Chapter 208 The hand runner is broken!
Three J-10s were escorted throughout the process!
It seems to be stunning, but Zhou Hai, who is an active flying officer, deeply understands that these three J-10s have another mission and a hidden mission.
If the left-wing engine of the passenger plane stops and strikes, it will fall into the worst situation, and when necessary, three J-10s will destroy the passenger plane.
He was calm inside, without any tension or worry, although Zhou Hai was not sure whether he could survive.
This is a gamble!
He could only pray that when the left-wing engine was manufactured, the workers in the production workshop of Pratt & Whitney Company were not lazy and did the manufacturing truthfully according to regulations.
The shocking hole in the cabin head is filled with huge airflow like a torrent every moment, and combined with low temperature and low pressure and high-speed movement of the aircraft, the cockpit is completely a forbidden area for humans.
Ordinary people will die in this environment for up to ten minutes.
The Puhui PW4000 turbofan engine, which was prayed and filled with hope by Zhou Hai, maintains the full load state and outputs the maximum propulsion force. As we all know, it is difficult for any precision machinery or equipment to maintain a long-term full load operation, and mechanical failures will inevitably occur over time.
However, the reality requires that the entire engine must remain in full load and output maximum propulsion. Otherwise, the passenger plane will slow down due to insufficient power and stall until it is stalled, which will eventually lead to a crash.
Moreover, although the PW4000 turbofan engine is reliable and strong enough, technical data shows that the aircraft can continue to fly for 180 minutes under the operating conditions of a single unit, but another indisputable fact is in front of you.
The thrust-to-weight ratio of the entire aircraft is reduced by half, and the impact of this situation is that its own speed and altitude continue to decline.
The flight altitude gradually decreases by three meters per second, and the speed slowly passes like an hourglass.
But fortunately, after rigorous and meticulous mathematical calculations, Zhou Hai obtained good news that as long as the left-wing engine lasted for half an hour, the entire flight could arrive at Shicheng Airport.
At this time, the lives of more than 300 people in the entire aircraft, including Zhou Hai, were tied to the left-wing engine.
Reduce the altitude and speed, and pray that the engine on the left will not be shot down by the J-10, which is accompanied by the flight and escort, and finally land safely. - This is what Zhou Hai thinks now.
In the sky, three J-10 fighter jets, accompanied the Boeing 777-200 passenger planes to fly smoothly, form a temporary formation, and head straight to Shicheng Airport in the southwest.
"Flight CZ8954, how are you doing? Do you need to make an emergency landing nearby?" At this time, the voice of the Shicheng Airport controller sounded: "Your speed and altitude are decreasing."
"The left engine works normally, and the fuselage is temporarily stable. It will arrive over Shicheng Airport in about 30 minutes." Zhou Hai looked through the metal hole and looked at the white clouds with different shapes outside.
This was the first time he had breathed air at an altitude of 8,000 meters.
Hearing Zhou Hai's answer, the three J-10 pilots and the airport tower all breathed a sigh of relief, and silently encouraged Zhou Hai and the entire flight.
"That's good, by the way, you have reported damage to the airborne avionics before, please point out in detail where the damage was caused." The airport tower controller continued to ask: "We need to check the information to prevent the aircraft from worsening further."
"The LCD monitor on the far right is damaged, the horizon is damaged... the tower, uh, there is a problem."
Zhou Hai carefully observed the situation in the cabin and gave each of the damaged areas and parts. When he saw a black rotor with English characters written on it broken on the avionics equipment, he was stunned.
"What's the question, please tell me."
"I remember to cooperate with the landing gear retraction and reel system, right?"
"That's right."
"The hand-crank wheel breaks, and the control equipment is damaged."
“…”
There was no sound at the airport tower, everyone's hearts rose instantly, and their chests seemed to be pressed down, and they were almost suffocating.
The landing gear hand-crank wheel breaks and the control equipment is damaged! - Everyone in the aviation field knows what this situation means.
silence.
despair.
The atmosphere almost solidified.
The three J-10 pilots flying with fighter planes escorting, as well as the highest combat command center that monitors flight communications in real time, were also speechless.
Everyone can only pray that a flight can create a miracle, a miracle that cannot happen.
The sky is blue and the sun is shining.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, the flight staggered into the outer airspace of Shicheng Airport with a tilted body, leaving only about 40 kilometers away from the core of the airport.
The aircraft's altitude has dropped from 8900 meters to 4400 meters, and its speed has dropped from 820 kilometers to 450 kilometers per hour.
The spacious and Shicheng Airport has entered Zhou Hai's sight.
"Dear passengers, I am the temporary captain of this flight. I'm now notifying two things."
Zhou Hai's face was calm. Looking at the Shicheng Airport getting closer and closer, he made a decision in his heart, opening the undamaged cabin management system and connecting it to the cabin broadcast: "First, the plane is heading to the destination and is about five minutes later to prepare for a forced landing. Please keep order and take anti-collision measures. Second, since the plane is in poor condition, please ask the flight attendant to write a suicide note to each passenger."
Forced landing, anti-collision, poor aircraft condition, suicide note.—
A series of contents were transmitted to the cabin through the in-cabin communication system. The 326 passengers and all crew members fell into silence. The atmosphere was so depressing that it was almost suffocating. Some female passengers were crying.
"Xiaochun, will we die? What should we write for the suicide note?" Lin Yu pinched her hands and turned pale, her face full of worry, and her thoughts were gone.
Jiang Xiaochun held the pencil tightly in his right hand, grabbed the handrail with his left hand, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we must believe in him and the People's Liberation Army."
Zhang Peng stayed in the economy class, endured his smoking addiction, touched the watch with his wife's avatar as the background pattern, and was tall and straight, assisting the flight attendant and the flight attendant to take out the emergency items and distribute the paper and pens to the passengers.
Time passes by minute by minute. After the passengers wrote the suicide note, the flight attendants also wrote the suicide note, put it into the cabin storage cabinet, then checked the passenger's seat belts, each entering the spare position, and taking anti-collision measures.
Immediately after Zhou Hai issued an application to the tower, he turned on the airborne oil volume controller and discharged oil in the air.
There is still as much as 50% of the onboard fuel left, and carrying a large amount of high-quality aviation fuel for emergency landing is simply seeking death.
Put oil!
Tens of thousands of aviation fuel flew down, forming a white oil mist on the back of the wing. It was an open space below and there was less crowding. There was no need to worry about a large amount of aviation fuel falling from the sky while the people were cooking, and a fuel bath that no one wanted to take.
After the standby fuel volume dropped from 50% to 5%, Zhou Hai turned off the wing oil discharge switch and made preparations before landing.
Chapter completed!
