Chapter 198

At the same time, Wang Bin can also clearly see in his telescope that the speed of the drone at this time has obviously increased a lot, and soon formed a special cloud formed by the aircraft when it breaks through the sound barrier in the middle of the aircraft.

However, as the speed of the plane continued to increase, these special clouds began to disappear.

Just then! Jia Jie spoke: "The drone has broken through the sound barrier, and the speed is 1.1 Mach."

"Continue to speed up until the maximum speed is reached!" Wang Bin said busyly.

"Yes!" Then, Jia Jie adjusted the output public column of the drone to the maximum.

As the engine of the drone reaches its maximum horsepower, the drone's speed also reaches its designed maximum speed soon.

However, the drone is still accelerating at this time. Although it has reached the maximum design speed, this does not mean that the maximum speed of the aircraft can only reach this speed. After all, the maximum design speed is at full fuel and full load, that is, the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft is 16.3 tons.

Now the drone is neither full of oil nor loaded with anything, and even various air-to-ground search radars are not installed. Now the entire aircraft is only six or seven tons, so naturally its speed will be higher.

Soon, the speed of the aircraft exceeded Mach 1.6 and reached Mach 1.7, but the speed of the aircraft was still increasing rapidly.

"Mr. Wang! The speed of the drone has reached Mach 1.7 and is still accelerating! Should I stop accelerating?" Just when the plane reached Mach 1.7, Jia Jie asked Wang Bin with some concern.

After all, the maximum speed of this aircraft during its design was only Mach 1.6! Now the speed of this aircraft has exceeded Mach 1.7, so he was a little worried that the collective structure of this aircraft could not stand it.

However, Wang Bin's answer made him unable to bite the bullet and continue to accelerate the plane.

"No, continue to accelerate. Since it is a test flight, we must measure the limit speed of the drone." Although Wang Bin also knew Jia Jie's concerns, he still ordered Jia Jie to continue to accelerate.

Although Wang Bin himself was also a little worried that the collective structure of the aircraft would not be able to stand at such a speed, but it was obvious that Wang Bin's concern was unnecessary. Shortly after he issued the order, the speed of the drone broke through the limit again and reached Mach 1.9.

And at this time, the speed of the drone still did not reach the limit output by the aircraft engine and continued to accelerate. Until the speed of the drone passing through the No. 001 drone reached Mach 2.06, the speed increase of the drone slowed down. In the end, the maximum speed of the drone in its current state was stopped at about Mach 2.12.

"Mr. Wang! Tiangong 001 has a speed of 2.12 Mach, the aircraft has good speed, good internal vibration, and good internal structure! The aircraft is in good condition." When the aircraft's speed reached its limit, Jia Jie immediately reported the situation of the aircraft.

"Start tests such as turning at extreme speeds, and record data changes inside the aircraft!" After listening to Jia Jie's report, Wang Bin nodded.

However, after hearing Wang Bin's words, Jia Jie did not immediately execute Wang Bin's orders, but asked Wang Bin: "Mr. Wang, do you really need to operate this way? After all, this is a turning at a maximum speed of Mach 2.1. When turning at such a speed, the aircraft will have to bear an extraordinary load and the internal structure will also bear strong pressure. Once the turn is exceeded, the limit that the internal construction can bear, then the aircraft will likely disintegrate on the spot."

"Yes! Mr. Wang, it seems that this drone from your Tiangong Technology is just the first time to conduct a test flight test! I think this is completely unnecessary. After all, such an action test will have opportunities in the future!" Mr. Lin, who was standing beside the test, also said.

To be honest, for Mr. Lin, the first test flight test of Wang Bin and his Tiangong Technology was too rough. There was no such rough movement when the aircraft was conducting such a rough movement when it was conducting the first test flight. Not to mention the extreme speed turns and other actions he had just issued. Even if the extreme speed test they conducted before, if the normal test flight was based on the normal test flight, it would have to wait until the aircraft performed multiple test flights before it would be carried out, let alone the turning and other actions at the extreme speed. After all, doing so would be very huge to the aircraft. If you are not careful, it may lead to the disintegration of the aircraft and the complete failure of the test flight.

However, Wang Bin doesn't care about their concerns. After all, for Tiangong Technology, the cost of this drone is as high as nearly 10 million, because the engine cost alone is as high as 50 million. If scientific research funds are added, the price will be higher. However, this is nothing to Tiangong Technology today. 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 did, even if this plane really happens or disintegrates during the test flight, it will be impossible to build another one. We will lose more, let alone, I have confidence in our Tiangong 001 drone."

After hearing Wang Bin's words, Jia Jie didn't say anything more. After all, who said Wang Bin is the boss of their Tiangong Technology? What's more, Wang Bin said it is true. For his current Tiangong Technology, even if there is really a problem with this plane, it's impossible to build another one. The most important thing is that they got the data they want to obtain.

After hearing Wang Bin's words, General Manager Lin shook his head and said nothing. After all, this is just a drone, not a manned aircraft. If it is a manned aircraft, then no matter what, General Manager Lin would not let it perform such a rough test flight. The drone is different. At worst, it will be lost. As long as the data is obtained, Tiangong Technology can build another drone at any time.

Afterwards, Jia Jie operated the drone to perform a series of turns, including large radius turns, small radius turns, and also turns in all directions. It was not until nearly half an hour of test flight that Jia Jie reported to Wang Binhui: "Mr. Wang! The plane's fuel is about to run out. May I ask if I will return."

"Yes, but when we return, we have to conduct a last subject test, that is, the test of this drone under five fuel conditions.

Jia Jie now turns off the aircraft's fuel output system and turns on the electric drive to return.

"Yes! Mr. Wang!" After saying that, 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 plane that was originally roaring suddenly disappeared, which made everyone present, except Wang Bin, Jia Jie, General Engineer Lin and others, very confused. They thought that this drone failed to test flight this time.
