Chapter 41: The J-20 makes its debut! It is shocking, there is no need to be modest!
The next morning, in Shu.

Inside the 611 Institute.

Song Qinyi stared at all the R&D team members with a smile on his face: "Convey the instructions from above, and the J-20 will conduct preliminary tests."

"This experiment is for taxi test verification."

"Yes." Several R&D team leaders echoed.

In the past two weeks, they have completed preliminary improvements and adjustments to the J-20, including the application of the second-generation gallium oxide silver composite stealth coating and preliminary fine-tuning of the aerodynamic layout.

High-strength carbon fiber composite materials are still under development, and preliminary estimates show that they will be fully replaced when the verification aircraft makes its maiden flight.

However, the engine is still the old Russian AL-31F. After all, if the J-20 is equipped with a new engine, it will have to undergo major modifications, including redesigning important components such as fuel transportation, power, and power generation.

Even though it now has a complete set of technical data on the F22 that powers the F119 fighter, the 611 Institute is in no rush to develop it.

After all, the top priority of the entire institute right now is to successfully verify the first flight of the J-20 fighter.

Only after completing this can you talk about replacing engines with more powerful ones or comprehensively updating the more intelligent fourth-generation advanced integrated avionics.

Otherwise, if the first flight verification aircraft was not successful, what are you talking about for improvement and development?
The tractor slowly towed the fighter plane out of the hangar, and the landing gear stopped on the airport runway.

Everyone stared at the J-20, which looked like a six-winged angel with its wings spread out, making their breathing a little tense.

Wing testing is ongoing.

[The canard is normal, the flaps are normal, and the vertical tail deflection is normal.]

【Everything is normal on the J-20 wing surface.】

"How was the data verification from the day before yesterday?" Song Qinyi looked at the assistant next to him.

"Test modifications and ground experiments have been completed, and all data are in line with expected values."

"Very good, just issue the taxi test order after one round of inspection." Song Qinyi nodded, his face still calm.

After absorbing all aspects of the F20's technology, there is no reason why the J-22 cannot even pass this basic verification.

This type of taxi test is just a routine procedure before the first flight. Its main purpose is to check the fighter's most basic turning, straight line keeping, curve correction, as well as whether each structure is firm and whether the engine and other parts are working properly under high-speed vibration. It can be said to be the most basic inspection process.

If this step wasn't a necessary procedure, he probably wouldn't care too much about it.

He doesn't even have this little confidence, so how can he have the nerve to say that he can build a verification aircraft for its maiden flight within four months and then present it to Daxia as a gift.

At this moment, the J-20 on the runway has also completed the inspection work.

Everything was ready, the engine started, and the AL-31F made that unique fierce and sharp roar.

It slowly accelerated on the ground, and all the members of the R&D team were nervous.

The engine slowly moved forward and instantly reached a speed of 80 km/h. This is the simplest low-speed taxiing.

【Sliding motion characteristics: Everything is normal.】

【Precisely maintain straight line sliding: no error. 】

【Turning ability: maximum angle.】

Look beyond that.

About one or two kilometers away from the airport runway, there is a wall about four or five meters high, which is mainly used to prevent outsiders from breaking in and taking photos that may lead to leaks or serious violations.

However, the 611 Institute had good intentions, but they underestimated these people. Obviously, this wall could not stop these "enthusiastic" onlookers who were already full of curiosity.

Sometimes, when they see that there is no room left on the wall, these people will choose to climb trees that are more than ten or twenty meters high, causing many people to break several ribs, and there are even a few people lying in ambush in the bushes.

However, if the Americans saw this, they would probably recall some not-so-pleasant memories. A happy song from the Vietnam War seemed to echo in their ears, taking them back to decades ago.

at this time.

Occupying the most advantageous position were several middle-aged men, most of whom looked to be in their thirties or forties. They were lying on a gap in the wall, looking up.

The equipment of several people is almost the same, all of them have a pair of binoculars. If they are financially better off, they will also hang a digital camera on their chest.

They were leaning against each other in groups of three or four, cracking melon seeds and eating snacks while muttering to each other.

"Brother, what kind of aircraft do you think Lockheed Martin is developing this time?" asked the sturdier man, with a J-10 fighter jet pattern engraved on his hat.

The thin, dark-skinned man next to him guessed, "There's a rumor that this fighter plane experiment seems to have some little surprises. What do you think it will be?"

"I don't know. Judging from the noise, it seems to be quite large. Could it be a test of some new fighter jet?"

"It should be an improved version of the J-10, right? It's similar to the fourth-generation and a half fighter like the Typhoon."

"So, do you think that the new fighter jet we developed can reach the level of the Russian Su-35?"

"I don't think so. The Super Side-Position Su-35 is known as the strongest fourth-generation and a half fighter. It is currently the strongest fighter below the fifth-generation fighter and can be regarded as a 4++ generation fighter. Didn't we always say on the forum that we are developing a fourth-generation and a half fighter?"

Seeing this, several people nearby immediately joined in the discussion.

The fact that this fighter jet can rival the Su-35 and become the strongest fourth-generation and a half fighter jet is already the best scenario they can imagine.

As for the fifth-generation aircraft? They wouldn't dare to dream of such a big thing even in their dreams!

These people have one thing in common, that is, they are not only "enthusiastic" people with overflowing curiosity, but also senior military fans.

Their purpose of lying on the wall was not to gather any intelligence, but simply to find out the latest developments in the research and development of Daxia's military equipment.

Of course, being able to go back and brag to netizens on the forum is also one of their main purposes.

Suddenly, a brother hanging on the tree shouted excitedly: "Hey, it's out, look, what kind of fighter plane is this?"

He held the telescope in one hand and held the tree trunk tightly with the other, making people worry that he would accidentally fall.

"Where? On that runway?" Many people immediately began to look around.

"It's on runway 3. It's been pulled out by a tow truck. Is this fighter going to take its maiden flight?"

"Not likely. This should just be a routine ground test. It hasn't reached the research and development stage for the first flight yet." The experienced old military fan shook his head.

However, when everyone saw the specific appearance of the fighter jet, their hearts suddenly stopped and their whole bodies trembled.

His eyes revealed not only confusion, but also intense shock and surprise.

This was a brand new fighter jet that they had never seen before, and it appeared in everyone's sight so openly.

The sci-fi appearance, silver paint, and flat aerodynamic layout.

This is a fourth-generation and a half fighter? You call this a fourth-generation and a half fighter?

This surprise is really too big!
