Chapter 587 Accident handling(1/2)
"Who are you?" After being scolded all over the face, Zhang Ye was a little confused and couldn't help but ask.
"He is the founder of our navy's aircraft carrier formation." A voice came: "Although he is not a soldier, he is really qualified to criticize you."
Zhang Ye looked over following the voice and saw a familiar figure: Li Yan, the captain of the 001 aircraft carrier!
"Our navy now has carrier-based fixed-wing aviation, which is entirely due to President Qin." Another voice said, it was Wang Wei who was following Li Yan closely.
Hearing what the two said, Zhang Ye opened his eyes wide: "Are you Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group?"
"Yeah." Qin Tao nodded: "However, don't take their exaggerated introduction to heart. Our navy's ability to have carrier-based aviation is the result of the efforts of countless people. I just pushed it, and it was all by myself.
But we can’t afford to build such a big pomp.”
After all, Wu Shengli was older and walked slower, so he fell behind. At this time, hearing Qin Tao's words, Wu Shengli was very satisfied. As his son-in-law, he would never take credit or be arrogant. What he said now made it very clear.
good.
"Mr. Qin, don't be too angry. Most people can't understand the pilot's feelings for the aircraft. The pilot flies the War Eagle, and the two are like brothers. When encountering such a malfunction, the pilot's first reaction must be to save the aircraft.
Plane, save national property. This is the instinct of pilots." Later, Wang Wei spoke again.
"Damn it, you heard the order to parachute, why don't you parachute?" As soon as Wang Wei finished speaking, Delano came up angrily. Because of his anger, his raised right hand was shaking, and his words became more and more weird.
After staying here for a long time, many Americans have learned to speak Chinese, but the tone is always a little different, and now it is even weirder because of anger.
"Pilots are the most precious, and planes are nothing! Once you encounter danger, don't hesitate and choose to parachute immediately! Especially our carrier-based aircraft pilots are dancers on the tip of a knife. If you are not careful, your plane may crash.
If the plane is destroyed, it can be rebuilt, but if the people are gone, then there is nothing!"
Different countries have very different ideas, and cultural differences between the East and the West have always existed.
However, when it comes to training carrier-based aircraft pilots, there are no two standards!
As their instructor, Delano yelled at this time: "You are such a fool, a hopeless fool. If it weren't for Lao Maozi's advanced ejection seat technology, you would have become a meat pie on the ground."
It disgusts us every day!"
Even the catapults of American carrier-based aircraft do not have this kind of performance! If it were at sea, it could be ejected in the same posture as before and still land on the water, waiting for helicopters to salvage it, but now it is on land.
With that kind of posture, he was ejected and hit the ground directly!
At that time, Delano also broke into a cold sweat. When he saw the ejection seat drawing an arc with the pilot, he realized that it was Lao Maozi's famous K-36 ejection seat.
In the world, only this ejection seat can save a pilot's life!
"Yes. Thanks to this ejection seat." Wu Shengli finally said: "At the beginning, when we were going to build a carrier-based aircraft, President Qin repeatedly suggested that we must not install our own ejection seats, but install old ones.
Damn it, so our navy gritted its teeth and equipped these aircraft with K-36 ejection seats. After all, the pilots we spent a lot of money to train are more valuable than the aircraft. Now, it seems that our pilots are safe and sound.
, which shows that our choice at that time was not wrong!”
Is this all thanks to myself?
Qin Tao also lamented that no matter what, although the plane crashed this time, the pilot was still alive. What a blessing among misfortunes!
"Domestic ejection seat R&D institutions should also work harder. They must not only copy the K-36D ejection seat, but also improve it. Combining the advantages of the East and the West to develop advanced ejection seats
come out."
So far, domestic ejection seats are still relatively backward. The HTY-5 ejection seat developed for the J-10 is already the latest model, but it is just fine for use on the J-10. It is used on the two-seat Flying Leopard fighter-bomber.
, is often unfriendly to front-seat pilots. After all, its reaction time is 0.6 seconds. It takes 1.2 seconds for a two-seat aircraft to eject from the front and rear, while the K-36D's ejection seat time is only 0.4 seconds.
The most important ejection seat in the West is the product of Martin-Baker Company, and its life-saving rate is not as good as that of Lao Maozi's product. Of course, both of them have their own advantages. Martin-Baker's product is light in weight and has advanced sensors, while Lao Maozi's product
The disadvantage of Maozi's ejection seat is that it is heavy and the sensor is lagging behind.
Therefore, it is not only necessary to imitate, but also to use advanced technology to improve. After all, after the collapse of the Red Empire, Lao Maozi started to rest on his laurels, and there will not be much improvement.
The K-36 ejection seat has been designed since 1961, and in 2020, its modifications are still being used.
"Yes, we can't keep using imported goods. They are too expensive. During the negotiations to introduce the Su-27, Lao Maozi did not give us the technology to eject the seat. We have no other choice but to use the old method. First,
Copy it and then improve it."
After saying this, Wu Shengli frowned again and looked at the fighter plane whose flames had been extinguished: "However, this plane crashed. Such a serious second-class accident must be carefully investigated."
"Of course it needs to be investigated." Qin Tao said: "This time it is a telex failure. Technical personnel from the 601 Institute must come over to clarify the cause. Before that, all J-15s must be grounded to avoid another similar situation.
Flight accident.”
In the past, airplanes were hydraulically operated, just like the brakes of a car. When you step on the brake pump, you can still press hard even if there is no power assist.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today's aircraft are operated by fly-by-wire, and the control stick directly converts the pilot's operations into electronic signals. After interpretation by the computer, they are transmitted to each control surface and engine. This
Just like the brakes of an electric car, when you press your foot, it is just an electronic signal and will not directly act on the wheels. Whether to perform this action depends on the analysis and judgment of the computer.
