Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 369: : Test flight again
Drawings of the Grasshopper aircraft appear.
The Aeronautical Academy did not stop at all, and immediately started to build it. This time, they are full of confidence.
Although the dual-powered plane failed and crashed. But will the Grasshopper also fail?
No, absolutely not.
Although the Grasshopper is small, its stability will be very strong. According to estimates, even if the engine of the Grasshopper is turned off in the air, the plane will glide to the ground smoothly without crashing at all.
Especially after experiencing the last incident with broken wings. The Aeronautics Academy has an obsessive pursuit of the strength of the wings.
The overall frame of the aircraft has been redesigned, adopting the concept of keel commonly used in the shipbuilding industry and the mortise and tenon technology.
The entire Grasshopper does not use a single screw, and all are connected by tenon and tenon. The skeleton of the keel is directly a double-layer defense method. The first layer is mortise and tenon joint, and the second layer is welding.
As for the firmness, the Aviation Academy has already become obsessed. It seems that after two crashes, everyone has a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Even if the **** plane falls apart in the sky, the wings are not allowed to break.
When the Grasshopper's wings were finished, everyone used the strictest and most violent methods to test them. A group of people jumped up and stepped on it. And no matter how you step on it, the wings just flap up and down suddenly, but they don't break. Possesses great flexibility.
Of course, some weight is also sacrificed.
But not much. These weights have little effect on the overall situation.
Because the Grasshopper is too small...
According to some students, the Grasshopper can actually be powered by a two-stroke engine. Putting the power of the star engine on it is simply a waste.
But I failed twice before, and everyone was a little scared. The lion fights the rabbit, let's use all our strength.
Li Zhen passed by the aviation academy and glanced, and saw that the skeleton of the plane had appeared. Everyone is filling the skeleton.
Looking at the model, Li Zhen didn't care too much, nor was he curious.
This is the simplest model. With the technology of the Aviation Academy, they can build it with their eyes closed. Not kidding, a small aircraft like the Grasshopper still has two wings. You don't need drawings and they can spell it out for you.
But now everyone is serious about building it, and there is no possibility of failure.
There are principles and laws. All data is hard goods. The only thing that can make it fail is the accidents of various people.
But Li Zhen felt that this kind of accident was unlikely to happen, because he found that the people in the aviation academy were a little perverted. The overall skeleton of the Grasshopper is made stronger than a car.
A wrist-thick steel pipe is the main beam of the Grasshopper, and the thick wooden steel bars are directly welded to the main beam with mortise and tenon technology to support the wings. This skeleton alone probably weighs more than 100 kilograms.
Fortunately, the Grasshopper is small in size, no matter how heavy it is, it will not weigh much.
To Li Zhen's surprise, the wings of the Grasshopper are no longer hollow-covered. There is padding in the wings.
It is a bubble.
The frame of the wing is filled with a layer of foam board and then covered with a layer of paper. And then covered with a layer of silk. Then there's the canvas.
Using foam will have no impact on weight, but it will make the wing more stable.
Li Zhen left after looking at it twice. The Grasshopper will definitely succeed, so there is no need to worry too much about it. However, I am still a little relieved that the Aviation Academy has woken up and did not continue to swell.
Being able to go back and develop an aircraft like the Grasshopper from scratch shows that they are ready to keep their feet on the ground.
Also, what New Kyushu lacks now is flying experience. There is not only the pilot's flying experience here, but also the research and development experience.
The people in the aviation academy didn't know that Li Zhen had been here, but just buried their heads and continued to build the Grasshopper.
Although there is no technical difficulty, it still has to be taken seriously.
When the last layer of aluminum sheet was cast over the fuselage, the Grasshopper was finished.
"Is the engine of the motor academy ready? Let it be shipped over when it is done, and install it right now."
Liu Jinghong gave an order, and immediately someone ran to contact the people in the mobile hospital.
A few moments later, some people came over from the mobile academy, and Ma Jianbin also came over curiously. Also brought a radial engine specific to the size of the Grasshopper.
Ma Jianbin looked Grasshopper up and down, frowned and said, "Why is it so small?"
Liu Jinghong rolled his eyes, ordered the engine to be installed on the nose, and said: "This plane is short, but powerful."
Ma Jianbin smiled and said nothing. There is a trace of doubt in the eyes, so small, can it fly?
How big is the Swordfish before, how big is this Grasshopper?
Look how big the airship is?
Liu Jinghong said: "Don't look at it as small, but its stability is beyond your imagination."
Ma Jianbin laughed and said, "There won't be any more crashes, right? I'm a little scared. I'm afraid you will blame our motor institute, saying that the engine is not good enough."
Liu Jinghong gave him a sideways glance: "I can tell you the truth, the safety of the Grasshopper is higher than that of a car."
"Hehe, how is it possible."
Ma Jianbin obviously didn't believe it. Are you kidding me? Airplanes are safer than cars?
The plane is going to fly into the sky~IndoMTL.com~ After flying into the sky, a small accident will lead to death without a place of burial. As for cars, cars run on the ground and are more controllable.
Liu Jinghong obviously knew that Ma Jianbin must not understand the reason.
The safety of airplanes is higher than that of cars, which means the probability of accidents. It's not about the severity of the accident.
Of course, an accident with a car will not easily cause death. Once the plane has an accident, it is close to death.
But what Liu Jinghong was talking about was the stability of the Grasshopper, it was too stable and strong. Short and dapper. Even if the engine is turned off in mid-air, it will not crash.
The only thing that caused the Grasshopper to crash was the explosion of the fuel tank, or a tornado.
However, with the shortness of the Grasshopper and the power of the seven-cylinder engine, even if it encounters a tornado, it will probably be safe.
When the engines were installed, the Grasshopper finally came out.
The people of Aviation Academy painted it red, which looks more suitable for this pocket-sized feeling. Looking at it from a distance, the first impression that makes people think of is not the plane, but the candy.
Compared with the sci-fi streamlined figure of Swordfish. The Grasshopper is more of a toy.
The next day.
Laoshan is excited again, and the Academy of Aeronautics has developed another aircraft called the Grasshopper. Just today, it will test fly at the airport again.
Everyone is stunned:
"It's only been a few days?"
"This efficiency is too high. After a few days, another new type of aircraft appeared?"
"It's too hasty, it's an airplane, how can it be enough for a few days? It seems unreliable at first glance."
"The last crash is still vivid in my memory, the Aviation Institute is too impatient."
