Chapter 590 The first flight of the J-18 fighter!
No. 2 assembly workshop.
The huge door slowly opened, and the J-30 fighter slowly drove out of the workshop under the traction vehicle and went to the airport runway.
The airport is adjacent to the No. 1 and No. 2 assembly workshops, with a barbed wire mesh guardrail several meters high in the middle. On one side of the guardrail is the airport, and on the other side is the No. 1 assembly factory. The No. 1 assembly factory is very large and very huge, and the No. 2 assembly factory is not small.
The J-30 fighter was parked on the runway, and a refueling vehicle and several airport ground crews came over to fill the fighter's fuel. A pilot who had been ready for the long time was ready to go.
After the fuel refueling was completed, the refueling car left, and the pilot boarded the J-30 fighter. Zhao Jixian did not think that he was so honored that he not only had performed a series of test flight missions of the J-30 fighter before, but today, he will deliver the first J-30 fighter.
When boarding the J-30 fighter, the cockpit cover of the fighter slowly closed. Zhao Jixian checked a little and saw that everything was normal. Through the cockpit cover, he made an "ok" gesture to the crowd in the distance, and also reported the situation to the airport command center via radio.
In the distance, there were Minister Ma, Li Tianfeng, Zhang Haiping and other groups. Everyone was watching the J-30 fighter jet and preparing to watch the J-30 fighter jet take off with their own eyes.
Can take off!
After receiving the order from the command center, Zhao Jixian skillfully started the two turbofan 25b engines on the engine fighter to work. The J-30 fighter moved slowly on the runway, and then the speed became faster and faster.
This time, there was no vertical take-off, but a conventional take-off. The J-30 fighter was getting faster and faster, and everyone's eyes kept following the J-30 fighter until the J-30 fighter left the runway and successfully took off.
Seeing the J-30 fighter jet dropping its landing gear and gradually fading away, everyone couldn't help but applaud until the fighter jet completely disappeared in the distance, and the applause gradually stopped.
Minister Ma said: "Mr. Li. Thank you for your contribution to national defense construction. Now I announce that the first J-30 fighter jet has been successfully delivered!"
Seeing the fighter planes go away, Li Tianfeng was also happy and said with a smile: "Minister Ma, this is the first J-30 fighter, and there will be a second and third ones soon. Our goal is to complete the delivery of four J-30 fighters before the New Year. After the New Year, the delivery of J-30 fighter jets will be on track. In the first half of the year, the delivery of J-30 fighter jets should be five or six fighter jets per month. In the second half of the year and in the future, the delivery of J-30 fighter jets will definitely be more than 10 fighters per month!"
More than 10 aircraft per month!
A very exciting and joyful number. Although Minister Ma had known that the J-30 fighter jets had entered mass production, with a monthly delivery of no less than 10 aircraft. But now when Li Tianfeng said it again, Minister Ma couldn't help but feel a little excited again.
The military generals next to them nodded to each other, their eyes full of joy, obviously. Everyone was very satisfied with the delivery volume of 10 aircraft per month.
Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, the J-30 fighter jet has begun to be officially delivered, and the J-18 fighter jet will also be for the first time. Soon after, our military will not only equip the J-30 fighter jet, but also equip a large number of J-18 fighters."
The J-18 fighter, the third-generation fighter, is priced at US$30 million to the military, and is very cost-effective and inexpensive. As a military and economic power, the number of equipment will definitely not be small.
Li Tianfeng said: "Next year, we will be able to install the J-18 fighter on a large scale. The output of this fighter will definitely be much higher than the monthly output of the J-30 fighter."
Next year, the second phase of the Chengnan Base project will be completed and put into use. Tianfeng Technology Company can make every effort to produce and manufacture the J-30 and J-18 fighter jets. The monthly output of the J-18 fighter jet will definitely be several times the output of the J-30 fighter jet.
Minister Ma said happily: "At that time, our fourth-generation aircraft will have a J-30 and the third-generation aircraft will have a J-18. It will be exciting to think about it!"
Zhang Haiping said: "Yes, and they are all the kings among fighter jets, among the fourth-generation J-30 fighter jets, and among the third-generation J-18 fighter jets."
The military generals next to them also thought in their hearts that whether they are equipped with J-30 fighter jets and J-18 fighter jets, whether they are the air force or the navy, their strength will definitely rise several levels.
This J-30 fighter was delivered to the military, and the fighter was gone. Not long after, from the No. 2 assembly plant, under the traction vehicle, the J-18 fighter was slowly pulled out...
...
The J-30 fighter is kept confidential, and the user delivery of the first official fighter also seems to be relatively low-key. What we know is limited to the military and Tianfeng Technology Company, while the J-18 fighter is much more high-key.
The J-18 fighter has no export ban and is considered a commercial fighter that can be widely exported. The first aircraft that Tianfeng Technology Company assembled is an export-type prototype.
