If Qin Feng passed, it would definitely not be directly by plane, he had a mission.

The two J-8s were flown to Grumman, and then modified in Grumman's factory, and the installation, testing, testing, and test flights of the aircraft systems were carried out at the Bispige factory on Long Island, New York.

It can be said that this is also a very good opportunity for foreign exchanges, although the plane is flown over to others, the plane will not have any secrets at all, but there will still be a lot of gains, 601 will send a capable team of more than 20 people, in the past with the modification.

It's just that the target is in the eastern part of the United States, and from China, flying two J-8 fighters to carry out such a long-distance flight is undoubtedly challenging, of course, this is also a long-distance transfer test flight.

The maximum range of the J-8 is only more than 2,000 kilometers, how can it fly thousands of miles away?

Air refueling is good, but the current planes do not have the ability to refuel in the air, so it is not easy to fly to the United States.

Qin Feng came to Shenyang from the capital and participated in the plan of this model of peace, and now, everyone is worried when they look at the prototypes of the two Jian-8-2.

"If we change the tank to a larger tank, can we increase the range?" Qin Feng said: "We flew to Japan first, then from Japan to Alaska, and then to the United States. ”

Many passenger planes, also on such routes, fly from East Asia to the United States, not directly over the Pacific Ocean, but from above, first to the north, and then to the south.

If you look at the map, you can see that this is a long way, but if you look at the globe, you can see that such a course will be shorter, because the further north you go, the smaller the latitude coil.

This is also a common way, and now, Qin Feng has proposed such a plan, but it has been denied.

"No, even so, the distance to fly from Japan to Alaska is still too long, and the weight of our wings is limited, even with a large auxiliary fuel tank, the range is only 3,000 kilometers, and it is impossible to be higher, so it will definitely not work."

"Let's find good weather, tailwind, fly high in the sky?" Qin Feng continued to ask, but he said several plans one after another, all of which were not recognized.

The Chinese Air Force is backward, which is reflected in all aspects, for example, until now, there is no air refueling technology, according to Qin Feng's proposal to bomb the six modified air tankers, and now the project has just begun to be established, ready to purchase air refueling pods from abroad, as for the realization of air refueling technology, there is still a long way to go, so now there is such an embarrassment, I can't fly over!

This must be planned, if you fall the plane, it is a big loss, and it is a fall in the sea, the vast sea, once it falls, the plane is gone, and the people are gone.

Qin Feng and the other test pilots came up with one method after another, but none of them were effective, and just when everyone was at a loss, they saw Mr. Gu come in with a smile.

"It's connected, it's connected." Mr. Gu said: "The United States dispatched a transport plane to transport our plane directly, we just need to dismantle the wings, go to the United States, and then assemble it." ”

The range of the fighter is not enough, but generally speaking, the range of the transport aircraft is very large and enough to use, as soon as Mr. Gu said this, Qin Feng was stunned: "The transport plane, what kind of big guy does it have to be?" ”

After all, the fighter jet is also very large, for example, the current J-8, the total length is more than 20 meters, even if the wings are removed, but the fuselage cannot be disassembled in half, what kind of transport plane does the United States have to launch?

C-130 is definitely not good.

"They have already coordinated a C-5 transport aircraft." Mr. Gu said: "Two planes, a nose model, were transported together. ”

C-5 transport aircraft? When he heard this, Qin Feng was also shocked, the Americans are really generous, they can actually dispatch such a big guy?

The largest domestic transport aircraft is the Yun-8, which is only a medium-sized transport aircraft, and the country has always been blank in terms of heavy transport aircraft and strategic transport aircraft.

As far as the United States and the Soviet Union are concerned, in order to achieve global deployment and global arrival capabilities, they have developed all kinds of advanced weapons, and in the field of transport aircraft, both sides are also showing their own coquettishness, and now the C-5 transport aircraft is the largest transport aircraft of the Americans!

As for how big it is, just one data is enough, its maximum take-off weight is close to 400 tons, almost ten times that of its own Yun-8!

With a maximum transport weight of more than a hundred tons, it is possible to carry two main battle tanks at once!

Bringing two J-8s over, that's definitely a trivial matter.

"Our runway isn't long enough, can their planes land?" Someone asked.

Generally speaking, the larger the plane, the longer the runway is needed, just look at the runway of civil aviation, this kind of heavy transport aircraft in the world comes here, is the runway enough?

Before the advent of the An-225 transport aircraft, which was specially developed for the space shuttle Buran, this kind of transport aircraft was almost the largest in the world, and it probably needed a runway of several kilometers, right?

The runway isn't long enough.

"Of course not." Qin Feng said: "This kind of transport aircraft does not look at the large size, but it also takes into account the problem of field conditions, people have a reverse thrust device, and it only takes less than five hundred meters of runway to land, now, let's wait, look at the most advanced transport aircraft!" ”

The country is backward in all aspects, take the aviation industry as an example, the gap in fighter planes, can also catch up through the research and development of the No. 10 project, but, in terms of transport aircraft, there is almost no technical reserve in China, just surveying and mapping the imitation of the An-12 transport aircraft Yun 8, is still flying test, this kind of large transport aircraft, it is impossible to get out of the country.

Moreover, the Americans made this kind of transport aircraft in the sixties, and after that, they also participated in the Vietnam War, airdropped on the battlefield and the like, which can be described as experienced. With the addition of in-flight refueling tubes, it has become an aircraft that can reach any corner of the world without landing, only due to the physical limitations of the crew.

This large strategic transport aircraft also has a resounding name, called the Milky Way, just by listening to this name, you will know how against the sky it is.

The development of the motherland's aviation industry is a long way to go.
