Chapter 394: Test Flight
May 3, due to the weather, was not used as a test flight day. According to the design of the aircraft www.biquge.info it is not very squeamish, in short, it is not ideal to fly on a cloudy day, and it is good to prepare for one more day.
Since she waited one more day, some things could be changed, so Xia Shuangshuang, who originally stayed in Hangzhou to continue playing, was summoned by her own sister. If it is to fly an airplane, it is best to let the most reassuring person do it, and this person is Xia Shuangshuang.
Operating a drone is like playing a computer game, and under her sister's careful training, Xia Shuangshuang is already a good drone pilot.
In line with the fact that the younger sister of the adopted daughter is of course also a daughter, Hu Chenghe doesn't mind the newcomer.
Whether she is qualified for the role of driver, star fruit does not have enough confidence in her like Xu Liangyue, after all, this is a real little girl.
"Second sister, don't worry, I've practiced on the simulator many times." Xia Shuangshuang assured.
Carambola shook her head, only hoping that this test flight would not go wrong for human reasons.
Shuangshuang's arrival is to bring a lot of spice to the boring life in the barracks, and she is also involved in the final commissioning of the aircraft.
The two planes were laid off from the vans and placed on the barracks' running playground, and the accompanying staff installed them with some strange things.
Da Ming was very curious, and pointed to the streamlined cylinder mounted on the wings and asked about star fruit. "This thing still has a nozzle, is this a rocket?"
"That's right." Star fruit said triumphantly.
"Oh my God, you put this on the plane, isn't its power system a piston propeller?"
"But that doesn't mean I can't let it run on turbine engines or rocket engines."
She patted the rocket on the wing, which contained a bunch of dimethylhydrazine. This is true for both planes, because of a small ambition of the little girls, that is, to test how far the plane can fly without losing contact, of course, a lot of work will be done on fuel.
There are five external hardpoints on the plane, and the four hardpoints on the wings were originally used to mount warheads, but now two are equipped with rocket engines, two are fuel tanks for propellers, and the bottom of the aircraft is also a fuel tank.
A 360-degree camera is mounted in the nose of the aircraft, and even the tail of the aircraft is also one. Da Ming was puzzled by some strange devices on the tail of the plane, which changed slightly more than the two drones in the wind tunnel experiment.
"If our plane is discovered by enemy aircraft, we always have to find a way to escape, and if they use missiles, we spray a bunch of jamming." The introduction of star fruit dispelled Daming's doubts.
In general, the debugging on the ground is rich and colorful, and the pilots of the plane are Xu Liangyue and Xia Shuangshuang, and the sister combination should also have a more tacit understanding. Tomorrow's plane test flight, a command post was temporarily set up in the barracks, and for this project, Hu Chenghe temporarily ordered the troops to enter a state of combat readiness, and everything was for the smooth conduct of the flight test.
On a new day, when the morning sun is shining on the earth, the early fighters have finished their morning exercises. In accordance with the standards of combat readiness, the room of the flight command post was surrounded by soldiers of one company with loaded guns and live ammunition.
On the other hand, on the playground two planes are ready. Mr. Fu Pengju, as the person in charge of the Dragonfly Research Institute, was also directly responsible for the take-off of the plane, and he took the walkie-talkie to order the two pilots who were already on standby to take off at any time.
The siblings and their classmates stand next to the plane and wait for the exciting moment, the two drones will fly into the blue sky and circle around the province before finally flying back to this playground, if the experiment is successful, then it will be considered a success as an attack drone.
"All in place, I announce, the plane takes off!"
The propellers rotated at Fu Pengju's command, and the two planes began to row and then fly.
"Hooray! Finally flying! Star fruit jumped up excitedly. Everyone, including the onlookers, was extremely excited, and of course she had to rush to the command post immediately to watch the flight status of the plane through the big screen.
This opportunity is very rare, Hu Chenghe hurriedly gathered his officers together to see how the motherland's drones perform their tasks. He was in another room, and the projector was connected to a computer to see the footage taken by the plane.
The brother and sister returned to the command post, this room also had a projector and a screen, the staff stared at the screen, all they had to do was record the parameters, and the specific operation of the plane was still done by the two children.
The various procedures of the plane were written by Xu Liangyue, she trusted herself and her own sister, and others had no objections, so far she was flying the plane very smoothly.
"Our character is flying to Taihu Lake, first of all we will pass through Jiaxing. For this mission, we got airspace of less than 1,000 meters. Again, this time our mission got an airspace of less than a kilometer. Fu Pengju emphasized. His words were for everyone present, the little girl's operation skills were very good, but it was not good if the plane flew too high.
