"Yes, prepare to ignite in the air." Omar calmed down, and began to toggle various switches according to the advance plan.

It is also very risky to start in the air, because this will waste the precious power on the plane. Omar has already turned off all the equipment that is not used on the plane. If the engine can be started, then the situation will be different. Mitigation, if not activated, will only make matters worse.

"Ready."

"Click the right hair first, then the left hair."

According to the emergency plan provided by France, for this dual-engine Mirage 4000, in the most complicated situation where both engines are parked in the air, the right engine should be fired first, and then the left engine should be clicked.

"Yes." Omar pressed the switch, and then hoped that there would be a roar coming from behind.

Very good!He felt a surge of excitement, and heard the roar coming from behind, and then saw the engine revolution meter in front of him begin to show numbers.

The right engine ignited successfully!Then, the left engine also ignited successfully.

Omar has a feeling of being teased. He usually loves this fighter plane very much. How could he make such a joke with himself?

"Report, the 017 engine started successfully."

Hearing the voice from the radio, the commander on the ground tower also breathed a sigh of relief. The engine started successfully, so the flight back is very confident.

Omar held the steering column, watched the sea outside the cockpit disappear, and he entered the air above the land.

Finally flew back!

Omar suffered too many tests this day. Just as he saw hope, the two engines behind him stopped running again.

The engine stopped again!

"Report, 017 engine stop." Omar shouted again.

"Facing the direction of the airport, prepare for an emergency landing, the situation is critical, and you can parachute at any time." The ground staff ordered.

The engine stops again, but it cannot be restarted again. In this way, the precious power of the aircraft will definitely be consumed. There must be a problem with the two engines. It is better to find out the reason if you can fly back. Then let the pilot parachute. Between saving the fighter plane and the pilot, the pilot must be the first. If the plane crashes, you can buy it again. The pilots who spend a lot of money on training are valuable assets of the Iraqi Air Force.

However, Omar didn't want to parachute, he was so close to the airport, he was fully capable of flying the fighter plane back!His Excellency Qusay’s trust and the promotion of the Air Force Commander allowed him to fly the most capable fighter in the entire Iraqi Air Force. He has no reason to abandon this fighter. If this is the case, he will never raise his head again. .

Moreover, the failure of the plane this time is very strange. After flying back, the cause can be found out. Otherwise, this most advanced plane may have to wait for the investigation of experts. It will definitely stop until the exact cause is found. Fei, if the fighter plane crashes, the reason may not be revealed for a year or so, and those colleagues must scold him to death!

Fly back!Omar firmly believed in himself.

With the engine stopped, not only the power is lost, but also the precious oil pressure. If the oil pressure is not enough, then the landing gear cannot be put down, and the plane’s belly is forced to land, which is even more dangerous. The auxiliary fuel tank is dropped, although there are no weapons mounted on the hanging points under the belly, but there are still missiles hanging under the wings!When using a belly landing, the wings may touch the ground at any time.

At that time, there will be flames, and his forced landing will not only bury himself in the flames, but also cause great damage to the airport.

"017 can make an emergency landing, requesting an emergency landing at the airport." Omar shouted firmly on the radio.

"Yes." The commander agreed to his request.

The airport was fully mobilized, the main runway was vacated, the airspace was cleared, and even civil aviation aircraft were transferred to Baghdad Airport.

At the same time, under the guidance of the radar, Omar was gradually approaching the airport.

When still five kilometers away from the airport, Omar began to lower the landing gear.

"The landing gear is in place," Omar said over the radio.

Commander prompts: "You can descend now, descend the height normally, and prepare to enter the stable descent line."

"Yes."

"See the runway?"

"Already seen the runway."

"Align the runway."

"Already aligned."

"Pay attention to the direction, then descend the altitude, and prepare to release the speedbrake."

Omar looked at the runway getting closer and closer, and his mind became more calm, because this is the most critical moment and the most dangerous moment.

Sliding down, sliding down again, two circuits of the four-duty fly-by-wire system have already started to light up red lights, but they are still accepting his normal instructions, but the oil pressure begins to drop, and the operation of the rudder surface is no longer Very flexible.

"Squeak!" The rear wheels began to touch the ground.

"Now you can drop the umbrella, check the speed, pay attention to the direction."

At the tail of the Mirage 4000 fighter, the parachute was successfully released, and the fighter began to slow down.

The firefighters on the ground are watching this fighter plane that makes the Iraqi Air Force proud with eager eyes, hoping that it can be successfully tamed by Omar and return to the ground obediently.

Now that the main landing gear of the fighter has touched the ground, the situation is improving.

At this time, the mouths of the people on the ground suddenly opened wide, and the front landing gear of the Phantom 4000, just as it started to touch the ground, suddenly recovered slowly by itself!What are you doing?

Due to the lack of pressure in the hydraulic system, when the nose landing gear was deployed, it was not locked. Therefore, according to the preset situation, the nose landing gear began to retract by itself. long.

"Brake, brake with all your strength!" the commander ordered.

Omar didn't know that the front landing gear was slowly retracting. He completely obeyed the commander's order and started to brake with all his strength. Due to insufficient oil pressure, the brakes were not as violent as before, but the fuselage still felt the vibration. Under the transmission of a shock, the front landing gear was lowered again!

Finally, the front landing gear also touched the ground, and the fighter plane was still sliding on the runway, and its speed was slowly decreasing.

At the end of the runway, it finally stopped.

Chapter 531 Change the engine!

Mirage 4000 fighter jet, two engines stopped at the same time. This was a serious accident. Omar drove the powerless fighter plane and successfully flew back to the airport, so he made a second-class contribution.

At the same time, an intensive investigation into the cause of the accident has also begun. This accident has aroused the close attention of His Excellency Qusay. You must know that this kind of fighter jet is his magic weapon for dominating the Middle East in recent years. He will never tolerate such a The fighter has major flaws, especially the engine!

In dealing with this issue, the Iraqi personnel clashed with the French Dassault technicians.

The French side firmly believes that there is no problem with its engine, and the cause of the problem must be caused by improper maintenance of the Iraqi ground crew.

At this time, Iraq is no longer the original Iraq without any industrial foundation. Iraq has brought back many experts from Western developed countries. Moreover, during the assembly process of F-20 fighter jets and F404 engines that began in Iraq, The Iraqi side has been secretly finding out the various technical means of these fighter planes and engines, and Iraq already has almost an aviation industry research team.

After they came into contact with the F404 engine, an advanced twin-rotor turbofan engine, they raised many questions about the M4000 engine of the Mirage 53. This time, the Mirage 4000 dual-engine air parking verified some of their judgments. They firmly believe that , the problem is the cause of the engine itself.

During the dispute between the two parties, the rear fuselage of the Mirage 4000 was also disassembled, the engine was removed, and a thorough dissection was performed.

Generally speaking, there are several situations for engine shutdown: the first one is oil leakage or oil pump failure, the lubrication system fails, and the engine locks the shaft to stop. In this case, there is no possibility of restarting; the second one is that the compressor or turbine The blade breaks, or the internal bearings, shells and other important load-bearing parts explode; the third type is that the engine surges or is sucked into the wake of other aircraft or missiles, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply; and other reasons.

If in the past, French technical experts would have demanded that the engine be shipped back to France for dismantling and inspection, then the cause of the accident was entirely their own. Now, the production line of the Mirage 4000 in Iraq is being debugged, and The production line of the F404 engine has already started normal production. At the insistence of the Iraqi side, the M53 engine was disassembled in Iraq.
