Red Soviet Union

Chapter 67: Blackbird takes off

Two American pilots wearing high-altitude compensation suits are already sitting in the cockpit. This is the fifth day of the Blackbird reconnaissance plane's mission. A few days ago, they were dispatched at night, but today, it was replaced by daytime. .

A few months ago, there was an accident in which its own EP-3 collided with a Soviet MiG-25 fighter jet, and then forced to land at a Soviet base. After that, the United States has been at a disadvantage.

This is simply intolerable for the United States. The commander of the United States stationed in the island country is furious. The Soviet MiG-25 has become the biggest threat to the United States!

What does the MiG-25 have? Can't it fly to three times the speed of sound? There are planes like this in the US too! America's Blackbird is the crystallization of America's advanced aviation industry!

So, the Blackbird reconnaissance plane was sent out to conduct reconnaissance activities over the Soviet Union! At the same time, it was also to scout the Soviet military bases in the Far East, and to determine where the EP-3 was hidden by the Soviets.

Up to now, the Americans are still obsessed with the EP-3, hoping to get the plane back. They don’t know that the plane has been completely dismantled by the Soviet Union and can’t be put back again. The Soviets are Totally plan to renege.

From Okinawa to the north, cross the Korean Peninsula, go straight to Vladivostok, scout the Soviet Pacific Fleet, and then go north, scout several air bases along the way, after reaching Amur Komsomolsk, then eastward Turn back and return from the sky over Sakhalin! The main military industries and military bases of the Soviets in the Far East have been reconnaissance!

At the same time, this is also a demonstration against the Soviet Union! Recalling that a few days ago, the Soviets' MiG-25 still wanted to attack their own blackbirds. The pilots were still a little scared, for fear that the missiles would shoot them down. However, the missiles flew away when there was still a long way to go. , the Soviet missiles, like the sparrow missiles of their own early models, are the same as uncontrolled rockets!

The huge auxiliary power supply car was in place. At the end of the runway, it began to energize the engine and turned on various switches. With the roar, the two J-58 engines at the rear began to start. In the deafening roar, the tail came out hot. flame.

All kinds of instruments showed normal, Olmsted took a deep breath.

"Kadena, Kadena, the black bird has requested to take off." Olmsted connected the radio and reported to the tower.

"The black bird can take off, and the nanny is already in place." The tower's order came through the earphones.

With his left hand, he gently pulled the control lever back, and the roar of the tail became even louder. The brakes were released, and in the fiery tail flame, the huge body of the black bird slid down the runway.

At the end of the runway, the black bird pulled up, the huge fuselage, spread its wings and flew into the sky.

Although it is an aircraft that can fly to Mach 3 like the MiG-25, the Blackbird, which is made of titanium alloy, has poor flight performance, especially the strength of the body, which has led to the Blackbird that was originally intended to be used as a bomber. , it has only become a reconnaissance type carrying various reconnaissance devices, its anti-overload capability is quite weak, and its maneuverability is ridiculously poor, just like the ******U-2.

Climbing upwards with a small elevation angle, the Blackbird began to head to the fixed No. 13 airspace to meet with the nanny.

"The blackbird calls the babysitter, the blackbird calls the babysitter," Olmsted shouted over the radio.

"The height is 9,000, the speed is 700, and the nanny is in place in airspace 13." A familiar voice came from the earphones.

"Blackbird received." Olmsted flew along the route skillfully. When he climbed to 9,000 meters, he leveled the fuselage. In front, he had already seen the KC-135 aerial tanker.

Because of the oil leakage when it was on the ground, the Blackbird usually only refuels a small amount of fuel when it takes off, and only refuels in the air after takeoff.

When the blackbird is flying at high speed in the air, the temperature of the body will be as high as several hundred degrees. General aviation fuel will have natural risks. Therefore, the Skunk Works has developed a special JP-7 fuel, which has a very high flash rate. It has a flash point to avoid spontaneous combustion at high temperatures, it also contains fluorocarbons to increase lubricity, an oxidant to make it easier to burn, and even a cesium formula to disguise the radar signature of exhaust gas. At the same time, this kind of fuel is also extremely expensive, with an SR-71 costing as much as $30,000 an hour.

Moreover, this kind of fuel also needs a special tanker to refill. This air-flying nanny is dedicated to serving the Blackbird.

Olmsted was operating the huge blackbird and slowly leaned on it. The gas port on the upper part of the blackbird was exposed, and another babysitting service began.

At the rear of the KC-135 aerial tanker, the refueler carefully operated the handle, and the long refueling pipe could be seen from the observation window below, getting closer and closer to the refueling port on the back of the Blackbird. Contact, fuel pipe butt, seal pressurized.

"OK." The fueler shouted on the radio, "Go on."

Air refueling in other countries uses hoses, which is slow to refuel and requires the superb cooperation of the pilot of the oil receiver, while the U.S. Air Force uses hard pipe refueling. The pilot of the oil receiver only needs to maintain a certain altitude, speed and heading. That's it, the rest is done by the tanker.

A steady stream of fuel flowed into the Blackbird's fuel tank, UU read www.uukanshu.com very quickly, finished refueling, and disengaged from the steering.

On the back of the black bird, there were still a few drops of fuel remaining, and fuel leaked from the gaps in the body. Every time it flew back, the body was almost dirty.

Alright, let's speed up! Olmsted skillfully turned on the afterburner of both engines.

The official flight of the black bird has begun!

As the speed increased, white mist appeared at the front end of the blackbird, which was a precursor to breaking through the sonic boom. The white mist became more and more, and finally became a sharp cone. In a short sound, the blackbird The tip of the , has pierced through these white mists, a cone-shaped white sonic boom cloud, following the blackbird.

Accelerate, continue to accelerate!

The two J-58 engines were working at full speed, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The intake cone at the front end of the engine began to gradually move backwards. When taking off, the huge intake cone gradually shrank into the air intake.

The speed continued to increase, and the altitude also continued to rise. At this time, it had already flown over South Korea.

The height is 24,000, the speed is Mach 3.2, and it is aimed at the Soviet Primorsky Krai!

The intake cones are all retracted into the intake duct. At this time, the J-58 engine has completely become a ramjet engine. The airflow passing through the intake duct directly enters the afterburner behind the engine and burns. Spit out a fiery wake.

At the front of the nose, the temperature is as high as several hundred degrees, and the outer skin of the entire fuselage has become smooth, and all the oil leaks have been tightly integrated. burst cloud.
