Movie black technology

The ground speed of the Seikei helicopter was slow, and it took a full five minutes to taxi out of the test range from the workshop.

After all, it was a 130-ton behemoth.

After completing the whole test production, the Jingwei helicopter looked enormous, like what Chen Shen had said before, it was simply a flying train.

Chen Shen and Hang Yucheng watched the helicopter in the test site from a distance in the general control room, while there were other staff members watching from afar at the edge of the test site, while the fire department and medical team were on standby.

When the helicopter arrived at its intended location, Chen Shen heard the voice of test pilot Hu Yuankai coming from inside his headset.

"Tower, we have reached the designated position, please give instructions."

"Execute as scheduled, let's conduct preliminary takeoff performance test and hovering performance test first." Chen Shen replied from inside the radio.

"Roger." The other side replied briefly, and then started the operation.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shen and Hang Yucheng both saw the front and rear rotors of the Jingwei helicopter in the center of the test field slowly rotate up.

At the same time, there was a loud sound that could be clearly heard even in the well-shielded control room where Chen Shen was located.

The sound of the Seikei helicopter starting up is somewhat similar to the sound of a jet aircraft continuously passing over itself at the speed of sound, and also interspersed with the click of the rotor rotation, the feeling is more like staying next to a constant chainsaw at the construction site ......

Even Chen Shen stayed in the general control room have such a bad feeling, not to mention the people on the edge of the test flight site.

These staff members first covered their ears, or took out the previously distributed noise reduction earmuffs to plug their ears.

"The sound is too loud." Hang Yucheng covered his heart and slightly adapted to the chainsaw-like harsh sound of the rotors, a sound that simply added an annoying buff to all who heard it.

Chen Shen smiled, "After all, this is just a civilian helicopter, it works just fine."

Yeah, the original purpose of this helicopter design is to transport mechs, the main use scenario is above the sea, it doesn't matter how loud it is, it would be better if we could rely on this sound to annoy the monsters.

Although people outside feel the sound is harsh, but in the cockpit inside the test pilot because of better sound insulation protection, coupled with noise reduction earmuffs, in turn, feel that the sound is still within the acceptable range, continue to operate the aircraft.

Soon after, people saw the helicopter's rotor speed getting faster and faster, and soon the dust swirled around the perimeter, flying around the helicopter, looking like a small tornado.

The sound coming out at this time also became a more regular whirring sound, which was much more comfortable to listen to, although the volume did not decrease.

With the roar of the engines and rotors, the huge helicopter soon lifted off slowly with the help of two sets of rotors.

Helicopter takeoff is generally divided into vertical takeoff and taxi takeoff.

Vertical takeoff is common on television, the helicopter in situ start, after pulling up altitude, forward or tilt to the left and right, changing flight trajectory climbing acceleration.

The glide takeoff is the same as fixed-wing aircraft, gliding on the runway to accelerate, after the helicopter speed to a certain speed, due to the reduction of rotor power required, there will be enough power to increase the rotor pull, to overcome gravity lift off.

But for this helicopter, it is not possible to take off with a glide, because its glide speed is too slow, after all, weighing 100 tons, and not a big truck, how can it be fast.

The huge Jingwei helicopter slowly rose to ten meters in the air, then it entered a short suspension, test pilot Hu Yuan Kai looked at the parameters above the instrument, and the airframe did not shake violently, "All parameters are normal, the engine is normal."

"Let's climb." Hang Yucheng used binoculars to look at the helicopter outside and replied into his headset.

Soon, the Jingwei, operated by Hu Yuankai, switched the angle of climb and began to climb in a nose down, fuselage up attitude.

The two rotor blades of the Seikei helicopter were similar to those of the Chinook helicopter, with the rear rotor blades positioned higher and parallel to the chassis, and the front rotor blades positioned lower and tilted forward, so that the helicopter would be more efficient in climbing.

The huge helicopter rose from the ground and soon disappeared from the sight of Chen Shen and Hang Yucheng, who could only see it in the radar.

However, the connection between the helicopter and the tower was never broken, and Hu Yuankai kept reporting the helicopter's flight status to the tower, and was even in the mood to chat with the tower about his family and his feelings about the controls.

"The flight is going well, this helicopter is even better than I thought it would be, this is probably the best handling helicopter I've ever operated other than a civilian helicopter." Hu Yuan Kai said in a relaxed tone as he steered the aircraft.

"Of course, the Jingwei doesn't have the tail rotor of a normal helicopter, so it's naturally easier to control." Hang Yucheng said with the same relaxed tone.

At this point, the first test flight had been conducted for more than half an hour, and the helicopter was climbing and hovering at various altitudes around the test site as planned. As long as there were no unforeseen circumstances, it was basically certain that no problems would arise.

The unexpected situation did not occur until an hour later, and after all the test items were completed, Hu Yuan Kai successfully piloted the helicopter to the ground.

As soon as the helicopter landed, Chen Shen, Hu Yuankai and others went up and took the data of this test and brought the helicopter back to the workshop for disassembly and inspection in preparation for the next test flight.

Generally speaking, the test flight of a helicopter includes hovering, takeoff, level flight, climb, landing, maneuverability, environmental vibration, noise, and other aspects.

Within these broad categories are individual sub-categories, and the Seikei helicopter will only conduct a small portion at this time to make sure it has the ability to fly properly and not suddenly break down.

The rest of the performance tests, including weight-bearing endurance, will be transferred to the dome base tests.

After all, the goal set for the Elite Helicopter was to hoist the mech, so naturally it had to be tested in a place with mechs.

In this way, the eight days passed quickly.

All the test flights of the helicopter had been completed, and as expected, there were no major problems, except for a small problem that was corrected in time.

This Seikei helicopter would next fly to the dome base for the rest of the tests as originally planned.

