The heroic air force soldiers of the people of China spilled their blood on the blue sky of the motherland. They are like mighty and brave eagles, crossing the clouds and going straight into the sky. These warriors from the sky, with surging heroic spirit, soar in the boundless sky, escorting hundreds of millions of compatriots in China. Such a powerful "eagle" sometimes accidentally loses its precious "wings". Once their wings are broken and damaged, this "eagle" can only go to death.
What we are going to talk about is such a "hawkish pilot Liang Wanjun" who lost his wings.
1965, Liang Wanjun was born in Guanghan County, Deyang City, Sichuan Province. When he was young, China's aviation industry was underdeveloped, but every time he saw a civil airliner flying over the white line pulled up in the sky, he was very excited. The idea of becoming a pilot took root in his young mind.
When Liang Wanjun was in high school, the Air Force came to Guanghan to recruit pilots. At that time, Liang Wanjun was thin and strong, which didn't fit people's imagination of pilots. In our impression, most pilots are tall and handsome, wearing long trench coats, and they can bring a gust of wind when walking. But in fact, due to the narrow cockpit of fighter planes, thin pilots are more needed.
Because pilots are often affected by acceleration, noise, low pressure, bumps and vibrations during flight, they have high requirements for physical fitness, and they are full of dreams and flowers. In this way, Liang Wanjun became the only person in the school who passed the flight physical examination.
There are many differences between the test flight of new aircraft and the driving of ordinary operating aircraft. The difficulty of test flight is much higher than that of ordinary aircraft, and the dangers and unexpected accidents encountered are unimaginable. These extremely difficult requirements are extremely strict for Liang Wanjun's flying technology. Only with such high requirements can we check and guarantee the flight test of the aircraft and make accurate data for the design and modification of the aircraft in the follow-up work.
When the test flight plane flies at high altitude, if it encounters various accidents, the pilot is required to make the most correct and appropriate operational response at all times. However, a new type of fighter developed by the state requires pilots to carry out dozens of flight tests. As you can imagine, unpredictable risks are great.
July 1 2004 There was a heavy rain yesterday. Today, the weather is particularly sunny and the sky is washed blue. Not surprisingly, this is a weather suitable for test flight. Super test pilot Liang Wanjun also arrived at the test base ahead of schedule. Today, his flight test subject is the afterburner experiment of 10,000 meters high altitude engine. The plane quickly climbed to an altitude of 12000 meters. At this time, the plane is 20 kilometers away from the test base/kloc-0. The first group of experiments has been completed. When Liang Wanjun was about to return, an accident happened.
The power fuel tank that should not be moved is descending. At that time, the ground crew had found that the fuel load of this fighter was wrong, which was more than 600 liters less than the normal fuel load. The battalion chief of the test flight brigade made a decisive decision and immediately instructed Liang Wanjun to close the afterburner. However, the speed of oil consumption is still beyond their imagination. It only takes four minutes from the discovery of oil leakage to the complete oil leakage in the fuel tank.
At that time, Liang Wanjun's test flight fighter was more than 20 kilometers away from the test flight base. Although the plane has descended to the height of 12000m, at this time the plane has lost power because there is no oil. A plane without power is just a big iron knot in its heart, and its weight is not light.
By this time, the plane was already in free fall. If Liang Wanjun had proposed skydiving at that time, it would have been the best choice for him personally, but Liang Wanjun chose to make a forced landing, which was the most difficult in the history of China fighters. In addition, Liang Wanjun's fighter plane is still an incomplete test plane.
When Liang Wanjun was in the air, he had three chances to choose skydiving, but he gave it up. He knows that the consequence of giving up is to pass by death, but he firmly believes that there must be something more precious than life in this world, and that is his belief. Luck always favors good people. Eight minutes later, Liang Wanjun landed at twice the speed, and people and machines were everywhere.
Liang Wanjun's wonderful operation is really admirable! Because the plane was forced to land without power supply, there were few successful cases in the whole world aviation history. A plane that loses power can only maintain its low-altitude motion by the belt in the battery, which requires the accurate judgment and absolutely stable operation of the pilot. The pilot's forced landing is full of dangers. If he is not careful, the plane will be destroyed. And Liang Wanjun can choose to parachute to escape, but he actually chose to make a forced landing, which is a desperate attitude. If he is not careful, he will lose his life. He will take this fighter plane back for a test flight. This is a prototype developed at a cost of hundreds of millions of yuan in China, which belongs to China's scientific research achievements!
After the plane landed safely, Liang Wanjun was commended by the army. He won the gold medal of the Air Force's flying meritorious officer that year. At the same time, he was one of the top ten people who moved China in 2004. But if he is given a choice, I think he should be most proud of being the first flight test pilot of China's J-20 fighter.
Mr. Lu Xun once wrote in the article "The Backbone of China": "Since ancient times, there have been hard-working people, and there are hard-working people ... they are the backbone of China." This country and nation will never lack heroes like Liang Wanjun. River of no return, the will of the nation will always move forward.
