Qin Dadi was in the upper pressure limit test of hanging the blocking cable, because there was a problem with the blocking cable, which led to the failure of the test. Qin Dadi was also sent to the hospital for examination because of the problem of red eyes.
During the period when Qin Dadi left, according to Qin Dadi's advance arrangement, Yu Tao naturally took over from Qin Dadi as the acting captain of the test flight team.
Seeing this, there are actually some questions, whether it is from the perspective of flight technology or from the in-depth thinking of the entire flight test, Xie Zhenyu is no worse than Yu Tao, but why did Qin Dadi choose Yu Tao to replace him as the acting captain, instead of Xie Zhenyu, who had just been in the limelight in the test.
Especially after the last test flight test, Xie Zhenyu also put away his thorns, even if he was scolded by Qin Dadi in front of everyone in the test flight team, under the premise that he had the support of Yi Zhengbang and two military scientists, Xie Zhenyu did not quarrel with Qin Dadi.
And not only did he not argue unconvinced, Xie Zhenyu also took the initiative to go to Qin Dadi to explain why he objected to the test plan on the spot at the test site.
But it wasn't until he saw the rich experience advantage that Qin Dadi showed in the next experiment that he realized Qin Dadi's cleverness in choosing Yu Tao to give up Xie Zhenyu.
As the captain of the test flight team, in fact, it means always be ready to be the first test pilot, and be the first to go to a new test.
Therefore, in addition to the ability to lead the team, the most important thing for this position of captain is flight skills and the ability to deal with unexpected situations.
You must know that the people who came to participate in the test flight group are all very good pilots of the navy and the air force, and they do not lack the courage and determination of the first person to do the test flight test, and in terms of flight technology, they are actually among the best, but what they lack most is the experience of failure.
Qin Dadi successfully kept the plane
Before deciding to let Qin Dadi test the upper pressure limit of the blocking cable, the two chief engineers of the military industry department, including Yi Zhengbang, anticipated various difficulties in advance.
After asking the doctors at the base hospital about the possible consequences of this test, Yi Zhengbang even decided to temporarily cancel the test because the danger of the test was too great.
But under Qin Dadi's persuasion, Yi Zhengbang finally decided to agree to let Qin Dadi participate in this experiment.
Qin Dadi's reason for persuading Yi Zhengbang was simple, but convincing enough.
First of all, this test is a must-do, and it cannot be carried forward without doing the whole test.
Since the experiment must be done, it is necessary to do it early and late. And the sooner you do it, the more it will help move the trial forward.
Therefore, whether Qin Dadi is chosen to do this test or not, this test must be done.
Secondly, Qin Dadi is the most experienced in dealing with forced landings among all the test flight teams.
In Qin Dadi's flying career, he experienced a total of 3 dangerous situations, and each time he turned the danger into a disaster and made a successful forced landing.
In addition to the unpredictable injuries to the test pilots, there are also various uncertain and unknown risks, which means that this test requires a test pilot with very rich flight experience and can cope with various unexpected situations.
There is no doubt that Qin Dadi, as the only test pilot in the test flight team who has had three safe forced landings, has experience that others cannot compare at all.
Based on these two reasons, Yi Zhengbang agreed to Qin Dadi's request to participate in this test as the first test pilot.
Facts have proved that there is indeed nothing wrong with choosing Qin Dadi as the first test pilot of the pressure ceiling.
At the time of the test, there were no problems with the system and the aircraft, but there were problems with the arresting cable.
Due to the huge impact force of the aircraft, the weld of the arresting cable fell off.
And Qin Dadi did the maximum ceiling force of the cable test, so the impact of the entire aircraft is very large.
When the blocking cable failed to be hooked up, the whole plane went out of control directly, and it kept sending out the alarm sound of "right abnormality", and at this time, Qin Dadi's eyes also showed red vision because of the ultra-high-speed impact of the plane, and the whole person was completely blind.
But in such a situation where his body and mind were almost close to the extreme challenge, Qin Dadi did not panic, and relied on his rich experience to successfully stop the plane.
How good Qin Dadi's operation is, it can be reflected in the inspection results of the plane and the words that Yu Tao said to Xie Zhenyu.
After sending Qin Dadi to the hospital, the staff and experts of the military industry went to check the plane.
The final result of the inspection was that the aircraft did not cause much damage, only partially damaged the tail and jet port.
In the words of experts, the detached blocking cable did not hit the cover of the exit hatch, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
And Yu Tao, who witnessed the entire test flight process, said to Xie Zhenyu, who was still in a state of confusion: "If it was replaced by you and me just now, the people and the plane would be gone." ”
Combined with the results of the expert's inspection of the plane and what Yu Tao said, if the blocking cable hits the cover of the exit hatch, there will also be a result of the plane being destroyed and people killed.
To be more specific, if the falling arresting cable hits the hood of the exit hatch with a huge impact force, the pilot sitting near the exit hatch will definitely be hit on the head, and it is very likely that he will fall into a state of fainting or even death due to the huge impact force.
Then the whole plane will fall into a state of loss of control because there is no pilot control, and it is very likely that the person and the plane that Yu Tao said will be gone.
Therefore, it is obvious that the reason why the falling blocking cable did not appear on the cover of the exit hatch as the experts said was not a fluke at all, but that Qin Dadi relied on his rich experience to avoid this situation.
Xie Zhenyu's biggest problem
As the apprentice of Wu Jingtian, an excellent pilot who had defeated Qin Dadi many times, Xie Zhenyu's purpose had always been to help his master fight for his breath and win Qin Dadi once in a flight competition.