"What if our plane flies to a thousand and one meters?" Da Ming asked suddenly.
"I guess someone will get angry."
Fu Pengju didn't explain who would get angry, he saw Xu Liangyue and Xia Shuangshuang's smiling little faces.
The plane was flying smoothly, at speeds of over 500 kilometers per hour, and the camera was looking out over the ground on a clear day. The plane is only 800 meters above the ground, and the ground is still very clear at this altitude.
The plane flew over Jiaxing, and many people saw the two strange planes, and in the evening the newspaper published a report of the sighting, and was later told that it was a test flight of a new type of aircraft from the army.
In everyone's sight, the plane quickly arrived on Taihu Lake, and there was endless water as far as the eye could see. "If our plane continues to move forward, there will be Wuxi and Changzhou in front of us, and there will be a neighboring province over there." Xu Liangyue said.
"Then we should pivot." Fu Pengju ordered the plane to turn east towards Shanghai.
It was the first time to have a bird's-eye view of the Demon Capital from this angle, and Star Fruit and Da Ming's eyes widened. This city may be one of the directions of development in the future, and it was once one of the options for the company to expand its business to the east, but now it has chosen Hangzhou by chance.
The Oriental Pearl Tower is so tall that planes fly directly over its head. "If we were the leaping Burj Khalifa, we might have crashed into the building." Carambola teased.
"You wait slowly, they haven't started construction yet." Xu Liangyue said.
To be honest, it is really not interesting to fly so steadily, the two planes are one in front of the other, she controls the aluminum alloy one, and Xia Shuangshuang controls the most advanced. The two of them frequently switch lenses so that the viewer can see the angle of the plane and feel the vastness of the sky.
"Maybe it's time to have some music." Xu Liangyue thought that the song of Sky City was very suitable for the current scene.
"Forget it, hum yourself if you want." After that, the star fruit found a stool for herself.
Except for Xu Liangyue, who was humming a tune, the other staff members were recording flight data, and the computer in front of them could only monitor but not control. Carambola noticed that her brother was engrossed in the screen, as were the others.
The sky is vast, and everyone's perspective follows the drone as if they are a bird. The planes flew over Shanghai and began to head south, and the two planes were loaded with enough fuel to now have one of the auxiliary fuel tanks on the wings, and it was abandoned directly into the sea.
The aircraft flew along the coastline to the target to the south.
"It's boring!" Xu Liangyue let out a long sigh.
"Why don't you go down and take a break and go to the bathroom?" Carambola asked tentatively.
"No, I need to go to the bathroom. Shuangshuang, with the autopilot mode, let's take a break for a while. ”
Xia Shuangshuang shook her head, she didn't have the intention of urinating.
And when Xu Liangyue came back, she was surprised to find that the star fruit had already sat in her place, and even put on the headset. "Sister, you shouldn't be so impulsive." Xu Liangyue said angrily.
It's not ignorant about flying an airplane star fruit.,After all, in the FPS games of later generations, I didn't fly a fixed-wing vehicle.,The control of this drone is quite similar.,And after all, she is one of the designers of the aircraft.,The other party is her sister.,How to operate this I don't understand.。 "At most, I'm not as skilled as you, I want to be able to do both, why can't I?"
"Of course." Xu Liangyue originally wanted to say that you can't do it, considering the relationship between this guy and herself, forget it, it's a big deal to play the plane crash, and she herself is not comfortable. But she can't be too proud, "Sister, you press that button and adjust the flight status of the plane slightly." ”
"Sister, that's not!" Xia Shuangshuang just wanted to stop the result, but the star fruit's hand had already pressed the red button.
Who would have thought that this button turned out to be the start switch of the rocket, and the plane suddenly accelerated, as a result of which the entire control center exploded, and the plane climbed at a speed of 210 meters per second, and now it has reached an altitude of 2250 meters.
"What did you all do!" Fu Pengju, who was monitoring the screen, was greatly annoyed.
Seeing that the old man was angry, Xu Liangyue hurriedly pushed away the star fruit seat and quickly turned off the rocket engine of the plane. Then she glanced at Da Ming: "Brother, let me explain to you that someone will be angry, and it is not our Grandpa Fu who is angry, but our air force." Since our planes are attack UAVs, then I think the radar of our army has already shone on us, and you can imagine the rest. ”
Star fruit suddenly realized, she turned her head and looked at Da Ming's expression, and she probably understood.
Only Cheng Manxiu here is very puzzling, what is it that makes everyone very nervous? "Planes will come to intercept us in a moment, and they won't hesitate to shoot us down with their cannons if possible." Ding Chaoyong took the opportunity to explain.
