Chapter 425 Successfully Completed the Supersonic Project
However, the crew at this time did not lower the altitude of the aircraft. Twenty allowed the aircraft to continue to fly forward with inertia. After all, the speed of the aircraft at this time was too fast, and the aircraft was already close to the atmosphere at this time. At the edge, the air is very thin, so in this case, the steering of the aircraft is extremely difficult, and because the speed is too fast, if the direction of the aircraft is changed forcibly, it is likely to cause damage to the aircraft.
Of course, it does not mean that the aircraft cannot be steered under such circumstances. In fact, under such circumstances, the aircraft can still be steered, but the steering range cannot be too large. In other words, at this time, Airplanes are no longer able to maneuver in a small area.
Finally, when the aircraft’s speed was reduced to Mach 5 again, the aircraft had reached an altitude of 50,000 meters at this time. Such an altitude is definitely the edge of the atmosphere in the true sense.
At the same time, everyone in the tower is very nervous at this time. After all, such a height has reached the edge of the atmosphere, so at this time they are most concerned about the life data of the airplane pilot.
Although this aircraft is equipped with certain life-sustaining equipment, such as space decompression suits, such as oxygen systems, and the cockpit of the aircraft is also fully sealed, but anyway, this is an ordinary aircraft. However, it is not a special space vehicle or aerospace vehicle, so it is still very different from these space manned vehicles.
Of course, at this time, as the crew members of this aircraft, since the altitude of the aircraft has reached 50,000 meters, their vision is extremely wide at this time, and they can even see the earth in space, so they have already The scenery looked at from a high altitude to the ground was stunned by the beauty, and it was not until the multiple calls from the ground that they came back to their senses.
However, because they were wearing space suits at this time, they did not experience physical discomfort except for some feeling of weightlessness.
After receiving the report from the crew on the ground, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the use of a manned aircraft to fly to the edge of the atmosphere has been carried out by some countries as early as the last century.
But that X-15 was just a small single-person aircraft, and it was only after one flight, after which they cancelled the project.
But this time they have created a real miracle. You must know that this aircraft is not a small aircraft, but an aircraft the size of a linear passenger plane!
Moreover, there was not only one crew member on board at this time, but as many as three.
The most important thing is that in addition to the aircraft that can carry three crew members, the aircraft can also be equipped with about ten to twenty tons of ammunition. In other words, if the aircraft is equipped with a rocket at this time If you do, you can definitely put a few tons of spacecraft into space, so this is definitely not a joke.
Of course, this test flight was naturally observed by interested people throughout the whole process, so all those who observed this test flight were all stunned. 50,000 meters is the altitude of 50 kilometers, and the maximum speed is above Mach 6. Let them contend with that.
So some people were frightened, some were scared, some were shivering, and some even immediately destroyed some things that were going to be announced, and they never understood these things. Even some countries in China that were preparing to engage in troubles suddenly settled down.
Naturally, Wang Bin didn’t know about these things, and even if he knew it, he would not pay attention. After all, the test flight of the Phoenix-m1 aircraft was still in progress at this time, and there were still many subjects that had not been completed.
Take the airplane’s descent as an example. Because the airplane is very fast at this time and the air is thinner, if the airplane’s downward flight angle is too large, it is likely to make the airplane’s speed too fast and cause problems with the airplane. , Or the high temperature caused by friction with the atmosphere, and the plane crashed and killed people.
Finally, after the airplane reached the highest point, the altitude of the airplane began to drop a little bit, but fortunately, the crew also firmly controlled the speed of the airplane at about Mach 4 and began to steer the airplane slowly.
Because at this time, Wang Bin, the crew and others discovered that the plane was already over the high seas of the South China Sea after only ten minutes had passed. If the flight direction of the plane was not adjusted, the plane would fly on the high seas and enter the airspace of other countries. , This is absolutely not allowed.
With the successful steering of the aircraft, the altitude of the aircraft has dropped below 40,000 meters. At the same time, the flight speed of the aircraft, due to the steering, has also dropped to only about Mach 3.
Fortunately, at this altitude, the aircraft engine’s working height has been reached, so the aircraft’s engine starts again and the flight begins to return.
When the plane started to return under the operation of the crew, both Wang Bin and Qiu and the others were relieved, and with that came extreme excitement.
After all, having such an aircraft represents absolute deterrence, because at this altitude, flying at this speed, with the current level of aircraft and missiles in various countries, it is extremely difficult to be hit, that is to say, this aircraft For today’s humans, it is definitely the existence of the ceiling.
You know, at this altitude, you can glide hundreds of kilometers if you drop a guided bomb at any time! How could this not excite Mr. Qiu and others!
“Mr. Wang! You Tiangong Technology is really amazing. You actually developed an airplane that can fly to the edge of the atmosphere. It’s really amazing. I think, based on the current situation of this airplane, even if it is actually It is impossible to develop it in the strongest country for more than ten or twenty years, but your Tiangong Technology actually took such a short time to develop it.
The most important thing is that the cost of this aircraft is not very high, only one billion. We can fully use this price. “Mr Qiu said excitedly.
And Wang Bin also smiled. He is of course proud of own Tiangong Technology. Although many of the technology and technology of Tiangong Technology were purchased from the mall, this is also inseparable from the whole of Tiangong Technology. With the efforts of the employees, it is possible to manufacture an aircraft with low cost and advanced performance.
Afterwards, Wang Bin and others were chatting while paying attention to the data on the screen. About twenty minutes later, the plane appeared above the runway and rushed straight towards the runway, and finally stabilized. Landed steadily on the runway.
When the plane landed, the entire tower suddenly formed a sea of joy. Everyone burst into applause, and some even jumped up high…
