From September 14th to 17th, the 6th China Tianjin International Helicopter Expo was held in Tianjin. The aerobatic performances presented by the Army’s “Fenglei” aerobatic team were very popular. Eight aerobatic subjects including “Three-Aircraft Ballet”, “Tail Chase Spiral” and “Four-Aircraft Blossom” fully demonstrated the effectiveness of the transformation and construction of the Army Aviation Forces and actual combat training. .
Z-19 pilot Niu Chao, Z-10 pilot Yang Bo, and Z-20 pilot Sun Dong of the Army’s “Fenglei” aerobatic team explained the highlights of the flight performance.

Z-19 pilot Niu Chao: Innovative design of “three-plane ballet” performance course
The “three-plane ballet” is a classic action performed by the Z-19 in this flight display, including technical movements such as hovering and turning, spiral lift, circle point, and three-plane pendulum.
It can be seen at the flight show that the three Z-19 armed helicopters maintained the same altitude and flew around the center point. Then the lead aircraft commanded the wingmen on both sides to adjust their positions and postures. The lead aircraft made forward and backward pendulum movements, and the wingmen made left and right pendulum movements simultaneously. .
Z-19 pilot Niu Chao said that realizing the “three-plane ballet” not only requires the helicopter to have flexible technical and tactical performance, but also requires the pilot to have excellent flying skills and tacit coordination.
“Turn around a point not only requires the pilot to maintain his own rotation angular speed, but also take care of the rotation angular speed of the other two aircraft, which is a great test of the pilots’ coordination and cooperation.” Niu Chao said that among the three aircraft pendulums, the lead aircraft does the front and rear pendulum, while the larger helicopter When flying at an elevation angle, the pilot cannot even see the ground, and relies entirely on flight experience and comprehensive judgment of the flight attitude to control the helicopter. When the wingman swings left and right, the lateral slope of the helicopter changes greatly, requiring the pilot to be highly sensitive to the body and to be aware of the changing trends of the flight attitude. The judgment is accurate, which tests the pilot’s flying skills and coordination.
The reporter learned from the Army’s “Fenglei” aerobatic team that the pilots participating in this aerobatic display had all undergone at least 1,500 hours of flight training. The performance team has conducted intensive training for this flight performance mission for more than two months. The “Three Aircraft Ballet” is a brand-new performance course carefully designed for this Tianjin Direct Expo.

Z-10 pilot Yang Bo: “Four aircraft bloom” demonstrates superb flight skills
“Four aircraft pulled up at the same time! Rapidly rising! Reaching the top! Blooming!” The flight path of the four Z-10 armed helicopters was like a flower blooming in the sky, and the audience cheered.
“Behind the wonderful visual presentation is the accumulation of repeated training over time.” Yang Bo, a Z-10 pilot who performed the performance of this course, said that “Four Aircraft Blooming” requires completing multiple actions in a short period of time, approaching the field at a low altitude, and then quickly and quickly at a large angle. Pulling up and then adjusting the course to quickly disengage requires a high level of pilot’s flying skills.
“The number of helicopters participating in the air show at this air show is larger than before, and the scale is larger. There are many aircraft, and the air operation of the fleet becomes more difficult, requiring pilots to have more sophisticated flying skills and more stable operations.” Yang Bo said that participating in the flight The pilots performing the mission are mainly young pilots. Many of them have participated in major missions such as the National Day military parade and the 90th anniversary military parade of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army, and have very rich experience.
Z-20 pilot Sun Dong: For the first time, the Z-20 demonstrated multiple flight maneuvers at the Tianjin Zhi-20 Expo.
“O”-shaped landing, hovering and nodding, flying sideways, forward and backward maneuvers, flying around a point, rising vertically, hovering and turning at a high altitude…a series of actions are compact and smooth, all done in one go.
Z-20 pilot Sun Dong said that the Z-20 participated in the Tianjin Zhi Expo for the first time after being commissioned into the Army’s “Fenglei” flight demonstration team in June this year. “We have been training for more than two months just to achieve a better flight display effect.” Sun Dong said.
The Z-20 tactical utility helicopter is a medium-sized twin-engine multi-purpose helicopter independently developed by my country. It is equipped with two domestic advanced turboshaft engines. It can perform diversified tasks such as landing and transportation under complex weather conditions day and night. It has full-range, full-time capabilities. Dispatch capability.
“The advanced equipment supports us to perform various demonstration actions.” Sun Dong said, for example, when flying the Z-20 today to fly around a point, the wind speed was strong, making it difficult to maintain the flight trajectory and virtual points. It is easy to deviate from the predetermined point. “The Z-20 has high maneuverability and flexibility, allowing me to control the aircraft well and complete specified flight maneuvers at predetermined points.”
The Army’s “Fenglei” aerobatic demonstration team was established in May 2013. The team members are composed of pilots from an Army aviation brigade. This is their fifth time to participate in the China Tianjin International Helicopter Expo.
