Chapter 465: Landing on Huangshan Tiandu Peak

"You ......"

"Mount Everest?"

Nie Chuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Mount Everest? Did you hear me right? You're going to the world's highest peak?

"Yes!" Wang Buan said with certainty.

"Now?" Nie Chuan was stunned.

"Of course. "Wang Buan is really not afraid of things.

Since you want to test, then test it.

Let's go for a walk around Everest first.

In other words, the attraction of Mount Everest is still very large.

After all, others are also the world's highest peaks, aren't they?

Mountaineering, that's impossible. With a small body like him, he can't even go up halfway up the mountain.

However, if you're flying by helicopter, it's a breeze.

Taking a helicopter up to the top of Mount Everest doesn't seem to be a no-no, right?

"Are you serious?"

"Of course. ”

Nie Chuan took a deep breath.

Using Wuzhi-9 to climb the top of Mount Everest, Wang Bu'an can figure it out.

The summit of Mount Everest, but the altitude is 8,848 meters! It is cold all year round, the snow and wind are strong, and the air flow is disordered. For a helicopter, it is definitely a great test.

Even the Everest base camp, which is halfway up the mountain, is very difficult to dock a helicopter.

However, it is not impossible to take off and land a helicopter on Everest.

Prior to this, the H125 helicopter from Airbus successfully took off and landed on Mount Everest.

It was 2005. Thirteen years ago. This world record has never been broken. Wang Buan has reason to believe that what he was able to do thirteen years ago will definitely be able to be done now.

The difference is that the design of the Airbus H125 is very special, it is a very light helicopter with excellent altitude performance. The price is relatively expensive.

Comparatively speaking, the Wuzhi-9 is an ordinary multi-purpose helicopter, which is not specially designed for the plateau.

The point is that the Airbus 125 landed as a single aircraft.

Now, Wang Buan wants to land in a large formation.

What is the concept of a large formation? It is 37 helicopters that take turns to land and take off.

It's not just as simple as sending one or two people away. Rather, they send large quantities of personnel. even sent a lot of supplies to the Everest base camp.

For example, each helicopter carries thirty tons of supplies or something. One formation is a thousand tons.

Of course, it depends on the needs of the Everest base camp.

Details, that's something to be discussed later.

What he has to do now is to study the feasibility.

"A large formation takes off and lands Mount Everest?"

"All the helicopters?"

Cheng Xiaoshan's eyes sparkled, eager to try.

If it was an ordinary Wuzhi-9, it would definitely be impossible.

There is no such motivation.

There is also no such flight altitude.

It is even more unlikely that the cost of flying will be so high.

However, this is not the case now. Now, all the conditions can be met. There is also no need for fuel costs.

Since the Wuzhi-9 can hover at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it shows that it is completely certain to climb to the top of Mount Everest. Even if there is no way to land in the ice and snow, you can hover in mid-air!

As for the Everest base camp, which is only more than 5,000 meters above sea level, then there is no problem at all. It's a no-brainer.

A formation flight can indeed send thousands of tons of supplies to the Everest base camp.

For the Everest base camp, this is simply a luxury.

"Okay, I'll report. Nie Chuan couldn't hold it back.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's start by analyzing the flight conditions. Cheng Xiaoshan calmed down.

Security is certainly not a problem.

All Wuzhi-9 helicopters are specially modified.

Power and lift, no problems.

There were also no problems with the performance of the engine.

However, it is not so easy to get close to Mount Everest.

The air currents around Mount Everest are very erratic and very cold. There is a chance that the helicopter will freeze.

Fuel may freeze.

Pipelines may freeze.

Avionics systems may freeze.

As soon as a critical component freezes, the aircraft can get out of control.

At the same time, there is also a strong wind blowing.

The strong winds on the top of the snowy peaks are directionless.

The Airbus H125 helicopters of the past were all specially made. Each system is specially treated with antifreeze and wind protection.

However, the Wuzhi-9 has not undergone such treatment.

Even after the reinforcement, there is no special explanation.

"It's okay, let's take it one step at a time. Wang Buan said slowly.

"What do you say?" Nie Chuan was interested.

"Let's experiment mountain by mountain! Step by step. ”

"What mountain to start with?"

"Yellow Mountain. ”

"Good. ”

Huangshan is the closest to Qianzhou, so it is naturally it.

There are three main peaks in Huangshan: Lotus Peak, Tiandu Peak, and Guangming Peak. The elevation of each main peak is above 1,800 meters.

When flying every day, at an altitude of 1800 meters, of course, there is no problem.

However, if you have to travel between the various peaks, take off and land, it is a complicated test.

Practicing hovering at the top of the mountain, he happened to go down to Huangshan to play. You don't need to buy tickets yet. (^_^)

Just do it and prepare your plan right away.

Surely the entire army regiment could not be crowded together.

More than thirty helicopters are crammed together, which is certainly not conducive to flight. It must be separated.

Different helicopters hover in different positions.

