Chapter 1013 Can this still fly?

The Liaoning aircraft carrier has a very special identity and has an irreplaceable position in the navy, even though the Guangsheng aircraft carrier has been officially put into service now.

However, the Chinese still cannot forget the Liaoning, the first aircraft carrier in China.

The Varyag aircraft carrier, which was born in the former Soviet Union, fulfilled the nearly 100-year aircraft carrier dream of the Chinese Navy and the aircraft carrier dream of hundreds of millions of people, making China one of the world aircraft carrier clubs and one of the top three players.

The hull number 16, code-named pomegranate, has a full load displacement of up to 67,500 tons. The aircraft carrier Liaoning, which is sailing on the sea, shows its unique temperament as a maritime overlord.

"Call Liaoning, No. 101 requests landing." Zhou Hai issued a landing application to the Liaoning aircraft carrier island in accordance with the standard carrier-based aircraft landing process.

In a blink of an eye, the other end of the communication channel sounded from the airline boss Jiang Xianyun's calm voice: "I received the Liaoning. I am the aviation director of the main flight control room. Your aircraft will be commanded and dispatched by me. Please mark the route according to the tactical air navigation system, continue to fly for 25 kilometers, and enter the waiting route."

"No. 101 received and is following the marked route." The sharp eye aimed at present the marked route data sent from the main flight control room. Zhou Hai immediately replied, with his right push rod, controlling the J-15C under him to lean forward and reduce the flight altitude.

The scarred tiger shark steadily lowered its flight altitude and slowly flew towards the Liaoning aircraft carrier under the guidance of the tactical air navigation system.

At the same time, the air traffic control radar installed on the top pole of the aircraft carrier island always locks the J-15C in the first landing order, obtains flight parameters such as dynamically changing azimuth and speed, formulates corresponding landing routes, and then passes the parameters to the J-15C through the tactical air navigation system.

The aviation chief Jiang Xianyun stared at the radar screen with his eyes and his face was extremely serious. According to the information given by the regiment commander Luo Xiannian, the J-15C was seriously damaged and the airborne fuel was seriously insufficient to support the resumption of flight.

The inability to support the return of flight means that there is only one opportunity to land.

If the landing fails, it is not an accident on the second-class ship or an accident on the first-class ship.

The current situation is something he has never encountered since he became an aviation boss.

The air traffic control radar operates efficiently, and various departments and ground staff in the landing area constantly give back various information. Jiang Xianyun issued orderly instructions to Zhou Hai to guide him to land.

The altitude continues to decline, and the speed decreases.

Bathed in the sun, as the distance between the two sides continued to get closer, the Liaoning aircraft carrier became larger and larger, and had gone from a vague small dot to a sea giant visible to the naked eye.

The No. 101 J-15C spans 25 kilometers for the last distance, with altitude dropping to about 500 meters, and its speed drops to 380 kilometers per hour. According to the guidance of the air tactical navigation system, it successfully entered the waiting route about ten kilometers away from the Liaoning aircraft carrier.

Looking at the Liaoning aircraft carrier ten kilometers away, Zhou Hai's right-hand pull rod was leveled and flew out. The report said: "Report, the current distance is 10,000 meters, the speed is 205 knots, and the height is 500. 101 requested to enter the landing route."

"No. 101 is allowed to enter the landing route, with the speed dropping to about 180 knots and the altitude dropping to 380 meters. Enter the circular landing route from the left side of the aircraft carrier." Jiang Xianyun picked up the telephone and immediately approved Zhou Hai's request.

Since the Liaoning and the J-15C are in an opposite direction, the J-15C needs to enter the circular landing route to achieve landing.

"No. 101 is received and is being executed." The throttle valve was pulled down and the joystick was slightly pushed forward. Zhou Hai controlled the J-15C "Tiger Shark" weighing about 20 tons under him, and continued to reduce the flight altitude and speed until it complies with the long-term aviation command. The entire silver-gray war eagle kept approaching the Liaoning in front.

9000 meters.

8000 meters.

7000 meters.

6000 meters.

The roar of the WS-10C vector turbofan engine has resounded throughout the sea area and entered the ears of a group of ground crew members and carrier-based aircraft pilots on the Liaoning aircraft carrier. The noble and holy body like a white swan entered the sight and attracted everyone's attention.

The distance between the two sides continued to get closer. After dozens of seconds, the entire war eagle flew past the left side of the Liaoning at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour and entered the circular landing route.

"Be good, what did this J-15C do..." In the flight control room of the main ship island, Jiang Xianyun, the aviation chief, looked at the tiger shark passing by at high speed, and was extremely surprised. Maybe he could not see the deck very clearly, but he, standing at the highest point of the island, could see clearly.

The J-15C, numbered 101, is covered with scars beyond imagination.

God, where did this injury come from?!

No one answered this question.

After the entire war eagle passed by the Liaoning, it maintained a height of 380 meters and flew along the circular route for about 2 kilometers. The aviation boss Jiang Xianyun then gave the latest air traffic control instructions: "Call No. 101, prepare to enter the field and land, turn right, the speed drops to 160 knots, the altitude drops to 180 meters, and enters the glide path."

"No. 101 received it and is steering. The current distance is 2,000 meters, the speed is being reduced to 160 knots, and the altitude is being reduced to 180 meters. I request to enter the field to land." Zhou Hai responded immediately, pressing the pole and stepping on the rudder, adjusting the flight attitude and steering, while sending a landing application to the main flight control room according to the standard landing process.

