Chapter 6 Test flight of drones
Tang Rui turned on the computer.
Plug the data cable into the motherboard interface of the avionics system and import the avionics system.
Less than ten minutes.
The entire avionics system is introduced.
This avionics system has very high operational requirements.
After all, this is not a simple model airplane.
Rather, it's a real unmanned aerial system.
Although it is a relatively rudimentary UAV system, it has everything it should have.
He opened the interface of the operating system on the computer and tested the drone through the keyboard.
No problem with the optoelectronic system.
There are two strengthened cameras, one is above the original cockpit, which belongs to the flight control camera, and the other is below the nose, which is mainly for reconnaissance and photography, so this lens can be zoomed at high magnification and rotated 180°.
There are no problems with the radar, and the progress and power have been greatly improved.
The flight control system is more sensitive, and high-precision gyroscopes and sensors have been added after enhancement, which can monitor the flight attitude in real time.
"It's just that this operation is a bit cumbersome."
There is nothing wrong with the system, but the operation is too cumbersome.
A slap on the thigh.
How did he forget the rocker.
A case was taken out of the room, which contained Logitech's flight stick.
This set of flight sticks and rudders cost him more than 2,000.
Connect the number of data cables.
Push the joystick.
Well.
No response.
It's normal because the system isn't compatible.
He understands how to make the system compatible, in terms of programming theory, but let him write code, he definitely can't write it.
But it doesn't matter.
Who let him have a plug-in?
"Add points."
Tang Rui finally chose to use the source point to strengthen the avionics system (software).
Consumed 1 source point.
The whole system has changed.
The avionics system graphics, which originally didn't have any UI experience, became very sci-fi.
All kinds of function bars and sub-pages have become simple and perfect, and all data are displayed on the computer screen.
Tang Rui held the joystick in his hand and stepped on the rudder, and the drone immediately gave feedback.
The aerodynamic rudder surfaces of the wing, tail and vertical tail all respond at the same time, which is very silky.
Look at the last 2 point source points on the system panel.
He's not going to keep it either.
Boost the engine directly.
As a result, the engine was strengthened, which cost only 1 source point, which was much cheaper than the avionics system.
The last remaining 1 source point is added to the energy system.
With the overall enhancement of the drone, it is completed.
In the experience point column on the system interface, the display of non-upgradeable points has finally disappeared.
[Item: Exquisite fixed-wing drone +3]
[Experience: 163/12000]
[Enhancement: Airframe, Avionics, Engine, Energy]
[Source point: 0]
After the overall enhancement, the experience of leveling up also skyrocketed.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as you can still upgrade, that's all right.
Tang Rui grabbed the drone and prepared to carry it downstairs.
As a result, I didn't pick it up, and I almost flashed my waist.
"Is it so heavy?"
He weighed his hands for a moment.
The whole drone is at least more than 40 kilograms, almost 100 kilograms smaller.
Just his physique.
It takes a lot of effort to carry fifty pounds of rice, let alone a drone of nearly a hundred pounds.
This Nima ......
Tang Rui gritted his teeth, held his waist, and looked at the drone on the workbench a little speechless.
Pondered for a while.
He pulled the trolley case out of the room.
First put the computer, joystick, rudder, signal antenna, spare battery and other things in, and then put the drone on the trolley box.
He just dragged the trolley out of the house.
Good thing it's an elevator room.
If he didn't have an elevator, he would have hired someone to help.
Come to the B1 parking lot.
Tang Rui dragged the trolley case to the back of a dilapidated Haval H6 and opened the trunk.
This car is a second-hand car he bought, and the original owner has run more than 100,000 kilometers.
But he didn't care.
Anyway, it's a means of transportation, so you can drive it.
Stuffing the drone and the trolley box into it, he drove out of the community.
At this time, the square had long been occupied by the aunt and uncle who had finished eating.
So if he wants to test the drone, he has to find somewhere else.
Cuckoo......
As soon as he drove out of the community, his stomach protested.
Didn't eat at noon.
The little thing I ate in the morning was already digested.
I've been busy before.
It's very focused, so I haven't felt it yet.
Now as soon as I drive, I feel like my stomach is empty, and my chest is pressed against my back when I am hungry.
But at the moment he was not in the mood to eat at all.
So I found a steamed bun shop on the side of the road and bought a few buns at random.
Pad it, paddle it.
Just don't be hungry.
Tang Rui drove the car to Laoshan Forest Park.
He did not go inside the park.
Instead, drive straight into the mountains along the winding trail of the forest park.
By the way, at the gas station at the mountain pass, I bought a barrel of 40 liters of diesel.
Tang Rui drove along the winding mountain road for more than ten minutes and came to a viewing platform.
This observation deck is built halfway up a small hill and has a good view of the half of the forest below.
At this time, there was no one on the observation deck.
Who would run into the mountains at night.
There's something wrong.
But there are ready-made seats and open platforms here, which are perfect for him to test the drone.
Tang Rui pulled over and parked the car, but did not turn off the engine or turn off the lights.
After all, there are only two dim solar lanterns, and it is pitch black.
If you don't turn on the lights, you'll be a little panicked.
Just when Tang Rui debugged the equipment and filled up the drone to prepare for the test, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky.
"It's raining?"
took out his mobile phone and turned on the weather forecast, and it really rained tonight, which he didn't pay attention to before.
But it doesn't matter.
UAVs are not model airplanes, and they are not afraid of rain at all.
Tang Rui placed the drone and hid in the observation deck, where there is a canopy, so you don't have to worry about the rain.
He sits in front of the computer with his left hand on the accelerator, his right hand on the joystick, and his feet next to the rudder.
The avionics system is activated.
Engine starts.
Release the brakes.
Push the throttle valve.
Rumble!
Two blue tail flames erupted from the drone's engine vent.
If you look closely, you can see the Mach ring in the tail flame.
The powerful engine thrust directly made the drone go out.
Tang Rui hurriedly pulled up the joystick and pulled up the nose.
Sou......
The drone took off directly at a large elevation angle and rushed straight into the sky.
"The engine of the system is strengthened, and this thrust is too strong."
He was taken aback just now.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have pulled up the lever directly.
If he hesitates, the drone will rush out of the viewing platform and plunge headlong into the forest.
With this thrust, if he adds a bracket to the drone, he can completely make the drone take off vertically like a rocket.
Again, that's the same sentence.
As long as the thrust is large enough, moving bricks can also fly into the sky.
Tang Rui controls the drone, maintains it at an altitude of 200 meters, and flies in the air.
It's not that the drone doesn't fly high, it's that he doesn't dare to fly too high.
At an altitude of 200 meters, still in the mountains, the radar cannot scan at all.
He activated the map scanning function of the drone to generate a 3D simulation map of the surface in real time.
Looking at the three-dimensional simulation map on the computer screen, he controlled the drone and began to shuttle between the mountains and valleys.
It doesn't feel too good.
Occasionally make a few maneuvers, or push the throttle valve to experience the thrill of speeding fast.
Before you know it, the drone has flown 20 kilometers away.
Whoa......
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
Tang Rui thought about it, and directly turned off the low-light camera and turned on the infrared thermal imaging.
Just after the infrared thermal imaging system was turned on, a bunch of humanoid red dots suddenly appeared on the screen.
Well?
What's going on?
On a rainy day, or in the deep mountains and old forests, what are these people doing?
