Chapter 246 I drive a dragon, fly to the future

Zhu Guangzu reported that everything is ready to take off.

The flight command center did not immediately issue a take-off order, but waited for a while. Everyone knew that Mr. Lin, Zhao Mingzhi and others would arrive soon. Sure enough, there was a movement within a few minutes.

"Mr. Lin, hello."

"Hello Director Zhao!"

Lin Feng nodded slightly, and asked, "Have all the preparations before takeoff been done?"

This time is the maximum range verification flight. In theory, the maximum range of this transport helicopter can reach 3000 kilometers, and the maximum flight speed can reach 380 kilometers, but that is only theoretical. What will happen in reality?

The maximum flight speed has been verified, and the fastest flight speed is 387.6 kilometers, but the maximum flight range has not yet been verified.

The previous ones can only be regarded as appetizers, and the real test is now beginning.

It was precisely because this was a real test that Lin Feng, Zhao Mingzhi and others came over in person, ready to watch the helicopter take off in person.

"Mr. Lin, everything is ready, and the flight route has been completely determined. There was a take-off and landing midway, and finally arrived at the XXX military airport in the northwest, with a flight distance of about 3000 kilometers."

The flight distance will be as long as 3000 kilometers. To be on the safe side, Zhao Mingzhi arranged a landing point in the middle, which is a military airport somewhere in the north. Landed there, stayed overnight, continued to take off the next morning, and finally arrived at a military airport in the northwest.

Lin Feng originally meant to fly 3000 kilometers in one go without stopping, and he was very confident in the plane, but considering the energy of the pilots, they needed to rest, and finally agreed to this stop.

Now that everything is ready, let's get started.

Lin Feng said loudly, "Give the order to take off, take off immediately, and start the test flight verification with the maximum range."

The order was issued immediately, and through the huge glass, it could be clearly seen that the helicopter started to start, and the composite rotors began to rotate. After a while, the plane steadily left the ground and flew towards the distance.

Instead of flying directly to the northwest, but to the southeast, the flight distance of 3000 kilometers must be circled in a large circle.

The helicopter flew farther and higher, and finally disappeared into the distant sky and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhu Guangzu and his partner flew the helicopter at an altitude of more than 320 meters, maintaining a cruising speed of [-] kilometers and flying forward.

After several days of operation and flying, to be honest, Zhu Guangzu is very satisfied with this helicopter. He has thousands of hours of flying experience and has flown various types of helicopters, but this is the first time he has encountered such a good operational performance.

The excellent handling performance, scientific and reasonable cockpit design, and even ergonomics made him more and more fond of this helicopter, and he even thought in his heart that he must apply to drive this transport helicopter after it is deployed in the army in the future.

In his heart, the helicopters currently in service, even the armed helicopters, seem to be unsavory, and they are far less attractive than this helicopter.

The flight is very stable, the altitude is more than 2000 meters, all the instruments and meters display very normal, and the operation is easy.

Zhu Guangzu can even have a few words with his partner.

"Old Liu, this helicopter is very maneuverable, have you noticed this?"

"I discovered it a long time ago. I never expected that Leihuo Technology and Industry Group would bring us surprises one after another."

"Yeah, it's true that there are surprises one after another. It doesn't matter that such an advanced helicopter has been developed, but even the operability can give people an amazing feeling."

"Old Zhu, there will be a series of verification flight tests in the future, and I hope the two of us will carry them out."

"Well, I also like the feeling of driving it, and I will apply to the above."

"."

The two of them talked like this, and they both fell in love with this helicopter, and even wanted to participate in a series of subsequent flight verifications. Such a situation is definitely rare. Generally speaking, very few pilots would have such an idea.

It is very risky to fly a new model, especially for a verification test flight. Whether it is abroad or at home, it is normal for several planes to fall during the verification test flight, and pilots often die because of this. .

Knowing that flying is very risky, both of them actually want to continue to participate in a series of subsequent flights. There is only one reason, and that is that they have fallen in love with this helicopter.

Several hours of connecting flight, thousands of kilometers, the helicopter arrived at an airport, took a short rest, and the technical and quality personnel of Leihuo Technology Industry Group, which had arrived earlier and was waiting there, did some basic inspections on the helicopter.

Everything is fine and you can continue your flight tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, under the beautiful morning glow, the helicopter took off and flew towards the final destination. It took another few hours and another thousand or hundreds of kilometers.

Zhu Guangzu looked at the digital display of the fuel gauge, and then at the cruising range. He was surprised to find that he could still fly more than 200 kilometers, and the destination was the tens of kilometers ahead.

Looking at the flight mileage again, it has flown nearly 3000 kilometers since it took off from Thunderfire Helicopter’s airport yesterday, and it is said to be 2969.7 kilometers.

After confirming that it was correct, Zhu Guangzu reported the situation. He suggested not to land for the time being, but to continue flying until the fuel was almost exhausted, and then consider landing at the final destination airport.

