Chapter 681 Shocking ultra-low-altitude supersonic speed
At a time when dozens of airlines placed reservations for a total of 300 future hypersonic passenger aircraft, tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world also entered the air show site.
At the air show site, hundreds of different aircraft were on display, which greatly broadened the horizons of all visitors.
At the event of the air show, the highly anticipated first performance is also about to begin.
On the two runways inside the air show, nine aircraft have been prepared, attracting a lot of attention.
These nine planes are painted in a very recognizable livery with bright colors that can be spotted from afar.
And the most exciting thing for tourists is that these nine aircraft are all standard fifth-generation aircraft of Future Technology Group.
For this fifth-generation machine, the people present are no strangers, and at this moment, seeing the paint on these fifth-generation machines, they are all excited.
This is to be a flight show, and the flight show is carried out with a fifth-generation aircraft, which is definitely the first in the world.
The air show is nothing new for those who regularly attend air shows, but it is the first in the world to perform a flight performance with a fifth-generation aircraft.
Normally speaking, the aircraft used by the air show teams of various countries, whether official or non-governmental, are the most mature types of aircraft, and the advanced speed is secondary, and the aircraft required is precise control and stability.
It takes a lot of courage and self-confidence to perform a flight show with a fifth-generation aircraft that has just been launched, and once there is any accident or accident, the sales of fifth-generation aircraft will be in trouble.
However, it is clear that Future Technology Group has no such concerns, and on the runway, when the nine standard fifth-generation aircraft are preparing to take off, the horn of the air show announces the imminent start of the air show.
The on-site tourists, maintained by the on-site staff, came to the audience area one after another.
At the take-off point, nine performance fifth-generation aircraft, undergoing the final test before takeoff, can be seen with twin vertical tails and double balanced tails, which are constantly moving, and various moving parts on the wings, as well as the speed brake at the rear of the cockpit, are also open.
The fifth-generation aircraft with a twin-engine configuration is standard, and the appearance has some similarities with the American F-22, but there are also obvious differences.
It doesn't matter what it looks like to all the viewers at the scene, and the live footage that has been prepared, what matters is that you look forward to the next performance.
When the audience arrived one after another, the nine standard fifth-generation aircraft on the take-off runway all stopped checking the moving parts, the speed brake was lowered, and the tail vents of the planes spewed out light blue flames.
The sound of cheers even drowned out the whistling of fighter engines.
The standard fifth-generation aircraft of the nine air shows took off in a rhythmic sequence.
Today's sky is perfect for watching the air show, and the slightly overcast sky is covered by high clouds that block the sun, allowing everyone in the scene to look up at the sky without fear.
In anticipation, nine fighter jets formed a compact prismatic formation in the sky, and they were already whizzing over the spectator area at ultra-low altitudes.
In front of the audience area, there is a long artificial river, and on the opposite bank is a man-made wetland, the scenery is quite pleasant, and the area of the air show is on the edge of this artificial river.
Tens of thousands of tourists gather on the banks of the artificial river, leaning against the high embankment, looking up at the sky.
After the first formation flight, nine standard fifth-generation aircraft in the sky were rapidly changing formations, and at this time, the horn at the air show site sounded again: "Please all tourists, bring the earphones issued, please all tourists, bring the earphones issued......"
The notifications sounded again and again, so that all the visitors on the scene consciously brought the headphones distributed by the group when they entered the audience area.
Tourists with headphones noticed that the sound of the outside world had dropped to a very low level, and at this time, the performance planes in the sky, one by one, formed a long formation, tumbling and swooping down towards the artificial river.
In the process of diving, the plane in the air appeared more and more clearly in the eyes of everyone on the scene, and when the first plane seemed to hit the height of the ground, everyone at the scene couldn't help but exclaim, the first plane suddenly flattened the fuselage angle, and the fuselage remained parallel to the plane at a height of less than ten meters from the river surface, and the height was once again reduced to a height of only one or two meters from the plane.
Some viewers are already aware of what they will see next, poking their heads in anticipation.
And the rest of the audience are also curious, this is the time to do something.
The first plane, which was less than two meters close to the river, suddenly accelerated, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, a sonic boom cloud was generated in the air behind the plane, and the plane, which originally seemed to be slow, suddenly accelerated to break through the speed of sound, and the whole process seemed to be just a moment.
The huge detonation spread, watching the plane pass in front of you at a high speed that is almost difficult to catch with the naked eye, even with headphones, you can clearly hear the huge sonic boom, as well as the terrifying air current, rolling up the high column of water, the scene is shocking.
The standard fifth-generation aircraft, which entered the supersonic speed close to the surface, instantly swept over the artificial river more than 1,000 meters long, and the water column rolled up on the surface splashed high, as if the entire surface had been cut.
Moreover, the other eight standard fifth-generation aircraft of the air show also followed, and they performed in front of everyone what is called an ultra-high and low altitude breakthrough sound barrier, coupled with the humid environment close to the surface, the sonic boom cloud clearly visible to the naked eye every time the sound barrier is broken, which is breathtaking.
No one cares about the clothes that are splashed by the rolled up wall of water because they are close to the river.
Because this picture is so shocking, the beauty of the moment the plane enters supersonic speed, and then when it flies by in an instant, the water wall that is pulled up on the artificial river is full of ornamentation.
When everyone recovered from the shock, the nine standard fifth-generation aircraft in the sky were already in the sky, forming a flight formation again.
Everyone hadn't recovered from the scene just now, and there was a notice in their ears that they could take off their headphones.
In the flight show just now, if you don't wear headphones, when the plane breaks through the sound barrier, it is not a simple viewing seat, but the extreme destruction of everyone's eardrums, under the violent close-range sonic boom, no one on the scene will still be able to stand up, and it is even possible that the ears are deaf and become deaf.
