Chapter 286 Ghost
Through the control room, everyone saw a mysterious black steel eagle being slowly towed out of the hangar.
Facing the rays of the rising sun, the dull black color of its body seems to absorb the color of the light waves. It stands quietly, like a crouching beast gathering strength, allowing people to immediately feel its fierce and explosive power beneath its calm posture.
"Our ghost bird is on the runway!" Feng Yuanyang stared at the steel bird, showing off its wide triangular wings, variable swept wings, carbon fiber composite materials with superior performance, superb titanium alloy fuselage materials, and a powerful superb engine heart...
It embodies multiple transcendent scientific research results, including sharp radar, smarter avionics, more powerful stealth performance, and of course, faster speed... He expects the Ghost H-20 to produce dazzling miracle data like its brother and sister, the J-20!
After the final check, a voice from the Ghost Bird rang out in the control room, "Ghost 01, request taxiing!"
"Start gliding!" Engineer Zhan shook his hand firmly and gave orders in a calm tone.
Following this command, the steel bird slowly started to glide, and smoothly began the first glide test.
"Taxi test completed, Ghost 01 requests takeoff!"
"Ghost 01, permission to take off!"
The ghost bird began to accumulate power, and with just one acceleration, it immediately took off from the ground, soared into the sky in an instant, rushed to a height of ten thousand meters, and disappeared in an instant.
"Report tracking data!" With a speed that exceeds the performance of bombers, they don't have to rely on their naked eyes to track it. There are other reliable channels that can use the power of technology to track the Ghost Raptor H-20 for them at all times.
Engineer Zhan began to give instructions to the tower center of gravity.
"Ghost 01 has entered the scheduled flight range and is now approaching the maximum envelope. It has now reached an altitude of 20,000 meters and a high altitude speed of Mach 3.37!"
"Mach 3.37, a record broken! Our Ghost Bird is a true ghost, with an unparalleled speed that no one can catch up with!" Feng Yuanyang waved his arms vigorously and shared excitedly with Lu Xiao and Wu Tong.
The current Ghost Raptor is completely different from his first draft, and it is almost impossible to find any trace of his original appearance design.
However, Feng Yuanyang was not ashamed at all, because the superb landing result was the most important. Although he was the original designer of H-20, it was only a design within his scope of vision, not the best design.
It was the two young men beside him who gave H-20 the innovative and superior design, the magnificent technological changes, the possibility of leading the world, and truly put it into production, turning it from a blueprint into reality.
Their ghost birds of prey will be like real birds of prey and real ghosts, with imperceptible superior combat speed and ultra-long-distance flight range. They will shine in practice and become the most advantageous practitioners of justice and peace, judging the world!
What they did was that these two young people made the technology more optimized, and what they didn't do was also overcome by their research and development, design and implementation into reality.
Especially the breakthrough of the variable sweep wing that helps the Ghost to reach faster speeds, which shocked them almost to the point of tears!
In the design of aircraft, there is a contradiction that is not easy to overcome: in order to increase the flight Mach number, it is necessary to select wings with large sweep angles and small aspect ratios to reduce the aircraft's shock wave drag. However, such wings have small lift and large induced drag in subsonic states, and are not efficient.
From an aerodynamic point of view, in order to simultaneously meet the aircraft's requirements for supersonic flight, subsonic cruise and short takeoff and landing, it is best to make the wings swept back, using different sweep angles to adapt to different flight conditions. On this basis, the ultimate technology of variable swept wings was born.
Our overseas and neighboring big brothers had already started to develop this technology in the early days of the founding of the country in the last century when they were still in the difficult times. The Tu-160, one of the most technologically advanced representatives of our neighboring big brothers, is one of the most representative works of variable sweep wing technology.
At that time, the Soviet Air Force proposed a multi-purpose intercontinental bomber reconnaissance aircraft with a speed of 3200 to 3500 km/h at an altitude of 18,000 meters, a low-altitude range of 11,000 to 13,000 kilometers, a high-altitude subsonic range of 16,000 to 18,000 kilometers, and supersonic cruise capability.
However, due to the limitations, experts concluded after preliminary research that it was unrealistic to develop such an aircraft under the technical conditions at the time, and thus the project was terminated.
Three years later, the big brother next door finally chose to lower the technical requirements. The final impact data of the Tu-160 was that the maximum subsonic range was reduced to 14,000 to 16,000 kilometers, and the sprint speed was 2,000 kilometers per hour.
As a leader in the fighter aircraft design industry, Feng Yuanyang can easily access this data!
He now stood up straight with pride. Not only did their Ghost Raptor H-20 not lower its requirements, but the predicted data were all superior and breakthrough.
Especially since the test flight, many data have become real record-breaking data! Their altitude has exceeded 20,000 meters, and their high-altitude speed has exceeded 3.37 Mach, exceeding 4,000 kilometers per hour, the world's highest speed! This speed gives the ghost bird an unchallengeable and irreplaceable ghostly momentum!
"This is not the maximum speed of the H-20!" There was a gleam of hope in Engineer Zhan's eyes, and joy appeared on his face. Just the initial impact speed had already broken the record, surpassing the current world's fastest fighter speed of 3.35 Mach. He had even more sincere expectations for the subsequent test data.
H-20, their ghost raptor, will definitely create miracles! The dream he had been looking forward to for many years finally became a reality.
"Conduct a super maneuverability test!"
···············
On this day, the people of Chang'an who were traveling outside had the opportunity to see a miracle that they would talk about for the rest of their lives.
At first, it was some vaguely heard strange sounds that attracted their attention. It seemed like the endless spring thunder in the spring when all things come back to life. But among the crisp thunder, people with sharp ears felt the whistling sound of a summer hurricane.
This made them feel strange. It was early autumn, so where did the spring thunder and summer hurricane come from? People are always curious, and they couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound!
People looked up following the sound and saw a black shadow breaking through the clouds in the clear blue sky. Wherever it passed, the clouds shattered.
When they saw it, it was still far away, and just when they were wondering, what is that?
There was no room for much speculation, only a moment of surprised reaction, and it instantly flew over their heads, at such a fast speed, like a ghost, which was jaw-dropping.
