Chapter 106 Young People Are Impatient
The operating mode of a fighter jet is completely different from that of other aircraft.
Take the joystick, for example.
In almost all fighter aircraft, the control stick is between the pilot's legs.
The pilot can easily control the aircraft with just one hand.
But the dashboard of a fighter jet is much more complicated.
The various precision instruments and display screens of all sizes are enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
Have not received professional and systematic training.
No matter how talented you are, you can't control this mechanical monster.
"Today we are going to let you experience the operation mode and flight experience of a real fighter jet, so I will simply tell you how to operate the plane." Xiao Yun, who was sitting in the back row, said when he saw that Jiang Chen had fastened his seat belt.
"First, put on the oxygen mask." Xiao Yun pointed to the mask next to Jiang Chen and continued, "Although we are flying a simulator, we still have to act like it. Have you ever worn this thing? It's very simple, just like a gas mask."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Put on your oxygen mask immediately.
"Fighter planes can easily reach altitudes of tens of thousands of meters, and they can't survive without oxygen masks."
After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he tapped his headset again and said, "Then we need to check the communication equipment. This is essential when we communicate with the ground. However, we are flying a simulator today, so you know, just deal with it casually."
Jiang Chen quietly rolled his eyes.
It's you who's doing the whole show.
It was you who said you would just deal with it casually.
"The instruments and display screens in front of you are the fighter's onboard radar, fuel tank, airspeed indicator, altimeter, etc. You can learn about these things later. I am just explaining them to you casually today."
"Now I'm getting to the point."
"The first is the joystick between your legs. It's like the steering wheel of a fighter plane. We rely on it to control the plane."
"But the joystick is not only used to control the aircraft, there is also a fire button and other things on it, you just need to understand it."
"Did you see it on your right?" Xiao Yun suddenly asked.
Jiang Chen quickly turned his head and looked to the right.
On his right hand side, there are three very eye-catching buttons.
So Jiang Chen immediately replied, "I see."
"These three switches are the power switches of the fighter jets. You need to turn them all on." Xiao Yun said again.
Jiang Chen quickly did as he was told.
"The power switch is down, which is the avionics system. The avionics system has two modes, combat and training."
"The combat mode is not to actually fly a plane to fight, but to carry out patrols or target practice with live ammunition, etc."
"Normally, it's training mode."
"First, select the training mode, then adjust the volume. You need to turn on all the warning sounds."
"Next is the environmental control system, which is the air conditioning."
"When flying at night, we also need to adjust the lights."
"Now look to the left. There is a switch for the wires on the left. Then connect the anti-gravity suit and oxygen tube."
"After doing this, you need to set the longitude and latitude of the aircraft, that is, the coordinate position."
Xiao Yun spoke quite fast.
But the pronunciation is very clear.
So Jiang Chen heard every word carefully.
But hearing clearly with the ears is one thing, and receiving it with the brain is another.
So Xiao Yun said so much, but Jiang Chen didn't understand a single word.
It's like listening to a foreign language.
and so.
Boss, why don't you take away your magical powers?
Let's get some real stuff, shall we?
Just when Jiang Chen was secretly complaining in his heart, Xiao Yun finally got to the key point.
"After completing these auxiliary tasks, you can start the engine."
Jiang Chen heard it.
I was immediately overjoyed.
The whole person became energetic.
"On your left, turn on the DC electric pump, turn on the valve control system, check the throttle clip. Then press the black button for four seconds."
Xiao Yun saw Jiang Chen's confused face and felt a little disappointed.
Colonel Chen praised this kid like a flower.
He speaks as if he is a rare genius that only appears once in a century.
That's it
That's it?
So he was too lazy to give patient instructions, but sighed and said, "Let me do it."
Done.
Xiao Yun skillfully started the plane's engine successfully on his left hand.
Boom boom. Boom boom.
When the simulator's engine was successfully started, a deafening engine sound was transmitted into the cockpit.
and.
Jiang Chen clearly felt the cockpit begin to tremble slightly.
The roar of the engine grew louder and louder.
On a smaller display screen in front of Jiang Chen's left, the engine values were gradually changing.
Xiao Yun made some more operations.
The plane is now ready to take off.
"Before taking off, you need to release the handbrake first, just like when we drive a car." Xiao Yun added, "The handbrake is also on your left hand side, there is small words on the button"
"Gently push the throttle lever and slowly fill the aircraft with fuel."
This series of operations were completed by Xiao Yun.
But every time he completed a step, he would tell Jiang Chen again.
I can tell.
Xiao Yun is indeed a qualified and responsible teacher.
As Xiao Yunsong braked, he gently pushed the throttle lever.
The Su-30MKK fighter began to taxi on the runway.
And just above the dashboard, the airport runway and half of the nose of the plane appeared on the display screen.
At this moment.
Xiao Yun had pushed the throttle lever to the bottom.
The speed of the fighter planes is getting faster and faster.
faster and faster.
Before Jiang Chen could react, the fighter plane had already reached the V1 decision speed.
"Pull the lever, lift the wheel"
Xiao Yun gently pulled the operating lever and lifted the nose of the plane.
At the same time, he patiently explained, "When you pull the stick to lift the head, you must be careful not to make the angle too large, otherwise the plane will somersault in the air because of the large angle."
"Once the altitude reaches more than two or three hundred meters, we can retract the wheels."
Jiang Chen listened very carefully after the plane started the engine.
He found that although the operating modes of fighter jets and large aircraft are very different, they also have similarities.
So if he tries a few more times, he should be able to successfully fly the fighter jet.
soon.
The altimeter on the instrument panel showed that the aircraft had reached an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.
Xiao Yun gently putted the club and lowered his head.
Keep the aircraft in level flight.
Then he said, "The flight altitude of fighter jets ranges widely, from a few hundred meters to more than 10,000 meters."
"Should I take you flying for a while first so that you can feel the charm of a real fighter jet, or should I let you try flying?" Xiao Yun asked again.
Jiang Chen's face was filled with eagerness to try.
He is getting a little impatient now.
So when Xiao Yun finished speaking, Jiang Chen answered without any hesitation, "I want to try it first. If I don't fly well, how about you criticize and correct me?"
An expression of 'as expected' appeared on Xiao Yun's face.
Ha ha!
Young people are just impatient.