Naturally, a staff officer will be responsible for arranging these details.

Of course, it is necessary to inform the relevant local authorities. lest something happen.

Originally, this kind of thing must be questioned if someone else proposes it. Disturbing the place, it doesn't seem to be very good. If something unexpected happens, the consequences are even more severe.

However, Wang Buan didn't care.

He just kills and buries.

If you ask me to do the test, I'll do the test!

It's to get close to the earth!

Of course, the necessary security still needs to be ensured.

The consistent practice is to organize a small detachment to find out the situation. Lessons learned and then rolled out.

Just do it.

Act now.

Visibility was good.

Wind force four to six. Fit to fly.

Nie Chuan and Cheng Xiaoshan personally went into battle and went to Huangshan with three helicopters.

A small team, just three helicopters.

Drivers, of course, are the best of the best.

Wang Buan followed Cheng Xiaoshan to act.

It's not far away, it's there quickly.

There are three main peaks in Huangshan. Wang Buan's goal is Tiandu Peak.

Looking down from the sky, Tiandu Peak is a strange rocky hill, and there is nothing particularly commendable.

The height gradually decreased, and I gradually saw a lot of details.

Gradually, I saw the tourists clearly.

See a lot of scenic spots clearly.

"We seem to have chosen the wrong time. Wang Buan said.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Xiaoshan said, "The current flight conditions are very good." That's right!"

"It's like it's a weekend, and there's a lot of tourists......

"It doesn't matter. ”

Cheng Xiaoshan began to look for a landing site.

On the top of Tiandu Peak, there are no large open spaces. It's hard to land.

On the contrary, there are a lot of cliffs. For example, the back of a crucian carp, a hundred zhang ladder or something, are all very dangerous.

Cheng Xiaoshan circled around Tiandu Peak a few times, but he didn't find a place to land.

Wang Buan also did not find a flat ground that could land.

The steepness of this Tiandu Peak can almost be compared with Xiyue Huashan.

It's a pity that it's not a helicopter of the CH-47 type, otherwise, the direct tail touchdown hovers. He can land gorgeously on the top of the Yellow Mountain.

Fortunately, Cheng Xiaoshan is still very patient.

To be precise, it was the ZM-100 engine that gave him patience.

There is no need to worry about the cost, there is no need to worry about the engine overheating, there is no need to worry about running out of fuel, etc.

He can slowly look for opportunities.

Finally, the hard work paid off.

Finally, he found a vacant lot. It's only about 100 square meters.

He maneuvered carefully and landed accurately.

A few minutes later, it landed safely.

"Thank you!" Wang Buan gave a thumbs up to show his praise.

"It's fine. Mere trifle. Cheng Xiaoshan said a little proudly.

The hatch opened, and Wang Buan jumped off the plane.

There were already dozens of tourists gathered around, looking at them curiously.

The helicopter landed on Tiandu Peak, it seems that it is the first time?

Or land in such a cramped place?

Moreover, it is not the doctors and nurses who came down, nor the military police?

Why did a young man jump off?

Han Xuewei jumped down after him.

She's not a little daring.

After all, it's a girl who wants to go out to sea to fish.

Hearing that Wang Bu'an was going to come to Tiandu Peak of Huangshan to play, she also volunteered to follow.

Wang Buan did not refuse.

In this way, you can show your absolute confidence in Cheng Xiaoshan!

If you refuse Han Xuewei to come with you, doesn't that mean that flying may be dangerous, so you better not come. When the pilot knows, he must feel bad!

"Won't it be too eye-catching for us to do this?" Han Xuewei said in a low voice, "A lot of people take pictures!"

"It's fine. Whatever they are. Wang Buan smiled noncommittally.

There were a lot of people taking pictures around.

Some are filming helicopters.

Some are filming Wang Bu'an and Han Xuewei.

After staying for a while, Cheng Xiaoshan took off in a helicopter. He's going to continue to explore his surroundings.

At this time, the other two helicopters also landed at Lotus Peak and Guangming Peak respectively. However, no one came down from the plane. It's just a matter of practicing take-off and landing repeatedly.

Cheng Xiaoshan circled around several times, and after getting familiar with the situation, he also looked for places to practice taking off and landing.

Overall, it's not too difficult.

The meteorological conditions are very good.

Today's Huangshan has no strong winds. The light is also very good.

The only trouble is that there are no flat enough places on the top of each mountain. It takes a little bit of skill.

But for these old birds, of course, it is not a big problem.

With their experience, it is estimated that the other pilots will not have any problems.

The helicopters are equipped with camera equipment, and the entire take-off and landing process, as well as the surrounding environment, have long been filmed.

With these images as a reference, there is basically no difficulty for future pilots.

If you can't take off and land smoothly according to other people's operations, the technology is too poor.

There are definitely no such bad pilots in the Army Aviation Regiment.

"Is there a doctor?"

"Is there a doctor?"

"Help, is there a doctor?"

Suddenly, behind Wang Buan, someone shouted anxiously.
