There is tearing in the south and compression in the north.
The volcanic belt is fine. These mountains are a single piece of granite, and when the new lava covers the old stone, it will "anneal" to eliminate some of the stress. It is not significantly layered and is very solid.
On the contrary, the northern plate adjacent to the northern foothills has experienced a line of compression and fragmentation.
The broken stones provided the demons' ground units with special physical abilities with weapons on the spot. However, the defense line was still several kilometers away from the foot of the mountain, so there was basically no threat.
However, patrols still need to be strengthened to prevent the demons from using stones to pile up ramps and allow ground units to cross the section and rush up the mountain.
After receiving the news about Xincheng and the Northern Defense Line, Wang Qi ignored it and took Li Xiang out of the palace to take a plane to the garrison headquarters.
Various types of aircraft prepared for floating islandization have entered the testing period one after another in the past two months. Because the aircraft are still relatively rudimentary and have limited complexity, the testing work has gone smoothly. Wang Qi plans to try it after receiving the latest report. Sit down.
The location of the test airport is the same distance from Phoenix City and New Pettus Magic Academy. It is planned to be the aviation center of the Dark Land block. As for whether a special airport is needed in the new city to dock with the Wind Valley block for cargo, wait until it can fly. Look, the logistics center there mainly considers energy saving, and the aviation center will have more ordinary aircraft.
There is currently a huge amount of work in all aspects, and we haven't had time to build the airport yet. We just did some leveling work on a relatively flat area in the hilly land.
Wang Qi and Li Xiang were present and were not in a hurry to fly. They first asked people from Blue Sky Heavy Industry to help introduce the progress of each test flight prototype.
There are ten prototypes of five types of aircraft currently being tested.
One is the Tornado III, which is an upgraded version of the Tornado II. The flight load capacity has been increased from one ton to 1.5 tons. The aircraft body has also been slightly enlarged. The wingspan has increased from 12 meters to 13.5 meters, and the body length has increased from 9 meters. increased to 10.5 meters.
It can be seen from the size that its aspect ratio has changed, and the actual wing shape and angle have changed. The Tornado III model, redesigned through wind tunnel experiments, has been changed to a retractable landing gear, which can stabilize the dive speed without power. It has increased from the original 170 kilometers to the current 260 kilometers with a full load of bombs/modules. This speed can only be reached by the Tornado II model by crashing vertically.
While the speed limit has been raised, the driving threshold has also been raised. The Guangfeng Type 2 can fly stably at a speed of 14 meters per second, while the Type 3 can fly stably at a speed of 19.5 meters per second.
...In fact, there is not much difference. Just pay a little attention to the speed when landing.
The third type will replace the combat mission of the second type. After it is officially put into service, the second type will gradually be converted into professional reconnaissance, and part of it will be used in forestry and agriculture.
The second type of test aircraft was only introduced this month, and it is also the most dangerous of the four models currently tested, the Tornado 3B.
Although it is also called Tornado Type 3, it can be called another type of aircraft, but it just uses the basic structure of Type 3.
Type 3B uses two under-wing radial engines to power the propellers. The size and length are the same as Type 3, but the wingspan is reduced to 12.5 meters. This change is mainly due to the higher speed of independent power.
As long as the concept of a radial engine is understood, it is very easy to stack power. The bottleneck is mainly in the casting process and heat dissipation.
The two air-cooled engines of Type 3B provide a total of 800 kilowatts of power and a maximum fuel capacity of one ton. Calculations from the completed test work indicate that the maximum range is close to 3,000 kilometers. However, taking off with this range, its modules and engines There is less than 600 kilograms of ammunition left.
The three sorties that have been flown have a maximum stable flight speed of 450 kilometers per hour and a minimum stable speed of 85 kilometers.
The lowest speed and propellers under the wings make it more difficult to take off and land, and raise the threshold for pilots. It is no longer just a matter of picking someone up and learning how to fly it on the ground for a few days. It must be tested by a pilot who has flown Type II.
The biggest advantage of autonomous power is that it has a level flight speed that far exceeds that of a glider. The value can be further improved during dive, making it more suitable for some medium-distance temporary support operations.
However, the existing mechanical level is limited, and there are fewer things that can be mounted after squeezing the load. There will be a lot of trouble in the future, and it may even need to be modified.
The third and fourth types of aircraft under test are also the same type. The only difference is that one is for passenger transport and the other is for military use.
The name of this model is "Manniu", and there is currently only one prototype.
The wingspan is 28 meters and the aircraft length is 20 meters. It is much larger than the Tornado. However, when calculating the height, it is not much different. The stopping height of the Tornado Type 3B is 4.1 meters, and the Manniu prototype is only 4.5 meters. It is a relative The slender configuration is not spacious enough for passenger transportation. With the progress of prototype testing and the development of Blue Sky Heavy Industry's technological level, many versions will need to be modified in the future.
The Manniu prototype is equipped with a water-cooled radial engine, with a total output of two engines of 1,800 kilowatts.
Water cooling is an effective way to solve the power bottleneck of the radial engine, but it is very heavy. One engine is close to two tons, and two engines have almost caught up with the total empty weight of Type III B. This engine is also considered a prototype. With later improvements, we may be able to reduce the weight by several hundred kilograms.
In addition, the Manniu prototype is also equipped with a magic buoyancy module and a magic emergency landing module.
Because this aircraft is large enough, it has been specifically designed to produce a smaller magical lift force in a specific area and will not interfere with the wing lift.
This kind of hybrid power brings extremely strong performance to Manniu.
The prototype currently has a standard (stable) take-off weight of 20.5 tons measured using counterweights. It is expected that after the completion of the airport renovation, the take-off weight can be increased by 5 tons under special mission conditions.
Just looking at the takeoff numbers doesn't seem to stand out, but everything has to be looked at in comparison.
The empty weight of Tornado III-B is nearly 5 tons, and the fully loaded take-off weight is 6.5 tons.
The empty weight of Manniu's prototype is 11 tons, which means that it only uses fuel and counterweight for normal takeoff, which can account for more than 86% of the empty weight. It has far exceeded the limit of a radial engine on an aircraft of this size and is close to a turbojet. The upper limit of load ratio (including oil) of formula power.
"Because the capability has been very strong, we plan to cancel the external plug-in solution and switch to all weapons built-in. This will eliminate the need to separate the combat type and transport type into two different bodies." An engineer from Blue Sky Heavy Industry was bragging next to him, seeming to want to Develop an efficient bomber in one step.
Wang Qi laughed and responded: "Don't be so hasty, take it step by step steadily, put more effort into personnel safety, and also consider emergency issues when the control system fails."
Someone hurriedly took note of it, and the engineer immediately agreed: "What His Majesty said is that the system integration of all aspects of the prototype was indeed a bit hasty."
After passing Manniu's ground support area, there are the last two test aircraft, both of the "Wooden Man" model.
Just by listening to the names, you can tell that these two planes grow on trees.
However, flying aircraft cannot be grown directly from trees. There will still be some manual processing work. According to the work suggestions given by Blue Sky Heavy Industry in the simultaneous testing, Wang Qi modified two versions, making the wings and body longer than each other. Suddenly I got nervous and made a strange structure.
The "wooden man" before the current version was formed in one piece, and there was no big problem. It was placed in the research institute as an experimental auxiliary machine.
Look at the attributes of philanthropist.
