Half a month later, in a factory building at Xinghai Space Base, hundreds of scientists and engineers gathered around the newly built private anti-gravity aircraft and couldn't stop looking at it.
This private anti-gravity aircraft named 'Skywalker' is about five meters long, four meters wide and two meters high. When viewed from above, the overall shape presents a perfect triangular curve.
The graceful curves are full of technological colors, and the cool shape makes people fall in love with it immediately. Coupled with its elegant posture, it is like a dancing swallow, even if it has not yet flown in the air, it can already
Imagine its heroic appearance soaring in the sky.
"It's so beautiful!"
"Boss, I have to get one of these!"
Tang Peng looked at the private anti-gravity aircraft in front of him and couldn't help but admire it.
After a lifetime of aerospace research, I have finally built a beautiful aircraft.
"It's necessary. When the time comes, all senior managers in our company will be equipped with one first. When the production volume increases, all employees will be equipped with one."
Liu Yuan naturally agreed without hesitation, and said eagerly, "I'm here for a test drive. Just looking at it makes you want to soar into the blue sky."
"Boss, boss, this is not okay!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately said in unison.
What a joke, even though he was full of confidence in his own skills, he would never dare to let Liu Yuan go up in person for this test drive. If something went wrong, it would be a heavy blow to the entire Guo family.
A monstrous genius scientist like Liu Yuan is a precious asset to the Guo family and must not be lost.
What's more, for Xinghai Technology, Liu Yuan is the soul here. If something happens to him, Xinghai Technology will be finished.
"Yes, yes, boss, there will be many opportunities in the future. Let the test drive be done by professionals."
Tang Peng also hurriedly persuaded, and then nodded to the pilot Tang Qing who had been prepared for a long time. The other party understood and walked directly towards the small private anti-gravity aircraft.
Just like a car, it is also equipped with a car key, which can be pressed lightly.
"Tweet~"
Along with the sound, its hatches slowly opened to both sides, revealing the dreamlike interior.
Like a car, it has only two rows with a total of four seats. The two seats in front and the driver's seat on the left have a large central control screen. Several small monitors and several corresponding buttons are arranged around the large screen.
Indicator light.
There is also a steering wheel that can be used to control the left and right directions. At the same time, there are two joysticks on both sides of the steering wheel. The left one is used to control downward flight, and the right one is used to control upward flight.
The control design is still very different from that of an airplane. The control of an airplane is basically done using a joystick and there is no steering wheel at all.
The design of private anti-gravity aircraft takes more into account the driving experience of ordinary people and draws lessons from the control and control modes of cars.
Using the steering wheel for control is also easier to accept and control.
Generally speaking, everything used by the public must be simple and easy to operate. Just like there is a big difference between ordinary cars and professional racing cars. Without training, ordinary people will not be able to drive professional racing cars at all.
Tang Qing sat in the driving position skillfully and fastened the seat belt skillfully. The seat belt of the private anti-gravity aircraft is also the safety system of the fighter plane. At the same time, even the seats are set up according to the fighter plane, with automatic ejection function and automatic ejection.
Bring a parachute.
If you encounter a promotion situation, you can automatically eject and then land safely to the ground via parachute.
Of course, according to the safety settings of private anti-gravity aircraft, this is impossible.
With an anti-gravity engine, if a promotion situation occurs, the aircraft's automatic system will shut down the aero-engine as soon as possible, and then it will land on the ground under the control of the anti-gravity engine, or it will directly float in the air and wait for rescue.
After completing the safety work, Tang Qing put on the radio communication headset, made a ready gesture towards Tang Peng, and then lightly pressed the button, and the hatch slowly closed.
"Ready to take off!"
Tang Peng nodded and immediately gave the order.
When everyone heard this, they immediately moved to the control and command center and began to get busy, preparing to test and track the relevant data of the aircraft.
"Control center, control center, request for takeoff No. 001~"
Tang Qing shook the steering wheel of the aircraft. After being a pilot for many years, this was the first time he drove an aircraft as if he were driving a car. This gave him the illusion that he was driving not an aircraft but a car.
