Chapter 530 (1/2)

This is only the transport capacity of this aerospace aircraft in low earth orbit. If it is in medium and high orbit, the carrying capacity of this aerospace aircraft is still far from being compared with the Phoenix II series.

The main embodiment of this is the Phoenix II series. In addition to using pulse detonation rocket engines, it is also equipped with other types of engines, such as ionic medium engines. At the same time, the current Phoenix II series is also equipped with cold nuclear fusion reactors.

Therefore, once the Phoenix II series of aerospace aircraft use the pulse detonation rocket engine to fly the aerospace aircraft out of the atmosphere and into the forbidden orbit, the pulse detonation rocket engine will stop and use the ionic medium engine as the power.

We should know that the ion medium engine with the largest thrust developed by Tiangong Technology Institute has reached the level of hundreds of Kilonewtons in the universe, which is enough to drive an aerospace aircraft of hundreds of tons in the universe.

Therefore, up to now, through a series of transformation, the transportation capacity of Phoenix II Series in low earth orbit has reached nearly 200 tons, while the transportation capacity of medium and high orbit has reached this ton level, and even 200 tons of goods can be transported to lunar orbit. This is the advantage of ionic medium rocket engine.

Although the carrying capacity of the space shuttle developed by X aerospace company is close to that in low earth orbit, the carrying capacity of Phoenix II Series in medium and high orbit is only. It's only 10 ~ 50 tons, which is very different from the Phoenix series.

But Mark was already very happy with this result. He knew that after using the original engine of Tiangong technology, its carrying capacity could not be compared with the simple version, let alone the engine developed by them.

Of course, because their company obtained from Tiangong technology, their own version of the engine is only Tiangong I engine, so they also tried their best to make such a huge aerospace plane fly to the sky.

In addition to the Phoenix series design similar to Tiangong technology, they also adopt the design of variable swept wing in terms of aircraft wings.

At the same time, in order to promote such a huge space shuttle in your family, X aerospace company has equipped each space shuttle with a full 12, Tiangong-1 pulse detonation rocket engines.

In addition, in terms of safety, they also racked their brains this time. Even in order to avoid the previous situation in the next test flight, X aerospace company also invited some experts to Tiangong technology for guidance. They are not afraid that their design will be known by Tiangong technology.

It can be said that for this space shuttle, X aerospace company has also made a lot of money this time, in order to naturally improve their company's reputation and reputation within the bald eagle and make their shares rise.

However, when Mark and his X company were ready to move, they held back the big move and were ready to release the big move.

Their company's biggest competitor, m-iron space exploration company under m-iron company, the first medium-sized aerospace plane developed and produced by them was finally born, and announced for the first time that it was ready to conduct its first test flight within a week. Therefore, like x aerospace company before, their company also issued an invitation to world-famous Aerospace institutions and aerospace companies.

This made mark very upset. In Mark's original plan, the first flight time of the space plane they developed, designed and manufactured should be earlier than that of M iron space exploration company. Unexpectedly, the speed of M iron space exploration company was far beyond his expectation and earlier than the manufacturing of the space plane of X aerospace company.
