In the sky is an airplane, the rotor is turned into a car on the ground. In the past, we can only see it in the US blockbuster. It is a flying car. At the end of September this year, the first domestic flying car will be available, and energy production will be made at the end of the year. What does it look like, what fuel is used, how to fly? Don't worry, the reporter will show you the color of it in advance.
The seat and steering wheel were all equipped with a racing configuration for one hour. The reporter came to Xi'an United Airlines Technology Co., Ltd., which is located in the National Aviation High-tech Industry Base of Yanliang. In its production workshop, the reporter saw that it was still there. Flying cars in production. In the production workshop, the workers are finely grinding the molds used in the production of flying cars. In the production workshop on the left, a 1:3 scale flying car model is placed. At the same time, the steering wheel, seats and other components of the flying car interior are neatly placed. The head of the flying car is a flat arc with LED lights on both sides of the head, rotors on the top and tail, four wheels on the chassis, and two seats in the room. The reporter noticed that the five-point seat belt was installed on the seat, and the shape of the steering wheel was the same as that of the car. The staff told reporters that the steering wheel and seat used in the flying car are exactly the same as the F1 racing car. The material for the seat is made of FRP. The outer material of the flying car is made of carbon fiber and high-strength titanium alloy.
Fuel two-wheel drive, using 97# unleaded gasoline, the chairman of the United Airlines Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. Chang Jianqin told reporters that the weight of the entire flying car is 450 kg, the length of the rotor is 8.4 meters, the length and width of the driving mode The heights are 4.6 meters, 2.0 meters and 1.46 meters respectively. Its maximum takeoff weight is 600 kg, the maximum cruising speed can reach 180km/h, two-wheel drive, and the driving speed is 120 km/h. It is equipped with a 70-liter fuel tank that can fly for 3-4 hours. Can fly and run, what fuel does it use? I believe this is also a place that many citizens are curious. According to reports, the flying car uses an aviation piston engine and uses ordinary 97# leaded or unleaded petrol. The cost of use is much lower than other aircraft.
It can be changed from flight mode to driving state by operating a button. Chang Jianqin said that this type of flying car operates in the same way as ordinary car operation in the ground. In the air operation, like the ordinary spin-wing aircraft, the throttle size controls the flight speed of the flying car. The front and rear push-pull steering rods control the flying car's pitch, and the left and right pressers and ankle rudders control the direction of the flying car. The take-off does not require a dedicated airport runway. As long as there is a running area of ​​about 30 meters, it is only necessary to run a 10-meter length. When the flight mode is turned to the driving mode, the main bracket and the rotor are folded at the push of a button, and only 10 minutes before and after. The citizens who will drive the car can operate the flight separately after 2-5 days of flight training.
Performance front cabin equipped with emergency parachute man-machine can safely land when talking about how to sprout the idea of ​​building a flying car, Chang Jianqin told reporters that this is related to his hobby and work relationship, he is obsessed with aviation sports enthusiasts I have played all kinds of flying equipment. I found in the entertainment and stimulation of aviation sports that the rotorcraft has the highest safety and simple operation. The reporter learned that the flying car is flying in a spin-wing manner, like a big gyro, with good stability and no stall. The aircraft engine can spin and land after being parked in the air. In terms of passive safety, the front cabin of the flying vehicle is equipped with an emergency parachute, and an emergency landing occurs when the flying vehicle has a mechanical failure.
The price of a flying car is about 2 million yuan. The reporter learned that the flying car adopts a large number of advanced technologies and technologies in today's automobile and aviation manufacturing industry. It has obtained national invention patents in 2011 and has independent property rights. It is expected to be at the end of September this year. The first domestic flying car will be born and will be mass-produced by the end of 2012. This means filling the gap in China's land-free dual-use vehicles. According to media reports, in the United States, it is also a flying car. Its price is 1.26 million US dollars, and the flying car developed and produced by our country is about 2 million yuan, only one-fifth of the helicopter price.
From sports cars to yachts, the number of people who are now waved to buy planes is also increasing, and the hobby of the rich people shows their identity. Perhaps the advent of flying cars will become a new hobby point for the rich and become their new status symbol.