"Permission to take off, permission to take off~"
Soon, a voice sounded from the earphones.
"No. 001 is ready to take off, No. 001 is ready to take off!"
Tang Qing gently started the aircraft, and relevant data was displayed on the large central control screen.
The flight altitude is 0 meters.
Flight speed 0 meters/S.
Flight mode; low altitude and low speed mode.
The signal connection is normal.
The satellite signal connection is normal and the positioning, tracking and navigation system is normal.
Number of aircraft within 10,000 meters: 0
It is very simple compared to airplanes.
Just like driving, Tang Qing drove the aircraft slowly out of the warehouse and into the open space outside. He came directly to the large open space specially used for aircraft testing, and then stopped quietly.
"Control center, control center~"
"No. 001 is ready, No. 001 is ready, request to take off, request to take off~"
A takeoff application was submitted to the control center again.
"Permission to take off, please take off immediately."
Soon, the voice from the control command center sounded in the earphones.
"take off!"
Tang Qing held the steering wheel tightly and gently pressed down the joystick on the right side of the steering wheel. With a slight vibration, the aircraft began to slowly lift off.
Flying height 1 meter~
Flying height 10 meters~
Flying altitude 100 meters~
Soon, the aircraft reached an altitude of 100 meters. Although the wind at high altitude was not small, under the anti-gravity engine, it was very stable with only slight shaking.
"Control center, control center, request No. 001 for low-altitude and low-speed flight mode test~"
"Testing is allowed and relevant flights will be conducted immediately."
After receiving the order, Tang Qing also began to control the aircraft. With a gentle step on the accelerator with his right foot, the aircraft began to fly at an altitude of 100 meters.
At the same time, relevant instructions appeared on the large central control screen, requiring Tang Qing to carry out safety-related instructions for flying.
Tang Qing was flying the aircraft in the sky. The speed was not very fast, which was about the same speed as a car. After reaching 25 meters per second, the speed could no longer be increased and was limited by the intelligent control system of the aircraft.
Flying is similar to that of a car. There is no way to compare with the driving experience of a fighter jet. You cannot turn over and can only control the direction of flight while controlling the climb or descent. This is already the most difficult way of flying.
In fact, it is not much different from driving a car, except that one is on the road and the other is flying in the sky.
"It's not interesting~"
Tang Qing flew the aircraft for more than ten minutes, and suddenly felt that it was no longer interesting. He was used to flying fighter planes and used to the various maneuvers of fighter planes. The driver's license was calm and had no flavor at all. There was nothing special about it.
More driving experience.
"Request No. 001 for high-altitude and high-speed flight testing~"
"High-altitude and high-speed flight testing is allowed~"
Soon, Tang Qing began to apply for high-altitude and high-speed testing.
The aircraft was controlled to fly upwards, and the speed quickly reached 1,000 meters.
"High-altitude and high-speed flight mode activated~"
The aircraft's intelligent control system automatically unlocks the high-altitude and high-speed flight mode.
Tang Qing immediately became energetic when he heard this.
While continuing to control the climbing height, he also started to step on the accelerator. As he stepped on the accelerator, he could clearly feel the aircraft shaking slightly, and the auxiliary power systems and two small aero engines located at the upper ends of both sides started.
Orange-red tail flames began to spit out, a familiar pushing feeling came, and the speed began to soar.
While Tang Qing controlled the flight, he also looked at the speed displayed on the large central control screen.
30 meters per second, 35 meters per second, 40 meters per second~
"This acceleration is really slow. It is really an aircraft designed for ordinary people. When can this snail-like acceleration be accelerated to five times the speed of sound?"
Tang Qing stepped on the accelerator and was immediately speechless. He wanted to experience the ultra-high-speed flight of the anti-gravity aircraft, but found that he stepped on the accelerator, but the speed was still very slow, and the feeling of acceleration was ordinary.
