With the end of this meeting, the Bald Eagle immediately invested a huge amount of money in their country's aviation industry, which amounted to hundreds of billions of dollars.
Of course, this investment of hundreds of billions of dollars is not a one-time investment. According to their plan, they will invest so much in the next five years. You must know that this is hundreds of billions of dollars!
At the same time, they also announced that in the next ten years, they will increase their investment in aerospace. According to the announcement, their total investment will not be less than their investment soon.
Of course, they have not announced specific data on their investment in space.
But just after this announcement, not long after, their country announced that they would restart the space shuttle program.
Of course, this time their space shuttle project is not the space shuttle they have used before. After all, their space shuttle still has very big defects before, and the failure rate is too high. After all, there are so many accidents, even now. They dare not let them use the previous space shuttle again.
So this time to restart the space shuttle project is not to re-manufacture the previous space shuttle, but to develop a space shuttle based on the previous space shuttle. This space shuttle is called the second-generation space shuttle by them. Aircraft project.
After all, according to their published data, their second-generation space shuttle must not only do better in terms of safety, but also have to be stronger in terms of other performance, and in terms of carrying capacity.
In addition, they also expect that the new space shuttle will be equipped with a variable cycle engine. By then, this aircraft will be the same as an ordinary aircraft and can take off from the ground directly into space.
In short, this is actually the Bald Eagle version of the aerospace aircraft plan. However, compared to the Phoenix-kt1 aerospace aircraft that has almost been assembled at this time, their plan is to complete the development of this aircraft in the next five years. And manufacturing, successfully manufactured the first prototype.
Of course, such a project is basically impossible for other countries, and it can even be said to be a fantasy, but for their country's technological and economic strength, it can obviously become a reality.
Of course, if their space program is just like this, it will not be enough for other countries to throw more money into space.
After all, if you want other people to throw more money into space, you must throw more money first.
Although the total scale of the aerospace aircraft project is more than tens of billions, it is far from enough, so they announced a new plan.
In other words, it is not a new plan, but a plan they have put forward many years ago, the Centennial Starship Project.
Of course, the starships mentioned here are not the spaceships we are launching now, but the real interstellar spaceships in science fiction movies.
And in the release, their official promises will continue to invest tens of billions of dollars a year for a long time in the future, and this investment will continue until the completion of this plan.
When their country announced these news, the whole world was in an uproar. After all, such huge capital investment really stunned many countries.
Because the annual investment of this institutional project is far beyond the annual GDP of many countries.
Of course, their investment has also caused many countries with space capabilities, especially those with space capabilities similar to the Bald Eagle, to create a very large sense of crisis.
Take the Arctic countries as an example. Just after the Bald Eagle announced the news, and after they also learned about the achievements of Tiangong Technology, they also announced their own space program, including the moon landing and their own starship. Plan, and its ambition is even bigger than the Bald Eagle.
In addition, there are other aerospace powers in the world that have also put forward their own plans, such as the joint spaceflight of the Europa continent, such as the space department of the elephant country, such as the space department of the island country, and so on.
Compared to these countries, after the Bald Eagle put forward these plans, there was no response from China, which made many people very strange or expectant.
After all, according to the current strength of China Aerospace and its economic strength, China will definitely have its own plan here, but it is not known when China will be able to make it public.
So while the people on the Huaxia side are waiting for the news from the China Aerospace Department, on the Tiangong Technology side, the test flight of the Phoenix-m1 aircraft is also proceeding in accordance with one step.
After the first test flight, the aircraft was pulled into the assembly shop for professional inspection, and three days later, the aircraft's design and technical personnel confirmed that the aircraft was in good condition.
After the aircraft's engine is in good condition, the aircraft is about to start its second test flight.
Of course, if it is an airplane with a common engine produced by another manufacturer, it would not be possible to complete it in such a little time if a comprehensive inspection is carried out.
After all, ordinary airplanes are very complicated only in terms of engine structure. It takes a very long time for the comprehensive inspection of the engine. If the inspection of the fuselage and the structure of the aircraft is added, it will take at least half a month. Row.
As for this airplane of Tiangong Technology, none of the above-mentioned ordinary turbofans or ramjet engines with complex structure are used, but pulse detonation engines with very simple structure. After all, simple structure means reliability, convenient maintenance and easy inspection. and many more.
A large number of sensors are installed on the aircraft fuselage and various structural parts and even the aircraft glass of Tiangong Technology. Therefore, the data generated by the design and manufacture personnel of the aircraft after passing these test flights is very important for the situation of the aircraft. But they all know very well.
Of course, if it is only to detect the condition of the aircraft, because of the existence of the data, it naturally does not take so long. The reason why it takes such a long time ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is actually the staff is doing a certain amount of inside the aircraft. Improve.
After all, with such a big airplane, it is impossible to achieve 100% perfection in all places.
What's more, because during the first test flight before, the aircraft would only fly in low and medium altitudes, so the pilot of the aircraft just wore ordinary aviation decompression suits.
But in this test flight, the aircraft will fly to an altitude of 30,000 meters and will also fly at a speed of Mach 3.0, so it is no longer appropriate to wear ordinary aviation decompression suits.
So in this test flight, the pilots will also wear special aviation decompression suits.
This test flight will involve air maneuvering and super maneuvering, as well as flight tests below Mach 3.0 and below 30,000 meters.
It is precisely because there are so many flight test subjects this time, and the flight test subjects are of challenging significance, so this time there are also a lot of people who come to participate in the flight test work.
In addition to Qiu Shi, the heads, technicians and chief engineers of many domestic official aviation companies will come, and many heads of important domestic air bases will also come to see the country's first ultrhigh aircraft. The demeanor of the sonic bomber during the test flight at the altitude of Mach 3.0 and 30,000 meters, the most important thing is the person in charge of the domestic aviation department, who will also come.
