Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Second, All Are Coming (Part 2)
"Terminator 3" was originally planned to go to Canada to shoot, so the cost would be lower, but at the strong request of the governor, the crew was forced to temporarily move the shooting location from the original Canada to the governor's vote room - Los Angeles, California the day before the filming started.
This is great. At least when Guo Tai comes to send Chu Fei to the crew, he doesn't have to apply for a Canadian visa.
There are many ordinary aircraft in the Air Force Museum, and many of them have been displayed in history. However, the aircraft that Guo Tailai wanted to see was in a special exhibition hall, r&dandpresidentialhanger. Because this special exhibition hall is located in a nearby air force base, if you want to visit, you need to apply and register in advance. Only more than 200 people have the opportunity to enter it every day. First come first, and you will be fine.
However, Guo Tailai called FBI's Inspector Stilwell and asked him to help him for a little help. Although he did not make an appointment to apply for registration, he was still allowed to enter.
Some people in the court are easy to be officials, and the same is true in the United States.
When I entered the door, I saw the figure of the graceful xb-70 Valkyrie.
This is a high-altitude high-speed strategic bomber developed by the former North American Airlines in the 1960s. Its first flight was in 1964.
The design of xb-70 was used to pierce the Soviet Union's huge air defense network at high speed. Its Mach 3.1 penetration speed was almost unsolvable at that time because no interceptor could intercept it, and it stayed on the air defense radar screen for only a few minutes. Before the radar station staff could calculate its trajectory, xb-70 disappeared from the screen.
xb-70 is actually the American version of t-4, or to be more precise, t-4 is actually xb-70sky.
The MiG 25 developed by the Russians is also to be able to intercept this amazing bomber to a certain extent.
In fact, the stainless steel used by MiG 25 is not its original. XB-70 also uses a certain amount of stainless steel to solve the high temperature caused by supersonic friction. It is just that it is not as crazy as the old men. It is just used in some wing skin structures.
If it is already amazing to say that the largest bomber in service, the Max Takeoff weight of the Max 160 White Swan, the maximum takeoff weight of 275 tons, isn't it amazing, then the Valkyrie's maximum takeoff weight of 250 tons, which was 17 years earlier than the Max 160 prototype, the maximum takeoff weight of 250 tons, the maximum speed of 3.1 Max, isn't it super amazing?
Some things Americans just think are unnecessary, not impossible.
"Fefei, would it be great if you said that I would build a supersonic private jet based on this?"
Guo Tai was drooling when he looked at the Valkyrie, but he could only think about it.
Even if the Americans are generous and willing to sell this prototype to themselves, how dare they use this plane that has been put on for thirty or forty years?
"Okay, I'm waiting!"
Chu Fei didn't think it was difficult to build such an aircraft at all. The aircraft from the 1960s is now so advanced in technology, so why are you afraid that it will not be able to build it?
Especially the handmade artisans like Fatty, there is no problem at all. They promised easily: "When you build the plane, I will help you choose the interior and decoration."
"OK!"
Guo Tailai agreed with a smile.
He knew the saying that apart traveling is like a mountain. He asked himself to make a set of fashion and explain the design concept. Isn’t he confused?
It is normal for Chu Fei to not understand the difficulty of this. It is really a day when Guo Tailai doesn't mind giving the interior or something to Chu Fei for design.
The predecessor of the Blackbird, the YF-12 interceptor, was modified by the A-12 reconnaissance aircraft. Its pilots also had to wear clothes similar to space suits to fly the plane.
During a test flight in 1965, the YF-12 successfully tested an air-to-air missile at a speed of Mach 3.2. This was an amazing feat, not to mention at that time, even now.
These aircraft always fly at a speed of more than Mach 3, and they are all the technical reserves of the Americans during the Cold War in the 1960s, which are simply shocking.
The yf-23 is a test machine, and the manufacturing process is not very exquisite, but the unique diamond-shaped wing and full-movement V-shaped tail wing, and the air intake also adopt a rare isosceles trapezoid, which greatly improves the stealth performance of the belly.
The two GE YF120 engines also greatly improve the thrust and fuel efficiency of the aircraft under different circumstances.
Like f-22, yf-23 also uses vector nozzles and is equipped with wave absorbing paint, making the stealth performance of the nozzle more outstanding than f-22.
I have to say that the yf-23's design is bold and avant-garde, and the yf120 engine it is equipped with is also innovative and avant-garde, but the technical risks of the whole machine are too great, and it eventually lost to the relatively conservative design f-22.
In addition to these test aircraft, Guo Tailai also saw a series of new technologies such as x-29, front swept wing design, tri-wing surface control, static instability, new synthetic materials, complex fly-by-wire control systems, etc.
The entire aircraft basically represents the highest technology in the aviation industry in the 1980s and the pathfinder for future aircraft development.
Focusing on these four planes, Guo Tailai stayed until the building was closed before leaving.
Afterwards, no one stopped in Dayton City and went back to the airport directly and chartered a flight to Los Angeles.
There is still a three-hour time difference between Los Angeles and the East Coast. This will be the time to leave. It will not be too late to arrive in Los Angeles, which is almost the same as here.
It was not until the plane landed that Guo Tailai and Chu Fei checked in the hotel and settled down.
That night, Guo Tailai saw a piece of news in the hotel.
After many days of reconnaissance and layout, Cia finally wiped out a group of terrorists involved in the 9/11 attack.
For this, Cia even paid the price of a team of special operations elites.
The terrorists were crazy and even deliberately pretended to enter the World Trade Center on September 11th in order to attract Cia's attention. Cia's special operations elites were unaware of it and dressed up as staff members of the World Trade Center to prepare for arrest, but they happened to be attacked.
At that time, the operation elites had the opportunity to escape, but they took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of evacuation for the sake of the office staff in the building, but they failed to escape.
This statement of evacuation was confirmed by some survivors who escaped from the high-rise buildings of the South Tower. In the video of the people who escaped to the top of the South Tower photographed by the helicopter, the identities of two of them were also confirmed. In the video, they were indeed directing everyone to escape.
Because this team of elites has died, Cia officially confirmed that they are American heroes.
This statement and video alone have attracted praise from the American people. The twelve elites who evacuated the staff of the World Trade Center, the black-framed photos were almost broadcast in the news. If there were memorials or monuments in the future, their names would definitely be at the forefront with several other heroes who showed an angel-like virtue in the 9/11 incident.
Before escaping from the United States, the remaining terrorists kidnapped and brutally killed an innocent billionaire. By the time Cia's men completed the pursuit, they had no time to save him, but only saved the wife of the rich man who was kidnapped at the same time, and finally wiped out the terrorists without leaving any of them.
The identity of this group of terrorists was also disclosed. They were a team of war hyenas with a lot of evil deeds. You can tell that they are not good people, corpse-eating vultures, just by hearing the name.
