Chapter 647 Special Moment
The aerodynamic layout of the J-11 fighter is very advanced, and its structure is at the world's leading level.
In terms of the power system, it is also very advanced, which allows the J-11 fighter to reach a maximum flight speed of 2.5 Mach, a practical ceiling of nearly 20,000 meters, and an amazing combat radius of 2,200 kilometers.
In terms of weapon systems, the bombs carried can reach a full 10,705 kilograms, and can carry up to 12 air-to-air missiles or air-to-ground missiles.
As for the avionics system, it is impeccable and absolutely reaches the world's leading level.
It is precisely because of the advanced nature of the J-11 fighter that Liu Tao is full of confidence in it.
When others heard Liu Tao say this, they were all very excited.
Although they think that F14 and F15 may be more advanced, they all know that Liu Tao is a real expert in weapons and represents authority in scientific research.
Liu Tao introduced the J-11 fighter to the leaders.
That is, there is no fourth-generation fighter now, and no one has proposed the concept of a third-generation and a half fighter, otherwise the J-11 fighter can be classified as a third-generation and a half fighter.
Because the J-11 fighter is indeed more advanced than the Su-27 fighter, F-14 fighter, and F-15 fighter.
After the leaders left, the first batch of J-11 test pilots came.
There are 12 J-11 fighter test pilots in total. They will be responsible for completing all the test flights of the J-11. Even if Liu Tao is very confident in the J-11 fighter, the necessary procedures must still be completed.
At most, the time of the test flight phase will be shortened.
These test pilots are elite pilots. Each of them has flown various types of Chinese aircraft, including three American fighters: F-14, F-15, and F-16.
They were selected to serve as the first batch of J-11 test pilots.
The second batch of J-11 test pilots are being selected. During the entire test flight process, there will be three batches of 36 test pilots in two or three years.
These 36 test pilots will participate in the entire test flight phase, and will also participate in the subsequent improvement of the J-11 fighter and train pilots of the J-11 fighter.
To be exact, the current J-11 fighter should be the J-11A fighter, which is a single-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter. There will be a J-11B fighter, which is a twin-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter.
The J-11C fighter is a single-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter, but it is a carrier-based aircraft; the J-11D fighter is a twin-seat, twin-engine heavy fighter, which is also a carrier-based aircraft.
As for each improved version later, there will be different letters.
Liu Tao hopes that through continuous improvements in the next 30 years, the 26 letters in the alphabet table will not be enough.
However, he will only participate in the subsequent J-11 fighter improvement work but will not invest too much energy. Instead, he will form a special J-11 fighter improvement team and let the team do the improvement work.
After all, he has more things and more meaningful things to do, rather than doing improvement work for a lifetime.
For other aircraft designers, it is already rare to be able to develop an aircraft and continue to improve it for a lifetime, but for Liu Tao, this is not enough. He has laid a good foundation and the pioneering work has been completed, so the improvement work can be handed over to the team.
Ge Shun, Wang Guomin, Wei Bingyan, Liang Anguo and others looked at the three J-11 prototypes with excitement in their eyes.
Afterwards, they will start the taxiing test. Only after completing a series of taxiing tests and conducting evaluations, and believing that the first flight can be carried out, will the J-11 fighter carry out the first flight.
For test pilots, nothing can make them more excited than to test a brand new fighter.
Although it is dangerous, it is also more challenging.
Liu Tao arranged to produce 9 more prototypes.
Guifei is not Chengfei. Chengfei has limited funds. The one-time production of 3 prototypes must be paid by Panshan Group. Guifei is different. With Panshan Group as a backing, there is no need to consider the cost issue. Liu Tao can produce as many prototypes as he arranges to produce.
Moreover, the process of producing prototypes is itself a process of improving the production line and training workers.
After staying in Guifei for two days, Liu Tao flew to Yangcheng, and then took a special car from Yangcheng to Zhuhai.
At this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon in Zhuhai.
However, citizens have come to the main road, from Zhuhai Military Camp to Zhuhai Gongbei Customs. Hundreds of thousands of citizens are on both sides of the main road, holding the five-star red flag, holding red festive banners, beating gongs and drums, dancing lions and dragons, and singing red songs together.
Two years ago, the Hong Kong garrison set off for Xiangjiang, and the citizens of Pengcheng set a good example.
Today, the citizens of ZH followed suit and sent off the people's soldiers to set foot on the land of Macau.
Media reporters are filming and recording everything.
Even today, a national live broadcast is being carried out, and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong are broadcasting this grand event live.
Countless Chinese people, countless descendants of Yanhuang, are watching this live broadcast in front of the TV.
Although today is Tuesday, they have two days off to celebrate this special moment.
This time, unlike the last time in Xiangjiang, the time is very tight.
So at five o'clock in the afternoon, the garrison in Macau can pass through customs.
The military camp, the gate was opened at this time, and in the front were 200 camouflaged "Lynx" all-terrain vehicles, each carrying 4 soldiers, including a driver, three soldiers, two of whom were holding 78-type automatic rifles, and one soldier holding the national flag.
The first camouflaged "Lynx" all-terrain vehicle in the front, three soldiers holding the military flag, party flag, and national flag respectively, led the entire team.
Following closely behind, there were 125 Type 81 light tanks, which were in a 1-2-2-4*N formation.
Behind them were Type 81 infantry fighting vehicles, which were wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.
Further behind, there were self-propelled artillery.
The 8,000-man "Eagle Brigade" marched forward with steel vehicles and iron horses, allowing people to see what a steel torrent is!
The TV reports and guest commentary were all about the mechanized brigade, without mentioning the synthetic brigade at all, and then introducing the glorious achievements of the "Eagle Brigade".
Introduce the heroic unit of the "Eagle Brigade" to the audience.
And the "Eagle Brigade" also shows the style of our army's mighty, civilized and victorious army!
The "Eagle Brigade" passed through the long main road and then lined up at the Gongbei Customs.
Not long after, it was 5 o'clock.
The customs opened and the "Eagle Brigade" passed through the customs in an orderly manner.
They were greeted by the citizens of Macau.
400,000 citizens of Macau all walked out of their homes to celebrate this great moment. I don't know how many citizens came to greet the garrison troops on both sides of the main road.
The garrison troops in Macau were divided into three groups. Two large groups went to the already built New Port Barracks and Taipa Barracks, and another small group went to the Portuguese garrison camp in Macau to prepare for the handover in the evening.
This is also now. When the second garrison troops in Macau start, the number of troops will not be so many, but will be compressed to 1,000 people!
But this time, it is different!
