If it is in the case of maximum weight, that is to say, it carries more than 100 tons of cargo, and if it takes off with full fuel, it needs a runway of more than 2,000 meters, and now, two J-8s, plus a model, plus these people, that is, more than 20 tons, if it is not for the volume limit, even the Yun-8 can transport these.

Taking off in this almost empty situation, the C5 was even more relaxed, and only taxied on the runway for more than a thousand meters, and then, the nose was pulled up, the landing gear in front was also up, and it flew forward for a few hundred meters, and the landing gear behind it was up, and it had left the ground.

When it flies, it doesn't have the lightness of the fighter jet when it takes off, it's like flying a brick, this big guy always shows its stability.

Although Qin Feng wanted to go very much, he didn't disturb the crew in front of him, and when the other party was flying, he couldn't go over to interfere.

However, just when Qin Feng was careful not to disturb them, he found that the door was pushed open, and then, inside the cockpit, a few people came out.

Why, don't these people fly planes? Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, such a thing, it is said that only the Soviets can do it, right?

The boldness of the Soviets is well-known all over the world, take the passenger plane as an example, last year, a Soviet captain made a bet with the co-pilot, saying that he could close all the cockpit curtains without looking outside, and only rely on pure instrument blind landing to let the TU-134 passenger plane land.

If it's just empty, the problem is that there are more than 90 passengers on this plane, and as a result, they landed like this, is it to experience the ability to experience the ability when all the earth is full of smoke and dust after the attack of a nuclear bomb?

As a result, the plane crashed on the runway due to the wrong attitude and high speed, killing 70 of the 94 passengers and crew members of the entire plane, including his co-pilot.

In later generations, there are many more, such as the serious smog over the capital, and other flights are hovering in the sky, and no one dares to go down, but the Russian flight rushed down and landed.

There are even cases where flight attendants calmly tell passengers that one engine is catching fire, but you don't have to worry because there are two engines on the plane.

It is said that the Soviets would be so unreliable and use this kind of thing as a joke, and now, are the Americans like this?

He watched these people go to the back, picked up the coffee on the coffee machine, and then began to chat, and then looked ahead, fortunately, leaving a co-pilot watching, but the co-pilot's hand did not contact the steering stick at all, are they also so unreliable?

Wait, it seems that someone else has this kind of technology?

What is it called? Autopilot!

The automatic driving of the car will take a long time to become popular, but the automatic driving of the passenger plane has already begun, as long as the route has been flown once, the passenger plane will be able to fly by itself in the future, if it is not for safety considerations, even the take-off and landing can be automatically controlled, and now, they have flown to the established route, and then they need to wait patiently.

Flying a large plane has this advantage, the cabin is very wide, in the long flight, you can move a little, originally Qin Feng planned to fly the plane directly to the United States, he even diapers are in the plan, the long flight is a great test of physical strength and endurance.

There is no such way in China, but it is very common in the world, not long ago the Thunderbird flight demonstration team, people are directly flying over, people through several air refueling, directly flew over the Pacific Ocean, in a long flight, diapers are definitely a good way to solve personal problems.

There is no such training in China, but sometimes the plane has just landed, and the pilot can't even wait for the gangway, so he jumps down directly.

Anyway, there are men at the airport, if you are in a hurry, after coming down, turn your back to the body, and go directly to the grass outside the runway.

Even Qin Feng has experienced such a thing, and now, seeing them leisurely enjoying the flight, Qin Feng is very envious, of course, they didn't stay here for long, and some people even returned to the flight seat with coffee.

The transport plane continued to fly forward, and a few hours later, the first in-flight refueling began.

It is not easy to make a sortie of such an aircraft, it can carry 150 tons of fuel, but in the case of the maximum load capacity, it will only need to be refueled after flying more than 5,000 kilometers.

If you look at the range, it is not even qualified, but for the United States, the range only depends on the physical endurance of the flight personnel, who can have unlimited endurance by refueling in the air.

This was the first time Qin Feng had observed refueling in the air.

As he got closer, Qin Feng could identify that the four engines suspended under the wings should be the KC-135 air tanker of the US Air Force, this kind of air tanker

This aircraft looks very similar to the Boeing 707, because it was originally a large air tanker developed by Boeing on the basis of the C-135 military transport aircraft developed by Boeing for the US Air Force. And the C-135 military transport aircraft was developed by Boeing on the basis of the Boeing 707 prototype 367-80.

So, the appearance looks very similar, but in fact it is not the same, there are still a lot of differences.

This air tanker began to be developed and equipped with troops in the V era, when the main

It was used for long-range strategic bombers of the U.S. Air Force, but later it was also possible to refuel various types of fighters of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps.

Qin Feng knew that when it came to air refueling technology, the most advanced was still the United States, and when other countries were hose refueling, they were already hard pipes.

Hose refueling is the simplest, an airplane drags a hose in front of the flight, the end of the hose has a tapered sleeve, the back of the oil receiving machine to use the most exquisite acrobatic technology, their own oil receiving pipe to plug in, docking successfully, and then refueling, because the tube is relatively thin, so the flow rate will not be very fast.

The hard pipe is different, as it is now, the tail of the air tanker in front of it, sticking down a tube, this tube is at least ten times thicker than the hose.

The name of the profession is called telescopic casing refueling method, which is composed of an external telescopic main pipe, telescopic casing and V-shaped rudder. As the name suggests, this tube can be retracted back and forth, usually the telescopic tube is 8.5 meters long, and when the refueling is fully extended, it is 14.3 meters.

In addition to being adjustable in length, it can also move, specifically, in a space of 54 degrees up and down and 30 degrees horizontally.
