Chapter 536: Take off to the sky! Big manor!
Fortunately, Liudong has already built a take-off runway and a hangar.
So now when the gyroplane comes over, it will be directly placed there. Tang Yichen took a car and went directly to Chuzhou Airport.
At the Liudong Helicopter Company, although there is a runway and hangar for the aircraft to take off, the road to get in has not been repaired yet. In other words, it is basically impossible for a large truck to transport these things in now.
So, there is only one way to get in.
Fly in.
If you want to take off, you certainly can't just take off from anywhere.
You have to go to the airport and apply for a runway and route before you can take off.
Of course, these are not big problems.
At around 3:00 p.m., witnessed by Tang Yichen, a three-wheeled motorcycle with its propeller removed was unloaded from a truck at the airport.
"Huh? What's that thing? How did it get onto the runway?"
"What the hell? It looks like a plane, but why is it so small? Also, why is it on three wheels? Can this thing fly?"
"I'm afraid this is a toy!"
The airport doesn't belong to Old Tang's family. Now that Tang Yichen wants to use it, he just has to apply for some time to use the runway.
There are other passengers at the airport right now, some are on other passenger planes, and some are inside the terminal.
But no matter who it is, seeing the three-wheeled motorcycle on the runway at this time, they all feel a little messy.
This is the first rotorcraft in China. No one has ever seen this thing before, and even now few people know about it.
Looking at this simple, small thing, not only does it have three wheels, but it's also convertible, it would be strange if people didn't talk about it.
Of course, Tang Yichen could guess the reactions of other people at the airport, but he didn't care.
Tang Yichen raised his hand and waved to the people on the runway, then watched the gyroplane take off.
To be honest, Tang Yichen really wanted to ride this thing to Liudong.
But when the plane was actually assembled and he looked at this three-wheeled motorcycle that didn't even have a lid, Tang Yichen found that he had overestimated his courage.
Even though I know this thing is safe, looking at this simple thing, I think about flying it hundreds or thousands of meters into the sky.
Tang Yichen was frightened.
So, just forget it.
I'll have to wait and study it later. At least I have to research a lid to relieve people's psychological pressure!
It’s not like now, where you sit inside and are tied up with a seat belt, giving you the illusion that you could fall off at any time.
too frightening.
"I've been on it before. Although I was nervous when I first got on, the rest of the ride was pretty good!"
At the rotorcraft company, Tang Yichen and Lin Wei drove over. In the sky, the rotorcraft was still circling.
It did not land here directly, but waited for Tang Yichen and Lin Wei to come over before starting to demonstrate the landing of the rotorcraft.
Now, watch the gyroplane slow down and lose altitude.
Tang Yichen didn't discuss the feeling of sitting on something with Lin Wei. Instead, he said, "In future research and development, we'll try to develop it to be able to take off and land in situ. That way, it won't need a runway, making it more convenient for home use!"
“Well, this itself is the current research direction of all rotorcraft companies.
In fact, companies in the rotorcraft field have theories on this point and have also entered into research, and even have successful precedents.
That is, during takeoff, the propeller is connected to the engine, so that it can generate power on the spot to increase altitude.
After liftoff, the propellers are then engaged.”
Having said that, Lin Wei paused before looking at Tang Yichen and speaking again: "However, in this case, the operation is complicated, the structure is also complicated, which actually reduces safety.
Therefore, the mainstream aircraft abroad is still this type of aircraft with a runway."
"Well, I know that, but let's do our best to research. Aren't time and science magical? I also hope that in the field of rotorcraft, time and science can be perfectly combined to create new products.
Yes, without compromising safety and reliability!"
In fact, vertical take-off and landing is nothing new.
Helicopters have always taken off and landed vertically. Although this thing is not a helicopter, its appearance gives people the first impression of a simple, smaller version of a helicopter.
With propellers, it is theoretically not difficult to achieve vertical take-off and landing.
The only difficulty is to ensure its existing safety and reliability. What is the biggest advantage of the rotorcraft?
Safety!
Even if you lose power, you won't die from falling.
If we ignore this biggest advantage, why bother with gyroplanes? Wouldn't it be better to just use helicopters?
Of course, cheapness is also a key point for this thing.
But compared with cheapness, life is obviously more important.
Soon, the gyroplane landed.
The pilot was a blond, blue-eyed foreign man.
These are the pilots whose contracts were renewed by British Airways after the company was acquired.
Tang Yichen circled the gyroplane twice and then sat on it for a while.
Of course, it didn't take off.
At present, Tang Yichen still has some psychological barriers to riding this thing.
The fourteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the eighteenth day of the Gregorian calendar.
The day before the Lantern Festival, good news finally came from Tang Xionghua.
After several days of investigation, the authenticity of Mr. Li's situation was confirmed.
Today, he went to meet Mr. Li Ke.
As expected, the old man immediately agreed to Tang Xionghua's invitation.
On TV, it is said that the more capable an old person is, the weirder his temper and personality are.
But that's TV.
In reality, there may indeed be such people, but this old Chinese doctor is definitely not one of them.
According to Tang Xionghua, Mr. Li Ke is very kind, just like the old man next door.
Although he was surprised by Tang Xionghua's visit, after Tang Xionghua made an invitation and explained the conditions, the old man asked a few more questions and discussed some details with Tang Xionghua.
For example, he wanted to take his current apprentice with him.
For example, I will definitely have to come to Guangzhou for a few days every month in the future. The classic ward and the heritage base here cannot be lost!
Tang Xionghua naturally agreed to all these conditions.
Afterwards, the old man agreed directly without even asking about the personal salary package that Tang Xionghua offered him.
According to Tang Xionghua, this is definitely an old Chinese medicine doctor worthy of respect.
"I won't be back tomorrow. Do you want to go home for the Lantern Festival?"
"Okay! I'll be back soon!"
Tang Yichen was not too surprised that his father would not be able to come back tomorrow. As for going home to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Tang Yichen did not refuse.
Now, only my grandparents are left in my hometown, so it makes sense for me to go back and spend the Lantern Festival with them.
It’s not very far anyway.
The journey was uneventful. Although there were traffic jams on the roads these days, they were just cattle, sheep, and tractors blocking the road, and the traffic would be cleared quickly.
Tang Yichen set out in the morning. It was just past eleven o'clock and he could already see the village entrance in front of him.
Even Tang Yichen saw his new home.
The construction of the new home has been going on for more than half a year. So far, the main structure of the villa has been almost completed. The next step is the layout and decoration of the villa.
I don’t know if I can finish it this year.
Looking at the new home of the old Tang family at the head of the village, Tang Yichen felt complicated for a moment.
In my previous life, I could never have dreamed of living in such a big manor!
