Chapter 89 Test Flight

In the simple material warehouse of Jiangnan Shipyard, all kinds of accessories and raw materials are crowded in the corners. They are piled up to the high roof. In the wide open space in the middle, dozens of lifting hoist chain hooks are hanging down.

, bright lights shine on a low-wing aircraft in the center that is shiny with metallic luster.

Wang Xiaofeng, Zhu Lin and other chief engineers led more than 30 young students and engineers to surround the nearly 9-meter-long fighter plane. Everyone had a happy smile on their faces. When they saw Chen Shaokuan and Zhu Bin getting out of the car and coming in, they immediately

People on both sides of the queue applauded enthusiastically!

"Thank you for your hard work!" Chen Shaokuan's usually serious face was filled with relief. He waved to everyone, walked steadily to the fighter plane, walked around carefully, and touched the smooth metal skin with clean white gloves.

, praised, "This aircraft is well built! You have made great contributions to the country's military construction! After the test flight is successful, I will personally ask the national government for your credit!"

"Thank you, Minister Chen!" Upon receiving his approval, the honest engineers cheered warmly.

Wang Assistant came forward and said with a smile: "We also want to thank Director Zhu very much! Without his efforts and contributions, we still don't know how many years and months it will take before we can personally build such an advanced fighter!"

"That's right! Director Zhu has made a huge contribution, so I must thank you!" Everyone agreed, and every word was sincere. This was not just a show, it was actually after more than ten years of suffering and suffering.

This is the first time that they can freely do what they like to do, and there is a broad road ahead waiting to recognize their achievements. How many times can such a good thing happen in a lifetime?

Zhu Bin humbly handed over his hand and inspected with his own eyes the fighter jet that he had put a lot of effort into.

He made the machine head and engine by himself. The three-dimensional printer produced a high-purity aluminum body with almost no tolerance and deformation according to the drawings. There was no problem. Every part used in the assembly was brain-assisted design. Jiangnan Sohe

The samples produced by various factories in Shanghai have been secretly scanned and compared, and are fully qualified. The high-strength aluminum alloy frame, landing gear and other structures are assisted by the shipyard's forging press and other equipment. The quality is reliable, and the overall parts processing dimensions are strictly in accordance with the drawings.

requirements, so when assembled, there is almost no need to worry about other problems.

Without such a foundation, this fighter plane would not have been able to be installed so quickly. This is a special case, and the speed is really satisfactory.

Raising his hand to touch the smooth and delicate skin, Zhu Bin was delighted to find that the surface made with the inlaid rivets he designed had almost no unobtrusive unevenness, and the welding process was also perfect. Almost every corner was smooth for the engineers.

I can't find any burrs after polishing. I don't know how much thought these people put into it!

"This is simply a work of art!" Zhu Bin sincerely admired that these people's manual manufacturing capabilities and the fine workmanship they produced were no worse than those of high-precision assembly lines!

Wang Zhu and others accepted the compliments. In fact, they felt the same way. After more than ten years of accumulation, they have now devoted themselves to this fighter plane. It would be strange if it does not shine!

Opening the hatch of the upper cockpit reveals the seats equipped with catapults and parachutes. There are forged high-strength alloy plates around and at the bottom to form a protective layer. Although it is much worse than titanium alloy, it uses large-scale manufacturing.

The instrument panel is densely packed with horizon, heading, altitude, airspeed, a lot of fuel, an electronic tube aviation communication radio, and several vacant places. The original design was for onboard camera equipment and other facilities, but there are currently no such facilities.

It had to be left vacant.

But even so, it is already extremely advanced in this era, at least none of the experts present have seen it.

Above the nose of the aircraft, two 12.7mm heavy machine guns were placed side by side. The original design of the ammunition load was 250 rounds

, but that depends on the combat situation.

It is not the carrier-based aircraft that Chen Shaokuan wants most, but as the base version of the land-based aircraft, you can already tell the difference at first glance. I have seen so many types of fighter jets in the United States, which represent the highest level of design in the world. In comparison, it seems that Zhu

This one created by Bin and Wang Zhu is even better!

"Is this fighter plane ready to take off?" Chen Shaokuan asked Wang Zhu, pointing.

In the style of a rigorous engineer, Wang Zhu hesitated and said: "There are no problems with assembly and debugging. After many taxiing tests, everything is normal. If we take off..." He glanced at Zhu Bin.

