Chapter 562: Heavy landing of the plane, triggering 'death bounce'

It was seen that this FC-31 Falcon almost crashed into the runway.

Everyone, including Gong Yuanlei, couldn't help but twitch their faces.

Yes.

During this period of time, they have long been accustomed to the "heavy landing" method of landing.

After all, you can enjoy a naval carrier-based aircraft performing a 'heavy landing' every day.

That J-15D electronic warfare aircraft almost always "smashed" onto the runway every time it landed.

So everyone in the base has long been accustomed to it.

But Jiang Chen's "heavy landing" today was completely different from that of the Navy's J-15D.

The J-15D's "heavy landing" is still within a reasonable range.

The landing speed was about 200 to feet, and the descent rate did not exceed feet per minute.

However, Jiang Chen's "heavy landing" is not only fast, but also has a descent rate more than twice that of an ordinary aircraft.

It was like a free fall, completely crashing onto the runway.

What is even more worrying is...

The left wing of this FC-31 Falcon was almost broken.

When flying in the air, I was worried that it would fall apart.

Now it was 'smashing' onto the runway at over 400 mph and a descent rate of over feet per minute.

Can the aircraft fuselage still withstand it?

Therefore, this heavy "smash" was the most dangerous and critical part of this forced landing.

If you can't bear it, everything is over.

If you make it through, the chances of survival will increase a little.

Bang!
There was a dull thud of something heavy falling to the ground.

Although the sound was not loud, it was even covered by the roar of the aircraft engine.

But whether it was Jiang Chen in the cockpit or the people on both sides of the runway, they all seemed to have heard this dull sound.

Following a dull sound.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

Staring at the runway in the distance without blinking.

I didn't even dare to breathe.

In the cockpit.

The moment the plane "smashed" onto the runway, Jiang Chen also felt as if his body was falling heavily from a high altitude.

Bang!
next second.

A huge rebound force instantly acted on the fuselage of the aircraft.

Jiang Chen in the cockpit was naturally also affected.

This tremendous force caused his internal organs to shift instantly, and a stuffy pressure on his chest made it difficult for him to breathe.

My butt is completely numb.

Jiang Chen now can't even feel the existence of his buttocks.

But this is not the most important thing.

The most terrible thing is.

The plane was actually bounced back into the air by this rebound force.

Dolphin jump?
Jiang Chen was shocked.

Mahler Gobi.

The landing speed was too fast, the descent rate was too high, and Jiang Chen also used the "three-point heavy landing", so the rebound force generated when the plane landed was too great, which not only destroyed the shock absorption system of the aircraft's landing gear, but also bounced the aircraft back into the air.

So what happened was what all pilots fear the most - the dolphin jumped.

The reason why dolphin jump is feared by all pilots.

This is because once this phenomenon is triggered, the result is either death or injury, and the mortality rate is frighteningly high.

So the dolphin jump has another more intuitive name - the death bounce.

Dolphin jump, English name 'bounced landing'.

It is named because the aircraft makes a dolphin-like jump during landing.

There are many reasons why an aircraft 'dolphin jump' occurs.

There are factors of human operational errors, such as the pilot not releasing the throttle when the aircraft touches down, or leveling off too early or too late, too high a descent rate, too fast an airspeed when touching down, etc.

There are also weather reasons, such as wind shear or low-altitude turbulence.

But whether it is human error or weather reasons.

As long as the plane triggers the "dolphin jump" when landing, the probability of the plane crash will increase sharply.

This is because after a plane experiences a "dolphin jump", it is very easy to lose control.

In particular, the nose of the aircraft will shift to the left or right irregularly.

The plane overran the runway and crashed.

And if the plane jumps several times continuously, the fuselage will encounter a weight several times its own, and will hit the runway again.

The fuselage is solid.

No matter how strong the landing gear is, it can't withstand such a heavy fall.

So after a few consecutive jumps, the aircraft's landing gear would be overwhelmed and break completely.

No landing gear.

The plane could only run off the runway and crash.

So if a plane encounters a 'dolphin jump', can the pilot just wait for death?

of course not.

If the plane encounters a "dolphin jump" during landing, the best and safest way is to immediately pull up the nose and take off again.

Only a go-around can offset the force of the "dolphin jump" on the aircraft fuselage.

The issue is.

Can Jiang Chen fly again now?
Obviously not.

He only had half of his wings left.

It’s good enough that we’re not going around in circles.

Go-around?

It is easier to be reborn as a human being than to take off again.

Since a go-around is not advisable.

Now Jiang Chen’s only option is to completely turn off the throttle lever while tightly controlling the aircraft’s control stick.

Then I prayed silently that the front and rear landing gear of this FC-31 Falcon were strong enough.

Able to withstand the double blow of impact and rebound force.

I don’t know if Jiang Chen’s prayers worked.

Bang!
When the plane hit the runway again.

The front and rear landing gear are temporarily fine.

Between the electric light and flint.

Jiang Chen seized the opportunity.

Press the bar forward suddenly and lower your head.

He was the first to stabilize the nose of the plane before it bounced again.

The FC-31 Falcon was launched again.

But the force of the second time was obviously much smaller.

And because the plane is missing half of its wing, although the speed still exceeds the take-off speed, losing half a wing means losing more than half of the lift.

After the second bounce.

The FC-31 Falcon was finally stabilized.

Then it rushed forward along the runway at a speed of over 220 knots.

How many kilometers per hour is equivalent to 220 knots?
Four hundred and seven kilometers per hour.

Such a fast speed.

It only takes a moment to rush out of the runway.

However, the 'arresting cable' that was deployed in advance was of great use this time.

Rumble~~~Rumble~~~
I saw this FC-31 Falcon with half of its wings broken roaring over.

After the fuselage passed the first arresting cable, the tail hook successfully hooked the arresting cable.

Bang!
The fuselage paused slightly.

Then the arresting cable was torn apart.

Obviously.

Ordinary steel cables cannot serve the purpose of "arresting cables", let alone stop the already runaway FC-31 Falcon.

it's fine.

The first one didn't work, so I tried the second, third, and fourth.
Almost in the blink of an eye.

Ten arresting cables were broken.

However, the 'sacrifice' of these ten arresting cables is worth it.

Because the speed of the aircraft has dropped sharply from 220 knots to 150 knots.

There are now ten arresting cables left.

As long as these ten barrier cables are effective.

Then the speed of the aircraft can drop by dozens of knots.

By the time.

An airplane traveling at only a few dozen miles per hour.

There is no need to block the rope to slow down.

It is sufficient to activate the braking system and the parachute.

But just when everyone's faces became a little more relaxed and thought that the situation had been settled.

Something happened again.
