311. Falcon, Mach 9
"A group of self-righteous guys..." Vinson snorted coldly and curled his lips disdainfully: "Didn't those politicians feel that they are becoming more and more envious and ambitious? If you continue to indulge yourself, you will only shoot yourself in the foot!"
"General, pay attention to your tone!" The Air Force Chief of Staff said with a louder voice: "This is the greatest guarantee for us to maintain our technological leadership in the next century. This is the long-term strategy of our army. You are not qualified to question it.: Read novels."
"I understand!" Vinson's eyes were full of unwillingness, but he could only raise his hand to salute: "I will do my duty."
"That's good!" The Air Force Chief of Staff nodded slightly.
At this moment, a takeoff signal was also heard outside, and the test officially began and both sides could take off.
This signal also attracted all the attention of the incoming machine, and they all turned their attention out. On the runway below, two incoming machines started at the same time, bursting out with dull roars.
After doing so much, I waited for the last one. I looked at it in a flash, and I didn't dare to show my vigor.
The test was about to begin, so Chen Chen was too lazy to get involved with Thomas and waited for the test process with peace of mind.
Below, the two engines entering the aircraft were roaring louder and louder, and the spouts were sprayed with blue flames at the same time. The difference is that the flames of the falcon sprayed are backwards, while the flames of the young horse sprayed are downwards.
This abnormality immediately attracted all the attention.
"That...is it..."
Before they could exclaim, the facts immediately gave the answer!
As the takeoff signal was issued, the falcon immediately began to slide forward, and the speed became more and more. On the other side, the Yaoma had no intention of sliding forward. With the strong airflow from the flames, it immediately lifted up its huge fuselage steadily and floated towards the air.
After reaching a certain height, the nozzle twisted and turned backwards, and then it sprayed out dazzling flames, shaking the powerful airflow, pushing the aircraft into the air and stabbing straight into the air, like a sharp sword piercing into the sky.
At this time, the Falcon enters the plane and is still in a gliding state, but the speed is getting more and more, so I guess I can get enough lift.
But in any case, the aircraft entering the plane has already seized the lead in the takeoff stage, and at least a few minutes of advantage is taken out, which also represents the difference in the reaction time between the aircraft entering the plane receiving the task to takeoff.
In modern warfare, the reaction time requirements are also extremely high. If you take off a few minutes earlier and arrive at the battlefield, you may attack more targets or save more soldiers. However, if you take off a few minutes later, you may miss the opportunity to fight.
Therefore, seeing Yaoma seize the initiative, Northrop Grumman's side could not help but show excitement. After many nights of hard work, it finally got a reward at this moment. Yaoma did not disappoint himself.
"Vertical take-off and landing?" In the data room, Vincent nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the Air Force Chief of Staff and the Air Force Secretary: "Yaoma's design is so mesmerizing, it's really a bit exciting."
"It's just the beginning." The Air Force Chief of Staff and the Air Force Minister snorted disdainfully, seemingly dissatisfied: "Continue to watch it, the good show is still coming."
They had a little understanding of the Falcon's ability, so they were not worried at all.
Take off and take the lead for a few minutes is not a skill, but winning the final victory is the key. Moreover, this is still an unfair competition. What's there to worry about?
At this moment, the two aircraft took off one after another, adjusted their course, and flew along their respective designated routes. Before entering the low-altitude hidden assault, there was still a high-altitude flight, so there was no special look at it at the beginning.
Chen Chen stood behind the cāo writer and looked at the movements of the machine calmly. It can be seen that this cāo writer has received a long period of practice and is well aware of all kinds of skills of the Ao Ma. Therefore, he is also very skilled in his work and has basically no extra movements. Any one can perfectly exert his energy advantages.
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen calmed down slightly. On how cruel the external plan was prepared and how much trouble the external cause brought to himself, the key is that there cannot be problems within.
If there are internal problems in this situation, it will be over and there will be no chance at all.
There is no internal problem now, and you can do everything to the best, so don’t worry too much, and there will be a great opportunity.
The key problem is that the other party's journey is almost one-third shorter than that of himself. This is a fact that the method avoids it. Fortunately, the terrain of the entire test route is complex and tests the maneuverability of both parties to the plane. Otherwise, if it were purely for speed, I could have raised my hand and surrendered directly.
Now, it depends on how far the maneuver of the Yaoma machine can reach, whether the cāo operator can fully utilize this advantage, and rely on this advantage to gain enough time advantage to make up for the difference in distance.
