Chapter 85: Take-off (2/5 Initial Booking)
Nie Xin had been staring at the drone, and when he saw Li Anchor's signal, he immediately got busy on the control console.
Because Li Anchor was afraid that there would be problems with the drone during transportation, he turned off the power of the drone as a whole when he was about to set off.
At this time, after the drone is re-energized, it must also be re-matched with the control console.
With the cooperation of Li Anchor and Nie Xin, the drone quickly established a control channel with the control console.
After the drone and the console are connected, the drone also runs on its own, and the self-test procedures are implemented one by one.
Accompanied by the sound of various hydraulic operations, every moving place on the drone is carrying out self-inspection.
Not only the wings and tail are moving, but also the cabin doors and tail doors are also opening and closing, and even the spherical high-definition lens under the nose is also rotating at this time.
When the drone completed the self-test, Li Anchor shouted to Nie Xin in front of the control console: "Nie Xin, start the manual self-test!" ”
"Good!"
When Li Anchor heard Nie Xin's answer, then the two cooperated,
"The landing gear/flaps are finely adjusted!
The fuel is sufficient to meet the flight requirements, and the center of gravity is in the correct position.
Lights everywhere are normal,
Rudder and ailerons trimmed, unhindered have been zeroed
……”
Nie Xin controlled the console, checking item by item according to the take-off process, and Li Anchor informed him of the corresponding results of the drone when Nie Xin made the operation.
After close cooperation between the two, the drone finally completed the self-test and manually checked the take-off status.
After doing all this, Li Anchor walked around the take-off runway again to ensure the safety of the take-off path.
After Li Anchor carefully completed the take-off and clearance, he returned to Nie Xin and the others.
Nie Xin said a word to Li Anchor when he saw him come back, and then put the VR headset on his head.
Nie Xin adjusted his helmet, and then took out the start key that Li Anchor gave him.
Due to the motion capture gloves, in the VR vision, he is holding the key in his right hand and inserting it towards the startup keyhole on the console.
In reality, his hand, just like in the VR world, was completely inserted into the hole by him, twisted the key to open the start limit, and Nie Xin immediately pressed the start button.
The moment he pressed the button, the drone was only powered on and quiet, and then the sound of an electric starter sounded.
When the sound of the electric starter passed, the engine on the drone was finally started.
A small but steady and majestic roar came out from the nose of the drone.
At the same time, the propeller in front of the nose of the drone also rotated wildly, accompanied by the sound of the propeller spinning rapidly in the air.
As for the three people of the test flight team sitting next to Nie Xin, their work had already begun at this time, and the various performances of the drones had also been faithfully recorded by them one by one.
After Li Anchor came back, he sat down next to Fan Chang, and then he didn't have anything to do, he just had to go and see it, after all, professional things were handed over to professional people, right?
However, although he didn't need to play by himself this time, he was still very concerned about the test flight, and his eyes never left, the big TV that projected the perspective of the drone.
At the same time, Li Anchor is also using his own afterglow to observe the actual state of the drone that has not yet taken off.
This test flight is very different from the last time he flew blindly, and everything this time is in line with the process and legal compliance.
And what this has caused is that the process is somewhat cumbersome, for example, now, Nie Xin is seriously wearing headphones, listening to the permission to take off from the Air Traffic Control Bureau.
The other three members of the test flight team, in addition to recording the whole process of the test flight, are also operating in front of their own computers, maintaining their contact with their superiors, and timely reporting everything that happens here.
After all the work was ready, several people waited for the message from the air traffic control, until another five or six minutes later, they finally waited for the order to take off.
After hearing that he was allowed to take off, Nie Xin hurriedly shook his hands, and then put his relaxed hands on the control console.
At this time, Nie Xin was like driving a real machine, controlling it on the console according to the normal process.
At this time, the drone also made corresponding actions because of his operation, and the drone moved and moved on the runway.
The drone moved to the asphalt road, in front of a white line drawn, and this is the real take-off line of the drone.
Three-point landing gear, many wheels were controlled to brake the car, and then Nie Xin pushed the throttle push rod to the bottom on the control console.
As the throttle was maxed out, the propellers spun faster and faster, braking the car's tires and fighting against the thrust generated by the aircraft.
Until the thrust generated by the propeller reached the maximum on the ground, the brakes were finally released by Nie Xin, and the entire body of the drone slammed forward.
This means that people cannot sit on the drone, and if someone sits in the cabin of the drone at this time, they will definitely feel the strong push back of the machine.
Under the huge thrust, the drone began to accelerate extremely quickly on the runway, and the speed of the aircraft became faster and faster.
At a distance of only sixty or seventy meters, the nose landing gear of the UAV has already shown an upward trend.
Although it is not obvious from the outside, at this time, in the VR sight, you can clearly see the state of the drone's shaking. Especially Nie Xin, who is wearing a VR headset, what he sees is the most obvious.
When Nie Xin saw this state, he already knew that he could try to pull the drone up, but for the sake of insurance, he still controlled the drone and continued to fly forward for more than 30 meters.
When the drone slid for more than 100 meters, Nie Xin controlled the drone and pulled the nose up steadily.
Because he was also afraid of pulling too much, resulting in the phenomenon of extremely mopping the floor, the take-off of the drone was very smooth.
First, the nose landing gear had several sets of tires off the ground, and the plane continued to fly forward, and as the speed became faster and faster, the two rear landing gears finally left the ground.
When the drone jumped into the air and the tail of the aircraft also left the ground at a height of two meters, Nie Xin increased the pitch angle and flew towards a higher airspace with a large-angle climbing maneuver.
On a drone that has not yet been tested, it is obviously not compliant to use a large-angle climb, but Nie Xin, who is flying a drone, did just that.
Why would he use this obvious foul to climb higher into the airspace?
That's all because of the feeling that the drone gives him, letting him know that making a climb at a wide angle is not a problem at all.
The drone gave him a feeling of ease, which was something that the one he had flown before had never given him.
