Chapter 485 (1/2)

Because Wang Bin and their sky technology have made a new breakthrough in the field of pulse detonation engine recently, the pulse detonation rocket engine installed on this aircraft. Its thrust and other performance are much better than the previous Phoenix kt1, the above pulse detonation rocket engine.

So, when the plane took off, it quickly reached Mach 12 or more and was still accelerating.

The space plane driven by Zhao Feng broke through the atmosphere and reached the low earth orbit altitude in less than three minutes. However, at this time, the aircraft continues to accelerate. After all, although the aircraft has reached the low earth orbit altitude, it naturally needs an engine to provide power to push the aircraft into the space low earth orbit because it has not yet entered the orbit.

After successfully entering the earth's low earth orbit, the phoenix-2kt aerospace plane did not fly to a higher orbit because there was no medium and high orbit test in the test subjects. Instead, it entered the atmosphere again after circling the earth for two times, that is, four hours, and returned to the desert industrial zone of Tiangong technology.

In the following days, Wang Bin and Tiangong technology conducted a test flight of medium and high orbit subjects for the aircraft, and all achieved complete success.

…………

The successful test flight of Phoenix II series, the first aerospace aircraft, is of great significance for their Aerospace Technology in exploring space in the future.

As mentioned earlier, with this space plane, the crape myrtle space station of sky technology will not have to rely entirely on rockets to launch various components and scientific research equipment in the next construction and assembly process. In the process of building the space station, except for those large compartments, They can use this space plane for transportation. After all, this space plane also has such a large carrying capacity.

Even in high orbit, this space plane also has a large carrying capacity, so in the future, launching high orbit satellites, such as geosynchronous satellites, will not use expensive rockets at all, but use cheaper space planes to launch.

Moreover, due to the carrying capacity of this space plane, they can also bring more satellites at one time.

Therefore, after their SkyPlane of Tiangong technology completely completed the test flight of low, medium and high orbit, Wang Bin's SkyPlane immediately put into the tight transportation of various scientific research equipment and materials for the space station.

Although, due to the prototype of this aerospace aircraft, Wang Bin only produced two, and the follow-up is still under intense manufacturing, the mere addition of these two aerospace aircraft has accelerated the construction process of Tiangong technology in the space station with the naked eye.

After all, rockets can only be launched once a day at most, which is very powerful. Now no country in the world can do it. Even their Tiangong technology can't launch a rocket every day in the past period of time.

You know, this is a heavy rocket with a weight of 3000 tons. Its assembly and construction are not easy, and a lot of preparations must be made before launching.

But the space plane is different. It can take off after simple maintenance and adding fuel after each flight.

Therefore, it is possible for an aerospace plane not to travel to and from space once a day, even two or three times.
