Chapter 108 New Avionics System (3 more chapters in the afternoon)
The intelligent cockpit cover has been installed and the electrical connections have been made.

The folding wings were installed on the Flying Shark fuselage, and the avionics equipment in the cockpit was not moved much. After all, operating habits exist, and pilots must modify them when flying different aircraft models.

Multiple LCD panels are integrated together to form a large piece, and the material does not seem to be an ordinary LCD screen. The internal layout is like a fuel vehicle transformed into a domestic new energy vehicle.

When Liu Jun sat in the cockpit, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar cockpit, he suddenly felt like he was flying a sci-fi fighter jet.

Wearing a new type of anti-gravity suit, Liu Jun slowly sat down on the new seat. He saw the technicians take out several data cables and connect them to the interfaces on the anti-gravity suit. A charging symbol appeared in the column showing the battery level in the upper right corner of the helmet.

This design is quite soulful and completely in line with human habits.

With two redundantly designed data cables connected to the aircraft body, Liu Jun placed his left hand on the familiar throttle and his right hand on the right side stick. He felt it slightly and found it was indeed more comfortable than the central control stick. He looked at the technician standing outside the cockpit.

"Change the side stick."

"Yes, it's a side bar, for installing a reclining seat with intelligent adjustment."

Cockpit side sticks have many benefits, including reducing the weight of the flight control system, lowering the cockpit space requirements of the control stick, improving the aircraft's handling quality, reducing the pilot's workload, improving the pilot's ability to resist overload when combined with the reclining seat, reducing the pilot's inertial vibration when combined with the armrest, facilitating the operation of the front controller, etc.

Side stick, tilt. These auxiliary functions are entirely for increasing the pilot's anti-G capability. At this moment, Liu Jun is somewhat skeptical whether the engine of this J15T is still the WS-10H. The wing still has the familiar layout, but it is not known whether the wing shape will be changed by "twisting". The original phased array radar has been completely cancelled, leaving only the receiver, ultraviolet proximity warning system, and RWR warning device.

In other words, the J15T's situational awareness of other human fighter jets is only within the detection range of the EODAS system, and the rest is controlled by data links and systems.

Outside, several technicians pulled cables and connected them to J15T, and powered the engine externally before it was started.

"Have you checked the cables?" the technician called out.

"All right!"

"Comrade, activate the systems. I need to make adjustments to the flight controls."

"understand!"

Liu Jun started the avionics system according to the instructions of the technicians.

【Program start】

With a swish, the entire control console lit up, a black background with a green display, no other superfluous colors. Besides the highly integrated cockpit panel, the front canopy also lit up, highlighting the outlines of various objects as identified by the optoelectronic system.

Liu Jun also wondered if the front canopy had the same functions as his helmet, including high-definition thermal imaging and other high-precision photoelectric sensors, and might even have integrated dual-mounted biological imaging sensors.

In terms of the avionics system alone, Liu Jun feels that it is on par with the fifth-generation aircraft, and is even heading towards the fifth-generation and a half or sixth-generation aircraft.

Check aerodynamic surfaces

"Understood!" Every aerodynamic surface, up and down, left and right.
From a distance, Song Xizhu observed the J15T's avionics system's reaction after activation. He saw the previously dark nose fairing and canopy slowly change color, as if a rainbow of colors were flowing within, only more subdued. Even from close up, he could see the patterns of microcircuits engraved on them. This was just a hastily assembled, semi-finished product. Many of the internal components were J15T-grade. If more alien technology were incorporated...
"Engineer Song, is this still our plane?"

A technician nearby whispered that the J15T gave him the feeling that it had gradually deviated from humanity's original approach to fighter jet design and was heading into unfamiliar territory. No one else could help, and Tokyo University could only explore on its own.

"Yes, but it uses a small amount of alien technology."

Song Xizhu understood that this J15T itself was also testing whether humans could integrate the technology of alien civilizations into their own systems. Although the proportion was small, combat was the best way to test technology. As long as the reliability in combat was sufficient, it was only a matter of time before the technology was rolled out.

The technician checked the aerodynamic surface in the notebook in front of him and continued, "The aerodynamic surface is normal. Let's test the vector nozzle."

"Isn't this WS-10H?" Liu Jun asked, looking at the engine model displayed on the system.

"The improved model of WS-10H, WS-10HS, has a vector nozzle installed. However, there is not enough time, so we can only make some minor upgrades. Considering reliability, we only have a binary vector nozzle. You must pay attention when operating it!" The technician emphasized that the new technologies on the J15T are strictly controlled, otherwise it can be bolder, but boldness means that problems may arise, which will require thousands or even tens of thousands of test flights to solve.

Liu Jun has never flown a J15T with vector nozzles, but the addition of vector nozzles proves that this J15T is fully specialized in maneuverability. It will definitely be much weaker in other aspects. After all, fighter jets are not hexagonal. Increasing the performance of one aspect will definitely affect the performance of other aspects.

As Liu Jun controlled the nozzle, the square vector engine moved up and down.

"Great!"

Liu Jun could already imagine how smooth the maneuvering would be with the assistance of the vector nozzle. This was all the result of the efforts of the technical staff.

After repeated tests, technicians fine-tuned the parameters and controlled the reaction speed of the vector nozzle to make it more in line with Liu Jun's operating habits. The same goes for each aerodynamic surface. This J15T is a limited edition tailor-made for Liu Jun.

"Okay, next let's test the 30-2 cannon."

"30-2?"

Liu Jun was familiar with this machine gun. The Russian SU25 was equipped with a 30-2, with a firing rate of more than rounds per minute. A fast firing rate means a high firepower density.

"Haven't we discovered that the aliens have armor on their bodies? This time we're using tungsten core armor-piercing discarding sabot rounds, and this alien civilization is using armor-piercing rounds to counter us! Let's smash its tortoise shell!"

For stacked armor, just like the last caliber discarding sabot bullet, this thing on the 30MM machine gun can penetrate the side of the tank, and it is like a can opener when hitting the top.

As he spoke, the cannon cover opened and several technicians began loading the ammunition box.
"Removing the entire radar system frees up a lot of space and weight, which is perfect for installing a 30-2. It balances the weight and also doubles the ammunition reserve."

After hearing what the technician said, Liu Jun wanted to complain in his heart, with a firing rate of 30-2, all 300 rounds of spare ammunition would be poured out in the blink of an eye!

With a rattling sound, the 30-2 machine gun was loaded with ammunition, and then the technicians fastened the special material cover with screws.

"Scatter! Get out of the way! They're about to fire! Secure your machine! Be prepared!"
