459: It’s all thanks to you, Academician Guo!
Looking at the Sixth-Generation Aircraft taking off in front of him.
Guo Hao felt a slight surge of emotion in his heart.
In his previous life, he had also experienced the matter of the Sixth-Generation Aircraft, but that was after '89, and at that time, it was already in its maiden flight state.
The purpose was to deter Ugly Country, and right now, the rush to get the Sixth-Generation Aircraft ready was also to deter Ugly Country.
And regarding the maiden flight of the Sixth-Generation Aircraft, Guo Hao had always been providing assistance, especially in Materials Science, which was almost entirely due to Guo Hao's help.
The advanced Flight Control System was written by Xiao Xin.
Furthermore, the bionic metal that almost laid the foundation for the Sixth-Generation Aircraft's most perfect performance was also a technology he had introduced!
It could be said that without him, the Sixth-Generation Aircraft would probably have to wait at least seven or eight more years for its maiden flight!
And whether its performance could be this outstanding would be hard to say!
The Sixth-Generation Aircraft took off.
Initially, the speed wasn't too fast.
But gradually, the speed started getting faster and faster.
Guo Hao and the others looked up at the sky.
The airspace where the Sixth-Generation Aircraft was flying was not very wide; after all, it was the first test flight, and everyone was unclear about the specific situation.
They were also not prepared for exposure.
But.
Soon, the flight of the Sixth-Generation Aircraft began to change!
The speed was extremely fast!
Continuous ring-shaped vapor cones even appeared in the sky!
Cloud Mach rings!
"A variant of the detonation engine!"
General Wang's face was full of smiles as he said to Guo Hao beside him.
Guo Hao nodded.
This plane is really strong!
The flight lasted for nearly an hour before slowly landing at the airport.
Landed smoothly!
The first test flight was a complete success!
The Engineers on the ground who had been monitoring the Sixth-Generation Aircraft's flight status let out a thunderous cheer.
Everyone was extremely excited.
This was the result of their tireless labor!
Every single part inside the Sixth-Generation Aircraft had passed through their hands, whether it was assembly or polishing.
It could be said that they had truly become familiar with even a single screw inside the Sixth-Generation Aircraft!
Now that the Sixth-Generation Aircraft could successfully test fly, they were the happiest people!
General Wang was also very happy.
"Let's go! Let's take a look!"
General Wang said happily to Guo Hao.
Soon, they drove to the side of the Sixth-Generation Aircraft, where the surrounding Engineers were performing airframe inspections on the Sixth-Generation Aircraft.
And the logistics staff had already pulled the pilot out of the plane, and some Engineers nearby were still asking the pilot about his flight experience.
Hoping to make some improvements later.
General Wang brought Guo Hao to the side of the plane.
It just so happened that the pilot's health check and routine questioning were finished at this time.
"General Wang!"
The pilot quickly shouted towards General Wang.
General Wang smiled and nodded, then said to Guo Hao beside him with a smile.
"Academician Guo, this is our Military Region's ace pilot! Xia Jing, a top student from the Air Force Aviation University, a two-time outstanding cadet, and has test-flown multiple types of top fighter jets.
Don't look at his young age, but his total flight time has already exceeded 4000 hours! Impressive, right!"
General Wang said, looking at Guo Hao.
"Indeed impressive! Xia Jing, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Guo Hao smiled slightly and extended his hand towards Xia Jing.
Xia Jing quickly clasped Guo Hao's hand with both of his, his eyes showing intense excitement, like a fan seeing their idol.
"Academician Guo! I, I am your fan! You are truly amazing! I have never met such an incredible scientist as you! You have completely overturned my understanding of scientists!
You are too amazing! I..."
Xia Jing was so excited he didn't know what to say.
Actually, he had recognized Guo Hao just now, but he didn't dare to casually greet Academician Guo.
He had to wait for General Wang to speak.
"Not at all, I'm just an ordinary scientific researcher!"
Guo Hao said humbly.
"You are already very impressive! Top test pilots, ace pilots, you are the true top idols protecting the nation's territory!"
Guo Hao looked at Xia Jing in front of him.
He really did think so; these top pilots were almost constantly safeguarding the motherland's territory.
He greatly admired them!
"Can I add your contact information??"
Xia Jing asked Guo Hao excitedly.
"Of course!"
Guo Hao nodded.
He added Xia Jing's QQ, and at this time, the results of the on-site inspection and maintenance nearby were all out.
Everything was normal!
There were no problems at all!
Unbelievably perfect!
Those bionic metals played a huge role in it!
This kind of bionic metal, as long as it doesn't deform thousands of times simultaneously, will actually gradually recover from metal fatigue later on!
Simply abnormal!
There were several more test flights afterwards, and basically no problems occurred!
Except that the pilots were not yet fully adapted to the Sixth-Generation Aircraft, the extreme speed of Mach 4 made the pilots feel much greater G-force than before!
After all, this thing is a behemoth!
It's not on the same level as the J-20; the air resistance during flight is a bit too great!
The gravitational restraint experienced is naturally also extraordinarily huge!
The test flight was very successful.
Guo Hao returned satisfied.
He continued to process some data related to the battery.
And in the following days, the Sixth-Generation Aircraft began frequent test flights.
Gradually, the Sixth-Generation Aircraft began appearing in the suburbs, escorted by J-20s!
And people began to occasionally film test flight videos.
These test flight videos, as soon as they were posted online, quickly caused a huge uproar!
"Holy cow, what is this thing? If I'm not mistaken, that little guy escorting it is a J-20???"
"Such a big plane... and it's a fighter jet, seriously???"
"Wow! Awesome!"
"This thing is being escorted by a J-20... Is this a Sixth-Generation Aircraft??? Wow, that's amazing? The J-20 has only just entered service not long ago! Awesome!"
"Too strong, too strong! We actually made a Sixth-Generation Aircraft so quickly! Amazing, amazing!!!!!"
"Uh, maybe it's a smokescreen... What decent country would make a fighter jet this big? Just looking at the size revealed in the video, this thing probably weighs fifty or sixty tons!
You know, the J-20 is only 17 tons! No matter how you think about it, it's impossible! Such a big thing, plus ammunition and fuel, would probably weigh over a hundred tons! Can it even fly?"
If it doesn't even have Mach speed, then it's just purely for laughs!"
"Haha, it's not that complicated; our country's standard has always been 'old leading new'! Remember when the J-20 was test-flying, the J-10 was also responsible for escorting it!
It's the same now!"
"Stop talking nonsense, this is a smokescreen! Even if there really is a Sixth-Generation Aircraft, why would it fly in Beijing? Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, one is in the south and one is in the northeast.
Tell me, which awesome aircraft factory is in Beijing? Test flights in Beijing? Don't make me laugh!"