Before coming to the test flight team, Xie Zhenyu had been challenging Qin Dadi, but Qin Dadi refused.
Although Xie Zhenyu did not challenge the successful Qin Dadi, his flying skills were among the best in the entire navy and air force.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xie Zhenyu has already fought a little bit in the realm of invincible opponents of the Navy and Air Force.
The details are that before Yu Tao and Xie Zhenyu had a showdown, Kang Yancheng specifically instructed Xie Zhenyu to be merciful and pay attention to the unity of the navy and air force.
In the duel with Xie Zhenyu, although Yu Tao won Xie Zhenyu, he was able to win not by flying skills and experience, but by psychological warfare.
Even Liu Tao, the Air Force brother who came with Yu Tao, said before the competition that among the five of them, only Yu Tao could fight with Xie Zhenyu, but it was only a fight, and Yu Tao was not sure that Xie Zhenyu would win.
Therefore, for so many years, Xie Zhenyu has relied on his good flying skills and is very good at psychological warfare with his opponents, and he has hardly lost in the navy.
In fact, this is also the confidence of Xie Zhenyu to dare to challenge Qin Dadi three times and twice, a pilot who is far superior to himself in age and flight experience, and has defeated his master.
Such Xie Zhenyu obviously has no experience in failure, and he is not psychologically ready to meet the challenge of failure.
After being defeated by Yu Tao with his own way of treating himself, Xie Zhenyu was difficult to accept, and even directly reported in a fit of anger to quit the test flight team.
Qin Dadi knew that it was not a good thing for Xie Zhenyu not to fail all the time, especially in the flight test.
Because Qin Dadi knows better than anyone that the test flight test is not only about the test flight technology, but also about the psychological endurance and experience in dealing with problems.
When a person has only successful experience for a long time, then he will be full of self-confidence when performing tasks, and if this self-confidence is too full, he will become blind arrogance and self-righteousness, and finally become disobedient to orders and go his own way.
Xie Zhenyu's performance in the lowest lower limit gravity test of the blocking cable hanging cable is the best example.
Xie Zhenyu could have asked his questions before the test, but he didn't do it, and instead of doing so, he improvised to add a heavyweight test after he was already sitting on the plane.
However, after obtaining the consent of the commander-in-chief and the scientists, more than one weight was added to the experiment.
And the worst thing is that Xie Zhenyu's temporary idea, the experiment was actually successful.
It was also for this reason that Qin Dadi did not come forward to remind Xie Zhenyu when he knew that Yu Tao might use Xie Zhenyu's method to defeat Xie Zhenyu, but instead let Yu Tao beat Xie Zhenyu.
Including Qin Dadi's resolute opposition to Yi Zhengbang and the proposal of the two to ask for credit for Xie Zhenyu is also for this purpose.
Qin Dadi recognized Xie Zhenyu's flying skills very much, and Xie Zhenyu's ability to enter the test flight team was also Qin Dadi's personal order, but Qin Dadi always thought that Xie Zhenyu had gone too smoothly along the way, resulting in his poor ability to deal with unexpected problems.
In addition to Qin Dadi's subjective judgment of Xie Zhenyu, there are two other details that also prove that Xie Zhenyu is indeed very lacking in experience because of blind confidence.
The first detail.
After Qin Dadi's test failed, the people in the test flight team were very concerned about Qin Dadi, so they all rushed over.
And all the people who rushed over, although they were very emotional, did not speak because they probably predicted the outcome in advance.
Only Xie Zhenyu kept shouting at the medical staff who went to rescue Qin Dadi, "Why does he keep his eyes closed?" ”
The other pilots, including those in the monitoring room, could tell that Qin Dadi's situation was due to red vision and the possibility of blindness.
As a professional pilot, Xie Zhenyu couldn't have known that Qin Dadi's eyes were closed because of red vision.
And the reason why he shouted such words can only show that he was too confident and did not think that the test flight would fail, so he did not predict the consequences of failure, such as red vision and blindness.
The second detail.
After Qin Dadi was carried away, Yu Tao said this sentence to Xie Zhenyu, who had been chanting "how could it be":
"If it had been you and me just now, the people and planes would have been gone."
Yu Tao left after saying this, and Xie Zhenyu was in a state of confusion and disbelief after listening to Yu Tao's words.
Especially after hearing the scientist's conclusion that the plane was fine, Xie Zhenyu still did not return to his senses.
Xie Zhenyu's self-talk and his state after listening to Yu Tao's words also showed that he never thought that Qin Dadi's test flight would fail.
Xie Zhenyu has always wanted to challenge Qin Dadi, and he feels that he is sure to win against Qin Dadi, so Xie Zhenyu has always believed that if he does this test flight test, he will definitely not fail.
These two details just verify that Qin Dadi's evaluation of Xie Zhenyu is objective and accurate.
Write at the end
Seeing Qin Dadi's performance when he blocked the problem with Suo, he suddenly understood why he reacted so much to Yi Zhengbang for Xie Zhenyu.
Everything Qin Dadi did to Xie Zhenyu was actually to protect Xie Zhenyu.
And Qin Dadi's failure can be regarded as a complete awakening of Xie Zhenyu, making Xie Zhenyu realize for the first time that the flight test is not something that can be completed by self-confidence.
Fortunately, the price of Xie Zhenyu's growth is acceptable, although Qin Dadi's test failed, at least the results are controllable, and Qin Dadi can continue to return to the test flight team after treatment.
