Magicraft Meister Part 3

The prototype, which was the result of Jin's idea, showed stable ascent.

However, this is only an appearance, as Reiko's exquisite control of the aircraft's pitching, or up-and-down rotation around its left-right axis, can be seen.

"Hmmm, is it still difficult to control?"

After gaining about 20 meters of altitude, Reiko started to turn slowly.

"Oh, this one is stable," she said.

Since the left and right sides of the plane are symmetrical, it seems to be very resistant to rolling, i.e., the turbulence of turning left and right around the front-back axis.

"Hmmm, then it would be better to make the front and rear symmetrical as well.

Jin is observing the flight of the prototype while muttering to himself.

Reiko gradually reduced the prototype from a large turn to a small turn.

The 50 meter radius became 40 meters, then 35 meters, then 30 meters.

The overall width of the prototype is approximately 10 meters. It would be impossible for an aerodynamically floating plane to make a turn with such a small radius.

The prototype now tilted about 20 degrees to the right and made a right turn.

"This is about the limit of what we can do this way.

A turning radius of about 20 meters was possible.

"If you put the characteristics of a VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft in front ...... of you, yes, that's right."

As if she had read Jin's thoughts, Reiko now showed the aircraft as a VTOL, i.e., stationary in the air, and then slowly changed direction.

"Yes, this way I can change direction on the spot. ......Good."

Jin waved his hand and motioned for Reiko to land.

The prototype landed about 10 meters away from Jin.

"Reiko, you did a good job."

"Yes, father."

Thanks to you, I found out some of the problems," he said.

But first, it was time for lunch.

"Brother Jin, dinner!"

Erza came to call him.

"Yes, okay."

Jin asked Smith to bring the prototype to the workshop, and followed Elsa to the laboratory cafeteria.

Lunch that day was sandwiches.

Ham, vegetables, tuna salad, eggs, ham cutlet, etc.

When I finished eating, Elsa asked me, "How are you doing?

"How are you doing?　I'm doing fine."

"Well, the first half of ...... wasn't so good. I tried another prototype, but I think that one is better.

"Yeah. I'll check it out later.

"Yeah."

After quenching their thirst with Citran juice, they each go to finish their unfinished work.

Jin goes to the workshop and Erza to the reference room.

In the workshop, Jin stands in front of the prototype,

"Well, let's fix it up a little bit," he says.

He said, and then he clapped his right fist and left palm.

"Father, what part?"

Reiko asked.

"Yes, I'm trying to make the front and back symmetrical.

The left and right sides were symmetrical, so they were very well balanced.

The front and rear are unbalanced due to the position of the cockpit and the position of the propulsion system.

The idea was to balance the two sides well.

The cockpit should be at the center of gravity.

The propulsors are placed under the left and right circular wings to make them more stable.

Since the original model is a <>, the stability is improved by suspending it from the circular wings.

The size of the front and rear circular blades should be the same, and the distance from the center of gravity should be the same to achieve balance.

To put it a little more technically, this is called <.

"Okay, try it this way."

"Yes, Father."

The slightly modified prototype was brought to the front of the laboratory, and Reiko took the pilot's seat again.

"Okay, let's go!"

With a single voice, Reiko started up the blow engine.

The prototype slowly ascended.

"Oh, it looks stable."

This time, without correcting the balance, the prototype climbed vertically while maintaining stability.

Reiko enters a turn at an altitude of 20 meters.

This is no different from the previous case.

After completing the 20-meter radius turn, Reiko enters a vertical maneuverability test.

"Oh, much better this time."

The gentle ascent and descent is very stable, as is the front-rear balance.

"Okay, Hope, let's fly the TAUBE."

"Yes, Master."

Observation from the ground was no longer sufficient, so Jin decided to check from the sky.

"Jin, take me with you."

Then Erza arrived. She had finished compiling the data.

< has a six-seater, so there is no problem at all.

"Okay. Then get on board.

Yes.

The with Jin, Erza, and Hope on board soars into the sky over Horai Island. It chased after the prototype.

The who had been maintaining the warding on the ground disbanded.

The two planes flew at about 100 km/h and were over Tatsumi Bay in a blink of an eye.

The prototype accelerates toward the sea. <

"Wow, it's fast!"

< is slowly closing in on them.

Reiko has called.

Jin watched the behavior of the prototype with bated breath.
