Chapter 430 Test flight

Seven days passed by quickly, and the long-lost lights on the runway of the combat readiness airport were brightly lit.

The ground crew is carefully inspecting the runway and has not been used for a long time. They need to conduct inspections before takeoff to ensure that there are no foreign objects on the runway that affect the takeoff and landing of the plane.

The airport tower in the distance also lit up for a long time and entered the activation state, and a large number of people were waiting here to watch the upcoming test flight.

"The inspection of runway No. 1 has been completed, with no foreign objects, no icy, and the conditions for takeoff are met." News of the inspection being completed soon came from the runway.

"The runway has been confirmed, please take off from Runway 1." After receiving the message, the tower's Wisdom said to the plane that had been pushed out of the hangar and was ready to take off through the intercom.

"The test machine was received and was taxiing into the runway." Soon the test machine also sent a reply.

From the window of the airport tower, you can clearly see an aircraft slowly sliding from the hangar into the end of the runway, adjusting its position to prepare for takeoff.

"Can you really fly?" The leader who came to watch this test flight asked the people around him, as if he was worried.

"Leader, don't worry. Although Academician Chen is young, there has never been any problems with the project he is responsible for." The staff next to the leader said hurriedly. Although he blindly believed Chen Xin's suspicion, it was obvious that he could not pour cold water on him at this time.

After all, who knows whether the leader is really worried or ask casually?

However, this test flight does have certain hidden dangers. Chen Xin was able to complete the aircraft's transformation plan and specific transformation in such a short time, but now he still has to do the test flight, which inevitably makes people feel a little worried.

Although Chen Xin did complete the renovation plan on time in seven days, and also completed the renovation of the aircraft used for transformation experiments, and pushed it onto the runway to prepare for a test flight, the time was really too short.

If it is normal, not to mention rigorous technical demonstration, the aircraft itself needs to undergo a series of rigorous inspections and acceptances to ensure that the inspection is correct before it can be truly tested.

But now, this test aircraft has only been seven days since Chen Xin took over the mission to the runway.

Although Chen Xin has organized technical demonstrations and various inspections after he completed the transformation, there is no problem in theory, but who can guarantee that there will be no problems after the plane flies?

You should know that even if the aircraft has undergone technical demonstration and various inspections, there will still be various problems during the test flight. After all, no one knows what kind of situation will happen if the aircraft really flies into the sky. If you are not careful, the plane will be destroyed and the person will die.

And this is why test pilots are the most elite pilots, and aircraft test flights are still one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

If possible, the leader will certainly not let the precious pilot take risks like this, and will let the technicians conduct more detailed technical demonstrations and inspections, and will not only give Chen Xin seven days to get a result.

However, time is really not enough, and I don’t have enough time to take it slowly.

During the seven days after Chen Xin transformed the plane, the volcanic ash erupted from the Doba volcano had already dispersed to Qiongzhou and Guangdong Province. Although the earthquake did not trigger a tsunami due to the ice on the sea surface, a large amount of ice cracked, and even some of the broken ice was overturned to the coastline, which still made people feel the existence of the crisis.

In addition, the most important thing is that a magnitude 3.5 earthquake occurred in the southwest region during these seven days. Although the magnitude is not strong, it made everyone nervous.

This earthquake may be just a very ordinary geological activity, after all, the southwest region itself is in a earthquake-prone area.

But what if? What if the eruption of the Doba volcano affects the seismic belt in the southwest region and makes it active?

No one dares to bet on this possibility.

What the country can do now is to make timely preparations and make all preparations that can be carried out in advance to avoid being in a hurry and not being able to do anything when disasters may occur in the future.

"Where is Comrade Chen Xin? Don't he come to see the test flight?" The leader's eyes turned, and he did not see Chen Xin on the tower.

The staff hurriedly replied: "Academician Chen is on the hangar and said he wants to do the final inspection before the plane takes off."

"I understand." The leader nodded and said nothing.

At this time, the plane on the runway had completed all inspections before takeoff and was ready for takeoff.

"The tower, here is a test aircraft, requesting takeoff." The pilot's voice seemed a little nervous, but he still applied for takeoff with a firm voice.

The commander of the tower looked at the leader and nodded when he saw the leader, then said to the pilot: "Testing aircraft, this is the tower, and it is allowed to take off."

After saying that, the commander seemed to hesitate for a moment and said for the first time: "Peace all the way."

Hearing this, the pilot was stunned for a moment, but he responded quickly: "Thank you for your blessing, I'm about to take off."

As the pilot finished speaking, everyone in the tower saw the plane parked at the end of the runway and began to taxi forward and was accelerating continuously.

This time, everyone's hearts in the tower were thrust, and they looked nervously at the first fixed-wing aircraft that took off after the meteorite hit Blue Star.

As the plane became faster and faster and closer to the end of the runway, the nose finally lifted up, and the whole plane roared up from the runway and rushed into the night sky.

Seeing the plane take off successfully, everyone in the tower cheered and even applauded.

Although this seems just a very ordinary night flight, it means that humans have finally imprinted their footprints in the sky again.

However, flying does not mean there is no problem. The ground is far better than in the sky. Most particles and dust have fallen down in the past year, but there are still a lot of dust and particles suspended in the sky.

Especially above the stratosphere, because the original air flow is relatively stable, a large number of fine dust and particles are suspended in the air for a long time and will not fall in a short period of time.

This also leads to the fact that when the aircraft enters the stratosphere, the engine will inevitably inhale a large amount of dust and particles due to the intake of air, which will cause wear on the precision components in the engine.

Although Chen Xin has installed air filters on the air intake duct of the plane, the specific effect can only be known if he can fly to the sky and actually fly around.
