Chapter 189 Explosion
Mrs. Xiao was relatively calm. She probably flew on planes frequently, so she must have experienced this situation before. She asked everyone to sit down and fasten their seat belts, and then turned on the screen in the cabin. The picture was exactly what was in the cockpit.
"Xiao Liu, what's going on?" Mrs. Xiao asked seriously.
After everyone else calmed down, they all looked at the screen. Zhou Botong finally came to his senses and waited for the captain's reply.
"It may be an engine failure, insufficient power, and the altitude is decreasing. The automatic cruise has been canceled and switched to manual operation!" Captain Liu spoke very fast, but her words were clear. It seemed that she was still very calm.
"Where is the fault?" Mrs. Xiao asked with a frown.
"Initial suspicion is that it was caused by a line failure. The specific location is being investigated," Captain Liu replied and stopped talking.
"Confirmed left engine failure." Captain Liu continued to report, and then he and the first officer looked at each other and nodded tacitly.
Lin Tian has also heard that it is very important for the captain and deputy captain to jointly confirm which side of the engine is faulty, because during operation, the rudder is pressed to control the direction. If the rudder is pressed incorrectly, it will aggravate the rotation of the aircraft.
At this time, the plane was shaking more than before, but after the cause was found out, the eldest lady and the others calmed down. The plane is flying with a single engine and can land safely as long as it is operated properly. The biggest threat is the fire of the faulty circuit. The fire
If you can't control it, you won't have anywhere to escape.
Last time, Lin Tian was still thinking about whether the zombie body could withstand the impact of falling from a very high altitude. Unexpectedly, this crisis appeared at this moment. The old saying is true, good things don't work, bad things work. I say hit five every day.
I didn't win the million-dollar lottery ticket, and now I thought about it, this kind of thing really happened.
At this time, everyone was staring at the operations of the two beautiful captains on the screen. Everyone's life was in their hands.
"Select the descent mode, and the target altitude is the single-engine cruising altitude."
"Turn on electric trim and apply right rudder."
After the captain's operation, the plane shook for a while, then stabilized, and the vibration disappeared. Lin Tian was curious about how these operations worked, and Zhou Botong and others were also confused. In addition to professional personnel, even people who often fly
Don’t necessarily understand.
The situation was temporarily stable. When Mrs. Xiao saw that everyone was so curious about knowledge, she explained: "The rudder controls the vertical tail at the tail of the aircraft. The tail is not for good looks. Although its area is not large, it is far away from the aircraft.
The center of gravity is far away, so the moment arm is very long. You all know that the aircraft flies very fast. Even if the tail is adjusted to a small angle, a huge torque will be generated on the surface under the action of air resistance, and because the moment arm is very long,
The fuselage will generate a large torque, which is enough to balance the torque of a single engine so that the aircraft will not deflect."
"Oh" Lin Tian and the others said a long "oh".
"I understand, give me a fulcrum and a lever long enough, and I can move the earth. The principles are similar," Xiao Manxuan said.
"That's what I mean." Mrs. Xiao nodded and affirmed.
After such a discussion, attention was shifted, and everyone's nervous hearts relaxed a lot. At this time, the captain on the cabin screen made a new move, and his voice came out.
"Lower to the predetermined height."
"Turn off the left engine and try to restart."
Captain Liu calmly issued the operating orders, and he and the first officer operated various buttons in an orderly manner. The buttons were red and green, and there were so many buttons that it was dazzling. Lin Tian couldn't understand them anyway. It was okay to drive the car by himself, but it took two eyes to fly an airplane.
A smear of darkness made him blind. Lin Tian once again looked at the situation where he could fly. Alas, when will he reach the level of a zombie girl?
"Left engine restart failed" the first officer repeated twice.
The failure of the left engine to restart at high altitude means that it must fly with the right engine. In this case, the nearest airport must be found for diversion.
"Maximum thrust of right engine, maintain altitude, check fuel level, call air traffic control center"
"Mrs. Xiao, should we prepare for an alternate landing?" Lin Tian looked at the captain's posture and planned to land.
But I don’t know where the underground is. If there is a place like a lake, I’m lucky. But if it’s a mountain, going down there would be a death wish.
"Yes, the air resistance of low-altitude flight is very large, and the fuel consumption is much higher than normal. If you don't make an alternate landing, you may not have enough fuel." Mrs. Xiao frowned and replied.
"Plane number b9999 calls air traffic control"
The plane was temporarily stable, and Captain Liu began to contact air traffic control. After being connected, he notified the air traffic control center of what happened on the plane.
However, air traffic control replied that the nearest airport is Xikou International Airport, and the plane is still 40 minutes away from Xikou City.
"Forty minutes, there are too many variables. If the plane catches fire, the consequences will be serious." Xiao Manxue said seriously.
Mrs. Xiao also nodded and said: "A single engine of an airplane can sustain it for such a long time, but with the amount of fuel the airplane carries, it will cause a fire and explosion."
"Mrs. Xiao is on fire, there is a fire in the kitchen." Whatever you are afraid of, a flight attendant suddenly announced on the radio, her voice anxious. Lin Tian frowned and ran to the kitchen first, followed by Xiao Manxue, followed by Zhou Botong and several others.
people.
Damn it, I can't be so unlucky. This is my first time on a private plane and something like this happened. Lin Tian was so depressed that he wanted to curse. When he ran to the kitchen, the two stewardesses were already standing outside the door.
, and the kitchen door was closed, but thick smoke kept coming out.
"Why don't you put out the fire!" Lin Tian was surprised that the flight attendant was standing here doing nothing.
At this time, other people also arrived, and the stewardess said anxiously: "The fire extinguishing system failed when it vibrated just now, and the kitchen door was stuck and could not be opened."
It's true that misfortunes never come singly! Before Lin Tian set off, the Xiao sisters were already running anxiously to open the door. This was their family's plane, and they were more anxious than anyone else, and there were so many people on the plane. They were thinking about everything.
If something goes wrong, you won't be able to rest assured even if you die.
Lin Tian was observing with his clairvoyant eyes, trying to see clearly what was going on inside before opening it, but something suddenly exploded, and a violent wave of air mixed with flames rushed toward the kitchen door.
The kitchen space is not large, and the air waves after the explosion were all restrained in a small space. The door was the only weak link. Under the power of the explosion, the door panel was blown away directly, and crashed into the Xiao sisters like a high-speed car.
Oh, Lin Tian noticed that the Xiao sisters had run to the door, and his hair stood up in shock. With their delicate bodies, they could not withstand the impact of the explosion. Others were also stunned when they discovered this situation.
Lin Tian ignored his shocking speed and roared wildly before slamming into him.
