978. Chapter 978 Flight

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

    When the experimental prototype is lifted into position, as soon as the retainer is released, it will start to slide under the action of gravity until it rushes out of the track. The whole acceleration process is quite like a roller coaster in 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. At the speed of the glider, both the climber and the sea can prepare for the driver and the ambulanceman.

    This is why Roland gave the machine a double seat from the beginning.

    Now both Lightning and Macy are fighting in the wild wasteland, and the responsibility for 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, shaking his fist like he was cheering for himself, and then walked with Tilly to the aircraft.

……

    When he climbed the plane, Wendy discovered that it was much more than he had imagined.

    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 Macy after the Dread Beast 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. She always feels that once she flies up, she can break it just by blowing a strong wind.

    Although Roland mentioned that this is normal, the strength of the aluminum skeleton can fully cope with all kinds of maneuvers at low speeds. The toughness of Soraya’s painted skin is far stronger than ordinary leather and fabric, but these two wings are really some. 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 that it will be alright,” the soldier said, and Wendy turned back a little.

    “I know, um…The first thing to do is…”

    “Check if the rudder surfaces are normal.”Tilly behind him calmed. “Don’t be nervous, you figured out the problem, me too looking at you.”

“……Thank you!When I heard this, Wendy suddenly felt a lot of peace of mind. Yes, the flight principle class that Your Majesty tells is not the only one she has ever heard. If someone can correct her omissions in time, she can make fewer mistakes.

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

    Wendy took a deep breath, both hands pulled a wrench in front of the seat, and there was a buzzing sound under her body – she knew it was the sound of the bottom wire pulling the tail, before the prototype was built. She has practiced hundreds of times on the simulator.

    “The elevator is normal, then it is…Well, the rudder. ”Tilly went on.

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

    If the lifting lever is a lever that can only move back and forth, then the direction lever can only move left and right. The card holder has already fixed their Orbit, and the bicycle faucet can turn around.

    “The rudder is also normal, and finally the aileron.”

    According to Your Majesty’s, most of the flying machines 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 up 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 are well understood, and Wendy can use the chapter “Structure Decomposition and Synthesis” 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, the area is not as much as the former First, the steel cable that passes through the skeleton is connected to the pedal under the foot of the foot, 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 had asked Your Majesty about this, since the rudder can cause deflection, why should we set up a pair of ailerons, and Your Majesty’s explanation is that these three rudder surfaces are not effective, and each action needs to be done together, only 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 needed a detailed test data to write an instructive Flight Manual – what operations need to be done to achieve maneuvering in different poses, or the impact of changes in wind direction on the aircraft, There are also the deficiencies felt during the operation…With these data, a truly reliable aircraft is possible.

    “The aileron doesn’t seem to have any problems,” Tilly patted her on the shoulder. “I will hand it over to you.”

    Wendy felt her heart beat a bit. She looked at His Majesty The King in the distance and turned to the soldier and said, “I am ready, open the holder.”

    “Yes, please pay attention!”The soldiers were busy at once.

    The runway was emptied, the green light was fully open, and Wendy was silent in the bottom of heart. Although I don’t understand what it means to be a password, Your Majesty says that it can bring luck, so it’s done.

    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 would you like 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.

    That’s right, to give the wind – the speed of the run is not enough to support the weight of two people, she needs to create a stable and gentle upper hand, gently lift the huge wings –

    The idea just came out, her body had already acted, the magic power vortex ran, and an invisible airflow appeared out of thin air, lightly below the wing.

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

    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 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 light She slightly raised her eyes.

    For a moment, Wendy felt like a petrel that was just rising from the sky and was going backwards.

    This feeling is so free, and she understands why Your Majesty says that airplanes and hot air balloons are two very different things.

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

    The glider’s nose 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 caused the entire body to fall with face upwards.

    “You have overdone!”Tilly exclaimed.

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