Chapter 792: Flying Formula
In all fairness, putting aside the influence of the card system, putting aside the foresight of Zhao Xin, the traverser, after putting these aside, Zhao Xin's greatest influence on the Dinghai Navy is actually the establishment of a complete set of scientific systems, which directly laid the foundation for the future development of the Dinghai Navy.
You must know that Zhao Xin is from the 21st century, one of the highest universities in China, even if he is studying liberal arts, history and archaeology, but a set of experimental methods formed by natural sciences has also made him more familiar with it.
In the history of science, it took hundreds of years to form a set of scientific experimental methods under the dual influence of computers and the microscopic world, which in itself was finally summed up by countless scientific workers and countless times.
On the shoulders of giants, perhaps, temporary science and technology or something, is not perfect, and even there are faults in science and technology, but under such a scientific and unwasted method, continuous development will gradually supplement the original lack of parts, and under the strong accumulation, gradually develop.
The scientific research system formed by the Dinghai Navy has gradually proved that this system is very useful in many scientific and technological systems in the past, so of course, this system is also used in such a new field as aircraft.
In the process of designing experiments, many experimental objectives are designed, which can eliminate all interference, record the most scientific data, and then scientifically screen these data, use probability to reduce a series of accidental factors, and finally point to the need for data.
This is the 21st century, in the continuous research, under the premise of eating too many losses, the final summary, but was used by the Dingjun, although there are many deficiencies, but for the Dingjun, this is a blank paper, at the beginning, Zhao Xin wanted how to calligraphy and painting, how to calligraphy and painting, in this case, the foundation laid, in the end, the effect is that all the research projects are more focused.
It is precisely because of such scientific experimental methods that ineffective efforts and useless efforts have been avoided, and even under the premise of considerable resistance, the development of the Dinghai Navy in this aspect of science and technology has always been very fast, which is the foundation of the Dinghai Navy.
In this sense, even if it is Zhao Xin, under the current situation, there is really no way to influence the Dingjun, and even after disappearing, there is no way to continue to change the Dingjun, so that the Dingjun Navy has laid the foundation of education at present, plus a certain number of scientists, the Dinghai Navy itself can develop a magnificent civilization, and even enter the modern society faster than in history, it is not impossible.
Because Zhao Xin left too many things, textbooks from primary school to high school, these are complete and have enough system, which represents the future generations, more than 300 years of scientific and technological development, even if there will be certain hidden dangers, but in the end, when these are digested and absorbed, directly have the 19th century, or even the 20th century science and technology system, and there is a way forward in the future, there will be no obstruction ahead.
Regarding this, Zhao Xin will not think about it at all, in the current state, Zhao Xin is still young, is in the most robust, and the best era in all aspects, long-term control of the Ding Navy, and even the prestige of the people at the bottom, so that his power is unbreakable, the Ding Navy is under his integration, high-speed preemptive development, the aircraft project, is just one of them, or even one of them, a rather unimportant project.
If we say that under the premise of external threats, weapons must be the first to be developed, and perhaps under certain conditions of war, the emergence of a weapon is enough to change the fate of a country, but at present, the weapons of the Dinghai Navy have already beaten the world, and even if all the countries of the world at the end of the 20 th century are pulled out and fight with the Dinghai Navy, they will not be able to defeat them.
For example, when we met the Qing army in 1840, the British and French armies at that time, compared with the later generations and the armies of the 21st century, perhaps, they killed a little faster and won a little faster, but for the overall situation, the impact was not great, at most it was a process of icing on the cake.
If it weren't for the plane, which has the fastest speed in the world, and is also the most convenient and fast means of transportation, I'm afraid, Zhao Xin wouldn't have spent so much effort on the plane, and would only use him as an alternative project, similar to those projects There are actually many more.
In the first experiment, some data indicators of paper airplanes and kites were recorded, and even special emphasis was placed on the moment the paper airplane flew out, as well as the effect of buoyancy when the kite was moving forward quickly. This calculation is quite boring, in which, every experiment, is very subtle, and if it were an experimental method before the 20th century, it would not be possible to get something useful from the middle.
Among them, the biggest error is actually in the power of the wind, in the consideration of the power itself, as well as the buoyancy brought by the speed of the wind, in the past experience, there are some child's play-like things, but it contains a very profound truth, every move in daily life, even the simplest game, which contains a high truth, not to mention, the new field of aerodynamics.
Compared with the air, relying on speed to obtain buoyancy, and short flight in the air, such things, can be used as the object of research, although the current research, are relatively light, but in the future, there must be more practical.
Zhao Xin's point of mention is very critical, although Zhao Xin does not have similar knowledge of aerodynamics, but in the era of later consultation, Zhao Xin is very clear that the larger the wing, and the faster the speed, the greater the buoyancy.
This formula, which cannot represent all of them, puts forward two important aspects, and the work of researchers is to find some inevitability in these accidents, and to find the constants in this formula to form a formula.
Zhao Xin has heard of this formula and knows that it is an important formula for the aircraft to float, but Zhao Xin, who has never studied aerodynamics and even does not know anything in this field, cannot clearly describe the complete process of this formula, and can only be handed over to researchers for study.
Zhao Xin has made enough points, and even for the design pattern and calculation formula method, also made a series of tips, under such prompts, to find out this formula, is only a matter of time, once this formula is found, then the aircraft project, is not a blind man groping slowly, but according to a certain scientific theory, and then to the scientific theory, fill in a variety of things, in order to ensure the realization of a process.
