Chapter 879: Have a name worthy of it

Any textual introduction is not as convincing as personal experience.

What's more, Ye Qing is very modest?

Therefore, after introducing the basic parameters of the aircraft, the cargo compartment of the exquisite aircraft was loaded with an additional 20 tons of cargo.

These twenty tons of cargo are a gift from Chongming Air Base to Behemoth Industry.

The gifts were not expensive, they were all rice, canned meat, canned fruits, and chocolates that were moved from the base warehouse. But twenty tons is a bit scary, and these things are on the one hand to add weight to the aircraft to test its performance. On the other hand, they invited the aircraft from Zhongyun here, and the base side also apologized to some extent.

Escorted by two fighters, the delicate aircraft soared into the sky.

This time, Chongming Air Base is not nervous, on the contrary, they are full of relaxation and pride.

It may not be a few years before this kind of flying machine, which they suspect to be alien technology, will be stationed at their air base.

On the aircraft, Zhang Lao, supported by the two officers, walked into the cockpit of the exquisite aircraft.

There is a very interesting place in the Huaxia Air Force, if you look at the heads of each base and the resumes of the top few bigwigs of the air force in each theater. You will find that most of these people have been pilots when they were young.

can be a pilot, it is a good seedling.

After graduating from aviation school, these pilots are officers, and their mental and physical qualities are one in a million. It is not surprising that they were able to mix into senior officers of the Air Force in the later stages.

Therefore, many people think that senior officers in the Air Force must be pilots, so that they can lead experts.

When Zhang Lao was young, he was naturally also a pilot.

At that time, he drove a propeller transport plane, and now he is old, but his knowledge and understanding of aircraft are getting higher and higher.

From his point of view, the cockpit of the aircraft in front of him has the world's top civil aviation control technology. This is not only reflected in the fully electronic instrument cluster and fly-by-wire controls, but also in the dizzying array of computer-aided functions.

The propeller transport plane that Zhang Lao drove at that time is not mentioned, and the telex system only existed in mythology at that time. All operations have to be done by hand, and when the plane goes down, the pilot can't wait to bring a hammer up and use the hammer to hit various control levers.

There is actually no difference between the piloting system of modern civil aviation aircraft and military transport aircraft, and Zhang Lao is also very familiar with it.

But here, Zhang Lao saw a lot of different things.

For example, when the aircraft climbed to an altitude of 3,000 meters, it happened to be at the same position as the cloud height reported by the tower today. In the process of passing through the clouds, the exterior of the fuselage is easy to freeze in cold weather due to the increase in humidity.

Therefore, the engines of the aircraft are equipped with a de-icing function, but this function needs to be manually turned on by the pilot.

It's not like driving a car, where you can turn on the rear windshield de-icing function at the touch of a button. Aircraft engine de-icing involves a complete set of engine conditions, and the distribution of hot air. Both drivers must execute and confirm several program data before they can turn on this function.

But just now Zhang Lao saw the words "engine de-icing and automatic starting" on the information screen, and the two drivers didn't even look at it.

When the aircraft rises to a higher altitude, this function will be automatically turned off again.

In addition, in the process of climbing, traditional passenger aircraft need to cooperate with the ground tower constantly, so that the tower radar can help them confirm the altitude and speed over and over again. Then the pilot kept adjusting the throttle and adjusting the elevator.

In other words, the ascent of the plane to the stratosphere is not done in one go, but in the same way as climbing the ladder, climbing up the ladder in stages.

In this process, it is not an exaggeration to describe the driver's hands and feet.

But Zhang Lao saw that these two drivers were easier than driving a car during the climbing.

They just set the speed at 500 kilometers, and the aircraft climbed up fully automatically. During the climbing, there was no trace of turbulence at all, and the inevitable feeling of weightlessness after the plane changed from climbing to level flight.

Some people are flying for the first time and are unfamiliar with the situation. When the plane suddenly changed from climbing to leveling, I thought that the plane had fallen, and even subconsciously called out.

"This flying machine is a bit unscientific...... "Zhang Lao thought silently in his heart.

He compares all the new models of Boeing series aircraft, why is the Boeing series now compared with this aircraft, there is a kind of sense of desperate technological gap between domestic aircraft and American transport aircraft in the 80s, when he took advantage of the gorgeous honeymoon period and communicated with the pilots of old American transport planes?

It's just that now the desperate side has become the United States.

"This ...... Colleague, can you get up and let me try to drive this flying machine?" Standing in the back and watching for a long time, Zhang Lao's heart was surging and at the same time, he was also very itchy to watch.

The metal expert glanced back coolly, and saw that the other party was an old man who walked slowly, and asked directly, "Are you okay?"

"Why not?" Zhang Lao was unconvinced, "You have now entered the level flight attitude, even if you don't do anything, the attitude of the aircraft will not change, I will sit on it and make a few small turns and change a few heights." ”

"I can drive an aircraft that manually sets the pitch trim parameters in civil aviation, let alone a fully automatic like yours?"

"Hurry up. Ye Qing slapped the metal expert on the shoulder, under the advanced auxiliary equipment, it was difficult for a layman to drive a delicate flying machine, not to mention an old qualification like an elder who had played almost all the transport planes in Huaxia.

Sure enough~ After Zhang Lao sat down, he didn't even need to ask, and he could easily fly the delicate aircraft from a height of 7,000 meters to 9,000 meters through the knowledge he had observed before.

"Xiao Ye, your flying machine is amazing, even if it doesn't change anything, it has the ability to perform tasks independently. Zhang Lao was full of red light while driving the aircraft in a circle, and said with a hearty smile: "You see that during its flight, all the operation steps do not need to be guided by the ground tower. ”

"By the way, Xiaoye, I'm a little curious. When you first designed this aircraft, why didn't you put a pair of wings on it?"

"Isn't the pursuit of stability and economy for civil aviation aircraft?"

"With the wings, it consumes less energy. ”

Ye Qing thought to himself that this is the reason, the delicate flying machine only has a vertical tail for changing direction. If you fit it with a pair of large wings like a regular airplane, it will generate more lift from the air during flight.

The higher the lift, the less energy the natural engine consumes.

But this drawing was given by the monster factory, and the flight controller was also filled by the monster factory. After changing it, Ye Qing assured that it couldn't fly.

The truth is this principle, but Ye Qing definitely can't say that.

Ye Qing said with a smile: "Elder Zhang, if you increase the wings, then the vertical take-off and landing function will be gone." ”

"Without the vertical take-off and landing function, how can it be called an epoch-making aircraft?"

Zhang Lao laughed, and even said that it really can't be a wing. If you want wings, this combat effectiveness is not guaranteed.

"Xiao Ye, don't worry about it. This aircraft, our Air Force is going to decide. If there are any technical difficulties, if there is any resistance, just let us know. The more Zhang Lao drove, the more excited he became, and he accidentally drove a little harder, allowing the delicate aircraft to quickly drop from a speed of 500 kilometers per hour to 200 kilometers per hour, and then played a classic tactical evasion action at high altitude.

"By the way, Xiaoye, can you produce some more aircraft as soon as possible and sell them to our Air Force. ”

"This aircraft will be a subversive trump card that will change the rules of use of helicopters and transport aircraft on the battlefield in the future. But aircraft for military use are not the same as civil aviation after all. It has to add a lot of additional things, such as protection, electronics, ground firepower, and so on. These things have to be redesigned by technicians. ”

"There has to be a name worthy of it!"
