Chapter 73 Comma Aircraft(2/2)
I looked at the three-layer wings and said, "If the wings are made like this, the lift is enough, aren't there no speed and flexibility?"
Woma said: "It was designed so that it was designed to slow down its enclave."
"Ah? You don't want to be fast, but you're slower?"
Sumei explained: "The magic thrusters are too powerful, and the space on the plane is limited, and we cannot slow down through a large number of gear sets, so in order to fight this too storm, we built this three-wing aircraft. These wings will slow down the flight speed while providing flight lift, and they will seriously affect flexibility and make the aircraft fly very smoothly. Although these are disadvantages for fighters. But this is a junior trainer, which is to fly slowly and steadily to train those novices! If it runs out like a rocket as soon as it starts, how can we train?"
"Yeah, it makes sense."
Womar pulled me around the three-wing aircraft and said, "This one here is a secondary trainer, that is, an intermediate training aircraft."
This thing looks better. This is a single-wing propeller fighter, which looks very similar to the British Spitfire fighter in World War II.
Woma said: "This is the same nature as the junior trainer just now, but it has few wings and very narrow wings. The flight speed and flexibility are greatly improved, making it easier to upgrade and train. The ground behind is an advanced training aircraft."
We walked around the middle, and the plane behind looked super weird. This thing looked like two wings were inserted on both sides of a large cylinder, and the cockpit on it was almost riding on this cylinder.
Woma saw my expression and quickly explained: "This is a jet aircraft. The air turbine you brought last time, which was transformed by the three technicians. We changed it a little smaller and lengthened the pipes to become the middle tube. In order to save trouble, we welded a pair of wings on both sides of the engine. The cockpit on the top was completely made of nails, so it looked a bit ugly."
Rose said: "I have long heard that the German style only focuses on practicality and shape. Today I have seen it. This thing is like a trash can with wings!"
Su Mei said: "Anyway, it's a trainer. What's the use of making it so beautiful? Isn't it enough to fly?"
Rose pointed to the strange-shaped aircraft behind and asked, "What are those things? Why are they not much the same as those in front?"
"That's an experimental fighter."
We walked to the front of this row of planes and looked at it. To be honest, these things have nothing to do with the plane I remember. "Is this an airplane?"
Woma said: "It's almost like an airplane! But I think it's more suitable to call an airplane."
The things in front of me were not like planes at all. These things were not only weird in shape but also had no wings. I turned around a vehicle three times and couldn't find a propeller or jet port, which means that this thing was not used in any known way of propulsion.
Rose walked to one of the aircraft and knocked it twice and listened to the echo. "Pure steel? How heavy is this?"
Woma said: "Because this aircraft is too fast and the steering method is very special, the body is subjected to very large torque. It is really impossible to withstand it if it is not made firmer!"
I said to Woma: "The steel is still too hard. I think how about using the shell of the Crustworm instead?"
Woma explained: "We have considered using materials such as Warcraft bones or carapaces. But those things are too expensive and the output is too small. It is okay to buy a little bit in scattered ways. If it is mass-produced, it may not keep up with the consumption speed!"
"Then use it. Use some bones as support beams and wrap them with steel. By the way, I will contact the Dragon Clan next time to see if I can use the dragon bones in the dragon cemetery. That thing is big enough that one piece can be used to modify several aircraft."
"Of course, but we can only find steel for the time being."
I walked to the edge of one of the aircraft and looked at it. The shape of this thing looks like a comma-shaped whistle. The big belly of the "whistle" supports the ground, and there are several retractable wheels below to support its balance. Behind this big belly is a not too long tail. Although the tail is stretched there, it does not tilt the aircraft. I think the weight is concentrated in the big belly in front.
There are some small connection devices on both sides of the "whistle", which are probably hangers for plug-in weapons.
Rose also stared at the aircraft for a long time and asked, "Which side is the head?"
"Here."
Woma pointed to the comma's big belly. For that little tail, it was the real tail. But this thing looks a bit like a propeller-style helicopter, but this thing doesn't have propellers.
I knocked on the big belly of steel and said, "This thing has no windows, how can the pilot sit inside and see the road?"
"That's not the cockpit!"
"Ah?" I stared at the big steel fairway with a diameter of more than three meters in surprise: "Where is this the pilot sitting on the cockpit?"
"In the tail behind you, you can see it when you go up."
At Woma's suggestion, I climbed onto the aircraft and saw three holes on the tail that stretched out. And they were arranged in a finished shape. This thing really completely subverted my understanding of the aircraft. It looks weird, but even the seats are so distinctive. Among these three holes, close to the big belly, there are two side-by-side holes, and a separate hole is a little farther from the two in front. And it is just on the central axis of the aircraft.
Woma shouted to me below: "The two people in front are the seats of the weapons control personnel side by side. They are each responsible for one side, and the one behind is the driver's position."
Dizzy! The pilot was sitting at the back, and this aircraft was really special.
