Compared to their relatively unfamiliar, pulse detonation engine, their company is more confident in this kind of more traditional engine, and they believe that the potential of the variable cycle engine in the future is also very large, and it is absolutely possible. Blueprint, developed, developed, designed and produced aerospace aircraft engine by themselves.
In this regard, the X Aerospace formula and the Bald Eagle are very much looking forward to it. Of course, it is not simple to develop an aerospace aircraft engine based on this variable cycle engine. According to the inference of their company’s experts, it takes at least five to five. It takes ten years.
Therefore, even if it is their aircraft, after the test flight is successful, the variable-cycle engine on this aerospace aircraft can only be used in the atmosphere, and the pulse detonation rocket engine will still be used outside the atmosphere. power.
At this moment, this huge plane finally slowly raised its nose after taxiing for nearly 3 kilometers.
Although the weight of this aerospace plane is very heavy, and the weight of fuel and other materials has reached four to five hundred tons, because the aerospace plane is in the atmosphere, the engine used is the latest high-thrust variable cycle developed by their company. The engine has a thrust of more than 40 tons in the atmosphere, so this aerospace plane has an obvious ground taxi distance during takeoff, which is much shorter than the Phoenix series of Tiangong Technology.
However, after the plane took off, judging from the speed of the plane’s departure, it was obvious that the acceleration speed of this aerospace plane was far incomparable with the Phoenix series of Tiangong Technology.
After all, when the engine outputs the maximum power of the Phoenix series, it takes less than one minute to go from zero to Mach. Of course, the premise must be under the circumstances that the personnel in the aircraft can bear it.
However, the speed of this aerospace plane manufactured by X Aerospace Corporation is significantly slower, and it takes at least 35 minutes to reach the speed of sound.
Although this aerospace plane is far from being compared with the Phoenix series in terms of speed increase, the faces of the people at the airport, including their company’s senior officials and official personnel, are full of smiles at this time.
The successful take-off of the plane’s first flight was a great morale booster for them. A few minutes later, the aerial plane successfully landed on the airport runway, and the ground and technology personnel on the ground naturally immediately responded to the aerial and sky plane. The aircraft undergoes a series of inspections.
Because of the influence of the previous post-engineering technology research and development of the aerospace aircraft, they are also preparing to conduct a second test flight of the aerospace aircraft in three days, and they will not only perform supersonic and supersonic test flights for this test flight.
Even in order to show the strength of their company, they are planning to conduct an atmospheric flight in three days.
However, the exaggerated atmosphere flight here does not mean that the plane is going to fly in space three days later, allowing the aerospace plane to enter the earth’s low-Earth orbit, but that the aerospace plane is going to fly out directly at a super high speed of sound. Atmosphere, turn off the variable-cycle engine of the aerospace plane, and at the same time do not start the pulse engine on the aerospace plane, wait until the altitude of the aerospace plane reaches the limit, let it return to the atmosphere, and finally start the engine and return to them.
The purpose of this is to ask and test the state of the aerospace plane when it flies out of the atmosphere and reenters the atmosphere, after all, for an aerospace plane.
Fly out of the atmosphere and re-enter the atmosphere. Data is very important.
Although their company has also purchased several Phoenix series of aerospace planes from Tiangong Technology, and has also driven these Phoenix series aerospace planes into and out of the atmosphere countless times, and recorded a large amount of data.
However, these records are only data records of Phoenix’s series of skyplanes entering and exiting the atmosphere. They did not provide much reference for their aeroplanes. After all, their airplanes are not small aeroplanes. This type of aerospace plane is the data required for a medium and large aerospace plane, which is naturally different.
However, on the day X Aerospace Company rolled off the line and successfully tested the spacecraft, a large number of media throughout the world reported on it, saying that it was a breakthrough in the history of world aerospace, saying that they successfully broke Tiangong. Technology, the monopoly of aerospace aircraft engines, has also broken the monopoly of Tiangong Technology in the manufacture of medium and large aerospace aircrafts. In short, these news reports on this matter are exaggerated and exaggerated. As for the aerospace, some of the aircraft But not mentioning the defect, as if he didn’t know the matter at all.
Of course, not all reports have praised the space aircraft of X Aerospace. In fact, there are many media in the world, and they are not optimistic about the space aircraft developed by X Aerospace.
Although before that, Tiangong Technology’s pulse detonation rocket engine and other special accessories for space shuttles were used, such as the steering system of the space aircraft, the control system of the space aircraft, the remote communication system of the space aircraft, and so on.
In addition to Tiangong Technology and China, it is the first to achieve a breakthrough in the manufacture of aerospace aircraft from scratch in the world.
But in fact, they do not have much control over the manufacturing of many parts of the aerospace aircraft. There will naturally be many people who are not optimistic about this aircraft.
There are even people who mock their company saying that their company has not even realized the ability to manufacture small aerospace planes entirely by themselves.
Now I want to completely manufacture medium and large aerospace planes independently, which is completely idiotic.
Of course, Wang Bing and Chinese officials are naturally very concerned about X Aerospace, the first aerospace aircraft completely independently developed by their company.
At the same time, as the chief astronaut of Tiangong Technology, Zhao Feng, although he is already in the orbiting space station of the earth at this time, he has also seen relevant news from the broadcasting system of the space station and the Internet, and communicated with the company. Details of this aerospace plane by X Aerospace.
After reading the news and the company’s data, Zhao Feng frowned at this time. As the chief astronaut of Tiangong Technology, he naturally knew that the successful test flight of an aerospace plane in the atmosphere does not mean that the aerospace plane will be able to Perform a transatmospheric flight.
After all, flying in the atmosphere, because X Aerospace Corporation and other aerospace companies in the world have rich experience in manufacturing aircraft in the atmosphere, including the manufacture of medium and large aircraft, of course, they are light vehicles and familiar with roads, and there is no problem, even if they are very large. In-atmospheric aircraft, such as those with a volume comparable to 225, are not a problem in the design and manufacture of super large aircraft, but this is by no means suitable for the design and manufacture of aerospace aircraft.
As an experienced astronaut, he clearly knows that the next test flight is how dangerous their aerospace plane will be in its transatmospheric flight.
