"How high can you fly?" Qin Guan asked.

Ordinary ground effects can only be available on the ground a few meters high, or a few meters high on the sea surface. Because the ground is undulating, it only has a practical effect on the sea. The original ground effect aircraft are also This kind of thinking.

But now, in Akseleyev’s hands, it’s different. He uses power boost technology. The eight engines in front are used to generate extra lift, so even if they leave the ground. , There is no problem, it is this technology that makes the ground-effect aircraft finally have the value of realization.

Now, after hearing Qin Guan's question, Akseleyev said: "The height of seven kilometers is no problem."

Seven kilometers, this is a sea transport ship, it is simply a transport ship in the sky. With a total weight of one thousand tons, flying at an altitude of seven kilometers, it sounds like an alien science fiction film.

However, Qin Guan knew that this was no problem. Their previous ground-effect aircraft could fly so high.

"What if you encounter complicated weather conditions?" Qin Guan asked again.

Under complicated weather conditions, if you want to fly particularly high, the danger is even higher.

"It depends on the specific situation. In short, as long as the Black Hawk helicopter can go, we can go." Akseliev said.

Qin Guan asked him this way. He probably guessed something. Maybe they wanted to send this big guy to the plateau, right? The altitude there is high, and the weather conditions are also bad. If it were the previous model, he really wouldn't dare, but now he is confident.

Black Hawk helicopters can go, they can go. Although they are aircraft, they are built according to the standards of ships. They are stronger and stronger than ordinary airplanes. If it is not too high, the power will increase. Limited, their flying altitude may be higher, if they fly to the stratosphere, they don't need to care about bad weather, there is no complicated air convection.

Qin nodded his opinion: "That's it, I designed two routes."

The talent on the side spread out the blueprints. When he discovered that it was a world map, Akseliev opened his eyes. This transportation mission was actually an international navigation mission!

"On the one hand, it is to take the sea route, from here to the east, to the sea, to the south, and then turn to the west, so that it takes a long route to reach the destination, on the other hand, it is from us, directly to the west. , Crossing the plateau here to reach the destination can save more than half of the voyage, and the time is fast."

Akseleyev's eyes widened. The destination Qin pointed out was too conspicuous. Isn't that the country of date palms?

No wonder.

"I chose the second route and flew directly. I don't want to go around that far. It just happens to test the true strength of our ground-effect aircraft. It can fly not only in the sea but also in the air. However, this route It has already exceeded our voyage, so we have to make a replenishment midway." Akseliev said.

The ground-effect aircraft is fast, and the load capacity has also increased. However, the range is always a big problem. Compared with other aircraft, it uses more engines. Only the power increase in the front has eight engines. No matter how fuel-efficient the engine is, it will still consume precious fuel. Fill the entire aircraft with the maximum amount of fuel, 300 tons, which can't fly over in one breath, and must be refilled midway.

Ordinary airplanes are difficult to replenish midway. Refueling in the air is similar to performing acrobatics in the air, but the ground-effect aircraft is no longer needed. It can land on the sea and replenish the ship on the sea. Once it runs out of fuel, it can land. Waiting on the sea, when performing tasks, you will be more flexible.

"Of course, the supply point is ready." Qin Guan said: "It's in the Holy Nation, and along the way, there will be two fighter jets escorting."

This line is almost flying along the railway line that we are building. Although it was an urgently formulated transportation mission, it was prepared to be foolproof and must be escorted by fighter jets, so that in the event of danger, the specific location can be known at the first time, ready for rescue, and the construction of the railway line along the way They can start, and at the same time, this is also for future preparations.

In case one day, maritime transportation is cut off, oneself can still use this route to transport on land with this super monster, directly avoiding the sea.

Significant and worth a try.

"Understood." Akseleyev said: "Please rest assured, we will live up to our mission."

This mission is risky. In fact, every flight will be risky, but because there are risks, don't you go? Of course not, they love flying because the blue sky is there.

While studying the mission here, the vehicle there has successfully moved into the cargo compartment of the ground-effect aircraft, fixed it, and then closed the door.

Although Qin Guan wanted to go up, think about it, let it go, if he goes out, I don't know how many people are worried.

Qin Guan stood on the runway, watching the takeoff of this large ground-effect aircraft.

The scene is very spectacular, with the unique violent aesthetics of Xiong Country, from one end of the runway, facing the wind, the engine is ignited, the eight booster engines in the front and the thrust engines in the back are roaring together. The entire base, even the birds in the distance were shocked to fly into the sky.

When the tire touched the track, turned, and accelerated forward, Qin Guan's heart was lifted, no, the speed was too slow!

Even according to Qin Guan's layman's eyes, one can see that this huge guy accelerates very slowly on the runway. He has reached the other end of the runway, but it is still far from reaching the takeoff speed!

The speed of the aircraft must be high enough to be able to generate enough lift on the wings to tow the aircraft up. Now, is this ground-effect aircraft okay?

In his gaze, the ground-effect aircraft left the ground with difficulty, as if reluctantly. After all, it was a one-thousand-ton big guy, and after leaving, it almost always flew close to the ground, constantly The ground speeds up, speeds up, roars, and it goes away.

This is to make full use of the ground effect. Don’t look at the speed not fast enough, but there is power to increase. Therefore, the lift on the wing should be enough. After takeoff, it is close to the ground to increase this effect. Qin Guan responded. Coming here, Akseleyev will not make a mistake. Since he is about to take off, he must be sure.

I hope they can successfully transport the goods.
