A piece of open space in the 501 factory has been leveled and the runway line marked with lime looks a bit like a sports meeting.

Lu Daming and Hu Hu pushed the J-7 fighter realistic aircraft, which was two laps larger than the last F-14, carefully positioned the nose of the aircraft at the runway.

In the conference room on the top floor of the 501 Factory Office Building, not far from this open space, this conference room has been renovated beyond recognition.

Several cables pass through the windows of the conference room and extend down from the roof. It is the connecting line of the whip-shaped antenna on the roof, connected to the middle of the conference room where the cables run across, on the back of the console.

In the center of the conference room, there is a console that completely simulates the cockpit of the J-7 fighter jet. However, the difference is that the original complex instrument of the J-7 has been omitted. In the control interface in front of the console, in addition to a few necessary flight parameter instruments, there is only a fifteen-inch color TV showing the screen.

Hu Wenhai sat in this simulated cockpit with a little crampedly. The pilots actually flew were actually the same. The space on the fighter plane was very precious and there was often no room for movement.

Seeing that the nose of the plane in the monitor had been aimed at the runway, Hu Wenhai picked up a microphone from the console, pressed the switch and shouted: "Scene, live, this is the console, can we enter the takeoff program?"

On the runway, what was a bit surprising was that Hu Wenhai's voice came from the J-7 real-life machine. If it weren't for the difference between the real-life machine and the real-life machine, it would be difficult to tell whether it was a real-life machine if it was far away.

Lu Daming and Hu Hu carefully turned around the realizing machine and the runway twice before confirming: "Console, this is the scene, the runway is ready, you can enter the takeoff program."

As playmates who were originally playing together, Lu Daming and Hu Hu looked at Hu Wenhai and turned the original toy-like model aircraft into the current real-life machine bit by bit.

Compared with the original model aircraft, this real-life machine is now a shotgun replacement. Not to mention, the full 20L of mixed fuel makes the real-life machine two laps larger than the model aircraft, and it also has a lot of weight.

Just think about it, if these fuels are replaced with 16 bottles of 1.25L Coke, how much space will it take?

Not to mention the plane's skin, which was originally a bit rough, this time the factory's master took action personally, and the quality and details were countless times more detailed than the ones knocked out by the two of them with hammers back then.

Now this real-life machine has a length of three meters, a wingspan of more than one meter and five meters, and a total weight of more than one hundred kilograms. If it weren't for Director Wang of 601 Institute to help improve the engine, he might have been able to fly.

Listening to Lu Daming's confirmation from the console, Hu Wenhai started to operate skillfully.

"On the scene, conduct pre-take-off inspection. The power supply of the entire machine is turned on and the ground auxiliary power supply is disconnected."

“Assisted power cut off!”

"Fuel volume is confirmed, power volume is confirmed, flap is confirmed, tail rudder is confirmed, navigation light is turned on, and the entire aircraft is finally self-checked."

"During the inspection, the fuel volume is full, the battery capacity is full, the flap is confirmed, the tail rudder is confirmed, the navigation light is turned on, and the self-test is completed!"

“Engine ignition!”

“The engine is ignited normally!”

...

Hu Wenhai was nervously finished all the takeoff preparations in front of the operating table, and then turned around and looked at Si Guxin standing next to him and nodded slightly.

Si Guxin picked up the phone that he had not hung up before, and said to the microphone with a serious expression: "If you hear the tower air traffic control, please answer. This is the 501 temporary runway. Please confirm the weather conditions."

"The air traffic control, here is the 501 temporary runway. It is ready to perform a test flight of the real-life aircraft, perform a route of 0001, altitude FL32, the weather conditions have been confirmed, and the request to take off."

"The takeoff permit is confirmed and takeoff begins!"

On the open track, behind the real-life fuselage that had been ignited by the engine, an orange-red flame suddenly erupted. The originally stationary real-life machine began to slowly glide on the runway.

On the ground runway, Lu Daming and Hu Hu kept squatting and bent, pointing their fingers in the air, watching the real-life machine lower the flap at the end of the runway and pull the head of the machine. As the landing gear roared away from the ground.

Unlike the original F-14 model aircraft that can take off after a short time of taxiing, the amplified real-life machine must be the same as the real machine. After a long period of gliding, it can only leaps into the sky with its incapable body.

A moment later, a sharp roar that was no different from the real engine sounded over the 501 Factory, and then a gray figure rushed into the sky with lightning speed and stole the bell.

All the employees of Factory 501, and even many citizens near the factory, all looked up at the direction of making sounds. An aircraft that was difficult to distinguish between true and false quickly began to climb at a speed of 180 meters per second.

