Changkong Fighter

Chapter 341 Flight Test
"Tower calling Chang Kong, clear for takeoff."

After receiving permission from the control tower, Liu Jun checked the aircraft's condition, locked the brakes, and activated the throttle valve.

With the two engines roaring, the J50 showed signs of surging forward, like a little girl who couldn't wait to spread her wings.

"That thrust!"

With just a slight push of the accelerator, the brakes began to lose control of the J-50. Liu Jun released the brakes and pushed the throttle valve, launching the J-50 forward. Instantly, he was pressed firmly into his seat by the resulting acceleration. At this moment, the computer intelligently adjusted the pilot's seatbelt to prevent it from strangling the pilot and causing bruising.

The fighter jet was getting faster and faster on the runway. Liu Jun had the illusion that he was experiencing 9G overload from the start, but due to his strong physique and overload resistance, he didn't feel much of a difference.

With a gentle pull on the stick, the fighter jet's landing gear lifted off the ground as the control surfaces adjusted, and it slowly flew into the sky. Retracting the landing gear and pushing the throttle valve, before even activating AB mode, Liu Jun felt as if he had been kicked hard, and flew into the sky with the shockwave generated by the breakthrough explosion.

"Faster! That's incredibly fast!"

The engine's powerful thrust propelled the J50 to climb steadily, and the altimeter readings continued to increase, quickly reaching 3000 meters.

"Chang Kong calling the control tower, altitude 3000"

"Tower received. The accompanying aircraft will arrive soon and will conduct a test flight according to the predetermined route."

"clear."

After receiving instructions from the control tower, Liu Jun waited for the escorting fighter jet to arrive, and soon he saw the escorting fighter jet—a huge ginkgo leaf.

A sixth-generation fighter jet escorting another sixth-generation fighter jet is a scene that can be said to be unique to Tokyo University.

The ginkgo leaf slowly flew behind Liu Jun and then accompanied him in flight. Liu Jun looked at the flight instrument panel, where the flight route was marked inside the digital helmet, and there was even an AI assistant to help him.

With the powerful voice recognition system, some simple operations can be completed simply by speaking, as Liu Jun tried.

[J50, the aircraft has shifted 5 meters to the left.]

【clear. 】

With a pleasant AI voice in hand, Liu Jun felt that the fighter jet's AI was controlling the aircraft, causing it to shift 5 meters to the left, which greatly surprised Liu Jun.

If this kind of AI were on the battlefield, could it engage in combat solely through voice commands?

At low altitude and low speed, with almost no need for Liu Jun's intervention, the J-50's all-engine wing quickly changes its structure. Under complex mechanical motion, the swept wing becomes a forward-swept wing with better performance, allowing the fighter jet to achieve good maneuverability at low speeds without stalling.

As Liu Jun marveled at how quickly times were changing, the J50 had already flown over the city as planned, and the peculiar roar of its engine attracted the attention of residents below.

What was that sound?

"Look! A plane!"

The people looked up in the direction of the sound and saw two fighter jets, one large and one small, circling overhead.

The different sound effects produced by the different engines came together, and the people below couldn't help but point and whisper.

A pedestrian, holding up his phone to take pictures, asked his friend uncertainly, "Is this a J50?"

"Wait a minute! Its wings are a little different!"

A sharp-eyed colleague noticed the J-50's memory; unlike the J-50s he had seen before, it didn't have swept wings, but rather forward-swept wings!

"Forward-swept wing? Fully motorized wing! That's incredible! Quick, take a picture and post it online!" A fully motorized wing is completely impossible for other countries, not only due to the difficulty of flight control, but more importantly, its strength!
Only when the material is strong enough can it withstand the resistance of airflow and avoid metal fatigue and breakage.

Without a vertical tail, the J50, resembling an alien spacecraft, conducted test flights over the city. After circling the city seven or eight times, it flew towards the suburbs.

At this moment, Liu Jun was unaware that the entire internet at Dongda University was in an uproar.

The J-50 footage was uploaded to various social media and streaming platforms. Watching the J-50 fly with its forward-swept wings, some passersby even sent out videos of the J-50 fighter jet transforming from a swept-back wing to a forward-swept wing.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the details. The mere fact that this technology of changing a swept wing to a forward-swept wing made the people who saw this for the first time feel proud.

Because of the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations, people who used to boast about these things have changed their views, especially regarding the various foreign-made fighter jets. After the extraterrestrial civilizations were utterly defeated, the changes have accelerated.

Battle reports may lie, but the front lines will not!

According to air combat data, the foreign fighter jets that were touted as superior did not show much performance against Type 2 and Type 3 aircraft. On the contrary, the fourth-generation fighter jets from Tokyo University demonstrated extraordinary performance.

Based on the total number of kills recorded by various countries to date, Tokyo University is unique in that it ranks first in the world in terms of total kills. Even if the United States "faked" its data, it can only talk about it because of the existence of the National Air Force, just like the Indian theory of winning.

Climb!

Liu Jun pulled the stick, and the fighter jet climbed almost vertically into the sky, while the thrust generated by the two engines propelled the aircraft straight up to 90,000 miles!
As a fighter jet climbs vertically, it must not only resist air resistance but also the pull of gravity. Even so, the J-50, with its two powerful engines, managed to fly with tremendous force and soar straight up.

After reaching an altitude of 12000 meters, Liu Jun began to perform various maneuvers.

Liu Jun was very surprised by the aircraft's response speed and maneuverability. Then there were the small-radius turns, the post-stall maneuvers relying on the all-engine wings, and the leaf-like drifting maneuvers performed in conjunction with the vector engine.

During the descent, the forward-swept wing demonstrated excellent maneuverability, easily recovering from the spin and regaining an altitude of 13000 meters to begin new tests and aerial refueling.

A large drone was flying ahead, and Liu Jun was maneuvering the J50 to approach the aerial refueling drone.

After entering the refueling route, Liu Jun opened the refueling probe on the back of the J50, preparing to carry out hard-tube refueling.

[This is the pipeline operator, preparing the refueling procedure.]

Liu Jun controlled the J50 to slowly approach the rigid tube extended from the drone, and with his excellent flying skills, he successfully docked almost on the first try.

[Oil tank connection.]

After docking is complete, the rigid refueling hose quickly pours a large amount of high-quality aviation fuel into the J50's internal fuel tank, making the refueling efficiency far superior to that of hose refueling!
Liu Jun watched as the fuel tank gradually filled up, waiting for the refueling to finish.

[This is the pipeline operator. Refueling is about to end. Maintain the current speed.]

"Changkong received."

Liu Jun controlled the speed of the J50, while the refueling drone quickly accelerated and disconnected the fuel line.

[Refueling complete, disconnect the fuel line.]

"Understood, store the oil pipes."

After retracting the oil pipes on his back, Liu Jun prepared to conduct the final test—engine multi-mode operation!
