Chapter 235: Flight Test of Wind and Thunder (3)
The flight test aircraft slowly climbed to more than 3,000 meters, at this time at the maximum power of the engine, the flight speed was only 300 kilometers per hour, 30 kilometers per hour slower than when it was not modified, this is due to the modification of the rear fuselage caused by the increase in drag, as well as the increase in the weight of the aircraft.
With the accurate operation of the crew, the wind and thunder jet engine behind the fuselage was finally successfully started, and it could be seen from the ground from afar that the tail of the aircraft began to spew out a stream of heat, with black smoke, which was produced by incomplete combustion.
After the wind and thunder jet engine started, the whole plane was slammed forward, although it just started, it only produced a small amount of thrust, but it still made the speed of the plane exceed 300 kilometers per hour at once, and the vibration of the fuselage began to increase! The plane also began to become unstable, and Xiao Weiguo hurriedly instructed the crew pilot to carry out a series of operations, and slowly stabilized the aircraft.
As the thrust of the Thunder Jet engine increased, the speed of the aircraft began to increase, and finally when the thrust of the Thunder Jet engine reached 1000 kg, the power of the two BMW piston engines was reduced to 200 horsepower, and the speed of the aircraft also reached 500 kilometers per hour, which is a gratifying result! Not only did the Thunderbolt engine start up successfully in the first air test, but it also performed well without any stops or failures in the air! It happily absorbed the kerosene in the tank, and in less than half an hour, it consumed 500 liters of kerosene! The jet engine is really an oil tiger! The people on the plane, except for Xiao Wei, were extremely shocked!
At this time, the first flight test came to an end, and the crew began to fly the somewhat strange-looking plane to return home.
The M30 transport aircraft flight test platform test, the huge roar produced by the wind and thunder engine. It even attracted a lot of local residents to come out and watch, they had never heard such a loud roar of an airplane, and when they looked up at the sky, they found that it was a Messerschmitt factory plane, and this plane was different from what they had seen before, and its appearance was really strange. The test flight even allowed hundreds of spectators to witness its entire testing process.
The Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium has developed the M30 transport aircraft flight test platform, which is no less significant than the design and manufacture of a new type of aircraft. With such a flight test platform, it is possible to solve the problem of many prototypes directly installing new engines for testing. In the history of aviation, the jet engines of Britain and Germany have been engaged in for many years, but they have not been officially put into mass production, and many planes have been dropped during the test flight, which has even led some senior officials to have doubts about this revolutionary aviation power, but the flight test platform of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry has been very successful, and even after the design and manufacture of the M40 large transport aircraft in the next step. In the future, the flight test platform will be modified with the M40 large transport aircraft as the carrier aircraft, after all, the size of the M30 transport aircraft is still smaller, and the design flight speed is also slower.
The flight test bench test is generally modified from a heavy aircraft, all the equipment that is unnecessary for the flight test is removed, the necessary instruments are installed, and the engine under test is installed under the fuselage or in the engine nacelle. The working conditions for its use are close to the actual conditions of use. Such a universal flight test platform can test a number of different types of engines, and the modification and preparation period for engine tests is short. In addition, large aircraft have a large interior space. Therefore, the modification space is large and the flight test time is long, and the modification of the M30 transport aircraft has increased its weight by 2,500 kilograms, exceeding the design maximum take-off weight, and the take-off weight has reached 7,000 kilograms. And it has stood the test.
The M30 flight test platform flew back like a big bat, its attitude was quite steady, and its speed was reduced to more than 100 kilometers per hour, and as the main wheel rubbed against the ground, a puff of green smoke rose. It landed, and after taxiing on the runway for more than seven hundred meters, it finally came to a smooth stop! This marks the first successful test of the Thunder jet engine on the flight platform!
The anticipating engineers and everyone at the airport couldn't help but shed tears of excitement when they saw the plane stop, some threw their hats high, some hugged each other to celebrate, and suddenly someone shouted, and everyone ran to the test machine!
The door of the plane opened, Xiao Weiguo appeared at the door first, he waved to the people, and then slowly got off the plane, and the other test personnel also followed him off the plane, the excitement on their faces was naturally difficult to hide, and the mission could be said to be completed quite beautifully.
Messerschmidt walked to the flight test platform, and everyone got out of the way and let him walk through. In front of the 7 crew members who participated in the test, Messerschmidt was also so excited that he burst into tears, and everyone was so excited! The success of this first flight represents that the development of the Thunder jet engine has entered a new stage, and it is also a key link before the finalized test flight. A year later, the flight conference will depend on the performance of the M29 and the Wind Thunder jet engine.
Messerschmitt happily exclaimed: "Guys, today our Thunder jet engine is finally in the sky!" It's not easy! Nearly a year of hard work has not been in vain, everyone's efforts have finally seen the initial results, the first air test of the wind thunder jet engine was successful, representing our wind and thunder series engine development has taken a big step! This is also a great step forward in the history of the world's aviation industry! In the future, we will continue to test the wind and thunder turboprop engine, which is the most cutting-edge technology of our Dragon Soul Ordnance, do you have confidence? ”
Dozens of people present shouted, they were indeed indescribably excited, and they could only use their shouts to express their inner excitement, excitement and pride! They are proud to be a member of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry, and proud to be a member of the Wind Thunder series engine development team! The emergence of the Wind and Thunder series engines will change the future of the world's aviation industry, as well as the future of the world's aviation industry and the Air Force! It won't be long before jet fighters, jet bombers, large turboprops, and even supersonic aircraft will appear in the world much earlier than in history! (To be continued.) )
