Chapter 206: The Pilots' Taboo
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone began to march towards the airport. Although the office building was next to the airport, Wu Hao and the others still took a four- or five-minute shuttle bus to arrive at the scene.
This actual flight test is not open to the public, so in addition to Wu Hao and them, there are some technicians from the flight test center.
Wu Hao did not go to the TT&C center with everyone, but came to the apron of the test flight site alone.
Here, he finally met Zheng Chengwei, the deputy chief designer he hadn't seen just now.
Seeing Wu Hao coming over, Zheng Chengwei, who was busy, immediately stepped forward and shook his hand and said, "Mr. Wu, here." ”
Wu Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, this time has been hard, how are you preparing now." ”
Zheng Chengwei waved his hand and said, "It's nothing hard, you have already built the frame, we just add content to it."
We have completed a series of tests on the premise, such as computer simulation, man-machine dialogue, and even we have tested it on the air test platform, and the performance of this system is excellent.
The main purpose of this actual flight test is to equip our intelligent voice assistance system on the fighter, and then test its relevant functions during the flight stage of the fighter and test the reliability of the operation of the whole system.
In particular, when the fighter plane is maneuvering at high speed, it generates a lot of data in an instant. How to correctly identify and read these data, and filter them to prioritize important data is the content of our important test. ”
Hearing Zheng Chengwei's introduction, Wu Hao nodded. This test is indeed quite rigorous. When the fighter is maneuvering at high speed, the speed is relatively fast, and a large amount of dynamic data will be generated in an instant.
This requires the system to select useful data from this data and prioritize the broadcast and processing of important data information.
And when the fighter is flying, high-speed maneuvering often occurs when the fighter is in a dangerous state. For example, flying at ultra-low altitudes, rolling at a high angle, or super-maneuvering to entangle with fighters and avoid danger.
Therefore, for the post-flight and the fighter, every minute and second at this juncture is a matter of life and death for the fighter and the pilot. Therefore, the response speed of the system must be as fast as possible, and it must be accurate and reliable, which undoubtedly has strict requirements for the performance of the whole system.
"There are many factors that affect the performance of the system, not only the degree of optimization of the system itself, but also related to the hardware of the fighter itself. For example, the performance of the processor on which the system is installed depends on the performance of each sensor that receives the data. Wu Hao said.
Hearing this, Zheng Chengwei said with a smile: "We have also taken into account what you said, so this time we chose the J-_10C, which has the most outstanding performance among our domestic fighters, as our test flight platform."
This fighter is equipped with a new domestic integrated fire control system and a digital fly-by-wire control system, which can be said to be the second largest fighter in the domestic fighter with a degree of informatization second only to the J-20.
We can't make it through the J_20, so we can only replace it with this J-_10C. It took a lot of effort to apply for this fighter.
Of course, in order to equip our system, we also spent a lot of effort. The various sensors and related hardware equipment installed alone reached 35 kilograms.
You know that the weight on the fighter plane does not increase casually, it will not only affect the aerodynamic shape, but also may affect the fuselage and flight balance of the aircraft. Especially on this kind of light fighter, and the part that is in the cockpit is more sensitive.
For this reason, I had to ask the relevant aircraft designers to guide me before I could complete the relevant modification work. ”
Although I don't know what sensor is equipped, it actually reaches a weight of thirty-five kilograms, judging from Zheng Chengwei's tone, they must have worked hard.
At this time, I saw two test pilots wearing a blue flight suit, an army green load-resistant suit, and a gray helmet in their hands.
After seeing Wu Hao, the two of them quickly stood up and saluted Wu Hao. Seeing this, Wu Hao hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with the two.
"How's that, who's flying today." Wu Hao looked at the two test pilots with relaxed faces and asked with a smile.
Fan Yunlong said with a smile: "I'll fly, Cao Lei will be on the bench." ”
Wu Hao nodded and said, "I don't understand your auspicious words, so I wish you all the best and fly safely." ”
"Haha, thank you, Mr. Wu!"
Fan Yunlong said with a smile: "Your words are the greatest wishes for us pilots. ”
"Hehe, I originally wanted to say that the journey was smooth, but then I thought about it wrong, it seems that the tailwind is not a good thing for you pilots and planes." Wu Hao joked with a smile.
"Haha, we've heard this a lot, and there are some leaders among them. But people are always well-intentioned, so we can't refute it in public, let's tell them about the troops.
So I can only comfort myself in my heart, let's go with the wind, except that the lift is almost no harm, it's better than the crosswind. Fan Yunlong laughed at them, although he was facing a test flight, he seemed very relaxed, and more than ten years of test flight work made him look very calm when facing such a task.
Hahahaha......
Indeed, for pilots, there are also their own taboos or dislikes. Crosswind, for example, is a word that every pilot has a headache for. Especially when the plane takes off and lands, the most taboo is the crosswind. So in comparison, the downwind is at least a little better than the crosswind.
And the headwind, which we ordinary people don't like the most, is the favorite of pilots. Because in a headwind environment, both take-off and landing are very favorable.
"It's almost time, let's start preparing." Zheng Chengwei looked at his watch and then said to a few people.
Fan Yunlong nodded, then saluted Wu Hao and Zheng Chengwei again, and then walked towards the _10C on the tarmac with Cao Lei.
"When you come back, let's have a drink." Somehow, Wu Hao suddenly couldn't help but shout.
And Fan Yunlong, who was walking towards the fighter, did not look back, but stretched out his hand and gave him a thumbs up.
Wu Hao smiled when he saw this, and then said to Zheng Chengwei: "Mr. Zheng, then I'll go to the measurement and control center first, and you guys will come over after you are busy." ”
Zheng Chengwei nodded and said, "You go first, and after the release, we will come over." ”
"Good!"
Wu Hao came to the measurement and control center by car and just sat down. I saw the fighter planes on the tarmac in the distance start, and then slowly slid towards the runway.
