As citizens of Hoorn Republic, the engineers of this glider base of Hoorn Republic felt so happy that they could witness so many miracles related to glider in such a short period.
Several months ago, Zhang Tie created a miracle by running here. Today, Zhang Tie created a miracle by sitting here. Compared to the first miracle, the second miracle was more exciting.
"Can we reduce the weight of this man-powered plane?" Zhang Tie asked those experts of Hoorn Republic the moment he got off the man-powered plane.
"We've already used very expensive light alloy to make this man-powered plane. Although its look is similar to that of WindTalker, actually, we've made a lot of optimizations on the internal and external structural components and materials. Because of these optimizations, we could add variable gears and some control mechanisms inside this man-powered plane and reduce its weight to 670 kg. This is already our limit." An expert explained.
Through this expert's explanation, Zhang Tie knew that the Hoorn Republic, a country that loved flying, had long proposed the concept of human-powered airplane. Many people dreamed about providing a driving force for the glider by riding bicycles so as to turn the glider into a real human-powered airplane.
Actually, all the people who proposed this idea failed. There were two main reasons. First, the human-powered plane was too heavy. Almost nobody could make such a human-powered plane fly in the sky. Second, even if a very light human-powered plane could be made, its flight performance would be too weak. It could even match a glider. People in the Hoorn Republic didn't think that such a human-powered plane was a plane.
A few years ago. The Republic of Hoorn once made a man-powered plane using canvas and some light alloy materials. The weight of the man-powered plane was controlled within 150 kg. In the test flight, that man-powered plane successfully flew 30 km in the height of 5 m above the ground.
After the failure of that light man-powered plane, all the engineers and glider enthusiasts in the Hoorn Republic drew a conclusion — — the man-powered plane in this age must be based on excellent lift-drag ratio and aerodynamic layout. It should be based on excellent lift-drag ratio and aerodynamic layout. However, the weight of a glider meeting these conditions was generally above 700 kg. To drive and drive such a human-powered aircraft continuously, it had a very high requirement on the pilot. The pilot must be able to drive the glider. After taking that secret book, he injected his spiritual energy into it. In a split second, some Chinese words appeared in Zhang Tie's mind — — "Five-elements Ground-look Sutra".

PS: Thank you, Book God, for your support to Tiger!
Just like all Chinese people, his wife and daughter were on leave for the past few days. It was just that their leave came earlier. On the 29th, his wife applied for leave from the company, and his daughter applied for leave from the kindergarten. His wife wanted to go back to her parents' home, and his daughter wanted to experience nature with her friends. Thus, Tiger was forced to be a strong man. The travel plan was to stagger the peak hours to save as much time as possible on the road.
