Chapter 364: Test Pilot
in the pergola.
Everyone stood up in shock. Dumbfounded, he looked at the Swordfish as furious as a beast about to be released.
Xun Shifei was surprised: "This ...... What a motivating motivator. 、”
"yes. This motivation is a little too surging. Dust was rolled up on the ground. ”
"You see, it's like it's going to break the rope, what a powerful power it must be."
"It should be much faster than an airship, right?"
"That's for sure. The airship uses a four-stroke engine. And this, I heard is the latest technology of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, called the star-shaped repeated engine. ”
"Is this engine that powerful?"
"It's a lot more powerful than a four-stroke engine. The sound alone gives a sense of shock. ”|
"Can it even take off straight up?"
“……”
The surging power of the star engine shocked everyone in the field.
They also roughly understood the principle of these flying machines, but they did not expect that the power in them would be so powerful. The power source is not on the ground, it just pushes the air to create the wind, and this reaction force is so strong.
Wouldn't it be even more rebellious if such an engine were to be installed in a car?
Actually, they were wrong about that.
Compared to the four-stroke, the star engine actually does not have much advantage in terms of power. The biggest advantage is simply that the torque is very high.
Ideal for marine propellers, as well as space propellers. And not suitable for cars on land.
Again, compared to the four-stroke, the star engine is more fuel-guzzling. And it's louder.
Running on land, that's a noise maker. If you drive such a car in Laoshan County, the whole city will have to scold your mother.
It is also currently only suitable for aerospace use. Theoretically, it can be regarded as the first generation of aero engines.
Of course. In fact, if conditions allow, four-stroke engines and even two-stroke engines can be used in aerospace. Both can be used as aircraft engines.
However, at the current level of industrial technology. Four-stroke and two-stroke engines, it's too easy to stall.
Nowadays, there is such a common problem in cars, sometimes the engine stalls for various reasons and needs to be restarted. Fortunately, it is now an electric fire, not a crank-type compression ignition, so everyone can accept it.
However, if it is used in aerospace, this instability will have a high probability of causing an air crash. If the engine stops in the air, it will be a dead death for the aircraft and the pilot.
Even if the fuel consumption is higher, there is no obvious advantage in power. A more stable engine is still used. After so many tests, there has not even been a phenomenon of the star engine stalling in the mobile yard.
Liu Jinghong put on a flight helmet, a leather armor, and a windproof goggle.
Really handsome.
That heroic appearance made everyone yearn for the blue sky and become a pilot.
Liu Jinghong wanted to test fly in person. But everyone spoke up and stopped him from doing so.
Including Xun Shifei also said: "That's not good." You are a national treasure in New Kyushu, what should you do if you have an accident? The Eastern Military District has specialized pilots, professional test pilots. Why would you risk it yourself? Don't look at you as an airplane, but you really don't have as much flying experience as anyone else. ”
Xun Shifei said that the head is the Tao. Coupled with the fact that many people were dissuading, Liu Jinghong could only retreat in embarrassment. secretly said in his heart that his pilot's outfit today was in vain, and the thief was embarrassed.
"Report."
"The power system is stable and safe, and the power system can be tested for flight."
"The landing and taker system is stable and safe, and the landing and landing system can be tested for flight."
"Report, control system is stable, safe, control system can be tested flight."
"The dashboards are all stable, safe and ready for test flight."
"Report, the take-off runway road is stable, safe, and ready for test flight."
“……”
The personnel of the Aviation Institute underwent professional and rigorous testing and issued a final report.
At this moment, three young men strode out from a military contingent around the pergola. The three youths were all about 1.6 meters tall, each of them wearing a flight helmet, a windproof goggle, a ventilator, a windproof leather armor and leather gloves, and each carrying a parachute bag behind them.
Walking to the pergola, the three of them saluted in unison, and the captain stepped forward and shouted:
"The three armies of the new Kyushu, the formation of the flight army of the Eastern Military Region, and the 001 flight regiment came to report. There should be three people, but there are three people, and the captain Fang Aerospace. Please instruct. ”
Everyone in the pergola stood up and saluted back.
Liu Jinghong took a step forward: "I am Liu Jinghong, president of the Aviation Research Institute of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, to develop a new type of aircraft, and one person is needed to complete the test flight work. Captain Fang, please select one person from your department. ”
Fang Hongtian took a step forward: "I'll come!" ”
Liu Jinghong nodded, called him into the pergola, and began to explain to him the principle of the Swordfish. as well as a variety of operating systems.
Fang Aerospace listened carefully and knew it in his heart.
This can be said to be one of the oldest people in the world's first pilots. During the parade, he drove the airship in a circle.
From airships, to hot air balloons, to unpowered paragliding, powered paragliding. He is proficient in any flying machine that exists in New Kyushu.
For aerospace, he is not slacking off at all in his hard work. Like many people, he loves the blue sky.
This time a new type of aircraft appeared, with a completely different operating concept, completely different functions. He had no fear or apprehension, only ecstasy and excitement.
I will be the first person in the world to try a new type of flying machine, how can I not like it?
Liu Jinghong said seriously: "The operating system and the airship are the same. The control stick of the left hand, pushing up and down, is the control upward. The control lever of the right hand pushes left and right, and is responsible for steering left and right. It's the throttle at your feet, and I don't need to say that you know. This instrument panel is the code rate, and only when the code rate reaches a speed of one hour and eighty kilometers per hour, the aircraft can take off. If the speed does not reach eighty, do not rush to take off. ”
Fang Hongtian listened carefully, then climbed into the plane, turned off the fire, and conducted practical operation experiments.
The control system is no stranger, similar to that of an airship. It's all the joystick to control the direction, and the pedal under your foot to press the accelerator.
The difference is that the airship goes straight up and down, while this one needs to be run and take off. When you land, you also have to glide and land.
The control system is general and airship. The take-off mode is the same as that of a powered paraglider.
Fang Hongtian did not feel unfamiliar and difficult, on the contrary, he was very familiar with these operations. Even if he's never tried it, he's familiar with it. It's a feeling. A kind of self-confidence that has flown for more than a thousand hours and conquered the blue sky for too long.
