Born In England

Chapter 65: Ready for a test flight!

(Thanks to the book friend 20190331194800923 and the mining boss who went bankrupt for the reward of 100 coins!)

Everyone quickly came to the warehouse.

Last night, I also brought over an engine that had been prepared earlier.

"These are all the parts. These are the installation drawings. I'll show you how to install them!" Li Lin handed a large stack of installation drawings to Colin and the others.

"Boss, it turns out that the engine we developed is used to drive this 'airplane'?" Derek said in surprise.

Originally, my boss wanted to build a car or something!

"Yes, it's all your hard work this time, and each person will be rewarded with 500 pounds after everything is done!" Li Lin said generously.

"Boss, we get a lot of salary every month, so let's not use it." Colin postponed.

They are now Li Lin's employees, with a monthly salary of 300 pounds, which is a very high salary!

"It's okay, I can still afford this reward! You know, you are creating miracles!" Li Lin said with a smile.

"Don't say that, boss, in fact, we are just making it according to the design drawings. I think the person who designed the 'airplane' is a genius, and he will definitely be famous in the future!" Colin said with respect.

"Boss, who designed this plane?" The other people asked curiously.

"This is a secret. You will know it in the future. Let's start the installation. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it, or you can talk to me." Li Lindao.

"Yes, boss." When everyone saw Li Lin, they didn't want to say it, and they didn't dare to ask more.

In fact, Li Lin didn't think it was a big problem for them to assemble the aircraft.

First of all, this camel fighter was originally a biplane during the First World War, and there was no too advanced equipment. There's a fuel gauge, speedometer, altitude gauge, and more.

Even the weapon system has not been customized, so it must be much less difficult to install.

But he didn't know if he could fly after it was installed, and whether he could drive well!

In this year's aircraft, the driving is basically hand-operated, the communication is basically relying on roaring, and the navigation is basically relying on the look.

"Maybe the simpler it is, the easier it will be to drive." Li Lin faintly looked forward to it.

First of all, the engine of this camel plane is still very powerful. This engine can increase the power of 130 horsepower.

The greater the power, the easier it is to take off!

In fact, if someone knew that Li Lin was using a 130 spleen horsepower CLerget 9-cylinder rotary engine to drive the centrifuge, they would scold him for being rude!

Of course, a 130-horsepower fighter aircraft during World War II would be a few hundred horses at every turn, and a thousand horses would be a weak chicken.

But during the First World War, it was very top!

Especially in 1891 now!

It is definitely an epoch-making engine for the engine.

Since there are sound parts, there are still two sets of parts, mainly because Li Lin was afraid that some parts would break when they were installed, so he ordered two sets of parts at that time.

Under the installation of seven or eight mechanics, after a week, the general installation was finally completed.

Inside the workshop.

Li Lin looked at the camel fighter. Although it didn't have two machine guns, it still looked pretty good.

"Finally installed!"

Li Lin looked at the cockpit. In addition to a fuel gauge, there was also a speedometer and a gauge that displayed the altitude, which was still relatively 'simple'.

In addition to some start buttons, etc., there are three main operating devices: the accelerator lever, the steering lever and the pedals.

The throttle stick controls the thrust of the aircraft's engine. Push it forward, the power increases, and the aircraft accelerates; pull back, the power decreases, and the aircraft decelerates. The joystick is the steering wheel of the plane in the air. Push it forward and the plane will dive; pull it back and the plane will lift up; push it to the left, and the plane will roll to the left; push it to the right, and the plane will roll to the right. The pedal is the steering wheel of the aircraft on the ground. Push the left foot forward and the aircraft turns to the left; push the right foot forward and the aircraft turns to the right. On the ground, the pedals also have a function. When both feet are pressed down at the same time, the aircraft brakes.

After reading the flight manual, Li Lin felt that it was not very difficult!

Of course, in fact, it is not very difficult to fly such a plane during the First World War. In fact, it is similar to driving an automatic transmission car.

However, the most difficult thing is that rolling, diving, or climbing in the air is a technical job.

After all, at this time, you need to consider the wind direction, wind speed, etc.

In addition, the most difficult thing about flying a plane is landing!

When landing the plane, you need to slow down. You need to find the balance point of the plane. The nose of the plane descends and dives too low, and it directly turns into a matchbox. If the nose is pulled too high, it cannot land successfully.

Not too fast, not too slow!

"Actually, during the test flight of this plane, it was not too difficult to take off, and I didn't do any difficult maneuvers such as rolling, just a test flight, so I only needed to master the technology of landing the plane, and then I could try the test flight!" Li Lin thought. Analyze it.

"Boss, can this iron lump fly?" Li Biao tapped on the fuselage of the plane and asked curiously.

"Whether you can fly or not, will you know if you try it?" Li Lin pouted.

The first test flight of an aircraft is quite dangerous, and no one knows if there will be any problems after flying into the sky!

"Boss~www.readwn.com~ How do you plan to test the flight? After all, if it goes to the sky...but there is a certain degree of danger!" Colin was also worried.

None of them have heard that humans can fly!

Even a kite will fall!

Whoever tries it will almost take his life to try it!

"Well, of course I know this. We need to choose a very good test flight location, and we also need a very sunny and windy weather!" Li Lin said.

"Tomorrow we will go to pick a place and look for it on the coast. After our test flight, we will fly directly to the sea. If there is any accident in the air battle, the test pilot can still jump into the sea, and there is still a certain chance of survival. Test flight at high altitude on land, except for the problem, just wait for the landing to become a box." Li Lin thought for a while.

And he plans to test the flight himself!

If the plane crashed on the sea, he would definitely have a chance of surviving by jumping into the sea. If it were someone else, the chances would be low.

After all, he practiced the fourth level of Qi!

If the plane crashed at a high altitude on land, it is estimated that if you practice Qi at the ninth level, you will be seriously injured!

"The boss's idea is good. If you fly to the sea, you have a better chance of survival." Colin nodded.

The next day, Li Lin and more than 20 people rode their horses and began to search along the Liverpool coastline.

It took a total of three days to find a more suitable location.

It is a small cliff. The height difference from the sea surface is about 50 meters high. The edge of the cliff is about 10 meters away from the sea! There is almost no beach below, just a reef with a width of about ten meters. Even if the plane rushes directly, it can fall into the sea!

Mainly because the place is very open and there is grass!

In this way, it can be built into a huge test flight airport!
