Episode 10 recap: Xie Zhen Yu assumed unauthorized responsibility and successfully test-flew the aircraft.
Xie Zhen Yu repeatedly watched the competition videos of Yu Tao and Qin Da Di, but found that merely watching the videos could not shorten the distance between him and them. Later, Qin Da Di gathered all the team members and announced that from that day on, they would enter the A40 module test of the human-machine-cable compatibility experiment, which was the foundation of the foundation and the most important part. The success or failure of this test flight would be even more critical.
Eventually, Xie Zhen Yu completed the first module test with data results that exceeded the prescribed time by three times, bringing the first test to a successful conclusion. At the test site, Yu Tao took over from Qin Da Di as the on-site LSO (Landing Signal Officer) to conduct a flame resistance test on the flaperons, and the first data test was successful. Yu Tao also took over and achieved ideal results.
However, the first test flight with the arresting gear failed. The first test was scheduled for the next day, and the ground support team was well prepared. Yizhengbang told everyone that he would send a special person and experts from the military industry to monitor their work and check it item by item. They would learn from the war and make progress step by step, demonstrating the fine traditions of our military.
The next morning, Ling Kai led the soldiers to the site first to ensure that all personnel and equipment were in place. Soon, Yizhengbang came to the site in person to watch the A10 module brake resistance limit test officially begin. Yu Tao took over from Qin Da Di as the on-site LSO, and the first test pilot Qin Da Di entered the cockpit to conduct a flame resistance test on the flaperons, and the first data test was successful.
Due to the successful completion of this experiment, the test flight test entered the second stage. Yu Tao and Qin Da Di took turns as deputies, and Chen Yahong watched her husband board the aircraft with mixed feelings, but was also proud of him. Fortunately, the test results of the second experiment also reached the ideal state. When Xie Zhen Yu executed the third test, Qin Da Di emphasized that the content of this module was completely different from the previous two, mainly testing the limit time of the A10 module. The specific test duration would be determined by the researchers based on the actual situation. As a test pilot, he must pay more attention, follow orders, start the test, and terminate the test, without a second to spare.
Xie Zhen Yu finally completed the first module test with data results that exceeded the prescribed time by three times, bringing the first test to a successful conclusion. Xie Zhen Yu repeatedly watched the competition videos of Yu Tao and Qin Da Di, but found that merely watching the videos could not shorten the distance between him and them.
Qin Da Di gathered all the test flight squadron members and announced that from that day on, they would enter the A40 module test of the human-machine-cable compatibility experiment, which was the foundation of the foundation and the most important part. The success or failure of this test flight would be even more critical.
On the day of the A40 course test, all departments were prepared, and Yu Tao served as the LSO again, responsible for commanding Qin Da Di's test flight.
However, this test had a relatively high risk factor. The first attempt to engage the arresting hook failed, and the team had mixed reactions, but fortunately the test pilot was unharmed. After some consideration, the chief engineer suddenly became excited, stating that although this test flight seemed to have failed, it had effectively proven the lower limit of the arresting hook speed, and he believed they should continue the experiment.
Qin Da Di requested to fly again, but was rejected by Yi Zheng Bang. As a result, the important task was given to Yu Tao.
Geng Jian Lin came to encourage Yu Tao, while Chen Ya Hong silently watched from the sidelines, feeling anxious for him. Unfortunately, this test flight also failed. The two executives insisted that the experiment should continue.
The third test was assigned to Xie Zhen Yu, who suddenly changed the test plan and requested to increase the speed by one order of magnitude.
Qin Da Di strongly opposed this, demanding that Xie Zhen Yu strictly follow the original plan and not make unauthorized changes. The executives decided to allow Xie Zhen Yu to try, since the previous attempts at the original speed had failed, so they might as well modify the approach.
Although Qin Da Di was reluctant, he obeyed the order and instructed Xie Zhen Yu to increase the speed by one order of magnitude, as requested by Yi Zheng Bang.
At the critical moment, Xie Zhen Yu even further increased the speed, causing everyone present to hold their breath. Fortunately, he successfully engaged the arresting hook and completed the test.
After landing, Xie Zhen Yu was taken for a medical check, and the dean, He Yi Ming, promptly reported that Xie Zhen Yu was physically fine, with all his vital signs normal.
Yi Zheng Bang was relieved and reminded Qin Da Di and Tao Si Yong to commend Xie Zhen Yu, but Qin Da Di objected, so they could only settle for having him praised in front of the team.
With this successful test flight data, the team was greatly encouraged, feeling like they had seen a glimmer of hope. If each test could be successful, they would be able to gradually explore the speed and weight limits for successful arresting hook engagement, thereby testing the maximum loads on the carrier aircraft, arresting hook, and pilots, and finding the most scientifically appropriate data for the human-machine-hook system.
Hearing the executives' words, Yi Zheng Bang was very pleased and announced that the afternoon test flight would continue. In contrast, Qin Da Di was angry about Xie Zhen Yu's risky behavior, and in front of the entire team, he severely criticized Xie Zhen Yu for violating test site discipline and interfering with the command's determination, warning that this had been the first and last test flight for the team, and that any further violations would result in dismissal.
