited, but he still maintained a calm attitude and quietly paid attention to the changes in various experimental data.
“Report, Dark Sword One has climbed to 7km! The speed is Mach 0.6!”
“Report, Dark Sword One has climbed to 14km! The speed is Mach 0.8!”
“Report, all parameters of Dark Sword One are normal and in good condition…”
The professors are constantly reporting on the latest situation. They have judged the specific status of Dark Sword One through various parameters displayed on the computer screen in front of them.
In order to test the aerial conditions of Dark Sword One, numerous testing equipment were installed inside the fighter aircraft. Although the weight was increased, it did not affect its flight performance.
“Reporting to the chief, everything is normal on Dark Sword One. Please request to test related flight projects.”
In the cockpit of Dark Sword No. 1, Xie Zhenyu carefully controlled the reconnaissance aircraft to fly quickly and level out from the climbing state.
At this time, it is necessary to test a series of flight postures and collect various experimental data.
In any case, it was his first time to operate this high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. Its performance was different from all the fighter jets he had flown before. There was a huge difference, so naturally he was still a little nervous.
But his rich flying experience and good psychological quality made him not so afraid, and his operations were naturally orderly.
At this time, the altitude of Dark Sword One was 22km, which had exceeded the maximum ceiling of most fighter jets. The air here had become thinner, so he naturally put on his mask and activated the life support system.
The J-10 that had flown before could not reach this height at all. In other words, it was his first time to fly to this height, so the challenge was still quite big.
But despite undergoing rigorous training, he still remembered to carry out the test items.
“Okay, follow the plan.”
Su Dingping made a decision immediately. The Dark Sword One was in very stable condition at the moment and was very suitable for various test projects. Naturally, such an excellent opportunity could not be missed.
The professors immediately began to carry out various test subjects, forcing the ultimate flight performance of Dark Sword One over and over again!
These test flight subjects are quite challenging even for Xie Zhenyu, an ace pilot.
But after accepting the order, he still participated in the verification of the test flight subjects, hovering on the verge of death every time, but there were always near misses.
After spending a certain amount of time testing all the flight test subjects, Su Dingping checked the time and asked Xie Zhenyu to return.
The subjects of the morning test flight have been completed. It is time for Xie Zhenyu to come back and have a meal. After the lunch break, he can proceed to the next stage of test flight.
After the plane landed, as soon as it entered the hangar, members of the relevant expert team rushed up to conduct all-round tests on Dark Sword One.
The medical team conducted a full-body examination on Xie Zhenyu to ensure that all his physical indicators were in line with the state before the test flight.
“In the afternoon we will have a test flight at a very high altitude, which is quite a challenge.”
Su Dingping came to Xie Zhenyu in person, stared at him with burning eyes and asked.
“Reporting to the chief, I have no problem.”
Xie Zhenyu was very excited, “Dark Sword One has very good performance and is a very advanced high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. All technical indicators are not behind the international mainstream at all, and are even more advanced than the reconnaissance aircraft of the White Bear Tribe.”
“That’s ridiculous. It’s good if you have this confidence.”
Su Dingping nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with this.
The subjects of the test flight in the afternoon were relatively simple. They did not require the pilot to spend too much energy. They simply crossed the previous 22km and flew directly towards the extreme altitude.
23km! 24km!
The speed did not slow down at all, but continued to climb higher into the sky.
“Report, reached 24km altitude!”
Xie Zhenyu’s voice came from the communicator, and Su Dingping asked directly with confidence: “Xie Zhenyu, how do you feel?”
“Reporting to the commander, the reconnaissance plane is in good condition. I have no problem.” Xie Zhenyu answered simply.
“Okay, then keep climbing.”
Su Dingping was naturally relieved and immediately gave the order.
