Chapter 278 The first flight of the Veyron heavy armed helicopter

The Dragon prototype was towed to a designated location on the apron, and several Tianlong transport helicopters were neatly parked in the distance.

Under the leadership of Lin Feng, the group of you came to the side of this Veyron. It can be seen that many people are very excited!

"A world-leading heavy-duty armed helicopter!"

"Everything is like a dream!"

"How much we envied others to have advanced armed helicopters, and now we also have them, and they are more advanced than theirs!"

"There is still a prototype flying for the first time today!"

"..."

Everyone walked in front of the Veyron prototype, and soon, it was surrounded by people, especially those from the military, all of them had happy eyes!
The dream finally came true!

We have the world's top level heavy gunships!

Lin Feng said loudly, "You can't take pictures, you can't take pictures together, give everyone half an hour!"

Many people laughed happily, and it seemed that even the air was full of joy.

You can't take pictures or take group photos. Everyone can understand this. It needs to be kept secret, but why is there only half an hour of visiting time.

Someone said loudly, "Boss Lin, why is it only half an hour!"

"Yeah, half an hour is not enough, we have to take a good look at this Veyron, at least an hour!"

Lin Feng smiled happily, "Then meet your request, give it one hour, then we'll leave and come back in the afternoon!"

There were bursts of happy laughter at the scene, "Boss Lin is mighty!"

"Haha, really give us an hour, that's great!"

"I want to take a good look, there are not many good opportunities like this!"

"I don't know if I can sit in the cockpit, but it would be great if I could go in and experience it, even for a minute!"

"..."

There were people all around the helicopter, and the whole scene was very lively. Many people from Leihuo Helicopter Company rushed over after hearing the news, and there were more and more people on the scene.

Xie Kangquan looked around this Veyron prototype and became more and more satisfied. He said more than once in his heart that it is at the top level in the world, and its performance far exceeds any other armed helicopter!

After looking around a few times, he was not satisfied with taking a look outside the helicopter, but said, "Mr. Lin, can I sit in and have a look, and experience it by the way?"

Many people pricked up their ears, they were waiting for Lin Feng's answer, if they could go in, besides Xie Kangquan, they should also have a chance.

How do you know, a surprise is coming!
Lin Feng said cheerfully, "Yes, I will open the hatch for you."

Xie Kangquan rubbed his hands excitedly, and happily sat on the front seat in the cockpit, taking a look here and there.

This feeling is completely different from visiting outside. He once sat in the cockpit of a new domestically-made armed helicopter. Obviously, the cockpit of the Veyron is very different from that armed helicopter.

In addition to appearing more upscale and advanced, the text on the instruments and buttons are all in Chinese, not English.

A senior colonel next to him also showed interest, "Boss Lin, can I go up and sit down?"

Lin Feng was still very straightforward, and he agreed immediately, "Yes, I will open the hatch for you."

Under everyone's envious eyes, the colonel sat in the second seat of the helicopter, and he and Xie Kangquan stood in front of each other.

"Director Xie, let us come up and sit down."

"Take turns, those who want to come up line up!"

"At most 2 minutes per person, not too long!"

"..."

There were really many people queuing up, and it was such a good opportunity not to pass up, even if it was only for a minute or two.

Soon, Xie Kangquan got off the helicopter and said loudly, "It feels really good, especially the perfect combination of design and ergonomics. It is very comfortable to sit on and it is very convenient to get on and off the helicopter."

This is rare. The space of armed helicopters is generally limited. Most of the armed helicopters are a bit inconvenient to go up and down, and it is even more exaggerated that they need to climb in or drill in.

It does not exist here. As Xie Kangquan said, ergonomics is fully paid attention to. Not only is it convenient to get on and off the helicopter, but it is also very comfortable to sit in the cockpit.

There was a long queue next to the Veyron prototype, and everyone went up one by one to sit and experience it. Originally, it was 2 minutes per person, but there were too many people in the queue, and the time was reduced to 1 minute. Reduced to half a minute.

It was originally agreed to visit for an hour, but after an hour and more than ten minutes, there were still many people who were reluctant to leave. After repeated urging by Lin Feng and others, everyone left here.

The surrounding area of ​​the Veyron prototype was quiet, the visitors were all gone, and the staff was busy.

For example, technical and quality personnel inspected the prototype of the Veyron before its first flight. For example, someone began to fill the prototype of the Veyron with fuel, and someone else installed ammunition and missiles on it.

Since it is an armed helicopter, it must have weapons and ammunition. Even if it is the first flight on the field, it must be filled with basic weapons and ammunition.

Among the busy people next to the Veyron prototype, some are from the army, and together they add weapons and ammunition to the helicopter.

"It's the first time I've seen such a situation, and it can actually hold so many weapons and ammunition!"

"Yeah, at least two or three tons!"

"..."

The people in the army were astonished. They knew a lot about various armed helicopters. Generally, the armed helicopters carried about one ton of ammunition, and some even had less than one ton of ammunition.

