Joining Sichuan Airlines starts with rescuing the captain of a powerful country

Chapter 85 If you encounter the 'Clear Sky Torrent' again, you will have one foot in the door of hell.
  How fast can the 'Concorde' airliner fly? !

The designed maximum speed can even reach Mach 2.

That's twice the speed of sound.

It is much faster than the maximum theoretical speed of many third-generation fighter jets.

But still the same sentence.

When the 'Concorde' airliner pursues ultimate speed, it will inevitably sacrifice many other things.

Such as comfort and safety.

Comfort and safety are the two things that passengers care about most.

Taking a plane is like going to hell.

Who dares to sit down again in the future? !
  Therefore, after the "Concorde" passenger aircraft was put into the market, many safety accidents occurred one after another, so it was grounded and retired in 2003.

As for the 'Tu-144', it is even worse than the 'Concorde'.

The 'Tu-144' passenger aircraft is actually a political product rather than a high-tech product.

This passenger aircraft was developed and produced by the Tupolev Design Bureau of the former Soviet Union.

Its research and development background is because the Western camp - Britain and France jointly developed the 'Concorde' passenger aircraft. In order to lose to the Western camp in the civil aviation passenger aircraft racing competition, the top leaders of the former Soviet Union directly issued an administrative order and asked Tupolev to design it. The Bureau developed the 'Tu-144' supersonic passenger aircraft.

The top leaders of the former Soviet Union had no other demands.

It only requires that the 'Tu-144' supersonic passenger plane be faster than the 'Concorde' passenger plane.

Therefore, the designed maximum speed of the 'Tu-144' passenger aircraft even reached Mach 2.35, breaking the record set by the 'Concorde' passenger aircraft as the fastest civil aviation passenger aircraft.

Ah!
  This is indeed something a tough old man can do.

But the 'Tu-144' is faster than the 'Concorde', and it is also faster than the 'Concorde'.

Because all Lao Maozi's stuff is like a bird - simple and crude.

Therefore, while pursuing supersonic speed, 'Tu-144' is bound to make greater concessions to safety.

Much more radical than 'Concorde'.

In other words, the Tu-144 is not a supersonic civil aviation aircraft, but it is clearly a time bomb that may be detonated at any time.

Due to reasons such as poorer safety and comfort, the 'Tu-144' was grounded and discontinued as early as the 20s, years earlier than the 'Concorde'.

The 21st century is a fast-paced era.

All walks of life have also put forward slogans such as 'efficiency first' early on.

But even so, civil aviation passengers are currently the fastest public transportation.

And if we want to ensure 'efficiency first', we also have to mention 'safety first'.

How dare you sacrifice security to ensure fast pace? !

Therefore, civil aviation airliners are not simply flying as fast as possible, but must also take into account safety, comfort, economy, etc.

For example, the design concept of the domestically produced large aircraft C919 is based on safety and comfort first, and efficiency and convenience second.

Because of the lessons learned from the 'Tu-144' and the 'Concorde'.

c919 will not make the same mistakes again.

same.

The A320 passenger aircraft is the most classic short- and medium-range single-aisle passenger aircraft developed by Airbus. Since it was delivered for use in 1988, it has been tested by the market for many years.

Therefore, Lu Qingzhou also has full confidence in the performance of this passenger aircraft.

This is one of the reasons why he dared to fly manually and soar the speed of the aircraft to 1000km/h.

another reason.

Of course, I have 100% trust in my driving skills.

7 minute later.

Flight 3u7758 has left the airspace of Guizhou Province and entered Guangdong Province from the northeast of Guizhou Province.

However, less than a minute after the plane entered Guangdong Province, the plane suddenly became a little bumpy.

Lu Qingzhou immediately said, "Retract the spoilers, raise the flaps by 5 degrees, and the negative lift of the tail is 20."

The tail can generate upward or downward force.

The upward force can make the nose of the aircraft lower, and the downward force can make the nose of the aircraft rise.

It can also be said that the upward force of the tail is positive lift, and the downward force is negative lift.

"Received." Liang Dong immediately made adjustments.

He is a very excellent co-pilot, and his driving skills and experience are not much worse than those of an average captain.

Lu Qingzhou's left hand held the operating lever, and his right hand held the throttle valve lever.

Therefore, Liang Dong needs to assist in completing other steps. A few seconds later.

Liang Dong's adjustment has been completed.

The plane once again returned to steady state.

"How much fuel does our plane have left now?!" Lu Qingzhou glanced at the navigator and found that the flight was now less than 200 kilometers away from Yangcheng.

Liang Dong quickly replied, "There are more than 4 tons left."

"Why is there so much oil left?!" Lu Qingzhou frowned.

But he immediately figured out the reason.

Because when the plane was at Xinzhou Airport, the plane's fuel tank was filled with fuel.

This is because under normal circumstances, when a flight successfully arrives in the Yangcheng airspace, it also needs to wait in line to enter the port.

But airplanes don't hover in mid-air like cars.

Instead, you need to keep flying around and wait.

The process of flying around also consumes fuel.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, before a flight takes off, the passenger plane will be filled with extra aviation kerosene to prepare for emergencies.

But that's normal.

Now this part of aviation kerosene has become a burden.

If it lands at the current weight, it will inevitably cause the passenger plane to land overweight.

This has certain safety risks.

But Lu Qingzhou had no other choice.

Unlike yesterday's Airbus A319, Sichuan Airlines did not choose to install a fuel drain system when purchasing this Airbus A320.

Passenger planes are now overweight.

Lu Qingzhou could either go in circles to consume fuel, or bite the bullet and land forcefully.

But now time is life.

How could Lu Qingzhou still have time to drive in circles to consume fuel? !

I can only bite the bullet and force the ground.

The good news is.

The overweight of the passenger plane is not too serious and is still within control.

The weather in Guangdong Province is good.

Through the windshield, you can even see the bright starry sky as far as the eye can see if you raise your head slightly.

However, the few people in the cockpit were not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the moment.

Especially Lu Qingzhou.

At the moment, all my focus is on flying the plane.

As long as he finds that the aircraft's flight attitude is damaged and it falls into turbulence, he will immediately make corresponding adjustments.

Sometimes there isn't even any movement from the plane.

Lu Qingzhou has already issued new instructions.

After the plane got into turbulence, he had already made corresponding countermeasures.

Just like a fortune teller who can predict the future.

It has been 5 years since I joined Sichuan Airlines and I was promoted to captain for more than a year.

This is the first time Lu Qingzhou has been so cautious.

There is no way around this.

After all, the speed of airplanes is too fast now, and the slightest disturbance may cause fatal safety accidents.

not to mention.

Lu Qingzhou also needs to be alert to chaotic rapids at all times.

Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because the plane is 10,000 meters above the ground.

Yesterday, I got caught in the 'clear sky torrent' without any warning.

Nowadays, the plane is so fast that even the slightest improper operation may cause the plane to stall.

If we encounter the 'clear sky torrent' again, it will not only make things worse, but also step into the gate of hell.