It's not as oppressive as the feeling of accelerating in a fighter jet.
In fact, this is also a security protection setting.
There are two flight modes for aircraft. One is the low-altitude and low-speed flight mode. In areas below 1,000 meters, it can only fly at low speeds, and its speed is even worse than that of a car.
When its flight altitude exceeds 1,000 meters, it can switch to high-altitude, high-speed flight mode. In this mode, the small aeroengine with auxiliary power can start and enter high-speed flight mode.
At the same time, in order to prevent overloading from causing things that passengers cannot bear, many settings have been made in terms of acceleration and deceleration. When flying at high altitudes and at high speeds, only uniform step-like acceleration and deceleration are possible.
That is to say, although it can be very fast, its acceleration is limited. Even if you step on the accelerator, its speed still cannot increase to the limit speed all at once.
It must be accelerated step by step.
For example, after accelerating to 100 for a period of time, you can continue to accelerate to 200. The same is true for accelerating from 200 to 300. You will not be able to accelerate from 100 to 100 in just a few seconds.
Five times the speed of supersonic speed.
The pressure generated by such acceleration is simply not something that ordinary people can bear. Only pilots who have undergone long-term professional training can withstand such acceleration.
Ordinary people may fall into coma directly under such a terrifying acceleration, and their lives may even be in danger.
Therefore, Wang Chen, Sun Tzu Long, and Tang Peng also spent a lot of thought on acceleration and deceleration. After rigorous testing, the acceleration that ordinary people can withstand is limited and must be controlled within a reasonable and safe range.
This principle is actually very easy to understand. Without the protection of staged and stepped acceleration and deceleration, it may only take more than ten seconds to accelerate from 0 to five times the speed of sound.
Accelerating to such a terrifying speed in such a short period of time creates a very terrible acceleration, which will form a huge overload pressure and put huge pressure on the human body. This pressure will make it difficult to breathe, cause blood to flow backwards, and cause people to faint.
Even death.
But if it takes more than ten minutes to accelerate from 0 to five times the speed of sound, one step at a time, then the acceleration generated by the whole process will be much smaller, a lot, and normal people can completely bear it.
It’s almost the same process as a car accelerating.
In the high altitude, Tang Qing seemed to be very bored while driving the aircraft to perform various flights according to the requirements on the ground. Because the acceleration was too slow, for him as a pilot, there was no difficulty or pressure at all.
, it is very easy to drive.
He even had the energy to pay attention to other aspects of the aircraft, taking a closer look at the large central control screen, which in addition to displaying altitude, speed and level conditions.
It also displays the battery capacity, fuel level, and the duration of continuous flight. It clearly shows how long you can fly at high speeds.
Like right now, because it has just taken off not long ago, it clearly shows that the aircraft has enough power to fly for 12 hours, and the fuel capacity can support it to fly for 10 hours.
In addition, there is a three-dimensional space map, which clearly shows that in the surrounding three-dimensional space of 10,000 meters, only this aircraft can clearly show the flight trajectory.
“You can actually drive intelligently~”
Soon, Tang Qing discovered an interesting thing. This aircraft actually had an automatic intelligent driving mode. That is to say, as long as you set the destination, you can lie down and fly there by itself, as long as you have enough power and power.
Just enough oil.
"It's really a thoughtfully designed aircraft for ordinary people. It's so simple and mindless that it only requires some simple flight training."
"Popularize some relevant flight knowledge and know some flight rules and systems. It is easier, safer and more brainless than driving on the ground."
While flying, Tang Qing also summarized. I originally thought this would be more troublesome. In fact, scientists and engineers have already considered many issues clearly and made a simple, brainless design. You don't even need to
Driving, the automatic intelligent driving system will control the aircraft to fly to the destination.
It's simpler, no-brainer, and more comfortable than driving a car.
PS: I have always felt that the more advanced technology is, the more mindless and simple the products produced will be. Nowadays, you still need a driver’s license to drive. I think future aircraft will not require a driver’s license. They will basically drive automatically. What do you think?