In the meantime, the remaining seven trial complete aircraft requested by Chen Shen earlier were also being manufactured.

As soon as they are completed, they will be sent to the domestic desert, rainforest, sea and other environments for testing at the first opportunity, and will also fly to the dome base for standby after passing.

In this way, if there is no problem with the weight test, they can wait for the completion of the mech's mounted accessories and wait for the opportunity to enter the deep sea exploration phase of the Crimson Storm project.

Chen Shen and his team left before the Elite helicopter, and after packing their luggage, they took the high speed train and set off on their way back.

On the other hand, after changing the paint job, the Jingwei helicopter was teamed up by two test pilots and set off on the road to the dome base.

The helicopter took off in the morning, and Hu Yuan Kai and another colleague followed a predetermined route towards the east.

Although the flight route was carefully chosen and the following were no man's land, there were still many sightings of Jingwei on the way to the flight.

No way, there are too many people in the country, even some seemingly deserted places have a lot of donkeys exploring, let alone in the densely populated east.

And because the test flight is not fully completed, Jingwei is not able to fly high, the flight altitude is basically kept within one thousand meters, or even five hundred meters.

In this way, as long as there is no problem with vision and hearing, basically can be found in the sky can be called huge Jingwei.

Of course, if you choose to fly at night then it is possible to avoid this problem, at best, the country has another legend of unidentified flying objects.

But still before the reason, still in the test flight state of the aircraft in the night flight is a dangerous behavior, the ground black, problems are not sure how to land.

Such a huge helicopter appeared in the sky, even if the intention to suppress the heat, a variety of sighting photos still quickly circulated in various circles, all over one forum and chat groups, as in the year of the first flight of the Dragon.

In particular, the first eyewitness chat log was widely spread.

"You guys must not know what I just went through! This morning I looked at the good weather to go hiking, only to climb halfway up the mountain to hear a loud noise from the sky, I thought it was thunder, and felt like a plane flying over, so I looked up!"

"What happened? Don't sell yourself short."

"A huge helicopter flew across the sky, just like a small mountain! I was stunned!"

"Don't say anything, just say if you got it on camera."

"Who said there is no tone, I took video and photos, only the speed of the helicopter is very fast, when I took out my phone, it had already flown a long way, and there are surrounding woods to obscure ......"

Then there is a video, as said earlier, after clicking on it, you can only see a huge black shadow spinning in the sky, not very clear, and in the surrounding woods obscured quickly disappeared from the camera inside.

But the video also captured a loud sound, just like the one shot under the helicopter, belonging to the headset party can make the headphones died on the spot of the total loss of sound quality.

If there was only this one sighting, it would not have convinced everyone, but in addition to this earliest sighting, there were many other sighting reports.

All of the reports occurred at similar times, in different locations, and the descriptions and images captured were quite similar.

This makes the people who saw it not believe it.

Only some people who know something about helicopters, after analyzing the video, again feel that the possibility of falsification is higher.

"The video is a foreign Chinook helicopter, but also a magic modification, the size and shape are a bit right, and our country has not introduced Chinook, and there is no relevant development plan, so these videos must be faked."

This statement is not wrong, there are also a lot of people believe in this video forgery, but can not stand more and more eyewitness records ah.

From morning to noon there were only a dozen sightings, but by afternoon just the sighting videos that were widely distributed on the Internet reached more than fifty, each with a video record of the location through which a detailed flight path could be outlined.

Some people have even estimated that they have seen at least hundreds of different records from various chat groups and forums.

If only a dozen records there may be forged, but dozens of nearly a hundred records obviously can not be forged.

In front of reality, people who are even stronger in their beliefs have to bow their heads.

"But how can a helicopter that looks so much like a Chinook suddenly appear in the country? There was no movement at all before, and the Chinook is now a bit obsolete, so why are we copying this helicopter?"

Indeed, although many people on the Internet believe in the Jingwei helicopter, but most military fans or aviation enthusiasts cannot understand this matter the most.

The longitudinal twin-rotor configuration of the helicopter, due to a large part of the overlap between the two rotors, and therefore will lead to a serious waste of engine power, and now even foreign countries have gradually abandoned this design in favor of more advanced and reasonable tilt twin-rotor helicopters.

It is also a science fiction movie often seen in the rotor laterally distributed on the left and right wings of the fuselage, but also can be tilted forward helicopter.

This is the development direction of the next generation of helicopters.

If not the Chinook has been behind, with the current strength of the country is able to try to copy the Chinook.

Chen Shen naturally knows this matter, even if he does not know, Hang Yucheng will tell him, but this design and the information given by the system conflict, if not redesigned, simply can not change the appearance.

So it's better to build it according to the system's design first to save some time.

As for the later improvements, it is better to leave it to Hang Yucheng, the professionals.

The most valuable thing inside the Jingwei helicopter is its transmission system and energy system, the other parts are not important, as long as the two systems are changed, what helicopter you want to build.

Just let the wind and waves outside be strong, the first Jingwei finally arrived at the end of its flight path - over the dome base - after nearly ten hours of flight and slowly landed at the mech's test site.

"Holy shit! What is that behemoth flying in the sky? Is that the new flying mech made by the gods?"

"That's obviously a helicopter!"

"This is too big, right?"

The loud sound of the helicopter startled the whole base, and many people poked their heads out of the windows to watch.

Inside the base were alarmed, outside the base, naturally, not to mention.

With such a huge size, the elite helicopter could not hide the fact that it had entered the dome base from the air, not to mention that the helicopter had chosen to come in from the mech town side.

In less than half an hour, there was a whole lot more eyewitness footage on the internet, only this time it was much clearer due to the Jingwei preparing to slow down and land.

There was even a shot of the tail of the helicopter, with an angular mech logo emblazoned on it!
