rare!Why does Yun-20 fly in advance?Exclusively revealed the story behind the test pilot

"Kunpeng" Yun-20 Flying, what are the little-known stories behind it? In the eyes of the test pilot, what kind of fighter is the Yun-20? The reporter's exclusive interview, the Yun-20 flying test flying Deng Youming, listened to his secrets together.

Five years of hard training preparation, test pilot to overcome the "Flying" action

Deng Youming, the Air Force Yun-20 flying pilot.

In 2008, the Yun-20 test flight project began to set up a test pilot selection and assessment. After the formation of the test pilot team, a large number of training began. Deng Youming recalled that there will be an assessment at each stage of the entire training process. In the 5 years of preparation time, they did not idle for a moment. In the past 5 years, the deepest thing was the first class of the first flight. His unit flew a new action- "Flying".

Deng Youming said: "The normal aircraft flight takes off at the head of the runway, fills the throttle, loose brakes, and increases to a certain speed. After the speed increases, the aircraft will leave the ground and climb after the ground. The first half of the "Flying Flying" action is the same as normal, but as the speed speeds up, when the plane has just left the ground, the manipulation movement of the "Flying" is the opposite. Grounding, sliding, deceleration, exit ".

Although the "Flying Fei" movement is not long after the ground, it is of great significance. It not only verifies the aircraft's manipulation logic and response in the air, but also shows that the test flying has a strong ability to control the aircraft. The success of this action is an incentive for the project test flight team, laying a solid foundation for the next real first flight.

Based on the full preparation of the early stage, the Yun-20 first flew two days in advance

January 28, 2013 is the first flight time of the Yun-20, but due to the poor weather on the 28th, the test flight is either postponed or early. Delaying is the most secure approach, and the first flight in advance is rare, but the success of the last "Flying" of the last "Flying Flying" gives the entire line great confidence. The test flight team finally decided to take the first flight of the Yun-20 two days in advance.

On January 26, 2013, a northwest airport was crowded, and the transportation-20 ushered in the first fly. Deng Youming recalled: "During the first flight of the plane driving, I said a word to our unit, 'This is the simplest and most confident test flight in our history. This sentence is based on our preparation. Ready to be enough, it will be calm when you are in the battle! "

Hope that Yun-20 becomes a generation of famous opportunities. This is the expectation of the first flying test flying

In the nearly ten years after the successful flight of the Yun-20, the trails flew over the mountains and the vast ocean, and the practical training started in full swing.

Its improvement type, the latest generation of the Air Force's tanker, oil-20 has been put into training for military training. At the 2022 Air Force Open Activities and Changchun Aviation Show, the oil-20 also showed the public for the first time.

When it comes to the future of Yun-20, Deng Youming said: "Yun-20 is a strategic equipment, the heavy weapon of the country, and is currently widely used. I want the development of Yun-20 will be unlimited. There will be more derivative styles, and this family will continue to grow! "

He also said: "Yun-20 is a good platform. Whether it is a tanker, an early warning machine or a special special aircraft, it can be used on this platform. We hope that the Yun-20 aircraft can finally become a generation of famous planes. "".
