Everyone has a dream, and Mu Xinghai is especially strong; but reality makes it difficult for him to spread his wings.
But today, September 27, 2045, this will be the most important day in my life! A combat-style aircraft parked in front of him. This was an unprecedented aircraft. It was a completely new aircraft built with a design that subverted existing concepts.
While other fighter jets are still struggling with thrust-to-weight ratios ranging from 1:1 to 1:1.5, and when ordinary civilian aircraft are still struggling with thrust-to-weight ratios of 1:10 or more, Master Company's fighter jets are beyond imagination: thrust 100 , and the self-weight is only 20! Thrust to weight ratio: 1:0.2!
Only by standing in front of this aircraft can you feel its beauty!
Unlike those experts who talk nonsense, they are still stuck in theory, and it is low-speed theory; but only by experiencing Mu Xinghai who told the fighter jets, can you feel how exquisite the aircraft in front of you is and how exquisite the design is. !
In the sky, when the aircraft speed is below Mach 1 and above Mach 1, the aerodynamic forces are completely different; and when the aircraft speed exceeds Mach 5, then at this time, the air is almost as solid as water! This is caused by the huge lift and drag generated by rapid sprinting.
Therefore, when the speed of an aircraft exceeds Mach 5, the design of low-speed aircraft can no longer be used; because at this time, the air in the sky is like the sea, and its behavior is no different from that of sea water. I have never heard of anyone whose submarine design has a very complicated appearance, like this or that, with only a rudder that simply adjusts the direction and height.
Similarly, on such a super-high-speed aircraft, this design is also suitable. When the aircraft speed is high enough, too much aerodynamic design is resistance. The aircraft in front of me is a childish aircraft in the eyes of experts. In Mu Xinghai's eyes, it is a real super-fast fighter.
The last time, I only flew China's Aircraft Dragon fighter once, and then I never had contact with it again. I have been receiving training in space. But for any pilot, the ground is just a place to rest, the sky is the place of dreams; and space is where dreams sublime!
Touching the slightly cold fuselage, Mu Xinghai discovered many differences. Although the fuselage looks to be made of plastic, this plastic is obviously not the kind of plastic announced by the master company; this plastic actually has a metal texture; some key parts are even covered with metal skins. Except for tires, which are materials that I am familiar with, there is no other material that I know. Sure enough, as he thought, it was impossible for a super-fast fighter to use ordinary materials.
The fuselage is cold, even if I hold it with my hands for a long time, or even if it is exposed to the hot desert sun, it is still cold! A terrifying thought arose in Mu Xinghai's heart: insulating materials! Although the first Feilong fighter jet used thermal insulation materials, that insulation material was definitely a hole left by Zhang Jingyuan. Platinum was used to produce thermal insulation materials - China only produced a small amount of it; the later finalized Feilong fighter jets were still made of titanium alloy. Mainly, materials made of platinum are only used in key parts such as engines.
At 11 o'clock at noon, there was already a sea of people around. Of course, 90% of the people here were from the master company, a total of 100,000 people; and there were also the audience from Xijiang. Expert companies don’t mind exposing this aircraft to the public. If you have the ability, just copy it! I guess except for the tires, everything else is just a fantasy.
With excitement, Mu Xinghai boarded the plane that almost coincided with his dream, a plane completely designed for ultra-high speed.
The aircraft does not adopt a vertical take-off and landing design, but because of its super powerful engine, the take-off runway is only 90 meters.
The hatch cover slowly closed, and at the first moment, Mu Xinghai discovered the difference: the hatch cover was not made of plexiglass, nor was it made of any material he had seen; these were not important, what was important was the refractive index! The refractive index of this material is the same as that of the atmosphere! In other words, there is no need to consider the refractive index issue at all! This alone makes this aircraft exciting enough.
On the operation panel, as expected, there are very few buttons as described in the information. There are only a few operating levers and a power adjustment button. It is much simpler than ordinary fuel fighters! It's just that there are a total of 7 data display screens in the front, which makes me a little dazzled.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Xinghai pressed the start switch, and then slowly adjusted the power - 10%, 20%...
The plane slowly accelerated, feeling his body pressed tightly against the seat. Mu Xinghai was content to enjoy this, this was the enjoyment of flying!
In just a few seconds, Mu Xinghai felt that the plane began to climb. The most important thing was that the plane was very stable without any bumps!
On the ground, everyone only saw a burst of hot red gas spurting out, and then it instantly programmed into light blue, and finally turned colorless; but the plane accelerated rapidly, and in just three seconds, it rushed out of the runway, as if dexterously. The swallows flew into the sky.
At this time, Mu Xinghai suddenly adjusted the power to 70%! Suddenly, I felt a loud shock, and the plane suddenly accelerated. The huge acceleration made it difficult to breathe and couldn't open my eyes. As a talent who often undergoes aerospace-level training, I feel like I am on the verge of death... My throat is constricting, my blood seems to be stagnant, and the huge acceleration makes my body on the verge of collapse! But mentally, Mu Xinghai seemed to have obtained a different kind of sublimation.
The plane broke through the sound barrier almost instantly, as if it had smashed an invisible wall. After a brief violent shake, the plane accelerated suddenly.
On the ground it's not so good. The plane just started to accelerate suddenly and break through the sound barrier when it was only about ten meters above the ground. Hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity exploded in an instant!
Like a bomb, it exploded with a bang, instantly sending dust flying all over the sky, sweeping more than ten meters into the sky; the earth shook and the air trembled! A sand pit with a diameter of 30 meters appeared out of thin air! People watching the fighter take off for the first time screamed in horror. Just now, it seemed as if the fighter was not accelerating, but the fuel tank was exploding. Fortunately, the experienced people all opened their eyes wide and watched as a faint white halo appeared and disappeared in a flash. This is because there is very little water in the desert air. If it is in a coastal area, an obvious circle of white smoke will form. This is the reaction after breaking the sound barrier.
Then, the aircraft's tail and wing tips were like sharp knives, drawing lines of faint smoke in the air. In the blink of an eye, the plane had flown over several sand dunes and disappeared.
"Accelerate! Accelerate!" Mu Xinghai gritted his teeth and saw that the battery had reached his limit at only 70%, but no, how could such an excellent aircraft only use 70% of the battery? After all, he was still To test the aircraft.
As the speed of the aircraft increased, the acceleration began to decrease. Mu Xinghai turned on the automatic control, and the power began to increase at a rate of 0.1%. Mach 2.2! Suddenly, Mu Xinghai heard the prompt! Mach 2.2-2.5 is another limit of the aircraft: thermal barrier! At this time, a large amount of heat has accumulated on the surface of the aircraft, but there is no time to release it. If ordinary materials are like this for a long time, they will deform, such as softening.
