The two test pilots from Monster Industries followed closely behind. The two pilots brought by Chang Yuyue looked at each other and followed into the cabin.
So what if they risked their lives to experience this kind of aircraft?
What's more, it was only a test on the sea. Even if the aircraft crashed, the worst-case scenario might not necessarily happen.
Just when everyone thought that the pilot was in position and could close the door for takeoff, the young president of Monster Industries put his hand on the escalator.
"Mr. Ye?" Chang Yuyue was shocked by his move.
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall. Chang Yuyue was not a gentleman, but he felt that he still had a lot of good times to live. Mr. Ye should have a lot of good times. How dare he put himself in this kind of flight test that no one was sure of?
"Mr. Chang, do you want to come up together?" Ye Qing gestured at him.
Chang Yuyue wanted to find a reason to refuse, but since Ye Qing had taken the lead, and there were also test pilots and invited professors from their company on the aircraft, wouldn't it be a total loss of face if he tried to be slippery at this time? So he could only grit his teeth and step on the escalator.
Chang Wanyu also slipped in. When the escalator closed, the monitor at the top of the cabin quickly transmitted the surveillance footage of the cockpit and the external surveillance footage of the aircraft.
In the cockpit, the two Master Metal Experts sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the two test pilots brought by Chang Yuyue stood behind them cautiously.
The cockpit used an electronic crystal instrument structure, and only the attitude meter and compass were backed up by mechanical dials. It used a four-axis drive, so the piloting method was, of course, quite different from ordinary aircraft, so the two pilots were a little confused.
The two Master Metal Experts skillfully flipped the various control switches and calmly said, "Prepare to start the engine."
"Fasten your seat belts, everyone." Ye Qing called out. Chang Yuyue and the others woke up from their daze and buckled their seat belts on their waists in a panic.
"Woo … woo … woo …"
Suddenly, the sound of a strong wind came from outside the porthole. They had never heard this kind of sound before. It was like a gust of wind whistling through a north-south cave. In less than five seconds, the whimpering wind turned into a roar. They looked out of the porthole in surprise, only to find that the entire hangar had been blown by the wind. Everything that was not fixed on the ground was swaying in the wind.
Then, heaven and earth began to shake, and the scenery changed.
This huge metal monster, which was more than 24 meters long, flew up along with the wind. The scene of the hangar outside the porthole quickly disappeared and turned into the factory building outside. A few seconds later, it turned into the blue sky, white clouds, and the blue sea in the distance.
"Fifty meters."
The Master Metal Expert began to report the aircraft parameters.
Perfect takeoff, Ye Qing silently praised in his heart. Compared to traditional aircraft that instantly accelerated and raised the nose of the aircraft at a high angle, the take-off method made the passengers feel dizzy and uncomfortable. When the delicate aircraft took off, it would not cause any physical discomfort to the passengers. Even the noise from the fan was controlled to an acceptable range.
Ye Qing even felt that his voice could be louder. That way, it would be more exciting.
"This … is vertical takeoff!" The two professors' eyes were faintly overflowing with tears. "With … with this technology, Osprey is nothing."
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows and agreed with the views of the two professors.
"Two hundred meters altitude."
The Master Metal Expert once again reported the altitude. At this time, half of the Longxitan factory could be seen outside the porthole, and even the low atoll further away in the bay could be clearly seen. Through the display screen, the people in the cabin could also see that the four ducted fans that were constantly ejecting air had begun to tilt counterclockwise.
"Is it going to accelerate?" The thought just emerged in Chang Yuyue's mind, and the sea below quickly retreated.
Not only was it retreating, but the delicate aircraft was also constantly rising.
"Five hundred meters!"
"One thousand meters!"
"Two thousand meters!"
The delicate aircraft fully demonstrated what "not enough lift, but enough power" meant. Obviously, its outer structure did not have two pairs of huge wings, only the tail was used to adjust the direction, and by the way, it was a full-motion vertical tail. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to form a pressure difference between the upper and lower wing surfaces to keep it flying.
However, it was flying steadily, dragging four long streams of air behind it as it soared higher into the sky.
When the altitude reading of five thousand meters appeared on the display, Chang Yuyue and the two professors had long forgotten the danger in Java. They had become novel teenagers who took a plane for the first time, lying outside the porthole with their eyes wide open.
"Artifact, this is an artifact that can change the global aviation pattern." The two professors shouted.
"We're about to fly to the high seas, so exciting." Chang Yuyue's face was flushed with drunkenness. "If we use this kind of aircraft to carry passengers, which aircraft in the world can be our opponent?"
"Beep ~"
At this moment, there was an abrupt static noise from the speakers in the cabin.
"This is Chongming Airport, the Air Force Shang Hai Command Post. Unidentified aircraft located at latitude and longitude, flying at an altitude of five thousand meters, immediately report their identity. My command post detected your unidentified aircraft, illegally leaving the airspace of Jiangnan Province. "
"Your unidentified aircraft, immediately follow the scheduled route provided by us."
"And accept our inspection."
“This
is
the
Chongming
Airport … "
First, a serious Mandarin came from the speaker. After shouting in Mandarin, it was changed to English, and the taste was equally serious. Then, the excited atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became cold. Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Ye Qing.
"Mr. Ye … You didn't report this flight?" Chang Yuyue wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"We clearly reported to Zhongyun Airport. Maybe the route is a little off, but it's not enough to make Shang Hai Air Transport Institute go to war, right?" Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders and said with some confusion, "Even if we call through the radio, it's Zhongyun Airport Tower that calls us."
There were three registered aircraft under Monster Industries. Naturally, they knew that aircraft needed to be reported. Therefore, before takeoff, the company had already informed Zhongyun Airport that the company had a flight opportunity to conduct flight tests. The route was to fly two laps around Zhongyun City.
"Wow, what a cool feeling. Even the Air Transport Institute is greeting us. How should we reply?" Chang Wanyu felt that this flight test flight was more exciting than bungee jumping and roller coaster.
"Unidentified aircraft, you, are you going to refuse to reply to us?" At this moment, the person on the radio was angry. The dissatisfaction was transmitted to everyone's ears through the distorted electric current. It felt very unreal.
This group of people seemed to have been treated as enemy pilots …
"Cough, cough."
Ye Qing hurried to the cockpit and replied through the radio, "This is a civilian aircraft belonging to Monster Industries. We are testing the performance of this aircraft."
"Monster Industries?" When they heard familiar Mandarin, the serious mood on the other end of the radio eased a little. "Please report the aircraft number."
"New aircraft, no serial number."
"…"
The sound of the electric current was still, but there was no sound of speaking. This meant that the other party pressed the button to talk, but didn't know what to say. Then, there was a faint sound from the other side. It seemed that there were other people at the command post having a radio conversation.
"This is' Gray Wolf. 'Reporting to the command post, I'm close to the location of the unidentified aircraft."
