Li Ang's words immediately attracted responses from the disciples of the academy. Using thoughts to control a model aircraft is one kind of experience, but relying on your own feet to push up into the sky is another experience.
Li Ang also made a good prediction at the beginning of making the aircraft——
In order to improve the feasibility of flight, the original Albatross from another world tried every means to reduce the weight of the fuselage.
The skin is made of polyester film. This material has high rigidity, hardness, and toughness, but has poor tear resistance and can easily spread after damage occurs.
The wing spar is an aluminum alloy tube with a diameter of 5 cm and a wall thickness of about 0.5 mm.
Its wing ribs are made of aluminum alloy tubes with a diameter of 6 mm and a wall thickness of about 0.25 mm, balsa wood, and fiberglass. The leading edge is made of corrugated paper.
In order to increase the lift as much as possible, the fuselage also adopts a canard layout, with the propeller blades at the rear and the horizontal tail in the front. The position of the horizontal tail is also relatively low, which can better obtain the additional lift generated by the ground effect.
The combination of various factors allowed the original pilots to fly across the entire English Channel at low altitude.
And the forging workshop materials used by Li Ang,
Wood, skin, and metal wires have higher toughness and strength and can withstand greater fuselage weight and flight speed.
He briefly introduced the precautions for flying and opened the air inlet at the bottom of the cockpit - used to ventilate the cockpit and prevent the driver from overheating.
A student from the Academy happily sat in the driving position and stepped on the pedals vigorously, causing the aircraft to swing into the air again.
Although most of the new students in the academy are not yet adults, they have already embarked on the path of spiritual practice. They are well-fed and have much better physical fitness than ordinary people. The aircraft floated in the sky for several minutes before slowly landing.
Su Feng stepped forward and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
The classmate gasped and said with a red face: "It's so fun, I feel the joy of a good harvest, and my whole body is full of strength! Teacher, can I ride another lap?"
"Of course... no. One person, once, limited time."
Su Feng, Tantai Leshan, and Li Ang looked at each other and smiled. As manufacturers, they have also experienced flying machines - I have to say that compared with flying swords or telekinesis, it is indeed a particularly novel experience.

The junior academy students, who were not yet ready to fly, saw that someone had successfully landed on the ground, and they all asked for a test drive.
"Teacher, here I come!"
"Teacher, please choose me, I am strong!"
"Leave me alone! Junior students, this opportunity to fly is very precious. The seniors should try it first."
I saw a lot of people and a lot of noise,
Tantai Leshan shook his head helplessly. Su Feng glanced at everyone present and caught a glimpse of the Turkic girl standing aside, eager to try.
"Ashina-san, do you want to try?"
"Eh? Me?"
Ashinagara pointed at himself in surprise.
"Yeah."
Su Feng nodded. As an excellent Gonghuo enthusiast, he knew very well how to silence his opponent.
Let the academy disciples try out the human-powered aircraft first, and then let the students from other national academies try it out.
In this way, people in Taihao Mountain cannot say that the academy has tampered with the aircraft and cheated on it.
"Thank you, doctor."
Ashinagaro walked over happily and quickly, jumped on the driver's seat lightly, and stepped on the pedal vigorously.
She has a foundation in body training, and by pedaling hard, the aircraft climbed from slow to fast.
"Haye!"
Although Ashinagara is a Turkic nobleman, he has been learning horseback riding and archery since he was a child.
But flying in the sky, overlooking the scenery outside the window through the portholes, and looking at the gradually smaller ground scenery brings a completely different experience.
She shouted happily, and the aircraft floated in the wind, flying over the woods of Furong Garden and arriving at the Qujiang Pond separated by a wall.
"Follow up quickly!"
Seeing this, Su Feng hurriedly stepped forward and followed, and a group of people followed the aircraft in a noisy manner.
At this time, plum blossoms, wintersweet, etc. were already in full bloom by the Qujiang Pool. A large number of Chang'an citizens who came to watch the scenery gathered here and strolled along the river.
They stared dumbfounded as the huge aircraft with a wingspan of nearly thirty meters flew past at low altitude, and for a moment they thought it was some kind of monster.
Su Feng knew what these ordinary people were thinking, so he took a [Macro Note] from the bag at his waist. After using it, he shouted to the citizens: "Don't panic, this is an experimental product of the academy!"<
/p>
Upon hearing that it was done by the academy, and seeing the people wearing academy uniforms, the citizens of Chang'an who were about to run immediately settled down and stood by the river, curiously watching the aircraft.
Ashinagaro was still in high spirits, and the aircraft passed over the calm river, gaining extra lift and increasing its speed again.
When those slow-sailing boats on the river saw the "strange birds" approaching, they hurriedly changed direction and sailed towards the river bank.
Because the shape of the aircraft was so weird, some boatmen and crewmen who didn't know what was going on were so frightened that they threw down their oars and jumped into the lake.
Some disheveled men and women also ran out of the boat.
Su Feng and others were rescuing people and appeasing the people, and they were in a state of panic for a while.
When Bian Chenpei and other Taihao Mountain disciples saw Ashinagaro driving the aircraft and landing smoothly on the flat ground by the river, their faces became a little ugly, and they all turned and left.
Before leaving, I made a bet that it would be delivered to Li Ang's house on time.
"Tsk, just leave like this?"
Yang Yu looked at their backs, smacked his lips and said, "I thought they would at least apologize or something."
"After all, we are from Taihao Mountain, so it is normal to be proud."
Li Ang said lightly, not caring about the hostility of the people in Taihao Mountain.
How come they are so angry just by a human-powered plane that can take ordinary people to the sky?
When one day Su Feng and Tantai Leshan make a breakthrough in the steam engine and the factory replaces the Taoist temple, won't they be angry to the sky?
Let him go.
The journey to the Academy is like a sea of stars...
He came back to his senses, looked at the busy riverside, and smiled slightly.
When the matter is over, the parts on this aircraft will be dismantled and preserved as a souvenir.
The experience of making airplanes can also be inherited and used to make other things.
For example, a bicycle or something.

"It actually... really succeeded."
On the pavilion of Furong Garden, Queen Xue opened her mouth wide in surprise and slowly lowered her telescope.
"Yes, they actually made it happen."
Emperor Yu sighed and handed the telescope to the eunuch in yellow beside him.
As a companion who gets along day and night, Queen Xue is keenly aware of the different meaning in her husband's sigh, "The elder is a little unhappy?"
"Ha, a human-powered plane made the people of Taihao Mountain hide their faces and run away, which greatly increased the prestige of Yu State. How could I not be happy?"
Emperor Yu smiled slightly and patted the back of his wife's hand, but there was an undercurrent surging in his heart.
