Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 1489: 706

After the assembly of the flying car was completed, the official testing began.

The first item was the fixed test.

The fixed test process would last an entire day, mainly to examine the performance of the wheel transformation. Once the anti-gravity system is activated for ascent, the wheels would retract the tire portion and spread out the surrounding blades, becoming a rotor that agitates the air. The rotor has an extremely high rotational speed, and its continuous spinning would generate a forward force for the car.

At the same time, the Miniature Turbocharged Engine would also start up synchronously.

The rotor transformed from the wheels and the Miniature Turbocharged Engine together generate a forward force, pulling the car to accelerate and fly forward.

This force has an upper limit and would reach a balance with the airflow and the resistance encountered by the car at a certain speed, which is used to calculate the theoretical maximum speed of the flying car in flight.

Although it is only a theoretical maximum speed, it still holds significant reference value.

After a day of testing, the various parameters of the flying car met the standard, some internal components’ performance was adjusted, and the maximum flight speed approached over 500 kilometers per hour.

This is a quite astonishing speed.

Although there is still a gap compared to an airplane’s maximum speed, the construction of the flying car is not intended for high-speed flight. Being able to reach 500 kilometers per hour means that it would take less than three hours from the capital to Magic City, which is nearly the same as a real airplane.

"In terms of the car’s power, when the flight speed exceeds 100 kilometers per hour, the Miniature Turbocharged Engine becomes the main source of power. At this point, the effect of the transformed wheels is very small,"

After the wind force test, the technical staff drew a conclusion, "Because the speed of the rotor’s rotation will be offset by the flight speed, and when the flight speed exceeds 350 kilometers per hour, the rotor would even become an impediment to the speed."

"Therefore, when the speed exceeds 200 kilometers per hour, in fact, it is possible to directly turn off the rotor."

"However, at the initial stage of acceleration, the rotor is very important."

"At this time, the power provided by the turbo engine is very limited, and can even be considered negligible."

"But this is also the biggest problem with acceleration in flight mode because the acceleration provided by the rotor is limited. The fastest acceleration in flight mode is only about 17 meters per second squared."

This acceleration is indeed slow. freёwebnovel.com

Even ordinary civilian cars that can accelerate to 100 kilometers in five seconds are common, like the Unlimited Power Automobile that can accelerate to 100 kilometers in three seconds.

The flying car in flight mode needs six seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometers, so the acceleration speed is quite low, but considering that most of the time in flight mode there is no need to decelerate, the impact on use is not significant.

The performance of the flying car still met satisfactory results.

After a whole day of fixed tests, the next day proceeded with the test flight.

The first test flight did not require human operation, but relied on a set of simple systems to allow the car, after a vertical ascent in an open area, to slowly accelerate, fly around in a circle, and then return to the original spot.

This was the first test of the test flight.

After the first test ended, the second test began, which was to accelerate the car to 100 kilometers per hour, then immediately activate the reverse power system to realize high-speed flight.

Ordinary commercial airliners only take off and climb into the air after accelerating to over 300 kilometers per hour, but flying cars rely on an anti-gravity system that allows for vertical lift-off without the need for rapid acceleration. After accelerating to 100 kilometers per hour, they can even continue to accelerate and fly without changing the wheels, just by relying on the Miniature Turbocharged Engine.

The maximum speed for this test flight would reach 250 kilometers per hour, with the smart system controlling the car to circle a large loop, then return to the original spot.

Whether for the first test or the second, there would still be technical staff in the cockpit. These staff members would wear safety suits resistant to physical collision, so that even if the car encountered a failure in the air, the safety-suited personnel jumping down would theoretically not suffer severe injuries.

Of course.

When it comes to safety issues, no one can guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

So, before the tests began, Zhao Yi still had a lot of things to explain to the technicians going up, reminding them that safety was most important.

The staff working on the flying car, wearing thick safety suits, definitely couldn’t perform delicate operations, but they could execute the two most important ones. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

One operation was to shut down other energy-consuming devices, allowing all electricity to support the anti-gravity system, ensuring its operation.

This was one of the safety assurance plans.

The other was to decelerate, like stepping on a car’s brakes. The flying process can also be decelerated by unfolding the resistance wings and cutting off the solar energy transfer supply to the combustor of the Miniature Turbocharged Engine.

When the flying car loses engine power and generates a large amount of resistance on its own, it naturally decelerates rapidly.

This is something ordinary airplanes cannot do.

The turbo engines used by ordinary airplanes burn fuel at high temperatures, and while the engine can cut off the fuel supply, the high temperatures in the combustion chamber will not immediately return to normal just because the fuel is cut off.
