Extreme Flight at an Altitude of 10,000 Meters (For Subscription)
This is the Wing Loong UAV.
It appeared for the first time at the airport in the Northwest Gobi, and the first flight test is about to take place.
At this time, a navigator waved a colored flag to indicate that the droneReady to take off.
The drone moved.
Taxiing on the runway, the speed became faster and faster. After taxiing for hundreds of meters, the nose of the aircraft rose upwards and flew up.
The drone flew into the sky like a light bird.
“The flight altitude is 3000 meters, the speed is 200, the speed is 230, the speed is 260…” The game intelligence is constantly reporting data.
Lin Yang sat in front of the computer and witnessed the whole process of the drone taking off.
Soon, the flying altitude of the drone reached 5,000 meters.
Lin Yang clicked the mouse, and the game interface switched to the drone interface.
Now it’s the drone’s high-altitude perspective.
5000 meters high, overlooking the earth.
It’s like watching an experience on the ground from an airplane, many things become smaller. The field of vision is wide, and the Gobi Desert, which is four to five hundred kilometers away, can be seen below.
At the same time, 1,700 kilometers away from Yutian Airport, in a drone control room at Hongtang Airport, two drone operators sat on a large screen, watching the data transmitted by the drone in real time.
The fact that it can be remotely controlled thousands of miles away shows that the Wing Loong UAV has solved the difficulty of satellite communication technology.
For general civilian drones, the ground control distance can reach up to 60 kilometers.
Military UAVs can reach a control distance of several hundred kilometers according to the battery life. This control distance has actually been blocked by the curvature of the earth. To put it bluntly, it has already flown below the horizon, and the direct control methods are all blocked, so it is no longer directly controllable.
There are two main control methods for military UAVs. One is to use the ground or air relay mode to connect, such as using a ground relay base station, or launching a UAV specially used for relay signals to increase the number of main wireless devices. The flight distance of the man-machine.
The second way is to use satellites as a control channel. In this case, controlling the distance is no longer a problem, and the only thing that can restrict the flight distance of the drone is the battery life.
The Wing Loong UAV uses satellites as a control channel, and there is no limit to the control distance.
That’s why it is possible to set up a ground control station 1,700 kilometers away.
“What is the flying altitude of the drone now?” Zhou Jianyu was speaking, standing behind the two operators.
“The flying altitude is 4,200 meters now, and it is about to enter the cruising altitude of 5,000 meters.” The technician replied.
The two technicians have gone through a week of training… Yes, today is May 25th. After a week, the two technicians are already able to operate drones.
UAVs are easy to operate, many times simpler than fighter planes. Even a civilian can operate UAVs after a period of training.
Some Western media broke the news that most of the drone operators in Lighthouse Country are video game players with only high school education.
Although I don’t know if the news is true or not, it is a fact that the drone is easy to operate.
The operator can sit in the room hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield, and even drink Coke, operating as if playing a game.
This is a major feature of drones, turning warfare into a game.
“Fly to the limit altitude of 9,500 meters.” It was Lin Yang’s voice, which sounded in the control room.
“Yes!”
A technician replied and pulled the operating lever.
The drone climbed up.
The flying altitude soon reached 8,000 meters, 8,500 meters, 9,000 meters… 9,500 meters.
The height has reached the design limit height.
It seems that it can still rise.
“10,000 meters.” Lin Yang’s voice.
The operator received the order and continued to lift the drone.
“Report, the drone is flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters.”
Lin Yang was looking at the drone data sent back by the smart phone.
The data of the drone flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters is also very stable.
The design limit altitude of the Wing Loong UAV is 9,500 meters, and the general flight altitude in combat is 8,000 meters. At this altitude, only medium-range air defense missiles can be used for defense, which is beyond the reach of some countries’ air defense artillery and individual missiles.
Simply put, the flying altitude is too high for ordinary weapons to hit, so the “Pterosaur” has a very high survivability on the battlefield.
The battery life is as long as 60 hours. UAVs stay in the air for a long time regardless of day and night, unlike fighter jets.
The J20’s combat cruise is only 4 hours, and in 4 hours it needs to be refueled in the air, or return to another fighter to take over.
Even if fighter planes increase their endurance time through mid-air refueling, the pilots will be tired.
The drone flew at an altitude of 10,000 for 10 minutes, lowered to 9,500 meters, and continued to fly for another hour.
All performance data are normal.
At a height above 9,000 meters, the human eye cannot see the ground clearly, but electronic instruments can.
The resolution of the optoelectronic equipment of the Wing Loong UAV has reached the centimeter level, and the license plate numbers on the road can be clearly seen.
reached this level of resolution.
In addition, the Wing Loong UAV has another characteristic, which can be said to be unique, and no other UAV can achieve it, and that is intelligence.
It can automatically identify buildings, animals, and people on the road, and display them on the screen.
This is amazing. Lin Yang read it clearly while sitting in front of the computer.
No, the screen shows that the drone captured a herd of Tibetan antelopes, including the number, 1,532.
“This is really powerful…enlarges the perspective of the Tibetan antelope.” Lin Yang said.
The image of the UAV interface is zoomed in, or the UAV camera zooms in on the ground.
Wow……A group of Tibetan antelopes lined up in a one-kilometer-long queue on the ground.
It’s very clear.
As if you were right next to you.
