Chapter 431 (2/2)
Of course, although the first flight of this aircraft is very successful, it does not mean that the test flight of this aircraft is perfect. After that, it must go through a series of test flights.
At the same time, the main sales target of this aircraft in the future will no longer be the military, but the space sector.
On their own side, Tiangong technology also has a huge aviation plan, so in the near future, Tiangong technology will definitely not be equipped with less equipment.
After all, in the future, after the completion of the low and medium orbit space station plan of Tiangong technology, the transportation of personnel and goods, as well as space tourism, will be completed by this aircraft. As for the personnel transportation in the medium and high orbit in the future, it will naturally be completed by larger space aircraft.
In addition, this aircraft will also undertake the traffic between various space stations in orbit in China in the future, so this aircraft is important for the test flight of China's official or Tiangong technology.
After all, according to the deep space star chain plan of Tiangong technology, the total number of large and medium-sized space stations in earth orbit alone is as high as more than a dozen, and the number of space stations in medium and high orbit will be even larger, reaching 20 or 30.
In addition, there are the lunar space station and so on, which need to use this aerospace aircraft as a means of transportation. Even when the conditions are ripe, this aircraft will be open to domestic enterprises.
Therefore, according to Wang Bin's calculation, the total number of this aircraft in China in the future will never be less than 500.
Of course, these are things in the future. According to the current situation, there is no need and condition to equip so much, whether it is Tiangong technology or the official of Huaxia.
According to Wang Bin's own calculation, the number of this aircraft equipped by Tiangong technology will not exceed 50 in a short time.
During the test flight, the total production of this aircraft can not exceed 20.
These 20 or so aircraft will be used for a series of flight tests.
With the completion of the manufacturing of the first Phoenix kt1 aerospace aircraft, the manufacturing of the second and third prototypes of Tiangong technology has also started.
At the same time, because many parts of this aircraft can be used with phoenix-1 aircraft, according to Wang Bin's estimation, the assembly and manufacturing of this aircraft will be very rapid, and at least two or three aircraft can be produced every month.
With the success of the first flight of Phoenix kt1 aircraft, as the Aerospace Department of China, the response was also very rapid. On the same day, they organized an expert team to settle in Tiangong technology and conducted a rigorous audit on this aircraft of Tiangong technology.
After the first flight, the phoenix-kt1 aerospace plane naturally officially started a series of flight tests.
In less than 15 days, most of the aircraft's atmospheric test flights have been completed, including supersonic and hypersonic flights, full load flights, maximum speed flights in the atmosphere, maximum altitude flights without rocket engines, and maximum range in the atmosphere, Maximum load, maximum speed and other items in the atmosphere.
With the complete completion of various atmospheric flight test projects of the Phoenix kt1 aircraft, the aircraft also landed on the runway of Tiangong technology. At the same time, all personnel involved in the flight test cheered warmly.
Because as test flight personnel, they clearly know that with the completion of the test flight in the atmosphere, the next test flight will be essentially different from the previous one, that is, the next test flight is to conduct air and space flight and extraatmospheric test flight.
For example, fly from the ground to space, and then return to the ground from the sky, followed by a series of flight tests such as orbit change in space, long-term stay in space, space docking and so on.
