Chapter 207: The Ground Effect of Flying Close to the Ground
Yesterday, after Xiao Ning decided to start the challenge directly the next day.
After some deliberations, the Mira Hill project team finalized the start time of the challenge at 7 o'clock in the morning.
At this time, although there were still more than two hours before the challenge began, everyone was busy.
Various camera positions inside and outside the tunnel, debugging of overhead drones, preparation of runway lighting for aerobatic aircraft taking off outside the tunnel......
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the staff of the Mira Hill project team are on site at this time, they have something to do.
The staff is busy, but Xiao Ning, who is about to take on the challenge, is very idle.
To be precise, Xiao Ning and Qian Zhen are very idle.
Yes, this time in the challenge of Mira Mountain, Qian Zhen came again.
However, it may be because he has been trained enough in the plateau environment in Zheduo Mountain before, and after coming to Mira Mountain, which is also terrifying in altitude this time, Qian Zhen did not have too obvious altitude sickness.
At this moment, it is located two hundred meters in the direction of the entrance to the Mira Mountain Tunnel.
At a few staff members a little farther away, Qian Zhen took a bucket of instant noodles, and then walked quickly to Xiao Ning, who was more than ten meters away, and said with a smile while handing the instant noodles to the other party: "Chicken soup is coming!" ”
Xiao Ning took the instant noodles and looked at Qian Zhen suspiciously: "Senior Brother Qian, how do you know that I like to eat the instant noodle flavor of stewed chicken noodles with mushrooms." ”
Qian Zhen said casually: "A while ago, I accompanied Liu Weiwei to have a meal of instant noodles in your studio office, and she told me unintentionally. ”
Xiao Ning nodded, and then asked as he moved, "Don't you eat?" ”
Qian Zhen shook his head: "I'm afraid that watching Ling's performance will make me vomit later, so I'll just eat this." ”
After Qian Zhen finished speaking, he took out a portable oxygen cylinder in his hand and took a sip in front of Xiao Ning.
"Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't have any high-reaction this time? Still sucking? ”
"Just in case......"
Xiao Ning chatted with Qian Zhen while eating.
When the bucket of instant noodles for breakfast was almost finished, several staff members from the Mira Hill project team walked over.
In the following minutes, the staff began to assist Xiao Ning in putting on the full body protective gear.
After a staff member installed a camera on the Red Bull helmet worn by Xiao Ning, all protective gear was put on.
"Ning Shen, the live broadcast will start in about five minutes, and then you can say hello to the audience and chat for a while, I just asked, the section of the 'runway' used for the plane to take off is not completely ready."
A staff member left after saying this, and then Xiao Ning's shoulder was patted by Qian Zhen on the side.
"Senior Brother Xiao, I suddenly have something I want to ask now."
"You ask."
"You said they gave you a full armament and this kind of protective suit and this kind of helmet, can it really be useful?"
Seeing Qian Zhen staring at his outfit, Xiao Ning thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "If you mean that these things can keep me safe after the challenge starts, I think it should be useless." ”
"Then why do they want to get you such a bunch of clothes on your body, unsinkable?"
"Didn't you notice that the pants and helmet were covered with the Red Bull logo?"
Feeling as if he was acting a little stupid in front of Xiao Ning, Qian Zhen was silent.
5:45 a.m.
Red Bull started streaming in the live broadcast rooms of various platforms.
What is different from Xiao Ning's challenge in the past is that after the live broadcast was started this time, the audience saw not the countdown to the challenge or the staff shooting the scene from a third perspective.
After the live broadcast was opened this time, the content that everyone saw directly was Xiao Ning holding the camera at him.
Because the approximate start time of the live broadcast has been announced by Red Bull on the Internet in advance, there are already many viewers waiting in the live broadcast rooms of various platforms at this time.
And when everyone found out that Xiao Ning was directly on the camera as soon as the live broadcast was opened, the number of viewers increased faster than the previous live broadcasts.
Even if it's not yet six o'clock in the morning, the barrage in each live broadcast room is still flying.
"Good fellows! I'm straight good guys! Ning Shen is in charge of the camera himself! ”
"I'm afraid of oversleeping, I set the alarm clock at five o'clock, and I waited for about forty minutes, which can be regarded as waiting for the broadcast to start!"
