Although the No. 3 aircraft was hit by meteorites when it entered space, fortunately, there was no problem when it re entered the atmosphere and successfully entered the landing state.
Soon, at about one o''clock in the afternoon, Wang Bin and others finally saw the three returned spaceplanes. Seeing that the three planes, especially the astronauts, were safe, Wang Bin and others were completely relieved.
So Wang Bin and his team, after the three spaceplanes landed one after another, Wang Bin and the technicians of Tiangong technology hurried to the runway. Of course, the first to arrive at the three planes was naturally the shuttle car for astronauts. After all, these astronauts will be sent to a special place immediately after landing, Carry out disinfection and sterilization.
Then, other vehicles dedicated to cooling and cleaning these aircraft came to the scene and cooled them. Finally, when all these were completed, Wang Bin and others came to the side of the aircraft and began a preliminary inspection of the three aircraft.
I don''t know if I didn''t check it. Once I checked it, Wang Bin and the technicians of Tiangong technology were really surprised. After inspection, Wang Bin found that the air and space test flight was actually very dangerous. In the whole fleet, in fact, not only one aircraft No. 3 was hit by meteorites.
In addition to aircraft No. 3, in fact, aircraft No. 1 and No. 2 were also impacted by meteorites, and there was more than one impact point. According to the meteorite debris posted on the aircraft''s thermal insulation glass, there were basically three or five traces on each aerospace aircraft.
In other words, in the course of this test flight, except for the impact point on plane 3, several other planes were hit by meteorites many times.
This makes everyone present sweat. If these meteorites are a little bigger, if these aircraft don''t have special glass insulation, then the consequences
However, fortunately, except that the impact meteorite at the cargo warehouse of aircraft No. 3 was relatively large, causing a piece of thermal insulation glass rupture and aircraft skin depression for the aircraft, other meteorites were obviously small in volume, so they did not break through and damage the special glass thermal insulation layer of the aircraft, nor did they cause any damage to the aircraft skin.
It can be seen from here that the defense capability of these aerospace aircraft of Tiangong technology is still very excellent.
After all, if this happens to other spacecraft, even large rockets, after such a strong impact, it is very likely to cause the failure of rocket launch and the damage of spacecraft.
Therefore, when everyone present saw the wreckage on these planes, they all took a breath. At the same time, they also felt very lucky, especially for the requirements put forward by Wang Bin when designing this aircraft.
You know, at the beginning, when they designed the aircraft by Tiangong technology, many designers and technicians proposed in Wang Bin that it was necessary to install heat insulation modules outside the aircraft skin, just like tanks with additional armor, but they didn''t understand it.
After all, according to the calculation of technicians, the aircraft has a very strong high temperature resistance even without the thermal insulation glass panel module. After all, the space alloy steel used in the aircraft skin has a very high heat resistance. It is absolutely unnecessary to add an additional thermal insulation layer on the outside of the aircraft.
And doing so will greatly increase the overall weight of the aircraft, so that the carrying capacity of the aerospace aircraft with very limited glass carrying capacity will decline again.
But now it seems that Wang Bin has already predicted this situation. Otherwise, if the special glass plate module is not installed according to the opinions of the previous design department, the outcome of the three spaceplanes and the astronauts can be imagined.
At that time, their Tiangong technology will certainly be to blame, so their development of Tiangong technology in the aerospace field will certainly be greatly hit, and even have a very adverse impact on China and the world''s aerospace industry.
After all, these are three space planes, and there are as many as 18 astronauts in these three space planes. If they really cause aircraft damage and human death, the consequences can be imagined.
We should know that with the investment of Tiangong technology in the aerospace field and its achievements in this field over this period of time, the original and some tense international situation has improved significantly. All countries have begun to invest money in human aerospace industry, and they can''t take into account others.
However, if something happens this time, it is likely to attack the enthusiasm of countries in this regard. Naturally, they will turn their attention to the limited resources on the earth. At that time, conflict will be inevitable.
After a preliminary inspection of the external conditions of the aircraft, Wang Bin immediately ordered the technicians to move the aircraft to the hangar and prepare for a more in-depth inspection of the aircraft, especially the basic structure of the aircraft.
After all, once there is a problem with the internal structure of the aircraft, if you continue to fly, the consequences will be very serious, even if it is only one percent or even one thousandth of the chance.
At the same time, when the aircraft entered the hangar and was ready for inspection, President Qiu, who had participated in the flight test since the flight test of the aerospace aircraft, immediately reported the situation here to the superior department.
After all, it is impossible for him not to report such an important matter to his superiors. After listening to President Qiu''s words, his superiors and the Aerospace Department immediately made a detailed analysis report on the incident.
And check whether the accident was man-made or really an accident.
After all, many people are very worried about the development speed of Tiangong technology in Huatian technology, and even try every means to stop or attack the aerospace industry of Tiangong technology, but they didn''t have a chance before.
But fortunately, after a detailed analysis, the official did not find any man-made traces, so this incident was an accident.
Of course, after getting this result, the official paid more attention to the Phoenix kt1 aerospace aircraft of Tiangong technology. You know, it was hit by meteorites during the flight!
Even if the size of these meteorites is not large, the largest is only a few centimeters, and the speed of these meteorites is not very fast. At most, they are only faster than ordinary spacecraft, but it is already very fast.
However, under such circumstances, none of these planes was directly destroyed, and even all of them returned to the ground safely. Moreover, in terms of astronauts, they were all safe and no one was injured. How can this not be ignored by the authorities!
