Chapter 183 High Altitude Turbulence

Chapter 183

I just completed the steering and had not yet flown far. When I was in a stable flight at a high altitude, I suddenly sank. The altitude fell by dozens of meters in an instant, and then it was thrown up again, increasing the altitude again.

The flight attitude of the J-10c is extremely unstable, with a large jump in the airspeed, and the seat belt tied to the body is subject to significant pressure.

"drop!"

In the cockpit, an alarm beep sounded rapidly, and a yellow warning prompt was heard in the dashboard.

Yang Luo was shocked and calmed down instantly, clasped the joystick, stabilized the fighter's posture, adjusted the angle of the canard and flap aileron, and changed the angle of attack.

Be calm under any circumstances, this is the most basic psychological quality that pilots must possess.

"Report to the command center, 301 encountered high-altitude turbulence." During the violent ups and downs, Yang Luo reported to the command center, his tone was very calm and he was not panicked.

There is no sign of high-altitude turbulence, no obvious boundaries, invisible to the naked eye, and the radar cannot detect it. Only after entering it can you know it.

According to aviation guidelines, turbulence can be divided into four levels: mild turbulence, moderate turbulence, strong turbulence and extreme turbulence.

There are no instruments installed on the plane to measure the degree of turbulence that is encountered now. The responsibility for judging turbulence depends entirely on the pilot's subjective judgment.

Yang Luo had encountered high-altitude turbulence before, but what he had encountered before was the lightest level of the turbulence, which could easily get rid of the impact of the turbulence on the fighter jets.

But this time the turbulence was significantly stronger, almost meeting the standard of strong turbulence.

Based on the memories of turbulence in my mind, Yang Luo judged that he must have encountered wet water vapor convection.

"301, lower the height and get out of the turbulence." The commander said seriously, with a hint of worry on his face. The reason for changing the task was to avoid the strong winds.

High winds are often accompanied by high-speed flow of clouds, which is very likely to form a convection of water vapor that is turbulent, which is a major threat to aircraft.

But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and I still couldn't avoid them.

“301 understand.”

Yang Luo responded calmly, recalling the emergency regulations learned about high-altitude turbulence in his mind, and responding with his hands and feet one by one.

It's like a small boat in the vast ocean, rising and falling with the huge waves.

Yang Luo lowered his head and the throttle valve had been pushed to the end. The al-31fn aircraft engine burst out with the maximum thrust, and the pointer of the oil gauge was almost sliding at a visible speed.

However, it seems that things are not going well.

It seemed that it was not flying in the air, but on the water, and it was always ups and downs. It was just not easy to drop some heights, but was thrown by the turbulent flow and almost returned to its previous heights.

"What's the situation of 301? Is there any possibility of a change?" the commander asked anxiously. The sound that could no longer be seen on the big screen was covered by a large cloud blowing from the strong wind.

"It has not been changed yet. The turbulence is too strong and the height drop is not ideal. I am working hard." Yang Luo replied, feeling a little sweat on his forehead, but he can still keep calm, constantly turning on or off various switches for adjustment, and adjusting the angle of attack.

"If necessary, throw away the missile together with the launcher and the rocket launcher." The commander decisively issued instructions.

At this time, it is in an extremely dangerous state. Any unnecessary plug-in devices will affect the performance of the fighter and reduce the possibility of modification.

Compared to a whole fighter plane and pilot, just a few missiles and pylons are not worth mentioning at all.

Yang Luo looked down at the sea level below. On the already undulating sea surface, fishing boats that had received the news of a strong wind coming were sailing in groups toward the land.

"There are many fishing boats on the sea." Yang Luo swallowed and said.

Although the missile is manually deployed with the launcher and the missile is not ignited, there is generally no risk of explosion, but who knows where it will fall from a few thousand meters of air? If it hits the fishing boat, the pl-9c air-to-air missile plus the weight of the launcher will be no less than a huge disaster for the fishing boat.

"Fishing boat?..."

The commander was stunned for a moment, unable to see the image, and I really didn't think of this unexpected factor at once.

"Stay stable, you must keep it stable."

The commander could only pray secretly, looking at the radar image replaced on the large screen. The various data parameters displayed on it were a bit shocking. The altitude was not stable, sometimes high and sometimes low, and the speed continued to decrease. He was on the verge of stalling and his lift coefficient was chaotic.

The atmosphere in the command center was very tense, and many people showed a look of worry on their faces. A heart went up and down with the changes in the parameters on the screen. The commander was so anxious that he creaked the phone in his hand and his knuckles turned white.

In the cockpit, various alarm sounded. As the turbulent flow was shaking, the body kept shaking and making a crunching sound, which was the body moaning.

It is undoubtedly reminding Yang Luo that the fighter jet is almost at its limit. If it continues, it is likely that the most serious air disintegration will occur.

No one knows what will happen in the next second.

The area covered by high-altitude turbulence is vast, and there is no specific value. The small ones may be only a few kilometers, but large-scale turbulences may have diameters of more than 100 kilometers, and the thickness ranges range from 100 meters to 1,500 meters.

A height of more than 1,000 meters is a normal flight, a few seconds are enough, but now it is like a gap, and it is very difficult to get out of it.

It is like falling into a quagmire in the turbulence, struggling constantly with difficulty, and the effect is very unsatisfactory.

The roar of the J-10c in the air could almost be heard on the sea below. Many fishermen walked out of the cabin and looked up into the sky to search for the source of the sound.

As time goes by, the J-10c's joystick, rudder, etc., which has been trapped in the turbulence, has been unable to get rid of the influence of the turbulence, and the feedback of the J-10c's joystick, rudder, etc. has become weaker and weaker, and it is almost impossible to feel the reaction of the fuselage.

This is a sign that the fighter jet is about to lose control.

"Reported that the feedback from the command center, joystick, rudder, etc. is getting weaker and the fighter jet is about to lose control."

Yang Luo still had no idea of ​​giving up and continued to work hard, but his tone was slightly faster to report.

"301, keep it steady, I believe you can keep it steady."

Hearing Yang Luo's words, the commander stood up from the seat, put the telephone at his mouth but stopped again, calmed down, and then slowly said in a stable and firm tone.

"I want to keep it steady, but it is disobedient." Yang Luo said with a wry smile.

The feedback force of the joystick and rudder continued to decrease, and the aerodynamic rudder surface almost failed, and he was almost helpless.