This gunship can actually hold two or three tons of ammunition!

How do you know, a technician from Leihuo Technology Industrial Group proudly said loudly, "To be precise, our Veyron heavy-duty gunship can hold up to [-] tons of ammunition at one time."

what!
Those people in the military stopped collectively, as if time was frozen at this moment! ! !
boom! ! !
After they reacted, the whole scene became lively. You said something, and I said something, showing a strong sense of pride.

"Niu Pi, this is the real heavy gunship!"

"This is not a helicopter, it is simply a flying weapon and ammunition depot!"

"It's so brutal, it can carry so many weapons and ammunition at one time, the enemy will probably be beaten to tears!"

"In addition to carrying a large amount of ammunition at one time, its armor is also very thick. It is estimated that heavy machine guns cannot pose a threat to it!"

"..."

The scene was lively and everyone was full of enthusiasm. In addition to conducting a series of inspections before the first flight of the Veyron prototype, they also loaded it with weapons and ammunition, fueled it, and so on.

In the afternoon, it will make its first flight!

In Thunderfire Helicopter's composite material parts manufacturing workshop, several team leaders are conveying the latest notice to their team members.

"At 02:30 this afternoon, Veyron's first prototype took off for the first time. If you don't have anything particularly important, you can go and watch the first flight!"

what!
And such a good thing! ! !
The first flight of the Veyron is something that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time, so you must go and see it, not to mention the company encourages everyone to visit it.

"Great, I'll definitely go there this afternoon!"

"No matter how important things are, there is nothing more important than watching the first flight of the Veyron!"

"We are close to the water, and we will get the moon first, and we will be at the heliport within a few steps!"

"It would be great if I could take pictures. I'll get my seagull camera when I get home at noon!"

"..."

As soon as the news came out, not only the major workshops of Leihuo Helicopter Company, but also all departments were basically in the same situation. Most people were ready to put down their work and take a good look.

The Leihuo Helicopter Design Institute is similar, and most people will probably go there. The Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter is designed by them. Seeing their design results fly into the sky is what every designer is eagerly looking forward to.

Around two in the afternoon.

There were already quite a few people at the airport, not two or three thousand, but at least one thousand or several hundred. In addition to people from Leihuo Technology and Industry Group, there were also people from the military and some reporters.

A total of two media were able to go to the scene to film and interview, one of which was the Imperial TV Station, and the other was the Provincial TV Station.

All other media declined, and confidentiality is still required. Not all media can conduct interviews.

Veyron heavy gunship is ready to take off!
Pilot ready!
Interestingly, there is a familiar face among the two test pilots, that is first-class pilot Zhu Guangzu.

Not only can he fly ordinary helicopters, but he can also fly armed helicopters, and he also has very rich flying experience in this regard.

As early as a week ago, he and his partner had arrived at Thunderfire Helicopters and participated in training with a dozen other pilots.

Familiar with the Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter and its related operations, at this moment, the flight test expert from Leihuo Helicopter Design Institute is having a final exchange with Zhu Guangzu.

Zhu Guangzu had already kept the whole test flight process in mind, but he still listened carefully to the instructions before the test flight with an open-minded expression.

"Expert Liu, don't worry, we will have no problems, and everything will be strictly operated in accordance with the flight test manual."

"Well, congratulations on our successful first flight!"

Zhu Guangzu shook hands with Expert Liu and others tightly, and then opened the hatch and sat in the cockpit. Everything was so familiar. After a week of operation training, he knew the operation of this armed helicopter by heart.

His partner also sat in the cockpit, and the two of them, one in front of the other, made preparations before taking off, and did various inspections as required by the flight test manual.

"Old Zhu, the operation interface and buttons are all in Chinese, which is easy to understand and much easier than English."

Zhu Guangzu said, "Well, although the operation is not complicated, we can't take it lightly, and we can't make any mistakes."

"I know this!"

The two communicated while preparing for the test flight.

"Old Zhu, how about the maneuverability of this heavy-duty armed helicopter? It shouldn't be worse than the Tianlong transport helicopter."

They all flew Tianlong transport helicopters, especially Zhu Guangzu participated in almost most of Tianlong's field test flight verification.

"I think its flight performance should be higher than that of the Tianlong transport helicopter."

"I hope so too," said his partner. "If it has excellent flight performance and murderous firepower, it will be cool!"

Zhu Guangzu said, "Its ammunition capacity has reached several tons, and its firepower must be fierce. It's a pity that we can't try its firepower today!"

The two of them were preparing for the first flight. As the time passed minute by minute, more and more people from the entire airport came to watch the first flight.

Several buses drove into the airport, and a lot of people got off the bus, all of them were wearing overalls. They came from Phoenix City, and they came to watch the first flight of Veyron!
Lin Feng, Xie Kangquan and others also came over and sat down in the viewing area. In the distance is the Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter that is about to undergo its first flight verification on the field!
At 02:30 in the afternoon, Zhao Mingzhi came over in person and reported loudly, "Boss, the Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter is ready for its first flight!"

