After they left the vicinity of the air show yesterday, they naturally did not return directly to Rongcheng. They stayed near a nearby Air Force Base because they did not want the enemy to discover where they were conducting test flights.
So naturally, we have to keep a low profile and choose to fly back at another time. The first day of the air show is over, Jiang Yan Hai and they stayed in this Air Force Base for a day.
It's even been on the air show, so you don't have to worry about being watched by your own people for a day. Almost all the pilots stationed at Air Force Base came over to watch it. After all, the speed of Mach 3 is too abnormal. Really, any pilot knows what this means.
They didn't expect that their country would study it so quietly. Now that the outside world knows about it, they naturally want to come over to see the high-definition picture and take pictures.
Of course, it is impossible for the photos to be circulated. It is all bragging among Military Network. Pilots from other bases cannot see it even if they want to see it. We here can already take photos with it.
It's okay for everyone to brag to people in other bases. It's impossible to leak secrets. All pilots know it, and it's impossible for them to send such photos to the outside world.
After resting for a night in this base, Jiang Yan Hai and the three of them got up early the next morning. They would fly directly back to Rongcheng base from here in the morning.
This place is less than 1,000 kilometers away from the Rongcheng secret base. The three fighter jets can fly back easily without adding auxiliary fuel tanks.
After bidding farewell to all the pilots, Jiang Yan Hai, Peregrine Falcon, and the three magpies boarded their respective fighter jets again, then took off in a straight-line shape, taxied at high speed, and flew straight into the sky.
As soon as it takes off, the probability of being caught is impossible.
"Hai Dongqing, when do you think we can drive the Phantom?" Peregrine Falcon asked.
"What? Are you tired of driving J20?" Jiang Yan Hai couldn't help but smile.
"That's not true. The problem is, the gap is a bit big, even though the J20 is also very good." Peregrine Falcon said with a smile, "No one wants to drive the most powerful one."
"It's estimated to be soon. Of course, I'm not sure if you start driving it, but if it's finalized, it shouldn't be far away. In a few months, if nothing unexpected happens, it can be finalized and produced. The question is how much the country will purchase in the first batch, I can't guarantee it." Jiang Yan Hai thought about it, but he was not sure either.
Procurement is definitely necessary. In fact, the purchase order has been signed. It is a purchase order of 12+48, which means that the first batch is 12 Phantoms, and this number will increase to 48 in the future.
But the time... it will probably be very long.
12 Phantoms, calculated based on the ex-factory price of one aircraft is 2.25 billion, which is a total of 27 billion! At this price, domestic military spending is really a bit tight! If it weren't for its extraordinary performance, I guess it wouldn't have purchased so many of them in the first batch!
Of course, it is not finalized now, but for the intended order, its finalization work still needs to continue with test flights. The subsequent test flights are estimated to be carried out by Jiang Yan Hai, because many high difficulties and high maneuvers, especially some high maneuvers at high speeds, can only be endured by Jiang Yan Hai's body.
"Okay, no matter what, I think I can hold on for a few more years. I have to feel the Phantom. However, I heard that after it exceeds the heat barrier, the temperature inside it will be very high. Is it very uncomfortable?" Peregrine Falcon asked curiously.
"Fortunately, if the material passes the test, the temperature outside is high, but the temperature inside is within a tolerable range, and we can't maintain Mach 3 for a long time." Jiang Yan Hai said with a smile.
This is the real power of the Phantom material. You must know that the temperature inside its cockpit is still within the bearable range of Jiang Yan Hai, or within the bearable range of the human body. This is its Composite Materials strength.
Of course, the one he uses is Titanium Alloy, but the design of the air conditioner has been strengthened, which makes it bearable. Moreover, the whole body he wears is somewhat similar to the look of an astronaut group.
The clothes he wears are all insulating.
The three fighter jets quickly approached the secret airport where they were while the three of them were chatting. As they approached the airport, Peregrine Falcon couldn't help but smile and said, "Hai Dongqing, do you want to have a fight with us? Let us experience the power of the Phantom?"
"Hey, that's right, Haidongqing and we are 2 on 1, you shouldn't be afraid, right?" Magpie also remembered something and said with a quick smile.
"Are you sorry? You are all quasi-Ace Pilot now." Jiang Yan Hai was a little speechless. These two are not rookies.
"You said it, it's Ace Pilot, now you are Ace Pilot." Magpie laughed and said.
"Control Tower! Haidongqing calls." Jiang Yan Hai stopped talking and simply called Control Tower.
"Control Tower received it, Haidongqing please speak."
"Peregrine Falcon Magpie requested to start fighting training with Haidongqing. I agreed and requested to enter the training area for fighting training. We also did the related performance test together." Jiang Yan Hai said.
"Hai Dongqing, are you sure there is nothing wrong?"
"No problem. Can't you see all the data? Besides, future flight tests will also include air combat flight tests."
"Understood. Report your fuel situation." Control Tower responded immediately.
"Fuel is good and ready to fight."
The three fighter jets are not short-legged like the J10. Although they have flown almost 1,000 kilometers, because they are economical flights, their fuel status is good, and there is no problem in conducting a combat training.
"Understood! You go to the scheduled airspace and wait for the relevant data test below to start." Control Tower should have communicated and responded.
"Hai Dongqing understands."
The three people quickly began to fly directly to the predetermined airspace according to Control Tower's instructions. When they arrived at the predetermined airspace, Jiang Yan Hai and their ears heard the voice of Old Liu: "Boy Jiang, pay close attention to the status of your fighter. Now test the high-altitude combat performance above 5,000 meters."
"Yes!" Jiang Yan Hai said quickly, but he spoke too slowly, so Old Liu probably didn't agree again.
The three-person fighter jets quickly began to climb to altitude. Close combat occurred at different altitudes. It was natural for dogfights to occur at mid- and high-altitudes. Each fighter's performance at mid- and high-altitudes was different.
Of course, one thing is common. If you have a abnormal engine, then your performance at high, high, and low altitudes will never be too bad.
