Relying on the positioning system as the only navigation guidance, the modified 737 began to slide out strictly according to the predetermined route the moment it started the engine. The positioning point of the navigation module was in the center and forward of the aircraft. Therefore, the center line of the aircraft , has been consistent with the center line of the connection line. When the plane started to slide, all the lights in the airport went out in an instant. Even the lights on the nose of the plane were turned off by Zhang Wenhao. The lights in the cockpit were brightly lit, and it was dark outside, which caused everyone to Looking out from inside the plane, you can only see yourself. Other than that, everything outside is shrouded in darkness and cannot be identified.
If it is in this kind of visibility, not to mention civilian aircraft, even military aircraft will be completely unable to take off, because now the pilot's visual distance is equal to zero, and they have no way of knowing anything outside, and they can't even find the location of the runway. Where, however, with the assistance of the Dongchen positioning system, the aircraft has an extremely clear view of the set route. Even if there is no visibility outside, the position and speed of the aircraft at this moment can be determined through the image simulated on the large screen of the positioning system. , extremely clear!
On the screen, the airport runway is displayed in the form of a plan view, and the aircraft itself is not a simple positioning highlight, but is represented by a year-on-year reduced simulation of a 737, simulating every move of the aircraft at this time, and Because it is reduced year-on-year, it is almost equivalent to a real-time thumbnail.
A crowd of people crowded around to watch the display screen of the positioning system. Officer Liu said, "Will we enter the runway at the next bend?"
Zhang Wenhao nodded and said: "When entering the runway, the aircraft will start to accelerate at the center line. When it reaches the speed of raising the front wheel, it will automatically adjust the flaps to take off."
An expert next to him said with some concern: "Once the aircraft does not really find the runway, or is slightly deviated by a few degrees, it starts to accelerate without being aligned with the runway. Once it overshoots the runway, we are finished. In addition, once it reaches the decision speed, if the aircraft's If there is a slight deviation in the direction or the plane does not take off automatically, then we people will be in danger."
Zhang Wenhao said calmly: "Since Dongchen is preparing to launch this technology, it must be a mature technology. Moreover, you also know that Dongchen has begun to acquire Airbus. Do you think that if Dongchen does not have a few killers? With high-end technology, will they go through all the trouble to acquire Airbus?¡±
As soon as Zhang Wenhao said this, everyone woke up. Yes, Dongchen had already been planning to acquire Airbus, and without leading core technology, they would not have set their sights on this industry at all.
At the same time, everyone on the plane clearly felt that the plane began to turn.
Zhang Wenhao said: "Everyone, please go back to your seats. There is a real-time video in the cabin, and you can see everything in the cockpit."
When everyone heard this, they hurried back to the cabin. After the plane completed the turn, it waited at the end of the runway for a full five minutes. When the five minutes were up, the plane's engine sound suddenly increased, and the engine began to fully exert its power and prepare to speed up taxiing. .
Everyone has no idea where the plane is now. They can't see the runway or anything. They can only pray in their hearts that everything will be okay. Once the plane takes off and reaches the decisive speed, at this time, the plane has no way out. It can only take off, and even the runway cannot meet the distance for the aircraft to stop from the decisive speed. Therefore, in this case, even if the aircraft suddenly catches fire, the aircraft must take off, get into the sky first, and then find a way to land.
This group of people all broke into a cold sweat when the engine started to work. Although they could not see the outside or feel the speed of the plane at this moment, they could also feel it from the increasingly strong turbulence. , the speed of the plane has become faster and faster.
"V1! V1!"
A cold computer prompt sounded throughout the cabin. The plane had reached the V1 decision speed. An expert with some knowledge of civil aviation said: "Okay, if you don't stop at V1, we will have no choice but to take off. Let's leave it to fate."
As soon as the words fell, everyone clearly felt that the nose of the plane began to lift, and the plane took off!
A completely unmanned aircraft. It stands to reason that an unmanned aircraft is naturally not qualified to carry people. After all, no one thinks that this thing will be really reliable without people.
