The Age of the 21st Century Magazine

In China, the crisis is continuing, but South Koreans, who are really neighbors, are beginning to be insensitive to it.

No matter how hot the potatoes are, after a few hours they turn cold.

The crisis seems to be diluting over time.

Now China's wave is no longer controversial within Korea.

It was the same for Navis employees.

The North Korean Ministry of Cerebral Arthritis may have met and swollen the liver, but now the feeling of war is diminishing considerably.

Nam Ph.D. Four-wheelers have long forgotten their waves.

Now I'm sold elsewhere.

It's an unidentified backpack tied to the back of HGD1 in the 22nd floor lab.

Hope alternately looks at the backpack and the top researcher with a curious face.

“You mean this could fly? ”

“Yes, Mr. Hope. ”

“that you can fly safely?

Really. "

“It... should be experimental...”

The voice of the chief researcher is getting smaller.

In fact, this module seems unstable to researchers.

There are no wings to be nurtured, and there are only four holes.

I noticed that atmosphere and hope opened my eyes.

Chief researchers and other researchers avoid the eyes of hope.

“No, Choi Team Leader, you're asking me to test the developers because they don't believe in performance?

On the first day of the new year, you want me to ride this thing and die in the air? ”

No matter how much you hope to use the ether, you will lose your life if you fall from high altitude.

It's definitely something I can't be angry about.

Researchers sweat cold.

Team leader Choi hastened to make excuses.

“No, that's not it, so we're going to do an unmanned test flight.

And of course, it's remotely controlled on the ground. ”

Only then did the impression of hope unfold.

“Hmm... by the way. It doesn't matter if it's a long-distance flight. ”

I expected some hope that it would be an unmanned test.

I've often seen insults even when I first tested the stables.

Moreover, it is a dangerous experiment that goes far beyond the level of falling or hitting a wall while testing.

“But this doesn't seem to be easy to operate with HGD1's existing control system, motion followers. ”

“Yes, it is. It's completely different from conventional airplanes.

is controlled by vector thrust regulation.

“What is that? I've never heard of it."

“To explain this, we first have to compare it to the principles of traditional airplanes and helicopters.

The aircraft moved up and down with flaps and ailons on the main wing.

The elevation angle and pivot adjustment allow the pivot to be adjusted with the rudder of the tail wing.

So all the adjustments are made with wings. ”

“Yes, of course, the airplane adjusts to the wings. ”

“You're quick to understand. The same goes for helicopters.

The helicopter rotates positively with the main rotor, while the auxiliary rotor on the tail adjusts the left and right rotations of the helicopter.

Additionally, we adjust the speed and direction of movement while tilting the main rotor forward and backward. ”

“So what's this? ”

“This device is more like a man-made missile than an airplane, technically.

If you look at this, there are four things that look like aircraft nozzles, right? ”

“Yes..”

“By adjusting the output and direction of the BPulse NA336 fusion impulse engine in these four nozzles,

This is how you float a horse-drawn horse-drawn horse in the air.

Instead of controlling wings and rotors like planes and helicopters, it's controlling nozzles like rockets. ”

“Ah! It must be hard to control all four nozzles.

If this goes wrong, it could flip over. ”

Hope listened to the explanation and learned the principles of the device.

This device is a device that floats in the air with only propulsion without the concept of wings.

Hope that I've often seen how missiles fly is less frightening.

Without Javelin or a Heavenly Spike missile, it flies like hell.

Some fly around in circles, and some fly halfway down and suddenly break.

In fact, in movies like Iron Man, there are scenes that fly beautifully with ion engines, but that's a movie everywhere.

This is easy to control even if you only see the missile fly.

It's horrible to imagine flying upside down.

The gravitational acceleration plus the engine output will penetrate the ground as it is.

Death is, of course, a basic option.

“That's why it's hundreds of times harder to control than conventional airplanes or helicopters.

So a high-performance computer automatically controls the output and nozzle direction of all engines. ”

“Did you have enough flight operations with ROS mini? ”

“Well... once the built-in processor of HGD1 is not enough,

You have inserted an additional dedicated flight processor.

This has added a small outlet to the back of the HGD1 to drain heat from the processor. ”

“So I'm going to use the ROS3.1 system like HR1. ”

“Yes, that's how it happened. ”

“Obviously, it's complicated. ”

“Yeah, so I've been considering interlocking neurons.

You know, human motor neurons aren't used to being nervous.

So we considered automation rather than neuron systems. ”

“I have an approximate understanding. So is it moved by the motion follower? ”

“Yes, precisely with a touchpad at the end of the motion globe.

Let's look at this screen. ”

The HMD screen activated by gesture on the lab wall is so different from the normal fighter screen.

[Select FP101 flight mode]

Jumping flight.

Falling high.

Hovering.

Low speed movement.

High-speed manoeuvres (disabled)

There is no pitch angle or azimuth velocity altitude in the HUD and it is simply made up.

“Once you have selected one of these five modes, you will be on an automated flight.

You know, this is as difficult as piloting a missile.

Most of the flight controls and the areas where computers are manoeuvred have been simplified to the fullest extent possible.

Once you select each mode, you'll see a simplified flight interface. ”

Virtual simulation screens show that flight through this equipment is almost automated without complex piloting procedures.

It was as easy as touching the smartphone menu, so it didn't seem difficult to control at a glance.

“Almost automation. There's relatively little human intervention. ”

“You can say yes.

Of course, for low-speed movements and high-speed manoeuvres, there are areas where you need to practice a certain amount of manoeuvring.

