Chapter 183 An aircraft capable of changing the history of human spaceflight!
Tang Chao really didn't expect that these reporters did a lot of homework.
Without any directive prompts, they not only did the rocket homework, but also the homework of a single-stage orbiting aircraft.
Yes, apart from writing fake news, these reporters are not useless.
However, there are not many reporters who can do this, so he needs to explain it.
"Please be quiet, our press conference has just begun!"
Tang Chao said to the microphone.
The reporters realized that the real owner was here and guessed something they were thinking about.
Ask the Lord!
"Mr. Tang Chao, what is the aircraft in the factory?"
"Captain Tang, can you answer our questions? Is that aircraft a single-stage orbital vehicle?"
"What engine does it use?"
"Mr. Tang, does that aircraft do not require rocket assistance?"
"Tang Chaosang, please..."
Good guy, is the reporter anxious to rent all his mouth?
For a moment, Tang Chao felt his mind buzzing, but Chen Jing had experience, so he pressed a button on the microphone with a cold face.
"squeak--"
A huge and sharp noise sounded, instantly suppressing the noise of the reporters.
"Quiet, if you quarrel, you will be disqualified from asking questions!"
With this sound, the reporters became quiet in an instant. For reporters, the right to interview is important.
Otherwise, for the same thing, others can write their own names by writing reports and articles, and reporters who do not have the right to interview can only "reprint" other journalists' articles and reports.
If the incident is huge enough, it may even lose work because of such a thing.
Sure enough, Tang Chao had to continue learning about the reporter's affairs, but the next thing was his professionalism, which was his home court.
After gaining knowledge in aerospace, controlled nuclear fusion and nanorobots, he became more and more confident.
"Okay, our press conference has officially begun. Everyone has seen it. This aircraft is called 'Dart x'. It is just a verification aircraft and does not even have a formal name. However, since I can boldly call it 'Terminator of the manned rocket', it must be qualified."
Tang Chao's tone was neither anxious nor slow, especially as he stood directly in front of the aircraft, blocking the windshield of the aircraft's cockpit, with the support of the "Dart x" aircraft, and his aura was extremely powerful.
"Haha," Tang Chao said with a smile: "We originally planned to put on a big screen, but I thought that watching virtual modeling would definitely not be as good as watching physical aircraft, so we did not have a detailed demonstration this time, and all the information was my oral statement."
"And the aircraft behind me."
"Of course, in order to make you enjoyable, there is enough material when writing reports, so I will give you specific instructions for the first introduction."
After saying that, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the factory, talking as he walked.
"Everyone come with me, but you have to pay attention to order, otherwise you will be deprived of the interview."
He is learning and selling.
After hearing this, the reporters were surprised to catch up, but with the warnings from Chen Jing and Tang Chao, they did not dare to act rashly. After all, the Navigator Company is not a small company.
In addition, if this aircraft is really that magical and is the "terminator of manned rockets", it is conceivable that the Navigator Company will immediately become the world's number one private space company.
Even in the field of manned space, they will become the well-deserved king of the world!
When the reporters came to the factory and stood next to the aircraft, they were truly shocked!
Not only were they shocked, but the audience who watched the live broadcast also shocked!
The moment the door opened, the shock began. As we approached, with Tang Chao's introduction, it became more and more shocking!
Live broadcast is already a very common thing.
As soon as the article came out, the world's eyes gathered at the Pilot Company. I heard that some media would broadcast live, and of course they would watch it.
"I had thought of it for a long time. It must be the SSTTO aircraft, otherwise the Pilot Company would not have posted that article."
"Niu Pi, shocked. The moment the door opened, I thought I had come to the future!"
"Tears, Tianxia's spacecraft design has finally come to science fiction! This design feels so cool!"
"Tearing, Ye Qingjie, Tianxia's spacecraft is actually sci-fi. How can you maintain your combat effectiveness?"
"It's 25 meters long, wingspan 20 meters, and the landing gear is 8 meters high, and the wing body is fused with wave body and swept large triangular wings. No wonder the shape is so sharp. I just don't know what the engine is, so I would have a good look if I could look at the engine."
"What thing flew over just now?"
"I saw it clearly. The boss wants to see the engine. Captain Tang introduced it."
"Damn it, is Pilots going to fight Kanxing to the death? The engine is really named 'Dart', hahaha!"
"It is said that the company boss likes to play Kanxing games, and the two companies now have a strategic partnership."
"The take-off weight is about 100 tons and the carrying capacity is 2 tons. This carrying ratio is pretty good and not too bad, but the cargo warehouse of the aircraft cannot be compared with the rocket, right? It's not cost-effective."
"Look clearly, people have already made it clear. It is not in stock."
"Yes, if you are a passenger, do you want to ride this kind of rocket or the kind of rocket that throws a section after a while?"
"Is this a question? Of course, it's safe to see!"
Many people are excited, of course, not including those aerospace companies that originally wanted to enter space tourism.
Because of the Pilot's "Dart X", the manned Dragon spacecraft, the CST-100 interstellar passenger plane, the Dream Chaser spacecraft, the New Shepard suborbital sightseeing rocket, etc., they all seem very low.
Not to mention these commercial spacecraft, even the manned spacecraft of the National Space Agency seems a bit out of date.
It's not just a subversion of flight methods, but also a price.
A plane ticket costs only $1 million and can transport 8 passengers into space orbit at a time.
Well, at the strong request of the Marketing Department, 4 cabins were changed to 8.
As for two tons, plus two pilots, there are only 10 people in total, and each person can get a weight of 200 kilograms.
A single person will definitely not be able to use all the weights, so you can store some space meals, supplies, debris and other things in the spare time.
However, the 6-person version with four seats in the cockpit has also been left behind, and can be modified in luxury and sold to private individuals as real private spacecraft.
There are even those who only have the cockpit left, and the remaining space is changed to "yachts". After taking the license, you can go and play.
This is a human version, and even an unmanned cargo version is available in the future. The space cannot be compared with a cylindrical rocket, but it is absolutely suitable to transport some small precision instruments and test items.
Horizontal takeoff and horizontal landing, compared to the "straight up and down" rockets, it's so comfortable.
The most important thing is the price, tens of millions to one million, it’s really good!
When I mentioned earlier, people had fewer associations, but when I introduced the unmanned cargo version, many aerospace enthusiasts suddenly met the number.
It is the "x-33" aircraft, the technical verification aircraft of Adventure Star.
It is also an unmanned SSTTO spacecraft. It does not have any windows, does not carry astronauts, only cargo, and returns to the ground with precision test items at a level.
Unfortunately, its completion rate is already very high, but because some technologies cannot be broken through in the short term, the project was terminated 20 years ago.
If the plan had not been terminated at that time and had continued to study it, what would the current Meriken manned spacecraft and even the international manned spacecraft service be?
The taxpayer in Murakan is furious!
“What did we do 20 years ago?”
"Don't be excited, we really ended the mission just because the technical limitations are too great, the positioning and future are unclear."
"We don't believe it. You big companies and governments are the best at deceiving people. We want the truth!"
"This is the truth."
"If we don't believe it, we want the truth!"
“…”
Regardless of the fact that Meriken has started to make a fuss, Tang Chao said, "Please witness tomorrow, 'Dart x' will enter space from here!"
Chapter completed!
