Chapter 416 Test flight of the new aircraft
After hearing Wang Bin's words, Qiu Shi and the others were shocked and looked disbelieving.
However, they really hoped that what Wang Bin said was true.
Because if Tiangong Technology really developed a vehicle that can fly aerospace, as long as the price does not really exceed the official or the military's bottom line, then the military will definitely buy such an aircraft.
And as long as there is a real aerospace plane, the Chinese Air Force may have to be renamed and changed to an aerospace army. It is a truly veritable aerospace army, not like some foreign countries, which have no real aerospace flights, and can only use a few satellites.
And with the space plane, the Air Force's strategic combat capabilities will definitely be greatly improved in the future.
Seeing their disbelief, Wang Bin confirmed again: "Sir Qiu, and all the experts, this plane is indeed an aerospace plane, and it is a real aerospace plane.
However, although the plane seemed to have been manufactured almost the same at this time, in fact, it was still early to be assembled.
Although it seems almost the same, in fact, there are many equipment inside the aircraft at this time, such as the biological maintenance system, air circulation and water circulation system, which have not been installed yet," said Wang Bin.
After hearing this, people became even more excited. After all, according to what Wang Bin said, the plane was not a model aircraft but an airplane that could really fly in the sky. How could this not make them not excited?
Then Wang Bin carefully introduced the data of this aerospace plane to us.
This made them even more expectant about this aircraft. Although according to Wang Bin, this aircraft can only send spacecraft into low-Earth orbit below 200 kilometers at most, no matter what, it is also an aircraft that can take off from the ground and enter space without a rocket.
As time continued, after everyone watched the aerospace plane for a while, everyone finally remembered the purpose of this visit to Tiangong Technology, which was to test the Phoenix-M1 bomber.
When everyone came to the side of this Phoenix-M1 bomber again, they felt very different when they saw this plane.
If we were to say, before, they still had great doubts about whether Tiangong Technology could develop an ultrasonic bomber.
So, now they believe that Tiangong Technology is absolutely capable of developing ultra-high-sonic bombers in a short period of time, and at the same time, they are also very confident about the performance data of this aircraft.
But no matter what, even if the aircraft's technology is advanced, the aircraft is even more reliable.
The test flight work still needs to be carried out. After all, many things can only obtain data after the test flight.
With the arrival of test flight time, the Phoenix-M1 aircraft finally slowly left the assembly workshop under the traction vehicle under the expectation of the tractor and arrived at the takeoff point of the runway.
Just as the Phoenix-m1 was pulling the tractor outside, everyone looked at the plane.
"Mr. Wang, to be honest, although this Phoenix-M1 aircraft is one level shorter than the Phoenix-kt1 aircraft you are manufacturing, it is undeniable that this Phoenix-M1 aircraft is definitely a very good bomber, which really makes me feel very proud." An expert who came with Mr. Qiu said at this time.
"Yes! This Phoenix-M1 aircraft is really beautiful, and it really makes me look at it forever!
Not to mention its performance, it is absolutely beautiful in terms of appearance alone. It can even be said to be the most beautiful aircraft in the world. None of them, even the latest sixth-generation aircraft that the Bald Eagle is developing, that is, the f-x model, cannot be compared with this aircraft." Another expert said.
At this time, Master Qiu also spoke: "Indeed, the appearance of this aircraft is indeed very outstanding. Of course, in addition to this, other models of Tiangong Technology have good appearances, especially the aerospace plane, which is even more beautiful than this aircraft."
Of course, the tractor has already pulled the plane to the runway. At the same time, the crew had already been on the plane at this time and had begun to inspect the plane.
At the same time, the ground crew also began to get busy, starting to conduct various inspections on the plane and refuel the plane.
However, since this aircraft is an ultra-high-sonic bomber, the fuel used is naturally not ordinary fuel, because ordinary fuel is not enough to make the aircraft's flight path five or six times the speed of sound, and at the same time, it is not enough to send the aircraft to the stratosphere of more than 40,000 meters.
Therefore, the fuel used by this aircraft is not ordinary fuel, but the lifted liquid hydrogen is used as the fuel of this aircraft.
During the chat between Wang Bin and Qiu Shi and others, the plane's fuel and ground crew inspection of the plane were finally completed, and it was finally time for the plane to conduct a real test flight.
At this moment, a No. 11 aircraft in the distance was also led by the tractor, slowly coming to the takeoff runway of the airport, and took off first in the eyes of everyone. Then the Phoenix-m1 aircraft also started the plane's pulse detonation engine. The plane began to slowly glide forward, and under the action of the engine, the speed became faster and faster.
However, as an ultrasonic aircraft with a very large sweep angle, the skiing distance required for the takeoff of this aircraft is not comparable to that of ordinary aircraft. According to data, even if this aircraft is in an airplane state, it will require at least 1,500 meters of skiing distance.
If it is in full state, the sliding distance must be at least three thousand meters.
Therefore, when the plane taxied nearly 1,500 meters on the ground, the speed of the plane was already very fast, reaching more than 100 meters per second.
It was not until this time that the crew on the plane slowly pulled up the nose and the plane slowly left the ground.
Just as the plane slowly left the ground, the personnel inside the command tower, including Wang Bin, suddenly applauded.
After all, the plane took off successfully, which proves that the basic design of this plane is not a problem.
With the successful takeoff of the plane, the speed of the plane continued to increase. At the same time, the plane's flight direction was the same as the direction when the plane was tested before. It also flew towards the East China Sea, and soon crossed the coastline and came over the East China Sea.
At the same time, the No. 11 main fighter jet that was flying with it had already flown to the test flight area and began to fly with the plane in conjunction with it.
Since the subjects of this test flight did not fly at supersonic or supersonic speeds, and the Phoenix-m1 aircraft was not filled with fuel, the plane began to return after half an hour of test flight.
Just like during takeoff, the skiing distance required for this aircraft to land is much longer than that of ordinary bombers. According to the data, it will take at least 1,500 meters.