Rose asked, "How can this thing fly? There is no propeller and no jet propeller. Could it be that the gravity resistance device used the same as Aisinger?"
"You've guessed it right." Womar said: "This is the gravity resistance device used."
"Don't the gravity resistance device cannot move during activation?"
Woma said: "Isn't there a special track principle?"
"You mean the big ball is actually a crawler?"
“It’s not a crawler, it’s a crawler ball.”
I jumped from above and asked, "What is a crawler ball?"
"A crawler ball is a connected track, just like a crawler, but ordinary tank tracks are opened into trapezoids, and we wrap it on a steel ball and turn it into a circle."
"How do you turn?"
"Have you seen the gyroscope?"
“See.”
Woma explained: "We drive the aircraft using the same principle. Two pure steel rings that can be nested and crossed vertically with each other to form a universal orbital ring. We let the ring close to the outside steel ball and apply lubricant to the inside. The largest steel ring is just the same as the inner diameter of the outside steel ball. With the help of lubricating oil, the large ring can rotate arbitrarily in the steel ball, but since it is a sphere, it cannot be out no matter how it turns. The small ring inside the large ring is welded to the large ring at a vertical angle, and then a rotor track is made on the inner ring. There is a gravity resistance device on this track that can slide at will due to inertia and gravity."
"Ha, I understand." I said excitedly: "Because this gravity resistance device can move freely in the orbit. The large orbit itself is also slidable. So it relies entirely on inertial rolling. When the aircraft turns, it rolls along the inner wall of the ball, which is quite buffering and automatically slides to the opposite direction to the direction to move forward because of its own gravity. As long as the ball activates the propulsion function of the track, it can drive the aircraft to move. It's such a smart design. But there is no computer here. How do you control when which anti-gravity component should work?"
"We don't need to control it." Womar said proudly: "Although this anti-gravity can slide, it is actually unchanged from the contact point of the rotation shaft. There are two free swinging energy brushes on both sides of the ball. This principle is the same as Esinger's driving device, but Esinger relies on gravity to point the energy brush vertically to the anti-gravity device that needs to be started. This is the joint action of the thruster's motion inertia and gravity, just maintaining the flight altitude while canceling the inertia, which is really convenient."
Rose asked: "But this can only control the attitude adjustment after the aircraft steering. Where does the initial power of steering come from and what should we do if we control the lift?"
"This is easy to do!" Womar said: "Because we installed three gravity balls on the orbit, and they are connected by supporting steel pipes. No matter how they slide, their relative positions are fixed. These three balls are equipped with magic crystal resonance devices. We use this device to control a certain power ball to start, and control can be completed by the relative start of the three balls. However, because the three balls are always turning, it is very troublesome to control. You must judge where the gravity ball has slipped to based on your flying attitude at that time. In order to accurately control the flight. This is why we need to let the pilot sit at the end, because this position happens to be the position where the gravity ball points. However, this design also brings many disadvantages, such as the pilot's field of vision is completely blocked, and he has to rely on the guidance of the combat controller in front to fly. The pilot himself actually can't see anything except the dashboard."
"A terrifying aircraft." I sighed: "This thing must be more deadly than playing a wheelbarrow!"
Woma said with a depressed look on his face: "That's why I've been hesitating whether I want to produce this kind of aircraft. Its speed and flexibility are all indescribable, but it's too difficult to control when flying, especially when landing is completely unstable. We can only use the blocking net to slow down and fall into the net. The runway has no meaning to it at most, and it's only for takeoff."
Rose said: "Don't we have jet turbines? Why not just build jet fighters?"
Woma said: "I thought, but the advanced trainer you just saw is already the limit of jet flight. This game is not exactly the same as in reality. The aircraft is not computer-aided, and the jet can't be driven at all. Unless you can let three pilots operate the aircraft like one person, there is no way to control the high-speed jet. This low-speed one is too slow, and even the griffin flies faster than it. Moreover, the flexibility of the jet fighter is too poor. In reality, it doesn't matter if the planes masturbate, but everyone is almost the same. But in this game, we have to deal with flexible creatures. That kind of flexibility is simply a living target. As long as someone calculates it in advance, you can't flash it at all."
"By the way. Let me go up and try it. I want to see what the difference is between this thing and a real plane."
Su Mei asked immediately: "You have flew over fighter planes before?"
"Hey...!" Oops, I missed it! "No, no, I just took a small passenger plane to visit tourist spots before. I think the real plane is probably like that. If I take this thing again, I should be able to roughly understand the performance differences."
"I suggest you don't try it." Fortunately, Sumei didn't ask.
"Why?"
"Because this thing is not something that people can sit on."
"But how can you know whether it's good or bad if you don't try?"
Woma said: "Then it happens. I'll go up with you. Anyway, the functions of the three cabins can be interchangeable. If you can't control it, I will come to serve you. Now I have the best operation technology."
