Airport Meow

Chapter 395
This is the first time for Bei Haiyang to go to space in person, and it feels very novel and familiar.

He had been here twice before, but they were all borrowed from Erye Bei's body. There is still a big difference between cats and humans in terms of senses.

The entire take-off process took 50 minutes!It is estimated that it will take at least the same time and maybe more to re-enter the atmosphere!If you add the time extension caused by the increase in weight after loading passengers, and some unavoidable large and small situations in the process, the time to enter and exit the atmosphere is at least 3 hours!

In other words, in normal aviation, there is no need to adopt such a method to shorten the time for short and medium voyages within 3 hours, and the shorter the voyage, the more inappropriate it is!It only makes sense to use space roaming on routes with a voyage of more than 5 hours!

Specific to the current ordinary flights, it is meaningful to use space roaming on transcontinental and transoceanic routes, and it will not happen that you fly from New York to the East China Sea in an hour, and the guarantee is guaranteed for 3 hours.

From this point of view, the blow to the general aviation industry is not as big as imagined. At least the short and medium distances can be kept, and the economy is affordable and safe.

He has already realized that the biggest business opportunity for space roaming may not be traveling in different regions of the earth, but outside the earth!

Like, the moon?
From a technical point of view, from the airport take-off to the early stage of the stratosphere, the range below 30 kilometers is not a big problem in handling, because this is the range where traditional engines and wing effects work. With a little training, any civil aviation pilot It can be done, but it is only twice as high as the training altitude of normal sailing. Under the premise of reducing the load and rebuilding the engine, you only need to hold the joystick and push the throttle to the end.

The difficulty is that after passing through the ozone layer in the stratosphere, the altitude is about 30 kilometers. At this time, because of the thin air, the output of the traditional engine is greatly reduced, and it can no longer maintain the acceleration of the aircraft; at this time, adding the planetary energy power controlled by the mind is the key !
The area at an altitude of 30 kilometers to 50 kilometers is the most dangerous, because it is a hybrid power at this time. The pilot must not only control the four traditional engines, but also control the mental power to obtain planetary energy. How to find a suitable balance in it? The point is the most important!
The key is that although the air is thin at this time, it still exists, so the rudder surfaces of the wings are still functioning, but the effect is not as great as that below!In this case, how to control the posture reasonably is a big problem!

What's worse, the entire control process can only be done by one person!This is not something that can cooperate!The cooperation between people requires tacit understanding, and there must be a delayed understanding process, and it is impossible to achieve synchronization. This may turn over at any time in this dangerous area!
Only one person can come!Because if one person is alone, he has the same grasp of the situation of the entire aircraft and can react instantly!
When the altitude exceeds 50 kilometers and reaches the middle layer, the traditional engine completely fails and shuts down, and the influence of the air fluid is negligible. At this time, the operation becomes simpler again, which is purely the operation method of the spaceship pilot!
Therefore, the focus of the future assessment, probably between 30 kilometers and 50 kilometers, is the key to determining whether a take-off is successful.

After figuring this out, things become easier, at least for Bei Haiyang, he no longer needs to take off with the plane.

Captain Tristan didn’t stay in the 300-kilometer orbit for long, and the beautiful earth under the plane was already common in his eyes. After contacting the ground, he chose a path, slowed down, and began to lower the orbit, preparing to re-enter the atmosphere.

At this time, the power provided by the planetary energy sourced by spiritual power is no longer forward, but a reverse thrust similar to a traditional engine!But this kind of reverse thrust needs to be controlled very precisely, so that the orbit will gradually decrease instead of going straight down!

How to perfectly combine the destination, altitude, speed and altitude, and enter the atmosphere in the right airspace is a test of a pilot's ability; of course, the computer will give the optimal flight path, but there is no autopilot here Yi!

Because the computer cannot control the application of the human brain to mental power!The whole process is manual, which is the characteristic of space roaming. After entering space, human beings finally squeeze out the omnipotent brain. It is conceivable that as long as the power source in space is provided by human spiritual power, the computer will always be plugged in. Do not enter!
Bei Haiyang could clearly feel that Tristan was much more nervous when he landed than when he took off!The reason for the tension is that if you enter the atmosphere too fast, it will turn the plane into a falling meteor!

There is a heat-resistant shell outside the modified fuselage, but the heat insulation of this shell is limited, and it cannot withstand the friction generated by the air at high speeds; it is impossible to make it as thick as the space shuttle, otherwise, it will be It can't hold a few people, it's not for commercial use but for scientific research.

Tristan carefully controlled the speed of the plane, and when he returned to an altitude of 50 kilometers, the speed had dropped below 1 km/s, which was three times the speed of sound; fighter planes could withstand such a speed, but passenger planes still could not, he Still need to continue to drop!

But if you continue to descend, how to maintain the attitude of the aircraft is a big problem, because the air begins to thicken below 50 kilometers, and the rudder effect of the wings begins to take effect. It is no longer like in space, which direction you give the aircraft. Fly wherever you want, in the atmosphere, it is not the power that determines the attitude of the aircraft, but the wing and rudder surface!
The plane continued to descend, and Tristan focused his efforts on the attitude of the plane. He had already used all the planetary energy he had drawn from his mental power on this aspect, regardless of the speed, as he fell, he could only get faster and faster. Have to brake from time to time!
When the plane passed through the ozone layer, the speed was already lower than the speed of sound, Tristan simply stopped the mental control, started it in the air, and the four engines began to exert force!
This is the most dangerous process!Bei Haiyang noticed that during the descent, the pilot did not use hybrid power, but directly switched from mental power to engine power!

This kind of operation is relatively simple and safe, but the aircraft's descent path is relatively steep; this is a matter of personal style, and there are no mature procedures to refer to. The pros and cons of various descent methods can only be tested slowly over time!

When the plane descended below 20 kilometers, the most dangerous stage was finally passed, and Bei Haiyang understood why there were so few space pilots and it was so difficult to train them!

Any mistake in any link will make the landing fail!
To be honest, this is really a life-threatening gamble!I don't know how many people dare to spend a lot of money to make such a joke with their lives?
A space plane is completely different from a spaceship and much more dangerous!