"Ning Shen is already fully dressed!"
"Ning Shen, when did you learn to fly a plane? How come you've never heard of such a thing? ”
"One thing to say, Xiao Ning, you're playing more and more abstractly now, and you've driven a plane through a tunnel, right?"
"Ning Shen, I understand the reason, why do you have to do this challenge early in the morning?"
"Calm your mind! Is that blue plane behind you the plane you're flying? ”
After taking a general look at the barrage and selectively replying to a few messages, Xiao Ning pointed the live camera at the blue plane not far behind him.
"This aircraft is indeed the aircraft that will be used in today's challenge, it is a Zivko Edge 520 V2, and the power has been upgraded and tuned by the professional team of Red Bull."
"This aircraft is a regular feature in many aerobatics shows and competitions."
"If you are interested in this aircraft, you can check the approximate parameters directly on the Internet."
In the live broadcast screen, the blue plane is parked on the center line of the road, except for the whole body paint that is reflecting the light under the illumination of the surrounding light source, at this time, not far in front of the aircraft, the indicator light bar built by the Red Bull team to guide the direction of the aircraft has just been lit up by the staff at the same time.
After such a picture is presented in each live broadcast room, the refresh rate of the barrage instantly increases.
"The Red Bull team is still professional!"
"Just looking at it gives me the feeling that I'm going to do something big."
"I just checked the general situation of this plane, and there is nothing else to say, there is one thing...... It seems a little scary to watch. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Although this plane doesn't look big in the live broadcast, but in fact the wingspan is quite wide, I went to check the width of the Mira Mountain Tunnel, roughly calculated, if the plane flies into the Mira Mountain Tunnel and is just in the middle of the tunnel road, the distance between the wings on both sides of it and the walls on both sides of the tunnel is only about four meters! Then there's the altitude, if the plane flies in the middle of the tunnel, the distance between the two sides is less than two meters! ”
“???”
"I'm grass!"
"Is it so outrageous?"
“……”
Because one viewer learned the data of the wingspan and tunnel width, the height of the aircraft and the height of the tunnel through the information, the other spectators were shocked by this data.
Once the plane flies into the Mira Mountain Tunnel, there is hardly any change of direction for the plane.
The plane must always be in the middle of the tunnel, and if it deviates a little more, the plane will either hit the wall on the left and right sides of the tunnel, or hit the roof of the tunnel or the road surface below.
In fact, if the aircraft is flying at a low altitude at high speed, it is difficult to achieve no flight trajectory deviation at all.
An airplane flying above the ground is completely different from a car with tires on the ground.
The car runs on the ground, and you just have to make sure that you control the steering wheel so that the car always goes in a straight line.
However, when flying close to the ground, it is not so simple for the aircraft to always maintain a stable attitude.
This is because when an airplane is flying close to the ground, there is actually a special situation that is commonly referred to as the ground effect.
The so-called ground effect means that if the aircraft is close enough to the ground, water surface, etc., the pressure difference between the upper and lower pressures of the entire aircraft will suddenly increase, and the lift will increase sharply!
Roughly speaking, if the aircraft is flying in the air far from the ground, then the lift generated by the difference in upper and lower pressure can be stabilized.
But if the plane that was originally in the air suddenly approaches the ground, and the air below has nowhere to go, then the lift will inevitably increase suddenly!
This sudden increase in lift is terrifying for the piloting of an airplane.
If nothing is done, the plane that soars upwards with increased lift will inevitably hit the top of the tunnel overhead.
Therefore, the pilot of the aircraft must control the aircraft at the same time at the moment of this situation, and maintain the stability of the aircraft's lift and thus stabilize the flight altitude at all times.
This process will continue to accompany the aircraft throughout its flight through the tunnel.
This also means that in order to complete this challenge without any accidents, Xiao Ning must always do his best to stabilize the position of the plane in the tunnel after flying in later, and try not to let any deviation appear as much as possible!
If there is a slight mistake in operation, the plane will hit the wall 100 percent.
In the live broadcast room at this time, there are viewers who are posting barrages and talking to others about all this.
In this process, Xiao Ning has actually been staring at the barrage.
