Through the unremitting efforts of several generations of aviation personnel, China's aerospace industry has made achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. April 24th is China's Aerospace Day, let's walk into the model aircraft club of Suqian University and meet a group of college students who are swaying their youth in the land of Xichu and also have the dream of flying.
In the afternoon, in the sports playground of Suqian University, several members of the model airplane club are carrying out daily model airplane control exercises, due to the upcoming large-scale events, it is essential to strengthen the testing of new design models and aerobatic training.
Yang Yucheng, technical director of the Suqian University Model Aircraft Society, said: "The aircraft we are flying now is a type of straight board machine, and it is one of the most entry-level models. During the race, the wind conditions are uncertain, and we can only cope with all kinds of unexpected situations if we are fully skilled in our own skills. ”
Hovering, turning, flipping...... Under the skillful control of the members, the model airplanes that took off quickly climbed up, and then, they drew a beautiful arc in the air and made various difficult movements. Although Yang Yucheng, a first-year student, has been in the company for a short time, he has been concerned about the aerospace industry since he was a child, and now he has become the technical director of the model aircraft club.
Yang Yucheng, technical director of the Suqian University Model Aircraft Society, said: "After all, it is a boy, and there is always a dream of wanting to fly into the sky. What I'm best at is actually controlling the number of laps the plane, and the best time should be to drill for about 37 laps in a minute or so. ”
According to Yang, model airplanes are usually made of lightweight materials to maintain their flexibility and lightness in the air, which also makes them more susceptible to damage in the event of an impact or accident.
Yang Yucheng, technical director of the Suqian University Model Aircraft Society, said: "Because we have a relatively strong wind today, in the process of turning straight just now, the attributes of the straight board machine are not high, resulting in it rolling over too seriously, being blown directly to the ground, and the fuselage is bursting, so we are now working together to repair and prepare for the second training flight, which is very prone to this kind of emergency situation in the flight of the model aircraft." ”
Model airplane flight is inseparable from technological innovation. In addition to one to two hours of model aircraft control training every day, the members will also conduct an hour of design innovation research in the studio of the model aircraft club. 21-year-old Li Yanji is the technical director of the model airplane club, he has a dream of aerospace since he was a child, he loves to study model airplane design very much, and what technical problems the members encounter in the daily training and competition process, as long as they find him, they can be solved one by one.
Li Yanji, the technical director of the Suqian University Model Aircraft Society, said: "The aerospace industry is very great, although we as college students, although we can't make real spacecraft, but we can do model aircraft, drones and other fields, we can rely on our own learning, to design, to make some drones, or to improve our existing things." ”
Through the independent design of the model airplane fuselage and reduction shaft and other accessories structure, combined with aerodynamics, radio, structural mechanics and other disciplines, the members have designed a number of excellent model airplanes, which can participate in daily exhibitions and some large-scale competitions. With the support of the school, the model aircraft club often goes out to participate in competitions and exhibitions, and has won a good ranking.
Li Gaolei, a counselor from the School of Information Engineering of Suqian University, said: "The school level will give more attention and support to teams like the model aircraft club, stimulate their enthusiasm for knowledge and exploration, and strive for more honors for Suqian." ”
The students of the Model Aircraft Club used their stories of struggle to show the demeanor of youth and the spirit of scientific and technological innovation. On this special day of Space Day, let us praise their youthful dreams and look forward to them creating more brilliance in the days to come.
