Chapter 432 Air and Sky Flight Test Flight 2

Which is the airstrip of Tiangong Technology? The first Phoenix-kt1 aerospace plane is parked on it quietly.

The ground crews on the ground are also carefully inspecting the aircraft after take-off.

At the same time, in the airport tower, several staff members are also preparing.

Of course, this airport serves as a shared airport for Tiangong Technology and the military. Naturally, military technology personnel are indispensable for the tower in Taichung.

But at this time, everyone carefully looked at the data on civilians.

After all, this test flight is different from any test flight in the past. This test flight is that this aircraft is Tiangong Technology, and it is the first test flight that took off directly from the ground to space in the entire China and even the entire world. Therefore, for the inspection work before the plane takes off, it is natural to be more careful and careful.

After all, if the aircraft is flying in a low-altitude area in the atmosphere, once a problem occurs, the pilot may survive the parachuting. Even if the problem occurs at high altitude, as long as the aircraft does not disintegrate on the spot, the pilot may still survive.

But if this test flight is different, once the plane flies into space and there is an accident, then the pilot or astronaut on the plane will definitely be dead.

Therefore, for this test flight, they must ensure that they are foolproof.

At this moment, the data on the screen showed that the aircraft had entered the ready state, and the aircraft’s ground handling inspection and self-inspection had also been completed.

The last is the fuel condition of the aircraft, which has also been refilled.

And because this test flight is an aerospace test flight, in order to prevent accidents, the aircraft’s fuel, that is, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are all fully loaded.

And at this time, the crew of the plane had also sent a take-off request.

“Allowed to take off.” Following the tower’s order.

The crew of the plane also increased the fuel supply of the plane to the maximum.

The aircraft naturally started to taxi forward slowly under the propelling of the engine. When the taxiing distance of the aircraft reached more than 2,000 meters or nearly 3,000 meters, the aircraft slowly raised its nose.

Wang Bin and others were not surprised by this running distance. After all, the fuselage of this aircraft is too long, and the rear landing gear of the aircraft is relatively far behind. In addition, the aircraft is full of fuel at this time. That’s why the taxiing distance of the plane is so long.

Of course, this is because the front of the aircraft has a pair of canards, which makes the aircraft’s take-off and landing performance much better. Without this pair of canards, the take-off and landing distance of this aircraft would have been longer.

With the successful take-off of the aircraft, when the nose of the aircraft is raised to an angle of ten degrees, it no longer rises, but starts to advance at full speed.

In just less than five minutes, the speed of the airplane has exceeded Mach 6, and the altitude of the airplane has reached 30,000 meters, but the airplane did not stop accelerating, and due to the rotation of the earth, the airplane’s speed There have also been some changes in the angle of flight.

The original ten-degree upward flight angle has become a fifteen-degree angle, but the flight speed of the aircraft is still increasing rapidly and the altitude is also increasing rapidly.

When the altitude of the aircraft reached 40,000 meters, the speed of the aircraft exceeded Mach 7.

However, when the altitude of the aircraft reaches 45,000 meters, the acceleration speed of the aircraft is much slower. After all, at this altitude, since the oxygen at this altitude is already very thin, the thrust of the engine has already appeared very large. Decline.

When the altitude of the airplane reached 50,000 meters and the speed reached Mach 10, the airplane’s engine finally turned off automatically. After all, at this altitude, the oxygen in the atmosphere is no longer enough to support the engine’s work.

Fortunately, after the engine stopped working, within less than a second, the engine continued to work again, and the flame sprayed by the engine was no longer orange, but light blue.

Obviously, at this time, the aircraft’s engine has begun to switch automatically, and it is already in the rocket engine working mode.

However, after the engine had been working for less than thirty seconds, the engine stalled again. This was because the highest altitude of the orbit of the aerospace plane had reached the height of the orbit, so the crew turned off the engine.

With the continued ascending of the aerospace plane, it soon reached the planned orbital altitude of the plane for this test flight of 100 kilometers, so the engine of the plane ignited again at this time and began to accelerate wildly. When the plane turned off again, at this time This sky plane finally entered the scheduled orbit.

Of course, this also marks that this air-to-sky flight has been half-successful.

At this time, the personnel on the ground, namely Wang Bin and others, are already facing the plane’s successful entry into orbit after seeing the data transmitted by the aircraft. In the entire tower, whether it is Wang Bin, Qiu or Qin The old staff members all clapped frantically, knowing that this is the first aircraft of human civilization that can take off from the ground into space.

Naturally, they are very clear about its value. The most important thing is that this air-to-sky flight also proved the feasibility of the air-to-sky plane is correct.

At the same time, it also laid a solid foundation for them to develop a larger-capacity aerospace plane for China in the future.

In addition, the successful entry into orbit this time has also laid a solid foundation for China’s future low-cost spaceflight, regardless of whether the space shuttle can return successfully this time.

However, after a while, Wang Bin and the tower crew immediately began to contact the crew to determine the crew’s condition at this time and the condition of the aerospace plane itself and its internal equipment.

In addition, there are many flying subjects and some space scientific research projects. Even while the aerospace plane is in orbit, many small satellites will be released.

“Reporting to the ground, the Phoenix01 Aerospace Aircraft is in very good condition, the internal personnel is in good condition, the satellite information and equipment is in good condition, and everything is normal.” The crew’s voice came from the control platform of the tower.

“Okay! Perform all tasks as planned!” Old Qin ordered!

“Yes.”

Soon, the first small satellite was released, and after the release was completed, the aerospace plane also performed an orbit change to prepare for the release of the second satellite.

In fact, during this test flight, they have to perform multiple satellite release missions, and naturally they have to perform multiple orbit changes until the satellite release is completed.

In addition, during the execution of the mission, the crew also collects a number of data, including data from nearby satellites in orbit.

The timing required during this period only takes two hours, so the crew’s task is also very heavy.
