After all the parts of the UAV were removed, Wang Bin and they were ready to install the wings and other modules of the UAV.
But just when Wang Bin and his team were ready to assemble the UAV, another truck came at the gate of the test field, and the length of the truck was longer than that of the truck Wang Bin and his team used. However, different from Wang Bin''s truck, the truck entering the test field was not a van, It''s a semi-trailer.
Most importantly, this semi-trailer is not loaded with ordinary small and medium-sized UAVs. Although the plane on this truck is wrapped in thick canvas like a rice dumpling, it should not be a jet or fixed wing UAV or a rotorcraft. It should be a helicopter, depending on its size, At least it should be a large helicopter, a strange UAV, or even a manned helicopter.
Thinking of this, Wang Bin subconsciously looked at the words on the canvas wrapped outside the plane.
"Kunlun commercial aircraft manufacturing company"
When Wang Bin saw these words, he knew the manufacturer of the aircraft. At the same time, he also understood that what was loaded on the truck should be a manned helicopter and a commercial multipurpose helicopter.
Looking at the truck approaching, Wang Bin looked for a while and didn''t pay much attention. After all, it was just a helicopter, and its size should be just a small commercial helicopter.
Although Wang Bin didn''t pay much attention to the helicopter, but bowed his head to continue to assemble the UAV of Tiangong technology, it doesn''t mean that other teams are flying in the test field and don''t pay much attention to the helicopter that has just entered the field
In fact, just when the truck entered the test field, other test teams in the test field noticed the arrival of the truck and the helicopter on the truck,
At the same time, their eyes are full of envy. After all, these teams present, whether student teams or teams of other companies, can only play with UAVs. However, this Kunlun commercial aircraft is also a private enterprise, but now people don''t play with UAVs and start playing with real manned aircraft.
Although the commercial helicopter of the Kunlun company is only a small helicopter, only the pilot can be added, and the maximum takeoff weight is about one ton. At the same time, the maximum speed is less than 200 kilometers per hour and the maximum range is less than 300 kilometers, anyway, The Kunlun aircraft has indeed successfully manufactured its own helicopter and has undergone many test flights.
This test flight is the last test flight of their company in this test field. If there is no problem with this test flight, the company''s helicopter will be transferred to the national official test flight center for test flight. As long as it is qualified and obtains various certificates, this helicopter can be sold on the market.
Of course, these people present, except Wang Bin and others, obviously know this, and it is precisely because of this that they envy.
Those student teams are OK. After all, the gap between the two sides is too big. What these student teams play is only micro UAVs, so although they envy, at least their mentality remains good.
However, the mentality of the teams of several other companies is not so balanced at this time, especially the teams that are conducting the test flight of large eight rotor UAV. After all, in their company, the company''s technology and capital are very good, so they also want to carry out the R & D and sales of real manned aircraft.
However, although their company has repeatedly submitted its intention to develop manned aircraft to its superiors, it has not obtained official approval, but the Kunlun company now entering the site has obtained official approval.
In fact, this is also their most unbalanced place, but they don''t think about it. The application they submitted is just an intention. In a bad word, it is just a plan.
Before that, they had no experience in manned aircraft manufacturing except that they had a certain technical accumulation in the UAV field. The official may approve their application!
Of course, they can also start research and development in this area first, wait until their helicopter is formed, at least wait until their helicopter design drawings come out, and then apply. Maybe it is more likely to pass.
However, unlike Kunlun company and Tiangong technology, although they have certain funds, they want to really develop and design a manned aircraft without the support of official funds. It''s just a fool''s dream. Without this fund, they can''t even achieve it in terms of technology.
Wang Bin naturally didn''t know what these teams thought. After the UAV of Tiangong technology was unloaded, he was equal to Yu Ping and began to assemble various modules of the UAV. It only took less than ten minutes for them to install the wings and other modules of the UAV.
When Wang Bin successfully installed the last module of the UAV, that is, the battery module, into the battery compartment and installed the glass skin, the whole UAV finally came into line and quietly stopped on the runway 3, waiting for takeoff.
Of course, the last battery module installed by Wang Bin is the second-generation superconducting battery module manufactured by Wang Bin himself. Although this superconducting battery module is not very large, that is, a single 100 mm multiplied by 100 mm battery, the power in the battery is as high as 500 kilowatts, that is, 500 kwh.
Of course, the main purpose of this battery is to provide energy for various electrical equipment on the UAV, such as steering communication. However, if it only provides energy for these equipment, it is natural not to use such a large capacity battery, or even ordinary battery is enough.
However, in addition to providing energy for these devices, this battery also undertakes the task of providing power energy for UAVs in an emergency or after the aircraft runs out of fuel, so it naturally needs sufficient capacity.
However, if the aircraft is driven by electricity in case of emergency or fuel depletion, its flight speed can not reach the speed above supersonic speed, and can only reach the level of no more than 400 kilometers per hour at most.
At the same time, if only electricity is used as energy, its range and load capacity will be greatly reduced. A 500 kW battery can only support the UAV for a distance of 500 or 600 kilometers at most, but this is enough for this UAV. After all, this is not an electric UAV, But a UAV that uses a fuel engine as the main power.
