The improved new engine was finally named WS-10S. The reason why WS-10A was not positioned according to the usual practice was because Chen Nian felt that the name was not very auspicious, so he made an opinion with Lin Yongming. To willful one.

However, this engine is also worthy of the "S" on the suffix.

The overall performance is actually stronger than AL-31FN, and even vaguely intends to catch up with F119!

If those people in Institute 606 are allowed to do research optimization for a period of time, wouldn't the F119 project be cancelled? ——

But of course, this is just a joke.

In fact, there is an essential difference in technical concepts between F119 and WS-10. Most of the technical sources of WS-10 still come from Russian-made engines. , the performance of the engine will improve accordingly.

And what about F119?

Whether it is in the refined structure, the leading internal structure, or the tolerance strictly controlled by the process technology, it is actually a new field for Huaxia.

If you have a thorough understanding of this engine, the help to Huaxia Aviation Technology's technology is actually much higher than improving a WS-10.

Therefore, even though the results of WS-10S are astonishing enough, the F119 project is still proceeding step by step, and the entire project team reveals a faint calmness in the busyness.

In contrast, the ground and high-altitude tests of the WS-10S were completed swiftly and efficiently, and then the J-10 was launched in the shortest possible time, the flight control was adjusted, and the first test flight was about to take place.

The test flight site is at the 601 test flight site.

In the early morning of February 1st, Shen Fei test flight field.

Chen Nian yawned and got off the jeep, followed by Chen Guo, and Lei Gang and Wang Xianguo, who had been waiting for a long time, saw his figure, immediately dropped the report in their hands and came up to him.

"Xiao Nian, are you here? How about it, you haven't slept all night, can you hold on?"

Chen Nian forced a smile, and replied:

"It's okay, I slept on the plane for a while, and I'm fine now."

In fact, including him and Chen Guo, it was not until the night before that they received the news that the new J-10 test aircraft equipped with WS-10S was going to take to the sky for the first time. He hadn't planned to come, but Lin Yongming His name was called.

According to Lin Yongming, most of the technology of this engine comes from Chen Nian, who can almost be said to be his child. It is impossible to justify his absence at such an important moment.

When it was all said and done, Chen Nian couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to go to the airport in the middle of the night to take a special plane with Chen Guo, and flew for more than three hours. After landing, he transferred to a jeep and ran for more than an hour. Finally arrived at the test flight field before the J-10 took off.

"There's nothing you can do about being sleepy. After all, it's the first flight, so you still have to come and see it."

"Speaking of selfishness, if something goes wrong, you can solve it here."

"Most of the technology comes from you. Even Xianguo is a setter. With you, we can feel at ease."

Lei Gang said half-jokingly.

Hearing this, Chen Nian quickly waved his hands, he smiled at Wang Xianguo, and then said:

"Lei Gong, what you said is too serious. I just gave you an idea and direction. Isn't the actual application made by our scientific researchers?"

"Don't think too highly of me, it looks very unfamiliar."

"Hahahahaha, don't wear flattery for thousands of wears. Okay, I won't tell you these things are useless. According to the plan, our side will take off in 10 minutes. Now we are doing refueling and pre-flight checks. You want Don't go and see?"

Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and replied:

"Don't look at it. At this stage, basically all the problems that can be seen have been solved. If I go there again, I will just pretend, which is meaningless."

"It's better to stay here honestly, so that the work of comrades in the intelligence department will not be difficult."

Lei Gang nodded in agreement and continued:

"Boss Lin didn't come today. As you know, he was busy talking about things over there. Although the things you studied before basically belonged to the army, we, AVIC, are the leader, and he has more things to do."

"He went to Beijing for a meeting the day before yesterday. Before he left, he specifically asked me to tell you. The original words are that even if something goes wrong, let you not have psychological pressure. If you succeed once, I will take you well." Go relax and relax."

"Relax. Let's talk. The fuel truck has withdrawn, Mr. Lei, hurry up and fly?"

"Come on, let's go, let's go to the podium!"

