Bright Sword Military System

Kang Zheng said calmly while distributing the information: "This is a newly developed fighter aircraft by our army. It is jet-type, with swept wings, and has a top speed of 913 kilometers per hour..."

The pilots who had received the information were just about to turn to the first page when they were stunned when they heard the data.

"913 kilometers?" Pan Wenli's voice was filled with doubt: "Top speed?"

"Oh!" Kang Zheng corrected: "It's not the top speed!"

A look of "Sure enough" flashed in Pan Wenli's eyes.

How is it possible that it’s 913 kilometers?

200 kilometers further than the world record?

This cowhide is so awesome!
Unexpectedly, Kang Zheng added: "To be precise, the speed of 913 kilometers per hour is the result of the preliminary test flight. I personally estimate that it can easily exceed 1000 kilometers!"

The conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Pan Wenli was stunned for a while, then silently opened the information. The first thing that caught his eye was a new type of fighter jet that he had never seen before. Its appearance was very different from the fighters that had been used or seen so far.

However, Pan Wenli's eyes did not linger on it. He continued to turn to the next page to find the data. At a glance, he saw that the maximum speed was 913 kilometers per hour and the range was 1700 kilometers. There were several other items left blank, which meant that he was still waiting. The pilot goes and flies it out.

Kang Zheng completely ignored the pilots' shock. He said to himself: "The practical ceiling is about 12000 meters. This is the altitude I just flew yesterday. I haven't had time to fill it in yet! It still needs to be improved!"

This once again confused the pilot.

What is the concept of practical ceiling of 12000 meters?
Fighters in this era can almost reach an altitude of 10000 meters, which is still the maximum ceiling.

But now the practical ceiling of this fighter can reach 13000 meters?
Is it 3000 meters higher than the maximum ceiling of other aircraft?
The difference between the maximum ceiling and the practical ceiling is that the former refers to the maximum altitude that the aircraft can reach, while the latter refers to the altitude at which the aircraft can fly normally.

This is easy to understand. The maximum ceiling is when the aircraft accelerates at full speed and relies on inertia to reach the top. However, it cannot maintain flying status at the top. It must turn into a dive immediately after reaching the top, otherwise it will easily stall and lose control and cause a crash.

The practical ceiling is different. This is the altitude at which the aircraft can fly normally and perform various maneuvers.

This altitude is very important for fighter aircraft.

Because some large bombers take advantage of this to fly and drop bombs at an altitude of [-] meters... Although the bombing accuracy is reduced, it is safe, and enemy fighters cannot fly to this height.

Yingjiang used this method to bomb Hans, and Hans's fighter plane had only one chance to hit the target, and that was to fire at the moment when it accelerated to the maximum ceiling, otherwise it would have to watch the bomber leave.

Now, the practical ceiling of this new fighter jet has reached 13000 meters and it is still "preliminary"?
Wang Xuexin is sure that this is indeed "preliminary". The practical ceiling of the MiG-15 is actually 15544 meters, which means it can fly normally at an altitude of 15000 meters.

The reason why Kang Zheng only flew 13000 meters was still because of "conservative test flight"... If he can fly normally at 11000 meters, he is already the best in the world. If he flies to 13000 meters, he will be almost there. There is no point in risking flying higher. .

After all, pilots are rarer than airplanes at this time, and the safety of pilots' lives is above all else. One less pilot is a major loss to the country and the army.

Pan Wenli and the other pilots looked at each other.

All of them have considerable flying experience, some of them are elites, and of course they know the importance of practical ceiling in air combat:
You can only fly 9000 meters, I can fly 13000 meters.

Does that mean that an altitude above 10000 meters is my absolute safe zone?

Once in danger during the battle, I can pull the plane to this altitude to take a breather and relax!
More importantly, this determines that we are always higher than the enemy, and at a height that the enemy cannot see, and it is always our fighter planes that dive towards the enemy planes...

In fact, in Wang Xuexin's view, this advantage is not important.

Because even without the advantage of a ceiling, they only need to fly at normal speed and the enemy will be nowhere to be found.

Seeing that Kang Zheng was almost done with the introduction, Wang Xuexin interrupted: "We call this fighter jet 'J-2'. Currently there are only 2 of them, and 5 will be produced in a month, with a total of 7. But we have 9 pilots. In other words, the pilots are slightly overstaffed." Then Wang Xuexin raised his hand and said: "If anyone doesn't want to fly this fighter, you can put it forward now, and we will send you back to the army immediately!"

The pilots were all sitting upright, not daring to make a sound. Although Pan Wenli was a tall and thin man, he buried his head low at this time, as if he was afraid of being noticed by Wang Xuexin.

But Wang Xuexin had no intention of letting him go.

"Pan Wenli!"

"To!"

Pan Wenli stood up reflexively and stood at attention.

"What did you just say?" Wang Xuexin asked: "You were the one who said you wanted to return to the army, right?"

"Yes... yes?" Pan Wenli squeezed out a stiff smile in embarrassment: "I, I... I forgot!"

There was a burst of snickering in the conference room, and Wang Xuexin glanced at them and hurriedly stopped it.

Wang Xuexin turned his attention back to Pan Wenli, and said in a difficult tone: "This is not easy to handle! If you don't have a good memory, you can't fly the J-2. If you forget the data, you will be in danger."

As Wang Xuexin spoke, Kang Zheng beside him raised his head: "You think so, captain?"

"Uh...yes!" Kang Zheng responded quickly.

"Why didn't you check your memory during our physical examination?"

"Add this now!"

"If it's not enough, wouldn't it be a problem now? This is no small matter!"

"Screen again..."

"Report to the leader!" Pan Wenli stood up and said: "I have a very good memory, especially the data. If you read it once, it will definitely be good. If you don't believe me, the leader can test me!"

After saying that, he actually handed the information to Wang Xuexin.

Wang Xuexin's expression changed: "Then why don't you remember what you just said?"

"Captain..." Pan Wenli softened instantly: "Look at my memory... it remembers what it should remember and forgets what it shouldn't remember... and it forgets quickly!"

The pilots couldn't bear it any longer and burst into laughter.

In fact, Pan Wenli didn't need to be so nervous at all.

This is not at all a matter of 9 pilots flying 7 planes with 2 overstaffed.

Instead, in the coming months, aircraft will be produced one after another but pilots are still being trained.

In other words, the "J-2" can only rely on nine of them for air combat in the future.

It was impossible for Wang Xuexin to force Pan Wenli back to his original army just because of his words.

But having said that, Pan Wenli probably knew this, so he dared to use jokes to resolve this "crisis" so easily!
Otherwise, he might not even be able to smile.
