Chapter 293 Zhang Shusheng’s Supersonic Journey(2/2)
"That's good. The matter is settled. Tomorrow, I will also be a passenger on the jet fighter." Zhang Shusheng waved his hand, indicating that the matter was settled.
Of course, what he can't tell them is that there is no reason for you to worry. With his current martial arts skills, although he cannot fly into the sky, if there is a parachute, even if the plane has an accident at an altitude of several thousand meters, he will have absolute protection.
Reaction time, use parachute to jump down.
Even if the parachute fails, he still has a belt-type emergency escape system that the little kid on the Dreamer exchanged for him. This high-quality and cheap escape system is suitable for use on land, sea, and air, and is easy to carry at ordinary times. When used, it can be used according to the person's needs.
The nerve, body temperature and other data changes drastically, and it takes effect immediately.
It was a big event for the Chairman of the General Assembly to fly into the sky in a jet fighter. That afternoon, the base's emergency working group was set up. Safety experts and base scientists conducted a more detailed assessment of the flight. Ground machinery
The engineers also conducted a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft overnight, with a total of three repeated inspections. Everything from a screw to the engine was inspected to ensure that there were no problems.
Xu Binggang was also questioned and audited by safety experts regarding whether he complied with all flight requirements.
The next day, early in the morning, Xu Binggang flew the plane for a short test flight and landed. The plane was finally inspected jointly by safety experts, aircraft experts and mechanics, and then Zhang Shusheng was told that the flight could be carried out in the afternoon.
.
With the help of the staff, Zhang Shusheng put on a student pilot uniform and was arranged to the back cockpit of the two-seater training aircraft for a short safety training.
The whole process is very simple, just tell him how to ensure his own safety and what to do when the plane malfunctions. Although it is very simple, the experts still repeat it again and again.
However, several experts also know that the Chairman is famous for his high IQ and has played very important roles in many scientific fields. He already knew even the emergency escape measures for pilots, and even in the early days, he had
Participated in some breakthrough missions on the core technology of Tianlong fighter jets.
At noon, before lunch, Zhang Shusheng took a short rest. Accompanied by several flight experts, he conducted a simple simulated ride and simulated emergency response in an emergency.
At 3:10 in the afternoon, Zhang Shusheng came to the airport and boarded the Tianlong two-seater training aircraft despite the worries of many personnel.
"Xiao Xu, the Chairman is in the back seat. This responsibility is as big as the sky. Even if you..." Zhang Chaomin paused when he said this, but Xu Binggang himself said, "Don't worry, General Zhang, I will definitely
That’s okay. Even if I risk my life, I will protect the safety of the Chairman.”
After Zhang Shusheng boarded the plane and closed the canopy, the entire Air Force weapons testing base entered a war-ready state as if facing a formidable enemy.
After the base notified the Yibin Military Region of the flight, the local air defense department and the garrisoned air force also responded, taking over air traffic control and other tasks to the radar station and turning it on in a centralized manner, preparing to protect the absolute safety of this flight.
"The plane preparation is complete, please take off."
When the four base escort Dragon jet fighters took off, Xu Binggang asked the tower to take off after confirming that the chairman in the back cabin was ready.
"You can take off."
At the tower, many generals gathered, and Zhang Chaomin personally pointed at the intercom and issued a confirmed notification that he could take off.
"clear."
Xu Binggang began to slowly start the plane, and the engine of the plane that had been parked at the end of the takeoff runway began to ignite.
Zhang Shusheng was sitting in the back cabin. First, he felt a slight vibration in the fuselage, and immediately there was the buzzing sound of the engine starting. This was the same feeling as sitting on a jetliner in his previous life.
There was no sound of the rotating shaft of the propeller, nor the roaring but not violent sound of the engine, but the violent and rapid sound of the jet engine.
The speed of the Huhu fighter was getting faster and faster. Zhang Shusheng felt that the reference objects on both sides of the airport continued to retreat, getting faster and faster. Then, he felt that the plane was slowly leaving the ground.
For the sake of absolute safety, Xu Binggang flew the aircraft very carefully. The take-off process was also guaranteed to be absolutely safe and even a little slow. He did not adopt the usual high-elevation angle take-off posture and did not dare to turn prematurely. Instead, he lifted the plane smoothly.
A faint sense of air pressure change and weightlessness came. Zhang Shusheng looked outside and saw that the airport building under his feet was getting smaller. What came into view below the cockpit were some mountain peaks.
Not far away, there were several Tianlong fighter jets escorting them in the air. After this planer flew smoothly, several other planes quickly approached and finally formed a long-distance flight formation.
"Chairman, the plane is now in level flight, how do you feel?"
Xu Binggang's greeting came from the wired earphones.
"Everything is normal." Zhang Shusheng responded. The entire takeoff process was very smooth, and the aircraft cockpit was very comfortable. At least this fully enclosed cockpit would not make people feel cold. Through the flight goggles, he could see the distance.
A Tianlong fighter jet.
"Maybe it won't be long before we have large jets. Maybe it won't be ten years before ordinary people will have the opportunity to fly on large jets like those in previous lives." Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but think about it, and began to enjoy this kind of flight.
The aircraft was not required to perform maneuvers, which simply challenged Xu Binggang's psychological limits. If something went wrong, he would not be able to bear it.
Of course, according to the arrangement, the plane will still perform a relatively exciting flight plan.
"Chairman, one of the planes is currently ready to break the speed of sound. Please give instructions." From time to time, Xu Binggang's voice came from the earphones.
"You can start." Zhang Shusheng replied.
"yes."
After receiving the order, Xu Binggang began to accelerate the plane. After a relatively slight vibration, the plane had exceeded the speed of sound.
"Flying at supersonic speed is indeed very exciting. It is much better than in full flight simulation games."
Although Zhang Shusheng was wearing a full set of protective gear as a pilot, the violent engine roar of supersonic flight could still be heard through the protective earphones.
This kind of excitement is definitely not comparable to that of a propeller aircraft.
Unfortunately, for safety reasons, after just one minute of supersonic flight, Xu Binggang began to slow down the aircraft until it was flying slowly at a cruising speed of 800 kilometers.
Ten minutes later, the plane began to return and soon landed on the ground.
As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Shusheng held Xu Binggang's hand and praised him, "Thank you, Comrade Xu Binggang. It's you who gave me the honor to be the first head of state in the world to board an airplane. Hazhe."
Xu Binggang, who was still nervous at first, smiled honestly when he heard this and saluted, "I also thank Chairman, for making me the first jet fighter pilot in the world to fly with the head of state."
