Chapter 425 (1/2)

However, at this time, the crew did not reduce the altitude of the aircraft, and allowed the aircraft to continue to fly forward with inertia. After all, the speed of the aircraft is too fast. In addition, the aircraft is close to the edge of the atmosphere and the air is very thin. Therefore, under such circumstances, the steering of the aircraft is extremely difficult, and because the speed is too fast, If you forcibly change the direction of the aircraft, it is likely to cause aircraft damage and death.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the aircraft can't turn under such circumstances. In fact, under such circumstances, the aircraft can still turn, but the turning range can't be too large, that is to say, the aircraft at this time can't maneuver in a small range.

Finally, when the speed of the aircraft was reduced to Mach 5 again, the aircraft had reached an altitude of 50000 meters, which was definitely the edge of the atmosphere in the real sense.

At the same time, everyone in the tower is very nervous at this time. After all, this altitude has reached the edge of the atmosphere, so they are most concerned about the life data of aircraft pilots.

Although the aircraft is equipped with certain life support equipment, such as space decompression suits, such as oxygen systems, and the cockpit of the aircraft is fully sealed, anyway, it is just an ordinary aircraft, not a special space shuttle or space aircraft, Therefore, it is very different from these manned spacecraft.

Of course, at this time, as the crew of the aircraft, because the altitude of the aircraft has reached 50000 meters, their field of vision is extremely wide. They can even see the earth in space. Therefore, they have been stunned by the view from high altitude to the ground. They didn't come back until the repeated calls from the ground.

However, because they were wearing space suits at this time, there was no physical discomfort except the feeling of weightlessness.

After receiving the report from the crew on the ground, everyone was finally relieved. After all, some countries had carried out such a thing as using manned aircraft to fly to the edge of the atmosphere as early as the last century.

But the X-15 was just a small single person aircraft, and it only went through one flight, and then they cancelled the project.

But this time they created a real miracle. You know, this plane is not a small plane, but a plane the size of a straight-line airliner!

And at this time, there are not only one crew, but as many as three.

Most importantly, in addition to carrying three crew members, the aircraft can also be equipped with about ten or twenty tons of ammunition, that is, if the aircraft is equipped with a rocket, it can definitely shoot a few tons of spacecraft into space, so this is definitely not a joke.

Of course, the test flight was naturally observed by interested people, so all those who observed the test flight were stunned. 50000 meters, that is, at an altitude of 50 kilometers, and the maximum speed above Mach 6, let them compete.

Therefore, some people were frightened, some were afraid, some trembled, and some even destroyed some things ready to be published immediately, and stopped talking about these things. Even some countries in China that were ready to make trouble suddenly settled down.
