Chapter 120 Caltech, who came to find a place

The main purpose of this dinner is to make these part-time students confident in themselves.

Chen Guo, who understands this very well, mainly uses "hard dishes" when ordering dishes, and the effect is also very good. After such two large tables of meals mainly "hard dishes", and with the addition of everyone being young, the atmosphere became warm after a while...

"Brothers, what are you talking about?" Chen Guo, who was toasting at another table, told everyone that he had good food and drink and asked everyone for help in the future, and asked the two students from the Model Aircraft Association with a smile: "I heard you just mentioned that the model aircraft teams from universities in Militaria will come to our school for exchange next month?"

The Model Aircraft Team of the West Jiaotong University, or the Model Aircraft Association of the West Jiaotong University, is one of the oldest association organizations of the West Jiaotong University, not only that, the Model Aircraft Team of the West Jiaotong University has achieved many honors over the years, especially the international model air competitions at the university level, which have won many championships. For example, their latest honor is that they won the championship of the International Sae International Aviation Design Competition last year.

With such a powerful student organization, Chen Guo is really curious about what they are talking about.

There is nothing to say. Anyway, what they said just now has been heard by the students on the table, so when he heard this, Xu Cong from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics nodded and said, "It's from Caltech."

"California Tech? Are they very good at aerospace technology?" Chen Guo asked curiously.

"It's not very powerful, it's very powerful," said Xu Cong's classmate Tang Yu: "In terms of colleges and universities, MIT, Caltech and Stanford are the top universities in the United States in aerospace technology, and are the kind of universities that strengthen the school."

"I understand," Chen Guo nodded in hearing this time: "So what is their purpose this time? Get back the venue?"

After hearing Chen Guo say this, Tang Yu couldn't help laughing, his face full of pride: "There are reasons for this, after all, we defeated them at last year's Sae International Aviation Design Competition."

"In addition to Caltech, we also defeated MIT, Stanford, Georgia Tech and the University of Michigan," Xu Cong's face also brought a little pride: "This is the third time we have defeated them."

As soon as Tang Yu's words came to an end, everyone was amazed.

You know, that is, MIT, California, Georgia, and Stanford, especially the three "science and engineering" mentioned above, which are recognized as the three top science and technology universities in the United States. However, Xijiao University defeated them in the SAE aviation design competition three times in a row, which shows its strength.

But on the other hand, with the arrogant American heart, it is natural to find the place after being swept away.

"What are you going to deal with it?" Xu Jiangnan from the School of Science asked with concern: "I heard from my friends that those guys from Caltech brought their latest designs to compete with you."

"Yes, our captain is also having a headache now," Xu Cong nodded and admitted calmly: "You can't fail, otherwise it would be more than the face of our model aircraft team."

Everyone nodded: That's not true. Although this competition was just an informal exchange between schools, if the model aircraft team failed in the competition, they would lose face of the entire Xijiaotong University.

Chen Guo couldn't help but interject: "This... I don't know much about what you said, so I just want to say something: I've seen an Airbus A380 model aircraft online before, using a turbojet engine. Can't we just make a turbojet aircraft?"

The flight video of the Airbus A380 model aircraft that Chen Guo saw on a cool website before left a deep impression on him, especially the realistic turbo engine sound made by the model aircraft when it flew up, which made people feel like "that's a real plane flying."

"Ha ha……"

After hearing what Chen Guo said, everyone laughed.

No matter how much he smiles, everyone knows that Chen Guo is a freshman in his first year and doesn’t understand these things. The reason why he made such suggestions was actually kind-hearted, so there is no intention of ridicule in this laughter.

Xu Cong explained to Chen Guo seriously: "It's not impossible to make a turbojet model. But on the one hand, our competition with California Polytechnic focuses more on the 'original design', and we directly take a mature aircraft, such as the Airbus A380, which makes a smaller appearance in a ratio, and then hangs four turbojet engines for model aircraft. This cannot reflect the 'design', and at best it can only be considered a model aircraft; the other is the cost, even if it is a turbojet engine for model aircraft, a 5-kilogram thrust model aircraft engine of a German jetcat costs tens of thousands of yuan."

Chen Guo was shocked: "A turbojet engine for a model aircraft costs tens of thousands of yuan?! So expensive?!"

The model of the Airbus A380 I saw on the video website has 4 models of aircraft that use turbojet engines.

Tang Yu followed the sentence: "This is still the kind of thrust of 35 kilograms. The turbojet engine with thirty or 50 kilograms of thrust is even more than 100,000 yuan. We can't afford it at all. Even if it is a micro turbojet engine produced by domestic model aircraft engine companies, a thrust of about 5 kilograms is still four or five thousand. How can we have that much money..."

Speaking of funding, Tang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"That's how..."

There was a light flashing in Chen Guo's heart. He pondered for a moment and asked Xu Cong and Tang Yu: "Two senior brothers, you must know the American mv-22 and v-280 tilt rotor aircraft, right? If it was a tilt rotor aircraft similar to mv-22 or v-280, which used similar turboprop power, could it defeat California Polytechnic?"

"If it is a tilt rotor, there will definitely be no problem." Tang Yu said without hesitation.

Xu Cong also said: "The tilt rotor aircraft involves the design of the control program and rotation mechanism. I have never heard of the university abroad or domestic that has done this. If we can do it, it will definitely be fine, but the problem is that we have no money."

"What if I am willing to sponsor you two model aircraft engines with turboprop engines?" Chen Guo said: "But you need to handle the flight control and tilt mechanism yourself."
