Chapter 234: UFO?

The control tower was genuinely startled by the take-off and landing speed of the Flying Cube.

After all, the climb rate of ordinary civil aviation airliners, even with the throttle welded to the maximum, barely reaches 100 meters per second.

Only a few active supersonic fighter jets, such as the J-10 and MiG-25, can reach a speed of Mach 0.88.

"What kind of aircraft is this?"

"The climb rate is too fast!"

"A jet-powered model aircraft?"

"Or one of those quadcopter drones?"

The control tower staff discussed animatedly.

They also reported this suddenly captured anomaly to the regional负责人 in charge of the upper-level air traffic control department.

However, this test flight was arranged through 吉祥 Airlines and had obtained formal test flight手续 for aircraft.

After the regional负责人 received the abnormal feedback from the Longwan control tower, he first glanced at the flight data and then at the detailed information of the aircraft submitted in the application.

Initially, this regional负责人 stared at the photo on the test flight material and muttered: "A cube-shaped special-shaped aircraft? Flying so fast, it looks like it should be equipped with a jet engine!"

Such test flight applications are often encountered in the air traffic control departments of various regions.

Either it's a civilian eccentric who builds their own ultra-light helicopter with a triangular terrain vehicle seat and a simple propeller.

Or it's some wealthy enthusiast in the model aircraft圈 who suddenly comes up with the idea of making a jet-powered model aircraft.

In short, they are all doing it to 'fulfill their aviation dream' and incidentally create some gimmick news to get on the local tabloid hot search and gain some fame.

Although the civilian aircraft circle is niche, it still occasionally produces some different ideas in China's base of 1.4 billion people.

However, just as this regional负责人 was still holding a normal attitude and roughly looking at this test flight material.

The key parameter values about the 'Flying Cube' on the material startled him!

"Huh?"

"Size specifications 20 × 20 × 20?"

"The unit of this size is not decimeters, but meters?"

"A 20-meter edge cube aircraft?!"

"Wo… … Cao!"

The regional负责人 took a deep breath and immediately imagined a modern-style detached villa, seven stories high, flying at high speed in the sky at Mach 0.88.

Looking at the load data below, he jumped up from his seat!

"First manned test flight members: 5 people, take-off weight: 17.1 tons."

"This, this, this… … Is this actually a manned test flight?"

"This cube is not a remotely controlled unmanned model aircraft?"

"It's a TMD manned aircraft!"

"Power attribute… … It's actually a pure electric jet propulsion? Oh my god!"

"Is this for real? Are private enterprises so fierce now?"

"Has anyone in China developed a pure electric jet engine?"

The regional负责人 was so shocked by this material that he was speechless for a while, his face full of black question marks.

He stared at the information sent by 吉祥 Airlines for a long time before he suddenly shuddered, picked up a landline phone on the table, and dialed out.

"Hello! Old Zhou? Sorry to bother you in the middle of the night."

"I have information here about an electric jet manned aircraft developed by a private enterprise. Send it to you to take a look at as soon as possible! The control tower of the subordinate prefecture-level city reported that this aircraft is already testing manned flight."

"Which unit made it?"

"It's 吉祥 Airlines! No, it should be renamed 魔方 Aviation now!"

… …

A phone call mobilized most of the air traffic control department and related aircraft research institutions.

After all, according to the submitted materials, this mysterious aircraft is not the popular rotorcraft involving the 'low-altitude economy' that is currently hyped in the capital market.

But a never-before-seen pure electric jet-powered special-shaped aircraft.

In addition, judging from the flight trajectory data intercepted by the air traffic control department, the performance of this aircraft is indeed a bit beyond the speed and climb rate that civilian aircraft should have.

So, under the transmission and rendering of this news.

Soon, a certain air force base in charge of Wenzhou's airspace issued mission instructions to two J-10Cs that were conducting night training over the nearby sea area.

Ordering these two J-10Cs to observe this mysterious aircraft at close range.

As for Chen Jue, after receiving the upward adjustment instruction from air traffic control, he quickly pulled this Flying Cube to a height of 3,000 meters, avoided the take-off and landing routes of civil aviation airliners, and then started his骚操作.

He saw the joystick in his hand sometimes pushing forward and sometimes pulling back.

Allowing the entire Flying Cube to exhibit vector flight postures in the high altitude, sometimes forward and sometimes backward, sometimes left and sometimes right.

The engine jet ports on the nine sides adjusted the power and jet volume non-stop with this抽风 flight posture.

Of course, he dared to play with a Flying Cube prototype that was undergoing testing.

In addition to wanting to collect more flight control data for Wang Han and the others, he was also full of confidence in this Flying Cube, which used a large number of MC materials.

If it were not restricted by the trajectory limits of air traffic control and the ground control tower, he would even dare to pull this thing to outer space in one breath!

Anyway, heat insulation materials were added to the passenger cabin, and a matching pressurization system and oxygen supply equipment were set up.

As long as the airframe can withstand it, it's nothing to go beyond the stratosphere for a circle.

It's just that Chen Jue was having too much fun.

But the pilots on the two fast-approaching J-10Cs were dumbfounded!

"Report to base! According to radar display, the target is doing high-speed irregular flight movements at an altitude of 3,000 meters, like it's doing airframe testing."

"Should we maintain close reconnaissance?" The pilot on the lead aircraft asked in the channel.

"Maintain close approach! Remember to take more clear pictures and send them back." The leader in the base responded.

"Roger!"

Two J-10Cs approached from the left and right, opening afterburners.

Although it was late at night, the weather in the seaside city was good all year round, and there were no large clouds obscuring visibility above the airspace, which was very high.

Under the moonlight and the light of the lighting equipment attached to the two J-10Cs, the mysterious civilian aircraft quickly appeared in the pilots' line of sight at close range.

But the first glance they saw the appearance of this Flying Cube.

The two pilots felt their scalps tingle!

On the square cube-shaped metal exterior, there were several鲜绿色 warning lights, similar to 'safety passage' signs, flashing at the moment.

And on the outer shell of the cube, several faint blue electrical vortices visible to the naked eye were constantly喷射 in all directions.

While spraying, they were adjusting their flight posture.

The speed was so fast that it was not much less than that of the J-10C fighter jet, which had not opened afterburners and entered supersonic cruise!

Such a sci-fi appearance, and the weird vector flight actions, directly made the two pilots who approached for reconnaissance exclaim: "Report to base! The mission target has been found!"

"It's just that the target is too strange, very much like a U… … UFO in the movies!"
