Chapter 514 (2/2)

However, in fact, the shape of the aerial plane is indeed very beautiful. Even the shape of the aerial plane is very similar to the female Wushen plane they designed decades ago.

At the same time, from the shape, it can be clearly seen that the wing of this space shuttle is also a variable wing design. It can be seen from here that x aerospace company is very attentive to the design of this space shuttle, but compared with the female warrior, the length and volume of this space shuttle are more huge, Even compared with the Phoenix II series of aerospace aircraft of Tiangong technology, it is even larger.

After all, according to their design data, the total weight of this space plane is as high as more than 300 tons, and the carrying capacity of this space plane is also very amazing. It can send materials weighing about 40 tons into orbit below 1500 kilometers.

If there is a refueling in space, there is absolutely no problem flying to the moon orbit.

The reporters present were naturally very happy about the SkyPlane. Amid everyone's praise, the SkyPlane was slowly pulled out of the frame by a tractor and came to their company's airport runway to take off.

Like the previous Tiangong technology, the aerospace aircraft of their company also needs to carry out a series of inspections before the flight test. Because the internal intelligence of the aircraft cannot be compared with that of Tiangong technology, the inspection time naturally needs to be longer.

And because they basically use manual inspection, it is inevitable that some mistakes will occur. Therefore, in order to ensure that all inspections are in place, before the flight test, they must go through the inspection of ground service and aircraft manufacturing and design personnel for many times before taking off.

It took four hours to complete the final inspection of the X aerospace company's space shuttle. At this time, their space shuttle was finally ready for its first test flight.

With the command from the tower, the aircraft's engine finally began to turn.

However, when the engine began to turn, many people present found that the sound of the engine was wrong, because the sound of the engine was not like that of a detonation pulse variable rocket engine, but like that of a turbofan engine when an ordinary plane took off.

This makes many people very confused, but people familiar with the matter are different. They clearly know that it is not the pulse detonation rocket engine that powers the aircraft at this time, but the turbofan engine used by most aircraft in the atmosphere.

Of course, as a real space plane, what is running on the space plane at this time is not the complete turbofan engine, but the variable cycle engine developed by them over the years.

After all, for them, compared with the relatively unfamiliar pulse detonation engine, they are more mature in the field of turbofan engine and master the internal technology more thoroughly.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft flying in the atmosphere, the aerospace aircraft is powered by a variable cycle engine when flying in the atmosphere.