Do you need two driver's licenses for a disputed flying car?
As everyone knows, if you need to have a plane driver's license to fly a plane, what kind of license do you need to drive for this newly born flying car? Chang Jianqin, chairman of Xi'an United Airlines Technology Co., Ltd., said that although the flying car is simple to operate, it belongs to the rotorcraft, while the rotorcraft belongs to aviation sports equipment and is managed by the State Sports General Administration. Since it is a plane that wants to be legally licensed to drive it, it is necessary to obtain an aircraft driver's license. If the car is on the land, in theory, it should also hold a car driver's license.
The reporter reviewed the "Notice on issues related to driver license training and operation management of several types of aircraft such as gliders and free balloons." See gliders, primary aircraft, rotary rotorcraft, free balloons, airship pilot licenses with an inflation volume of less than 4,600 cubic meters. The training and management is authorized by the Civil Aviation Administration to be responsible for the Aviation Radio Model Movement Management Center of the State Sports General Administration. In the practical examination, the Air Sports Administration Center assigns an examiner to review the student’s flight experience record and the aviation personnel medical certificate, and the license according to the practical examination standards. The applicant conducts an oral test and a flight skill test. The tester submits the test conclusions and related materials to the Air Traffic Control Center of the General Administration of Sports. After the air traffic control center of the General Administration of Sports has passed the examination, it shall report to the Flight Standards Department of the Civil Aviation Administration for the driver's license.
It is required to have a flight license for the flight license to apply for flight. Some citizens have said that when they learn that there is a new vehicle like a flying car, I will fly one when I see that the traffic jam is not good. "If people are driving a flying car, fly one when they are not happy, and fly one when they are in traffic jam, what should the security problem do?" Mr. Li said that everyone who is flying in the air will command, and if a collision suddenly falls, Will hurt passers-by. In the words of Chairman Chang Jianqin, the probability of this phenomenon occurring at this stage is almost zero. It is understood that the airspace in the country except the civil aviation route and the airport is under the jurisdiction of the civil aviation authority, and all other airspace is under military control. According to relevant laws and regulations, there are several rigid conditions for private flight in China: the aircraft to be driven must obtain the “aircraft airworthiness permit issued by the Civil Aviation Administration; the pilot must have a valid and valid flight license; the flight area must be applied to the military and civil aviation administration. And the flight plan, after approval, can fly; and such a set of processes takes a lot of time. In addition, if you fly across provinces, you need to apply to the two provinces, if you want to fly, you must apply in advance, otherwise it is" Blackfly "will be fined once found.
A wide range of market applications have been purchased by many companies. In 2010, the State Council and the Central Military Commission issued the "Opinions on Deepening China's Low-altitude Airspace Management Reform." According to this document, China will gradually open airspace below 1,000 meters, allowing light fixed wings. Small aircraft such as airplanes and helicopters flew. From 2011 to 2015, pilot reforms were carried out throughout the country, and low-altitude airspace was classified in Beijing, Lanzhou, Jinan, Nanjing, and Chengdu flight control zones.
According to the official data released by the 2011 China International General Aviation Conference, a total of 157 general-purpose aircraft were traded during the five-day session, and 200 aircraft purchase intentions were reached. The number of transactions exceeded the total transaction volume of the national general aircraft in 2010. According to the data of the 2011 China General Aviation Development Report, in 2011, the national general aviation completed a total of 502,700 hours of operation, an increase of 28.5% over the previous year. The top three general aviation projects with working hours are oil service, agriculture and forestry flight, and aerial photography.
Various kinds of data show that China's general aviation demand is gradually increasing, and flying vehicles have a broad market field with their price advantage and forest fire protection, border patrol, and agriculture and forestry plant protection monitoring. Chang Jianqin told reporters that although the flying car is still in the production and development stage, dozens of enterprises and units have purchased intentions. Next month, he will travel to the United States with his own research and development of flying cars to let foreigners take a look at the Chinese-made flying cars.
