Chapter 2312: Chapter 2132: Can Tang Qing Fly an Airplane? (Please Subscribe!) Full and satisfied. "Please!" As they sat in the sightseeing car, they arrived at the testing facility and met Tang Qing. At the same time, they also saw the aircraft that has been the talk of the internet these past few days. Although they had seen the short film and knew its dimensions, seeing it in person was something else entirely. Only one word came to mind. ---Huge. "Much more impressive than the short film!" "Yeah!" "I can’t even imagine it, a loadless limit of over four hundred kilometers; how powerful must this engine be when it looks so much smaller than a typical aviation engine." "Incredible!" "..." The students marveled. This contraption couldn’t be strictly called a helicopter because it also had secondary power, employing a turbine for propulsion. The modification was quite bold. On the side. The feelings of the two academicians were different. It wasn’t just about being bold; there was a strong scientific research capability backing it up. Otherwise, could it be finalized in just one year? Don’t even think about it. Power. Avionics. Materials. ... Each and every difficult hurdle needed to be overcome; it’s not just about spinning a propeller and flying into the sky, especially with such a large volume, it seems clumsy and rough. However. The technical level was definitely not lacking. It may not match up to current military weapons, but it was on a level much higher than creating a regular civilian helicopter. "How was the rehearsal process?" asked one of the academicians. "Perfect." "Good." Perfect is good. This way. There’s no need to fear embarrassment tomorrow, and anyway, if it were not perfect, Tang Qing definitely wouldn’t play live broadcast, to face on his own, it seems the technology is truly mature. ... Soon after. They boarded a white-painted aircraft. After touring inside and out, they found that every detail was quite perfect; the interior didn’t even look like a helicopter but more like the decor of a private jet. Soft seats. Air conditioning. TV. Carpets. ... Upon inquiry. It turned out the one they boarded was a private version, almost built to the interior of a private jet, even with a bed, if it weren’t for the massive size, it might not even fit. The large size. Has many drawbacks. But also advantages, like resisting air turbulence; as long as the power output system is done well, it won’t be too bumpy, just like here, you can have a good sleep. Previously. Watching the short film, the stability of the aircraft even made the water in a cup merely ripple. But that was design; no one knew if the reality could match up. Design specifications. Actual performance. The two. Had certain disparities. ... In the afternoon. Guests arrived one after another, and once settled, they all came to the maintenance plant to see the aircraft. Given this, Tang Qing stayed here all the time. Didn’t go to meet them. Otherwise. Back and forth, it would be tedious! Tang Qing’s master’s advisor and classmates weren’t idle either, each learning from different on-site engineers following their respective majors. After all. This also was an exercise opportunity. Good project. Not to be missed. Furthermore. Here either you had senior technicians with rich experience, or at least a master’s degree, quite a few are PhDs; it’s an excellent learning opportunity. Apply what you learn. Honestly. If it weren’t for needing help with their project, the academicians would have wanted their postgraduates to stay here and learn for a while. Yes. Academicians. Industry experts. However. When it comes to postgraduates, mainly they do experiments, and compared to Tang Qing’s projects under his command, theirs are somewhat lacking. Because. Real classified projects. Aren’t something regular postgraduates can access; they were determined to have their students intern under Tang Qing for at least half a year during their postgraduate period. "Can it be opened today?" Chai Ren was eager to try. On the side. The others also had eyes full of anticipation. "It can." Tang Qing said. Maintenance. Isn’t about dismantling a lot but doing some basic maintenance and using special instruments to check some key equipment, so it can fly anytime. Upon hearing this. Chai Ren didn’t wait. "Get on." Soon after. A dozen people filed in, specifically onto the white private version; others had different purposes and weren’t exactly the same inside, this one was more comfortable. Seeing this. Tang Qing smiled. "Apply for a one-hour flight permit, altitude below one thousand, heading east..." Such temporary flights need to be reported to air traffic control. "Yes." The control tower complied. Soon. Response received. "Permission granted." At this point. All objects surrounding this aircraft moved away. ’Clack, clack, clack!’ The main gate’s front slowly slid upwards, and instantly, the cold wind surged in, as a tractor slowly pulled the aircraft out, though it could move by itself. Nevertheless. Starting the engine would have stirred up a gale inside. Very quickly. It was positioned for takeoff. "Are you going too?" Chai Ren noticed Tang Qing was also coming up. "Of course." After saying this. Just when Chai Ren thought Tang Qing would be sitting with them in the passenger cabin, Tang Qing turned and went into the cockpit, and at this time, the cockpit door wasn’t closed, and the pilot’s seat was empty. Zap! Tang Qing directly sat down. Uh! They were stunned. Then. When they saw Tang Qing start fastening the seatbelt and wearing the headset, it suddenly dawned on them—Tang Qing was going to fly the plane. "Whoa!" "No way? Tang Qing can fly a plane?" A local second-generation heir was shocked. "This..." Chai Ren was puzzled too. "Maybe, he can." After all, this was designed by Tang Qing, known inside and out, and with Tang Qing’s learning ability, is flying a plane that difficult? "..." Alright. A prodigy! Upon realizing this, everyone stood up and moved to the spacious cockpit. They didn’t know why it was designed so large until they saw it now. Pretty good. At least everyone standing didn’t feel crowded. "Tang Qing, are you serious?" Zheng Lin asked curiously. Hearing this. Tang Qing turned his head, giving them a bright smile, "Of course, I’m already seated here; let me show you my piloting skills." "Don’t worry." "It’s solid." Saying this. His hands operated various devices and buttons, the aircraft trembled slightly, and through the glass, they could already see the propeller outside starting to spin. Faster and faster. A minute later. "Is it taking off?" Zhai Zhihua was stunned. Originally. They thought it would take at least ten minutes to warm up, but it took off right away, this... so stable. They suddenly realized that with such a takeoff, there was almost no wobbling. It was just slightly more tremulous than riding an elevator. However. In the field of helicopters, this was unimaginable, especially for Pei Yang, who had been on various helicopters, both military and civilian, in terms of stability. Compared to the one before them, those were all scum. Furthermore. Outside it must be terribly noisy. Inside. It was as quiet as riding a luxury car; this soundproofing effect left him amazed. "Hiss!" Pei Yang took a deep breath. No wonder. This aircraft was designed like a private jet, if it were a regular helicopter with that kind of bumpiness, how could anyone feel at ease drinking tea and sleeping inside? It turns out. The interior environment was genuinely so comfortable; just with this soundproofing, claiming it as the world’s most comfortable helicopter, having experienced it, no one would disagree.
