Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 370: : Before takeoff

Although the people are puzzled and distrustful.

However, the Aviation Academy still carried out the third test flight.

Once the Grasshopper was unveiled, the entire Laoshan became a sensation.

"So small?"

"Is this an airplane? It feels about the size of a car, not as big as a propeller of an airship."

"Isn't this just a child's toy? Can this also be called an airplane?"

"It looks quite solid, can such a small plane fly into the sky?"

"The red one really has a childlike innocence. Isn't it too much like a toy?"

"What about the streamlined shape? What about the single wing? This is too childish."

"It looks like you can't fly at all, okay?"

"The aviation academy is a waste of time."

“…”

The people at the Aeronautical Research Institute didn't care about the various voices of the crowd, they just transported the Grasshopper to the airport runway and started debugging.

‘Buzz’

The unique sound of the radial engine began to burst out.

Everyone felt a little surprised, this is a very contradictory visual sense. Such a small toy like candy. To be able to make such a violent sound, the contrast is too great.

"Report to the Dean. The engine test is completed and the test flight can be carried out."

"Report to the Dean, the operating system test is completed and can support the test flight."

"Report to the Dean, the airport road has been cleared, and the test flight can be carried out."

“…”

Liu Jinghong listened quietly, with neither sadness nor joy on his face. After experiencing several huge failures, Liu Jinghong's mood is now calm.

It's like an ancient well without waves.

A pilot walked over and reported to Liu Jinghong.

Liu Jinghong actually wanted to fly it by himself, but he also thought that he had zero experience in aerospace. It would be better to leave it to professional test pilots, although he had built a lot of aviation equipment. But they are the ones who are really familiar with aviation equipment.

It is worth mentioning that Fang Hangtian, who had just recovered from a serious injury, wanted to try the new aircraft Grasshopper again, but was persuaded to do so.

It can be seen from this that, in fact, the pilots do not have much fear of the crash, not at all, nor worry.

They love aviation far more than ordinary people, because they have long since lost any fear. Although I am in awe of the blue sky, I still yearn for it more.

For this test flight, every test pilot is still very enthusiastic.

Liu Jinghong asked their captain to operate. This time the captain of the flight test team was named Zhang Gang. He was still thin and small, but compared to Fang Hangtian, there was a bit more chill between his brows.

It seems that he is an iron-blooded warrior who has really been on the battlefield and killed people.

"Eastern Flying Regiment, Zhang Gang, captain of the sixth team, requests to participate in the test flight."

Liu Jinghong nodded: "Approved."

A look of joy flashed in Zhang Gang's eyes, and he hurried to get acquainted with the rather pocket-sized Grasshopper. He didn't dare to underestimate this pocket-sized plane, because the terrifying sound from the seven-cylinder radial engine had already proved that it wasn't as cute as it looked.

Under the explanation of the staff of the Aviation Academy, Zhang Gang quickly understood the control of some operating systems. In fact, it is not so strange.

Because Fang Hangtian has tested the Swordfish, he is no stranger to this kind of glider that needs to rely on the runway. When Fang Hangtian was hospitalized, his comrades would often visit him. Naturally, it is inevitable to ask him about the operation experience of Swordfish and the difference from other aircraft.

When Zhang Gang came here, he already knew it clearly. At least, what he knows is that this kind of glider can only take off when the speed reaches 80 mph.

And the landing method of this kind of aircraft also needs to adopt a dive gliding landing.

After getting familiar with the operation, Liu Jinghong told him a piece of data:

"Captain Zhang Gang, the weight of the Grasshopper is 263 kg. The maximum speed is 180-220 per hour. The maximum flight altitude is 6,000 meters."

Zhang Gang took a breath, and looked at the pocket Grasshopper under him in horror. Such a small plane, can it fly up to six kilometers?

How is this possible, isn't this a joke?

The airship dare not go up to 5,000 meters, but the Grasshopper dares to go up to 6,000 meters?

It is about to touch the stratosphere. In that place where the airflow is extremely turbulent, any aircraft in the world dare not go to that place.

And the Grasshopper dared to go six kilometers?

Without giving Zhang Gang too much time to be shocked, Liu Jinghong continued:

"Based on calculations based on the angle of attack and power, it is theoretically estimated that the Grasshopper can take off and land within 100 meters. It can take off at a speed of 60 mph."

Zhang Gang's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Take off and land within 100 meters? How is this possible?"

You know, the Jianyu piloted by Fang Hangtian only managed to take off after crossing the airport runway. That's almost four kilometers to complete takeoff.

Grasshopper, actually forty times shorter?

Take off and land within 100 meters?

What is the concept of 100 meters? For a pilot, it is almost like flying into the sky as soon as the engine is started.

Is this little Grasshopper so powerful?

Zhang Gang held a skeptical attitude, secretly thinking that this data is only a theoretical estimate, and it should be a bit exaggerated. One hundred meters... can't even raise the speed?

This is a propeller plane ~IndoMTL.com~ There is no power on the tires of the landing gear. All rely on the wind to propel it to run on the ground.

Can a distance of one hundred meters be pushed to a speed of sixty miles?

Zhang Gang had some doubts in his heart.

But he underestimated the terrifying power of the seven-cylinder radial engine, and also ignored the weight of the Grasshopper, which was more than 200 kilograms. With him, it weighs about 300 kilograms.

The seven-cylinder engine is propelled by the wind power of the propeller. It is actually possible to push the Grasshopper, which has a strong wind-breaking ability, to a speed of more than 60 kilometers within 100 meters.

The reason is simple.

Small in stature and light in weight. Powerful.

The people watching from a distance stood outside the cordon, looking at the direction of the Grasshopper with some expectation.

With the previous experience, I dare not stand at the end of the runway. If you are afraid of being skipped over your head, and even more afraid that you will not be able to take off when you reach the place, it will be over.

"Can this work?"

"Look."

"Flying should be able to fly?"

"I don't think it can even fly. How can there be such a small aircraft."

"Yeah, the wings are not big. Let's talk about a powered paraglider. Although it doesn't look big, the umbrella of the paraglider is more than ten meters long."

"It doesn't look optimistic."

“…”

"It's ready to take off."

Liu Jinghong gave an order.

Zhang Gang immediately put on the flying helmet: "Yes!"

Press the start button, and with a 'hum' sound, the star engine suddenly started working.

As Zhang Gang stepped on the accelerator, the propeller suddenly spun at a super high speed.

But his other foot stepped on the brake of the takeoff and landing gear, causing the whole plane to vibrate constantly, but it just didn't run forward.
