After listening to Wang Bin''s words, for a moment, Qiu Shi and them were greatly surprised and didn''t believe it.
However, their hearts very much hope that what Wang Bin said is true.
Because if Tiangong technology really develops an aircraft that can fly in space, as long as the price does not really exceed the official and the military''s bottom line, the military will definitely buy such an aircraft.
And as long as there is a real space plane, the Chinese air force may have to change its name and become an air and space army. The real air and space army is not like some foreign countries. There are no aircraft that can really fly in the air and space, but only a few satellites.
And with aerospace aircraft, the strategic combat capability of the air force will definitely be greatly improved in the future.
Looking at their disbelief, Wang Bin reconfirmed: "division Qiu, and all experts, this plane is indeed an aerospace plane, and it is also a real aerospace plane.
However, at this time, although it seems that the aircraft has been almost manufactured, in fact, the aircraft is still far from the real assembly.
Although it looks similar, in fact, there are many equipment inside the aircraft, such as biological maintenance system, air circulation and water circulation system, which have not been installed yet, "Wang Bin said.
After all, according to Wang Bin, the plane is not a model plane, but an aerospace plane that can really fly in the sky. How can this make them not excited.
Then Wang Bin carefully introduced the data of the overhead plane for us.
This makes them look forward to the aircraft even more. Although according to Wang Bin, the aircraft can only send spacecraft into low earth orbit below 200 kilometers at most, anyway, it is also a spacecraft that can take off from the ground and enter space directly without rockets.
As time went on, after the crowd watched the space plane for a while, everyone finally remembered the purpose of Tiangong science and technology, that is, to test fly the phoenix-m1 bomber.
When you came next to the Phoenix M1 bomber again, you obviously felt very different when you saw the plane.
In the past, they still had great doubts about whether Tiangong technology could develop ultra-high speed bombers.
Well, now they have believed that Tiangong technology is absolutely capable of developing ultra-high speed bombers in a short time. At the same time, they have also very much believed in the performance data of this aircraft.
But anyway, even if the technology of the aircraft is advanced, the aircraft is more reliable.
The flight test still needs to be carried out. After all, many things can only be obtained after the flight test.
With the arrival of the test flight time, the phoenix-m1 aircraft finally left the assembly workshop slowly under the traction of the tractor and came to the take-off point of the runway.
Just as the Phoenix -m1 was being towed outside by the tractor, everyone looked at the plane.
"Mr. Wang, to tell you the truth, although this Phoenix M1 aircraft is one level lower than the Phoenix kt1 aircraft you are manufacturing, it is undeniable that this Phoenix M1 aircraft is definitely a great bomber, which really makes me feel very proud." at this time, an expert who came with division Qiu said.
"Yes! This phoenix-m1 aircraft is really beautiful. I can''t get tired of it!
Not to mention its performance, only in terms of appearance, it is absolutely beautiful. It can even be said that it is one of the most beautiful aircraft in the world. Even the latest sixth generation aircraft being developed by the bald eagle, that is, the F-X model, can never be compared with this aircraft, "said another expert.
At this time, Qiu Shi also said: "indeed, the shape of this aircraft is really excellent. Of course, in addition, the shape of other models of Tiangong technology aircraft is good, especially the aerospace aircraft. Its shape is even more beautiful than this aircraft."
Of course, the tractor has towed the aircraft to the runway. At the same time, the crew has already been on the aircraft and has begun to inspect the aircraft.
At the same time, the ground crew began to get busy and began to check the aircraft in all aspects and refuel the aircraft.
However, because this aircraft is an ultra-high speed bomber, the fuel used is naturally not ordinary fuel, because ordinary fuel is not enough to make the aircraft fly five or six times the speed of sound, and it is not enough to send the aircraft to the stratosphere more than 40000 meters.
Therefore, the fuel used by the aircraft is not ordinary fuel, but elevated liquid hydrogen is used as the fuel of the aircraft.
During the chat between Wang Bin and Qiu Shi, the fuel of the aircraft and the inspection of the aircraft by the ground crew were finally completed, and the aircraft was finally ready for a real test flight.
At this time, a distant No. 11 aircraft, also pulled by the tractor, slowly came to the take-off runway of the airport, and took off first in the eyes of everyone. Then the phoenix-m1 aircraft also started the aircraft''s pulse detonation engine, and the aircraft began to slide forward slowly, and the speed became faster and faster under the action of the engine.
However, as an ultra-high speed aircraft with a very large wing sweep angle, the taxiing distance required for the takeoff of this aircraft is not comparable to that of an ordinary aircraft. According to the data, even when the aircraft is empty, it needs a taxiing distance of at least 1500 meters.
If it is in the full state, the running distance needs to be at least 3000 meters.
Therefore, when the aircraft taxied nearly 1500 meters on the ground, the speed of the aircraft was already very fast, reaching more than 100 meters per second.
Until this time, the crew on the plane slowly pulled up the nose, and the plane slowly left the ground.
As the plane slowly left the ground, the personnel inside the command tower, including Wang Bin, suddenly clapped.
After all, the plane took off successfully, which proves that there is no problem with the basic design of the plane.
With the successful take-off of the aircraft, the speed of the aircraft continued to improve. At the same time, the flight direction of the aircraft was the same as that of the previous aircraft test flight, and it also flew towards the East China Sea, and soon crossed the coastline and came over the East China Sea.
At the same time, the accompanying No. 11 main fighter has also flown to the test flight area and began to fly with this aircraft.
Because the subjects of the test flight were not supersonic or hypersonic, and the Phoenix M1 aircraft was not filled with fuel, the aircraft began to return after half an hour of the test flight.
Like taking off, the taxiing distance required for the landing of this aircraft is much longer than that of ordinary bombers. According to the data, it also needs at least 1500 meters.
Of course, this is without auxiliary landing supporting role. If you use parachutes and other auxiliary tools, it''s another thing. Even if you want to shorten the running distance to less than 1000 meters, it''s very easy.