The plane had begun to climb, and everything felt like a normal flight. If they hadn't remembered that there wasn't even a ghost in the cockpit, no one would have felt anything particularly different. As soon as the plane took off, it started to fly according to the established schedule. The route consisted of a five-way flight around the airport, then the final flight, the plane turned and began to prepare for landing.
?????Everyone is looking at the distance of the plane from the runway at this moment, the height of the plane at this moment, and the rate of descent. Everything seems to be very normal, but the height of the plane is constantly decreasing, and the distance from the runway is decreasing.They are also constantly being drawn closer.
A series of landing preparation processes were automatically completed by the aircraft. The flaps were opened, the engine thrust was reduced, and the aircraft's altitude dropped steadily. After a few minutes, there was an obvious feeling of touching the ground from the rear wheels of the aircraft. Then, the front wheels touched the ground, and the aircraft The speed quickly slowed down, making everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after the plane landed, it still operated on autopilot when it taxied off the runway and returned to the parking spot. Moreover, the position of the plane when it returned to the parking spot was exactly the same as the position before takeoff. When the plane finally stopped and everyone at the airport The lights were turned on, and before the accompanying team on the plane could react, deafening cheers erupted outside the airport.
For the staff outside the airport, this unmanned test flight was extremely successful. Before the aircraft took off, the positions of the front and rear landing gears were marked with white edges on the ground. When the aircraft came back, it was still It stopped exactly within the drawn boundary line. The staff outside were all the backbones of Dongchen Aviation. They had already known that Zhang Wenhao would start producing Dongchen's own passenger aircraft after completing the acquisition of Airbus. Now , such a powerful positioning system has become the most accurate guidance system in human history. If Dongchen¡¯s future aircraft will have this unmanned driving capability, it will be enough to change the development and process of the entire civil aviation industry.
However, Zhang Wenhao also knows in his heart that if super biochips such as super learning systems are not developed, then computers will never be able to compare with humans. Although this kind of autonomous driving system seems to be highly accurate and far beyond human limits, in the future When Dongchen develops its own aircraft, it must not abandon the essential factor of pilot. It is impossible for Dongchen to really develop an unmanned passenger aircraft. When encountering any emergencies, the adaptability of the human brain will It is almost far superior to computers, not to mention that humans have abilities that computers do not have, and that is the role of experience.
However, even if it is impossible to abandon the important factor of human participation in the short term, this system is enough to make Dongchen¡¯s future passenger aircraft stand out from the rest. If it has powerful and precise navigation, Dongchen¡¯s passenger aircraft can be used at any airport and in any visibility. Aircraft can take off and land easily. One day in the future, perhaps Dongchen¡¯s passenger aircraft will shuttle around the world¡¯s air transportation lines together with Boeing, Airbus and other aircraft with huge fleets. By then, the following is likely to happen situation.
First of all, planes flying to Yanjing from many places rush to Yanjing Airport from different directions. Once Yanjing enters heavy fog and the airport is closed to the port, all Airbus and Boeing aircraft will temporarily choose other airports in surrounding cities. However, the Dongchen aircraft only needs to turn on the autopilot and retrieve the data of a certain runway at Yanjing Airport, and the aircraft can easily achieve automatic landing without visibility.
In addition, if one day Yanjing is affected by heavy fog and even outbound flights are forced to be suspended and tens of thousands of passengers are stranded at the airport, only Dongchen aircraft can obtain the takeoff permission from the airport tower. In this case , airlines around the world will find a problem. If they are equipped with Dongchen aircraft, their costs can be further reduced.
At that time, the work of air traffic control will be much easier. Every time a plane is allowed to land, they only need to send the runway data to the other party. The other party can strictly follow their own requirements, land quickly and safely, and then quickly and safely enter their respective areas. parking space,
What¡¯s more, the killer technology that Zhang Wenhao plans to use on Dongchen passenger aircraft goes far beyond this one.
