Chapter 410 (2/2)

Its maximum flight speed, according to the data, has reached about mach. The maximum flight altitude. Due to the characteristics of pulse detonation engine, the flight altitude of this aircraft is also very high, and it can even fly to an altitude of more than 50000 meters. You know, at this altitude, it has reached the edge of the atmosphere.

At the same time, because this aircraft also has very strong stealth ability, for example, when the speed of this aircraft is lower than Mach 2, its stealth ability has exceeded the most advanced stealth fighter in the world.

However, when the speed of the aircraft reaches above Mach 2.2, the temperature of the aircraft body rises due to friction with the air, so the stealth ability will gradually lose. When the speed of the aircraft exceeds Mach 3.3, the stealth ability of the aircraft will also be completely ineffective.

After all, at such a speed, it is impossible to be invisible due to the light and heat generated by air friction and plasma.

Therefore, this aircraft is actually a real sixth generation aircraft. Although this aircraft is not a fighter or fighter, it is a true sixth generation aircraft and a sixth generation bomber.

Yes, this aircraft is not a multi-purpose transport aircraft like the phoenix-1 before, but a bomber that can only carry out bombing missions.

As for another space version of the Phoenix kt1 engine, this aircraft not only has the same performance as the previous Phoenix M1 when flying in the atmosphere, but also has the ability of space flight, and its carrying capacity is not weak.

According to the data, the aircraft can not only send up to ten astronauts into low earth orbit below 200 km, but also send up to 1.6 tons of cargo into low earth orbit below 150 km.

Of course, if it is used only as a cargo plane instead of carrying astronauts, the plane is absolutely capable of sending about 2 tons of cargo into a low earth orbit of about 200 kilometers.

Of course, compared with the carrying capacity of medium and heavy rockets, which are often more than ten or twenty tons, or even hundreds of tons, the difference is very large at sea, but you know, this is an aerospace plane!

As long as the maintenance of this aircraft is in place, this aircraft can definitely be used for ten years or more. At the same time, it also has the ability to take off repeatedly many times a day, which is absolutely unmatched by rockets, even reusable rockets.

Most importantly, in terms of cost, according to data calculation, it is about 80% lower than reusable rockets.

In other words, the cost of using this space plane is only one or two million per flight. Such a cost is definitely a very low price, and even many ordinary people can take it out.

Of course, these are only the data calculated by the design, not the real data, and the real data can only be known after the flight test.

Although the supercomputing of Tiangong technology has an artificial intelligence system, which has stronger technical ability and more accurate data, it can not be used as real data.

As the status of the two aircraft is getting closer to completion, Wang Bin pays more and more attention to the two aircraft. Especially in these days, as the two aircraft are about to be completed, Wang Bin also stays in the No. 2 assembly workshop every day to assemble the two aircraft together with the workers and masters.

And as the time for completion and offline is getting closer and closer, both Wang Bin and the masters in the workshop are more and more excited.

Because, as long as these two aircraft, especially the successful R & D, manufacturing and test flight of aerospace aircraft, it represents that China and Tiangong technology have officially entered the space age, which is absolutely a milestone for the whole human civilization, and even no less than the role of the industrial revolution in human civilization, because it marks the arrival of a new era.
