Chapter 449 Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft
In fact, because Tiangong Technology has successfully developed aircraft electric engines and sold them to domestic companies in large numbers, there has been a large number of domestic electric passenger aircraft for civil use in research and development.
Among these companies, there are also companies that have started the idea of researching and developing tilt-rotor airliners, and even corporate products have now completed the design stage and entered the actual manufacturing stage.
However, due to the technological capabilities of these companies, they cannot be compared with Tiangong Technology and other official companies. Therefore, the tiltrotor aircraft designed by these companies are relatively small in size and for the sake of technological difficulty and safety. , The tilt-rotor aircraft selected are also multi-rotor aircraft with more than four rotors.
Compared with double rotors, rotorcraft with four rotors or more, especially those with eight rotors or more, are much safer and less likely to lose control. After all, these companies have limited technology capabilities.
Of course, in addition to these private companies, official companies have naturally started the research and development of the tiltrotor. However, the official research and development of the rotorcraft is about the same size as the Owl’s tiltrotor. .
The Tiangong Technology’s model is different. Let’s not talk about the others. In terms of aircraft size, it is definitely not comparable to the rotorcraft of these companies.
After all, the size of this aircraft is built in accordance with the size of the Phoenix-1 aircraft. Therefore, the technological difficulty of a tiltrotor aircraft with a length of tens of meters is very difficult even with the current Tiangong technology.
Of course, it may seem to many people that the research and development of this large tiltrotor is not good for the current Tiangong Technology. After all, the technological difficulty of the large tiltrotor is so high. The required cost, etc., is also very high.
However, Wang Bin and the Tiangong Science and Technology Aerospace Laboratory do not think so. First of all, if there are large vertical take-off and landing aircraft, these aircraft have huge uses in many aspects, especially in rescue and disaster relief. And so on, even more so.
In addition, the reason why Tiangong Technology will carry out the research and development of this type of aircraft is actually its own consideration, which is to verify the feasibility of the vertical take-off and landing technology for large aircraft.
You know, like the Phoenix-kt1 aircraft, as an aerospace aircraft, it is destined to not only travel between the earth and low-Earth orbit in the future. This aircraft will also be responsible for various missions in Earth-Moon space in the future. That is, in the Earth-Moon system, various space manned spacecraft are used for transportation. In addition, this aircraft will also be used as a spacecraft transportation between the moon and lunar orbiting spacecraft.
But the landing of the moon can be different from landing on the earth. On the moon, there is no atmosphere. So on the moon, the wings of airplanes are useless at all, and even because of the existence of wings, it will bring about the landing. More demanding conditions.
Therefore, if an aeroplane wants to land on the moon, it can only be realized by an engine on an airplane.
However, this has brought a new problem, that is, when the plane is landing on the moon, it can’t be turned upside down to make the landing handle, if it is easier to say during the landing.
However, if the tail of the aircraft is landed first when landing, then the danger can be imagined.
Therefore, the method of vertical take-off and landing is undoubtedly the best method at this time.
For this reason, Tiangong Technology has already started its exploration and research and development of large-scale flight control vertical take-off and landing technology, and has also achieved very great results.
However, when the relevant laboratories developed the vertical take-off and landing technology for large aircraft, there was no physical object to verify it.
After all, the difference between vertical take-off and landing aircraft and ordinary airplanes is too big, and even if this technology is successfully verified on ordinary large airplanes, it may not be able to be used on the Phoenix series.
In the end, Wang Bin and the others decided to develop an improved version of the Phoenix, specifically for verifying this technology in the atmosphere.
If the verification is successful, then Tiangong Technology will replace the electric turbofan engine on this aircraft and replace it with a pulse detonation rocket engine for verification.
In the end, if it succeeds, Wang Bin and the others can develop a Phoenix-1 series of vertical take-off and landing models that can be used exclusively for lunar landings when the moon landing is really going to happen.
It is based on the consideration of so many factors that Wang Bin and the others have spent so much effort to develop this vertical take-off and landing Phoenix-cz1 aircraft.
And now, the drawing design part of this technology verification machine is almost done now, except for the final drawing verification stage.
“Mr. Wang! For our Phoenix-zc1 vertical take-off and landing aircraft, the drawing design part has basically been carried out now. The design of all parts of the aircraft has been completed. Can the workshop start to carry out parts and components? Trial production?” Professor Dai from the aircraft design department asked Wang Bin.
In fact, the most important purpose of Wang Bin’s visit today is to review the design drawings of this aircraft and find some defects of this aircraft.
It’s just that today’s Tiangong Technology is not based on the previous Tiangong Technology. When designing aircraft, first of all, these designers in the design department have extremely strong capabilities. Secondly, in the design process, they have With the aid of supercomputers and intelligent systems, countless computer simulations are required during the aircraft design process. Therefore, even if Wang Bin has countless aircraft design knowledge in his mind, he cannot find the design flaws of this aircraft. .
So after Wang Bin reviewed the drawings of this aircraft, Professor Dai asked Wang Bin.
“You can start manufacturing parts and components, Professor Dai, you see, this will work, since we have started production, then we can simply produce a few more prototypes.” Hearing Professor Dai’s words, Wang Bin nodded and said. .
“Yes! This way, in the future test flight, the progress can be faster.” After that, he thought about it and said: “Just produce a five-handle first! After all, if you produce too much at once, it won’t be good!”
“Yes!” Wang Bin nodded.
Immediately, Wang Bin used his authority in the company’s smart computer to distribute the production of various parts in the drawings. As for those parts and equipment not produced by Tiangong Technology, Wang Bin also took these parts Assigned to the purchasing department, let the purchasing department go to purchase with related manufacturers.
At the same time, just after Wang Bin allocated the production of these parts, in the precision machining workshop, countless intelligent machine tools automatically added these parts to the production catalog.
At the same time, the processing master of the machine tool also received a reminder from the computer, asking him to arrange the processing of these parts as soon as possible.
