The strongest pilot ever

Chapter 48
48 High Altitude Ambush
Time flies, and it will be the 24th of May in a blink of an eye, and the air combat competition of the First Flight Academy will start soon.

All participating squadrons are working hard, waiting to become famous in the first battle.

Fade Chen and their No. [-] Squadron are also ready to go.

As long as there is time, everyone will gather to discuss the tactics and strategies of air combat.

Fade Chen, Qin Qingyu and Huang Haijun were hanging out on the school football field and discussing.

Li Donghai didn't come, and this guy went somewhere, so only three people participated in the analysis and discussion this time.

However, just after the three discussed for a while, Li Donghai trotted over panting: "Brothers, let me tell you a big secret!" Li Donghai said excitedly.

What secret?
Everyone looked at Li Donghai curiously.

"Around NO.30, a group of Air Force pilots from Pakistan-Tiexi will visit our school. I heard that the No.1 in the air combat competition will be able to communicate with them!"

Ba-Iron?
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

The relationship between Ba-Tie and us is naturally very good. Some people say that they are brothers like iron, and they will never change. Fade Chen has reservations about such arguments. In the early years, they wanted to play with the Americans, but they were kicked away by others, and they were also slapped. They had no other choice, so they came to play with us, and we just needed such a game from time to time. The little brother who can jump out to help us shout, so the two sides hit it off immediately. It is really a bit too much to say that they are brothers in life and death, but it is true that they have a good relationship.

Chen Fei became excited for no reason when he heard that Ba-Tie would send a team to compete with them.

Those guys can’t be underestimated. Although their equipment is not good, but to be honest in air combat, in many aspects, they can be our masters. Most of our air combat is just exercises and theoretical deduction, but they are for real!Someone once said that in Asia, Pakistan-Tie said that they were second in air combat, but no one dared to say that they were number one.

As for air combat, no matter how good the theoretical derivation is, it’s just talk on paper. There is no actual combat test, and no matter how good it is, it’s useless. No matter how powerful it is, the F35 has always swept away other fighters. Even in many exercises, it was invincible against the fifth-generation fighters of the same generation. However, according to limited information, their F35s belonged to the same level. The extraterrestrial planes were also beaten to the ground, because their tactics were all derived from theory, and no one had ever experienced real combat!

Therefore, air combat and air combat must have actual combat, and those with actual combat experience and those without actual combat experience are definitely two different things!

Therefore, when Fade Chen heard that someone was coming over there, he was immediately excited. If he could communicate with them and learn a lot, it would really be of great benefit!
So, be sure to get No.1.

Several other people also became excited when they heard it.

"Then what else is there to say, brothers, come on." Li Donghai said excitedly.

"Yes, after getting No.1, not only can we communicate with them, but the school will also give us a bonus, when the time comes."

Thinking of holding a stack of thick renminbi in his hand, Qin Qingyu couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Yes, we have to work hard!"

Huang Haijun couldn't help being excited when he remembered that he would be able to brag in front of a group of brothers in the future that he had communicated with a group of Pakistan-Tie Air Force.

Several people walked and talked.

Li Donghai said: "I just heard that this time the air combat competition, the organizing committee will not set up any rules, unlimited air combat!"

unlimited?
Qin Qingyu and Huang Haijun were taken aback when they heard this.

Fade Chen's pupils also froze suddenly.

Unlimited air combat.

"So, this air battle is not easy!"

"Yeah, without the rules and restrictions, it's not easy to play. We used to have a lot of rules in training!"

Several people fell silent together.

After a while, Li Donghai said: "Actually, it's nothing. We are driving the Chujiao VI. For this kind of aircraft, as long as you master one, you can win every battle."

Huang Haijun and Qin Qingyu looked at him together.

"Energy maneuver!" Li Donghai said word by word.

Energy maneuver?

Both of them were startled, and in an instant, their eyes lit up.

The theory of energy maneuvering is a concise and beautiful mathematical expression proposed by John-Boyd of the U.S. Air Force to evaluate the maneuverability of fighter jets:

Fighter's Specific Excess Power (SEP) = (Thrust - Drag) * Speed/Weight.

At any point in the flight envelope, the side with the higher SEP prevails.

To put it simply, if you want to kill the opponent, you need to dominate the energy!
Energy maneuver?

Fade Chen frowned, hesitant to speak, but he didn't say anything in the end.

He actually has different opinions, but after thinking about it, he feels that it is not a good thing to put forward different opinions now.

What's more, he can't guarantee whether his ideas are right or not, and, even if they are right, is it applicable to the current Huang Haijun and others? This is also a question!
Several people were eloquently discussing how to fight tomorrow's air battle.

Seeing that Fade Chen had been silent, Li Donghai turned his head and asked, "Fade Chen, don't you have any opinions."

Fade Chen thought for a while and said, "Then let me add something, high-altitude ambush, we should make a fuss about this."

High-altitude ambush?

The three people next to me were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then their eyes brightened.

The strategy Fade Chen mentioned is really like Zhuge Liang's clever plan, it is very powerful.

In the usual air combat training, the tower will designate the airspace and altitude. For example, the two of you are required to fight in the airspace of 1000 meters. Naturally, both sides will fly the planes to around 1000 meters. It is impossible to be completely consistent, but the difference will not be too big. This At that time, the student pilots can easily find each other.

But in a real air battle, there is often a huge difference in altitude between the two sides. For example, one plane is in an airspace of 4000 meters, and the other is in an airspace of 1000 meters. Generally speaking, the side that occupies the height can easily defeat the other side.

Therefore, after hearing what Fade Chen said, several people in the No. [-] Squadron were very excited.

"With Fade Chen's clever plan, this time, we will be No. 1!" Li Donghai said.

"Come on, brothers, I took No.1, and I'll treat everyone to a big meal!" Huang Haijun only patted his chest.

"I want to drench with oil!" Qin Qingyu said immediately.
