Release that Witch

Chapter 978: flight

In order to allow the glider to run, the Ministry of Construction, according to Roland's request, built a track pointing directly to the sea on the edge of the stone, and the two ends of the road were lifted upwards, like a string moon.

When the experimental prototype is lifted into position, as long as the retainer is loosened, it will start to slide under the action of gravity until the entire acceleration process of the orbit is quite like a roller coaster of the later generations, but it is far less exciting.

Of course, these alone do not guarantee that the wing can get enough lift, so Wendy needs to create some advantages.

Once you jump out of Shiling, the height difference of up to 15 meters from the sea surface is ample adjustment space. With the speed of the glider, both the climber and the sea can prepare for the driver and the ambulanceman.

This is why Roland put the two seats on the prototype from the beginning.

Nowadays, lightning and wheat stubble are fighting wildly, and the responsibility of ambulance is naturally handed to Tilly.

The latter readily agreed.

"Come on board," Roland estimated that time was almost up, and turned and said to the two.

Wendy nodded, as if he was cheering for himself, he clenched his fist and then walked with the Tilly to the aircraft.

......

When climbing the plane, Wendy discovered that this thing was much larger than she thought.

Especially the two pairs of straight wings on the top of the head and under the feet, no bird can compare with it, even the bees that are feared of being animalized, it is a little bit shorter.

Under the breeze of the sea breeze, the slender wing tip can see obvious jitter, which makes her feel a little uneasy, always feel that once it flies, as long as a random wind blows, it can be broken.

Although Roland once mentioned that this is a normal phenomenon, the strength of the aluminum skeleton can fully cope with various maneuvers at low speeds. The toughness of Soloya's painted skin is far stronger than ordinary leather and fabric, but these two wings It is a bit thin, compared to its area, it is not too much to say that it is a piece of paper.

"Adult, if you are ready, let me know," the soldier said, letting Wendy come back a little.

"I know, um... the first thing to do is..."

"Check if the rudders are normal." Tilly comforted behind him. "Don't be nervous, you figured out the problem, and I looked at you."

"...thank you." Wendy suddenly felt a lot of peace of mind when he heard this. Yes, the flight principle class described by her Majesty is not the only one she has ever heard. If someone can correct her omission in time, she can Make fewer mistakes.

“First the tail elevator, controlled by the main lever.”

Wendy took a deep breath and pulled a wrench on the front of the seat with her hands. Then there was a snoring sound under her body. She knew that this was the sound of the bottom wire pulling the tail. Before the prototype was built, she I have practiced hundreds of times on the simulator.

"The elevator is normal, then... um, rudder." Tilly continued.

However, the components on the simulator are much simpler. Two vertical bars, two pedals, and several steel cables make up all of them. Wendy can hardly believe that with these things, the glider in the mouth can be made. Flying like a bird, after all, it is not much more complicated to operate than a bicycle.

If the lifting rod is a rod that can only move back and forth, then the direction lever can only move left and right, the deck has been fixed to their trajectory, and the bicycle faucet can turn around.

"The rudder is also normal, and finally the aileron."

According to His Majesty, most of the aircraft have three sets of wings, one in front and two in the back. The three look at the front and form a "earth" symbol. Standing upright is the rudder, which functions like a rudder. When the wind is imagined as a stream of water, its deflection can change the direction of the nose.

The first shorter bar is the elevator, which can also be called the tail. When the lift is raised, the nose is raised. When the nose is lowered, the nose is falling, like a rudder lying down. Both of these are very well understood, and Wendy can use the chapter "Decomposition and Synthesis of Forces" in Elementary Physics to presume its working principle.

And the last bar represents the aileron, until it sees the real thing, Wendy understands where the word "deputy" comes from. It is embedded in the big wings, and the area is less than one tenth of the former. It is connected to the pedal under your own foot by a steel cable that passes through the skeleton, just one side.

It differs from the former two in that it must be lifted and raised to be effective. The opposite forces on both sides will cause the aircraft to deflect or even roll, and it is also the most important control component in flight.

Wendy once asked her, because the rudder can cause deflection, why should we set up a pair of ailerons, and the explanation is that the three rudder surfaces are not effective, and each action needs to be done together. When the rudder is swung, it is easy to cause the traverse of the body, and in the case of a sharp turn, it is necessary to lower the elevator to stabilize the height.

Because of this, he only needs a detailed test data to write the instructive Flight Manual in different postures, what operations need to be taken to achieve maneuvering; or the impact of changes in wind direction on the aircraft, and The deficiencies felt during operation... After obtaining these data, a truly reliable aircraft is possible.

"The ailerons seem to have no problem," Tilly patted her on the shoulder. "I will hand it over to you."

Wendy felt her heart beat a bit. She glanced at the majesty of the king in the distance and turned to the soldier and said, "I am ready, open the holder."

"Yes, please pay attention!" The soldiers immediately got busy.

The runway was emptied, the green light was fully open, and Wendy was silent in the bottom of my heart. Although I don't understand the meaning of this password, if you say that it can bring luck, then you will do it.

With a slight shock, the glider type was pushed onto the track.

Then it is falling.

The sound of the wheels and the track squeaking, the whole body is shaking, she feels that she is quickly sliding down the top of the slope, and the sea at the end of the track is getting closer and closer to her.

A heart instantly mentioned the eyes of the blind.

What to do next?

She thought a little flustered, seeing that the track was halfway through, but there was no sign of flying.

"Give the wind!" Tilly shouted.

Yes, the speed of the wind is not enough to support the weight of two people, she needs to create a stable and gentle upper wind, gently lift the huge wings

The thought had just emerged, her body had already acted, the magic vortex ran, and an invisible airflow emerged from the air, lightly below the wing.

The harsh friction was relieved a lot, and the weight of the glider was no longer there. Wendy had not had time to understand the meaning of these changes, and the plane had already rushed out of the edge of the stone.

A short upturn made her experience a clear sense of overweight, as if someone had reached out and pressed her into the seat.

At the same time, the back of the body made her unable to help pull the main lever.

The nose responded to her control and it was more obvious.

The angle of view has also changed, and the brown land of dead grass and fallen leaves disappeared without a trace. Even the wide vortex sea has become a supporting role. The blue sky fills most of her field of vision, and the glare of the glare makes She narrowed her eyes.

For a moment, Wendy felt like she was just a sea bream, and she was backlit.

This feeling is so free, and let her understand why the majesty said that the plane and the hot air balloon are two very different things.

But only a few seconds later, Wendy found that the wind in his ear had subsided.

The nose of the glider was raised high, but it did not continue to climb, and the time was like standing still. She wanted to increase the wind, but found that the wind blowing on the main wing not only did not reverse the dilemma, but turned the fuselage upside down.

"You pulled over!" Tilly exclaimed.

I haven't had time to think about what went wrong. The plane has fallen down like a stone.
