At this time, Sukhoi's ace test pilot in the sky, Viktor Pugachev, who was flying in the sky, disconnected the telex system and operated it manually, and only then would it be possible to put the plane into a spiral, otherwise, the telex system would have avoided the plane from entering this state!

At a height of ten thousand, Pugachev calmly shouted over the radio: "Test machine No. 03, request to enter the tailspin state." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Yes."

With the order, Pugachev began a series of preparations, first locking the throttle and fixing the throttle in a slow state, the engine of this interceptor is not easy to wait, and it is easy to cause the engine to stop.

As the throttle slowed down, the plane began to slow down, and finally, the plane swayed from side to side as if drunk.

"1.2.3. Come on!". Pugachev shouted, and then vigorously kicked the left rudder. The lever then pressed the lever to the right to the end, and the huge fighter plane whizzed and swayed a few times. Quickly deflected to the left, and the tail spin of the Su-37 came quickly and violently.

The clouds were spinning rapidly, and the plane was spinning and descending sharply. Pugachev kept counting, looking at the time and laps of the tailspin.

Soon, it's time to change it! Pugachev's eyes are fixed on the dashboard. Keep all the data in the tail spin in mind.

Any pilot has to learn to change the tail spin, but they just need to fly according to the flight manual, and the test pilot needs to find out how to change the tail spin! Any pilot has a sense of fear of tailspin, and if he does not have a good psychological quality, it is difficult to withstand the huge psychological pressure in tailspin.

And Pugachev, who has flown many times Su-27 tail spin, is the first Su-27 tail spin he modified, the tail spin characteristics of the third-generation aircraft and the method of changing the tail spin are very different from the second generation fighter. Ordinary second-generation aircraft, as long as the brain is not dizzy, push the rod in the opposite direction to the end, and it can change the tail spin. However, the new aerodynamic layout with small wingload and high maneuverability is difficult.

In the original test flight of the MiG-23's tail spin, many test pilots paid the price of blood and finally changed it! This is a new way, including anti-rudder, pole holding, and pressing the lever.

At this time, the height is five thousand! Pugachev quickly followed the predetermined maneuver and carried out this tailspin maneuver, but the plane did not show the slightest sign of slowing down the rotation in the strong impact of the air current.

From the outside, the Su-37 seems to have reveled in the graceful arc of the tail spin and is reluctant to come out!

"Disconnect the differential flattail limiter!" The test flight commander shouted.

It's a last resort! Use the differential flat tail to help change the tail spin! Pugachev skillfully flipped the switch, disconnecting the limit of the flat tail, which was deflected at an angle of almost ninety degrees, with maximum control!

The plane finally reacted and the spin slowed down rapidly. Go to the tenth lap. The plane finally stopped spinning. The Su-37 held its head high and flew level again!

"The tailspin test flight was a success." Simonov said: "It's exactly what we imagined. ”

Just as imagined! Because, the Su-37's fuselage and the entire aerodynamic layout are completely similar to the Su-27, and the flight control rate of the aircraft is very similar, which greatly reduces the difficulty of aircraft design! It can even be said that in fact, the current Su-37 is not a new aircraft in the full sense of the word, it can be said that it is a stealth modification of the Su-27.

The slow progress of the Mikoyan Design Bureau is due to the fact that the MiG-1.44 is a completely new aircraft, the control of the canard layout is non-linear, and the programming of the fly-by-wire system alone takes a lot of time and effort!

The current tail spin test flight is also very similar to that of the Su-27, and in the process of test flight, a lot of experience can be used for reference, which will speed up even more.

The plane landed on the runway again, and out of the cockpit, Pugachev saw that at the front of the crowd that greeted him outside, Andrei, and immediately his face was full of excitement.

"Marshal Andrei, do you want to fly around?" Pugachev took off his helmet and said to Andrei.

This is an approachable general, and besides, this general is also a great pilot! Pugachev still remembers that when he flew the Su-27, Andrei once asked to fly around instead of him, but at that time, General Andrei only flew on the simulator, and as a result, he flew quite wonderfully!

Now, General Andrei came to the test flight base, does he still want to have fun?

However, before Andrei could speak, Pugachev on the side spoke: "Our plane has only added fuel for one flight sortie, and now, we still have to read the data of this test flight, so please Marshal Andrei bear with it first, and wait until there is a chance in the future, and then fly." ”

Are you kidding! Last time Andrei got on the Su-27, they all sweated, and this time, they couldn't let Andrey get on the plane directly!

Fortunately, Andrei did not plan to get on the plane directly, he was able to fly the Su-27 at the beginning, because it was originally his old job, the most familiar model, and now, although this aircraft is improved, the aerodynamic characteristics must have changed, if there is a two-seater type, you can go up and walk around, and now this single-seat type, forget it.

"Interpreting the data." It seemed that he was afraid that Andrei would get on the plane, and under Pugachev's order, many technicians surrounded him, opened the opening on the outer skin of the plane, and inserted the equipment.

Andre smiled, and didn't say anything to these people's hands and feet, and they also had good intentions.

A technician even opened the radome in front, Andrei looked at the shape of the exposed antenna, and he was excited, behind the antenna, there is no need for hydraulic motors and universal joints, it is completely fixed, because the radar beam flies out by changing the phase!

It's just that, compared with later generations, each T/R component seems to be larger.

"That's our advanced radar." Seeing Andrei's interest, Simonov said: "This radar, with 800 transmitting and receiving units, can converge all beams, sweep to a distance of 200 kilometers, and also disperse the beams, track ten targets at the same time, and launch an attack on two of them." ”

Eight hundred launch cells! After all, the times have only advanced to the beginning of 84! In later generations, this radar matured almost in the 21st century, when the American APG77 radar, with 2,200 transmitting units, had strong performance. And now, because the volume is still too large, it can accommodate 800 units!

Although there are only 800 of them, the performance is already quite strong, similar to the passive phased array radar of the MiG-31, but the power consumption is greatly reduced, the volume and weight are reduced, this is already a mature product!

After watching the radar, Andrei went up the gangway again to look at the cockpit, and sure enough, most of the instruments in the cockpit are still mechanical, and the kind of glass cockpit of later generations has not yet been realized, however, although there is no flat or three times, however, the most conspicuous position of the cockpit is still two LCD screens on the left and right, and the screen size far exceeds the radar screen of the cathode ray tube.

"In the cockpit, the second-generation LCD screen jointly developed by us and the island country is applied, the right is the radar, and the left is the integrated display, which can display a variety of flight data, can also receive positioning signals, display digital maps and so on." Simonov told Andrei.

He is quite satisfied with this cockpit, and thanks to the progress of his own electronic technology, he can install a large screen for the fighter! The data displayed far exceeds that of the instrument, and it can make the pilot more concentrated, especially for easy post-fact, and these data can be stored.

Andrei nodded: "Yes, we are making rapid progress on the electronic system, however, this is not enough, in the future, our fighters, it is better to be able to achieve a large screen, so the mechanical instruments are canceled." ”

That's the cockpit of the F35 in the future, it's extremely sci-fi, but it can definitely be realized!

Suddenly, Simonov was stunned, Marshal Andrey, are you so confident? Not a single mechanical instrument is used, what if these electronic instruments fail?

Looking at Simonov's expression, Andrei knew that people didn't believe it and didn't blame him, after all, electronic technology in this era is not enough! Many of the technologies of later generations are already science fiction in the eyes of the present.

After spending half a day in the test flight institute, Andrei planned to return to the Ministry of Defense, and in the car, Putin, the bodyguard and driver who came to pick him up, said to him while driving: "Marshal Andrei, we have already had the results of the investigation you requested.
