Chapter 903: Returning Home Safely Again (Part 1)
Little Finn was very depressed and did not ask what Guo Tailai was going to make or which engine he wanted. He could only keep his curiosity in his heart and wait for the day when Guo Tailai revealed his answer in the future.
Guo Tailai also devoted himself to the process of carefully learning about plane driving, and his progress was rapid.
The flight coach was so surprised that he couldn't speak. After he took Guo Tailai to do a few maneuvering movements on the trainer plane, Guo Tailai learned his movements only once. He flew well and had no physical discomfort at all. His movements were so accurate that he was a little bit accurate. This was no longer learning, and it felt like copying.
After Guo Tailai personally flew out the perfect maneuvering movement in the trainer plane, Paul was finally stimulated and decided to fly into the sky as soon as possible, and he also became serious in his studies. The two started to study at the same time, and the progress was so much worse, so he was too shameless. In the past, he only studied for more than two hours in the morning, but now he arranged for more than half an afternoon, which caused Guo Tailai to move the nursing work for Mr. Corian and others to the evening.
This also led to Guo Tailai being unable to accompany Lin Jiayi to go shopping at night, but Lin Jiayi seemed to be happy about it. If Guo Tailai didn't go out, there wouldn't be so many messy things, which was great.
Strictly speaking, the maneuverability of MiG 29 is quite excellent. Many maneuverable movements can be done, but sometimes the pilot needs to bear a lot of overload. Guo Tailai's physical condition is completely fine, but he has no trouble. Except for the movements the coach takes him to play, Guo Tailai will not do anything else.
However, Guo Tailai's favorite supersonic flight has tried many times. Although he did not reach the extreme speed of Mach 2.3, he still flew many times in Mach 1.5. He even asked the coach to fly over Mach 2.1 highway, which really made Guo Tailai very intoxicated.
In the past half a month, Guo Tailai has successfully taken off and landed thirty times, an average of at least twice a day, and sometimes three more times. Paul is still in the simulator flight, so his trainer Guo Tailai can also be used. The normal flight hours have exceeded forty hours, and the driving is very smooth.
Mr. Corian and his care had been completed twenty days later, and the results were all very satisfactory. On the night of the care, Mr. Corian left relatively late. When they were only the two of them, Mr. Corian told Guo Tailai about his unfortunate news.
There are a few unfortunate people who lost almost all their wealth because of their misfortune, and even dragged down their subordinates. Everyone was unable to escape some unfortunate fates in the end. Unfortunately, they disappeared from this world, and no one could find their whereabouts. The fate of these unfortunate people is really a pity!
Guo Tailai and Mr. Corian went to a silence for these unfortunate people, and then completely threw these unfortunate people and things behind their heads. Life is still beautiful, and people should look forward, right?
When Guo Tailai's safe and accurate flight hours reached 60 hours, it can basically be declared that Guo Tailai's driving of MiG29 has been completed, and the flight school also issued a flight license to Guo Tailai as if it were decent. This is a legal license. With this, Guo Tailai in the United States can legally drive the civilian MiG29 to fly normally in the open civilian airspace.
At this point, Guo Tailai's flying study came to an end. However, Guo Tailai did not leave the school immediately, but began to enjoy the test ride package specially given to him by Paul.
Guo Tailai did not forget the flight of the two aircraft f14 and f15, and for this, Guo Tailai also specially asked Liang Tang to borrow his Mavericks helmet in "Top Gun" for this moment.
First there was F14, this plane that was about to retire, will definitely take a fewer flights in the future. The coach who took Guo Tailai to fly was also sighing. He was originally very dissatisfied with the old helmet that Guo Tailai was holding, but when he learned that Guo Tailai's old helmet was actually a prop used by Liang Tang in the movie, he also shouted excitedly.
"You also fell in love with F14 because of Qingtang?" The flight coach immediately had a common language with Guo Tailai. When the movie "topgun" was released, it directly triggered countless American youths who joined the army and wanted to open F14, and the coach was one of them.
So Guo Tailai was given preferential treatment when flying on F14. Knowing that Guo Tailai likes supersonics, the flight coach took Guo Tailai to fly twice with the extreme speed and also played once at the airport to pass the field at a low altitude. While he kept screaming, it also caused Guo Tailai to scream in response and was very excited.
The f14 can be said to be the peak of the carrier-based aircraft that combined materials and flight technology in that era. It was the strongest among the third generation aircraft. Unfortunately, the powerful Soviet Union fell, the f14 would have no place to use it and would soon be retired in dismay. For Guo Tailai, a processing maniac, this aircraft was what he was most interested in.
"Paul, you said if I made a F14 myself, would I be hunted by the whole world by CIA?" After getting enough fun, Guo Tailai asked this question with great emotion when he was having lunch with Paul at noon.
"I don't know, maybe!" Paul shook his head directly: "Although I don't know how high the R&D cost is, I know very well how high the R&D cost of an aircraft is.g. Even if you can afford it alone for the time being, there are not enough R&D personnel to work for you."
The R&D expenses of F14 were actually not high in that era, only more than 1.2 billion US dollars, but that was 1.2 billion US dollars in 1972. Now, in addition to inflation, various increases such as artificial materials must be added, and the overall increase will never be less than 5 billion US dollars. This also requires the research and development of various pre-technology, and aircraft engines may also require at least half of the figures.
As for the technicians, Paul actually doesn't think he is despising Guo Tailai. He is just telling a fact. If he can create it, the power of China is not as powerful as Guo Tailai? Didn't it be created?
"Okay, I'd better consider my supersonic passenger plane!" Guo Tailai heard this and wilted like an eggplant hit by frost: "If you don't sell it, I'll play it myself."
"I will place an order after the research and development is successful." Paul smiled and gave Guo Tai a little comfort, and then continued to work hard to eat.
The f15 is the backbone of the future US military combat aircraft, and Guo Tailai also took the test flight. But this aircraft is mainly due to test flights and understanding, and its interest is not as big as the F14 and so enthusiastic. Of course, it is inevitable to enjoy supersonic speed. The f15 with the secondary fuel tank has been taking Guo Tailai to the point where it is almost out of fuel before landing at the airport.
"Paul, learn slowly. I'm going to go to a few flight manufacturing companies to inspect." During dinner, Guo Tailai, who had completed all the learning and enjoyment tasks, said goodbye to Paul: "I will set out tomorrow. After the inspection, I will return directly from Europe. If you have any questions, please contact me in China."
