Knocking wonders from the space station

Everyone arrived at an independent hangar at the airport. At this time, there was a spaceship parked in the center of the hangar. It was the Pelican transport ship that Lu Feng had just built.

This Pelican transport ship is painted in non-reflective black paint, with the Shen Tang Guard's golden dragon logo printed on its sides and wings, making it appear mysterious and cold.

The Pelican transport boat is a multi-functional air-to-ground aircraft mainly used to carry and transport personnel, vehicles and equipment, and as an armed gunboat to provide fire support to the ground.

The basic design includes a bow shaped like an armed helicopter, a spacious streamlined troop compartment, a high-raised tail, and four sets of S2-level fusion engines.

The bow of the boat is equipped with a cockpit, a fire control radar and an S3-sized chin gun. The troop transport compartment is equipped with 10 wide seats, which can accommodate up to 20 soldiers wearing power armor, cargo within 70 tons, or

It's to plug in a light tank.

There are a variety of modification options for the troop transport compartment. You can install remote-controlled turrets on both sides of the belly to turn it into an armed gunboat, or you can install turrets on the back of the spacecraft to enhance its air combat capabilities, etc.

There is also an external hardpoint under the high-rise tail, which can also mount a light tank for rapid deployment, but the weight must be within the 70-ton payload.

The Pelican class has two pairs of short wings. At the wing roots are four fusion engines used to provide power. All engines can rotate 90° to provide lift for the Pelican's actions in the atmosphere. The built-in system will

The propeller status is adjusted according to cargo changes and environmental coefficients to ensure a stable flight attitude.

The fuselage adopts a streamlined design to reduce wind resistance. If necessary, 4 additional attachment points can be provided under the short wings for mounting rockets, missiles or expansion pods.

The engine of the standard Pelican is composed of a vector thrust fusion ramjet rocket and an air-breathing supercharger, and is divided into two main engine nacelles and two secondary articulated engine nacelles.

An engine of this design requires hydrogen as a reaction material, and its flight performance in the atmosphere is no worse than that of an ion engine of the same level, but the cost is half the price!

The disadvantages are not without. This engine makes the fuselage more bloated and heavier, reducing the thrust-to-weight ratio.

This loss in performance is completely negligible in terms of mass production cost and construction speed. In the eyes of purchasers, they buy the Pelican just to project troops, not to compete with fighter jets at speed.

The lower the cost of a single aircraft, the more Pelicans they can equip and deploy more troops, instead of worrying about which Pelican will be overtaken by the Eagles because it is too fat.

Of course, Halo Power has also launched an elite model for customers in need, which is the Pelican D99 manufactured by Lu Feng.

Although the design style of this Pelican still has traces of the original, its appearance has become much more slender and elegant. More than half of the internal equipment has been upgraded. It is an expensive customized model that has been completely overhauled.

The cockpit of this D99 is arranged longitudinally to be more convenient for combat. All flight controls are completed by a fully automatic light-sensing flight system without manual operation. Weapons are controlled through an integrated helmet and sighting system and are connected to the pilot's HUD.

, allowing them to aim and fire through head movement.

Compared with the basic fire control system, it is faster and more accurate.

Although the d99 looks much slender than the standard model, its carrying capacity has not been reduced at all.

While the size of the cargo compartment remains unchanged, the fuselage has been stretched by 2 meters to 32.5 meters; the wingspan has dropped from the original 23.3 to 21.6 meters, and the height has remained unchanged at 10 meters. The overall shape is more beautiful and smooth, and the wind resistance has also become better.

Low.

The fuselage uses full S2-level nanocomposite armor, the defense level has increased from 1.6 to 1.8, and it is lighter.

The internal circuits and avionics equipment are all replaced with cutting-edge products from Goblin Heavy Industries, which have stronger electronic warfare capabilities and resistance to electromagnetic shock, as well as better heat resistance and stability.

All four engines have been replaced with ion engines from the Interstellar Manufacturing Group, which has improved performance by 20% and can rotate 360°, allowing it to do somersaults in the atmosphere.

The load capacity has increased to 100 tons, and the belly can carry standard containers, super-heavy main battle tanks or base modules.

The bow turret was replaced with a 20mm three-barreled blaster produced by Kuat Power Shipyard, with a power of 1.8. When it hits the target, it will explode violently, causing range damage, and is suitable for indiscriminate bombing of ground targets.

The number of wing hardpoints has been increased to 6, and the tail hardpoint has been canceled and replaced by a folding pod equipped with a 30mm electromagnetic gun. While transporting troops, it can attack pursuers and provide ground support without the need for

Modified again.

The original price of such a customized Elite Pelican was 10 times that of the regular version. Even if Lu Feng produced it, the source energy consumed would be three times that of the standard version.

However, compared to the lives of his men, Lu Feng would rather spend more resources.

Although this D99 looks like it was specially designed by Halo Airlines to harm wealthy people, using imported equipment from many different companies, it has to be said that the designers responsible for the D99 integrated and tuned these foreign systems very well, making the D99

It's totally worth 10 times its price.

This was one of the reasons why Lu Feng was willing to choose it. He didn't want the spacecraft he was riding to have frequent malfunctions.

Lu Feng and his party boarded the D99's spacious and advanced cargo bay for a tour. Since the pilots were on standby at the defense line, Lu Feng also served as the driver himself and led a group of researchers around the space city twice.

The ride experience surprised everyone.

This type of spaceship is not so much a military transport aircraft as it is a private spacecraft manufactured in accordance with military standards. There are very few bumps during the entire journey, and there is no noise in the cabin. The inertia compensation system allows passengers to hardly feel the acceleration and deceleration process.

Very comfortable.

Lu Feng and Lin Yuexi, who were in charge of driving, also recognized the control performance of the D99. The cockpit view is very wide, and the flight control and fire control systems are also OK. Although the combat performance is not as good as the dedicated Blade interceptor, it is comparable to the Saber.

There is no problem in comparing.

Of course, both of them are used to driving S-class illusions, so it is not surprising that they are not as amazed by the D99 as Peng Guangjie and others.

In short, everyone is very satisfied with this type of transport boat and speaks highly of it.

Lu Feng designated the Pelican D99 as the special transport vehicle for the Shen Tang Guard at this stage, equipping the fleet in large numbers to replace the backward AAL transport boats.

With the size of the D99, the current Polaris hangar can accommodate one aircraft, just fold the wings.

The future Modao-class destroyer can accommodate two aircraft in the hangar, which will replace the original Valkyrie transport boat and become the exclusive vehicle of the Shentang Marines.

The blueprint was solved relatively perfectly, and it was time for Lu Feng and the others to return.

Yes, you still have to rush out of the drone swarm!
