Chapter IX Test Pilots and Designers

After hearing Mr. Song’s question, Qin Feng scratched the back of his head: “I’m thinking about these things myself. Almost half of the allowances I’ve given are used to buy domestic and foreign journals. I’ve read a lot of European and American aviation magazines.”

That's right, Qin Feng is a studious person. After becoming a test pilot, Qin Feng not only needs to fly various test flight subjects, but also wants to master the forefront of aviation.

Just when China was still repairing and repairing the second-generation aircraft, foreign countries had already begun to enter the third-generation aircraft sequence. The first to complete the development of the third-generation aircraft was the United States.

The F-14 Tomcat is the world's first third-generation aircraft. It has been in service in 1972, followed by the F-15 Eagle, which was delivered in 1974. The most recent one is the F-16 Fighting Falcon, which has also begun to enter the US Air Force in large quantities this year. They have begun to replace the third-generation aircraft.

These aircraft do not pay attention to high-altitude and high-speed speeds. For example, the F-16 has less than Mach 2 at the extreme speed, but they have excellent maneuverability.

The United States is different from the country, and they will not keep it secret. They are eager to promote their advanced technology to the outside world, showing that their technological capabilities are strong.

Therefore, they can blow the ceiling to the bottom of the wing body, the high-thrust turbofan engine, the thrust-weight ratio is as high as 8, and the side rod system.

Of course, if you just look at the appearance and want to copy it, it is definitely nonsense. Only the Zotye tape measure in later generations can do it, and that is only limited to the car shell.

Although it will not go backwards, it can also give people a lot of inspiration. Qin Feng’s argument just now is obtained from international magazines. You can find some important things by removing the false and retaining the truth.

"Qin Feng." The expression on Mr. Song's face became solemn: "We have applied to our superiors. During the development of the J-9, I hope the test pilots can join in and participate in the design of the aircraft. Are you willing to join our development team?"

After hearing Mr. Song's words, Qin Feng couldn't believe his ears: "No way? Mr. Song, I'm too young, can I?"

Qin Feng is indeed too young. Although he is already an excellent test pilot, in fact, he is only in his early twenties. In the vigorous revolutionary movement, Qin Feng did not devote all his time to research flight, so he made today's progress.

Although Qin Feng has confidence in him, he is too young after all. It would be great to be able to test flights of the J-7 now. He still has to participate in the development of the new J-7?

There are many old flying people who are more experienced than me. In the test flight yard, there are many of their predecessors.

Faced with Qin Feng's question, Mr. Song did not answer, but could only sigh in his heart.

Why choose Qin Feng? Because Mr. Song already had a premonition that the development of the new jiao must be full of hardships and the time has been quite long. It is absolutely impossible for the United States to create a new jiao in four or five years.

The aircraft needs to be designed in preliminary design, detailed design, etc. This is a long process, which will involve a very serious problem.

Now that you choose someone with rich experience, that's fine, but when the new Jang is created, the selected test pilot may be too old to fly.

Song always was mentally prepared for the hardships of this process, and of course he could not tell Qin Feng about these.

We must encourage young comrades and cheer for them.

"Comrade Qin Feng, do you have no confidence in yourself?" asked Mr. Song: "In our plan like this, the test pilot can be said to be the customer representative of the Air Force in the aviation department, half of the chief designer. If you think it is too difficult..."

Nowadays, domestic aircraft are inherited from the Soviet Union. This routine is very simple. The designer designed it and handed it over to the aircraft factory for manufacturing, and then "stopped" it for the pilot.

In other words, pilots must adapt to the plane.

The flight manual will tell the pilot that the aircraft has a long list of problems of all sizes. When flying, you must always beware of the aircraft entering a range that may induce these problems. Then the pilot can gradually develop the aircraft's flight performance after a long and painful adaptation process.

During this period, people who are well adapted will fly, and people who are not well adapted may fall!

Not to mention anything else, just those chaotic instruments are stuffed in by the designers, and the pilots either adapt or get out of here.

And in the development of new machines, this situation must be avoided.

The pilot has the most say in how to arrange various instruments, so aircraft design cannot be separated from pilots. We must try to design the aircraft's control interface in the way the pilot adapts to achieve human-machine integration.

However, new problems arise: designers can’t fly, and pilots don’t understand design!

There is no problem abroad. Many foreign designers were test pilots when they were young. When they retired, they might design aircraft. Under this rolling system, there will always be designers with test pilots.

Now, start from yourself.

Mr. Song thought silently in his heart.

Now, after hearing Mr. Song say this, Qin Feng feels a surge of passion. How can a young man say that he is not good?

"Old Song, I can." Qin Feng said: "I promise to complete the task!"

This sentence was said very loudly, and half of the corridor could be heard clearly.

"Okay, young people should be so motivated." Mr. Song said: "Now, it's too late. You go back and rest first. After I report to my superiors and approve it, you can participate. By the way, wasn't there just a danger today? You should pay attention to rest."

"Yes, Mr. Song, you can rest too." Qin Feng said.

He is a young man and can stand it, while Mr. Song is already an old man in his fifties.

"I, let's summarize today's data." Mr. Song said.

As he was talking, suddenly the phone ringing on Mr. Song’s desk rang.

When he picked up the phone, Mr. Song had a serious expression: "Yes, Minister Duan, it's me."

"Okay, I understand. We will definitely complete the task assigned to us by our superiors." Old Song looked serious at the other side of the phone.

In the principle of confidentiality, don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked. However, Qin Feng just seemed to have heard something MiG 21MF in a vague way?

"Old Mr. Song, are you busy first?" Qin Feng asked tentatively, actually wanting to say, is there anyone I can help?

"Oh, the plan can't keep up with the changes." Mr. Song said to Qin Feng: "You go back and have a good rest. After two days, you need to go on a business trip."

"Where to go?" Qin Feng couldn't help but ask.

If Mr. Song doesn’t say it, it’s all right, it’s just that he won’t be able to sleep when he goes back tonight.