This situation was immediately reported to Lin Feng.

Zhao Mingzhi said, "Boss, after receiving the latest report, our helicopter is already approaching the destination airport, but judging from the remaining fuel, it can continue to fly for more than 200 kilometers. Do you want to continue flying?"

Lin Feng thought about it for a while, then waved his hand and said, "In order to obtain the most realistic data, continue flying until the fuel is exhausted."

This decision immediately reached Zhu Guangzu, so instead of flying the helicopter directly to the destination airport, he started to make a big circle around the airport and continued to fly.

A military airport in the northwest.

There are various aircraft parked here, including fighter jets, trainer aircraft, and some helicopters.

Rows of fighter planes are arranged very neatly, more than twenty fighter planes, not far from them, and there are about seven or eight trainer planes neatly parked.

There are also two types of helicopters. In addition to a few transport helicopters, there are also a few new types of armed helicopters that have just entered the army.

Guang Feiwen is a helicopter pilot and has obtained the qualification of a second-level pilot. He is chatting with several of his comrades.

"I heard that Leihuo Technology Industrial Group's helicopter will fly to our airport, and will conduct a series of verification tests here."

"I know this helicopter. It was on the news broadcast a few days ago. It is a military transport helicopter. It is said that it is of the world's advanced level and is the best among similar transport helicopters."

"I don't know if there is a chance to fly."

"."

After they chatted like this for a while, someone suddenly seemed to have a new discovery, pointing to the distant sky and saying, "Have you noticed that helicopter, it seems to have been circling in the sky."

"Really, hey, why have I never seen this helicopter before?"

"It should be a new model that we have never seen before. Could it be the transport helicopter of Leihuo Technology Industry Group?"

Gradually, more and more people noticed this helicopter, and some even took a look at it with binoculars, and it became very clear that it was definitely a new model that no one had ever seen before.

Taking this airport as the center, the helicopter flew around several times, and after flying more than 200 kilometers, the fuel was basically exhausted, and the fuel warning light was already on.

"Old Zhu, it's time to land."

Zhu Guangzu looked at the remaining fuel. As expected of a first-class pilot with unusually rich experience, he shook his head and said, "No hurry, you can fly more than [-] kilometers."

When the fuel was really running out, Zhu Guangzu calmly and calmly drove the helicopter to a successful landing.

When it was firmly on the ground, Zhu Guangzu looked at the flight mileage this time, my good guy, it actually reached 3212.5 kilometers.

Soon, the technicians from Leihuo Technology Industry Group trotted all the way over, first recorded the data of this maximum flight test flight verification, and then carried out some basic inspections on the helicopter.

The actual maximum range is 3212.5 kilometers!

Everything is fine with the plane!
The situation was also quickly reported back to Leihuo Technology Industry Group. Some ground staff at the airport, including some pilots, came over. It didn't take long for the plane to be surrounded by many people.

"This is the new type of transport helicopter developed by Leihuo Technology Industry Group. It looks extraordinary, especially the appearance, which is not ordinary."

"Look at the details, the workmanship is very delicate, and the quality is estimated to be top-notch."

"."

The onlookers looked at the helicopter with great interest. Some pilots were obviously familiar with Zhu Guangzu and greeted him warmly.

"Old Zhu, why did you fly the helicopter to our place?"

Zhu Guangzu said, "We are conducting a test flight with the largest range."

"Old Zhu, the maximum range of this helicopter should exceed 1000 kilometers."

Someone immediately said, "It can't be 1000 kilometers. The maximum range of most of our helicopters is only a few hundred kilometers."

"Yes, how could it be 1000 kilometers? Have you ever seen a domestically-made helicopter with such a long range? Even imported helicopters rarely exceed 1000 kilometers."

Seeing everyone like this, Zhu Guangzu smiled.

And his partner couldn't help it anymore, and said loudly, "You guys underestimate this helicopter. Its maximum range exceeds 3000 kilometers, and the exact number is 3212.5 kilometers."

what!
This is impossible! ! !
Everyone looked at Zhu Guangzu in unison, all with an expression that I would not believe that I would be killed.

Zhu Guangzu smiled happily and loudly said proudly, "That's right, its maximum actual range is indeed 3212.5 kilometers!"

Quiet!

Incredibly quiet!
The originally chaotic and extremely lively scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone is a pilot, or at least a ground crew. They are considered professionals in the industry, not laymen. They fully understand the gold content of the maximum flight range of more than 3000 kilometers!

This is simply going against the sky!
Simply unheard of! ! !

in the office.

Lin Feng already knew the actual maximum range of this transport helicopter. As expected of the system design, it was really excellent. The actual maximum range actually reached 3212.5 kilometers.

The prototype made its first flight successfully, and its performance has been excellent. The second prototype has been put into final assembly, but this helicopter has no name yet.

It deserves a name of its own!

And it must also be a famous name.

With this idea in mind, Lin Feng picked up the phone and called Zhao Mingzhi, and said straight to the point, "Old Zhao, what would be a better name for our helicopter?"

