MTL - Rebirth: Fight For Life-Chapter 719 Aeroplane exposed
Chapter 719 Aeroplane exposed
On the Yinglong, Zhao Hongtao and Zhao Ya have not recovered from the shock of reaching space for the first time.
This time it's not a simulation, this time it's real space.
They also went for a walk under the International Space Station according to Gu Song's request.
Of course, don’t forget to take a close look at the magnificence of the Flint Space City.
Even with Yang Haisheng's steadiness, he couldn't help but exclaim: "I can't believe it has been built to this extent."
For this test flight, Yang Haisheng was the commander and Jing Zhigang was the pilot.
Zhao Hongtao and Zhao Ya are the auxiliary drivers sitting in the back row.
is actually an internship to gain experience.
But this is a test flight after all.
It should be said that the two, like Yang Haisheng and Jing Zhigang, also risked their lives.
Now, Yinglong is returning to sail.
This is the final test. Being able to fly up and land back smoothly is a successful and complete test flight.
Yang Haisheng looked at the augmented reality information displayed in the field of vision in the real aerospace helmet, noticed the heartbeats of Zhao Hongtao and Zhao Ya, and thought that they had not experienced much training after all.
So he said, "Don't worry, the current situation is very good."
The driving experience of Yinglong is really unbelievable.
There is no space shuttle in China, Yang Haisheng is in Shenzhou, narrow space, violent shaking, high-load acceleration... These have all been experienced.
In Yinglong, the spacious cockpit is an independent life support system. In case the situation changes, it even has the ability to eject the entire cabin, independently propel and return.
The avionics system of Yinglong fully reflects the computing technology level of Flint Technology. Yang Haisheng felt that the next step would be for Flint Aerospace to export a lot of technology to the two major aerospace groups in these fields.
Like now, there is really not much room for him to manually operate.
Yinglong has its own specially customized low-power quantum computing system and traditional computing system. The design, modification and optimization of the return program made Yang Haisheng feel that he could not come up with a better solution.
The aerodynamic ability and engine ability of the aircraft have been fully felt in the simulation training.
So, he comforted Zhao Hongtao and Zhao Ya easily.
…
On Flint Island, in the command hall, in addition to the team led by Dong Heguang, Jian Yushu, Fan Yuanbai, Director Xiong, Deputy Director Tian, and other astronauts are all here.
On the big screen, there are real-time pictures of each of them, and the monitoring pictures from all angles of the aerospace plane are also passed over.
Hearing Yang Haisheng's voice, Director Xiong couldn't help but smile.
Wang Yang and Liu Yaping are very envious of Zhao Ya.
Deputy Director Tian also said with a smile: "I went to the International Space Station just now, and I think they were quite frightened. Now, I am afraid that all parties are closely watching the return journey of the Yinglong."
Director Xiong echoed: "But Mr. Gu's arrangement is quite exciting."
Jian Yushu smiled and said nothing.
Originally, I only planned to see Flint Space City up close, but Gu Song called and said that NASA was so noisy these two days, so let them calm down.
So seeing that the fuel is sufficient, Yang Haisheng adjusted his orbit and went to chase the International Space Station.
For every space mission in the past, how can there be such an impromptu intention?
That is, the flexibility of the aerospace plane and the powerful ability of the Yinglong made this scene appear.
Now, Yinglong has entered the atmosphere again.
Yinglong can fly by itself, which means that it can land more smoothly than the space shuttle.
The reason why the space shuttle has to be launched by rockets is that it returns from a speed of nearly 30,000 kilometers per hour. After entering the atmosphere, the speed is too fast. The high heat and high speed during deceleration put a lot of pressure on the structure and materials of the space shuttle.
Therefore, the wings of the space shuttle can only be made so small to reduce the risk in this regard. In order to facilitate thermal protection, the airfoil of the space shuttle is designed so thick and the aspect ratio is small.
However, in this configuration, the lift-to-drag ratio is very low, and the aerodynamic characteristics at low speeds are so bad that you cannot take off by yourself.
Yinglong's engine is too powerful.
The fact that the payload ratio can be so exaggerated fully demonstrates its slack in terms of fuel. So, when returning, it's enough to use the engines and vectoring jets to adjust the speed and re-entry angle to get the speed down to the right level.
