Chapter 667 Flip
"The elevator of the plane was broken, the plane dived down uncontrollably, and flew backwards..." The keywords in Austin's words fell into Yang Jing's ears, and immediately reminded him of a scene he had seen before.
This is not to say that Yang Jing had seen a large passenger plane dive towards the ground with his own eyes, but that he had seen similar situations in a movie.
Yes, Yang Jing remembers it very clearly. It was a movie that Denzel Watson, a black actress in Hollywood, once filmed by Denzel Watson. The movie tells the story of the national hero captain Wap Whitaker, who was suspected of drunk driving and drug driving, who was self-salvation during the investigation by the US Aviation Safety Administration.
This movie is based on a real story. This real incident tells the story of a captain named Robert Pige in Canada in 2001. At that time, the Airbus A330 aircraft he was flying had no fuel during the flight. He landed smoothly with his superb driving skills and saved the lives of 306 passengers. Overnight, he became a hero of the whole nation, but the media flocked to him began to poach his private life and his past as a prisoner. Later, the media's attention shifted to Pigeon, which made his life difficult.
Although this movie is adapted from that real event, and mainly tells the story of how the captain who saved 105 people completed his self-salvation, in the movie, when the captain who had been drugged and drunk alcohol could still calmly control the plane to successfully land and save the entire 105 passengers and crew on the plane after an unexpected emergency occurred in the plane, Yang Jing still remembers it fresh.
At that time, the captain played by Denzel suddenly lost control while flying the plane and pierced head down. No matter how hard the captain and the co-pilot tried, they could not change the diving posture of the plane. At the critical moment, the captain had a sudden inspiration and controlled the plane to turn and flip, and finally successfully flipped the plane before it hit the ground.
Because the plane flipped over, the plane that was supposed to dive down immediately became a flat flight state. Then the plane flew for a distance, avoided a city with crowded population, flipped over again, and finally successfully landed.
And how similar is the scene in front of you and the scene in the movie?
If the plane can be turned over, the plane that has been diving down can control the downward diving posture due to the reversal of the plane, and there is a great possibility that the plane will successfully land!
Thinking of this, Yang Jing quickly smashed the door of the cab and said loudly: "Sir Captain, I have an idea here that may be able to keep this plane. You can make the plane turn over and fly! Let the plane turn over and fly so that the plane can change its posture of diving downwards! Mr. Captain, Mr. Captain..."
"Sorry, sir, we have not received such training, I cannot take such dangers...Pick, now listen to my orders, open the oil valve, and emptie all the fuel..."
When an aircraft encounters such an uncontrollable emergency, the fuel on the aircraft must be released before the plane lands. Otherwise, once an explosion occurs when the plane lands and the fuel is not released completely, it will be a disaster!
But it's okay to put out fuel, why do you say you can't flip over?
The captain's answer made Yang Jing angry, and then under the stunned gaze of the two bodyguards and the two flight attendants, he raised his foot and kicked the heavy cab door.
Yang Jing was angry and he also used the skill of "feeding back", so under his kick, the cab door, which was originally impossible for two or three people to break open, was kicked open by Yang Jing. The place where the cab door and the cabin wall were contacted was missing for no reason, and Yang Jing kicked the entire door directly.
The door of the cab was suddenly kicked open, which not only made the few people outside feel like they had seen a ghost, but also scared the two drivers in the cab.
The captain sitting on the left shouted in horror: "What are you going to do?"
"What am I going to do? My sister wants to save everyone's lives on our plane! Are you the captain? Now listen to my orders and let the plane flip over. This is the only way to save our lives!" Yang Jing shouted at the captain. At this time, Yang Jing could clearly see the flight altitude marked by the altimeter on the plane. In less than two minutes, the plane had dropped from an altitude of more than 30,000 feet to an altitude of less than 15,000 feet, and was still accelerating and falling downward.
Yang Jing's shouting made the captain stunned for a moment, and then the captain shouted in a louder voice: "Damn, who are you? Why do you want me to do this? Also, why do you have to kick open the door of the cab?"
Yang Jing stared at the captain and shouted, "Don't worry about who I am, I'll ask you, can you turn this damn plane over?" As he said that, Yang Jing gestured with his hand, and then shouted, "See? Our plane is diving like this now, and we cannot change the flight posture of the plane now. If we can turn the plane over, then the elevator that originally controlled the plane to dive down will become rising! In this way, the plane will not be stuck on the ground! Do you understand?"
