Look, there is a huge ass flying in the sky, even more sexy than watching the characters in the ass!
If one day your little friend is so shocked to tell you, don't be surprised, this is actually the Airlander airship developed by Hybrid Air Vehicles in the UK, and it is also the largest aircraft in the world.
On Wednesday in the UK, Hybrid Air Vehicles' first product, the Airlander 10, made its first test flight since its launch. After a short 20-minute flight, it successfully landed in the northern suburbs of London.
Behind this test flight is a long-term fundraising and research. Just before the take-off, they also suffered technical problems, which delayed the flight test for three days. Fortunately, this "flying ass" finally completed the task satisfactorily.
What is the secret behind this ass-shaped airship? Why do British people want to make it?
How did this "butt" fly to the sky?Originally part of the US military, the aircraft project was originally designed for reconnaissance and surveillance, but the project ran aground in 2013 as the United States repeatedly reduced its military spending.
However, this project did not die in this way, but the military turned to civilian use instead of letting it take off.
Hybrid Air Vehicles is the promoter of this project. It took over two rounds of financing and received £3.4 million (about 30 million RMB). It was also funded by the European Commission and the British government.
This is neither a normal airship in the strict sense nor an airplane. In fact, this giant 92 meters long and 44 meters wide combines the power design of fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and airships.
First, it refers to the aerodynamic design of the fixed-wing aircraft. The two irregular elliptical crosses will provide the aircraft with a certain aerodynamic lift, which can account for about 40% of the total lift, and the main source of the lift is “ Ass in the ass.
This aircraft is also a typical non-rigid airship with no support structure inside and is completely shaped by 38,000 cubic meters of gas wrapped in carbon fiber fabric.
Helium has a low density, is non-flammable, and is chemically inert, making it ideal for use as an airship filling gas. In the end, the synergy between the two is enough to bring this giant, weighing 20 tons, away from the surface of the earth, and the whole process does not cost a drop of fuel, relying entirely on the power of nature.
In addition, the aircraft is equipped with four turbocharged engines, two of which can be arbitrarily steered for vertical take-off and landing and flight power.
Therefore, the flight is inevitably fuel-supported, but it is already very environmentally friendly compared to the traditional flight method.
In addition to environmental protection, the most amazing feature of this airship is its battery life. It can fly for about 5 days in a manned state and two weeks in the sky when no one is in control.
The area that this airship should be used most is freight. It costs much less than normal air freight, and it can reach a speed of about 150 km/h with a load of 10 tons. And the load capacity is not yet at its limit. The next "flying ass" Airlander 50 developed by the company will have a maximum load of 50 and their ultimate goal is to load 1,000 tons.
Can this "butt" change the aviation industry?Humans don't have a good plane, why do you need this aircraft?
Hybrid Air Vehicles officially describes their ideal aircraft:
Aircraft should be able to take off and land anytime, anywhere.
The aircraft should be able to fly for several weeks.
Flight costs should be as low as possible and minimize pollution.
Indeed, this "flying ass" is designed towards such a goal, but where is its demand and where is the market?
With traditional flight methods, whether it is a helicopter or a fixed-wing aircraft, although the speed is fast, energy consumption and cost issues have always made flight the most extravagant of various modes of transportation.
Airlander, although slow, but with low emissions, low requirements for landing and landing, low cost, long battery life, may create a new way of transportation.
The biggest beneficiary of this invention is the freight industry. Airlander can take off and land anytime, anywhere, abandoning airport restrictions and providing point-to-point shipping services. Moreover, it has low transportation costs and high load capacity, so it will be an excellent substitute for road transport.
Followed by tourism. The cabin underneath the aircraft is about 40 square meters in size, with large windows for passengers to view, and the slower flight speed allows passengers to feel uncomfortable. In the future, in addition to taking a cruise to the sea, it is a good choice for friends to spend a leisurely 5 days on the cloud.
In addition to these, material placement, search and rescue, advertising, patrol monitoring, communications, etc., are all potential applications.
Maybe, this landscape that hangs on the horizon and makes people think about it will bring about a revolution in the transportation industry.
Features
A push button switch is a switch that has a knob that you push to open or close the contacts. In some pushbutton switches, you push the switch once to open the contacts and then push again to close the contacts. In other words, each time you push the switch, the contacts alternate between opened and closed. These types are commonly called latching switches. There are also Non latching push button switches that only maintain the switch contacts when the switch is help in position. Once the switch is let go, the current is broken and the switch turns off. Push switches are usually a simple on-off switch.
