Any introduction in words was not as convincing as experiencing it in person.
What's more, Ye Qing's performance was very modest.
Therefore, after introducing the basic parameters of the aircraft, the warehouse of the exquisite aircraft was loaded with an additional 20 tons of goods.
These 20 tons of goods were a gift from Chongming Air Force Base to Monster Industries.
The gift was not expensive. They were all rice, canned meat, canned fruit, and chocolate moved out of the base's warehouse. However, the 20 tons were a little scary. On the one hand, these things were to increase the weight of the aircraft to test its performance. On the other hand, they had invited the aircraft from Zhongyun here, so the base had to apologize more or less.
Under the escort of two fighter jets, the exquisite aircraft soared into the sky.
This time, Chongming Air Force Base did not have to be nervous. On the contrary, they were full of relaxation and pride.
Perhaps in a few years, this aircraft, which they suspected to be alien technology, would be stationed in their air force base.
On the aircraft, Elder Zhang walked into the cockpit of the exquisite aircraft with the help of two officers.
Hua Xia Air Force had a very interesting place. If you looked at the resumes of the people in charge of each base and the previous big shots of the air force of each major theater. You would find that most of these people had been pilots when they were young.
Those who could be pilots were all good seedlings that were one in a million.
These pilots were officers after graduating from aviation school. Their brains and physical fitness were one in a million. It was not surprising that they were able to become senior officers of the air force in the later stages.
Therefore, many people thought that senior officers of the air force had to be pilots so that they could be experts.
When Elder Zhang was young, he was naturally also a pilot.
At that time, he drove a propeller transport plane. Now that he was old, his knowledge and understanding of aircraft was getting better and better.
In his opinion, the cockpit of the aircraft in front of him already had the top control technology of the world's civil aviation. This was not only reflected in the fully electronic dashboard and telex control, but also in the dazzling computer auxiliary functions.
Not to mention the propeller transport plane that Elder Zhang drove at that time, the telex system at that time only existed in myths. All the operations had to be done by hand. When a plane was driven down, the pilot wished that he could bring a hammer on the next flight and use it to hit various control levers.
The modern civil aircraft driving system was no different from the military transport plane, and Elder Zhang was also very familiar with it.
But here, Elder Zhang saw many different things.
For example, when the aircraft had just climbed to an altitude of three thousand meters, it happened to be the same height as the cloud layer reported by the tower today. During the process of flying through the clouds, due to the increased humidity, the exterior of the aircraft would easily freeze in cold weather.
Therefore, aircraft engines were equipped with a deicing function, but this function required the pilot to manually activate it.
It was not like driving a car, where you could press a button and turn on the deicing function of the rear windshield. The de-icing of the aircraft engine involved a complete set of engine conditions and the distribution of thermal airflow. The two pilots had to execute and confirm multiple program data before they could turn on this function.
However, when Elder Zhang saw the words [Engine Deicing Automatic Start] appear on the information screen just now, the two drivers didn't even look at it.
When the aircraft rose to a higher altitude, this function was automatically turned off.
Also, in the process of climbing, a traditional passenger plane would need to constantly cooperate with the ground tower and let the tower radar help them confirm the altitude and speed over and over again. Then, the pilot kept adjusting the throttle and the elevator.
In other words, the process of the aircraft rising to the stratosphere was not done in one go, but like climbing a ladder, it climbed up step by step.
During this process, it was not an exaggeration to say that the pilots used their hands and feet to describe it.
However, Elder Zhang saw that the two pilots climbed more easily than driving a car.
They just set the speed at 500 kilometers per hour, and the aircraft started to climb up on its own. During the climbing process, they did not feel any bumps at all. It was the inevitable feeling of weightlessness when the aircraft changed from climbing to flying at a level.
Some people were not familiar with this situation because it was their first time on a plane. When the aircraft suddenly changed from climbing to flying at a level, they would think that the aircraft had fallen and would even subconsciously cry out.
"This aircraft is a little unscientific …" Elder Zhang thought silently in his heart.
He compared the aircraft with the new models of Boeing series. Why was it that when he compared the Boeing series with this aircraft, it was like when he interacted with the old American transport plane pilots during the honeymoon period in the 1980s, the feeling of despair in the face of the huge technological gap between the domestic aircraft and the American aircraft?
It's just that now the desperate party has become the United States.
"This … Colleague, can you get up and let me try to drive this aircraft?" After standing behind and watching for a long time, Elder Zhang was excited, but at the same time, he was also extremely itchy.
The Master Metal Expert looked back coolly and saw that the other party was an old man who walked slowly. He asked directly, "Can you do it?"
"Why not?" Elder Zhang was not convinced. "You are now in a level flying posture. Even if you do nothing, the aircraft's posture will not change. I will just sit on it and make a few turns and change a few heights."
"I can even drive civil aviation aircraft with manually set pitch trim parameters, let alone your fully automatic aircraft."
"Hurry up and get up." Ye Qing slapped the Master Metal Expert on the shoulder. With advanced auxiliary equipment, even a layman would find it difficult to drive an exquisite aircraft, not to mention a veteran like Elder Zhang who has played with almost all of Hua Xia's transport planes.
Sure enough, after Elder Zhang sat down, he didn't even need to ask. He could easily fly the exquisite aircraft from a height of 7,000 meters to 9,000 meters based on the knowledge he had previously observed.
"Xiao Ye, your aircraft is amazing. Even if nothing is changed, it has the ability to perform tasks independently." Elder Zhang's face was red as he drove the aircraft in a circle and laughed heartily: "You see, during its flight, all the operation steps do not need to be guided by the ground tower."
"By the way, Xiao Ye, I am a little curious. Why didn't you install a pair of wings at the beginning of designing this aircraft? "
"Aren't civil aviation aircraft pursuing stability and economy?"
"With the wings, its energy consumption will be reduced."
Ye Qing thought that this was the truth. The exquisite aircraft only had a vertical tail to change direction. If it was equipped with a pair of big wings like an ordinary aircraft, it would generate more lift with the air during flight.
The greater the lift, the greater the energy consumption of the natural engine.
But this blueprint was given by the Monster Factory, and the flight control was also filled by the Monster Factory. After changing it, Ye Qing guaranteed that it would not be able to fly.
This was the truth, but Ye Qing definitely could not say that.
Ye Qing smiled and said: "Elder Zhang, if you add wings, then the vertical take-off and landing function will be gone."
"Without the vertical take-off and landing function, how can it be called an epoch-making aircraft?"
Elder Zhang laughed and said that it was true that it could not have wings. If it had wings, its combat power would not be guaranteed.
"Xiao Ye, don't worry and do it boldly. Our Air Force must have this aircraft. If there are any technical difficulties or any resistance, come and tell us. " The more Elder Zhang flew, the more excited he became. He accidentally drove the exquisite aircraft from 500 kilometers per hour to 200 kilometers per hour. Then, he played a classic tactical evasive action in the air.
"By the way, Xiao Ye, can you produce some aircraft as soon as possible to sell to our Air Force?"
"This aircraft will be a subversive trump card that will change the rules of the use of helicopters and transport aircraft on the battlefield in the future. But military aircraft are different from civil aviation. It needs to add a lot of extra things, such as protective capabilities, electronic equipment, ground firepower, and so on. These things need to be redesigned by technicians. "