"No. 101, the current aircraft carrier speed is 30 knots, the wind speed is 3, 3.5 meters per second, and the horizontal floating degree of the hull is 0.8 degrees. You are allowed to land and the landing command platform is connected to the landing command platform." In the airborne communication channel, Jiang Xianyun immediately passed Zhou Hai's landing request to give parameters such as wind speed and the current horizontal floating degree of the aircraft carrier, and immediately turned to the landing command platform.

The main flight control room is responsible for the overall operation, and the landing command platform is responsible for guiding the specific operation of landing.

"No. 101 received and is entering the venue." After turning, staring at the clearly visible flight deck of the Liaoning ahead, Zhou Hai's face was natural, his right hand movements were gentle and careful, reducing the flight altitude at a low sliding rate of about ten meters per second, and steadily reached 180 meters.

Gu Yang has an altitude of 180 meters and a speed of 160 knots.

Successfully reached the predetermined altitude, the entire war eagle was at a low altitude to fly across the sea. Zhou Haitou rod was levelled and flew out, and it was steadily approaching the Liaoning aircraft carrier, which was more than 1,000 meters away.

Almost while completing this action, a voice with a Shanzhou accent came. On the port side of the aircraft carrier, the landing commander of the aircraft carrier was connected to the port, and the landing commander issued an order: "No. 101, this is the landing command platform of the Liaoning. I am the landing commander. The deck has been cleared. The four blocking ropes have been arranged. Maintain the current landing route of your aircraft, and the sliding rate. Put down the tail hook and landing gear, and open the aileron."

"No. 101 received it, and is lowering the tail hook and landing gear, opening the flap and ailerons."

Zhou Hai did not hesitate and quickly followed the instructions of the landing commander. During the landing process of the carrier-based aircraft, the orders given by the landing commander must be unconditionally obeyed and absolutely trusted.

Immediately afterwards, the speed reduction plate on the back of the fuselage was opened, the normal working right flap aileron was opened, the main and auxiliary landing gear was poked out from the abdomen of the fuselage, and a thick and sturdy metal tail hook was activated.

The landing of the ship is ready, and the next step is the most difficult step in the entire landing process - landing.

The current distance is 1,000 meters and continues to be shortened.

"No. 101, the altitude drops to 110 meters, the sliding rate remains 10 meters per second, and the entry angle is maintained." The landing commander is more concerned about the No. 101 J-15C, which maintains a standard landing attitude, tracks and observes the flight attitude and angle in real time, and constantly gives guidance instructions.

Zhou Hai was highly focused and controlled the war eagle under him to continuously adjust his flying posture, entering the glide passage at the most standard sliding rate and angle.

When approaching the aircraft carrier, not only will the aircraft carrier shake up and down, but also the cross wind blowing from the sea. If the wind speed is too fast, it will deviate the fuselage and eventually lead to the failure of the landing.

"Landing is allowed." Pay attention to the situation of the J-15C in the Sky, and the landing commander is serious. After confirming that the No. 101 aircraft meets the landing conditions, an order will be issued immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the landing dispatcher controlled the Fresnel optical landing system and shot a fixed light of green reference light that symbolized the allowable sliding towards the tiger shark in the sky.

“Landing is coming in and landing.”

The lights from Fresnel's optical landing aid system entered the sight. Zhou Hai breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the narrow flight deck in front of him, controlled the fighter to maintain the current descent rate and landing angle, and faced the deck landing runway hundreds of meters away.

"boom!"

The roar of the two WS-10C ‘Taihang’ vector turbofan engines is endless and echoing in the sky.

Under the attention of the aviation chief Jiang Xianyun, the landing commander, and a group of carrier-based pilots in the aircraft carrier vulture corridor, under the gaze of an aircraft carrier ground crew, Zhou Hai drove the wounded J-15C toward the landing runway area of ​​the aircraft carrier deck, locking the third blocking cable across the surface of the deck runway.

Angle standard, speed standard, height standard!

Zhou Hai stared at the third blocking cable that was getting closer and closer. After a second, a color appeared in his eyes. He pushed the joystick forward like a hunter, controlling the entire J-15C "Tiger Shark" to hit the deck runway.

This is a controllable crash exclusively in the field of carrier-based aircraft!

Most importantly, this is a controllable crash without a chance to resume flights!

If you fail, you will be successful.

The J-15C weighing about 20 tons hit the deck runway hard. The main and auxiliary landing gear touched the extremely rough surface of the metal deck runway, endured extremely high instantaneous impact force, and the fuselage was violently bumped, and a reaction force was transmitted to the back.

Then, the metal tail hook located at the end of the fuselage accurately hooked the third blocking cable. The high-speed war eagle immediately slowed down, and the kinetic energy contained in it poured into the aircraft carrier damper equipment through the blocking cable.

A second later, under the gaze of all the ground crew, the No. 101 J-15C, which was controlled by the crash at 300 kilometers per hour, finally stopped moving forward under the action of the obstruction cable.

Landed successfully!

"Fortunately..." Zhou Hai breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the throttle with his left hand to reduce the fuel supply, and shut down the engine as quickly as possible.

Two vector turbofan engines that roared quickly weakened their momentum and no longer output high thrust.

At this moment, the whole audience was silent.

The ground crew and carrier-based pilots around the deck were almost stunned. They could not believe their eyes because, in their perception, the scars on the fighter's body in front of them could not support flight at all.

Scars!

Looking around, there are injuries everywhere!
