"Since you have decided to test fly the J-8, then we also respect your decision." Tu Lao said.

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed, the tail spin subject of the J-7 fighter has been tested, and the J-7 II fighter has ushered in the real finalization, at the same time, in the 132 factory, a large number of J-7 II fighters are in full swing production, in addition to supplying the troops, it is also necessary to export to earn foreign exchange, so the task is very heavy.

And there is also the mapping and imitation work of the MiG-21MF, so Tu Lao must return to Chengdu, and now, Qin Feng said that he wants to stay and fly the J-8, so Tu Lao can only go back alone.

"Please tell Song Lao that I will test fly here until the end of the year, and after the J-8 is finalized, I will return to Chengdu." Qin Feng said: "I still remember my duties, and since I have joined the J-9 project, I will definitely do my best." ”

Since I stayed in the test flight institute, I couldn't go to the 611 Institute.

Tu Lao looked at Qin Feng and said, "Okay, I'm afraid that you will be fascinated by the J-13 of the 601 Institute and never go back to Chengdu." ”

In the aviation industry, the 601 Institute is the big brother, Tu Lao also knows that the future of the J-9 is now bleak, and the J-13 still has great hope, if Qin Feng joins the J-8 test flight team, then he will definitely come into contact with the J-13, such a good seedling, grab it everywhere.

Qin Feng shook his head: "No, I prefer Song Lao's project." ”

After sending off Tu Lao and the others, Qin Feng continued to sort out the information of the test flight and began to prepare for the test flight of the J-8.

The test flight is a rigorous work, Qin Feng must be familiar with the various parameters of the J-8, all kinds of emergency treatment, and fly a few times at subsonic speed before entering the real test flight mission.

"006 reports, all the gauges are normal, request to take off."

"001 received, ready to take off."

With the voice of the head of the test flight group from the tower, Qin Feng gently pulled the throttle stick with his left hand, released the two servos with both feet, and then, that familiar feeling came from his back.

Because the tail of the J-8 is stuffed with two engines, the thrust-to-weight ratio of this fighter is relatively high, although the afterburner is not turned on, and the push-back feeling of the J-7's afterburner take-off is almost the same.

Qin Feng looked through the small area in front of him, looking at the runway scenery on both sides and retreating rapidly.

Because the J-8 is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter, its test pilots are also equipped with special high-altitude helmets, and the helmet of the MiG-21MF that flew last time I went to Egypt is generally covered on the head, which is very uncomfortable, Qin Feng still likes the previous leather flight cap.

This is the first flight, Qin Feng has mastered all the flight essentials, this take-off action is not muddy, he glanced at it with the corner of his eye, the airspeed gauge has exceeded 200, he gently pulled the operating stick, the nose of the fighter lifted up, and continued to slide for dozens of meters, the fighter suddenly was light, and it had been pulled up!

Like a bird, flying in the sky was the dream of many people in the past, some people tied wings on their shoulders, some people tied rockets under chairs, but in the end, only airplanes succeeded.

As a pilot, this feeling of flying into the blue sky is difficult to describe, the ground is so small that only the sky can accommodate your body.

Qin Feng looked at the dashboard, the fighter plane was still climbing, and he kept reporting: "006 report, it has climbed to two thousand meters." ”

"Level the plane, turn on the radar equipment." A command came from inside the headset.

"Roger." Qin Feng's hand flexibly toggled the various switches in front of him.

Qin Feng's first test flight can only be stable, and the data that has been flown long before the flight is absolutely within the envelope, so if it is just a flight, it will be a waste.

It just so happened that Qin Fengfei's newly assembled test flight prototype was equipped with the first airborne interception and targeting radar developed in China.

204 radar.

In the past, domestic fighters did not have any airborne radar, and pilots relied on the naked eye to find targets, rushed up to solve the battle with machine guns, and fought with white knives in and red knives out.

The J-8 fighter was developed to solve the problem of bombers intercepting the Soviets, so it was planned to be equipped with radar.

The 204 radar, which finds targets within 30 kilometers and launches Thunderbolt 4 semi-active radar-guided air-to-air missiles at 16 kilometers, is an important equipment for domestic missile interception capabilities.

30 kilometers, an excellent pilot can find the target with the naked eye, however, the pilot can not give guidance to the semi-active missile, now, Qin Feng leveled the plane in the air at two thousand meters, and his fingers first toggled the first switch to warm up the radar.

This radar uses a large number of electron tube components, which must be warmed up for at least three minutes before it can work properly, and during this time, Qin Feng can also experience the operating feeling of this aircraft.

The field of view is not very good, in the cockpit, almost the shoulders have just been exposed, with the fuselage of the fighter being horizontal, the lower part is almost invisible, if it is a J-7, turn your head to see the auxiliary fuel tanks mounted under the wings on both sides, and the J-8 will not see anything.

As for looking backwards? There is a periscope on the top of the cockpit, which is specially used to look backwards, and when you turn your head from here, you have long been blocked by the back ridge behind, and you can't see anything.

After feeling it like this for a few minutes, a green light lit up on the dashboard, and Qin Feng shouted on the radio: "The radar has been warmed up, request to turn on the radar for testing." ”

"It's OK to go."

With the sound inside the headphones, Qin Feng toggled several other switches, and in the lower part of the dashboard, on the radar screen like the bottom of a small wine bottle, the bright spots turned into bright lines, turning on the green screen.

This is an airborne radar!

In the past, the J-7 was not available, at most it was just a radar rangefinder, but now that there is finally such a small screen, Qin Feng's heart is excited, and he has been learning how to operate it in the past few days.

The bright line rotates around the screen, which means that the radar antenna in front is rotating, which means that the radar wave is being emitted into the distance, and if there is a target, it can be reflected on the screen at this time.

The bright line first turned half a circle around the top, and when it turned to the bottom, all of a sudden, there were dense bright spots on the screen, countless, and in an instant, the entire screen was filled with bright spots.

"006 reports, clutter is severe, and follow-up experiments are not possible." Qin Feng shouted over the radio.

"006, turn off the radar and return immediately." The sound of the tower came from the headphones.

"006 Roger." Qin Feng turned off the switches one by one in order, and he felt that his eyes were flashed a few times by the strong light of the screen, and he was almost blind.

At the same time, there is also a question in my mind, what is going on?
