The strongest pilot ever

Chapter 71 Cobra Maneuver

71 Cobra Motor

Fade Chen's success has greatly encouraged everyone, both teachers and students have greatly increased their confidence.

After Fade Chen, one student after another boarded the plane one after another. Although everyone's performance was good or bad, with surprises and surprises, generally speaking, they were all above the qualified level.

This fact was pushed into the veins of the college leaders like a booster, and everyone's enthusiasm for work was once again high.

Afterwards, subjects followed one after another, such as solo flight, night flight, flight under complex weather conditions, low-altitude penetration, target shooting, tactical training, formation training, air combat drills, aerial refueling, etc., which made people overwhelmed.

So much content and so much training can be completed in just five months, which is absolutely impossible in the previous teaching syllabus. The density is too high and the intensity is too high. Even if the teachers can withstand it, the students will not be able to withstand it. Yes, but Chen Fei and his group of students are like high-quality meteorites, they become stronger and stronger, and they are refined into steel.

So, unknowingly, Fade Chen and the others created a record that had never been done in the Third Flight Academy. Everyone actually completed the one-year high-level aircraft training and about one year for the army in five months. All the content can only be completed by modification training.

Of course, among them, the college and the teachers have also made great efforts, and almost all the resources are tilted towards them. This once caused those ordinary students to complain, and some even initiated protests, but no matter what, Chen Fei and the others passed After five months of beating and tempering, he finally successfully completed all his studies.

Time is like water, gurgling and passing, before you know it, the calendar has turned to November 2019.

According to the plan, after everyone completes the regular assessment and passes all the tests, even if they graduate from the academy, they can go to the army to perform tasks.

Graduation is coming soon, but Chen Fei can't sit still, because the progress of other students is too fast and too great. Although he still maintains a certain advantage at present, that advantage is gradually being drawn closer. If he wants to continue It is a bit difficult to maintain the advantage of being far ahead.

"We have to make a big deal!"

Fade Chen thought for a while and made up his mind.

He has been used to hard work since he was a child, and he would feel uneasy if he didn't open a big gap with others. What's more, if he wants to make good use of the system, maintaining an absolute lead is also a necessary condition.

He walked out of the dormitory, found He Xiaoyao's apartment, knocked on the door, and said straight to the point after entering, "Master, I want to learn the cobra maneuver from you."

Cobra maneuver?
After hearing this, He Xiaoyao was stunned for a while, almost ten seconds.

"Master, I know this is a bit difficult, but the graduation examination is too simple for me, not challenging, so I want to learn the cobra maneuver from you!"

He Xiaoyao looked Fade Chen up and down, and then said after a while: "In modern air combat, the Cobra maneuver is meaningless, why do you learn from him.

Do you still think that this kind of situation often occurs in modern air combat, an enemy plane bites the tail of your fighter plane, you suddenly maneuver with a cobra, the enemy plane rushes over your head, you pull back to level flight, and the enemy plane becomes the prey , but was locked down?

Fade Chen, the chance of this happening in modern warfare is almost zero! ! !

First of all, even if you get what you want, everyone has entered the stage of close combat, a fighter that can bite your tail, do you think it is of the J-14 and J-22 level? If so, don’t use Cobra, what are you Shoot them down with just a flick, just like the F[-] that shot down Li-Bi-Yasu [-] back then.

Second, even in line-of-sight combat, the two planes are not head to buttocks, and the distance between the two sides is several kilometers. After the cobra pulls up, when you resume level flight, the enemy plane may still be behind you, and the enemy plane's missiles It will still come screaming and smash you to pieces.

Third, the chasing enemy pilots immediately make corresponding tactical actions to dodge in other directions. Not to mention impossible, our pilots are elites who are one in a million, and the reaction time of such fighter pilots is only a few tenths of a second. , Seeing that the angle of attack of the plane in front of you is raised, immediately press the stick down to the left and right, spin away, and rush in front of you? ?Hehe, you think beautifully.

So, I would like to ask, since this maneuver has no practical significance, what else have you learned to do? Waste of aviation fuel wears down the aircraft, and there is a danger of stalling. You may not be able to learn it well, why should you learn it? "

For He Xiaoyao's question, Fade Chen had already thought up the answer: "Master, I know that the cobra maneuver is of little significance to modern air combat, but it is very helpful for me to fly a fighter jet. I haven't reached the man-machine combination you mentioned yet." One, I think it may be possible to achieve it by practicing Cobra Maneuver, so I practice Cobra Maneuver not for air combat, but to use him to improve my own flying skills!"

He Xiaoyao didn't speak, just looked at Fade Chen quietly for a while, and then he said: "Well, since you want to learn, then I'll teach you, but I'll only teach you once, so it's good if you learn well. It doesn't matter if you can't learn it, you only have one chance!"

"Thank you, Master." Fade Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, then you go back, if the weather conditions are okay tomorrow, I will teach you!"

"Well, Master, then I'll go back first."

Go ahead.

He Xiaoyao waved his hand.

When Fade Chen was gone, He Xiaoyao suddenly laughed out loud without warning.

Hahahahaha!
His laughter was so hearty that several teachers next to him ran over together, thinking that he hadn't gone back to touch his wife for several months, so he was holding back his insanity.

"Old He, what's the matter?"

He Xiaoyao raised his head and glanced at those guys, and said indifferently: "It's nothing, I laugh at my apprentice who really knows how to do it, and wants to learn how to maneuver a cobra with me?"

What?
Cobra maneuver?
When everyone listens, collective petrification.

The cobra maneuver is a well-known post-stall maneuver, which was first successfully tested by the Su-27 fighter jets of the former Soviet Union. At the Paris-Paris Air Show in June 1989, Viktor Pugachev, a famous test pilot of the former Soviet Union, performed the cobra maneuver in front of the whole world for the first time, which shocked the audience. Known as the "Pugachev Cobra" maneuver.

At that time, the Sukhoi Design Bureau was testing the high angle of attack limit of the Su-27 stall, and Pugachev turned the corner in a critical situation, and thus created a maneuver.During the flight test, the fighter jet descended rapidly while stalling at an altitude of 15km. Simonov, the chief designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, was shocked and ordered Pugachev to abandon the fighter jet to escape, but Pugachev remained calm and continued. Stayed behind and miraculously started the engine when it was 800m above the ground, and changed the fighter plane to level flight.

Under his control, the rapidly rising nose continued to rise and reached a high angle of attack of 120°. The raised nose was like a cobra, thus giving birth to the shocking "cobra maneuver".

Pugachev was able to complete this action thanks to the excellent aerodynamic layout of the Su-27 fighter. When completing this action, the pilot must overcome the super overload pressure and at the same time, from an elevation angle of 30° to an elevation angle of 120°, he must Controlling the aircraft to maintain balance and avoid entering into stalls such as spins requires pilots to have superb skills.

This maneuver not only puts high demands on the aircraft - so far, there are not many aircraft that can do this maneuver - but also puts forward difficult requirements on the pilot's flying skills. To be honest, even the first-line elite troops Those old pilot students can't guarantee [-]% will know this action, but Fade Chen——

Isn't this kid too courageous?

Want to learn how to maneuver a cobra?
Everyone finds it incomprehensible.

After regaining consciousness, everyone shook their heads secretly, and said silently in their hearts: "It seems that these pilots need a little setback education, it's too smooth, too successful, it doesn't seem to be a good thing, or let this cobra maneuver Educate them well!"
