Video | Guarding the War Eagle as it Soars into the Sky! Exploring the Behind-the-Scenes Story of Fighter Jets Taking Off
How rigorous does the process of launching a warplane need to be? Does the runway cleaning have to be divided into several teams? A reporter from the main station takes you behind the scenes of the warplane's takeoff story.
Comprehensive and three-dimensional cleaning
Creating a safe takeoff and landing space for warplanes
At a certain unit of the Southern Theater Air Force
Before each flight training begins
The ground support personnel
Are the first to enter for runway inspections
During runway cleaning
The strong blowers and sweepers are in the "first team"
Using high-pressure airflow
To sweep the runway over a large area
The battery vehicles are in the "second team"
Once the strong magnetic suction devices on both sides of the vehicle are lowered
They can adsorb metal foreign objects
Finally
Manual inspections are still required
The soldiers carefully search the center of the runway
Not even a small bug
Will be overlooked
In addition
Facing the birds that may appear in the air at any time
The support personnel use bird-repelling drones
Greatly improving work efficiency
Accurate meteorological information
Is key to formulating and implementing flight plans
Powerful meteorological support
Gives pilots the confidence to face
Complex weather conditions
This requires meteorological support personnel to make precise judgments
Releasing hydrogen balloons with thermal resistors
Can detect
Temperature, air pressure, and humidity in the atmosphere
The forecasters will use the collected data
To forecast the next day's flight missions
Comprehensive maintenance and timely repairs
Keep the warplanes in optimal condition
After the warplanes safely "return to the nest"
The maintenance personnel
Begin the cleaning and maintenance work on the aircraft
Warplanes deployed in humid environments
Are constantly subjected to the test of corrosion
When moisture and salt
Enter the aluminum alloy skin of the aircraft
Corrosion can easily form on the aircraft parts
The rust removal and anti-rust treatment of the aircraft
Is not as simple as just holding a spray gun and a bucket of paint
From cleaning to preparing agents
To re-sealing
The maintenance personnel continuously explore and research new methods
The dazzling flight path of the steel warplanes
Cannot be separated from the behind-the-scenes support of
"Invisible wings"
They use their daily dedication
To perfect the mundane tasks
Guarding the warplanes as they pierce the sky
Escorting every thunderous strike
Southern Theater Command Air Force personnel conducted extensive preparations for aircraft operations, including runway inspections and maintenance. They utilized drones to deter birds and relied on meteorological data for flight planning. Maintenance activities focused on preventing rust and ensuring aircraft readiness after exposure to harsh conditions.
- Aircraft maintenance personnel conduct thorough runway inspections before flights.
- Drones are used to deter birds during flight operations.
- Meteorological support is crucial for flight planning and execution.
- Maintenance includes rust prevention and cleaning of aircraft after exposure to harsh environments.