As Lei Gang waved, a group of people followed his footsteps to the podium, and just at this moment, the command to prepare before take-off faintly came from the headset of the podium one after another.

"Check the flaps, the flaps are OK."

"Navigation is normal, supercharging is normal."

"Avionics are normal, radar is working normally."

"Engine warm-up is normal, idle speed is normal."

"The inspection is complete, No. 01, please take off!"

Hearing this, Lei Gang turned his head and glanced at Chen Nian, who nodded slightly. Then, a sonorous order came out of Lei Gang's mouth.

"Number 01, permission to take off!"

After the voice fell, a huge roar sounded, and the tail of the J-10 test machine No. 01 ejected hot bright blue flames, and the Mach rings circle after circle were like star rings, spreading backward in a corrugated shape.

Immediately afterwards, the plane began to taxi on the runway at a very high speed. After passing a distance of less than two hundred meters, the nose of the plane suddenly pulled up, and the whole plane rose from the ground!

"Damn it. So strong?"

Chen Nian stared dumbfounded at the plane gradually taking off, the shock in his heart was indescribable.

Yes, he had indeed seen the relevant data of this engine long ago, but compared with the intuitive experience he saw standing on the spot, the cold figures still seemed too thin.

The dust and heat waves rolled up by the strong wind are the best explanations of the true strength of this engine.

Hearing his words, Lei Gang said a little proudly:

"Isn't that right? There is still room for improvement in this J-10. If some aerodynamic optimization is done in the later stage, it will not be a problem to compress the take-off distance to within 200."

"At that time, with the ski-jump platform, we can even go directly to the aircraft carrier!"

The aircraft carrier is now in Huaxia, not to mention the aircraft carrier that can be used. The Varyag that was finally bought back is almost like scrap iron. It seems a bit too far to say this.

——

However, Chen Nian, the butterfly, has already flapped its wings. Who can tell at what speed the Huaxia Military Industry Association will develop in the future?

Thinking of this, Chen Nian shook his head, calmed down his slightly chaotic thoughts, and stared intently at the fighter plane in the sky.

In fact, there is a high probability that the test aircraft will not do any dangerous or extreme operations when it is first launched into the sky. It will only follow the flight test procedures and fly around the test field a few times, and then it will start to land.

But today, things seem to be a little different.

During what should have been a dull test flight, the pilot made several large-angle climbs in a row under the command of the ground. Looking at the full-curved flight path, Chen Nian once again sighed:

"Damn. Is this Lida Brick Flying?"

"This angle is almost as maneuverable as a cobra. I wonder if I can try Falling Leaves."

"Falling Leaf Piao definitely can't do it."

Lei Gang laughed and explained:

"Of course, it's not a problem with the aircraft itself that it can't be done, but we generally don't engage in such dangerous maneuvers during the first test flight."

"This experiment is still mainly based on recording data, and we will make another optimization based on the test flight data at that time."

"When the second test flight, it should start to test the extreme operation."

Chen Nian nodded, thinking to himself:

It doesn't matter whether you try it or not, because with this level of power optimization, it will be a matter of time before you can make falling leaves.

And now... as long as it can land, it will be considered a success!

As if seeing through his pretending to be calm but actually feeling extremely nervous, the J-10 in the air completed the various items of the first test flight at an extremely fast speed, and then, with an almost smooth to impeccable movement, , landed on the ground again.

The whole test flight field erupted in jubilation.

"It's done! It's done!"

"Damn it, let's say our engine is not bad, what AL-31FN, there will be nothing about it in the future!"

"Too strong, the successor of Lord Ba is finally here!"

"The 606 Institute is really good. The effect is so good in such a short period of time!"

"Nonsense, the main structure of our engine is all verified, most of the tolerance range is less than one ten thousandth, if the effect is not good, there will be ghosts."

Standing aside, Chen Nian smiled and listened to the cheerful conversation of those researchers. He looked at the J-10 with the cockpit cover slowly opened, and couldn't help but have an idea in his heart:

It won't be long before the name of this fighter plane will become known to everyone.
