Chapter 207 Ground Effect of Flying Close to the Ground(1/2)

 Yesterday, after Xiao Ning decided to start the challenge directly the next day.

After discussion, the Mira Mountain project team finally finalized the challenge start time at seven o'clock in the morning.

Although there are still just over two hours before the challenge starts, everyone is very busy.

Various shooting positions inside and outside the tunnel, debugging of overhead drones, runway lighting preparation for aerobatic aircraft taking off outside the tunnel...

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the staff of the Mira Mountain project team are on site at the moment, they have something to do.

The staff is busy, but Xiao Ning, who is about to take on the challenge, is very idle.

To be precise, Xiao Ning and Qian Zhen are very free.

Yes, Qian Zhen is here again for this challenge in Mira Mountain.

But maybe it’s because he had enough training in the plateau environment in Zheduo Mountain. This time after coming to Mira Mountain, which has the same terrifying altitude, Qian Zhen didn’t suffer from obvious altitude sickness.

At this moment, it is located 200 meters from the entrance of Mira Mountain Tunnel.

From several staff members a little further away, Qian Zhen took a bucket of instant noodles, and then walked quickly to Xiao Ning, who was more than ten meters away. He handed the instant noodles to the other person and said with a smile: "Here comes the chicken soup."

Wow!"

Xiao Ning took the instant noodles and looked at Qian Zhen doubtfully: "Brother Qian, how did you know that I like the instant noodles flavor of mushroom stewed chicken noodles."

Qian Zhen said casually: "I had a meal of instant noodles with Liu Weiwei in your studio office a while ago, and she accidentally told me."

Xiao Ning nodded, and then asked while driving: "Aren't you going to eat?"

Qian Zhen shook his head: "I'm afraid I'll make me vomit when I watch you perform later, so I'll just eat this."

After Qian Zhen finished speaking, he took out a portable oxygen bottle and took a sip in front of Xiao Ning.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't feel high this time? Are you still smoking?"

"Just in case..."

Xiao Ning was chatting with Qian Zhen while eating.

When the bucket of instant noodles for breakfast was almost eaten, several staff members from the Mira Mountain project team came over.

In the next few minutes, the staff began to assist Xiao Ning in wearing full-body protective gear.

After a staff member installed a camera on the Red Bull helmet worn by Xiao Ning, the wearing of all protective gear was completed.

"Don't worry, the live broadcast will start in about five minutes. Then you can say hello to the audience and chat for a while. I asked just now that the road section on the 'runway' used for planes to take off is not completely ready yet."

A staff member left after saying these words, and then Xiao Ning was patted on the shoulder by Qian Zhen.

"Junior Brother Xiao, I suddenly have something to ask."

"You asked."

"You said they gave you full armor, this kind of racing protective clothing, and this kind of helmet. Is it really useful?"

Seeing Qian Zhen looking at his outfit, Xiao Ning thought for a moment and then shook his head: "If you mean that these things can protect my safety after the challenge starts, I think it is useless.



"Then why do they have to put so many things on you that are not heavy to wear?"

"Didn't you notice that the Austrian Red Bull logo is everywhere on these clothes, pants and helmet?"

Feeling like he was acting stupid in front of Xiao Ning, Qian Zhen remained silent.

Five forty-five in the morning.

Red Bull started streaming simultaneously in the live broadcast rooms of various platforms.

What is different from Xiao Ning’s previous challenge is that this time when the live broadcast started, what the audience saw was not the countdown to the challenge or the staff filming the scene from a third perspective.

After the live broadcast started this time, what everyone saw directly was Xiao Ning who was facing him with the camera.

Because Red Bull has already announced the approximate start time of the live broadcast online in advance, there are already many viewers waiting in the live broadcast rooms on various platforms at this time.

And when everyone discovered that Xiao Ning was directly in the frame at the beginning of this live broadcast, the number of viewers increased faster than in previous live broadcasts.

Even though it's not yet six o'clock in the morning, the barrages in various live broadcast rooms are still flying.

"What a guy! I'm a good guy! Ning Shen personally takes the shot!"

"I was afraid of oversleeping, so I set the alarm for five o'clock and waited for about forty minutes before the broadcast started!"

"Don't worry, I'm already fully dressed!"

"Don't worry, when did you learn to fly a plane? Why have you never heard of such a thing?"

"Let me tell you, Xiao Ning, your play is becoming more and more abstract now. You've even flown a plane through a tunnel, right?"

