Chapter 299 Mass Production of Cloud Bus
On July 2028, 7, Feimeng Technology ushered in the first mass-produced trial product to roll off the assembly line, which is a cloud bus.

The carriage of the Yunxiao Bus is similar to the front of a high-speed train. Two pairs of wings protrude from the top of the carriage, and two shaftless ducted engines are installed on each pair of wings.

The whole shape looks a bit like a super enlarged version of a quadcopter drone.

The empty weight of the airframe is 1 ton, it can carry 50 passengers, the maximum take-off weight is 10 tons, and it is equipped with two pilots. is limited to around 2000 metres.

Skybus adopts the method of vertical take-off and landing, and only needs two basketball courts to complete the take-off and landing. This mode of transportation provides a good choice for short- and medium-distance transportation.

There is also a built-in parachute on the car body. When a mechanical failure occurs, the power pack at the bottom of the car can be thrown away, and a safe landing can be achieved by relying on the parachute and bottom airbags. Because the car body is very light, it can maintain a floating state even if it falls into the water.

The product has already been rolled off the assembly line, and the test flight process of the Skybus will be publicly displayed online.

Since this is the first new innovative product of the graphene capacitor battery, it has received great attention from the society. The live broadcast of the first flight will be covered by the official media.

"Hello everyone, audience friends, this is the live broadcast of the Yunxiao bus test flight. The strange-looking aircraft parked behind me is our protagonist today."

"First of all, let me take you into the interior of the aircraft for a tour."

The host came to the interior of the bus with the lens of the camera. The space layout inside is similar to that of an airplane cockpit. The interior space is relatively large, and large luggage can be easily stuffed into the luggage compartment under the seat.

"The seats of the bus are specially made of graphene hydrogen airbags, covered with a layer of leather. They are very light, weighing only [-] kilograms, and an adult can easily take them away."

"This is the flight control room, which is similar to the cockpit of an ordinary airplane. I want to make a special note. This is an emergency rescue button. When the Skybus encounters a dangerous situation in the air, you can open the parachute, lose the power pack, and land safely with the help of the airbags."

"Wait a while during the test flight, we will have an unexpected emergency test, and then everyone will be able to see the entire safe landing process."

The host stepped off the cloud bus, and the staff carried the dummy imitating the real person onto the bus.

"Because the sky bus body is relatively light, if it flies empty, the stability is not good, so it is necessary to use a dummy to increase the weight to make the aircraft more stable."

The host quickly explained that ordinary aircraft would try to reduce the weight as much as possible, but the roller coaster using new materials needs to increase the weight to fly more stably.

Everything was ready, the two pilots walked up the hanging ladder, entered the cockpit, and began to prepare for the first flight.

Through the camera in the cockpit, the audience saw that the pilot turned on a button, the cockpit was connected to electricity, the system started to network, and then began to report the self-inspection. After 5 minutes, the self-inspection was completed and the roller coaster was in good condition.

The four engines began to spin at a low speed, and a gust of wind blew the host's hair into disorder.

"My God, this is just a low-speed test, and it can generate such a strong wind. When it officially takes off, the wind will be even stronger."

"Woooooo..." The engine started to work normally, the wind suddenly increased, and the roller coaster began to lift steadily. After staying in the air for a while, the four shaftless ducted engines began to deflect forward, and the roller coaster slowly Move forward slowly.

As the flight speed gets faster and faster, the four shaftless ducted engines are gradually tilted forward, and the air intakes of the engines are almost completely facing forward.

At this time, the roller coaster was already close to full speed, and the aircraft started a test flight around the test field, and the landing gear was not retracted.

The noise of the four shaftless ducted engines is not loud, they are "humming", just like the noise produced by a large motor at work.

"We observed the interior of the roller coaster through photographic equipment. From the picture, we can see that the noise inside the car is 42 decibels, and the ambient noise is extremely low... This is a coin. The staff just stood on the window sill and can There was almost no vibration."

The shaftless ducted engine used by Yunxiao Bus, because the engine adopts magnetic levitation technology, will not produce mechanical wear and does not have commonly used industrial bearings, so the noise and vibration generated are very small.

The aircraft rotated several times at full speed in the air, and began to enter the low-speed take-off and landing test state. As the speed decreased, the four shaftless ducted engines gradually stood up and returned to the flat state.

The speed of the cloud bus decreased, and it began to pass through the field at a slow speed, approaching the landing area, and the aircraft began to slowly fall vertically until the wheels touched the ground, and the test flight ended perfectly.

"Friends in the audience, the test flight of this cross-generational product has been a complete success, let's interview the test pilot."

"Hello, how do you feel driving this sky bus?"

The moderator handed the microphone to the driver.

"It's very stable, without any abnormalities, the flight control system of the aircraft is well adapted, and this flying bus is very easy to drive."

"Many audience friends would like to ask, what should I do if I suddenly encounter a situation where the crosswind speed is relatively high?"

"In fact, you don't have to worry at all. The flight control attitude system of this aircraft is very mature. The system will automatically adjust the speed and deflection angle of the four engines, etc., and can complete the flight very stably, ensuring everyone's journey safety."

"Next, do you want to continue the test flight?"

"Yes, this time we will experiment. In the event of loss of power, use the emergency safety mode to allow the aircraft to land smoothly."

"Okay, let's wait and see!"

The Skybus took off again, this time flying directly into the 500-meter operating airspace, and then began to simulate the situation where the four engines stopped at the same time.

The aircraft began to slow down slowly, and suddenly the roof above the vehicle body cracked, and two large parachutes flew out, and soon fully opened.

The Skybus began to land slowly, and after a few minutes of descent, it gradually approached the ground. The test pilot saw the timing, made sure that there were no people or houses below, and threw away the power battery pack.

The airbag wrapped on it inflated automatically, and the battery pack landed smoothly without damage.

An airbag also appeared under the car body, which exploded automatically when the car body touched the ground, and cushioned the car body.

The whole experiment went smoothly, and the safety of the roller coaster was demonstrated.

"Friends from the audience, the new type of aircraft, Skybus, has a high safety factor. It can reach many places very conveniently and quickly during daily short-distance travel, which facilitates our travel. I hope this product can be put into use as soon as possible to benefit the public. whole society!"