As for the military-specific J-18 fighter, it is classified as confidential, with ominous performance parameters, and it is definitely better and more advanced than the export-type J-18 fighter.
Just like the US F16 fighter jet, there are export models and special models for the US side. The export model is equivalent to a simple version, while its military-specific model is much better and more powerful.
Many people are familiar with the basic performance parameters of the export type of the J-18 fighter. Even if it is just an export type, its performance parameters are also very outstanding.
The outstanding J-18 fighter jet has always been the target of attention and pursuit, both at home and internationally.
There are already several foreign users of the J-18 fighter, such as Pakistan, Argentina, a major oil power in the Middle East, etc.
Everyone has been paying attention to the J-18 fighter jet. Today, on the official website of Tianfeng Technology, everyone unexpectedly discovered that many pictures of the J-18 fighter jets appeared. These are no longer 3D color pictures drawn by computers before, but real photos.
In one of the photos, the J-18 fighter jet is quietly parked on the airport runway. The main body of the photo is this J-18 fighter jet, and the background is the official website of Tianfeng Technology Company.
Not only are there photos on the website, but Tianfeng Technology Company also announced that it will conduct its first test flight publicly!
The J-18 fighter jet flew for the first time!
It's actually a public test flight!
Suddenly, many people became excited and started to move. Since it was an open test flight, could they watch the first flight of the J-18?
The first flight of the J-18 fighter jet will surely attract world attention!
There are many people who want to come to Tianfeng Technology Airport to watch the first flight of the J-18 fighter jet. Needless to say, many foreign people want to take a look.
These foreigners are not only from major aviation industry, but also from military personnel, and even from various political and political circles who want to buy the J-18 fighter jet.
Tianfeng Technology Company issued an announcement on its official website, informing everyone that the website will accept everyone's applications. Anyone who applies will fill in the detailed application information. After Tianfeng Technology Company's review and approval, you can visit the first flight of the J-18 fighter jet.
Some people will be invited by Tianfeng Technology Company to visit the first flight of the J-18 fighter jet.
These people who can receive invitations are definitely not simple people, people with a certain reputation and influence in the aviation industry, people from all political circles, etc.
As soon as Tianfeng Technology Company was announced like this, a large number of people followed the website of Tianfeng Technology Company. As soon as the application was opened, a large number of people immediately submitted their application materials, which was very popular.
In the office.
Li Tianfeng was receiving a call from Zhang Haiping from the capital. A few days ago, Zhang Haiping accompanied Minister Ma to Tianfeng Technology Company. It is estimated that in a few days, he will come to Tianfeng Technology Company again.
Zhang Haiping said: "Mr. Li, the J-18 fighter jet takes its first flight, I will definitely come here."
Li Tianfeng and Zhang Haiping had a very good relationship, so they naturally called Zhang Haiping directly and invited Zhang Haiping to visit the first flight of the J-18 fighter jet. Zhang Haiping was also very readily and agreed directly.
There were many military personnel invited to participate, but Li Tianfeng just called General Wei personally and told General Wei that he invited General Wei and military personnel to visit the first flight of the J-18 fighter jet. As for whom he came, it is naturally decided by General Wei and other senior military officials.
Li Tianfeng smiled and said, "Minister Zhang, we haven't had time to communicate with you in detail about the design of our future large military transport aircraft last time. After visiting the first flight of the J-18 fighter, we have a good exchange."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haiping was overjoyed. The military always needed an excellent large transport aircraft, and Li Tianfeng also made it clear that Tianfeng Technology Company will develop this transport aircraft.
But perhaps only Li Tianfeng himself knows the exact transport aircraft, which is Zhang Haiping. I have only heard Li Tianfeng talk about the design ideas a little bit, but the specific situation is really not very clear.
Zhang Haiping said happily: "Mr. Li, that's great!"
From Zhang Haiping's tone, it can be seen that Zhang Haiping is very happy and very happy inside.
Li Tianfeng said: "Minister Zhang, what are the requirements of the military for this future transport aircraft? You can put it forward, so I can also refer to it."
Zhang Haiping said: "No problem. I just took advantage of the first flight of the J-18 fighter jet. I will take a good look and make some research."
After Li Tianfeng and Zhang Haiping finished their call, they thought to themselves that the J-30 fighter jet has entered small-scale production, and the J-18 fighter jet will also start its first flight, and the design of large military transport aircraft in the future can also begin.
………
Songzhou, a certain unit.
It is working hours now, but there are a few people chatting, and the content of the chat is the first flight of the J-18 fighter.
One of the people wearing black-framed glasses said: "Old Hu, January 28th is exactly Saturday. There are three days left, and the J-18 fighter jet is about to fly for the first time!"
"Yes, it's only three days. This time you and I have great luck. I have passed the application. You can visit the first flight of the J-18 fighter jet!"
Another young man next to him looked at the two of them enviously and said, "Lao Hu, Lao Liu, you are so lucky. You actually got the ticket to visit through the application."

Chapter completed!
