Video: J-15 Test Flight Near Miss Revealed, Stopped Less Than 5 Meters from Aircraft Carrier Deck Edge

Carrier-based aircraft test flight

Often means facing a blank slate

Recently, a piece of early precious footage was revealed

Showing the J-15 carrier-based aircraft during a ski-jump takeoff

When the engine suddenly encountered a crisis

In the end, the test pilot precisely controlled the aircraft

Stopping just under 5 meters from the edge of the deck!

“Stunning landing” of the J-15 on the Liaoning

Behind it is a group of “pioneers” who rise to the challenge

Navy test pilot Yang Yong introduced

As a carrier-based aircraft test pilot

The truly difficult moments are never about life and death

But how to face a blank slate

“Back then, carrier-based aircraft test flights started late, and experience was lacking

It was a blank slate both domestically and within the military”

No one told the first batch of “pioneers”

Whether they could fly or how to fly

Every meter flown was drawing a flight path for those who came after

In the early days

A J-15 carrier-based aircraft encountered an engine crisis during a ski-jump takeoff

Ultimately

This test pilot precisely controlled the aircraft

Stopping just under 5 meters from the edge of the deck

After countless efforts from researchers and test pilots

On November 23, 2012

The J-15 achieved a “stunning landing” on the Navy's Liaoning

Marking the Liaoning as a true aircraft carrier

Yet behind the cheers

The long road has just begun

The path of carrier-based aircraft test flights is filled with sacrifices and trials

Yang Yong experienced the serious injuries and sacrifices of two comrades in just over twenty days

△ Honor wall, the deeds of Cao Xianjian and Zhang Chao.

At that time, he had only one thought in his mind:

Do not be afraid, do not panic, do not retreat

No one in the unit backed down

“We tightly grip this control stick

With a strong determination not to give up in our hearts

Carrier-based aircraft pilots need people like us”
