Three J-10s escorted the whole process!

It seems to be glorious and shocking, but Zhou Hai, as an active pilot, deeply understands that these three J-10s have another mission, a hidden mission.

If the left wing engine of the airliner stops again and strikes, it will fall into the worst-case scenario, and at the necessary moment, three J-10s will destroy the airliner.

The heart is calm, there is no tension and worry, although Zhou Hai is not sure if he will survive.

It's a gamble!

He can only pray that when the left-wing engine was manufactured, the workers in the production workshop of Pratt & Whitney Company were not lazy and truthfully manufactured according to the regulations.

The shocking hole in the bow of the cabin, which is pouring into a huge amount of air like a torrent all the time, combined with the low temperature and low pressure and the high-speed movement of the aircraft, makes the cockpit completely forbidden to humans.

Ordinary people stay in this environment, and they will die in ten minutes at most.

Pratt & Whitney P4000 turbofan engine, which is prayed for and infused with hope by Zhou Hai, maintains the maximum propulsion output at full load, as we all know, it is difficult for any precision machinery and equipment to maintain full load work for a long time, and mechanical failure will inevitably occur over time.

However, the reality is that the entire engine must be at full load and output maximum propulsion, otherwise the airliner will slow down due to lack of power, until it stalls, and eventually crashes.

And, although the P4000 turbofan engine is reliable and robust enough, and the technical data shows that a single engine can keep the aircraft flying for 180 minutes, there is an indisputable fact in front of us.

The thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole aircraft, which is already pitiful, has dropped by half, and the impact of this situation is that its own speed and altitude continue to decline.

The flight altitude gradually decreases at three meters per second, and the speed of the flight is like an hourglass.

But fortunately, after rigorous and meticulous mathematical calculations, Zhou Hai got the good news, as long as the left-wing engine lasted for half an hour, the whole flight could arrive at Shicheng Airport.

At this time, the lives of more than 300 people on the plane, including Zhou Hai, were tied to the left-wing engine.

Drop the altitude, lose the speed, pray that the left engine is running normally, and will not be knocked down by the J-10 escorting the escort, and finally land safely. ——This is Zhou Hai's inner thoughts now.

In the sky, three J-10 fighters wrapped in silver accompanied the Boeing 777-200 passenger plane to fly smoothly, formed a temporary formation, and went straight to Shicheng Airport in the southwest.

"Flight CZ8954, how is your situation, do you need to make a forced landing nearby?" At this time, the voice of the Shicheng Airport controller sounded: "Your speed and altitude are decreasing. ”

"The left engine is working normally, the fuselage is temporarily stable, and it will arrive over Shicheng Airport in about 30 minutes." Zhou Hai looked through the metal hole and looked at the white clouds of different shapes outside.

It was the first time he had breathed air at an altitude of 8,000 meters.

Hearing Zhou Hai's answer, the three J-10 pilots and the airport tower all breathed a sigh of relief, and silently cheered for Zhou Hai and the entire flight in their hearts.

"That's good, by the way, you reported damage to the onboard avionics, please specify where the damage was." The airport tower controller continued: "We need to check the information to avoid further deterioration of the aircraft's condition. ”

"The LCD display on the far right is damaged, and the horizon is damaged...... Tower, uh, there's a problem. ”

Zhou Hai carefully observed the situation in the cabin, gave the damaged areas and parts one by one, and was stunned when he saw a black runner with English characters broken on the avionics equipment.

"What's the problem, please tell me."

"The landing gear retraction system, I remember to work with the pedals and the hand wheels, right?"

"That's right."

"The hand rotor is broken, and the control equipment is damaged."

“……”

There was no sound from the airport tower, and everyone's hearts instantly lifted, and their chests seemed to be pressed by someone, almost suffocating.

The landing gear hand crank wheel is broken, and the control equipment is damaged! – Everyone in the aviation industry knows what this means.

Silent.

Despair.

The atmosphere is almost frozen.

The three J-10 pilots who flew with fighter planes to escort the escort, as well as the top combat command center that monitored the flight communications in real time, were also silent.

All can only pray that the flight will work a miracle, a miracle that cannot happen.

The sky is blue and the sun is shining.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon, the flight staggered into the airspace outside Shicheng Airport with an inclined body, and it was only about forty kilometers away from the core of the airport.

The altitude of the aircraft has dropped from 8900 meters to 4400 meters, and the speed has dropped from 820 kilometers to 450 kilometers per hour.

The spacious and Shicheng Airport has entered Zhou Hai's sight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the temporary captain of this flight, and I would like to inform you of two things."

Zhou Hai's face was calm, looking at Shicheng Airport, which was getting closer and closer, and made a decision in his heart, opening the cabin management system that had not yet been damaged, and accessing the in-cabin broadcast: "First, the plane is heading to its destination, and it will be ready to make a forced landing in about five minutes, please keep order and take anti-collision measures." Second, due to the current poor state of the plane, ask the flight attendant to write a suicide note to each passenger with a pen and paper. ”

Forced landing, anti-collision, poor state of the aircraft, suicide note. ——

A series of contents were transmitted to the cabin through the in-cabin communication system, and the 326 passengers and all the crew on the plane fell silent, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating, and some female passengers burst into tears.

"Xiaochun, are we going to die? What to write in the suicide note," Lin Yu's hands turned white, his face was full of worry, and his thoughts were completely gone.

Jiang Xiaochun held the pencil tightly in his right hand, grabbed the handrail with his left hand, and nodded again and again: "Yes, we have to believe in him and the People's Liberation Army." ”

Zhang Peng stayed in the economy class, endured the onset of cigarettes, touched the watch with his wife's portrait as the background pattern, stood tall, assisted the flight attendant and the police to take out emergency supplies, and distributed pieces of paper and pens to the passengers.

Time passed minute by minute, and after the passengers wrote their suicide notes, the flight attendants also wrote suicide notes, put them into the cabin goods storage cabinet, and then checked the passengers' seat belts, and entered the vacant positions to take anti-collision measures.

Immediately afterwards, after Zhou Hai sent an application to the tower, he turned on the on-board fuel controller and carried out air oil discharge.

With as much as 50% of the fuel on board left, carrying a large amount of high-quality aviation fuel for a forced landing is simply looking for death.

Drain the oil!

Aviation fuel worth hundreds of thousands of dollars flew down, forming a white oil mist behind the wings, and the lower part belonged to the open space, with less crowds, but there was no need to worry about a large amount of aviation fuel falling from the sky when the people were cooking, and no one wanted to take a fuel bath.

After the on-board fuel capacity was quickly reduced from 50% to 5%, Zhou Hai turned off the wing fuel drain switch and prepared for landing.
