The test flight of the new aerospace plane was quite successful. Although the aerospace plane did not actually break through the atmosphere and enter space, it still flew to an altitude of 30,000 meters with the powerful thrust of the engine, and always maintained a supersonic speed of Mach 7.
This is very incredible for an aircraft. After all, under normal circumstances, the flying speed of supersonic fighters is below Mach 3.
Although it is possible to build an aircraft that can accelerate to Mach 10, such aircraft are not aircraft that require high maneuverability like fighter jets.
As for the reason, it is not that there are any technical obstacles, but that when maneuvering at high speeds, pilots cannot withstand the ultra-high G forces caused by large-scale maneuvers at hypersonic speeds.
Although astronauts can withstand greater G forces after rigorous training with the anti-load design of their space suits, the problem is that it is impossible to make every fighter pilot reach the level of an astronaut, and it is impossible to give every fighter pilot The pilots also wear space suits.
Therefore, in order to protect the pilots, the flight speed of the fighter jets is also limited.
In fact, in the Nantianmen Project, the original Xuannv aerial drone fighter also adopted a design to protect the pilot because it was designed in a manned mode. Its flight speed in the atmosphere was limited to about Mach 5. Only Only after leaving the atmosphere can it reach the second cosmic speed of Mach 25.
In a completely unmanned state, this consideration can be omitted. After all, whether the aircraft itself can withstand such a large G force is a matter of material, and the upper limit of what metal can withstand is obviously far beyond that of humans.
Therefore, even at the supersonic speed of Mach 7, this test-flying aerospace aircraft technology demonstrator can still perform various maneuvers and has good performance and performance.
But even so, there are still many problems with this technical verification aircraft. After all, it is a piece of technology from various companies. Although there is no problem in making the aircraft fly, there are still some coordination problems between the various technologies. .
It is precisely because of these small problems that this aerospace plane did not complete all test flight projects.
After all, according to the design, this test flight technology verification aircraft was to try to fly to an altitude of 40,000 meters and perform hypersonic cruise flight at Mach 10, but now it has only reached an altitude of 30,000 meters and a speed of Mach 7.
This obviously does not meet the expected requirements.
Therefore, after the aircraft returned, it was immediately taken back to the hangar by the aerospace aircraft project team, and inspection and adjustments began immediately.
As for the aerospace plane, Chen Xin did not intervene. Although if he did, let alone the aerospace plane designed now, even if the Xuannv fighter plane in the conceptual state of the Nantianmen Project was really built, it would be nothing more to Chen Xin. Things that stir your thoughts.
But this obviously conflicts with the joint research itself. After all, the purpose of each country is to integrate the technologies of various countries through joint research, not to say that this aerospace fighter is missing.
And more importantly, only by walking this entire R&D route once can you accumulate enough experience.
I don’t mean to say that the airplane has been built. I just know how to build it, but I don’t know why it was built this way.
This was also the blood and tears Yan Guo experienced back then. Because the industrial base was weak in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, many things were built with Soviet assistance. Later, relations with the Soviet Union deteriorated and technical support for many things was cut off. , I had no choice but to start over on my own in research and development. Not only did I suffer a lot, but I still lagged behind others.
It was not until a few years before the disaster that the country's overall foundation was established and the accumulation of various technologies reached the threshold, and then it caught up with others.
Therefore, technology research and development is still very important. It does not mean that Chen Xin can solve the problem by upgrading the system and producing a finished product and asking them to do reverse research.
Although Chen Xin can build the Xuannv Fighter through system upgrades, there are no scientific researchers who can complete the entire research and development route step by step. Even if they can reverse engineer all the technologies on the Xuannv Fighter, the country can only obtain these technologies. To really use them in practice, we still need to go through the product development route again.
It doesn't matter if there are ready-made products for technological upgrading. As long as the upgrade is not too faulty, it can provide scientific researchers with ideas and reduce their many groping and detours.
But you can't do this with a product made from scratch, especially the technology on the Xuannv fighter jet, which is completely black technology, and the gap between it and the technology currently mastered by humans is too obvious.
Humanity's understanding of these technologies is still at the theoretical and conceptual stage. Even if we really have these technologies, it is still not easy to master them.
After all, a technology is not just a matter of having it. You also need to study it thoroughly, master the principles and be able to actually apply it. Only then can you truly master a technology.
Moreover, the development of science and technology has its own context and style. This can be seen from the early military equipment of the Yan State with a strong Suvian style. Even today, the scientific and technological development and military equipment routes of the Yan State have gone out of their way. Although he has lost his own style, he can still see the shadow of the Soviet Union technology of the past.
This is the so-called technology system. After all, the Soviet technology style was obviously different from the Federation technology style.
The technologies between the two cannot be said to be completely different, but it took Yanguo's scientific researchers many years of time and experience to integrate the two.
And this is still technology at the same level at the same time. If there is a technology that is decades ahead, it is really not something that can be absorbed in a short time.
This is just like the power armor, Titan and other equipment currently used by the Yan Kingdom. Although Chen Xin created these things through upgrades, the related technologies have been under reverse research.
There are many problems that Yanguo's scientific researchers are groping for while they are making. As for what problems there are and how to improve them, they are all blind.
We can only build the gourd according to what Chen Xin has created, and send it to the battlefield for actual combat. If problems are encountered in actual combat, we can make minor repairs based on feedback.
It is still difficult to understand the technology thoroughly and design a similar product yourself.
Otherwise, it would not be the case until now. The power armor, exoskeletons, heavy mechas and Titans used by Yan Guo were all created by Chen Xin.
This is also what a senior leader in charge of science and technology talked about when Chen Xin came to talk to him.
Although the country does need these things that Chen Xin has created, and is very grateful for his contribution to the country, the development of science and technology cannot be done in such a way.
