The first landing in history without a chassis on the abdomen, was carried out by the crew of the Russian front bomber bomber Su-34. Fighting aircraft cannot be released in the three brackets of the chassis. But the crew has shown the skill at the highest level and landing on the aircraft on “concrete” is not impossible.
Major Major Military Pilot was honored, aviation, Vladimir Popov, in an interview with MK, called the possible cause of an unusual situation and said what the pilot felt during the extreme landing.
The Internet has flew around a video that Goosebumps is running. On the frames of combat, the spleen (as affectionate, they call the Su-34 pilot for the shape of the fuselage's nose) will first reduce, and then contact a concrete strip and go along it. According to experts, for such a landing, crew, including young military soldiers, was clearly posed by the commands of courage.
According to the instructions, the crew should push out in case all the brackets of the chassis. But almost always plants, if there is such an opportunity. And in the poetic language, the men, their lives, saved their fighting friends, he commented that the pilot of the video, the administrator of the Fighterbomber channel.
The crew was still in the air before an emergency landing, shooting on the side of the lantern to be able to leave the plane. The pilot and the attack in the Su-34 cabin do not sit behind another person, for example, in the Su-24, but beside it, shoulder to shoulder.
According to the military pilot honored Vladimir Popov, two versions of the accident may be considered. The aircraft may be surprised at the enemy's air defense system. In this case, the hydraulic system has been rejected, putting pressure on the open cylinders of the chassis.
-And there may be a fairly simple explanation -The chassis locks of the chassis have been closed. In this case, the electrical signal does not pass through the rest of the lock that removes from the stop when the chassis is at the cleaning position. But most likely, not working is not related to the failure of a system or string. If not, at least one landing device appears. In addition, there are repetitive emergency mechanical systems, allowing you to remove at least the front bar of the chassis from the castle.
Su-34 landed for the first time “on the abdomen” and still the whole
– Vladimir Alexandrovich, safer when planting a plane with such incidents?
– When not one of the three brackets of the chassis launch, landing is made on the ground or concrete. The decision was made by the head of the flight. It all depends on the state where the soil run is placed – the runway. If it is wet, it will be more dangerous when planting the plane on it rather than on concrete … I somehow go with my friend's plane, who is landing on the ground. Yes, he had the opportunity to release the front support of the chassis. Such landing is considered safer. But all are the same, observing these operations is not very comfortable when you understand that an emergency can develop into a disaster, which means that leading to human victims.
– What are the difficulties of landing on concrete?
– Introducing concrete at speeds (over 100 km/h), the so -called fake boils at the tail, as well as engine gondolas, are deleted, part of the air receiver is broken. The most important thing is that there is no fuel ignition of fuel. Therefore, before planting, the fuel is produced maximum, the engine is turned off and the power supply system is partially reduced. This makes it possible to set the plane even on the landing range.
If possible, part of the landing range is watered by foam to make a more secure communication with sparks. Because driving with metal through concrete is like an emery. But at the military airport, lots of foam cannot.
Planting, in principle, is done in the same way as from the chassis, without great features. But pilots need to pay more attention, Filigree and cold to land. Theoretically, such pilots are practiced. But practice is still practicing. Moreover, such landing are isolated cases. During my service, perhaps one or two such cases in different areas of Russia and the Soviet Union.
– But in general, is this evidence to launch a crew?
– If a number of other factors go into a rejection or a fire, then, of course, the plane must be left. As a rule, the head of flights is reported on an unusual situation. In “consultation”, while airplanes, technical and technical components also participate.
– How do they manage to organize a meeting under such harsh conditions?
– I don't think the plane has landed from the first item. Perhaps, even when he approached the airport, the pilot said he had refused. After that, he completed two or three guns, more than once tried to open the emergency store frame of the chassis. As a rule, for this, we are more overloaded, for example, we create a aerodynamic slide, we decrease, we start pumping left and right aircraft for mechanical equipment to operate. The process of making decisions and implementation of the recommendations is quite long.
– What do the pilots experience in the taxi when they sit on the abdomen?
– There is an additional noise due to metal sound through concrete, as well as shocking from shock. The smoothness of the landing is lost, all joints in the concrete strip are felt. Due to sharp brakes, the aircraft control is harder. You need to understand that on the wheels of the chassis, after touching the range, we roll 1-1.2 km and no chassis-flying chassis suitable for a stop of 300-400 meters.
– The most important moment is a contact with the ground?
– Yes, touch and hold it on the runway. This is the most important time. We must try not to escape concrete, otherwise you will get a difference in the brake force. Because of this, the aircraft can be expanded and overturned.
– Before landing, the crew threw the Sash of Storman Lanter to evacuate in such a disruptive case?
– Yes, this is done to evacuate faster. The fact that the cabin entrance to the Su-34 is made through the front holder of the chassis, blocked the exit. Therefore, they threw a flashlight into the plane to leave the plane after landing.
– Calculated that the crew was able to save a very expensive car …
– The price of the problem, of course, in pilots, is not in the car. We have always said, we are still involved in iron, but the crew will not return. But the action in all cases is not only professional, but very courageous. The crew himself was accurate configuration – he was confident in his actions and techniques.