"Da Ming, what is this posture? I haven't seen the ground crew make this gesture at the airport!" Hu Hu watched the real-life machine rise into the sky, and asked Lu Daming curiously.

"Brother Hai said that this gesture was 'Go away', which means allowing takeoff!"

"Ah? The Air Force has this gesture?"

"How could I know." Lu Daming shrugged.

"But, this gesture is quite handsome, haha!"

Just as Lu Daming and Hu were talking nonsense, just ten seconds later, the J-7 real-life aircraft had changed its posture and entered a level flight state at an altitude of 1,000 meters.

"Collapse the landing gear." Si Guxin stood beside Hu Wenhai according to the test form and began to guide him to conduct real-life machine performance tests one by one.

“Closed the landing gear.”

On the console, the red light indicating the landing gear status was successfully turned off, while the small green lights were lit up.

After all, Hu Wenhai is not a real aircraft pilot. Although he has experience in operating jet aircraft models, he also has a lot of simulating flight software. However, sitting in this cockpit that looks like a real aircraft, he still has some sweat on his palms and a tide under his armpits.

"Do you do well, don't be too nervous." Si Guxin smiled with some relief and patted Hu Wenhai on the shoulder. Today's test is just a routine test flight, and there is no need to fly with any difficult movements. If you really get to that point, there will naturally be elite instructors from the aviation school to do the test.

Hu Wenhai took a deep breath and finally dispelled the tension in his body. According to the scheduled flight plan, a series of flight tests began.

The test of a real-life aircraft not only needs to test its own flight status, but also needs to test the performance difference between it and the J-7 real-life aircraft.

Although the real-life machine has been as similar as the real-life machine as possible, the feeling of flying is definitely different. Hu Wenhai's job is to compare the various flight data of the real-life machine with the real-life machine of the J-7 to deliver the final answer to whether the real-life machine can undertake simulated flight tasks.

Whether the initial goal can be achieved after nearly two months of hard work depends on this stance.

Speaking of which, China at the end of the century was really a bit "hard". Not to mention the United States, Britain, France and Russia, just look at the novels of the Internet YY powerhouses in the early 21st century. You can tell that the boss in the fantasy of the Chinese is actually the Japanese! The equipment level of Kongzi and the 88 Fleet is already an enemy of the alien spacecraft level.

Chinese people use various ways in novels to defeat those enemies who don’t even have to give their eyes to them after 10 or 20 years. What balloons bomb Tokyo, or the golden dragon battery low-altitude slow-speed small plane, the famous iron-blooded novel "Lion Walk", which was once famous after 2010, is definitely going to be deducted for five cents, let alone the pessimistic surrender of "Dragon Curse". This author is really not the CIA official writer?

The reason why this pessimism is permeated in society is that China's military strength in the 1990s is too difficult to show. Needless to say, the navy is poor, but the army is not bad, but the air force has planes and dare not train, so this is not a big deal.

Chinese pilots dare not fly if they have planes, and they dare not do things if they fly. If they have an accident, they have to protect the planes than the guardian. Hu Wenhai also heard about these things back then. To put it bluntly, it is not a poor man. Our pilots do not even have a fraction of the Americans’ flight hours, so they have any combat power wherever they go. It is said that pilots are made of gold, and that is also American pilots. Ours probably only have brass-golded gold.

Hu Wenhai asked himself that he did not have the ability to change China's overall environment and it was impossible to raise the Air Force alone. But relying on his own abilities, it is still possible to make some contribution to our Air Force.

Although the real-life aircraft cannot fully simulate the real-life aircraft, it can at least make the pilot familiar with the equipment and maintain its state, and even test some new tactics and do some dangerous actions that the real aircraft dare not do without life. This is enough.

On the other hand, the economical model of a real machine is many times better than a real machine. If the fighter flies once, not to mention the price of aviation fuel, the amount of fuel consumed alone is calculated based on tons.

Even if the real-life machine can replace one-tenth of the training volume of the real-life machine, the savings will be considerable. Not to mention these pilots, they may also be able to switch to the drone in the future, which invisibly saves the country the time and cost of cultivating talents.

The simulator that jumped into the sky put away the landing gear and completed the entire test process without any fault according to the prescribed route, altitude and speed. Although Hu Wenhai was the first time to fly a simulator, the entire system was designed by him himself. Doing these simple flights is easy to get, and there is no difficulty at all.

After half an hour of test flight, the J-7 real-life aircraft successfully completed all aerial tests. On the TV on the console, the nose of the aircraft was aimed at the runway on the ground and replaced it with the landing gear.

Soon after, people's excitement cheers rang from the office building of the 501 Factory, the temporary runway, and even every corner of the factory.
Chapter completed!
