Chapter 1380 Phoenix Wings

It is smooth all over, and the surface lines are a smooth curve no matter which direction you look at it. The smooth and bright paint surface can even reflect the silhouette of a person.

The cab is like a raised bubble, completely wrapped in flawless glass, which obviously takes into account the impact of airflow during high-speed flight. The cockpit is located quite far back, with the tail end of the bubble slightly higher than the front end and smoothly integrated into the body. The benefits of such a layout are clear at a glance. The low front and high rear can significantly improve the driver's field of vision. The converging curve of the glass cover is combined with the tail rudder, making the body look very clean and neat, and all parts are integrated.

The biggest difference of the new aircraft, and a feature that no student will ignore, is that there is no propeller at the nose!

Without the flat engine, the entire head finally converges into a sharp cone, giving the impression of piercing clouds and waves. Most of the fuselage is painted a bright orange-red, making it look like a slender flame. A few embellished white lines run from head to tail, making the fuselage full of vitality.

Even a layman who knows nothing about flying can feel the elegance and beauty of its silhouette.

The first time she saw the new plane, Tilly found that she had fallen in love with it.

But...how on earth can this plane fly without propellers?

Not only Tilly, this was also the thought of most people at the scene.

This question was not answered until the other two cargo boxes were opened.

The wings and tail are enclosed in the No. 2 iron box. In terms of quantity, it only has one pair of wings, instead of having a pair of main wings up and down like the Skyfire. There are two symmetrical interfaces under the wing surface, which are obviously reserved for other large components.

The last cargo box contains two engines.

But if we say it is just an engine, its size would be a bit too big.

Compared with the one on the Skyfire, it is more like an integrated whole that can be replaced at any time. The attentive Tilly has noticed that its surface is painted in the same red as the body, with many inspection ports distributed on it, and the propeller shaft There were dark weapons installed in the hole below.

Thinking of the interfaces reserved on the wings, the general appearance of the new aircraft gradually emerged in her mind.

The fuselage is no longer responsible for the power system. The slender single wing is located under the fuselage, further reducing resistance; the two engines are distributed on both sides of the wing, giving the aircraft double thrust...

She can't wait to get on it and experience it!

"By the way," Moriel dug in her pocket and pulled out a letter, "Your Majesty sent this with the goods. It says on the envelope that it must be opened by you."

Tilly took out the letter and spread it in her hands.

"Dear sister."

"This is the gift I promised, I hope it will satisfy you."

"The detailed introduction and specific parameters about it are all in the instruction manual in the cockpit, but I think you will most likely not read it carefully, but will rush straight to the topic."

"If it can fly now, then you will probably read this letter after the flight - which is why I specially sent it to the morning light. At least while the workers are assembling it, you can have time to read it first. Instruction Manual."

"After all, it has a completely different structure and characteristics from the Skyfire. Even if you are a transcendent, there is no harm in fully understanding it before taking off."

What... Tilly curled her lips in embarrassment, is she so easy to understand?

"What did your Majesty say? I also want to see..." Moriel leaned over.

She quickly turned sideways, blocking the other party's view, "Well, it's actually all nonsense, so don't look at it."

"Eh--"

"Want a Chaos drink?"

"think!"

"Go to my office and get it."

Tilly pointed her finger, and Moriel immediately ran happily in the direction she pointed.

She sighed softly and returned her gaze to the letter.

"Also, it's about the name of this plane."

"I originally wanted to use the previous title of unicorn, but I always felt that it was different from the red lightning that dominated the sky, so I simply changed it to a new name."

That was a term that Tilly had never seen before - there was no doubt that it was coined by Roland.

She tried to read it.

"Phoenix..."

"Where we live, the phoenix is ​​a sacred bird that is always associated with fire and goes well with the color red. Of course, the most important thing is that it is said that the phoenix is ​​immortal and will produce a golden cocoon every four thousand six hundred days. Six hundred days later, he emerged from the cocoon and was reborn."

"This is what I want to say - no matter what kind of enemy you face, I hope you can come back alive."

"Like a phoenix."

"I will bring you the ashes, so you must keep your promise."

"We made an agreement, didn't we?"

For some reason, Tilly suddenly felt a little sore in her eyes.

She blinked hard, held back the surging warmth, and took a deep breath.

"Is the Phoenix immortal..." She murmured in a voice that only she could hear, "It's a good name. I accept this gift, brother."

"...Your Highness?" the guard asked doubtfully.

"Nothing," Tilly raised her hand and said, "Inform the ground crew and let them install the Phoenix as quickly as possible. I can't wait for the test flight."

…

Three days later, the assembled new aircraft rolled out of the hangar and slowly slid onto the runway.

"Oh? This is the special machine you mentioned? It does look very good. "

Listen to the sound of lightning coming from the sigil.

Tilly raised her head - through the glass hatch, she could clearly see the exploring duo hovering in the sky. As the Phoenix's first flight, she specially called Lightning and Maisie to prevent any accidents.

It has to be said that the interior design of this aircraft is even better than the exterior.

When she is placed in the cockpit, it even gives the illusion that it is not a pure war machine. For example, the seats are thicker and softer, and you will not feel back pain when driving for a long time; various levers and buttons are present The control feedback makes it more convenient to use; there is also a slot specially reserved for listening to the sigil, so you can easily talk to multiple holders even during combat.

It does look more like a plane designed specifically for her than the Unicorn.

"Would you like to see who can fly faster later?" Tilly replied with a smile.

"Forget it, the previous Skyfire couldn't even compare to Maisie's petrel form, let alone me." Lightning's tone revealed undisguised pride, "Am I right?"

"That's right, even I can't compare to Gu!"

"How can you know the result if you don't give it a try?" Tilly increased the accelerator, and the roar of the engines on both sides suddenly increased. Compared to the slow acceleration of the Skyfire, the Phoenix's fuselage was as light as weightless. The surrounding scenery quickly receded. She lightly touched the main pole, and the aircraft had already raised its head and roared into the sky. .
