Chapter 461: A show of force

Although the J-11B is a domestically produced version of the Su-27 Flanker, it has been qualitatively improved in many aspects.

For example, the J-11B's fuselage is made of composite materials (mainly carbon fiber), which reduces its weight by kilograms and increases its lifespan by hours.

Moreover, the J-11B has redesigned the engine air intake to reduce the radar cross-section.

In addition, the fuselage is made of composite materials, so the radar cross-section of the J-11b is only about 27% of that of the Su- Flanker.

Avionics systems.

The J-11B has completely replaced its discharge equipment with domestic standard ones, so that this fighter can be equipped with a mixture of R-77 and domestic PL-12 medium-range air-to-air missiles.

future.

The J-11b can even carry the ultra-long-range air-to-air missile, the PL-15.

Moreover, the J-11B is no longer a fighter focused on air combat, but has enhanced its ground and sea attack capabilities.

The cockpit has also undergone a major overhaul, with four new head-up displays, which is more technological than the SU-27 cockpit.

Some J-11B fighters have begun to be equipped with WS-10 turbofan engines, but the J-11B equipped by the 31th Air Division is still equipped with AL-F engines imported from Russia.

The biggest difference between the J-11B and the Su-27 Flanker is the onboard fire control radar.

Since the day the J-11B left the factory and entered service, it has been equipped with the brand new domestically-produced JKL-24 active phased array radar.

This radar has powerful performance, with a detection range of up to 180 kilometers directly in front of the nose of the aircraft. It can track 20 air targets at the same time and attack six of them at the same time.

In contrast, the Su-27 Flanker has a detection range of only 90 kilometers and can track multiple targets and attack two of them simultaneously.

Airborne radar is the eyes of a fighter jet.

The farther you look.

The more you can seize the initiative.

Moreover, the J-11B is also equipped with an ultraviolet-band missile approach warning system, which can provide early warning when the aircraft is locked by an incoming missile, giving the pilot sufficient reaction time.

In addition to the above changes.

The J-11B also increased its range to 5200 kilometers and was equipped with a forward-looking infrared detection system, etc.

Therefore, this fighter is already a modern fighter with mature performance and all parameters meeting the standards of fourth-generation aircraft.

If we compare it internationally.

The J-11B is competing against the Russian Su-30 series and the American's latest F-15EX Advanced Eagle.

Some people may question this.

Aren't the Typhoons of the five European countries, the Rafale of France, the Gripen of Sweden, the F-18 Hornet of the Americans, etc. not up to par?
Yes.

In the world of fighter jets.

Among fighter jets of the same generation, tonnage is king.

So heavy fighters are indeed taller than medium fighters.

Therefore, there is no need to use the two medium-sized fighter jets, Typhoon and Rafale, to cause trouble.

As for the Gripen?

It’s better not to mention this outdated plane from the 1980s.

The F-18 Hornet is a carrier-based aircraft, and carrier-based aircraft are limited by the aircraft carrier deck, so their payload and range are far inferior to those of heavy fighters.

So among the same generation of fighter jets.

Only the Su-30 series and the F-15EX Advanced Eagle can pose a threat to the J-11B.

Last year, Jiang Chen had already flown a two-seat J-10S fighter jet once at Dafangshen Airport.

So he thought that the fourth-generation fighter jet he would first fly would be the J-10 series.

For example, the J-10C.

I didn't expect fate to play such a trick on me.

He has not yet seen the "dignified appearance" of the J-10C, but has already flown the J-11b.

However, Jiang Chen has always liked aircraft with Soviet ancestry.

Especially the Su-27 Flanker series produced by Sukhoi.

Don’t say anything else.

The appearance is very good.

The aerodynamic layout is perfect.

That is why Shenfei has been thinking about how to fill the outer shell of the Su-27 Flanker with various advanced equipment for decades.

It is precisely because of this.

Only then did Shen Fei gain the "good reputation" of Shen Huoyi.

Even after 10 years.

The fifth-generation aircraft has gradually occupied the C position in the sky. The US F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning have dominated most of the airspace in the Western world. The performance of the J-20 Mighty Dragon of the East China University of Technology was exposed, capturing many military fans.

Even the FC-31 Falcon, which was once difficult to produce by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, has found a second life and was officially named the J-35. It also shined at the Zhuhai Air Show.

But in terms of appearance.

Shenyang's Su-57 is still the best.

Putting aside the combat capability of the Su-57, this fighter has simply reached the pinnacle in terms of appearance.

It is also one of Jiang Chen’s dream machines.

Sleeping now. Ahem, since I can’t fly the Su-57, I’ll just fly his cousin first.

As the tower's order was given.

Right in front of the nose of the plane, a ground crew member also made a gesture to slide out.

Zhou Hai, who was sitting in the rear cabin, had released the brakes, lowered the baffle, slowly filled the plane with fuel, and then controlled the plane to slowly slide off the apron.

Jiang Chen has nothing to do.

His eyes were fixed on the aircraft instrument panel.

Carefully observe the changes in the instrument panel data while the aircraft is flying.

Not a moment later.

The plane has arrived at the takeoff waiting area at the end of the runway.

Following the order from the tower.

This J-11bs fighter jet rushed out like a sharp sword.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

The aircraft's speed has reached the v1 decision speed.

Zhou Hai just gently pulled the operating lever and lifted up the nose of the plane.

Then the J-11bs raised its nose slightly and left the ground at a small take-off angle of nearly 10 degrees.

Rumble~~~Rumble~~~
The J-11BS fighter jet flew forward for several thousand meters almost close to the ground.

Followed by.

Zhou Hai suddenly pushed the stick to the right and stepped on the right rudder to the bottom.

The J-11BS immediately turned its nose to the right until it successfully turned around.

Before Jiang Chen could react.

Zhou Hai had already pulled the operating stick upward and backward, directly pulling up the nose of the plane.

The J-11BS fighter jet raised its nose high and climbed upward at an angle of nearly ninety degrees.

When the plane was climbing vertically, Zhou Hai even went so crazy as to turn on all the engine afterburners.

bang~ bang~ bang~
Several sonic booms suddenly exploded in the surrounding airspace.

Then the J-11BS was seen climbing rapidly in altitude, wrapped in a cone-shaped sonic boom cloud.

In the front cockpit.

Jiang Chen felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his chest, pressing him so hard that he couldn't even breathe.

His eyes are now bloodshot.

And there was a constant buzzing in my ears.

This was because the plane was performing extreme maneuvers, which greatly increased the overload and caused a physiological reaction in his body.

This was the first time in Jiang Chen's life that he had a physiological reaction due to overload.

But his mind was still clear.

I also understand why Zhou Hai tried such an exciting and dangerous extreme maneuver with an overload of nearly 9G right from the start.

You just want to give him a warning.

Yes.

Zhou Hai just wanted to give him a warning!

He tried to use this method to give a warning to this talented pilot who was only 18 years old.

Let him know that talent is not the answer to everything.

Fighter pilots place more emphasis on superb skills and rich experience.

Especially the experience that only old hands like them have, which has certain practical significance.

This is what the army should have most and is its most valuable asset.
