【39】One hundred people on-board training

In the era of machine gun air combat, there is always a battle between vertical maneuver and horizontal sharp turn. If the maneuverability is greatly surpassed the opponent, the opponent's failure is basically judged. During the repeated battles between the two sides, the side with strong maneuverability will eventually shoot down the enemy plane, but if it is said that it is beautiful, all of them adopt the tactic of dive attack, quickly pulling up, and diving again. J-5 is the fighter jet born for this.

Some people say that the maneuverability of the Zero fighter is not very superior? Didn’t it be shot down by the US military in the end? The reason for this is actually without saying it, and once you say it, everyone will understand.

The Zero, which was advocated by the Japanese as a universal fighter, did use its high maneuverability with a small turning radius at the beginning of World War II, and could flexibly turn somersaults to attack by means of back-circling, slaughtering a large number of American fighters. However, the turning point soon came. The US military captured a complete Zero that was forced to land in the swamp. At that time, it felt like it was a treasure, so it quickly washed it and dragged it home. After careful structural analysis and research, 24 test flights were conducted to understand why this turtle cover was so deceptive!

It turns out that the high maneuverability of the Zero Type is based on low speeds. When the speed reaches or exceeds 371 kilometers per hour, the Zero Type becomes very clumsy, the operation is extremely difficult, and the control of rolling control is very difficult. Even pulling the joystick becomes a job that requires a lot of physical strength. The test pilot has to use all his strength to barely operate it. You may even doubt whether you will use too much force to break and pull out the joystick! In addition, the Zero Type Rolls to the left and turns are much easier than to the right.

The most fatal thing is that when the zero-type is under negative acceleration conditions, that is, when the engine is decelerating, it is particularly prone to return oil and shut down, which is the biggest disadvantage of the floating carburetor it uses.

The US military suddenly realized that the combination of Zero is always luring US fighters to fight at low speed! Then it immediately summarized the air combat combat tactics against the performance weakness of Zero fighters: "In air combat, as long as the power dives in a vertical direction and turn on the afterburner, you can quickly get rid of the attack. At this time, the Zero will often stop suddenly (start to cheat). The aircraft can suddenly turn right and roll over at a speed of 370 km/h, and the Zero can't catch up.

Once this tactic is promoted, the good days of Zero will come to an end. Countless Allied fighters roll right and easily throw the Zero chase out for two miles. A large number of Zero became gliders when chasing the opponent's after-dives. The sad glider dared to do a slightly larger maneuver and immediately entered the spiral stall and finished playing...

J-5 is not that delicate, you know what the Russians designed... have thick skin and strong flesh, and are durable. But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. This powerful war eagle has a characteristic of "little but hard". Excessive operation will cause the body to be unstable and easily enter the spiral. In air combat, pilots often chase the enemy regardless of the traction rod, and even slid and turned sharply on the side. That's it, it's over, and you have to enter the spiral.

The J-5 has actually improved a lot in operation. The MiG 15 in the Korean War was the real Prince of Spiral. 70% of the MiG 15 crashes in the Korean War were not caused by air combat, but by spirals. The MiG 17 was improved based on the MiG 15, greatly improving its manipulation, which also created the glory of the J-5 later.

This spiral is not the patent of J-5. All jets in the world have this habit. Until today, many accidents in the air force of various countries in the world have entered the spiral every year. Whether it is a "typhoon", F-16, or F-22, it cannot be avoided. As long as you dare to conduct intense aerial fighting training similar to actual combat, the spiral will follow you like an aunt. If it is not operated properly after entering the spiral, it will be difficult to modify, and eventually lead to faster and faster spirals, slower and slower, and crash like a gyro after stalling.

Therefore, the modification of spiral state is a compulsory course for experienced fighter pilots. What pilots are most afraid of during training is to do spiral modification training, for fear that they will fall into this terrible self-axis motion and cannot be modified.

Fortunately, the 491 project reprinted the Air Force textbooks imported by Xiaoqiang clearly. Our army emphasized the softness of operation in the training of simple equipment on the ground, buried small nails on the simulation joystick, wrapped them in newspapers, and during training, it is important to have one rod in place, and you cannot use too much force, otherwise the nails will be thrust... The local bull is always able to use local methods to solve new problems.

