Chapter 2308: Chapter 2128: Unable to Calm Down for a Long Time
“How much?”
“Let me take a look?”
“…”
Everyone crowded around.
Then.
They saw the numbers on the screen start rising.
Three hundred six.
…
Three hundred seven.
…
Three hundred eight.
…
Four hundred.
“Whoa!”
They were amazed. A helicopter reaching speeds of four hundred was almost unheard of, and it seemed to be accelerating further, breaking through four hundred three in less than five minutes.
Four hundred four.
…
Four hundred five.
…
Four hundred six.
Then the speed stabilized, maintaining.
“That’s incredible!”
“So fast.”
“It actually broke through four hundred six.”
“..”
Even though they were well-trained, they couldn’t help but be dazzled by this number. Four hundred sixty kilometers per hour; only one model in the helicopter field exceeds it.
Moreover.
That model has yet to see service.
“Wasn’t it said to be very large? How can the speed be this fast? It’s unscientific. Is this the cruising speed, or is it already at the maximum speed?”
Maximum.
Usually, it’s a bit higher than cruising.
Therefore.
If it’s only cruising, it means its maximum speed can break through five hundred kilometers per hour. Such a speed is indeed quite terrifying.
“Not sure.”
“Maybe…”
“Do what?”
“Ask them.” Since they only authorized the airspace here, there weren’t detailed parameters for the aircraft. Only after testing would there be documentation.
“Could do.”
“A photo would be best.”
“Mm-hmm!”
“…”
They were extremely curious about its appearance.
However.
This plan was ultimately not implemented, instead opting for a different approach.
Five minutes later.
Their satellite image arrived. Applying for its use wasn’t easy, but it’s not impossible as it usually sits idle.
“Wow!”
“It’s really big!”
“A beast.”
“Imposing.”
“Finally understand why it flies so fast. Four propellers, four turbojet engines, a total of eight power outputs, no wonder it can go this fast.”
“Awesome!”
“This design is so bold.”
“Indeed!”
“…”
Looking at the shape, they realized how ’lavish’ it was. Eight power units, though specific parameters were unknown, didn’t look lacking.
“Really wish to see it up close.”
“Mm-hmm!”
“Dream on.”
“We are a confidential unit. There’s no way planes can come over easily, but we might go for an observation when they have a public testing in a few days.”
“Unfortunately, we can’t go.”
“…”
They all knew this event was nothing they could join.
However.
The person in charge here had an idea; bringing people for observation didn’t seem a big deal. With little going on in winter, it could be an opportunity to learn.
Yes.
It can be done.
…
Base.
Control tower.
“Director, air traffic control wants to come for observation in a few days.” When receiving the news, the person in charge quickly reported. It wasn’t a big deal.
He could agree himself.
However.
Tang Qing was here, and he had to seek his opinion.
“Oh?”
“Good.”
Tang Qing smiled and accepted. In fact, the military would also send people in a few days. Although the helicopter’s plan was bold, it did catch their attention.
Additionally.
The Ministry of Public Security would also send representatives.
After all.
One of its uses is firefighting. Although whether Tang Qing would sell them or not didn’t matter, they should invite them; having orders would be good, otherwise, it didn’t matter.
Anyway.
We don’t rely on this to make a living.
Then.
Tang Qing continued watching the screen.
At this moment.
In full-speed state, the whole aircraft’s shape changed. At over one hundred kilometers per hour, four cantilevers were still in an X shape.
Three hundred kilometers.
The fuselage became ’wood.’
Four hundred kilometers.
Oops!
Slightly different from ’wood,’ the horizontal line of ’wood’ gradually transformed into ’^,’ only with a smaller angle. The main reason: to reduce drag.
In the atmosphere.
Low-speed is okay, but once the speed increases, air resistance must be considered. At a speed of four hundred kilometers per hour, shape causes significant drag.
Therefore.
This design was made.
…
An hour later.
Dual-power testing concluded.
Perfect.
During this time, no faults occurred. What’s next? Still flying, following the same path but with additional failure-type tests.
Like.
The first item:
“Left front rotor power failure.”
Then.
They saw on the screen that the aircraft tilted slightly, losing some stability, but quickly regained its posture, though the rotation speed was slower than before.
Because.
By internally connecting the drive shaft, the right-front power was dispersed; one engine driving two propellers would naturally be slower.
Next.
The second item:
Lost connection with the right-front drive shaft.
Switch to the left rear.
Broke again.
Switch to the right rear.
In short.
According to design, a single engine could drive four rotors simultaneously, meaning even if three broke, it didn’t matter; only the speed would be markedly slower.
Can only ensure no crash, but a quick landing is necessary.
Furthermore.
Aside from rotors, turbojet engines can play an important role at this time. With eight power units, their mutual switching and support pose significant challenges.
However.
No matter how difficult.
In the face of human wisdom, it can be conquered. This aircraft, theoretically, as long as there is still output from two separate units on a cantilever.
Won’t crash like a kite cut loose, and such situations are almost impossible, unless being struck by weapons.
In that case.
It’s completely force majeure.
…
An hour later.
Base.
Six aircraft completed complex power switching in various power failure scenarios. When returning to base, only two rotors were spinning.
Moreover.
Only one engine was working; the other seven were all ’faulty.’ Although data showed the pressure on that single engine was immense.
Yet.
It still persisted, not exceeding the critical limit.
Eventually.
It safely landed on the helipad.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
Control tower.
A wave of applause, everyone excited. This was a complete performance test; the result could only be described as — perfect. Such complex environments can be overcome.
Eight power units.
Seven failed.
But could still land safely. This is a first in human aircraft design history, arguably creating history in a year.
Then.
Tang Qing’s voice rang out:
“Very good.”
“This test went smoothly. It’s mealtime, everyone go have lunch first. Maintenance team perform a checkup, practical tests begin in the afternoon.”
Subsequently.
People in the control tower excitedly left.
Logistics team went up.
Examination.
Refuel.
Then transported those attachments from the factory for the afternoon rehearsal content. Soon, Tang Qing received a report: all six aircraft had no issues.
Regarding this.
Tang Qing wasn’t surprised.
No joke.
The equipment is made with the finest craftsmanship and technology by fighters in space, having undergone thousands of experiments, it’s very sturdy.
Under normal operation, it’s hard to break them.
…
Unbeknownst to Tang Qing.
In a distant air force base and Beijing, many people who watched this drill via satellite couldn’t calm their hearts for a long time.