Yang Jing's gestures and words immediately made the captain and co-pilot's eyes lit up, and even Nathan understood.
"Sir Captain, my boss is right. In theory, this method is feasible. You should try it." Nathan hurriedly said loudly.
The captain was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Of course I understand what this gentleman means, but we are a large passenger plane, not a fighter plane. This large passenger plane cannot perform such maneuvering actions, because such maneuver will definitely exceed the flight envelope of the passenger plane and will immediately stall, enter dive or spiral. At the same time, excessive maneuvering will cause engine air intake disorder, compressor pants, and serious accidents of air shutdown. At the same time, for large passenger planes like us, the allowable overload will generally not exceed 1.8g. Most of such large overloads occur in heavy landings. Overloads greater than 2.0g will cause damage to the aircraft's load-bearing structure and even cause air disintegration."
Yang Jing waved his hand very arrogantly and shouted at the captain: "What's going on now? If we don't try it, our fate will definitely be to plunge head on the ground. Can there be a more terrifying result than this result? If we try and roll in the air, we might be able to save this passenger plane. Even if it disintegrates in the air, it is not much better than plunging head on the ground, right? Why don't you give it a try? What if we succeed?"
At this time, the radio rang again, "a152, a152 is Houston, the airport runway has been cleared, your plane can make a landing on Runway 2, you can make a landing on Runway 2..."
"Houston, this is a152. We can no longer return to Houston. The plane's altitude has dropped too fast. Judging from the current situation, we can't return to Houston at all." The captain said desperately.
"Sir, it has dropped to 13,000 feet!" The co-pilot reported the altitude, and in just a few short sentences, the plane dropped by two thousand feet again.
The captain hesitated for a moment, turned his head and said to Yang Jing: "It's not that I don't want to try it, but that I have never done such a maneuver. I don't know how to do it."
The co-pilot also looked at the captain with a desperate look on his face.
Nathan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Captain, I used to drive a large transport aircraft that I had been in service for a while. Now I ask you, can the rudder of the aircraft still be controlled?"
The co-pilot nodded and said, "The rudder can be controlled, but it is not very sensitive."
"Then the parallel rudder is okay?"
"The parallel rudder is fine."
"That's good. Now you follow my command. We should take advantage of the current flight altitude that is enough to let the plane roll slowly, so that the plane can avoid the plane disintegration due to excessive overload. You guys go back and tie your seat belts now! Captain, try to adjust the rudder to the right, co-pilot, increase the thrust of the plane, and do not stall the plane... Okay, captain, now push the parallel rudder immediately, use the maximum angle to push the parallel rudder to the right... Co-pilot, continue to increase the thrust..."
Under Nathan's series of commands, the plane that had been diving down began to deflect and then slowly flipped. When the flight altitude further dropped to eight thousand feet, the plane miraculously flipped over.
As the plane successfully flipped over, the momentum that had been diving down was immediately controlled. The plane no longer dived down, but instead showed a slightly downward horizontal flight attitude.
The most important thing is that the aircraft's fuselage has withstood the test and has not disintegrated.
"My God, we did it!" The co-pilot shouted excitedly, and there were also bursts of cheers from the economy class behind. Obviously, this stable flight attitude brought the joy of escaping from death to all passengers on the plane who were unknown to the situation.
Only Yang Jing and Nathan supported each other hard. During the flip of the plane just now, they did not return to their seats and tied up seat belts, but instead supported them with their strong physical fitness to successfully flip the plane over.
After the two of them put their feet on the ceiling of the plane, Yang Jing wiped his sweat and said, "Now we just need to find a sufficient area for the plane to make a forced landing, and then flip the plane over for a forced landing!"
The captain was sweating and gestured to Yang Jing with a big thumb, while the co-pilot kept giggling, but he quickly pointed to the front and said, "Captain, our current location is about the junction of Texas and Louisiana. If I remember correctly, not far ahead, the Toledo Bend Reservoir should be the Toledo Bend Reservoir. If possible, can we make a landing in that reservoir?"
The words of the co-pilot made Yang Jing and others lit up their eyes...
