Chapter 171 J-20B, Shark!(2/2)
Red quickly stood up, and Char took his position. Under a series of skillful instructions, the satellite in the sky adjusted its angle slightly and took photos one after another in the direction of the aircraft's nose.
Char looked at the photo intently, with emotions in his heart.
After waiting for so long, it’s finally here!
This must be the latest achievement of Institute 611, a brand new aircraft.
Although it can still be clearly seen that it is based on the original J-20 frame design, the numerous changes make it extremely special.
Char couldn't figure out the purpose of the plane.
If it's just an ordinary fourth-generation aircraft, why do we need to make such big changes?
Moreover, some structures on the plane were also difficult for him to understand.
The rectangular frame behind the cockpit seems to be a movable structure, but with such a structure, no one would place the magazine above the aircraft, right?
On the other side, Rhett had finished his report. He came back to the screen and asked:
"So what kind of plane is this? Did we catch a big fish?"
Charles nodded and replied:
"It must be a big fish, but I don't know what kind of fish it is."
"Maybe we have to wait until those experts come to see the problem."
"Look, there is a rectangle here, and it seems to have been opened. Is it a clamshell structure?"
"What exactly is it used for?"
Rhett shook his head, he didn't know the answer to this question either.
The photos continued to be updated, and the two were surprised to find that the plane seemed to have no intention of taking off.
It just stopped in place, motionless.
"What are they doing taking them out to bask in the sun?"
Rhett couldn't help but said.
"Who knows."
Charles continued to examine the photo, but the next second, his eyes suddenly widened.
He discovered something incredible.
There's something wrong with the shadow of this plane.
In the photo, you can see the complete shadow.
For a moment, Charles suddenly felt that all his hair stood on end.
An important function of KH-12 is to judge the actual size of the object being photographed based on the projection of the object, so he will subconsciously pay attention to the shadow.
But, how could there be a shadow of an airplane like this?
unless
It's already flying in the air!
Rhett also discovered this. He turned to Charles and asked in disbelief:
"This plane is flying at ultra-low altitude?"
Char continued to zoom in on the photo, and when he saw the vague flames at the tail of the plane clearly, he finally accepted the guess in his heart.
Take off vertically!
This is a STOVL fighter plane with vertical takeoff function!
No wonder.
No wonder the NSA has invested so much money in monitoring this test flight site.
The reason is very simple. What is going to appear here is really important.
He took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice:
"I know what this is"
"This is a STOVL fighter, a fourth-generation STOVL fighter."
"Red, we caught a fish."
"But... this looks like a shark!"
