Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 362: ：Mid engine

When he left the Institute of Motor Vehicles, Li Zhen found Jia Liping again, and specially allocated a sum of scientific research funds to the Institute of Motor Vehicles, so that they could develop this new type of engine by themselves.

Once this kind of engine is successful, it means that the Mobile Academy is completely on the right track. The meaning is very profound. It became the first institution to enter the stage of independent research and development without Li Zhen.

After coming out of the Mechanical Academy, he entered the Aviation Research Institute.

Li Zhen really cares about the plane that can fly into the sky. Because now New Kyushu is developing an air passenger transport project.

Based on airships.

But in fact, the airship is very troublesome, the cost is too high, and hydrogen is very difficult to collect. Fuel is still secondary, the most important thing is that hydrogen is too expensive, and the load of the airship is very small.

It can only pull up to ten people at a time. It is only suitable for picking up and dropping off VIPs, but it is not suitable for developing civil aviation.

The pressure on the Aeronautical Research Institute is also great, because the aircraft is the top priority. Whether the new Kyushu can take the lead in entering the stage of civil aircraft depends on a group of talents in the Aviation Academy.

When Li Zhen came to the Aviation Academy, everyone put down their work and stood up to greet Li Zhen.

Li Zhen approached Liu Jinghong: "Is there any progress?"

Liu Jinghong was a little excited: "There is progress. Now we have developed a new type of aircraft structure, which will be more suitable for flying. The finished product has been manufactured, and we have been dragged by a steam car to calculate the horsepower Afterwards, it was compared with the thrust of the radial engine, and it was more than enough to drive it to fly."

Li Zhen was a little surprised: "Oh? Made it? Where is it?"

Liu Jinghong hurriedly led Li Zhen into the courtyard of the Aviation Academy. Only high-level personnel have permission to enter this compound, and it contains all the core secrets of the Aviation Academy.

In the yard, a huge monster is covered with canvas. Looking at the outline, it looks like an airplane.

Li Zhen was a little excited when someone specially assigned to uncover the canvas. A biplane aircraft with wood as the main material structure appeared in front of Li Zhen.

It's big, bigger than the biplane we tested before.

In addition, a lot of changes have been made to the fuselage. The nose is sharper and the fuselage is more streamlined.

If you look at the fuselage alone without the wingspan, its appearance and shape are very similar to a horse thorn. A type of bayonet with a very sharp front end and a larger back end.

There are two seats in the middle, which can carry two people. And this load should have been calculated in advance, so that it will not cause imbalance and weightlessness.

A plane has three wheels, one at the front and two at the back.

The wingspan is larger and the structure is more stable.

In order to add strong stability, they added a lot of steel, sacrificing some weight.

But the larger double-deck wingspan and leaner fuselage more than make up for the lost weight.

After the last failure, the Academy of Aviation conducted a deep introspection. The wingspan cable for adjusting the direction was changed to a steel pipe with the thickness of a thumb.

Before it was a pull line. But now it has become a mechanical steering structure that coexists with a lever principle and a mechanical principle.

The increase in weight is mainly due to the increase in the material of the control system.

They painted the whole wooden plane with silver paint, which looks like the metallic luster of fighter jets of that era from a distance. The thin, streamlined body looks even more psychedelic.

But Li Zhen is sure that this type of aircraft never appeared in Zhang Zhi's era.

Sharp fighter fuselage, but double wingspan.

It looks more sci-fi and psychedelic.

Li Zhen looked at the aircraft carefully, and said appreciatively: "I feel that it should work. But there is a very serious problem that must be solved."

Liu Jinghong asked: "What's the problem?"

Li Zhen pointed to the pointed nose and said, "Where is the engine of the plane?"

Liu Jinghong said: "This is a breakthrough in our thinking. Our preliminary decision now is to install two radial engines on the wings. One on each side of the wings. The thrust is directly generated by the wingspan , neither front-engine nor rear-engine, we are trying mid-engine.”

Li Zhen frowned: "Two engines? Do you know how dangerous this is? If the power of the two engines is different, the flight will be unbalanced in the air."

Liu Jinghong nodded thoughtfully and said: "Yes, now we are preparing to deal with this key factor. We have thought of this, but we can only overcome and solve it."

Li Zhen shook his head: "Let's change the plan. The current power system is not enough to support such a sophisticated idea."

Liu Jinghong was in a hurry: "But..."

"There is nothing wrong. I know what you think, and you want to swallow a fat man in one bite. But science must be down-to-earth, and don't be so ambitious. Now the Kyushu Academy of Sciences does not have such sophisticated instruments, including mass-produced cars. The power of one is not the same. How can you guarantee an aerospace vehicle that requires higher precision?"

"Adding a power system to the wings ~IndoMTL.com~ This is not what you should study now. You can't overcome that technology. It will take time and scientific precipitation. When the basic industry reaches a certain level, That kind of mid-engine aircraft will appear. Our current scientific strength can only support the front-engine. Even rear-engine aircraft cannot be manufactured.”

Liu Jinghong frowned and said: "But I think, as long as the Mobile Academy is strong enough, we still have hope."

Li Zhen seriously criticized: "Why do you always pin your hopes on others? Can you be more down-to-earth? According to the conventional aircraft, the only thing that can go to the sky now is the airship. Among aeronautics You just learned to crawl, and now you want to run. How is this possible? Scientists should have the spirit of fantasy, but sparrows eat peas, so you have to discuss it with your eyes, right?"

Liu Jinghong lowered his head, nana said: "Actually, my dream is a monoplane aircraft. But I have to create Lao Xu's last wish, to use two wings for the first spaceflight. So I put my machine The idea of ​​the body, and the idea of ​​Lao Xu's wings. I firmly believe that it can fly, and it can fly."

Li Zhen saw that Liu Jinghong was so stubborn that he got into the horns, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

Silent for a long time, said: "There is no need to wait for the Institute of Mechanical Engineering to break through the technology. If you want to try it, then try it now. Add the star engine and start debugging, and then prepare for a test flight."

Liu Jinghong was taken aback: "So fast?"

Li Zhen said with a smile: "Yes. It is so fast, I want you to know what is an irreversible factor."
