Chapter 436: Tire Problem
And Wang Bin and others, after hearing Professor Dai’s words, their hearts were relieved. After all, they were afraid that there were other problems besides the road wheels, because the test flight was not Ordinary test flight, but an air-to-sky flight and multiple releases of satellites and other tests.
Whether it is Wang Bin or anyone else, for such a high-intensity flight test project, they dare not take the slightest care.
With the completion of the preliminary inspection, the aerospace plane was again towed to the workshop by the ground crew, using a tractor, and began to conduct more in-depth inspections.
Of course, as the boss of Tiangong Technology, he has a more important job at this time, which is to find suitable road wheels for this aeroplane.
Seeing that the plane was towed to the hangar, Wang Bin, Qin Lao, Qiu and others did not follow. They came to Tiangong Technology Wang Bin’s office and waited until everyone sat down and poured tea.
Qin Laocai said, “Mr. Wang! Your Tiangong Technology’s first aerospace plane has achieved air-to-sky flight for the first time. This is definitely an event that can be remembered in the annals of history. Therefore, Mr. Wang, we officially plan to carry out this matter to a limited extent. I don’t know what you think, Mr. Wang?”
After listening to Wang Bin, he also nodded and said: “Old Qin! We have no objection to limited disclosure, and I will also let our official website of Tiangong Technology in a while. Announce some things about the successful test flight of aerospace aircraft by Tiangong Technology.
After all, it is impossible to conceal such a big plane flying in the air and such a big thing. After all, our aerospace plane, although it is, has a fairly strong stealth capability.
However, the invisibility is only available when the speed is below Mach 3.0, but once the speed exceeds Mach 3, its invisibility will fail.
What’s more, its stealth capabilities are only aimed at electromagnetic waves and ordinary ultrasonic radars. For optical radars, even stealth aircraft cannot be invisible at all.
So I’m sure that everyone who should know or not know at this time basically already knows, including those who are hostile to us.
Therefore, there is no need to conceal this matter. Publicizing it will not only ascension the self-confidence of the people of our country, but also allow us to fully enter the aerospace project in the future to eliminate a lot of opposition.
Not only within us, there are also many voices who think that developing aerospace is a waste of money, not to mention the people in society.
With the emergence of this aerospace plane, anyone with a little brain knows that we already have the ability to exploit space resources and also have the ability to develop space business. This is definitely a multi-tasking thing. ”
Old Qin nodded, especially in this consideration. Of course, in addition to this, he naturally has other considerations as a senior. For example, publicizing this aerospace plane can definitely deter those who are hostile to China. .
At the same time, it can also allow those people and countries who only care about a little bit of interest on the earth to look farther to own, allowing them to focus more on spaceflight and exploring the universe.
After all, exploring the universe, expanding survival and Life Air Force for human civilization, is not only a matter for China, but also a matter for all mankind.
“Mr. Wang! I will discuss with relevant companies about the road wheels of this aircraft to see if they have any good solutions, but I think we will not be able to solve it in a short period of time. The most important thing is to look at yourself.” Old Qin said.
And Wang Bin also nodded. After chatting for a while, Mr. Qiu and Mr. Qin and the others said goodbye. After all, the air-to-sky flight test was successful. For such a big matter, they have to go back and discuss with their superiors. The next storm.
Seeing Mr. Qin and Mr. Qiu and others leave, they sat in the own office and thought about it for a while.
He asked Wang Xu to come in and ordered him to find the person in charge of various related departments such as materials and machinery to come to the conference room.
He is going to have a technology meeting with the heads of various departments of Tiangong Technology to see if they have any good solutions.
If there is no such thing, he can only go to the science and technology mall to see if there is any suitable technology.
“Professor Poke, Professor Zhang, Professor Dai, Professor Zhao, Professor Li! This time I asked you to come here, I think you must already know some, yes, that is, we will test the Phoenix-kt1 aerospace plane today. After the test flight was completed and entered the atmosphere, it was unable to withstand the high temperature, which caused the road wheel to puncture.
Fortunately, it was just one burst. The other road wheels did not puncture on the spot, but all these road wheels showed signs of grilling and melting.
In other words, these road wheels are used in ordinary airplanes, even supersonic or supersonic airplanes, without any problems.
But it can’t be used on our really poor Phoenix-kt1 aeroplane, because the performance of this tire cannot meet the needs in terms of ultra-high temperature.
That’s why I asked you all to discuss whether this problem can be solved with our own ability. If there is really no way, we are looking for other ways. ”
After speaking, Wang Bin quietly looked at the people in the conference room.
Soon after speaking, in addition to the department head, Professor Zhang first stood up and said: “Mr. Wang! And everyone, in addition to the department, although we are in the chemical materials Realm. There is also a laboratory, but internal research and development are involved. The content basically has nothing to do with the tires.
Other laboratories are basically researching and developing various metals.
Therefore, our laboratory does not have high temperature resistant rubber, especially rubber that can withstand high temperatures of more than one thousand degrees.
And I don’t think it’s a good way to use rubber as the road wheel of the aerospace plane. After all, the aerospace plane is not an ordinary aircraft in the atmosphere. It has to face not only the environment in the atmosphere, but also the surface. For the vacuum environment in space and the high temperature environment generated when re-entering the atmosphere.
And this is only now. In the future, aerospace aircraft will have to face more complex and even extreme environments. For example, the environment of other planets, with the performance of rubber, is simply unable to cope with such an environment.
So I think that since this aviation tire cannot be used on aeroplanes, we simply don’t use rubber as the road wheels of this aeroplane.
We can use other materials as road wheels, or even road wheels with mechanical structures! “After speaking, he looked at the people in the conference room.
After listening to Professor Zhang’s words, Wang Bin and others also nodded. After all, as Professor Zhang said, rubber is not the best material for the air and sky aircraft road wheels.
