New horizons
The annual National People's Congress and the National People's Congress have always been an important window to observe China's development and policy trends. Let's hear from the delegates who attended the conference, and what new trends in aerospace technology were revealed in the interviews.

Specially curated
In this issue, let's explore "Super Racing" together!
What are the "black technologies" of F1 cars?
Streamlined sideboxes, exposed suspension, exaggerated front and rear wings, and uniquely shaped engine air intakes all make a statement of Formula 1's special status: the fastest internal combustion engine car on the planet.
What are the "black technologies" used in Formula 1 cars in pursuit of speed, and how do they work?
How does an Formula 1 car keep drivers safe?
From the safety devices on the car, to the protections on the drivers, to the safety measures for the event, there are many safety measures that work together to keep the drivers safe!
The fastest race car
Get up close to F1, the world's highest level of motorsport
Did you know that there is a special sporting event, in terms of scale and popularity, which can be tied with the Olympic Games and the World Cup, and the number of viewers is tens of billions every year.
This is the Formula One World Championship. What kind of competition is it, and what is its unique charm?
F1 Shanghai Race Guide
If you love F1 and want to see it in person, you're in luck and can make it happen. Because, F1 will start at the Shanghai International Circuit, and this excitement will continue for many years!
The first F1 Grand Prix held at the Shanghai International Circuit dates back to September 2004. It was the first "three major sporting events in the world" to be held in China.

Military Eye
During the Second World War, the pilots of the British Royal Air Force flew a variety of fighter planes and successfully defended British airspace.
These include well-known and legendary aircraft, such as the Spitfire, to lesser-known but equally skilled aircraft, such as today's protagonist, the Tempest.
01
Successor to the "Typhoon".
The "Tempest" fighter is an improved fighter developed by the British Hawker Company on the basis of the "Typhoon" fighter. It builds on its predecessor with an optimized fuselage and wing shape, and a high-horsepower engine and four-bladed propeller, resulting in a huge increase in speed and agility. During World War II, the Tempest fighter was one of the fastest aircraft flying at low altitudes.
02
"Round-jawed" fighter
The most obvious feature of the "Tempest" fighter is its unique circular device under the nose. This device is inherited from the previous "Typhoon" and serves as the radiator of the engine. The advantage of the "round chin" is that it is highly efficient in heat dissipation, which facilitates the installation of more powerful engines. But at the same time, because of the large cross-sectional area and high drag, the "round chin" will affect the speed performance of the aircraft.
03
Early "fighter-bombers"
The Tempest was originally an air superior, but the RAF began to use it for bombing missions due to its good low-altitude flight performance, its ability to dive, pull up and hover quickly, and its excellent wing structure strength to carry heavier loads. After dropping the bomb, the "Tempest" can still conduct air combat and return to its own job as a fighter.

Interceptor missiles
The Tempest's low-altitude speed comes in handy, as it can easily catch up with the missile and "fan" turbulence through the wingtips, causing the missile to roll and unstable.
5
The "storm" is back in the rivers and lakes
More than 70 years after the end of World War II, the British company BAE announced that it would name the next generation of advanced fighter jets being developed in the United Kingdom "Tempest", and cooperate with many countries to jointly develop them. What kind of aircraft will the new generation of "Tempest" be? Let's wait and see.

Hardcore technology
The largest rocket in history
At 21:25 Beijing time on March 14, the third test flight of the "Super-Heavy Starship" heavy rocket of the American Space Exploration Technology Corporation (SpaceX) was carried out.
The "super-heavy" rocket lost control during the return landing and failed to fall into the sea completely, and the "Starship" spacecraft also disintegrated when it re-entered to an altitude of 65 kilometers. Nevertheless, the test flight is a milestone breakthrough in the history of human spaceflight. Today we will take a look at what kind of rocket this is.
The "Super Heavy Starship" is the largest rocket system in history composed of "super heavy" rockets and "Starship" spacecraft, and is generally referred to as "Starship". The disruptive project was proposed in 2016 by Elon Musk's SpaceX. Developed for the great vision of "colonizing Mars" and "making humanity a multi-planetary species", this heavy-duty space transportation system has a fully reusable and ultra-large carrying capacity, and can carry out commercial space launch missions in low-Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond.

Aerospace Expo
What? Can missiles extinguish fires?
In the depths of the vast Gobi, a missile was launched from the barrel, and after climbing vertically to a certain height, the engine ignited, and the bullet-tail gas rudder deflected the missile body, dragging the missile with a long tail flame, and pounced on the airspace where the target was located in a big maneuver. In a flash of light, the missile approached the target, and the debris and shock wave from the explosion destroyed it in one fell swoop. This may be the working scene of missiles in most people's minds.
In fact, some missiles also have a kind of "side business" to extinguish fires one by one, extinguishing the kind of fires that even the ladder fire trucks can't do anything about.
The secret of runway lighting
"Questions" will take you to see the airport terminal, runway number and logo, how to plan the route, etc. Today, I will take you to see a special installation about the airport - runway lights.
On a daily plane trip, passengers sitting at the window may see various lights on the taxiway when the plane is taxiing on the ground. But the most sophisticated and complex runway lights are not visible to passengers sitting in the cabin.
You must know that runway lighting plays an extremely important role in flight safety, and the complex lighting system can escort the safe take-off and landing of each aircraft.
