C669 Following the Laws of Science
Therefore, many flying pilots could not be Test Pilot, because to Test Pilot, apart from being a pilot, he also had to be an engineer.
That's right. Test Pilot had to have a college degree. He had to be at the level of an flying engineer. Generally speaking, Test Pilot himself would have to be a first-class expert in the design department.
Modern planes were getting more and more complicated. Although they had advanced aircraft testing equipment and ground testing equipment, Test Pilot's role was still very important in evaluating the performance of the planes and monitoring the working conditions of the planes.
In order to get familiar with the plane as soon as possible, Test Pilot usually participated in the initial stage of the design and gave suggestions on the design plan from a safe and practical point of view.
In the test flight, Test Pilot not only completed the flight movement according to the requirements, but also explained all kinds of flying phenomena theoretically, accurately reporting the flight situation, and giving suggestions for improvement.
In the early days, it was the airplane engineers who tested the flight themselves. However, as the performance of the plane continued to improve, the body of the flight engineer was not qualified, and Test Pilot had to specialize in it.
Although the new plane had carried out a lot of theoretical calculations and various kinds of ground experiments in the research and development process, it was still dangerous to carry out the first flight and high-difficulty subjects. When encountering an unusual phenomenon, Test Pilot should be able to accurately judge and deal with it in a timely and appropriate manner. Therefore, Test Pilot had to have a skilled driving technique, a higher level of theoretical knowledge, and dedication.
In short, the pilot was picked out from the ordinary applicants from ten thousand miles away, and Test Pilot was also one of the pilots from ten thousand miles away.
Chen Rui was not only an outstanding representative among the pilots, but also a Test Pilot.
An outstanding pilot would become a professional Test Pilot after a year of studying in the Flying Experimental College. This was the path Chen Rui took.
Chen Rui was very young, but he had already flown many models. Chen Rui's experience in handling dangerous situations was also top notch, especially this new plane, which was controlled by an electronic transmission.
Compared to the hydraulic control in the past, the electrical control was much more convenient for the pilot and gave the plane excellent maneuverability. However, if they encountered danger and did not handle it properly, it was quite easy for the plane to crash.
Chen Rui had the most abundant experience.
Therefore, Chen Rui had been chosen as the chief of the Fierce Dragon, Test Pilot. It was just that Chen Rui had a lot of things to do, and he did not stay in the 6611 Institution all the time.
Han Country had a specialized flying test field, and there was a specialized Flight Test Institute. However, the new flying test field did not go to the Flight Test Institute immediately.
After all, the new aircraft could not be transported there by truck, right? The new aircraft was going to fly there. This also meant that... The initial flying test subjects were all carried out in the aircraft factory. When the aircraft factory had completed the test flight and confirmed that there were no problems with the basic flying conditions, only then would they fly to Flight Test Institute and carry out the test subjects for the subsequent complicated flying test subjects. If they couldn't even pass the first test of the factory, then it was better to enter the factory and return to the furnace as soon as possible.
Now, the Fierce Dragon Fighter was finally about to embark on a new journey!
"Although this plane is a Replica, we still have to follow the laws of science to do things. For example, before we test it out, we have to slip on the ground first." Elder Soong continued.
The experiment of the aircraft had to be carried out step by step. Now, although it was an imitation of a plane, it was still the first time.
It was different from the Super Seven.
Although the Super Seven and the J-7 were very different, after all, it was just a regular plane with hydraulic operation as the main focus. When it flew for the first time, it was a hydraulic system. Later on, Qin Guan created the modules needed for the electronic operations. It was only then that it was switched to a vertical transmission.
Therefore, the test flight of the Super Seven was not very complicated.
The Fierce Dragon was different. It was a duck-shaped plane. At the same time, it was also a quiet and unstable plane. This plane... It had never been there before. In other words, it was a rare sight in this era. The earliest Eagle Lion fighter aircraft, which was designed in a duck style, only flew in 1988. Now that they were like this, they had definitely set up a large satellite.
They had to follow the objective rules.
When the fighter jet was being developed, the first thing to do was to conduct a circular experiment on the plane.
After the aircraft was manufactured, hydraulic pressure would be applied to the aircraft, and electricity would be turned on. After that, Test Pilot sat in the cockpit. In front of the plane, there was a visual simulation screen. It could simulate the changes that the pilot saw when the plane was moving. At this time, Test Pilot pulled the driver's shaft. Because there was hydraulic pressure, the Rudder Surface changed according to the design pattern. The world lines and other scenes displayed on the screen would also change along with it. It was equivalent to a pilot sitting in the cockpit and flying according to the view in front of him.
This was the first step. Through this kind of experiment, it tested whether the plane could be controlled normally. If they couldn't control it here, they definitely wouldn't be able to control it when they were actually flying.
As for this step, it could be omitted now because there was already a prototype in front of them. Chen Rui had also operated the prototype before, and it flew into the blue sky several times.
This step could be omitted, but the following steps could not be omitted.
Next was the low-speed, mid-speed, and high-speed gliding test. Generally, low-speed glides mainly depended on the agility of the plane's glide on the ground. This was because the aircraft's ability to glide on the ground had requirements such as turning radius, sliding speed, and other indicators. At this time, the aircraft was a tricycle, the most expensive tricycle.
Next was the medium speed and the high speed.
The food had to be eaten one bite at a time, and the work had to be done one by one.
This first prototype was built to conduct experiments. At the same time, there was also a second and third prototype that needed to be quietly destroyed for experiments, to measure the strength of the aircraft, and to test and speed up the progress, etc.
There could not be any mistakes with the Replica. If they were to fly on the first plane, who knew what problems would arise?
Elder Soong looked at it with a scientific attitude.
Chen Rui nodded. "En, this plane has been flying for more than a year. Our 6611 research institute's progress is really too fast. Now, let me drive it. This is our own plane."
The performance of the Super Seven was not bad, but the engine was controlled by people. Han Air Force was destined to not equip it, but the Fierce Dragon was different now. It would become the main force of Han Air Force.
Although Chen Rui was very envious of the male cat, the male cat's arrival would still take some time. Now, let him enjoy the Fierce Dragon!
Chen Rui looked at the fighter that was still assembling. His heart was filled with anticipation. At this moment, Chen Rui didn't know that his brother-in-law would bring more surprises with him.
