Chapter 518 Oxygen system failure

As the altitude decreased, Lei Qiang felt the dizziness began to ease, and he leveled the plane. At this time, it was only 500 meters above the ground.

"Report 004, oxygen system failure." Lei Qiang then reported to the ground. At the same time, he had already seen the runway of the test flight hospital in front of him.

Although everyone knows that Cheng Fei is developing a new fighter jet, since the project has been kept confidential, the people present only know that there is such an aircraft, but they do not know the specific appearance of the aircraft.

Now, when everyone looked at this new fighter with canard layout, they were lit up. The appearance was grand and beautiful. The J-6 and J-7, even the J-8, was already very old-fashioned compared to this aircraft.

Some people also know that many of the aircraft under development in Western Europe at this time adopted a duck-style layout. Unexpectedly, they actually followed the trend and developed such an advanced fighter!

The air battle just now almost completely exploded with F-16. Although there seemed to be some accident before landing, it still landed successfully. As soon as it slid onto the runway, a large group of people surrounded it.

Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Minister of Defense, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, a large number of people, watching Lei Qiang walk down the gangway, he can see that his forehead is covered with sweat, just like a sauna.

Mr. Song was behind, looking at Lei Qiang. He knew that when Lei Qiang was just returning, the fighter plane had a malfunction. After all, the aircraft was still under development, which would expose many design problems and then need to be improved.

Historically, during the test flight of the No. 10 aircraft, a total of more than 1,400 problems were solved. Now, the test flight is very tense, and forcibly pulling it over to engage in confrontation is also a big risk. For the future of the No. 10 aircraft, this is a risk they must take.

Now, seeing Lei Qiang become stronger, Mr. Song also felt relieved. The oxygen system failure is a big problem. After returning, you must carefully find the cause of the problem!

"The nose of this aircraft looks a bit similar to the F-16," said the vice chairman of the Military Commission.

In fact, during the development process, this aircraft borrowed the nose of the f-16, the flat nose, and the bottom was flat. In this way, it could play a pre-compression role on the air. Now, when he heard the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission say this, General Wang, the commander of the Air Force, immediately said: "This is different. You look at the air inlet, and there is a bulge inside. This is our most advanced technology. Even the United States does not have such technology."

General Wang is very proud, and at the same time, he was born in the Air Force and his desire for advanced technology is far superior to others.

"Our cockpit is also advanced than the F-16." General Wang continued: "There are two LCD screens in the cockpit and flat display. We use the same 1553b data bus technology as the United States, but our on-board computer has better computing power than F-"

Up the gangway and looking at the cockpit, the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission felt very surprised: "Our electronic technology has surpassed the United States?"

This is absolutely unimaginable. It would be nice to catch up with the United States. Catch up? Only when satellites were released in the 1960s and 1970s can be said.

"Yes, it exceeds the avionics equipment on the F-16 fighter jets provided to us by the United States." General Wang said. He has always been the most concerned about the No. 10 Project. Now, the No. 10 aircraft is in a confrontation with the F-16, and has beaten the F-16 all over the ground. Taking this opportunity, he explains it to the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission. After returning, he will formally report to the Chairman of the Military Commission. I expect that the introduction of the F-16 project will be ruined.

"Did we produce these devices ourselves?" asked the Minister of Defense.

"Most of them are self-produced, and a few are imported, from Pakistan," said General Wang.

When I heard about importing, some people were still stunned. Then I heard that it was imported from Pakistan and I felt relieved.

Now, China and Pakistan have very close military cooperation. Even nuclear submarine technology can be sold. It is normal for Pakistan to sell some electronic components to China.

Seeing these people talking lively, Chen Fei's people standing from afar, Chen Fei's person in charge had a gloomy face.

This time it was so embarrassing. He was locked by the other party six times, but he didn't even have the chance to fight back! The Military Commission will definitely look down on such a fighter!

After a long time of hard work, it seems that it will be wasted again! Once Chen Fei has no project support and only relied on the J-8-2, it will gradually decline in the future. Cheng Fei, with the help of this new model, may rise from now on.

I thought I would win easily, but now I ended up like this. Chen Fei's person in charge was very embarrassed.

"Minister." At this moment, he saw the minister of the Third Department of Machinery coming over and said hello quickly. After all, he had gone out of Chen Fei and would help Chen Fei in everything.

