Chapter 461: Crazy Test Flight
The news that the Star Aircraft Manufacturing Company was going to conduct its first test flight of the 808 long-haul passenger plane next week immediately spread out.
Many people are not very skeptical about this passenger aircraft, after all, the technology of the Xingchen super transport aircraft-T1 in front of it is there. In the eyes of outsiders, this time Xingchen Aircraft Manufacturing Company must have enough confidence and confidence to launch the passenger aircraft series so quickly!
However, whether it can obtain the airworthiness certificate certified by one of the two major international institutions is two things.
After all, there are many aircraft manufacturing companies in the world that have produced many excellent passenger aircraft, but none of them have obtained this international airworthiness certificate. That's because the U.S. imperialist aviation management ju and the European aviation management ju belong to the existence of monopolies.
Most of their own planes have been given to them, and as for other people's, hehe, excuse me? Unless you can come up with the chips that make them tickle. Either that, you can threaten their existence!
Many people are not optimistic that Xingchen Aircraft Manufacturing Company can get an international airworthiness certificate for their passenger aircraft.
A week later, the base airfield of the Star Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
At this time, there are only two planes placed on the empty airport, one is the Xingchen super transport plane that many people are familiar with, and the other is also a giant, that is, the Xingchen 808 long-distance passenger plane!
"Is this the Xingchen 808 long-haul airliner? ”
"It is said to be able to carry 1,500 people, and it is terrifying......"
"The world's largest airplane! The first time I saw it, I just didn't know if I could fly. ”
"I heard that this time it is not the electric power system of the transport aircraft, it is still the traditional fuel power system. ”
"This Star Foundation is really mysterious, and it has produced a lot of high-tech products. ”
"yes, for example, the alloy optimization fluid, and the previous arc ark reactor...... To the advanced transport and passenger planes of the present!"
"It's even more powerful than its subsidiary, Xingchen Group. ”
In the eyes of many people, the Xingchen Foundation's single arc ark reactor can be more awesome than any technological product of the Xingchen Group. This is an epoch-making technological crystallization.
Today, the scene is still full of guests.
There are many people from all walks of life, as well as many media. The most important thing is that the staff of the management of American Imperial Aviation came to JU. Of course, this group of staff members came here to evaluate and inspect this test flight.
After all, at present, the Xingchen 808 passenger aircraft has applied to them for the test and review of the airworthiness certificate.
"Wow, aren't the dozen or so people over there the staff of the U.S. Imperial Aviation Management JU? Could it be that the Xingchen 808 passenger plane is applying for an airworthiness certificate now?"
"It should be!"
"Hehe, if the 808 airliner doesn't perform well today, it is estimated that it will be disqualified directly, right?"
"Quite possibly! The first test flight is important. ”
On the stage, Qin Hailang appeared on the stage.
"Good morning, gentlemen, ladies and friends, friends from the media. I am Qin Hailang, chairman of Xingchen Group. It is a great pleasure for you to be here for the first test flight of our Xingchen 808 long-haul airliner! Our airliner will be tested in half an hour. When the time comes, I will also register to experience it for myself!" Qin Hailang smiled.
"Shhh...... Is this big boss going to die to the end? Is he really not afraid of death? The same was true of the first flight of the last Xingchen transport plane. ”
"My boss Qin is amazing, he is really courageous!"
"Isn't he afraid of an accident with the plane?"
"He's the world's richest man. ”
Even those staff members of the US Imperial Aviation Management Ju were a little shocked when they saw that Qin Hailang wanted to experience the test flight in person.
Although they come here to do the test and review work, they will not board it for the first time. Just put some instruments and equipment in the plane to see how it goes. At the same time, after the plane lands, they will send professional personnel to check whether there is any problem with the plane.
They will record any problems as soon as they arise. Because any passenger aircraft to apply for an international airworthiness certificate, it is not ten days and half a month of testing.
Generally, about 1,600 hours of flight testing are required. The test time is generally maintained for 1~2 years, or even longer.
Because you can't test your plane 24 hours a day, right?
After your plane has been tested a few times, if something goes wrong, you need to repair and improve it, etc. Or even rebuilt.
Of course, the kind of reinvention is almost ineligible to be passed.
But even if it's a small problem, you have to do it for a while before you can continue to fly test.
Anyway, applying for an international airworthiness certificate is a very complicated, troublesome, and difficult matter.
In the end, after a long test flight, you were directly denied by others, and all the previous efforts and investments were equivalent to doing all the work in vain.
Half an hour later, the 808 airliner was finally about to take flight!
Qin Hailang boarded the plane, and Liu Sisi was still accompanied.
This aircraft still does not need a runway, as it is in vertical take-off mode.
All eight thrusters begin to turn downward.
When everything was ready, the thrusters began to spew out powerful blue air currents.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
After a few seconds, the plane began to slowly rise upwards.
"Off the ground, off the ground!"
"Damn, that's okay. ”
"It doesn't feel like a big deal. ”
"10 meters off the ground!"
"It's 20 meters! The wheels are already folded. ”
In the following process, the test flight was very stable.
After a total of one hour of test flight, it landed.
After landing, the staff of the American Imperial Aviation Management JU went up to the plane to check, and then checked the data of the instrument, and at the same time sent someone to check whether there was any problem with the plane......
And the guests were scattered.
When the staff finished checking, one of the people in charge called Ms. Sakela walked in front of Qin Hailang: "Mr. Qin, when is your next test flight?" It's best to leave the test flight schedule to us in a month's time, so that we can work. ”
They came to help Qin Hailang test flight audit test, and they were paid. So Qin Hailang needs to pay. Otherwise, where would they be so positive?
"That's right, I plan to start tomorrow and test every day for the next two months! Strive to fly 1,300 hours in three months!" Qin Hailang smiled.
"What? You want to finish the test in three months? Well, it's possible. If you don't stop every day for three months, you need to fly for more than ten hours every day. You don't need to overhaul the plane, you don't need to rest, and it's easy to have problems with such an airplane. Sakela looked at Qin Hailang like an idiot. The general test takes 2~3 years, or even longer. Do you want to finish the test in a few months?
