You were asked to repeat your senior year of high school, and you took advantage of the opportunity

Chapter 490 At the last moment, the engine stopped
This is a strange scene.

The vulture was really stunned.

"watt?"

His eyes were almost popping out of his head.

He looked with astonishment at the J-11B fighter jet falling freely like a leaf in the sky not far away.

Yes.

This J-11b fighter jet.

At this moment, it is like a fallen leaf slowly floating down.

Seeing this strange scene, a word suddenly emerged in the vulture's mind - falling leaves.

But isn't it true that only fighter jets equipped with vector thrust engines can perform the "falling leaves" maneuver?

And the 'falling leaves' is just an aerobatic maneuver at an air show.

When was it used in actual combat?
'Falling Leaves' is a type of super maneuverable flying stunt, and it was invented by the Russian fighter aerobatic team and is famous all over the world.

But now "falling leaves" is no longer exclusive to the Russians.

Any air force unit equipped with a vector engine can perform this maneuver.

Although "Falling Leaves" is not as well known as "Pugachev's Cobra Maneuver", it is also very well-known in the world.

The "falling leaf" maneuver is called the "no-radius descending turn maneuver" in academia. It is a turning maneuver with a small radius, or even no radius or zero radius.

Just like a leaf falling from a tree.

The movements are elegant and beautiful, and very ornamental.

Therefore, this maneuver often appears in fighter jet stunt performances at air shows.

But in fact, for fighter jets equipped with vector thrust engines, "falling leaves" is not difficult.

This maneuver is very similar to a stall spin.

But it's controllable.

To complete the "falling leaf" maneuver, you only need to be able to pull up the nose of the fighter plane, and immediately reduce the throttle after climbing to a certain height.

By this time the plane had reached its apex.

At the same time, the speed is also reduced to the minimum.

So naturally it entered a stall state.

But at this time the aircraft still maintains the take-off attitude.

The pilot only needs to adjust the thrust vector or rely on the thrust difference to make the aircraft turn left and right.

Especially worth mentioning.

The 'falling leaf' maneuver is different from the traditional way fighter jets bank and turn.

Because the "falling leaf" maneuver does not cause much energy loss during the turning process, the aircraft still maintains super controllable maneuvers.

Therefore, "Falling Leaves" is not just an air show stunt, but has strong practical application.

In other words.

Jiang Chen now used the "Falling Leaves" move to get rid of the enemy plane's tail.

Very reasonable.

But Jiang Chen was flying a J-11b.

Moreover, the engine used by the J-11B equipped by the 31st Regiment is the Russian AL-F engine.

The AL-31F engine is a turbofan engine rather than a vector engine.

Currently, there are very few fighter jets in the world that can perfectly perform the "falling leaf" maneuver, including the Russian Su-35, T-50 (Su-57), and the American F-22 Raptor.

The J-11B is definitely not included.

But Vulture has now witnessed with his own eyes that a J-11B actually performed the "falling leaf" maneuver.

How could I not be surprised?

Actually.

Jiang Chen's maneuver was not a complete version of "Falling Leaves".

He is just skilled and daring.

It's just using the plane's stall and spin to get rid of the enemy plane's tail.

So the plane fell dozens of meters like a free fall, and completed a turn in the air.

Jiang Chen immediately pushed the throttle lever hard.

Restore fuel supply.

Phew~puff~puff~
The J-11B fighter jet's tail wing once again spurted out orange flames, pushing the plane out of free fall.

at this time.

Vulture had also caught up in his plane.

But at this time, the situation of the two planes was no longer chasing each other, but running in two directions.

huh~~~
In the blink of an eye.

The two fighter planes met in the air.

The distance is so close.

It's almost just a stone's throw away.

Just as the two planes were meeting in the air, Vulture turned his head to look at the enemy plane's canopy.

At this time, the 'enemy plane' pilot also looked at him.

At this moment.

The vulture saw a young face.

And a raised middle finger.

Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye.

The two planes passed each other again.

"Shit!" Vulture cursed in his heart, and immediately turned the joystick, turned around and chased the "enemy plane". The maneuverability of the F-35A Lightning was not good enough.

In this rapid situation.

The Condor still completed a small radius turn.

When the aircraft completed the 180-degree turn, the Vulture immediately attempted to use the fire control radar to lock onto the enemy aircraft.

Jiang Chen seemed to have predicted Vulture's prediction.

So when he passed by the F-35A, he immediately pulled the joystick back and up.

Climb.

Climb.

Keep climbing.

The J-11b fighter jet climbed its altitude again.

Jiang Chen did not reset the control lever until the fighter plane's belly was facing up and the fuselage was facing down.

But at this time.

This J-11B fighter jet was actually flying backwards in the sky.

This is not over yet.

Jiang Chen pushed the rod again.

At the same time, turn on the afterburner.

Rumble~~~Rumble~~~
The J-11B, which was originally flying backwards, instantly drew a large -degree circle in the sky.

Yes.

If you watch Jiang Chen's flight trajectory on the radar.

You can find that he drew a circle in the sky in just over ten seconds.

But he wasn't just drawing circles and cursing people for no reason.

But go around the enemy.

Jiang Chen knew that the F-35A was highly maneuverable.

I also know that the enemy pilot will turn and lock on to me immediately after the intersection.

So he simply flew in a circular trajectory.

Go around behind the enemy plane.

Kill the enemy plane.

His prediction was correct.

Vulture was like a character in his script, following his steps exactly.

So while the Vulture is trying to lock onto the 'enemy aircraft'.

The enemy planes had already circled behind us.

Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
In the cockpit of the F-35A, a shrill alarm sounded.

Along with the alarm sound, there is also a locked prompt tone.

This reminder sound was like a magic sound, lingering in the vulture's ears.

“Damn it~~~”

The vulture was not as panic-stricken as the mole.

But he still pushed the throttle lever hard, rolling and accelerating at the same time.

But Jiang Chen once again showed his ruthless character of a mad dog.

Now that we have caught the enemy plane's tail.

Then I will never give in even if I die.

So no matter whether the vulture rolled or accelerated, he still followed closely behind.

Beep beep beep~beep beep beep.

The vulture saw that he could not escape the enemy plane's tail bite.

He simply pulled the stick back and raised his head, driving the plane to continue climbing.

Jiang Chen immediately chased after him.

Hold on to the enemy plane and don't let go.

Climb.

Climb.

Keep climbing.

soon.

The two fighter planes climbed nearly one thousand meters at a nearly vertical angle.

Like two sharp arrows, they pierced through the clouds!

Jiang Chen was just about to make a final push.

While the enemy aircraft is continuously locked.

Click, click, click~~~Click, click, click~~~
A sound of twisting metal suddenly reached his ears.

Before Jiang Chen could react.

next second.

This J-11B fighter jet seemed to have ejected all its essence and became weak and powerless in an instant.

Jiang Chen saw this.

I was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

Hey!
The engine has stopped!