Some viewers watching the live broadcast can know this, and it is naturally impossible for Xiao Ning, who directly points the [Aircraft Piloting] skill to the master, not to know.
In fact, during the time when he had just upgraded his skills and entered the system simulation learning space, Xiao Ning had staged countless situations in front of him when he was simulating tunnel flight.
In the countless collisions in front of him, he learned enough lessons to no longer worry about what would happen after he really entered the tunnel.
For this challenge, Xiao Ning is still full of confidence on the whole.
The next time was spent in the interaction between Xiao Ning and the audience one after another.
The audience's questions mainly revolved around the Mira Mountain challenge this time, but during this period, there was also a part of the barrage that asked about the new song.
There is a barrage to ask about the challenge, Xiao Ning will answer truthfully, and those barrages that ask about new songs, Xiao Ning directly pretends not to see it.
Until the time was close to the start of the challenge, when Xiao Ning handed over the live broadcast camera equipment in his hand to the staff of Red Bull, there were still many barrages asking about the new song.
"Calm your mind! What's going on with the new song! ”
"Brother Ning, I've swiped so many pieces, you shouldn't have deliberately pretended not to see it!"
"Didn't you people read the Weibo that Ning Shen posted before? Be a person! Don't rush it! ”
"Ning Shen said on Weibo before that he was writing a new song, and he used 'some' in the quantifier description of the new song, it is reasonable to speculate that this time Ning Shen is going to post several songs at once, don't rush it!"
"Please respect all Xiao Ning's music fans! This is Red Bull's live broadcast room! You can only talk about extreme sports, you know? ”
"Day, five minutes until seven o'clock! I don't know if I'm panicking, but I'm really panicking! ”
"Dude is also panicking! The size of the plane is compared with the size of the tunnel, almost passing through the tunnel, if it is wiped in an instant, the key is that the tunnel is 5,700 meters long! ”
"Take a deep breath, everyone!"
"It's only three minutes!"
"One minute left!"
"It's going to begin!"
"I can't stand it anymore! Thirty seconds left to start! I'm going to have to go and get a crush! ”
"You're a talent, aren't you? Thirty seconds is enough? ”
"Ning Shen is flying the plane, are you going to fight here? I grass! ”
“……”
When the barrage is frantically refreshing.
In the live broadcast room of the major platforms, in the live broadcast footage taken by the drone from the overhead, the ground staff around the blue aerobatic plane have dispersed at the starting point hundreds of meters outside the entrance of the Mira Mountain Tunnel.
The engines of the aircraft have been started, and the propellers are spinning at high speed.
In the cabin of the plane, Xiao Ning under the transparent windshield looked at the front with a relaxed expression.
The Red Bull team of the Mira Mountain project team has completed all the preparations and inspections, but in fact, Xiao Ning had already boarded the plane in advance to do the inspection as early as yesterday when the plane was just delivered to Mira Mountain.
At this time, everything is ready, and he can naturally face everything with a more relaxed attitude.
The last thirty seconds of the countdown were heard in the ears of the staff.
Xiao Ning's mind flashed through the process he had repeatedly rehearsed many times in the system simulation learning space, and his gaze was fixed on the tunnel entrance that looked small at this time because of the distance hundreds of meters away.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
The countdown to the Red Bull staff is over.
At the same time, Xiao Ning, who glanced at the instrument, directly operated the plane and drove out along the middle of the highway where Red Bull had already arranged a white guiding light bar in front of him.
As the engine speed increases, so does the speed of the aircraft on the ground.
30KM/H。
40KM/H。
50KM/H。
Once it had reached take-off speed, Shawning operated the elevator and effortlessly pulled the Zivko Edge 520 V2 off the ground!
The roar of the huge engine resounded around the Mira Mountain Tunnel, and also filled the ears of all the audience in the live broadcast room.
live screen.
As soon as the blue plane lifted off the ground, a large number of white smoke began to emit from its tail.
As the white smoke elongated from the tail of the plane, the entrance to the Mira Mountain Tunnel, which seemed far ahead, was only a stone's throw away in a very short time.
When they were about to enter the tunnel, all the on-site team of the Mira Hill project team and the audience in the live broadcast room held their breath together.
Whistling.
The nose of the blue aerobatic plane has rushed into the entrance of the Mira Hill Tunnel!