"This confrontation exercise is full of moisture. We hope we can find the reason. In a few months, we will conduct another confrontation exercise. This time it doesn't count." Chen Fei's person in charge was also smart and immediately came up with such a solution. Now that he lost, he is cheating. Let's talk about it next time! Delay for a few months!

"We can make this suggestion, but the effect is probably very poor. You must be mentally prepared. If the project of introducing the F-16 fails, you must have new project support." After saying these few words, the minister of the Third Machinery Department turned around and left. This No. 10 machine seems to be really advanced, so go and take a look!

New project? What new project does Chenfei have? A J-8-2 is actually a double-engine large version of the J-7. Then the air intake on the nose is changed to air intake on both sides. This thing has been done for many years. Now it is in a fixed service. In fact, there are still many problems. Chenfei's person in charge frowned even more.

A roar came from a distance, and Henry, who was wandering around the mountains, also flew back. He just went back when he came back and went around again. Now, the fuel has almost been exhausted, so he has already flown back.

At this time, it is no longer the stars supporting the moon.

Only Chen Fei and his group got off the plane and greeted Henry.

Originally, after the air confrontation exercise, two more planes would be put together and compared on the ground, but now, almost everyone has gone to see the No. 10 plane, which is empty.

"Henry, what happened to the air battle just now?" Through the translation, Chen Fei's person in charge asked Henry.

"How do I know what's going on!" Henry was also full of anger: "That plane was so terrible. My radar could not detect it at all sixty kilometers away! I was fighting with it, and its various performances, including maneuverability, and avionics, were above my plane!"

At this time, Henry no longer maintained the authority of this aircraft. After all, this aircraft was originally a castrated version. Henry, who had just been locked by the other party six times and "dead" six times, of course, cannot be said that his own technology is not good. It is not a technical problem, it is the difference in the performance of the aircraft itself!

After saying that, Henry shook his head, left the plane, and after flying for several hours, it was time for him to rest.

That plane was so terrible? This was what the American pilot said! Chen Fei's face was even more gloomy and terrifying, which shows that Cheng Fei had already left his own side far behind in the development of advanced fighter jets!

The air confrontation opened the eyes of the country's senior leaders and their confidence in domestic fighter jets increased greatly. The argument for introducing F-16s disappeared immediately. No one mentioned the introduction of fighter jets from the United States. Cheng Fei's funding came with it.

The test flight is continuing, and the first thing to be eliminated is the failure of the oxygen system.

Oxygen is related to the safety of the pilot. If there is no oxygen in high altitude, the pilot will immediately faint, and then the plane will be destroyed and the people will die.

Therefore, fighter jets need oxygen. Generally speaking, before the fighter lands and takes off again, in addition to refueling, it also needs to be refueled, that is, the oxygen needed to breathe at high altitude and store it in a steel cylinder. Moreover, when there are infrared missiles, sometimes liquid nitrogen is needed to cool down the missile's seeker.

In later generations, the advanced F-22 fighter jets in the United States used molecular sieve oxygen production technology and removed the bulky cylinders. They were originally a manifestation of advanced technology, but unfortunately, there was a technical failure, and the result was that the plane was destroyed and the death of people.

Now, when encountering such a problem, Cheng Fei immediately organized a problem. Unfortunately, after several orders of progress, no problems were found.

What's going on? As a test pilot, he often participates in troubleshooting. Lei Qiang carefully recalled the situation at that time. He was fighting with the other party at a high altitude and needed to consume oxygen at a high altitude. However, according to the oxygen supply at that time, there would not be insufficient situations. Unless the oxygen is also consumed at a low altitude, this situation will occur.

At low altitude, relying on the outside air is enough, and no oxygen is needed. If oxygen is also consumed, there is only one situation. The pressure sensor in the cockpit has a malfunction, which makes the computer think that the oxygen in the cockpit is insufficient! Therefore, it will continuously output oxygen!

Yes, this is a very likely possibility! Lei Qiang said to Mr. Song: "We need to check the cockpit pressure sensor! If the cockpit pressure is low, it will lead to the emergency oxygen supply system working!"

When everyone heard Lei Qiang's words, they were all enlightened and checked immediately! Sure enough, it was the fault of the cockpit pressure sensor! It was so dangerous that the fault of such a sensor almost caused the plane to be destroyed and the death of people. If the plane crashed that day, it would probably give Chen Fei's people enough excuses to attack their own fighter planes.