The current telex failure occurred in the middle analysis and judgment. It was found that the aircraft was tilting up, and Zhang Ye was pushing the control stick forward hard. However, the rudder surface of the aircraft did not perform this action and continued to tilt up!
The computer has run out of order, or the computer has taken control of the pilot. This is very dangerous, and this fault must be solved!
The experts from Institute 601 arrived before dawn in the early morning. When they saw the wreckage of the crashed fighter plane, the expressions on their faces were solemn.
Sun Chang and Luo Yang looked at each other, and then said: "We need to carefully understand the pilot's operations at that time."
"Of course there is no problem. In order to study whether the carrier-based aircraft pilot's landing action was up to standard and what needs to be improved, we specially installed a video device in the cockpit." Wang Wei introduced: "You can watch the video at that time."
Any aircraft has a black box, but the black box only records data. At most, it adds the sound of the radio call at that time. There will be no video, and ordinary fighter cockpits will not record, except for the training of their navy's carrier-based aircraft pilots!
With the video, everything will be clear. After investigating the black box, the technicians will come to the conclusion that the pilot's action of pulling the control stick backward caused the aircraft to tilt up: Look, the data here shows that the pilot was tilting backward at that time.
Pull the lever!
If there is no video, the electronic signal has the final say whether the brakes are applied or not.
"Don't move the wreckage of the plane for the time being. You can cover it with a camouflage net first. We have to study it carefully. Now, let's go see the video and black box first." Sun Chong said.
It is best if this kind of accident is not known to the outside world. Anyway, the accident happened last night. As long as a camouflage net is put up before dawn, no one will know about it.
"Okay." Li Yan nodded: "We will ground all J-15s until we find the real cause of the malfunction and make improvements."
When he heard this, Sun Chong immediately frowned: "Why?"
"Since there are signs of malfunction, of course all flights must be grounded for inspection." Li Yan said: "This is a common practice. It is not easy to train our carrier-based aircraft pilots, but a similar situation cannot happen again."
"What if it's an operational error?"
"That will have to wait until a comprehensive appraisal." A stern voice sounded.
Yesterday, Wu Shengli worked until midnight, so Wu Shengli got up late this morning. When he heard that experts from the 601 Institute were coming, Wu Shengli hurried over, and when he heard Sun Chong's words, he immediately became angry.
What kind of operational error? In order to protect the aircraft, our pilots have missed the precious time to parachute! You actually want to shirk responsibility?
"Not only your technical staff from the 601st Institute, but also some experts from our Air Force's equipment department will form a joint investigation team to jointly investigate the cause of this accident." Wu Shengli said, just based on what he just said, he was worried.
Yes, you need to add an extra layer of insurance.
"Leader Wu, please rest assured, we will investigate clearly as soon as possible." Luo Yang said: "The fighter planes we produce must ensure the absolute safety of the pilots, and similar accidents must not occur."
Luo Yang is the person in charge of the J-15 project. He is under a lot of pressure at this time, but he knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed and must be cautious.
When the sky in the east began to light up, a video was played in the office of the base.
The video recorder is located on the instrument panel, so you can clearly see the pilot's every move, and you can also see part of the scene outside through the cockpit cover.
The fighter plane was landing skillfully, and the pilot was operating the plane calmly. Although he was flying at a low altitude, the pilot still wore an oxygen mask and was meticulous. Through the helmet and mask, his determined eyes could be seen.
Falling, continuing to fall, suddenly, the nose of the aircraft began to tilt up. The pilot quickly pressed down the control stick, but the nose of the aircraft was still tilting up. You can easily see the nose-up movement by rotating the sky on both sides.
!
"117 report, telex failure!" the pilot called while continuing to press the control lever and push the control lever forward with all his strength, but it made no sense!
"117, skydive, skydive immediately!"
The sound on the radio was also recorded, but the pilot seemed not to hear it and continued to save the plane.
What a cute pilot! When he saw the footage on the video, Qin Tao was moved again. Last night, he seriously criticized the pilot's behavior, but that was just anxious, but now, he is moved
.
The view outside the cockpit is still changing, and the lights on the land can already be seen, indicating that the plane's pitch angle has exceeded 90 degrees!
Skydive, skydive! The sound was still ringing. The pilot finally stopped hesitating and pulled the ejection tab. Then, the vision was filled with red.
"Now, can you still say it was a pilot error?" Wang Wei's tone was cold.
"There is no problem with the pilot's operation." Luo Yang said: "It seems that the fault did occur in our fly-by-wire control. Different from the analog fly-by-wire control of the J-11, we use digital on the J-15
Telex, there is probably a bug in the code."
"Luo Gong! Don't jump to conclusions casually!" Sun frowned in a hurry.
"Yeah, we haven't decided yet. Next, we should check all the data and conduct system analysis to find out why the telex system performed the wrong operation in the first place."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What if it is accidental?" A fellow technician said.
There has been an accident and all flights have to be grounded! For them, this is a major blow. What is even more annoying is what if it is an accidental failure and the cause cannot be found?
This is just like a computer. If it runs for a long time, it may crash. This thing is completely unpredictable. After investigation, no reason can be found. After restarting, the fault disappears.
If the cause had to be found to enable a go-around, then what if they would never find it?
"Accidental malfunctions are not acceptable, we must find the cause, and we must be responsible to the end!" Luo Yang's attitude was very firm.
To be continued...
