No matter how beautiful the picture was, it was not as shocking as seeing the actual aircraft in front of Chang Wanyu.
Standing in front of the aircraft, Chang Wanyu was only as tall as its hover bracket.
Now, the streamlined shell of the aircraft was opened in many places, revealing the complex electrical circuits inside. Even the support points of the four ducted fans had been opened. A few older engineers were standing on top of the escalator, meticulously installing the equipment.
"Can I take a few pictures?" Chang Wanyu asked in a probing tone. "I want to show it to my dad."
Ye Qing smiled and shook his head. "Let's wait for our engineers to finish installing it. Its internal structure is still a secret."
Chang Wanyu did not hesitate. She nodded and asked if she could take a look inside, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
This request was naturally agreed. The interior of the aircraft had now been renovated according to the drawings. Not only Chang Wanyu, but Ye Qing also wanted to go up and take a look.
The aircraft was divided into three levels. After the rear hatch was opened, it led directly to the first level of the cargo hold. However, the second and third levels of the aircraft had independent closed cabins. The staff could not directly enter the cabin, but they could open the rear hatch and perform maintenance on the living equipment in the rear cabin.
Walking down the escalator to the second level of the cabin, the two of them saw a cabin layout different from any public transportation.
The top was pure white with a sci-fi vibe, and there was a roof with a luggage compartment. The roof of the cabin did not have the structure of traditional lights and air conditioning vents. The lights and the roof were integrated into one. The vents were hidden and could be adjusted through the seats.
The second level of the cabin was nearly two meters high. Passengers below 1.95 meters did not need to bend down. Girls like Chang Wanyu had to stretch out their arms to reach the roof. Fortunately, the luggage compartment was concentrated above the seats. The passengers only needed to reach out and open it.
The floor was made of a light gray soft material, which was harder than the carpet.
The most attractive thing was the seats. In the past, the airplane seats looked no different from ordinary train seats. They were usually dark blue cloth jackets, and the seats were thick and bulky.
However, the internal structure of the airplane seats was more special. First of all, it needed to be light and portable. At the same time, the material had to have a good flame-retardant effect. Also, it had to be able to withstand an instantaneous impact of more than 15G without the seat breaking.
These were all the blood and tears summed up by historical air accidents. In 1990, a Columbia Airlines flight crashed because of running out of fuel. The plane crashed into a mountain, and the violent impact caused the plane to break into two. This accident caused more than seventy deaths, but at the same time, because the angle of the crash was not so bad, eighty-five passengers survived.
In the end, the crash investigators found that the plane's body and floor were still intact, but the seats of the dead passengers had fallen off. They had pinned their hopes on the seatbelts, but they did not expect that the seats connected to the seatbelts were completely destroyed. The bottom support legs broke, throwing them out.
In the early days of airline seat accidents, there were tragedies where the fire quickly spread to the passenger cabin due to the flammable material, and at the same time, strong poisonous gas was released.
Therefore, modern airline seats were made of flammable polyurethane foam with smoke suppression properties. The back of the seat was made of mesh metal, and the legs of the seat were fixed with X-type structure with tensile energy absorbers. When a collision occurs, it can absorb the impact from multiple directions.
Technology could not achieve the best of both comfort and safety. Almost all the passengers who participated in the survey complained about the seats on the plane, especially the seats in the economy class. They believed that the seat layout of the plane was too dense, and the height was uncomfortable. The angle of the back of the plane seat was small, and it was very uncomfortable to sit on.
The seats on the delicate aircraft used a 3/4/3 layout. The appearance was light white, and the back of the chair was an S-shaped curve. The shape of the back of the chair was the closest to the physiological curve of the human spine. It was not like other airplane seats, where the back of the chair was almost a straight line.
The light white seat was very thin. Chang Wanyu tried to poke the surface of the chair with her finger. There was a kind of elasticity similar to skin?
"These seats use liquid printing technology. This technology is the latest invention of Monster Industries." Ye Qing invited Chang Wanyu to sit on the chair and said, "The thickness of an ordinary airplane seat is close to five centimeters. Our seat is 1.2 centimeters thick, but the safety and comfort are greatly improved."
"In addition, it has independent leg support and electric adjustment function. The seat belt also has an automatic release design to prevent people from being unable to correctly unbuckle the seat belt because of nervousness when they are in an emergency evacuation. "
The airplane seat belt was different from the car's push-button seat belt. It was like a can, requiring passengers to open the buckle with their hands. Passengers with experience of flying were fine, but passengers who were flying for the first time often had to study for half a day.
Sitting on the soft and comfortable seat, Chang Wanyu stretched her slender legs. She found that the distance between the front seat and her was even wider than the boss seat in the Mercedes-Benz 600 that she often sat in.
Wasn't this too extravagant?
In order to arrange as many seats as possible on the plane, the airline could reduce the distance between two seats to seventy-four centimeters. A passenger with a height of 1.8 meters sitting inside could only put his knees against the back of the seat of the passenger in front of him. It was very crowded.
Business class, which was almost twice as expensive as economy class, usually had a seat distance of eighty-six centimeters.
Don't underestimate this twelve centimeter gap. With this twelve centimeter gap, passengers could casually cross their legs.
What about the seats on the delicate aircraft?
According to Chang Wanyu's experience, the distance between the seats was definitely one meter. If the passengers sitting inside wanted to go to the bathroom, they didn't need to ask the passengers outside to get up and give up their seats.
Each seat had an independent armrest with an electronic knob. The passenger could easily change the seat into a recliner mode. This was clearly a treatment only available in first class.
No, even first class couldn't enjoy such a sci-fi and comfortable seat.
Coupled with the overall technological style of the cabin, passengers would have a stunning enjoyment of flying in the 22nd century.
If the seats were luxurious enough, then the bathroom provided for passengers could only be described as luxurious.
The size of an ordinary aircraft bathroom was comparable to the glass cabinet of a self-service ATM machine, and a toilet and sink were installed in the large space of the glass cabinet. The passengers could barely turn around inside. If it was a big fat person, it would be difficult to turn around.
Claustrophobic and narrow.
The bathroom in the delicate aircraft was no different from the bathroom space of a star hotel, except that there was no separate bathroom.
The passengers inside, not to mention normal use, even two people sleeping on the floor would be spacious.
This was just the treatment of the economy class. There was also a first-class cabin for six people on the delicate aircraft. After visiting the first-class cabin, Chang Wanyu couldn't calm down for a long time. She felt like she was dreaming. From the familiar Boeing Airbus aircraft, she suddenly jumped to the delicate aircraft of the 22nd century. She couldn't accept it.
… …
For two days, Chang Wanyu and the Master Craftsman engineers were immersed in this steel factory building.
She watched as the engineers finished assembling the power and energy system of the delicate aircraft, as if she was looking at an exquisite piece of technology.
When all the hatch covers were closed by the engineers, the delicate aircraft in front of her had officially been announced offline.
It could enter the test flight stage.
