Although many people are praying in their hearts at this time, hoping that the test flight of the aerospace plane can be successful, but they forget that science is not something else. If it is a trivial matter in daily life, if you pray, there may be A miracle happened.
But science does not, especially like aerospace planes, a technology-intensive product that integrates the world's top technologies. It is rigorous. Any carelessness may cause irreversible consequences.
"Mr. Mark, tell me the truth, you X Aerospace Company, how confident are you about this test flight of the sky plane?" Just as the off-line ceremony is about to be completed, they are about to take down the red brace of the sky plane. Their official asked the president of X Aerospace Company again.
In fact, this official person has asked the president of X Aerospace Corporation many times, but the answer is that their company is more than 90% sure of the test flight.
But this time, the words of the president of X Aerospace Corporation, Mark, made his face full of anxiety.
"Sir! For this test flight, since it was a subsonic test flight in the atmosphere, I have more than 80% confidence in the success of the test flight. But if the flight test flight is to exaggerate the atmosphere, say To be honest, I am less than 50% sure.
But isn't success based on failure? Even if it fails, then what? It's a big deal to rebuild an airplane. It won't take long. After all, when our company used to develop interstellar spacecraft, we failed many times in a row. In the end, we were not successful. ! "Mark said indifferently.
Regarding Mark's words, this official has a dumbfounded look. At this time, he really has a lot to say in his heart.
You must know that this is not an interstellar spacecraft they developed before, but an aerospace plane. The most important thing is that at this time the interior of the aerospace plane, but there are their best astronauts in it, once the aerospace plane has a problem. If so, what should the astronaut inside this space plane do? Even if there are many escape methods, this astronaut may not be able to survive. The most important thing is that he does not know whether these escape methods are useful.
But in the end, the official sighed and said nothing more. After all, Mark, as a capitalist, especially a large capitalist with many assets, doesn't care about these at all. For him, all this is okay. Measured by money, all he needs is to prove to the world that his company, X Aerospace, also has the ability to develop aerospace aircraft and can also develop and manufacture aerospace aircraft engines.
As long as the world knows this, then their company's stock can definitely rise by a large margin, and the market value of their company can naturally rise by a large margin. This is what he cares most about.
It is also because he clearly knows what Mark is thinking at this time, so he stops talking. After all, in this country, even if he is an official person, he has no power to change this.
So he can only pray that the test flight can be successful, just like everyone else.
At this moment, as a flash of light flashed, he and Mark and others finally pulled down the red cloth of the sky plane, and the sky plane finally revealed its true appearance to the world.
When the appearance of this aerospace plane finally appeared in front of everyone, many people liked the appearance of this aerospace plane very much.
However, in fact, the shape of this aeroplane is indeed very beautiful, even the shape of this aeroplane is very similar to the Valkyrie aircraft they designed decades ago.
At the same time, from the appearance, it can be clearly seen that the wing of this aerospace plane is also a variable wing design. From here, we can see that X Aerospace Corporation is still very careful in the design of this aerospace plane. However, compared with the Valkyrie, the length and volume of this aeroplane is much larger, even compared to the Phoenix II series of Tiangong Technology.
After all, according to their design data, the total weight of this aerospace plane is more than 300 tons, and the carrying capacity of this aerospace plane is also very amazing. It can send materials weighing up to 40 tons into 1500. Tracks below kilometers.
If you refuel once in space, there is absolutely no problem in flying to the lunar orbit.
The reporters at the scene were naturally very happy for this aeroplane. Amid the praise of everyone, the aeroplane was slowly pulled out of the frame by a tractor and came to their company. On the airport runway, ready to take off.
Like the previous Tiangong Technology, the air-to-sky aircraft of their company has to undergo a series of inspections before the test flight, and due to the degree of intelligence inside the aircraft, it cannot be compared with the Tiangong Technology, so the inspection time, Naturally it needs to be longer.
And because what they use is basically manual inspection, it is inevitable that some errors will occur. Therefore, in order to ensure that all inspections are in place, they must go through multiple inspections by ground crews and aircraft manufacturing designers before the test flight. Will take off.
It took four hours for the inspection of the space plane of X Aerospace Corporation to finally complete the final inspection. At this time, their space plane was finally ready for the first test flight~www.mtlnovel. com~ With the order of the tower, the aircraft's engine finally started to rotate.
But when the engine started to rotate, many people present found that the sound of the engine was a bit wrong, because the sound of the engine was not like the sound of a variable detonation pulse rocket engine, but like the sound of an ordinary airplane taking off. The sound of a turbofan engine.
This makes many people very puzzled, but those in the know are different. They clearly know that it is not the pulse detonation rocket engine that powers the aircraft at this time, but the turbofan that is used by most aircraft in the atmosphere. engine.
Of course, as a real aerospace plane, what is actually running on this aerospace plane at this time is not a complete turbofan engine, but the variable cycle engine they have developed over the years.
After all, for them, compared to the relatively unfamiliar pulse detonation engine, they are more mature in the field of turbofan engines and have a more thorough grasp of internal technology.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft flying in the atmosphere, when the aerospace plane is flying in the atmosphere, it is powered by a variable cycle engine.
