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

Chapter 492 Want to know the limit of the J-11B
It is said to be 'escort' and support.

In fact, there is not much these two female air warriors can do.

The biggest impact would probably be if the J-11B fighter jet piloted by Jiang Chen stalled and crashed due to deceleration.

They can provide more accurate coordinates to subsequent rescue teams.

If Jiang Chen is lucky.

There were no adverse weather conditions such as crosswinds or 'clear air turbulence'.

Smoothly leave the sea by gliding.

They also bear the responsibility of guiding Jiang Chen.

This is the difficulty of air rescue.

Because aircraft cannot dock or float in the air like vehicles or ships.

Either crash or keep flying.

Therefore, the rescue team had no way to approach or board the aircraft to repair or transfer the people on board.

You can only rely on yourself for everything.

As a veteran pilot with a total of eleven or twelve years of flying experience in his two lifetimes, Jiang Chen naturally knew this truth.

But the good news is that he is tall enough.

When the engine stopped, he chased the F-35A Lightning fighter and climbed to an altitude of over ten thousand meters.

So there was enough height for him to glide.

Moreover, the aerodynamic layout of fighter jets is more reasonable than that of civil airliners, so in the absence of headwinds or turbulent airflow, gliding flight of one or two hundred kilometers is not a fantasy.

Because even passenger planes can glide for hundreds of kilometers.

This is not nonsense.

But there are real cases.

A Canadian civilian airliner ran out of fuel in its tank shortly after takeoff because the airport ground staff failed to convert the weight unit in time when refueling and mistakenly took pounds as kilograms.

In order to return home and make an emergency landing, the captain of the passenger plane glide in the air for 17 minutes.

The descent height is about 500 meters per minute.

So 17 minutes later.

The captain successfully piloted the plane to an emergency landing at an air force airport.

The airport is 160 kilometers away from the airspace where the plane ran out of fuel.

Civilian airliners are much bulkier than fighter jets.

Since civil airliners can glide for one or two hundred kilometers.

So what's so strange about a fighter jet's gliding distance exceeding 200 kilometers?
"Stop the engine, stop the engine~~~"

In the cockpit.

The fault warning sound continued.

Jiang Chen held the operating lever firmly, his eyes fixed on the dashboard.

According to the navigator.

The plane is now less than 100 kilometers away from the coastline.

We are getting closer to the airport for emergency landing.

However, the altitude has dropped to about 5000 meters.

There is not much height space left for him.

The two J-7 Flying Leopard fighter jets were like two bodyguards, flying close to his left and right sides.

And just as three fighter planes flew over an island.

Mu Guiying, who was slightly behind, suddenly caught a glimpse of black smoke coming out of the tail wing of the Donkey of Guizhou.

Black smoke?

Didn’t the engine of ‘The Donkey from Guizhou’ stop due to a malfunction?
Why is there black smoke?
She quickly reminded, "Qianzhilu, your tail wing is smoking. Does the flight control system have any prompts?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

Is there smoke?
The dashboard is the same as before, no prompts?

But he hadn't answered yet.

In the cockpit.

The fault tone has changed its content
——"Engine misfire, engine misfire~~~"

Hey!
The engine misfired.

Isn't this just adding insult to injury?
He immediately looked down.

wipe!
I made such a low-level mistake?

Jiang Chen wanted to slap himself twice.

Because he restarted the engine several times when it stopped before.

The last time, the engine restart switch was not reset.

As a result, the engine was always in the state of trying to ignite. Jiang Chen saw this.

Immediately reset the restart engine switch, shut down the engine, and begin checking the EPU.

EPU is the abbreviation of Emergency Power Unit, which means emergency power system.

The function of this system is to provide electricity and air pressure after a fighter engine fails, ensuring that the fighter's minimum attitude can be controlled.

In other words.

As long as the EPU is still functioning properly.

Then even if the aircraft has no power source, the pilot can still control the joystick, rudder, flaps, etc.

You can also fly the plane to complete basic maneuvers such as turning and U-turning.

The operating lever will not be locked.

soon.

EPU inspection completed.

Normal for now.

Jiang Chen pressed the engine extinguisher lever again and began to extinguish the engine.

He was methodical and organized in his operations.

And don't be impatient.

It was as if what he encountered was not a life-threatening event, but a trivial matter.

Seeing this, the two J-7 Flying Leopard pilots on the left and right also showed a hint of admiration on their faces.

Sacrifice situation.

If it were me sitting in the cockpit of the J-11b.

Although it's not scary enough.

But it is absolutely impossible to be so calm.

This young handsome guy.

There's something.

"The Donkey from Qian, report your current situation immediately." At this time, the voice of the middle-aged man sounded again in the communication channel.

Apparently, the front command had received a report from "Mu Guiying" or "Hua Mulan" and learned that the engine of "The Donkey of Guizhou" had caught fire.

Jiang Chen glanced at the dashboard again.

The aircraft is now at an altitude of 4700 meters and an airspeed of 280 knots (518 km/h).
The speed and altitude are sufficient for now.

Then he calmly replied, "My engine caught fire and I'm trying to put it out now."

"The Donkey of Guizhou, you are now less than 30 kilometers away from the coastline and still 70 kilometers away from Weifang Station. But to ensure your safety, you must be ready to parachute as soon as the plane docks," the middle-aged man said again.

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment.

Then he replied, "Report, the beach is too far from Weifang, and it's hard to get a taxi even if I jump. I'd better hold on and return to Weifang for an emergency landing."

Forward finger.

Command hall.

After hearing Jiang Chen's answer.

The middle-aged man was obviously stunned.

It's not just him.

The others also had strange expressions on their faces.

What is this word?

Lives are at stake.

You still have the leisure time to joke?

You really don't take your life seriously, do you?

"The Donkey from Qian, don't be willful. Obey orders. With your current air-slip ratio, you can't fly back." The middle-aged man's tone couldn't help but become a little heavier.

But Jiang Chen still insisted.

No one knows the parameters of the Su-27 Flanker better than me.

Did all those simulator flying and War Thunder playing in vain in the previous life?

I'm not a cloud player.

"Report, I am confident, and the J-11B has a maximum glide distance of over 200 kilometers. My altitude and speed are sufficient."

"That's the limit." The middle-aged man still felt that Jiang Chen was too risky.

"The limit is also determined by flying." Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, "Commander, just think of it as me testing a new model now. I also want to test the limit of this J-11b."
