Chapter One Hundred Ninety Eight
At the same time, Wang Bin can clearly see in his telescope that the speed of the drone at this time has obviously increased a lot, and soon formed in the middle of the aircraft. The aircraft’s breakthrough sound barrier was formed. Special cloud.
However, as the speed of the aircraft continued to Ascension, these special clouds also began to disappear.
at this time! Jia Jie said: “The drone has broken through the sound barrier, with a speed of Mach 1.1.”
“Continue to increase the speed until the maximum speed is reached!” Wang Bin said hurriedly.
“Yes!” Afterwards, Jia Jie adjusted the output public column of the drone to the maximum.
As the UAV’s engine horsepower was turned to its maximum, soon, the UAV’s speed also reached the designed maximum speed.
However, the drone is still accelerating at this time. Although it has reached the design maximum speed, this does not mean that the maximum speed of the aircraft can only reach this speed. After all, the design maximum speed is in the case of full fuel and full load. , Which is the ultimate take-off weight of this aircraft, 16.3 tons.
But now this drone is neither full of fuel nor loaded with anything, and even various air-to-ground search radars are not installed. Now the entire aircraft adds up to only six or seven tons, so naturally its speed will be Will be higher.
Soon, the speed of the airplane broke through at Mach 1.6 and reached Mach 1.7, but the speed of the airplane was still increasing rapidly.
“Mr. Wang! The speed of the drone has reached Mach 1.7, and it is still accelerating! Do you want to stop the acceleration?” Just when the plane reached Mach 1.7, Jia Jie asked Wang Bin with some worry.
After all, the maximum speed of this aircraft at the time of design was only Mach 1.6! But now the speed of this plane has exceeded Mach 1.7, so he is a little worried that the collective structure of this plane can’t stand it.
However, Wang Bin’s answer allowed him to bite the bullet and continue to accelerate the plane.
“No, continue to accelerate. Since it is a test flight, then we have to measure the ultimate speed of this drone.” Although Wang Bin also knew Jia Jie’s concerns, he still ordered Jia Jie to continue to accelerate.
Although Wang Bin himself was a little worried at this time that the collective structure of this aircraft would not be able to stand at this speed, but it was clear that Wang Bin’s worries were superfluous. Soon after he gave the order, no one was there. The speed of the machine broke through the limit again, reaching the level of Mach 1.9.
At this time, the speed of the drone still did not reach the limit output by the aircraft’s engine, and it continued to accelerate until the speed of the drone passed by the speed of drone 001 and reached Mach 2.06. The increase in speed slowed down. In the end, the ultimate speed of this drone in its current state stopped at around Mach 2.12.
“Mr. Wang! Tiangong 001 has a speed of Mach 2.12. The aircraft has good speed, good internal vibration, and good internal structure! The aircraft is in normal condition.” When the aircraft’s speed reached its limit, Jia Jie immediately reported the aircraft’s condition.
“Start the test of turning and other actions at the limit speed, and record the data changes inside the aircraft!” After hearing Jia Jie’s report, Wang Bin nodded.
However, after listening to Wang Bin’s words, Jia Jie did not immediately execute Wang Bin’s orders. Instead, he asked Wang Bin: “Mr. Wang, do you really want to do this? After all, this is at the maximum speed of Mach 2.1. Turning, turning at this speed, the aircraft has to withstand extraordinary loads, and the internal structure is also under strong pressure. Once in the process of turning, it exceeds the limit that the internal structure can withstand, then this aircraft The plane will most likely disintegrate on the spot.”
“Yes! Mr. Wang, this drone of your Tiangong Technology seems to be only conducting a test flight test this time! I don’t think this is necessary at all. After all, there will be opportunities for such an action test in the future!” Mr. Lin also said.
To be honest, for Mr. Lin, Wang Bin and his team’s first flight test of Tiangong Technology were too rough. How could an aircraft perform such rough actions during the first test flight? Turns and other actions that exceed the limit speed, even if it is the limit speed test they conducted before, if the normal flight test conditions are followed, it will not be performed until the aircraft has performed multiple test flights, not to mention the turn at the limit speed, etc. Action, after all, doing so will cause a huge loss of the aircraft, and even if you are not careful, it may cause the aircraft to disintegrate and the test flight will fail completely.
However, Wang Bin didn’t care about their worries. After all, for their Tiangong Technology, the cost of this drone was as high as nearly ten million, because the cost of the engine alone was as high as five or six million. The price of scientific research funds will be higher, but this is not a big deal for the current Tiangong Technology. For Wang Bin, the most important thing now is to collect various data on this aircraft.
So he ordered Jia Jie: “According to what I have done, even during the test flight, this aircraft really has a problem or disintegrates. It is only a big deal to build another one. We will lose, not to mention, I will treat us. The Tiangong 001 UAV is confident.”
After listening to Wang Bin’s words, Jia Jie didn’t say anything, after all, who called Wang Bin the boss of Tiangong Technology! What’s more, what Wang Bin said is also true. For his current Tiangong Technology, even if there is a problem with this aircraft, it is a big deal to build another one. The most important thing is that they have obtained the data they want.
After listening to Wang Bin’s words, Mr. Lin also shook his head and said nothing. After all, this is just a drone, not a manned aircraft. If it is a manned aircraft, then what to say, Mr. Lin Workers will not let them conduct such a rough test flight, and drones are different. In the worst case, one drone will be lost. As long as the data is obtained, Tiangong Technology can make another drone at any time.
Subsequently, Jia Jie operated the UAV to perform a series of turning actions. These actions included large-radius turns, small-radius turns, and turns in various directions until after nearly half an hour of test flight. Jiecai reported to Wang Binhui: “Mr. Wang! The aircraft’s fuel is about to run out. May I ask if you want to return.”
“Yes, but when we return home, we have to test the last subject, which is the test of this UAV under five fuel conditions.
Jia Jie now turns off the aircraft’s fuel output system and turns on the electric drive to return home.
“Yes! Mr. Wang!” After speaking, he turned off the aircraft’s personnel output and turned on the aircraft’s electric drive system.
With Jia Jie’s operation, the roar of the aircraft that was originally roaring disappeared all at once. This made everyone present except Wang Bin, Jia Jie, and Chief Engineer Lin very confused. They thought, Did the drone test flight fail this time?
Of course, it’s not that the drone’s engine became silent after the drone was changed to electric drive. In fact, the drone’s engine continued to make a huge roar after it was changed to electric drive. Compared with fuel-driven, the sound made is much smaller, but even so, in fact, you can still hear the Ruoruuowu roar on Wang Bin’s side.
