Singer's trick is very effective! When it comes to getting rid of the pull of gravity, power, weight and air resistance are the three most important aspects!
He has tried his best in terms of power. He can't change the air resistance. The only thing he can change is the weight. Even if it is a few tons, it is meaningful!
YD-2000 successfully broke out of the stratosphere under the mysterious operation of the mysterious man, and its speed was infinitely close to the first cosmic speed. At this point, the overall situation was decided.
The two congratulated each other with high fives! There was no need to be so nervous anymore. The air resistance in the middle layer was almost zero. After surviving the most difficult stage, they finally became members of the big space family.
Yin Mulan was full of confidence, "East Pacific Aviation Control, this is YD-2000. Although we arrived late, we still came here after all!
Please indicate the on-orbit course, we expect to reach an altitude of 300 kilometers in 30 seconds."
One minute later, YD-2000 was flying in an orbit of 310 kilometers, with the beautiful earth beneath its feet, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Singh picked up the intercom and informed the cabin, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Singh! It's free time now. You can enjoy two hours of fun. This place is so close to our God. You
Can you feel it?"
Although he cannot hear or see, as a nation that loves to dance, he can imagine what is happening in the cabin now. What kind of dance will a group of dancers who have lost the restraint of gravity perform?
He hopes to see in-cabin photography when he goes back, it was a great time!
But Yin Mulan brought him bad news, "I'm sorry, Captain! We may have forgotten to turn off the fuel drain valve..."
There is no gravity here, but the way airplanes discharge fuel is pump spray...
Singer was shocked, watching Yin Mulan quickly turn off the oil drain valve, praying in his heart that this accident would not bring any bad consequences to them!
The two of them were so excited that they were a little carried away with their joy. This should not be the mood of the pilot, but pilots are also human beings, and they also have the joys and sorrows of ordinary people...
The fuel gauge on the instrument panel does not completely accurately display the amount of fuel in the aircraft, especially at low fuel levels; this is an inconspicuous little loophole after the modification of the 959 model, because it does not need so much fuel.
Therefore, the large fuel tank like ordinary models has long been removed, and it also comes with many sensors for fuel volume calculation.
The result is that when the remaining fuel level is less than about ten tons, the pointer reading is very inaccurate! This cannot be blamed on the modification designer. It is really impossible to find a square fuel tank on the aircraft to hold fuel.
In order to comply with aerodynamics, the shape of the fuel tank is always strange.
"Calculate how much fuel we have left? I think it should be enough? It seems that we didn't have much time to drain the fuel?"
Yin Mulan started to calculate! Through the onboard computer, as well as the fuel consumption and fuel drain amount when the engine is running, this is actually not difficult, it is a basic skill for the co-pilot!
He quickly came to a conclusion, but he couldn't believe the result, so he calculated it again carefully.
Singer was also a little panicked, but he could hold it back, "What? Is there any problem?"
Yin Mulan felt as if she were mourning her heir, "Captain, we don't have enough fuel! There are still 6 tons left, which is not enough to get us back to the ground!"
Singer was very unhappy, "How is that possible? Did you make a miscalculation? We took off with a full 30 tons of fuel!"
He did it himself, and the result was that he didn't know it. He was shocked when he calculated it, and found that there were really only 6 tons left. The data can't lie!
Yin Mulan smiled bitterly, "Captain, I think this may be caused by two reasons. One is that we accelerated and hovered in the stratosphere for too long, and the other is that we put in more fuel..."
The fuel reserve for space roaming is 30 tons. This is a generally considered reasonable amount of fuel. You cannot bring too much just for insurance. This is equivalent to having to carry dozens of tons of extra weight to climb a mountain!
It is necessary to have a certain amount of fuel redundancy, but also to carry as little burden as possible to facilitate the impact of the first cosmic speed. The balance between this is the value of 30 tons.
Of the 30 tons, just over 10 tons are consumed for takeoff, and 7 or 8 tons are required for landing. Then there are about 10 tons left to deal with unexpected situations. This is the confidence for flights such as AM-1314 to make another impact in the stratosphere!
But the problem with YD-2000 is that they lingered in the stratosphere for a long time, and they adopted Singer's fuel-draining strategy... If you think about the process carefully, you will find that there is no problem with the fuel calculation!
Before the two of them calmed down from the excitement of entering space, a basin of cold water was poured on them. The only advantage was that the passengers of Magic Kingdom could enjoy the space scenery for a longer time. The ticket price was worth it, even if they were hungry.
I wonder how long they can last for sightseeing?
If they were in the atmosphere, they would immediately face the choice of forced landing, but in space, they have plenty of time to consider this issue.
Singer had to contact Donghai Space Navigation Control. Their tone was still complacent just now, but now they are a little discouraged.
"Donghai Aviation Control, this is YD-2000, there is a problem with our fuel..."
"Please describe your problem in detail! Is it an oil leak? Or was it too much consumption before? Or some other reason?"
"The consumption was too high before, so... we request ground support!"
In the East China Sea space flight control room, several air traffic controllers looked at each other.
"How did this fly? Didn't he check his fuel level before going up? Or did he think he was a satellite?
It was fine when you came here, but now you can't go back?"
"A magical country, a magical event! This is all about saving face, but the result... Hey, do you know how to save a space passenger plane?"
Someone joked, "Maybe send another plane up there and stack it up to get it down? They're good at that!"
The supervisor was speechless, "Notify the space alliance! This is their problem. Hundreds of tons of stuff must be taken down safely. It seems that no country in the world has this capability!"
The ownership of space flights is relatively complicated. It is jointly managed by the space consortium and airlines of various countries. The consortium provides technology and pilots, and the airlines provide airports and a series of services. However, there is still no unified understanding of accident rescue.
It would be easy if it was within the atmosphere. Whichever country is in the sky would rescue it, but this is space! It seems that no one has the right to belong?
Since they are all magical people, should they be managed by the Magical Kingdom?
As for the method of rescue, it can only be negotiated and coordinated by the space alliance and the government of the magical country. This is the first space rescue. The entire system has not yet formed a mature system, so everything starts from scratch!
The first space odyssey was messed up by a solar storm and exposed too many problems, but this was also the purpose of starting a space odyssey!
You always have to start, and you can't back down just because of difficulties. This is everyone's opinion.
