Now Pugachev still has test flight missions.

The cockpit of the Su-27 is quite wide, and when you sit in it, you have the feeling of a Western fighter, which is completely different from the previous aircraft, Pugachev was able to fly a fighter instead of a transport plane, but also because he was not particularly tall, and now, after having this third-generation aircraft, in fact, the conditions for the Soviet selection of new pilots can also be relaxed.

The two Al31 engines in the tail are started in turn, as a naval carrier-based aircraft, this aircraft has a structural weight increase, such as landing gear, landing hook, etc., if you want to achieve the same performance as land-based fighters, it is necessary to increase the thrust of the engine, plus it is taken off by a sliding jump, which is more dependent on the thrust of the engine.

In fact, this plane does not appear much in the test flight yard, either in the aviation base near the Black Sea Shipyard, or at the Nitka training center on land, a few days ago, he specially flew to the test flight yard, in fact, he was waiting for this opportunity, not too much, as long as one take-off, it is enough to conquer the Chinese.

The Su-27K slid onto the runway, and the roar of the engine in the tail of this aircraft stimulated everyone's eardrums, and Qin Feng also set his sights on the engine in the tail.

Aero engines, that is the laurel of industry, only a few countries can make them, and as for high-thrust turbofan engines, in this world, only two countries can make them, the United States and the Soviet Union!

The American F100 and F110 are all mature and qualified three generations of big push, and in the Soviet Union, this Al-31F engine is the basis for supporting the performance of the Su-27 fighter to surpass the F15, and it is precisely because of it that there is the Su-27.

Qin Feng watched the fighter sliding onto the runway, and after stopping, the flames coming out of the tail were even more intense, that was because the afterburner was turned on, in the roar of the violent engine, the Su-27K fighter slid forward, in front of their eyes, the acceleration of the fighter was so rapid, and soon, the front wheels were raised, and then, the front canard wings and the rear wing surfaces worked together, and the landing gear behind the Su-27K fighter also left the ground, the take-off performance of this fighter is so strong!

If you want to become a carrier-based aircraft, you must have a high enough lift coefficient to be able to glide and jump and take off on a short deck, and now on land, the take-off is even faster.

The roar of the Su-27K disappeared, and everyone's eyes were still looking there, refusing to come back for a long time.

"As a test flight institute, in addition to testing various fighters, we also want to train test pilots who can adapt to the needs of test flights." The visit to the site went very quickly, except for the amazing Su-27K, the others left behind, almost all of them were large aircraft, such as the An-255, which looked incomparably huge, parked in a corner in the distance, this global giant with a load capacity of more than 250 tons, was specially developed for the transportation of the Buran space shuttle, in front of it, everyone will feel their insignificance.

And after the visit, they entered the room, the Gromov Test Flight Institute is also a training school for test pilots, and now everyone enters the honor room.

"Since 1941, we have trained more than 400 excellent top test pilots, who have completed difficult test flight missions again and again, among which 48 graduates have been awarded the title of 'Hero of the Soviet Union', and 4 have become winners of the highest state awards. Of course, there are also many test pilots who died on their own fronts, and the sculptures you see outside are our sacrificial test pilots. ”

In the Soviet Union, the title of Hero of the Soviet Union is the highest honor, except for a large number of awards during World War II, there are too few in peacetime, looking at the photos displayed above, Qin Feng's eyes are full of longing.

"Hey, Druzhnin, my old fellow." General Lin said to the Soviets who accompanied him: "Our test pilots are very eager to come here to receive the most advanced test pilot training, can your door here be open to us?" ”

Druzhning is also an old friend of General Lin's acquaintance, in the test flight institute, is the instructor in charge of test pilot training, he glanced at Qin Feng and said: "This, of course, no problem, but the decision is not ours, as long as Moscow agrees, we are willing to help the old friend." ”

Friends! It has been a week since the delegation came to Moscow, and our friendship has continued to deepen over the past week.

Druzhnin turned his head and looked at the highest official accompanying him, Shaposhnikov, at this time, Shaposhnikov patted his chest: "This, I can report to Moscow." ”

"The plane we saw outside just now is so beautiful." General Lin picked up the conversation again.

"That's nature, that's our Su-27K fighter." Shaposhnikov said: "This fighter is the pride of our Soviets. ”

"I think there are a lot of pylons on this plane."

"Of course, it has more than a dozen pylons, it can carry more than a dozen missiles, it can carry all kinds of weapons that we have, and what you see is the Su-27K, which can not only fight against the air, but also attack the ground and the sea."

Shaposhnikov does not know, what he is saying now is confidential, after all, the Chinese want to buy the Su-27, just a head, Moscow has not yet agreed, but now when it comes to this aircraft, then he is absolutely gushing.

Shaposhnikov's face was full of smiles, and since he had already talked about it, he would just be here and introduce the plane.

He walked up to the front desk, and at the very front of the honor room, there was a model of an airplane, which was none other than that Su-27!

"It has the most powerful engines, each with a thrust of more than 12 tons, and it was this engine that you just saw such a rapid take-off, and in fact, it broke the world record, climbing from the ground to 3,000 meters in just 25 seconds."

When he said this, he was already boasting, this kind of record-setting aircraft is specially improved, all kinds of unnecessary equipment on the aircraft are removed to reduce weight, and the engines of the aircraft are also increased in power, and the thrust-to-weight ratio exceeds 1.5 to be able to achieve this data.

"Shaposhnikov, you idiot!" That very night, in the Kremlin in Moscow, after hearing about this, Defense Minister Dmitry Yazov flew into a rage. What the USSR wants to sell is the MiG-29, not the Su-27, why are you talking to them about so many Su-27 things?