Specifically, high-speed manoeuvres require more software development, which is now blocking the manual.

Now that you've seen the simulation, let's test the HMD. ”

“Is that so?”

Hope for easier equipment control mode than I thought.

In fact, it doesn't seem that hard to fly unless it's low-speed travel and high-speed manoeuvres.

But so far I didn't know his name.

“Choi Team Leader, what is the name of this equipment? ”

“This is the FP101 Flying Pack. ”

“Flying pack. That's a good name. ”

Hope thought that the name Flying Pack fits quite well.

District 22 researchers brought HGD1 equipped with FP101 to the aircraft modification window next to runway 4 for actual test flights.

The aircraft mechanic building is 70 meters tall and is perfect for indoor testing.

Hope entered the remote-controlled device that modified the simulator and completed the boot.

The view of HGD1 comes in and the room of the large renovation window comes in.

On the other hand, AN70 is being converted into a fire-support gunship such as AC130.

An all-weather laser weapon, a 20-millimeter coil gun, and a high-power generator are placed on the bone.

“It's not a bad field of view, but I have some screen transmissions. ”

“It's not a direct screen, it's a wireless communication, so there's going to be some fine thread gas and a communication rack. ”

“Yes, that's something to consider. ”

Ji-young! Ji-young!

Slowly I took a few steps to check the function.

I have an FP101 Flying Pack on the back, but it doesn't feel like I'm pulling back.

I said it weighs 39 kilograms, so it's lighter than a coiled gun.

[Select FP101 flight mode]

Jumping flight.

Falling high.

Hovering.

Low speed movement.

High-speed manoeuvres (disabled)

“Which one do you choose?

It's like using a parachute instead of a high fall parachute.

Hovering... is this a stationary flight for that helicopter? ”

Hope heard the airline's best friend, so he chose hovering first.

Ji-ying!

Shuwook!

Bright light emanates from the four nozzles and a strong wind blows into the building.

Hovering (Altitude +)

I swiped the touchpad slightly towards‘ Altitude + ’.

The feet of HGD1, which were touching the ground, rise slightly into the air.

“Ouch. Finally me. ”

“I really remember. ”

“Finally fly."

Three men, Dr. Nam, said a word.

HGD1 floats about 2 meters above the ground.

Hovering is more stable than expected.

He seemed anxious to look at it, but Kim Jang Kimchi made something quite useful.

Hope manipulates the touchpad and slowly sweeps it towards‘ altitude ’.

Shhh!

Less curly.

As soon as I touched my foot, I almost slipped, squeaking.

Clearly landing is not easy because there is a slight flight swing even in place.

Hope returned to the initial menu after finishing hovering.

The engine slowly stops and the nozzle closes.

Chul-chul!

I've never felt like this while controlling a horse-drawn horse.

I really felt floating in the sky.

“Oh, this is amazing. Quite useless.”

It was unimaginable to fly on a horse-drawn horse.

When I developed the Windshield airship, I developed a full-fledged horse-drawn flying device.

Kim Zhang Kimchi also likes to clap his hands at unexpected manoeuvrability.

It was the first flight test, but it was a pretty successful flight.

Hope was also swept away by the atmosphere and then chose the menu.

[Select FP101 flight mode]

Jumping flight.

The jump gauge appears when the mode is changed.

[Jump Strength Adjustment (approx. | steel)]

“Choi Team Leader, how do you do this?

There's a gauge. ”

Hope, who doesn't know how to pilot, asks the team leader.

“Just jump forward and steer the jump intensity before you hit jump. ”

“Oh, yeah... can I jump in place? ”

“It works. ”

“Oh, yeah, let's do it while we run. ”

Hope decided to take a leap first as she took a leap.

Giggling, giggling, giggling!

Hope took three steps vigorously and executed the jump.

Shuwook!

As the Flying Pack operates, the body rises in an instant.

As a basketball player shows off his airwork, HGD1 rises 15 meters from the air.

“Argh!”

However, hopes twisted as to whether it was embarrassing for the first time.

HGD1 lost center and flew toward the side wall.

“Argh!”

Kwung!

Heavy collisions are heard on the wall.

Smoked dust drops off the wall.

HGD1, which lost center in the collision, flipped upside down and crashed to the ground.

Qaaaaaah!

Chiiiiiiii...

The transmission screen was cut with the last beep.

Hope opens the hatch of the remote control and takes off the HMD.

The debris is trampled on in the eye.

The upside down HGD1 is breaking and falling apart with the head completely crushed.

The FP101 Flying Pack module and body are also severely broken.

“Hope, thank God. Look at that HGD1 smashed in the head.

If I had been in there, I would have gone to hell. ”

JiHoon waved his head.

“Uh-huh. That's right, Ji Hoon.

I really do. ”

Hope smiled and answered.

As it was the first test of flight, the crash was probably natural.

If you keep crashing like this, one day you'll get a flying pack that flies properly.

“It's a shame.

If I cared a little bit more, I could have made it to the jump. ”

“Well, it was great after the first try.

If you keep going, you'll get something useful. ”

“The original jump flight was a mode designed to jump directly into a skyscraper or overcome a high obstacle.

It looks like we still need a lot of fixes.

But as a lesson from this failure, I've found a way to reinforce the flight interface and software. ”

“Yes, cheer up. Soon there will be a day when I will be testing myself on gas. ”

Hope said to the chief researcher, looking at the dented head on one floor.

Perhaps numerous remote flight tests will have to continue in order to prevent his head from becoming like that.

That's how the flight test of the first flying pack ended.