Lin Feng looked at the prototype Veyron that was on standby in the distance, and said loudly, "Start the first flight!"

Through the radio, Zhu Guangzu received the first flight order and started to start the helicopter.

The engine starts, the two LH2000 turboshaft engines start to work, and the rotor of the helicopter starts to spin.

This is a coaxial inversion design, no tail rotor, the helicopter starts up, the rotor spins faster and faster, and then starts to leave the ground.

"Flying!"

"Coaxial inversion, really beautiful!"

"Flying higher and higher!"

"..."

Nearly two thousand pairs of eyes closely followed the helicopter. In everyone's eyes, the helicopter flew higher and higher.

After flying to a certain height, it first flew around the field, centered on the airport, flew a total of three laps, and then began to fly sideways.

"That's flying sideways!"

"It's flying so beautifully, look, it's starting to fly backwards!!!"

"It's so handsome, it can't be seen that it is a heavy-duty armed helicopter. Its flexibility and maneuverability are amazing!"

"..."

Amidst everyone's cheers and bursts of applause, the Veyron prototype completed many flight tests.

Such as level flight, ascending, descending, turning, circling, accelerating, decelerating.
Over the airport, this Veyron prototype completed a series of flight tests, sometimes at a height of only a few hundred meters, thus attracting the attention of many people around.

"Have you noticed that helicopter, it seems to be playing various actions!"

"That should be the Tianlong transport helicopter."

"I don't look like a Tianlong, but an armed helicopter."

"Could it be that Leihuo Technology Industry Group has created a new helicopter again!"

"."

Liu Aichao is a military equipment enthusiast, especially obsessed with all kinds of military helicopters in the world. For this reason, he even changed his job, and he works in a company not far from Leihuo Helicopter Company.

Why did you choose this place? The purpose is to take a look at the helicopters here. Not to mention, you can always see helicopters taking off from here within one or two months.

He also specially bought a telescope so that he could take a long-distance look at the Tianlong transport helicopter parked on the airport apron.

As early as an hour ago, he had noticed the situation at the airport. There was this helicopter parked there alone. It seemed that it was not a Tianlong, but more like an armed helicopter.

Could it be the Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter of Leihuo Technology Industry Group!

After guessing this, he became eager, not thinking about going to work, and ran to the roof of the tallest building in their unit with a telescope.

To his great surprise, there were at least 20 to [-] people on the roof, and several of them had prepared binoculars like him and were looking at the helicopter in the distance.

"That looks like a gunship!"

"Maybe it's a Veyron gunship, it looks like it's about to make its first flight!"

"Look, look, it's flying!"

"."

This Veyron flies over the airport, sometimes it is relatively close to here, sometimes it is far away, because it is centered on the airport, and the test flight is carried out within a radius of one or two kilometers.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Wow, the height is estimated to be only three or four hundred meters, and I can see it more clearly now!"

"The Veyron heavy-duty armed helicopter is undoubtedly!"

"."

When the helicopter flew over from a distance and was relatively close to the building, the people on the roof burst into cheers, and the people with binoculars even chased the Veyron closely until it was far away. .

Seeing this Veyron at close range just now, Liu Aichao trembled a little excitedly, until the Veyron was far away, and he couldn't see clearly even with binoculars, so he put down the binoculars and looked away.

The world's top-level heavy-duty armed helicopter has actually started its first flight!

Leihuo Science and Technology Industrial Group is awesome, I only heard about a year ago that Leihuo Science and Technology Industrial Group is designing and developing heavy-duty armed helicopters. How long has it been, and it has actually started its first flight.

Too bad!
From this moment on, Liu Aichao found himself deeply in love with this armed helicopter and became a fan of it. He just wanted to understand it more deeply. The scene he saw through the telescope just now was deeply imprinted on him. in the mind.

Heliport.

The location here is good and the field of vision is wide. No matter how the Veyron flies, everyone can see it clearly. Of course, if you have a telescope, you can see its situation clearly all the time.

The first flight took about 10, [-] and [-] minutes. During this time, it completed a series of actions. In everyone's eyes, it flew towards the airport and then landed at the designated location.

Now there was another round of applause.

Lin Feng, Xie Kangquan and the others walked quickly towards the helicopter. Seeing this, other people followed suit. After a while, the helicopter was surrounded by people.

Zhu Guangzu and his partner got off the helicopter, and he said with great satisfaction, "Boss Lin, this plane is really comfortable to fly, and the maneuverability is too strong, especially it is full of power. It feels like it can fly out of any movement."

Lin Feng smiled proudly. It was powered by two LH2000 turboshaft engines, each with an output power exceeding 2000 kilowatts.

"It feels good."

"It's simply top-notch." Zhu Guangzu didn't hesitate to praise, "In terms of maneuverability and operability, I think it's even better than Tianlong."

That's high praise!
Tianlong's mobility is very good, and Veyron is even better than it!
