The detailed life of pugachev, the ace pilot of the former Soviet Union.

Pugachev, deputy chief designer of Russian Sukhoi Aircraft Design Bureau, Russian meritorious test pilot and Russian hero, aged 50, has been engaged in flying for more than 30 years, including 20 test pilots and flying for 3,700 hours. From 65438 to 0992, pugachev came to work in China for several months, made contributions to China's aviation industry, and forged a deep friendship with China pilots. Superb flying skills, working attitude of striving for perfection and perfect personality make pugachev full of charm.

Dreams come true.

Pugachev wanted to be a pilot since he was a child. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to Iske Aviation School. 1968 On March 23rd, pugachev flew into the blue sky for the first time by La-29 jet. In the same year, the Aviation School established the Su -7β aircraft training brigade. Flight training is conducted in the Tajurog Training Group under the Aviation School, which is a gathering place for flight training experts. Pugachev thinks there are many excellent people and instructors in the aviation school. Pugachev's first instructor was ∏ "Sazonov, and the mid-team leader was B. Gloucester. Krylov and Mazulin both work here. Whenever I recall them, pugachev is always full of gratitude: it was they who trained an inexperienced young man into a real pilot with their own wishes, skills and hands.

After graduating from aviation school, pugachev became a flight instructor. For the next seven years, he taught pilots on the Su -7β plane.

Pugachev doesn't want to be just a flight instructor, he also wants to be a test pilot. From 65438 to 0973, pugachev submitted an application for anthropology to the Test Pilot School of the Ministry of Aviation Industry. It is not easy to get permission, because it means leaving the training group and the army. The answer to the application is: either wait for the next year or give up the application.

Finally, it was the then head of the regiment and now the deputy commander of the Air Force, B. Mikhail Irov, who helped. The application signed by him was sent to the headmaster first, and then to the commander of the military region. 1976, pugachev passed the selection examination, and then there was a long wait. At that time, the head of the delegation and the principal suggested that pugachev should be the deputy head of the district, or enter the Air Force Academy for further study, or wait for a reply from the test pilot school. Pugachev decided to choose to wait. 1June, 977, the admission notice of the test pilot school finally arrived.

The training in the test pilot school is very high. There are teachers and scientists from the flight test institute and the Central Aerodynamics Research Institute. Pugachev thinks he can always meet good people, especially good teachers. The good people in the school are president φ Burtsev, tutor ο Drujinin, Kurt Chekov, θ Karma and so on. They helped pugachev improve his flying skills.

After graduating from the test pilot school, pugachev was assigned to the fighter brigade of the Flight Test Academy. A. Captain Muraviev, his officer and teacher, gave him great help. Pugachev met many people with rich flight test experience in the flight test institute, such as B. Gorki Jenko, A. Schederin, η Volcker, etc.

Pugachev learned more about Sukhoi Design Bureau during his work in the Flight Test Institute. Sukhoi Design Bureau has outstanding test pilots: B Ilyushin, A Isakov and A komarov. They think it necessary to recruit young test pilots. 1980, pugachev became one of the candidates. After talking to the chief designer, Pugacho was transferred to Sukhoi Design Bureau.

The first task given to pugachev by Sukhoi Design Bureau is also a historic task made by pugachev, which is to transfer the Su-17 aircraft from Akhtubinsk to Chernokhovsk. On the third day after the transition, Su-17 flew to Ripehook. I waited here for a week because of the unknown weather; It took another week to reach Bobrovich. Because Chernhovsk is located on the Baltic Sea, the weather is always complicated, so this transition starts from1980165438+10/2 and ends at1981February 2/kloc-0. Pugachev tried its best to complete the transition task in the shortest time.

From 65438 to 0982, pugachev undertook an important task. At that time, he was appointed as the main test pilot of the Su -27 aircraft project and flew the T 10- 15 aircraft.

With the help of Iliukhin, Isakov and Alcaud Love, pugachev learned a lot in one year. I know what Sukhoi Design Bureau is and am ready to complete any task. There are many excellent talents in Sukhoi Design Bureau. They get together to develop new aircraft. Contact with outstanding people has strengthened pugachev's confidence in himself. After Su -27 aircraft was put into use, pugachev began to test-fly T 10-24 new three-wing aircraft with front wing.

