It took a day's work to finally salvage all the crashed planes.
When a car transported the dripping parts to the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, the newspaper also published the incident.
"Liu Jinghong's Failure"
"The latest achievement of Aviation Director Liu Jinghong, the experiment failed, and the Swordfish plane crashed into the sea"
"How far is human being from the blue sky?" 》
"Will this failure allow the Aviation Academy to make persistent efforts?" 》
…
Li Zhen read all these newspapers and sighed quietly. Dual power would not be successful at present, which he had already expected.
Not only are top technologies unable to keep up, basic industries are also unable to keep up.
New Kyushu currently does not have that kind of precision industrial support, and the engine with exactly the same power is an almost impossible task for the current basic industry.
That road is too far. There is still a lot of walking to do.
Li Zhen wanted to tell Liu Jinghong not to lose heart, and walking step by step in a down-to-earth manner was better than anything else. But after much thought, I still held back. He felt that Liu Jinghong would not be knocked down by this failure.
He should be able to figure it out. We can understand that the chasm between this is impossible to cross.
Science requires stubbornness, but it is best not to be stubborn.
Sometimes one path doesn't work. If you walk from the side, you may get unexpected gains.
Li Zhen somewhat understands the current impetuous atmosphere of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences.
Everyone feels that they are already from the most high-end universities in the world and are the top intellectuals in the world. Everyone was more or less bloated and anxious.
Everyone wants to eat a fat man in one bite to prove that they are the best in the world.
But in fact, this mentality is wrong. There is no such thing as eating a fat man in one bite. Kyushu Academy of Sciences has been down-to-earth and slow along the way. He didn’t say that he was going to study something extraordinary as soon as he appeared.
However, Li Zhen cannot say these words clearly, otherwise it will dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
They need to walk the road themselves, and Li Zhen only needs to be a guide. Supporting them in the right direction is enough.
Aviation Research Institute.
Everyone was in a daze around the large pool of parts, with a look of defeat and shame in their eyes.
Crash!
It's simply unforgivable.
How big of a mistake was this to cause the crash
Since the birth of the Aviation Academy, there have been two crashes. One crash killed Vice Dean Xu Xiufeng, and the second crash almost killed Fang Hangtian.
This responsibility is too heavy. It was so stressful that they were all suffocated.
Liu Jinghong was silent all day. At this time, he suddenly stood up and clapped his hands: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. Let's start working now to repair these wreckage. Everyone must make a detailed report and analyze where exactly it happened. Wrong. Send another person to the hospital to write a transcript for Fang Aerospace, asking him to tell everything he went through and all his feelings in detail. This is very important to us. "
"yes!"
Everyone has done their job.
But everyone actually knows that the most serious mistake in this crash was the inability to fly in a straight line due to power imbalance.
Liu Jinghong looked up at the bright starry sky and sighed secretly, is it true that dual-power aircraft cannot be realized
The Swordfish ran aground
Looking at the pile of wreckage with some sadness, he could still vaguely see the extremely beautiful lines. Liu Jinghong had a heavy look in his eyes: "This model was specially designed for the Swordfish. My most proud work is now It received the harshest rejection. Do we want to change it again and honestly enter aerospace first, and then think about competing for the blue sky?"
Liu Jinghong clenched his fists. This time, I gave up.
Okay, just follow what Master Li said, start by crawling, then learn to walk, and finally fly.
I am too ambitious.
I think I have completely figured out the front-engine aircraft, but I no longer bother to develop it.
But now, it looks like we need to start from scratch.
I'm swollen...
Liu Jinghong spent one night making the final decision. The next day, he announced to the entire Kyushu Academy of Sciences: "Temporarily seal all the files of the Swordfish. All personnel will start from scratch to develop a front-powered aircraft."
Someone asked: "If it is a single engine, then our direction is double wing or single wing?"
Liu Jinghong was silent for a moment: "Double wings!"
Only two wings can fly more smoothly for now. The technical difficulty of the single wing is a bit too high.
The Aviation Academy immediately sealed all information about the Swordfish, and all students subconsciously forgot about the Swordfish.
But only they themselves know, the entire Aviation Research Institute, including Dean Liu Jinghong. There is a dream in my heart.
A single-wing, dual-powered aircraft!
Just because I am so ambitious this time does not mean that I will never touch that taboo.
Everyone just sealed it away. One day, the Aviation Research Institute, which has more experience and technology, will surely allow the Swordfish to truly conquer the blue sky and become the overlord of the air.
I have already tried a dual-powered aircraft once, and designing a front-engine aircraft is relatively easy.
This is not the first day that everyone has dealt with airplanes. What shape can have better streamlined shape and better wind-breaking ability. What angle of attack can make it easier to fly and more stable.
This is already clear to me.
Farmers of that era could dismantle motorcycle engines and build small gliders. How could the experts from the New Kyushu Aviation Research Institute not be able to design even the simplest model
I have never tried it before, just because everyone is too bloated. I feel that it is insignificant and I don’t bother to research and develop it.
But now, starting from scratch, they have to keep their feet on the ground.
It didn't take long before a new model of biplane was perfectly presented on the drawings.
It still has a double-layer wing, and the fuselage is made of wood and wrapped in aluminum plates.
Two seats, one in front and one in the back. One is the main driver and the other is the co-pilot.
The plane is not big, only about five meters long. The wingspan is just over six meters.
It looks like a mini aircraft, too compact. It doesn't feel like an airplane at all, more like a child's toy.
Liu Jinghong named the plane Grasshopper.
The name is very appropriate. This five-meter-square small plane does indeed look like a grasshopper.
It is worth mentioning that the Grasshopper aircraft does not have high engine power requirements, and a single-row seven-cylinder radial engine can completely drive it.
The estimated total weight is 200 kilograms. If it is powered by a seven-cylinder engine and has people on board, the estimated speed of the Grasshopper may reach 180 kilometers per hour.
If a higher power double-row seven-cylinder radial engine is used. This figure will be doubled.