In the data room, the two aircraft have continuously transmitted various flight parameters back and displayed on the instrument.
"The two aircraft are flying very smoothly and have very high speeds." The technician also reported the situation in a timely manner: "The real-time speed of the Yaoma aircraft is Mach 3.5... and it is still increasing, 3.7...3.9...4.2...4.4...The current speed of the Yaoma aircraft is Mach 4.45. The estimated maximum speed is Mach 4.5."
"It's very shocking, isn't it?" Vincent smiled faintly and nodded with satisfaction: "Vertical take-off and landing, Mach 4.5 maximum speed, what else can we ask for for an incoming plane?"
"Is this a shocking thing?" In response, the Air Force Chief of Staff and the Air Force Secretary couldn't help but sneer with disdain: "General, take a good look at the speed of the Falcon, you will know what a shocking thing is!"
"Falcon's instant speed..." The technician quickly looked to the other side. After seeing the data clearly, he opened his mouth in surprise and rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "Yao o, am I dazzled? What did I see? Six Mach...7 Mach...7:5...8:00...8:5...8:7...The current speed is 8:7 Mach! The estimated maximum speed is 9 Mach! Yao o, is this a Rocket?"
Hearing this string of data, the Air Force Chief of Staff and the Air Force Minister immediately showed their faces, and glanced at Vincent with a relaxed and playful look: "My Assistant Minister, do you think when you hear this data?"
"The speed is very shocking!" Vincent was an entry without any hesitation and nodded in agreement: "It seems that this is the result of the technology they provide. Nine Mach is simply insurmountable for an entry into the aircraft."
"Falcon can easily throw any interception behind his head!" The Air Force Chief of Staff and the Air Force Secretary sneered and nodded: "In front of Falcon, there is no interception. What kind of fighter pilots, go to hell! Now, do you have any questions?"
"Of course there is!" Vinson said with a expression on his face: "What we need is not a rocket, but an invading attack aircraft that can perform accurate strikes in complex terrain. Mach 4.5 is enough, and what I care about is maneuvering."
"Don't give up?" The Air Force Chief of Staff and the Air Force Secretary sneered at the same time: "Then let's watch it."
While speaking, the two aircraft entered the aircraft had reached the designated low-altitude assault position.
At this moment, each of them deviates from the body and begins to drop in height.
It has to be said that the power of the Falcon is still very excellent. At least compared with the existing aircraft, it is excellent enough. The rollover and drop movement is very rapid, just like a falcon that is discovering prey and is launching a fast hunting.
However, such actions seem clumsy compared to Yaoma.
Almost at the moment of entering the position, before all the movements were clearly seen, Yaoma had already turned around and entered a low-altitude flight state, as if it was moving in an instant, and it seemed that he had never flew high altitude.
In this way, the Falcon relied on its absolute speed advantage for a few minutes and was pulled away by Yaoma again.
"What's going on?" Seeing this scene, the Air Force Chief of Staff and the Air Force Secretary opened their eyes wide in shock, almost unable to believe what they saw: "What did Yaoma do? How could he suddenly enter a low altitude flight?"
"Let me explain!" Vinson smiled faintly from the side, and then said: "When the nine-macher's high-speed state, the steering must be slowed down. With the Falcon's slender fuselage, forcibly turning will cause out of control."
"What about Yaoma?" The Air Force Chief of Staff frowned and the Air Force Secretary: "Mach 4.5 is enough. Will it not lose control if you force a turn?"
"Of course not, this is determined by the aerodynamic layout." Vinson smiled and shook his head: "Yaoma's fuselage is wide enough to forcefully change its flight state at high speed. It is the same as drift in a racing car. It will complete the steering without slowing down. By the way, do you know whether the two commanders know about racing? You can take the time to take a look, which is very interesting."
I see your sister!
At this moment, the two people could only curse in their hearts.
Who would have thought that Yaoma's mobility was so shocking that both people became a little jealous. Of course, in comparison, they were still angry at Vincent's straightforwardness.
It seems to be just for the sake of getting angry, Vincent added another sentence next to it: "Actually, I am a little grateful to the two commanders for arranging such a route, which can perfectly show the Pegasus xing. I am really looking forward to it."
Two people are almost going crazy.
But what can it be? They have worked together for many years and have long understood that Vincent is such a standard iron-blooded army, who is straightforward and rather breaking than bend, and say whatever he has, and never give any mercy.
