Chapter 186 Power Parachute (C)

After making up his mind, Jiang Chen and the research team of the powered paraglider began to organize the actual test flight of the powered paraglider.Although all the tests on the ground were successful, no one knows if it will be successful unless it is flying in the sky.In fact, everyone is very worried about what to do if they fail, what to do if someone is injured or killed in battle.In fact, Jiang Chen has no idea, but now that everyone is looking at him, he can't just shrink back like this.If he lost confidence, the project team below would be even more unable to work, so he gritted his teeth and gave the test flight order after careful consideration.

For this test flight, Jiang Chen and the others worked hard.First of all, they specially recruited more than a dozen veterans from the airborne troops from the air force. These soldiers have had many actual experience in skydiving, and some of them are instructors who specialize in skydiving training, so they have very rich experience in skydiving.Of course, this alone is not enough, because they are all exposed to ordinary non-operable circular umbrellas, so it is definitely not suitable for them to touch and operate paragliders.This paraglider differs not only in shape (a paraglider is a parafoil), but also in the way it operates (a paraglider is a parafoil with maneuverability).

In this regard, Jiang Chen asked them to learn basic knowledge about meteorology, so that they can fully grasp various meteorological conditions, such as wind speed, moderate, rising or falling airflow, and so on.On the other hand, Jiang Chen and the others also let these people participate in the entire paraglider design and manufacturing process, so that they can understand the details of each component, which is beneficial for these test pilots to handle various emergencies in the air. Condition.Secondly, Jiang Chen also organized them to learn and fly the unpowered paragliders that Smith bought from abroad. Let them understand and master this first, then it will be much easier to master the powered paragliders.

Because this unpowered paraglider must be tested on a high mountain, Jiang Chen specially took them to the mountain to fly when the weather is good.These people are indeed elites, and they can master the use of this paraglider after a few times of contact.But Jiang Chen didn't just do it, but asked them to continue flying in different environments and weathers, so that they could adapt to various climates and cope with the test flight of the powered paraglider.

Because it was a test flight, Jiang Chen didn't alarm many people, but there were still necessary preparations.For example, Jiang Chen organized more than a dozen guards from the service company into a search team on the ground, and then equipped them with motorcycles or cross 212 jeeps to facilitate the test pilots to land or make an emergency landing. Be able to rush to the scene as soon as possible after an accident.For another example, in order to improve the safety factor, Jiang Chen specially seconded a medical team from the hospital to accompany the test pilot, in order to provide safety guarantee for the test pilot, and to be able to arrive in time to treat the test pilot when he was injured.

Picking a sunny day, Jiang Chen brought the whole team to the open crop field in the valley plain to carry out the first flight test.After completing a series of preparatory work, Jiang Chen ordered the test flight to begin.

A test pilot, with the help of several crew members, dons his flight test gear and cranks up the engine.The fan rotates rapidly, blowing air to the paraglider located behind, and soon the entire paraglider is opened.The test pilot ran a few steps forward to lift the entire paraglider into the sky, and then a jump test pilot took off.The surrounding staff and nearby farmers all applauded and applauded.But before flying tens of meters, and before reaching a high altitude, the test pilot and the whole paramotor fell down.

The people who were applauding were caught at once, but Jiang Chen reacted quickly and shouted: "Hurry up and save people!"

Only then did everyone react, and then rushed to the crash site, but before Jiang Chen and the others ran over, the test pilot stood up by himself, and then patted the dirt on his body with his hands.Jiang Chenjian quickly shouted, "Feng Dahai, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Feng Dahai continued to do his work after speaking.This test pilot is called Feng Dahai, one of the paratroopers that Jiang Chen recruited before, and now he is the captain of the entire paragliding test pilot team. This time, he took the initiative to stand up and grab this task with other team members.Speaking of his name is actually very interesting, his father should be the first batch of navy since the founding of our country.He had been in the navy all his life, and he hoped that his son could also be in the navy, so he named Feng Dahai the name of Dahai.But this kid doesn't like being a navy, he's quite an air force.However, due to the low level of cultural courses, he was not selected as a pilot.But this kid was not reconciled, and directly signed up to be an airborne soldier.And this kid is very bold, he will skydive at any opportunity.Up to now, this kid's skydiving record is still the one with the most in their troops.

But it wasn't that he said he was fine, Jiang Chen also invited a doctor to give him an examination and found that he was really fine.This kid is lucky, the powered paraglider has not been in the air for a long time, so the height is not high, and the soil below is very soft, so there is no big problem.

Seeing that nothing happened, Jiang Chen asked, "What happened just now, why did it suddenly lose control and fall?"

Wang Dahai scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "It's the first time I mastered this powered paraglider, and I was a little uncomfortable, so I accidentally fell to the ground. Give me another chance, and I will definitely do it."

Jiang Chen looked at the dusty guy in front of him speechlessly and said, "Forget it, you should rest first and let others come first."

"I can do it, just let me do it." Wang Dahai said anxiously.

"Obey orders." Jiang Chen said with a glare.He didn't accept that he wouldn't give it a chance, but this kid's heart had already fluctuated. If he was allowed to test the flight again, the possibility of accidents would increase greatly. This was the last thing Jiang Chen wanted to see.

Changed someone and took off quickly.The test pilot took off very smoothly, and quickly flew to an altitude of more than ten meters, and then kept circling over Jiang Chen and the others.The people on the ground were not as disappointed as they had just fallen, and cheered again at this moment.Jiang Chen looked worried at the powered paraglider flying higher and higher, so he grabbed the radio's microphone and shouted: "Flying Eagle, Flying Eagle, don't fly too high, don't fly too high, it's over."

After a while, the test pilot's voice came from the radio: "Bird's Nest, I'm Flying Eagle, everything is in good condition now, please delay the flight time, it's over."

"The request is rejected. Please return on time and pay attention to safety. It's over." Jiang Chen immediately replied.He knew that the test pilot was too emotional and was in the excitement of the stimulus.If he is allowed to go on like this, something will definitely happen, especially this is the initial stage of the flight test, and he is very immature in all aspects, and it is easy to go wrong.
