J-20 is really here! Did you see it?
During the 15th China Airshow, the J- made its official debut, resembling a silver bolt of lightning cutting through the sky. This scene, how I wish this person could see it...
After witnessing the first flight of the "Falcon Hawk" and the landing of the J-fighter, he suddenly passed away. In the indoor exhibition hall of this airshow, there is a wall dedicated to showcasing the heroic models who have made outstanding contributions to the motherland, including Luo Yang, the chief commander on-site of the J-fighter development project.
On a certain date, the "Gyrfalcon" aircraft successfully completed its maiden flight. On another date, Luo Yang, as the on-site general commander of the J-15 development, participated in the first actual landing test of the J-15 carrier-based aircraft. On yet another date, the J-15 successfully landed on the Liaoning aircraft carrier. Two days later, the J-15, which had successfully completed its first landing, returned triumphantly with the Liaoning. However, to everyone's surprise, shortly after leaving the scene, Luo Yang suffered a sudden illness and passed away at the age of 51.
That year, he cheered for the "Falcon Hawk," and that year, he reported on the "Falcon Hawk." In the last month of Luo Yang's life, he rushed to Zhuhai to attend the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, cheering for the "Falcon Hawk." That year, CCTV reporter Wu Jie also participated in the reporting of the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition. Wu Jie introduced an advanced fighter concept model at the scene, which happened to be the "Falcon Hawk," the predecessor of the J-...
After the New Year, at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, reporter Wu Jie from the Central Television Station witnessed the unveiling of an increasing number of new equipment on the exhibition floor. The J-XX, equipped with a domestically produced engine, made its debut flight display at the exhibition, stunning the audience. Additionally, the J-XX and J-XX formed a naval J-XX series carrier-based aircraft formation, flying over the skies of Zhuhai... New equipment was unveiled one after another, fulfilling Luo Yang's wish.
Although Luo Yang has left us, his dream continues. At the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, Academician Sun Cong, chief designer of the J-15, said: "Both the J-15 and the J-16 will be deployed on aircraft carriers. The planning for the J-15 began in 2009, and after a decade of development, it is now being presented to the public."
Luo Yang once said before his passing, "Our greatest pursuit or ideal is to, through our own efforts, enable our country's advanced fighter jets to be equipped by the military as soon as possible, and to make our national defense industry even stronger!" Today, all of this is gradually becoming a reality! Looking back, the light boat has passed through myriad mountains; looking forward, the path ahead is long yet splendid. This scene, you will surely witness!