"Don't worry, I understand the truth. Why do you have to do this challenge so early in the morning?"

"Peace of mind, peace of mind! Is that blue plane behind you the plane you want to fly?"

After taking a general look at the barrage and replying to a few selective messages, Xiao Ning pointed the handheld live broadcast camera at the blue plane not far behind him.

"This aircraft is indeed the aircraft used in today's challenge. Its model is Zivko Edge 520 V2. Its power has been upgraded and tuned by Red Bull's professional team."

"This aircraft often appears in many aerobatic performances or competitions."

"If you are interested in this aircraft, you can check the rough parameters directly online."

In the live broadcast, the blue plane is parked on the center line of the highway. In addition to the whole body paint reflecting light under the surrounding light sources, it is not far in front of the plane and has been built by the Red Bull team to guide the direction of the plane.

The indicator light strips happened to be all lit up at the same time by the staff.

After such a picture was presented in various live broadcast rooms, the refresh frequency of the barrage instantly increased.

“Red Bull’s team is still professional!”

"Just looking at it gives me the feeling that something big is going to happen."

"I just checked the general situation of this aircraft. There is not much else to say. There is one thing... it looks a bit scary."

"What happened?"

"Although this plane doesn't look big in the live broadcast, its wingspan is actually quite wide. I checked the width of the Mira Mountain Tunnel again and roughly calculated that if the plane flies into the Mira Mountain Tunnel and happens to be

If it is located in the middle of the tunnel road, the distance between its wings on both sides and the walls on both sides of the tunnel is only about four meters! And then there is the height. If the aircraft flies in the middle of the tunnel, the distance on both sides is less than two meters!"

"???"

"What a fool!"

"Is it so outrageous?"

"..."

Because one of the spectators found out the data of aircraft wingspan, tunnel width, aircraft height and tunnel height by querying information, other spectators were shocked by this data.

Once the plane flies into the Mira Mountain Tunnel, the plane can hardly change its direction.

The position of the aircraft must always be maintained in the middle of the tunnel. If there is a slight deviation, the aircraft will either hit the left and right walls of the tunnel, or hit the top of the tunnel or the road below.

The actual situation is that if the aircraft keeps flying at low altitude at high speed, it is difficult to achieve no flight trajectory deviation at all.

An airplane flying above the ground is completely different from a car driving on the ground with its tires stuck to the ground.

When the car is running on the ground, you just need to control the steering wheel so that the car always goes in a straight line.

But in this state of flying close to the ground, it is not that simple for the aircraft to always maintain a stable attitude.

Because when the aircraft is flying close to the ground, a special situation usually called ground effect will actually occur.

The so-called ground effect means that if the aircraft is close enough to the ground, water, etc., the pressure difference between the upper and lower pressure of the entire aircraft will suddenly increase, and the lift will suddenly increase a lot!

The general meaning is that if the aircraft flies in the air far away from the ground, the lift generated by the difference in upper and lower pressure can be stable.

But if the aircraft that was originally in the air suddenly gets close to the ground, and the air below has nowhere to go, then the lift will inevitably increase suddenly!

This sudden increase in lift is very scary for the pilot of the aircraft.

If no measures are taken, the aircraft flying upward with increased lift will inevitably hit the top of the tunnel overhead.

Therefore, the pilot of the aircraft must control the aircraft at the same time when this situation occurs, maintaining the stability of the aircraft's lift at all times and thus stabilizing the flight altitude.

This process will accompany the entire flight of the aircraft in the tunnel.

This also means that if Xiao Ning wants to complete this challenge without any accidents, after Xiao Ning flies in later, he must always try his best to stabilize the position of the aircraft in the tunnel and avoid any deviation as much as possible.

Move to appear!

Once the operation is slightly wrong, the plane will 100% hit the wall.

In the live broadcast room right now, some viewers are posting barrages to learn about all this with others.

During this process, Xiao Ning had actually been staring at the barrage.

Some of the viewers watching the live broadcast know this, and it is natural that Xiao Ning, who has taken the [Aircraft Pilot] skill directly to the master level, does not know it.

In fact, during the period when Xiao Ning had just upgraded his skills and entered the system simulation learning space, when Xiao Ning was simulating tunnel flight, he had numerous situations where he drove the plane into the wall.

And after having learned enough lessons from countless plane crashes, he no longer worried about what would happen if he actually entered the tunnel.

Xiao Ning is generally very confident about this challenge.