Wang Hai's test flight was very smooth and the plane was in good condition. I have to say that the logistics and maintenance work of the Rabbit Communist Party has always been serious, which has made the sealed aircraft still have a good condition. After the plane landed smoothly, everyone's hearts were finally relieved due to excitement and tension. Everyone rushed up to tell Wang Hai. Wang Hai opened the hatch and got off the plane's first sentence was "With such a good aircraft, no one can invade China's airspace from now on."

According to the arrangement, Wang Hai will briefly talk about his test flight experience. Next, two other pilots will test flights of the J-5. After mastering the J-5 flight technology, the three of them will fly the ship to teach the Fifth and train more pilots to train the J-5 flight. The Air Force's flight base is running at a rapid speed for this goal, and everyone has only one goal, that is, to complete the preliminary onboard training of 100 jet fighter pilots before the end of 1949.

The jet fighter does not burn gasoline, even aviation gasoline is not enough. This guy eats aviation kerosene. Historically, until 1960, my country relied on imports from the Soviet Union. It was not until 1961 that my country truly produced aviation kerosene in industrialization.

Therefore, everyone cherishes the aviation kerosene you bought with foreign exchange, cherishes every second of the flight time, and simulates the tactical actions you want to do and possible problems on the ground countless times.

At this moment, Shen Yang was under rapid construction of the aircraft overhaul. The workers worked overtime day and night to build factory installation equipment under the guidance of engineers. According to the idea, the construction of the factory will be carried out simultaneously with the equipment installation, further shortening the construction cycle of the overhaul. In order to support the emergency construction of the overhaul, the city leaders decided that Shen Yang City stopped the originally under construction machinery factory project and devoted all its supplies to the project of the jet fighter overhaul.

The three million tons of petrochemical refinery equipment imported by Xiaoqiang last time had arrived in Harbin Erbin. Under the strict protection of the troops, the technicians drawn from all over the country began to rush to install and construct according to the fine drawings provided by the 491 Project Command. Once the installation and commissioning is completed, ordinary gasoline and diesel fuel in New China will no longer need to be imported. These equipment are at the level of 70 or 80 years, but for the world at this moment, it is highly leading.

The fastest progress is about oil mining. Two sets of oil production equipment purchased by Xiaoqiang at a price of 8 million per set have been transported to Shandong Province. The Shengli Oilfield, which was discovered and built in 1961 in history, showed its magical powers. The degree of automation of oil production vehicles from 2010 is too high. The well is upright - one-stop oil production. With the assistance of a large amount of manpower, the drilling platform of the oil well has been initially erected. The coordinates of the resource map provided by Xiaoqiang are carried out for drilling and oil production. The location is correct and the depth of the oil layer has been mastered. There is no suspense about oil production. The workers, technicians, engineers, and officers and soldiers who were drawn from Yumen Oilfield to participate in the battle did not sleep. They just watched the depth of the highly automated turning machine go down little by little. They wanted to witness the birth of a high-yield oil well with their own eyes.

According to Xiaoqiang's tips and central deployment, the locations of these two oil wells are both high-yield wells with a daily yield of more than 500 tons and stable oil output. The reason why we did not dare to choose the super self-blowing wells with a daily yield of 3,600 tons plus a hundred tons of natural gas was indeed afraid of limited technical capabilities and dangers and waste in mining. The establishment of these two oil wells can provide the country with 400,000 tons of crude oil every year. It should be noted that in history, the national crude oil production was only 436,000 tons in 1949.

"Old Wu, do you think there is really oil here?" A worker drawn from Yumen Oilfield asked his colleagues around him.

"Of course, the commander of the army said that according to calculations, this well can produce 500 tons in a day!"

"Are you kidding? Is it safe to produce oil in the first well? Or is it a 500 tons of industrial oil flow?" The old worker was a little skeptical.

"Isn't this a drill? Is it only necessary to know if I have hit me?" Old Wu replied firmly.
