This fighter jet, codenamed Qinglong, is obviously more handsome than the original J10. The main reason is that the air inlet is flatter, especially the integration technology between the air inlet and the fuselage. Jiang Yan Hai I don't know how this is done, but at least, it now looks more fierce, more powerful and handsome.
Because the entire aircraft is integrated and manufactured to a higher degree and is more complete, its ability to withstand overload is stronger.
And if you want, it can even fly at supersonic speeds for the entire journey. Of course, the reason why it can fly the whole journey is because its fuel capacity is not enough for it to fly at supersonic speeds for 60 minutes, because its engine itself cannot cruise at supersonic speeds and needs to turn on afterburner.
After turning on afterburner, its fuel consumption will inevitably increase significantly.
But even so, compared to the previous models, it can now enter supersonic speeds without turning on afterburner. This in itself proves that domestic engines have begun to enter a critical point. The next explosion is probably directly the J20 being equipped with a new engine.
When the J20 can truly support supersonic cruise or even hypersonic cruise, its fighter jets will inevitably be upgraded to a higher level.
Although Jiang Yan Hai cannot drive J20 at this moment, J10S Azure Dragon at this moment can be regarded as piqued his interest. Because many of the technologies used on it are indeed the latest technologies of J20.
However, according to what they said, the cost of this fighter jet is probably much higher than that of the previous model, especially the cost of all the fusion technologies.
At this moment, what surprised Jiang Yan Hai was that not only was the J10 undergoing final painting, but on the side of its nose, where the pilot boarded the plane, three special red five-pointed stars that were larger than an adult's hand were being painted.
"Report, Chief... this?" Jiang Yan Hai looked at the red five-pointed star spray-painted with some astonishment. Traditionally, this is a downing mark.
The down mark is different in different countries. In some countries, it is a circle with an empty five-pointed star in the middle, and then there is a long horizontal bar in the middle of the circle.
Others simply spray the miniature pattern of the aircraft they destroyed directly on the aircraft. In addition, there are different planes that spray villains, bombs, and other things.
But the domestic Pentagram spray originated from the period of resisting U. S. aggression and aiding Korea.
This tradition was gradually inherited.
"What are you afraid of, kid? If you shoot it down, mark it! The real ace is what people can see! It is used to inspire people! As for who is flying the plane, who cares about you." The old man looked at Jiang Yan Hai and waved his hand angrily.
Jiang Yan Hai: "..." Okay, as long as you are willing.
Just like that, Jiang Yan Hai looked at his first fighter jet, and his little wife was spray-painted with three dazzling stars.
The painting of the stars was completed soon, and the ground crew inside were still doing the final finishing work, but the two responsible ground crew members had already walked over.
"Let me introduce to you. This is your future ground crew chief, Dong Kejiang, the mechanic, and this is Zheng Ling, the ordnance officer." The old man introduced Jiang Yan Hai to two ground crew members who were about forty years old and came over.
"Hello, Chief!" The leading ground crew member immediately gave Jiang Yan Hai a military salute without saying anything.
Jiang Yan Hai hurriedly returned a military salute to them, and then said, "Brother Dong, Brother Zheng will trouble you in the future."
"You're too polite. We will be a group from now on. If you have any questions, just tell us, such as spray painting." Dong Kejiang Although he is not young, his personality is obviously more cheerful, look at the military rank on his shoulders.
Not an officer, a non-commissioned officer, Third Class Sergeant Major, and the Zheng Ling next to him is also Third Class Sergeant Major. These are all veterans who have served for at least seventeen or eighteen years.
And those who are busy at the back are almost all Fourth Class Sergeant Major. These ground staff are obviously the elite of the elite.
"No problem. Then I'll have to trouble Brother Dong and Brother Zheng from now on." Jiang Yan Hai doesn't dare to show off his seniority to others. These Third Class Sergeant Major benefits are all at the level of the main camp and deputy camp.
"Okay, Xiaodong, you go and get busy." The old man next to him waited for them to finish their greetings, and then waved his hand.
"Yes!" Dong Kejiang and Zheng Ling immediately saluted with a military salute and then went to work.
"Little guy, let me tell you some things to note about this fighter jet. Its biggest change is the enhanced mobility. Although modern missiles are becoming more and more powerful, it is almost impossible to defeat missiles by maneuvering, but maneuvering can still create countless limits and miracles."
"The biggest boost to maneuvering is naturally the engine. To put it bluntly, with a powerful engine, even if your maneuvering layout is not up to standard, as long as your engine is powerful enough, it will be enough to allow you to make the maneuvers you want. This time can be considered an extreme test of our engine."
"So when you usually fly, don't be afraid of affecting the life of the engine. Just go ahead and have fun. Let me tell you this. Our new engine is designed to have an overhaul time of 1,200 hours and a lifespan of 2,000 hours. If you can destroy it in 800 hours, I thank you." The old man said seriously.
"Yes!" Jiang Yan Hai immediately gave a serious military salute.
"It has a complete set of data transmission devices on it. Your data will usually be transmitted to your ground station. We will keep in touch with them at any time. Xiao Dong and Xiao Zheng will copy the data you complete every day."
"Although it has been tested, it was not exposed because it was tested in a secret base. But now if you fly it, we are not afraid of being exposed, so you don't have to worry about this."
"One thing to remember is that although the test flight is completed, there may still be some problems overall. If you find any problems, please contact us as soon as possible. Of course, you can also tell us some of your experience in using it."
"Yes! Chief!" Jiang Yan Hai gave a serious military salute.
"Okay, after the preparations here, you can go. After you go back, you can't fly today. Lao Dong and the others will go directly there in the large Military Aircraft, because there are various accessories and some logistics materials prepared for it. You can start tomorrow. You will not be left here."
"Understood!"
From beginning to end, the old man did not introduce his identity. The others just listened and did not express any opinions. They also recorded something in their notebooks from time to time, but Jiang Yan Hai did not pay attention either.
Don't ask what you shouldn't ask.
Dong Kejiang's original work has basically been completed. They have given instructions to Jiang Yan Hai here, and Dong Kejiang's side has also completed all the work.
Jiang Yan Hai immediately walked over and started to hand over to them.
The hangar door has been fully opened, and the tow truck outside has arrived, waiting to pull the green dragon outside at any time.