In addition, how can its materials be simple?
Gu Song repeatedly emphasized his emphasis on materials, and even his doctoral dissertation was in the direction of materials. It is a high-temperature superconductor and a nano-carbon material. The Yinglong has such structural strength and thermal protection ability, which is too easy for others to understand.
Observing the speed and orbital angle of Yinglong at this altitude, NASA technicians all looked at each other and exchanged their inner waves.
When enters the Carmen line, its speed is already surprisingly low enough.
At this speed, even if its aerodynamic configuration puts a lot of pressure on thermal protection, there will be no space shuttle exaggeration.
In the Oval Office, no one could understand except a limited number of scientific advisors.
The commander asked: "Their return data... is it normal?"
In front of the core group of people, why is it necessary to lie?
"It's not that it's abnormal...but...it's too good..."
A company that can develop a 100-ton super-heavy rocket, how can it not be able to handle the structural strength and thermal protection of spacecraft under such data pressure?
In the ESA, looking at the high-level performance of the return trip, he muttered to himself: "Houston, we are in trouble..."
Sitting next to him, he didn't feel amused by such a joke, but said with emotion: "This time, the trouble is really not small. Aeroplane... With it, who can say that the plan of the Flint Space City is just a fantasy. With it, what's the point of Uranus?"
"Judging from the distance between the Uranus and Uranus, the space plane is 55 meters long and has a wingspan of 25 meters. This size is larger than the largest space shuttle orbiter. !"
Colleagues nodded in agreement, and said with admiration and envy: "Judging from its aerodynamic layout and the take-off stage data shared by NASA, its engine is a monster. So maybe, its payload and cargo compartment size. , twice or more than the space shuttle."
"No wonder Flint Aerospace has never had a manned spaceship development plan, and it said aerospace planes from the beginning. It seems that we all guessed wrong. I am afraid that the first batch of residents of Flint Space City will not pass through Shenzhou at all, but directly pass through. Aeroplane. Judging by its full acceleration... the bar is lowered even further..."
A few people said something to me, and finally laughed at themselves together: "Houston, we are in trouble..."
…
On Flint Island, above the end of the runway, Yinglong finally appeared.
didn't care about the excitement of these people in the command hall, Yinglong calmly raised its nose and landed gracefully on the runway.
Judging from its approach angle of attack, it can be seen that it has indeed broken away from the perception that the space shuttle is actually a space glider.
It didn't "fall" in a near free fall, it actually flew back.
The big guy with more than 400 tons began to slow down, and the parachute to assist the landing has been opened.
A big show that was only noticed by the top agencies and executives of the aerospace powers is over.
But since Gu Song let the Yinglong go to the bottom of the International Space Station for a turn, naturally it will not end in such a low-key manner.
On Weibo, Gu Song posted a Weibo.
comes with four pictures.
One is the International Space Station taken from Yinglong, to which the space shuttle Endeavour is connecting.
One is the Yinglong taken from the International Space Station, and the words "simulation picture" are written on the picture with a rough PS effect.
One is the driving picture of Yang Haisheng and Jing Zhigang.
One is a close-up shot of the landing on the Flint Island, and the external details of the Yinglong are at a glance.
【@Gu Song: Introducing the aerospace plane I just successfully tested: Yinglong! A single-stage orbit, fast round-trip, and a friendly visit to the International Space Station. @NASA, Surprise! 】
【@flyme100: I lied in a big groove! ! 】
[@大唐峰林: The space shuttle said...I'm just a younger brother...He! 】
【@行行者回回：The timing is so coincidental... Or can I slap my face at any time? 】
【@MysteriousWorldview: Lying... Isn’t it spicy Yang Haisheng and Jing Zhigang? So what is the nature of this test flight? What about the details? What about the press conference? 】
…
Things went deep without any surprises.
The commander looked at the picture that Gu Song matched, his face was extremely dark.
Is that an analog screen? It's clearly the same photo that Howard brought to the Oval Office!
This guy just did it?
also mocked in this way, implying and threatening recklessly.
Don't my Ami's nuclear-powered ship not strong enough and mushrooms not enough?
Thanks to flyme100 and Datang Fenglin for the tip!
