910: Chapter 902: Plane Fleeing Frantically!

Mysteriously Disappeared!

Severe deviation!

Should it be shot down?

The message spread like wildfire, and the fighter jets had already taken off in hot pursuit.

Should they just let it deviate and fly overseas, or simply obliterate it midair?

This business jet belonged to the Xingjian Group of the Liuli Continent.

Originally, it had been approved to fly from Liuli City to Qicheng, taking off around 8 p.m.

Shortly after taking off, it maintained the approved flight path, flying within the designated airspace and altitude.

Then, it began to deviate from that path.

The air traffic controller, detecting this via radar, immediately informed the flight crew.

At first, the pilot claimed there was a minor malfunction and that they were working hard to resolve it.

The air traffic controller also helped to direct air traffic, making other aircraft give way to avoid a midair collision.

However…

The business jet kept deviating further.

Due to the Sakuragi Hana virus outbreak, international commercial flights were still strictly prohibited.

Traveling at over 800 kilometers per hour, the business jet needed less than half an hour to leave the exclusive economic zone of the ocean.

Upon asking the flight crew, the response was that the malfunction was not yet fixed and that the navigation system was suspected to have issues.

Such nonsense might fool laymen but to try and deceive air traffic controllers?

Who are they kidding?

Nowadays, aircraft navigation systems are highly advanced, featuring satellite navigation, inertial navigation, and radio beacon positioning.

Furthermore, for easy aircraft positioning, airports and navigation stations are equipped with ground-based augmentation systems, GBAS.

Their locations are fixed, and they continuously inform aircraft of their positions via very high frequency broadcasts.

After receiving the signal, combined with satellite positioning data, the aircraft performs pseudorange differential correction to obtain its precise location.

Thus, the probability of an aircraft navigation system malfunctioning or disappearing is extremely low, unless the pilot intentionally vanishes.

What was most baffling…

The air traffic controller seriously inquired what exactly was malfunctioning and if there was a need to arrange an emergency landing at an airport.

The business jet’s pilot, after a considerable delay, replied that the avionics system had malfunctioned.

The avionics system is central to an aircraft.

It processes all the pilot’s operational commands through the central computer, then relays them to the engine, wing flaps, tail rudder, and other major components and mechanisms.

But today’s aircraft are highly intelligent.

The avionics system typically has two or even three backup redundant systems; if one fails, the others are still operational.

Even if all fail, there remains a mechanical control system.

Anyway.

The aircraft abnormally deviating on its own, and just so happens to head east…

Who are they trying to fool?

Perhaps knowing they could not hide it any longer, or perhaps because even the flight crew found their reasons too absurd,

So afterward, they simply shut down the communication equipment and transponders, heading directly east.

Then…

The air traffic controller immediately reported the emergency.

A business jet severely deviated, suspected of fleeing overseas.

Aircraft entering and exiting domestic airspace require strict approval, typically only granted to diplomatic flights of various countries.

This was strange.

A business jet belonging to a private enterprise, without permission, boldly flying overseas.

Thus, according to the emergency response mechanisms,

a military airbase on 24-hour standby immediately deployed two heavy air dominance fighters.

In urgent situations, fighters usually deploy in pairs.

And they were typically large-fuel-capacity, advanced equipment, long-range heavy air dominance fighters.

Should one encounter a malfunction, the other could continue the mission.

Even if no issues arose with either aircraft, once reaching the operational area, one could take on surveillance and warnings while the other stayed ready for combat,

Should an attack order be issued, it could swiftly open fire.

Or alter due to any unforeseen circumstances.

Single aircraft deployment was out of the question.

And with the emergency dispatch of two heavy fighters, from the moment they began taxiing, it was money burning.

Deploying two fighters instantly burned tens of thousands in funds.

Once airborne, they engaged the afterburner, chasing rapidly.

Because the business jet was a large target with a distinct radar signature, the long-range air-to-air missiles they carried had an effective range of nearly 300 kilometers.

Therefore, if they merely needed to shoot it down, they only needed to chase for about fifteen minutes.

Once the target entered the missile range, they could fire.

A civilian business jet was no military fighter, large and with limited overload resistance.

Once the missile approached, it couldn’t execute jamming or interception, nor perform any extreme evasive maneuvers.

Much like racing motorcycles that can accelerate rapidly but remain agile and maneuverable,

A large truck making sudden movements at high speed would surely lose control and crash.

Furthermore…

The two fighters couldn’t continuously chase the business jet into another country’s airspace—that would surely cause an international dispute.

And according to the business jet’s current speed, it would pass through in another thirty minutes.

So…

Considering the time needed for the fighter pilots and for missile flight,

Should they shoot down this business jet?

Elder Tan was left with only twenty minutes to make a decision.

And before Elder Tan could decide, new developments occurred.

The remote warning radar showed that the business jet continued to descend, seemingly preparing to dive into the sea.

Was it truly malfunctioning, had it been hijacked, or was there some other situation…

it was completely unknown.
