“Usually such tests were conducted in winter time, so it was deadly cold without a canopy and I was pretty glad when this heating began, counting minutes before the plane would reach enough speed/velocity so that the air around becomes hot enough. But it wasn’t the main problem for me. In my personal rating of the dangers connected with such tests one of the most bad sides was the extreme roar. Because of this extreme roaring you couldn’t hear the radio so you were flying in deaf mode, you were afraid to pull throttle harder just because going faster was meaning going louder.“, he continues.

飛機準備進行無艙蓋飛行

 就好比在海面上飛行的一輛敞篷車。

 起飛之后

這才是真正的飛行試驗，副駕駛從后艙經彈射火箭彈射出場，進行救生系統(tǒng)的試驗，而機長繼續(xù)駕駛著飛機完成降落。

弗勞洛夫安全地將沒有艙蓋的飛機降落在跑道上。