Zhao Mingzhi said, "Boss, I've been thinking about this too, but I haven't thought of a suitable name. After much deliberation, I think it's better to brainstorm. As the saying goes, three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang."

Lin Feng said, "So, you suggest a large-scale naming campaign."

"Yes, that's what I mean. Let everyone help us name this transport helicopter, and then we will choose the most suitable name."

He simply stated his thoughts.

Lin Feng very much agrees with this plan, since it can be solved with a small amount of money, there is no need to rack your brains to think about what kind of name to choose.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng called Ding Haixia in, explained his thoughts, and then said, "Just publish the call for names in the "Huaxia Aviation News" and call for proposals for our transport helicopter from the entire aviation industry." Once the name is adopted, a reward of 1000 yuan will be given."

1000 yuan!

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a lot of money, which is worth three or four months' wages, and there is no cost to pay, just take a name and send it to Leihuo Technology Industrial Group.

Ding Haixia's efficiency was very high. Two days later, the "China Aviation News" published the name-calling announcement, and it was still on the front page.

The name announcement quickly attracted a lot of attention.

Such as Phoenix Factory.

Today's newspaper has been delivered in the process technology room of workshop 406, and it is placed on the large table for reading drawings, but it will not attract many people's attention for a while, because the prototype of Leihuo Technology Industry Group has successfully made its first flight , except for Leihuo Technology Industry Group, other news reports are difficult to attract everyone's interest.

Zhang Chunhua was a newcomer who had only been working for two years, and he didn't have much work at hand. Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't have much to do, he simply pulled up a chair and sat beside the big table, picked up a newspaper and casually flipped through it.

This is today's "Phoenix Daily", which mainly tells some local news in Phoenix City, which did not arouse his interest.

Putting down the "Phoenix Daily" in his hand, he picked up today's "China Aviation News" and read it. Soon his eyes lit up. Leihuo Technology and Industry Group actually issued an announcement to name their transport helicopter.

Of course, he knew about this transport helicopter. Not long ago, it had a successful maiden flight. It was a world-leading transport helicopter. He had even seen the real color picture of this helicopter and thought it was very beautiful.

After reading this name solicitation announcement from beginning to end, seeing the reward of 1000 yuan, I gradually became a little eager in my heart, and thought to myself, should I participate? Anyway, I just need to come up with a name, write it on letter paper and send it to me. Just go out.The detailed mailing address and zip code are left on the announcement.

"Xiao Zhang, is there any news in "China Aviation News" today?"

It was a process supervisor and also Zhang Chunhua's boss. He probably just finished his work and sat down to read today's new newspaper.

Zhang Chunhua hurriedly said, "Gong Liu, look at this announcement. The Leihuo Technology Industry Group is openly collecting names for their own transport."

"Oh, there is such a thing, let me take a look."

He took the newspaper, read the announcement, and then shouted loudly, "I want to tell you a good news. Leihuo Technology and Industry Group is openly collecting names for their transport helicopters. Once they are accepted, they will be rewarded with 1000 yuan!"

Leihuo Technology Industrial Group!

Reward 1000 yuan!
This suddenly attracted the attention of many craftsmen, and many people immediately came over and gathered around to read this announcement with great interest.

"1000 yuan is as low as my four months' wages."

"Such a good opportunity must be given a try, in case it is adopted."

"Stop talking, I'm going to mail to buy envelopes and stamps now."

"Bring me a copy too, I've already thought of a good name."

"."

Zhang Chunhua returned to his seat, took out the letter paper and spread it out on the table. After sitting there thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the letter paper.

I drive Tianlong, fly to the future!
Dragon!

After writing, fold the letter paper, put it in the envelope, and paste an eight-cent stamp on it.

With the issuance of this announcement, the solicitation campaign was launched in the domestic aviation industry. Letters flew to Leihuo Technology Industry Group like snowflakes, and hundreds of letters were received in just one week.

A large number of letters continued to increase every day. The Leihuo Technology Industry Group received a total of one thousand and hundreds of letters during the half-month name-calling activity. After careful screening, 10 more suitable ones were selected and sent to Lin Feng's desk.

Ding Haixia knocked on the door and walked into Lin Feng's office, reporting, "Boss, as of July 7, we have received a total of 20 letters from you. After more than 1457 names, we have screened 1000 for you to review."

Lin Feng took the folder, looked at the ten names, and finally settled on the word "Tianlong".

I drive Tianlong, fly to the future!
Lin Feng said, "It's a good name. From today onwards, our transport helicopter will be code-named 'Tianlong'. You should send out the document immediately, and the whole group will report it to let everyone know that our transport helicopter has a name."

"Okay, boss." Ding Haixia replied.

Codenamed Tianlong!

From then on, this transport helicopter was called Sky Dragon!
I didn't save any manuscripts, and I woke up early in the morning to type, I really admire myself, and now my fingers are cold.
