Chapter 210 First Flight
"God Prisoner!"
Although Su Yi was wearing a cloak and his face was covered by black mist, these researchers were still able to recognize Su Yi's identity from the difference in rank.
One by one, they put down the materials in their hands, knelt down on one knee, and greeted them respectfully.
Su Yi just nodded and didn't pay much attention to it. His eyes were completely attracted by the plane in the assembly workshop.
The shape of the aircraft is very instant, and the painting is blue.
The propeller is at the nose, which is a pull-in propeller aircraft with a length of about 6 meters, a wingspan of about 9 meters, and a height of about 2.8 meters.
After taking a cursory glance, Su Yi pointed to one of the researchers and said, "Introduce me."
"Yes, God Prisoner." The person who was named was very excited, and immediately began to explain without thinking.
First of all, the aircraft is a single-seat biplane pull-in propeller aircraft.
It means that only one person can ride, and the wings are double-layered wings of the fuselage, connected by alloy rods.
The pull-in type means that the propeller is in front of the engine and is pulling the aircraft forward.
In theory, the aircraft has a maximum flight speed of 280 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of about 790 kilometers.
In addition, it is the engine, which uses a self-developed radial piston engine. This aircraft is equipped with a single engine.
"Where's the weapon?" Su Yi stood beside the plane, looking up and down, but didn't see any weapons on board.
Hearing this, the researcher who explained before laughed a few times, and said: "This is not equipped yet, God Prisoner, we have reserved a place, but this is just a test machine, and it has to be equipped before it is equipped with weapons. Test flight."
"What are you going to pretend?" Su Yi asked again.
"Machine guns. If the test flight goes well, the next step is to permanently install two machine guns on the fuselage."
machine gun……
Su Yi's eyes twitched. Although this thing is not as good as a missile, its lethality is also quite terrifying. For this era, if a machine gun appears on the battlefield, killing people is basically like mowing grass. A swoop can wipe out a large number of enemies .
"Okay, I get it, I haven't tested the flight yet, so I'll do it." Shrugging helplessly, Su Yi volunteered.
If it goes well, he will be the first pilot in human history, and he will be a celebrity for thousands of years.
However, his eagerness to try surprised a certain kind of personnel.
Olbia even said hastily: "Boss, it's too dangerous for you to come in person. If something goes wrong with this plane, it will be troublesome."
"What's the trouble? If something goes wrong, I'll come down by myself at worst." Su Yi said strangely.
Even if the plane exploded in midair, nothing would happen to him.
Hearing this, Olbia's pretty face was startled, and then she remembered that Su Yi was not an ordinary person, and immediately blushed.
"Okay, tell me how to take off and land." Su Yi waved his hand and continued pointing at the person just now.
"This... God Prisoner, the take-off of a fighter plane is relatively simple. You just need to align the centerline of the runway, fully open the thrust, and then look at the speed instrument panel. When the needle passes the green line, you can pull the nose up. This process It will last for a while, and then it will fly two to three hundred meters above the ground, and you can retract the landing gear."
After a pause, he said again: "Then land, mainly a slow glide landing, aligned with the centerline of the runway, with an elevation angle of 8 to 10 degrees, 200 to 300 meters above the ground, put down the landing gear, you just need to Just pay attention to deceleration. Because the final stage of landing basically relies on deceleration to reduce the lift of the aircraft."
Su Yi listened very seriously. After all, it was his first time flying, so it would be bad if the plane was damaged.
After ten minutes of detailed inquiries, Su Yi was officially ready to board the plane.
This test aircraft has no cockpit cover, only an oxygen device and a pair of sun visors. One is to prevent the pilot from hypoxia during high-speed flight, and the other is to prevent the pilot from being blinded by the sun.
Su Yi quickly climbed into the cabin, put on his eyes, an oxygen device, and then a pair of gloves, and then pressed the engine switch according to the previous researchers' instructions.
Suddenly, the roar of the engine sounded.
It has to be said that this kind of engine is very noisy when it is running, which is similar to the noise made by a tractor.
Su Yi glanced at the dashboard, held the steering stick, and began to turn the nose of the plane, heading towards the runway.
Because it is a desert area, this runway is covered with a thick layer of cement.
The fighter plane drove out of the hangar, and it took a long time to enter the runway. Then, Su Yi began to accelerate.
The acceleration of the plane can't be considered fast, at least some sports cars that Su Yi knows better are far from being comparable.
Accelerating from the entrance to the position where the end of the runway was about to be reached, Su Yi raised the speed to cross the green line. At this moment, Su Yi decisively pulled up the steering lever, and the nose of the aircraft immediately tilted up.
Pulled by the propeller in front of the nose, the plane began to climb, and the rotating propeller quickly brought the plane into the air.
"It's really flying!"
Olbia covered her mouth with a look of shock.
This is not a fruit ability, but a machine created by relying on human's own wisdom.
Although I have come into contact with this plane many times, but only this time, Olbia was moved to tears.
The era when humans can fly has come!
Humans can fly planes and soar in the sky only after pilot training.
Clap clap!
A group of researchers applauded with all their strength and sent each other
congratulations.
As the R & D and production staff of the first test machine, they spent about four months, almost without eating or drinking, to complete the test machine.
From the structure of the airframe, to the engine, to the decision of fuel, etc., the complexity is unimaginable.
Today, the test flight was finally completed, and the God Prisoner personally drove it, which is of great significance.
"It's too early to be happy, you guys." At this time, the chairman of the committee said in a deep voice: "Flying is only the first step. Next, there are tests of the maximum flight speed, altitude, and maximum voyage distance, etc. ...These data are very important, don't be distracted by any of you, record it, it will be helpful for future mass production."
"yes!"
Not to mention the people on the ground, Su Yi felt very good flying the fighter plane. ..
