Although, at this time, many people are praying in their hearts, hoping that the test flight of the aerospace plane can be successful, but they forget that science is nothing else. If it is a small matter in daily life, if you pray, there may be A miracle happened.

But science is not, especially a technology-intensive product like the aerospace plane, which integrates the world's top technology, is rigorous, and any negligence may cause irreversible consequences.

"Mr. Mark, tell me the truth, how sure are you of X Aerospace about the test flight of this aerospace plane?" Just as the off-line ceremony was about to be completed and they were about to take off the red cloth of the aerospace plane, Their official person asked the president of X Space Company again.

In fact, if this is the case, this official person has already asked the president of X Aerospace Company many times, but the answer he got was that their company is more than 90% sure about this test flight.

But the words of Mark, the president of X Space Company, made his face full of uneasiness.

"Sir! For this test flight, since it is a subsonic test flight in the atmosphere, I am more than 80% sure of the success of the test flight, but if this test flight is an exaggerated atmosphere flight, say To be honest, I'm less than 50% sure.

But isn't success built on failure? Even if it fails, so what, the big deal is to re-manufacture a plane, it won't take long, after all, when our company was developing the interstellar spacecraft, it failed many times in a row in order to succeed. In the end, we are not yet successful ! "Mark said indifferently.

Regarding Mark's words, the official staff looked confused. At this time, he really had a lot to say in his heart.

You must know that this is not the interstellar spacecraft they developed before, but an aerospace plane. The most important thing is that at this time, the interior of this aerospace plane has their best astronauts in it. If so, what about the astronaut inside the aerospace plane? Even if there are many means of escape, the astronaut may not be able to survive. Most importantly, he has no idea whether these means of escape are useful.

But in the end, the official sighed and said nothing more. After all, Mark, as a capitalist, especially a big capitalist with many assets, he doesn't care about these at all. For him, all of this is okay. Measured in terms of money, all he needs is to prove to the world that his company, that is, X Aerospace, also has the ability to develop aerospace aircraft, and can also develop and manufacture aerospace aircraft engines.

As long as the world knows this, then their company's stock can definitely rise significantly, and their company's market value can naturally rise significantly, which is what he cares most about.

It is also he who clearly knows,

Mark was thinking about something at this time, so he stopped talking. After all, in this country, even if he is an official, he has no power to change these things.

So he can only pray like everyone else that the test flight can be successful.

At this moment, with a flash of flashing lights, he, Mark and others finally pulled off the red cloth of the aerospace plane, and the aerospace plane finally revealed its true appearance to the world.

When the appearance of this aerospace plane was finally shown in front of everyone, many people liked the appearance of this aerospace plane very much.

However, in fact, the appearance of this aerospace plane is indeed very beautiful, and even the appearance of this aerospace plane is very similar to the Valkyrie aircraft they designed decades ago.

At the same time, from the appearance, it can also be clearly seen that the wings of this aerospace plane are also designed with variable wings. It can be seen from this that X Aerospace Company is still very careful about the design of this aerospace plane. However, compared with the Valkyrie, the length and volume of this aerospace plane are even larger, even compared with Tiangong Technology's Phoenix II series of aerospace planes, it is even larger.

After all, according to their design data, the total weight of this aerospace plane is as high as more than 300 tons, and the carrying capacity of this aerospace plane is also very amazing. It can send materials weighing about 40 tons into 1500 km below the track.

If a refueling is carried out in space, there is absolutely no problem in flying to lunar orbit.

The reporters at the scene were naturally very happy about this aerospace plane. Amidst the praises of everyone, this aerospace plane was slowly pulled out of the frame by a tractor and came to their company's Airport runway, ready to take off.

Like Tiangong Technology before, the aerospace plane of their company has to undergo a series of inspections before the test flight, and due to the intelligence inside the aircraft, it cannot be compared with Tiangong Technology, so the inspection time, Naturally it also takes longer.

And because what they use is basically manual inspection, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes. Therefore, in order to ensure that all inspections are in place, before the test flight, they must go through multiple inspections by ground staff and aircraft manufacturing designers. will take off.

It took a full four hours for the inspection of the space plane of X Aerospace Company to finally complete the final inspection. At this time, their space plane was finally ready for its first test flight.

Following the tower's command, the plane's engine finally started to turn.

But when the engine started to rotate, many people present found that the sound of the engine was not right, because the sound of the engine was not like the sound of a detonation pulse variable rocket engine, but rather like the sound of an ordinary plane when it took off. The sound of a turbofan engine.

This makes many people very puzzled, but people in the know are different. They clearly know that it is not the pulse detonation rocket engine that powers the aircraft at this time, but the turbofan used by most aircraft in the atmosphere. engine.

Of course, as a real aerospace plane, what is actually running on this aerospace plane at this time is not a complete turbofan engine, but a variable cycle engine developed by them over the years.

After all, for them, compared with the relatively unfamiliar pulse detonation engine, they are more mature in the field of turbofan engines and have a more thorough grasp of internal technology.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft flying in the atmosphere, when the aerospace plane is flying in the atmosphere, it is powered by a variable cycle engine.
