Li Ang's words immediately attracted responses from the disciples of the Academy. Using thoughts to control a model aircraft is one kind of experience, but relying on your own feet to push up into the sky is another experience.
Li Ang also made a good prediction at the beginning of making the aircraft——
In order to improve the feasibility of flight, the original Albatross from another world tried every means to reduce the weight of the fuselage.
The skin is made of polyester film. This material has high rigidity, hardness, and toughness, but poor tear resistance, and it easily spreads after damage occurs.
Its spar is an aluminum alloy tube with a diameter of 5 cm and a wall thickness of about 0.5 mm.
Its wing ribs are made of aluminum alloy tubes with a diameter of 6 mm and a wall thickness of about 0.25 mm, balsa wood, and fiberglass. The leading edge is made of corrugated paper.
In order to increase lift as much as possible, the fuselage also adopts a canard layout, with the propeller blades at the rear and the horizontal tail in the front. And the position of the horizontal tail is relatively low, which can better obtain the additional lift generated by the ground effect.
The combination of various factors allowed the original driver to fly across the entire English Channel at low altitude. .
As for the forging workshop materials used by Li Ang,
Wood, skin, and metal wires have higher toughness and strength and can withstand greater fuselage weight and flight speed.
He briefly introduced the precautions for flying and opened the air inlet at the bottom of the cockpit - used to ventilate the cockpit and prevent the driver from overheating.
A student from the Academy happily sat in the driving position and stepped on the pedals vigorously, causing the aircraft to swing into the air again.
Although most of the new students in the academy are not yet adults, they have already embarked on the path of spiritual practice. They are well fed and their physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. The aircraft floated in the sky for several minutes before slowly landing.
Su Feng stepped forward, smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"
The classmate gasped and said with a blushing face: "It's so fun, I feel the joy of a good harvest, and my whole body is full of strength! Teacher, can I ride another lap?"
"Of course... no. One person, one time, limited time."
Su Feng, Tantai Leshan and Li Ang looked at each other and smiled. As manufacturers, they had already experienced flying machines - I have to say that compared with flying swords or telekinesis, it was indeed a particularly novel experience.
The junior academy students, who were not yet ready to fly, saw that someone had successfully landed on the ground, and they all asked for a test drive.
"Teacher, here I come!"
"Teacher, choose me, I am strong!"
"Leave me alone! Junior students, this opportunity to fly is very precious. The seniors should be allowed to try it first."
Seeing the bustle of people and the noise,
Tantai Leshan shook his head helplessly. Su Feng glanced at everyone present and caught a glimpse of the Turkic girl standing aside, eager to try.
"Ashina-san, do you want to try it?"
"Eh? Me?"
Ashinagara pointed at himself in surprise.
"Um."
Su Feng nodded. As an excellent Gonghuo enthusiast, he knew very well how to silence his opponent.
First, let the students from the academy try out the human-powered aircraft, and then let the students from other countries' academies try it out.
In this way, the people in Taihao Mountain cannot say that the academy has tampered with the aircraft and cheated on it.
"Thank you Doctor."
Ashinagaro walked over happily, jumped on the driver's seat lightly, and stepped on the pedal vigorously.
She has a foundation in body training. With her strong pedaling, the aircraft climbed upwards from slow to fast.
"Haye!"
Although Ashinagara is a Turkic nobleman, he has learned horse riding and archery since he was a child.
But flying in the sky, overlooking the scenery outside the window through the portholes, and watching the gradually smaller ground scenery brings a completely different experience.
She shouted happily, and the aircraft drifted down the wind, flew over the woods of Furong Garden, and came to the Qujiang Pond separated by a wall.
"Follow up quickly!"
Seeing this, Su Feng hurriedly stepped forward and followed, and a group of people followed the aircraft in a chaotic manner.
At this time, plum blossoms, wintersweets, etc. were already in full bloom by the Qujiang Pool. A large number of Chang'an citizens who came to watch the scenery gathered here and strolled along the riverside.
They stared dumbfounded as the huge aircraft with a wingspan of nearly thirty meters flew past at low altitude. For a moment, they thought it was some kind of monster.
Su Feng knew what these ordinary people were thinking, so he took a [Macro Note] from the bag at his waist. After using it, he shouted to the citizens: "Don't panic, this is an experimental product of the Academy!"
Upon hearing that it was done by the Academy, and seeing the people wearing Academy uniforms, the citizens of Chang'an who were about to run immediately settled down and stood by the river, curiously watching the aircraft.
Ashinagaro was still in high spirits. The aircraft passed over the calm river, gaining extra lift and increasing its speed again.
When those slow-sailing boats on the river saw the "strange birds" approaching, they hurriedly changed direction and sailed towards the river bank.
Because the shape of the aircraft was so weird, some boatmen and crewmen who didn't know what was going on were so frightened that they threw down their oars and jumped into the lake.
Some disheveled men and women also ran out of the boat.
Su Feng and others were rescuing people and appeasing the people, and they were in a state of panic for a while.
When Bian Chenpei and other Taihao Mountain disciples saw Ashinagaro flying the aircraft and landing smoothly on the flat ground by the river, their faces became a little ugly, and they all turned and left.
Before leaving, he made a bet that he would deliver it to Li Ang's house on time.
"Tsk, just leave like this?"
Yang Yu looked at their backs, smacked his lips and said, "I thought they would at least apologize or something."
"After all, we are from Taihao Mountain, so it is normal to be proud."
Li Ang said lightly, not caring about the hostility of the people in Taihao Mountain.
How come they are so angry just by a human-powered plane that can take ordinary people to the sky?
When one day Su Feng and Tantai Leshan make a breakthrough in the steam engine and the factory replaces the Taoist temple, won't they be angry to the sky?
Let him be.
The journey to the Academy is like a sea of stars...
He came back to his senses, looked at the busy riverside, and smiled slightly.
When the matter is over, the parts on this aircraft will be dismantled and preserved as a souvenir.
The experience of making airplanes can also be inherited and used to make other things.
Like a bicycle or something.

"It actually... really succeeded."
On the pavilion of Furong Garden, Queen Xue opened her mouth wide in surprise and slowly lowered her telescope.
"Yes, I actually let them do it."
Emperor Yu sighed and handed the telescope to the eunuch in yellow beside him.
As a companion who lives together day and night, Queen Xue was keenly aware of the different meaning in her husband's sigh, "The elder is a little unhappy?"
"Ha, a human-powered plane made the people of Taihao Mountain hide their faces and run away, which greatly increased the prestige of the Yu Kingdom. How could I not be happy?"
Emperor Yu smiled slightly and patted the back of his wife's hand, but there was an undercurrent surging in his heart.