To be honest, he had no idea! These days, monoplanes are not only much heavier than traditional biplanes, but also have a much smaller wing area. However, the engines are still very powerful. If they really fly, will they become high-speed bombs? No

Easy to say!

Zhu Bin was confident. How could there be a problem with the stabilizing mechanism blown out by simulated wind? He immediately said carelessly: "There will be no problem. I won't explain the reason yet. You are afraid that you can't find the test pilot, right?"

Wang Zhu nodded helplessly. In this era, there are only a few people in China who can fly airplanes. They are still under the direct jurisdiction of the central government and are hidden like treasures. In fact, they are all inexperienced people. This time

The poor performance of the war was all about cowardice, and instead allowed a Boeing salesman, Robbit Short, and a half-year-old boy named Kyoryo to steal the spotlight. How shameful!

Engineers like them are good at work, but they can't fly a plane into the sky!

Zhu Bin stared and said, "Why bother others with this matter? I'll do it! I'm the most familiar with aircraft performance indicators. I can directly feel the difference between design and actual manufacturing, better than anyone else."

"Isn't this bad? It's too dangerous!" Not only Wang Zhu, but also Wang Xiaofeng and others also tried to dissuade you. You are the God of Wealth for everyone. If something goes wrong, how many people will cry with their heads in their hands!

They also thought about the difficulties and dangers faced by test pilots after the aircraft was manufactured. The incident of Feng Ru personally crashing during a test flight in 1912 was not far away. In June 1924, Russian pilot Safinov and Huang Youshi, a student of the flying submarine school

While piloting the Type-1 Sea Eagle on a training mission, he crashed to the ground when the altitude reached 400 meters. Safinov died of serious injuries and Huang Youshi was only injured.

They have experienced these things personally. Over the years, every aircraft has been carefully developed. After all, they have rich experience in biplane seaplanes. But the aircraft in front of them is different. It is a complete metal body and has a range of nearly 500 kilometers.

If there really is a malfunction at the designed flight speed, no one knows whether we can escape even with an ejection chair and parachute!

Not only the engineers, but Chen Shaokuan also spoke out to stop it. Zhu Bin spread his hands and said: "That's troublesome! Looking at China, you can't find anyone who has flown a monoplane. It's even more dangerous for them to come! No need to argue, I

I know what is being designed.”

Seeing his resolute attitude, everyone felt embarrassed and went to see Chen Shaokuan. Minister Chen took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhu Bin's shoulders and asked solemnly: "How sure are you? This matter is not a joke!"

Zhu Bin chuckled and said, "Just wait and see! 100% of that is bragging, 70% to 80% of it will be fine. I won't make fun of my life and future."

"Okay! I believe you!" Chen Shaokuan knew that he was not a Meng Lang person. He would not take risks for no reason. He patted his shoulder hard and said, "Be careful!"

Minister Chen assured that the engineers should not argue anymore. After checking that the weather outside was okay, they dragged the aircraft out of the warehouse and onto the flat runway outside. In order to prevent Zhu Bin from messing around, he only added half of the fuel to him, and then

Force him to test the car on the spot for at least ten minutes before letting it slide slowly.

I have practiced on the Boeing 218 fighter plane, and it is extremely easy to get started with the new fighter plane which is basically similar in operation. The sense of space cultivated by many years of flying in space is better than anyone in the world, not to mention the speed, just gliding over a hundred meters.

Zhu Bin quickly increased the speed of the plane, raised the nose of the plane with a cheer, and the x211 fighter jet roared "buzzing" and soared into the sky!

"It's flying!" On the ground, dozens of engineers and shipyard staff who came to watch after hearing the noise cheered and jumped. They saw Zhu Bin controlling the fighter plane to roll unscrupulously in the sky, sometimes pulling up to three or four thousand people.

Meters high in the air, sometimes 100 meters below the ground and suddenly swooping down, making them shout and scream in shock!

Thanks to the large land area of ​​Jiangnan and the lack of any tall buildings around him, Zhu Bin used his hands and feet to push the engine power to the top, feeling the push force from the seat when accelerating violently, and the blood suddenly rushed up to his brain when he dived.

, as if I have returned to the exciting and exciting time when I was learning to drive as a child. I can hear the loud roar of the engine outside, rolling into the clouds, and amidst the even and slight vibrations of the fuselage, it emits a series of screams like ghosts and wolves.

!

“It’s so cool——!”
