Chapter 14 Stabilize the plane

"What's going on?" Changing into a military uniform and sitting in the tower, Emily looked at the plane on the runway in the distance, and her face changed.

Even a layman can see that the wings suddenly up when the plane takes off, what does it mean?

"Eagles, eaglets, pay attention, your wings are folded." The tower's voice was also nervous, shouting at Nathan.

There is no echo in the headphones.

Nathan couldn't care about it for a while, when he opened the throttle full, he immediately hugged all the operating sticks behind him, the plane had to be pulled up in order to save the day, the distance was too short!

For this, he turned on the afterburner.

Aircraft engines are jet engines, the so-called afterburner, is at the back of the engine, add an additional combustion chamber, inject fuel into to continue burning, you can increase thrust, but fuel consumption will be greatly increased, in air combat, afterburner is used in the case of various complex maneuvers.

With Nathan's efforts, the Goblin fighter continued to accelerate until it was more than 300 kilometers per hour, and the Goblin fighter staggered away from the end of the runway and pulled up!

Just a few seconds later, it will rush off the runway.

"The eaglet received it, and asked to land." Nathan shouted over the radio, his voice still steady.

The common subjects of flying are take-off and landing, just after taking off, three turns and a circle, and then come back, aiming at the runway to land, it is very easy.

However, for a fighter who has already folded its wings, it is complicated.

As early as August 1960, an F-8 of the U.S. Navy took off from the Naples base in Italy, and when it climbed to an altitude of 1,500 meters, the pilot felt a little wrong, only to find that his wing was still in a folded state!

After a 24-minute flight, the F-8 landed safely back in Naples. Apart from landing much faster than normal, the F-8 suffered no other serious problems during this unusual flight.

And for the F-4 fighter, in 66 years, it happened once, and now it is the second time.

The control of the F-4 is much more complicated than that of the F-8, but Nathan's brain is extremely clear at this time.

"Turn on the oil switch." He shouted.

Steve in the back cabin is also very calm, in a two-person plane, both of them have to work closely together, and they have to trust each other immensely, such as now.

Steve turned on the fuel drain switch, and jet fuel erupted from the nozzle, creating a long fog strip behind the plane.

No one was going to admire the spectacle, and in the sunlight, the fog bands were a colorful sight, and Nathan was already oozing sweat from his forehead, and he struggled to use the rudder to stabilize the plane and get the plane flying level.

Because the wing is already in a folded state, the outer ailerons on the wing cannot be controlled, and it is difficult for the aircraft to maintain level flight, and as for the aircraft steering, it requires technology.

When pulled up, Nathan turned off the afterburner, and the plane waited to be conquered like a disobedient mustang.

If you want to steer, you can only rely on the engine! Nathan maxed out the thrust of the left engine, and the engine on the right was slow, and just like that, the Goblin began to slowly turn in the air!

In ordinary times, the aircraft steered, as long as the lever pedaled the rudder, but now it is not easy for the ghost to maintain level flight, and it can only be steered in this special way, which is also the benefit of twin-engine fighters.

"Eaglet, report the situation." Inside the command tower, the commanders of the air force were very nervous, and if the exchange students of the navy had an accident because of such a low-level mistake, no one present would be able to escape, and they would all have to take responsibility.

"The plane is normal, the rod force is a little large, I will try to control the plane as much as possible, please clear the runway." Nathan said.

Emily also sweated, she stood outside the tower, using a telescope to capture the ghost fighter that was spinning in a big circle, and she also had a lot of thoughts in her heart.

Could it be that last night's Air Force Craig was annoyed by the defeat of the game, and he did it? If it is really him, he will never tolerate it, and he must report it through the regular procedures to get rid of such scum.

After all, the contradiction between the navy and the air force is on the one hand, and when it rises to engage in mechanical accidents and harm people, that is the other hand, and this kind of behavior is really too bad.

However, from another point of view, this is also a good opportunity to show Nathan's flying skills, he has always been talking about how brave he is, and now he can finally see it.

The plane drew a circle with a radius of 5,000 meters in the air, circled back to the other end of the runway, and then, the ghost, which had not even retracted its landing gear, aimed at the runway.

Nathan's heart has calmed down, and the tension from the accident has returned to normal, because he has found the control of the flight and is able to stabilize the plane!

If you want to say that the only drawback, it is because of the small wing area, the wing load is particularly high, and the speed of the aircraft at this time is also very fast, a full 400 kilometers per hour!

It is quite difficult to land at this speed, and those guys in the Air Force may have to pee their pants, and for the pilots of carrier-based aircraft in the Navy, this is the daily situation.

Landing, landing again, steady, with a beautiful glide line, this ghost fighter with folded wings, in the eyes of everyone, fell.

In addition to the speed, everything else is perfect, and the skill of a pilot can be known by looking at his simple take-off and landing!

"Snort, snort!" Falling at high speed, the wheels of the main landing gear first slammed into the ground, making a screeching sound and leaving a black mark behind it, and then it glided steadily forward.

The landing gear in front also touched the ground, and all the hearts of all the people fell to the ground and landed smoothly!

Emily ran off the tower and got into a ground truck, and as the person in charge of the project, she had to be on the front line.

Stepping on the rudder with both feet at the same time, the ghost fighter shook slightly a few times, and the speed continued to slow down, and finally stopped.

By the time the hatch overhead was opened, the ground crew had already set up the ladder. Others began to scramble to check the wings, what the hell was going on? This is a serious accident!

"Nathan, Steve, are you alright?" Emily also arrived.

"It's okay, we won't go down." Nathan stood up and didn't get down the ladder: "Come on us, we're still waiting for heaven to teach people." ”
