Chapter 978 Flying

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
In order to make the slider run, the Ministry of Construction built a track directed towards the sea along the Shiling Mountains in accordance with Roland's requirements, and the two ends of the road surface were raised upwards, like a crescent moon.

When the experimental prototype is lifted into place, as long as the fixture is released, it will start to slide under the action of gravity until it breaks out of the track. The entire acceleration process is quite like a roller coaster in later generations, but it is far less exciting.

Of course, these alone cannot guarantee that the wings can get enough lift, so Wendy needs to create some upside.

Once you jump out of the stone ridge, the height difference between the sea is as high as fifteen meters, which is a sufficient adjustment space. At the speed of the slide, both the driver and the ambulance can be prepared whether it is climbing or falling into the sea.

This is also the reason why Roland put two seats on the prototype at the beginning.

Now Lightning and Maisie are fighting in the wilderness, and the responsibility of rescue is naturally handed over to Tilly.

The latter readily agreed.

Let's board the plane. Roland thought that the time was almost over, so he turned around and said to the two of them.

Wendy nodded, clenched her fists as if she was cheering herself up, and then she and Tilly walked towards the aircraft.

……

After climbing onto the plane, Wendy realized that this thing was much bigger than she thought.

Especially the two pairs of straight wings above the head and under the feet, no bird can compare with them. Even Maisie, who became a beast, is a little short of her length.

Under the sea breeze, the sharp wing tips could be seen to tremble, which made her feel a little uneasy, and she always felt that once she flew up, she could break it as long as a gust of wind blew.

Although Roland once mentioned that this is a normal phenomenon, the strength of the aluminum skeleton can handle various maneuvers during low-speed flight, and the toughness of the skin painted by Soloya is far stronger than that of ordinary leather and fabric, these two wings are really thin, and compared with their area, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a piece of paper.

Sir, if you are ready, just inform me. The soldier's words made Wendy come to her senses a little.

I got it, well... the first thing to do is...

Confirm whether each rudder surface is normal.Tillie behind her comforted her, "Don't be nervous, even if something goes wrong, I'll look at you."

……Thanks.Wendy felt much more at ease when she heard this sentence. Yes, she was not the only one who heard the flight principle lesson that His Majesty told. If someone could correct her omissions in time, she could make fewer mistakes.

First, the tail elevator is controlled by the main pull rod.

Wendy took a deep breath and pulled a iron rod in front of the seat with both hands. A creaking sound came from beneath her body. She knew it was the sound of the steel wire pulling the tail wing. Before the prototype was built, she had practiced on the simulation stage hundreds of times.

The elevator is normal, and then...well, the rudder.Tilly continued.

However, the components on the simulation table are much simpler. Two vertical poles, two pedals, and a few steel cables constitute it all. Wendy couldn't believe that these things can make the slider in His Majesty's mouth fly like a bird. After all, it is not much more complicated than a bicycle.

If the lifting lever is a rod that can only move forward and backward, then the direction control lever can only move left and right, the deck has fixed their trajectory, and the bicycle faucet can at least turn around.

The rudder is also normal, and finally the ailerons.

According to Your Majesty, most of the planes have three sets of wings, one in front and two in the back. The three seem to form a earth-shaped symbol from the front.

The rudder is upright, and its function is similar to a rudder. If you imagine the wind as water flow, its deflection can change the direction of the machine head.

The first shorter horizontal bar is the elevator, which can also be called the tail wing. When lifting, the head of the opportunity is raised, and when falling, the head of the opportunity falls, it looks like a lying down rudder.

Both are very easy to understand. Wendy can use the decomposition and synthesis of forces in primary physics to presumably determine its principle of action.

The last bar represents the aileron. It was not until I saw the real object that Wendy understood where the word "Add" came from. It was embedded in the big wings, and its area was less than one-tenth of that of the former. It was connected by the steel cable passing through the skeleton and the pedal under his feet, just one on one side.

It is different from the first two. It must be lifted and dropped to be effective. The completely opposite forces on both sides will deflect or even roll, and it is also the most important control component in flight.

Wendy once asked Your Majesty why there is a pair of ailerons to be set up in this regard since the rudder can cause deflection. Your Majesty's explanation is that these three rudder surfaces are not effective alone, and each action needs to be completed together. If you only swing the rudder, it is easy to cause the body to move horizontally. When turning rapidly, you also need to lower the elevator to stabilize the height.

Because of this, he needed a detailed test data to write a guiding "Flight Manual" that needs to be taken to achieve maneuver under different attitudes; or the impact of changes in wind direction on the aircraft, and the shortcomings felt during operation... After obtaining these data, it is possible for a truly reliable aircraft to achieve it.

The ailerons looked fine, Tilly patted her on the shoulder and then handed it to you.

Wendy felt her heart beating a little hard. She glanced at His Majesty the King in the distance, turned to the soldier and said, "I'm ready, turn on the fixture."

Yes, please pay attention!The soldiers immediately became busy.

The runway has been cleared and the green light is on, Wendy silently recited in her heart.Although I don’t understand what this command means, since Your Majesty says it can bring luck, then do it as you want.

With a slight shock, the slider type was pushed onto the track.

Then there is whereabouts.

The wheels and the track made a clanging sound, and the entire fuselage trembled. She felt that she was sliding down from the top of the slope quickly, and the sea at the end of the track was getting closer and closer to her.

A heart instantly rose to my throat.

What to do next?

She thought in a panic, seeing that the track had been halfway through, but there was no sign of this thing flying.

Give the wind!Tilly shouted.

Yes, she needs to create a stable and gentle upper hand to gently lift the huge wings.

As soon as this thought came out, her body had already taken action. The magic vortex started to flow, and an invisible airflow appeared out of thin air, gently pressing under the wings.

The harsh friction sound suddenly reduced a lot, and the weight of the slide-type plane seemed to no longer exist. Before Wendy could understand the meaning of these changes, the plane had already rushed out of the edge of the stone ridge.

A brief upturn made her experience a clear sense of overweight, as if someone reached out to press her on the seat.

At the same time, the body leaned back and made her unable to help but pull down the main pull rod.

The nose responded to her control and lifted it more clearly.

The perspective also changed, and the brown land covered with dead grass and fallen leaves disappeared without a trace. Even the wide vortex sea became a supporting role. The blue sky filled most of her vision, and the dazzling light spots made her narrow her eyes slightly.

For a moment, Wendy felt like a sea rising from the sky, walking against the light.

This feeling was so free that she also understood why His Majesty said that airplanes and hot air balloons are two completely different things.

But just a few seconds later, Wendy found that the wind in her ears had subsided.

The nose of the slider was raised high, but it did not continue to climb, and time seemed to be still.

She wanted to increase the wind, but found that the wind blowing on the main wing not only did not reverse the dilemma, but instead caused the fuselage to turn upside down.

You've pulled your head too far!Tilly exclaimed.

Before I could think about what was wrong, the plane had already fallen down like a stone.