Unforgettable test flight of carrier-based aircraft

Su -—27K carrier aircraft is the development type of Su -27 fighter. Pugachev started the test flight of carrier-based aircraft from 1983, and is still continuing this work. Not long ago, the Russian Navy Command also asked pugachev to help the pilots of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov to restore their flying skills.

Pugachev said: The Su-—27K ship cutting machine project introduced me to the chief designer K Malbatev. There are many new things in carrier aviation and aircraft carrier, and everything is done for the first time. Simonov has done a lot of work for the experiment. He is not in the office, but in the airport, using his legs, hands and heart to measure things that instruments cannot measure.

1 989165438+1October1,the Su -27 carrier aircraft landed on the aircraft carrier for the first time, marking the successful completion of a large number of flight tests and the achievement of Sukhoi Design Bureau in the past five years. At that time, the competition between Sukhoi Design Bureau and Mikoyan Design Bureau was fierce. There is a MIG-29K plane waiting in Saki. Its test flight only has more than 20 minutes left, just waiting for an order: take off and land at the nearby airport immediately. At this time, pugachev is flying the Su -—27K plane to complete the planned flight; The purpose is to check the radio equipment of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. During the flight, pugachev was ordered to land on the ship. The chief designer and the entire test flight team are on the aircraft carrier. According to the chief designer's signal, the flight commander gave the order to "complete all the work". Pugachev replied: Yes! The plane landed on the deck successfully after entering for three times, and the plane was cheered. Su-—27K is the first warping machine of Sukhoi Design Bureau. In the end, two kinds of carrier aircraft of the Soviet Bureau boarded the Russian aircraft carrier: Su -—27K and Su -—25yυυ υ.

Cobra maneuver

1988, Sukhoi Design Bureau began the research of super mobility. During the research, it is found that Su -27 aircraft has undeveloped super maneuverability. Calculation, simulation and bench test show that the aircraft can quickly enter the high angle of attack of 90- 1 10 degrees. At that time, the "Cobra" maneuver called "dynamic braking" had not been conquered.

Aerodynamicists B. Gusenik and 0. Kariba Buciuc and engineer B Ivanov have made great contributions to this super maneuver. After pugachev completed the Cobra maneuver test in hundreds of states, the flying altitude gradually dropped to 800-1000 m.

During the period of 1989, pugachev's "Cobra" maneuver was included in the air show project and presented to the world. The whole aviation industry is amazed. At that time, people thought the Su -27 was the best fighter in the world. Therefore, Sukhoi Design Bureau has become the most popular participant in this and many future air shows.

Limit state and recorded flight

Pugachev is a test pilot in a limit state, that is, a dangerous state. Such a test pilot needs not only superb technology, but also an iron will. For example, according to the needs of the mission, two aircraft engines are turned off at an altitude of 2000O m, and the test pilot is not allowed to start the engines again; The engine should start automatically at the altitude of11000-12000 m as scheduled, but what if it doesn't start? In this dangerous situation, the general test pilot may panic, but pugachev can calmly "fall off" until the engine starts to work on its own.

One morning in June, 1986, 1 1, a Su -27 (∏-42) plane was preparing to take off on the airport runway of the test field outside Moscow. The pilot in the cockpit is Victor pugachev. His task today is to break the world record of rising speed held by American pilots. At 10: 45 in the morning, the engine made a huge roar; After a short and fast run, Hawke climbed along an almost vertical trajectory. Pugachev pay attention to control the climbing angle, don't let it continue to increase. Because this is the best climbing angle that has been carefully calculated to break the record. This kind of flight is really not an ordinary flight. In order to accurately maintain the best flight state obtained by computer, pilots must be attentive and skilled, and pugachev has these qualities.

When the flight speed exceeds 800 km/h and the film theodolite records the height of 3000 meters, the test flight is over. The previous world record for rising speed was set by Major P Schmidt, a pilot of the US Air Force, who flew an F- 15A fighter on February 1975. It took Schmidt 27.438+0 seconds to climb the plane from the starting point to an altitude of 3000 meters. Pugachev only took 25.4 seconds, more than 2 seconds less than Schmidt. A new world record of rising speed was born!

In this flight, pugachev also broke the world record for a jet with a takeoff weight of 12- 16 tons to climb to a height of 3000m, which was set by Canadian pilot Mera in 1983.