In such guidance and accurate experiments, Dingjun has an understanding of the basic form of the airplane, if it is a paper airplane, even at a high place, a little force, can make the paper airplane fly smoothly for a long time, and even a little wind, can make the buoyancy enough to support the paper airplane for a longer time.
However, if it is an airplane, even if it is a small plane, it has hundreds of kilograms, and in order to form enough buoyancy, the wingspan and the area of the aircraft itself are no longer enough to support it to fly, and sufficient speed is the key.
With the basic point of this formula, coupled with a variety of designs, a variety of experiments in different aspects, detailed data are obtained, these data are arranged and combined one by one, looking for the law from the middle, when the data is more and more, to find this law, it is just a matter of calculation and a little luck.
The area of the aircraft, as well as the formula of speed, under the combination of countless data, in the continuous exploration, has been made, brought into a lot of aerodynamic research, is also very correct, after a long time of research, after finding out this basic formula, the aircraft made is just a realization of the relationship.
On the premise of roughly estimating the weight of the aircraft, including a set of power, wings, fuselage, and the weight of at least one person, assuming that the weight of the aircraft is about 700 kilograms, and the wing has three or four fixed values, and then the speed is calculated, and the formula is brought in, and this result is very simple.
At this speed, the lowest is also around 160 km/h, and the fastest will even reach 250 km/h. This is an unimaginable speed, you know, the fastest in the Dinghai is the train, the fastest speed of the steam locomotive is 180 kilometers per hour, although that is on the railway, under the premise of pulling a large number of goods.
If there is only one locomotive, on the railway, will this speed be faster, this question, really no one thinks, the reason is very simple, because on land, there is no need for such a high speed, the same, now the navy for speed, for braking technology, if the premise of reaching such a high speed, it is a little difficult to control the intensity.
So, now, is it possible to achieve such a speed under the premise that such a speed is required?
As early as when the formula did not appear, when designing the aircraft, some people also proposed to install the steam engine on the aircraft, which was directly vetoed by Zhao Xin at that time, Zhao Xin knew very well that the steam engine could not be installed on the aircraft, but the formula did not come out, what Zhao Xin could do was to put this aspect aside first, concentrate on it first, and find out this general formula.
Now that the general formula has been figured out, the weight of the steam engine and the basic settings above are brought into this formula, and a result is finally obtained.
At the time of setting, there was some expectation, but after the results came out, the result was too big, it turned out that it was impossible, because the weight of the steam engine was too heavy, to provide enough power of the steam engine, the minimum weight was more than 1 ton, and the operation of the steam engine, you need to add coal and water, the weight of pure coal and water, is an astronomical number, this number may not mean that it is completely impossible, but the possibility is very low.
That is to say, according to the formula, if the steam engine is installed, if all the conditions are met, the initial speed of the aircraft may reach 900 kilometers per hour, or even higher.
Even in the 21st century, the speed of land vehicles rarely exceeds 600, even if it exceeds 600, it is equipped with rocket engines, and in the current state, even the internal combustion engine and electric locomotive are not made under the premise that the rocket engine is almost impossible.
For the steam engine, this is an impossible speed, even if the weight is reduced to a minimum, it is impossible to achieve such a speed, and even in some cases, if the steam engine excretes a large amount of gas, there is a problem for the flight safety of the entire aircraft.
This is almost impossible to complete, and the data substitution into it cannot be solved, and some pragmatic scientists have even begun to put forward whether it is impossible to achieve an airplane, and the current thrust-to-weight ratio of the steam engine is too extreme.
As early as the beginning of the design of the aircraft, Zhao Xin proposed another power facility, which is not a method of burning coal and heating water to bring steam, but a method of working by burning liquid oil with high combustion value, pistons and power units driven by hot air.
After all, the steam engine is two processes, coal burning, and then pushing water to work, but the internal combustion engine, directly reduces one step, directly hot air work, at the same time, the combustion value of fuel oil is higher than coal, and its own weight is lighter.
Even if this power is the same, without considering the loss, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the workmanship of this internal combustion engine must be at least two or three times less than that of the steam engine, so it is possible.
At the speed of 800 kilometers per hour, unless the power of the steam engine is increased to a very terrible level, it can reach this theoretical figure, but when the internal combustion engine is used, the theoretical speed is reduced by three times, or even four times, and the difficulty of achieving it is reduced a lot.
This is possible, after all, 600, 800 or even higher, this speed is very difficult to achieve, but if you put it at 200, 150, or even lower, it is not so difficult to achieve this speed.
Now, after turning around, the question is back to square one, that is, whether they have to have an internal combustion engine, or after improvement, the weight is greatly reduced, and the performance will not be greatly reduced, there is the possibility of installing an aircraft.
Is it possible, the research institute of this aircraft, by the way, to establish an internal combustion engine project, there are similar things, for example, in the ship project, it was incorporated into some special research, but when this plan method was reported, it was rejected, the high-level of the science and technology commission, return to them, the internal combustion engine project is already underway, and it is very likely to be completed in the near future, they can do the design with peace of mind, wait for the internal combustion engine to appear, have the basic data, and then according to this data, design a practical aircraft, before that, then it's good to accumulate experience.