After the completion of this test, the military is very interested in Dongchen's positioning system. It can't wait to equip domestic military aircraft with the Dongchen positioning system immediately. Once Dongchen's positioning system is equipped, even if it does not perform automatic driving After the modification, the pilot can also achieve true no-line-of-sight takeoff based on the data given by Dongchen's positioning system. This advantage will be epoch-making for Dongchen and the world.
The spiral staircase truck arrived, and a group of experts and inspectors got off the plane. When they saw that the plane's wheels had rejoined the previous sidelines and seemed to have never moved, they all looked surprised. Chen's move was so shocking that they had to admit that the advanced nature of this system was unparalleled.
Beidou experts finally knew what it meant to be ashamed this time. Dongchen used just one month to do what they had done for twenty years, and what he did was countless times more beneficial than them. Dongchen's technology , has become the leading positioning system in the world.
After getting off the plane, a Beidou engineer asked with surprise and humility: "Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask, Dongchen has developed so many sets of terminal equipment for this positioning system, what are the main differences? ?Is the necessary castration performed on portable mobile devices?"
Zhang Wenhao shook his head and said: "We do not deliberately strictly control the functions and performance of products. For example, the mobile phone module of Dongchen positioning system can also realize three-dimensional navigation. However, because of its weak processing power, its performance and functions are far inferior to that of Dongchen positioning system. The onboard positioning module does not have the function of 3D simulation, nor does it have too many auxiliary computing functions. However, in response to the continuous improvement of terminals, we have added large screens and more powerful dual processing chips to the handheld terminals. , so the functions and performance of professional handheld terminals are much better than those of mobile phone modules. "
As he spoke, Zhang Wenhao said calmly: "Actually, what we prefer is for vehicle-mounted and air-mounted applications. In the future, the functions of autonomous driving and blind takeoff and landing will also be directly transplanted to Dongchen's large passenger aircraft and become Dongchen's large passenger aircraft. Chen Technology¡¯s standard features.
"Standard function?" The man was stunned and said: "Then I think you should submit this system to the International Civil Aviation Administration for approval as soon as possible. Only if they recognize the effectiveness of this system can this system be truly effective." When it comes to practical applications, if they do not approve of this system, they will use rigid requirements to force the Dongchen passenger plane to be the same as other passenger planes. If the visibility at a certain airport does not meet the previous landing standards, it will be useless even if the Dongchen passenger plane has the ability to land. , we can only choose to surrender obediently."
Zhang Wenhao smiled secretly in his heart, International Civil Aviation Administration? It is impossible for them to compete with Dongchen's new technology. Once Dongchen's new technology is applied to new aircraft models, the International Civil Aviation Administration will provide airworthiness and application standards in the shortest possible time. Perhaps one day in the future, all All aircraft will be required to undergo such modifications, but Zhang Wenhao has already made up his mind. Once he successfully acquires Airbus, he will have absolute technological exclusivity. Boeing will not be able to obtain Dongchen's engines by then, not to mention It is such a system.
Director Liu always thinks calmly when thinking about problems. At this time, he asked Zhang Wenhao: "Wenhao, you must pay close attention to foreign launch plans. If today's test results are known to Western countries, I think most of them will Most people would refuse to launch rockets for Dongchen.
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about this. The employees present at Dongchen tonight are all very reliable. Moreover, our overseas launch plan has been successfully negotiated. The launch will be completed in just one month. By then, Dongchen will acquire The Airbus matter should be settled. Even if Western countries regret it, there is nothing they can do.
This Dongchen positioning system is of great significance to Zhang Wenhao. Zhang Wenhao is even planning to quickly transplant this system to Dongchen cars. In the future, all official models with navigation functions and central control color screens will have it. Use Dongchen's navigation system as a substitute and upgrade the existing navigation module. By that time, traditional GPS navigation will become a stranger! What's more, Zhang Wenhao has the technology of large-capacity and high-speed flash memory particles, coupled with the omnipotent waiter, he can even survey and map the most accurate and detailed world map in a short period of time, so as to facilitate Dongchen all over the world. car users.
