Q: Why did it take so long for China to land a jet on an aircraft carrier?
I just heard the news that China landed its first jet on it's new aircraft carrier yesterday! So strange! I mean they have made huge strides in their space program with orbital docking a few months ago and only now land a plane on the deck of a carrier. What is wrong with this picture?
Would you want to fly a jet plane "made in China"?
They can't even mickey mouse stuff here, no duct tape. Every smashed ebike I see has clear tape holding it together, that's just not right. How can you build stuff without good duct tape?
Hahahahaha
can you imagine what it looks like
It would only be half finished
The propellers would come from WW2 US surplus that was marked for destruction 50 yrs ago
the rudder would be controlled by the same string they use to tie up their bags when traveling on a train
the windows would be old water bottles
the pilot would sit on a 3 legged stool with a wobbly leg
all painted red with the little safety ornament hanging in the cockpit
and you can guess what the before take off safety brief would sound like
Traveler:
To be fair, the J-15 is a pretty reasonable copy of the Russian Su-33 (though of course claimed to be entirely original and superior Chinese technology.).
You guys should go to the Zhuhai air show and you'd be amazed at just how well they have copied the aircraft of other countries like the SU27 from Russia and America's F22. The aviation and aerospace programs at Beihan are top notch (I taught there for a year). It's certainly not the Chinese equipment that is inferior, but perhaps the pilot training they get. I heard that the only thing more difficult than landing a jet on a moving aircraft carrier in rolling seas, is having sex with the preacher's daughter on a Sunday after Bible study.
They didn't even have a carrier until a few months ago. So that it is just getting operational now isn't that hard to understand. After all, they aren't even going to attempt destroying untold millions worth of hardware until the pilots are heavily trained.
Even in the US pilots have to go through months of training just for carrier landings. The big news is that they didn't crash first time out (at least they aren't reporting it).
Speaking as someone who has sat in the cockpit of a plane landing (not in anyway controlling the plane myself) on an aircraft carrier, I can tell you it takes huge amounts of skill and a really large set of balls to do right.
And for preachers daughters, the ones I knew were very rebellious and would happily have sex after and perhaps during Sunday sermons. I knew one girl who told me she loved giving her bf oral sex behind the pulpit because she knew how much it would piss of her father if he ever found out. She was a twisted little monkey.
