At an altitude of 2,000 feet, Xu Cang winked at Shi Qi, who immediately understood and started broadcasting to the passengers to inform them that the cabin was about to make an emergency descent.
Even through the cabin door, Xu Cang could hear the chaotic noise behind, as if the cabin at the back was not prepared.
There was no other way. Xu Cang had originally planned to make a steady descent, which would take about ten minutes. But in order to slightly adjust the descent rate, Xu Cang increased the throttle very slightly, which caused the dying No. 2 engine to die.
Xu Cang was not the kind of person who would leave everything to fate. Unable to suppress the over-limit of the No. 2 engine by slightly reducing the throttle, Xu Cang simply reduced the thrust of the No. 2 engine to a state close to slow speed.
At slow thrust, the over-limit state of the No. 2 engine was quickly suppressed. Of course, this does not mean that the fault of the No. 2 engine has been truly solved, but it has simply been hidden. When the thrust is increased again, this problem will easily reappear.
Although the over-limit of the No. 2 engine was temporarily suppressed, the aircraft's descent rate began to increase with almost no power. However, Xu Cang's idea was very simple. He asked Shi Qi to continuously lower the flaps to delay the process of a high descent rate as much as possible.
The only thing to be thankful for is that when making an emergency landing on water, the aircraft does not need to lower the landing gear, which means they do not have to face a major source of air resistance.
However, releasing the flaps to slow down the rate of descent was only a delaying tactic. Xu Cang knew that he would most likely complete an emergency landing before sunrise, which required him to maintain sufficient power to adjust the aircraft's attitude before entering the water.
Therefore, he simply gave up maintaining the descent rate and instead tried to keep the No. 2 engine alive, allowing it to perform its final brilliance before entering the water.
However, roughly shutting down the No. 2 engine would make the subsequent aircraft's descent rate difficult to control, and even with the flaps' effect of slowing down descent, the average descent rate was still much greater than before. This resulted in the cabin preparation time being shorter than the ten minutes Xu Cang had previously mentioned.
Not long ago, Xu Cang realized that he would enter the water early, and quickly informed the chief purser, which disrupted his plans and made the cabin a mess. He didn't want this to happen, but the facts did not allow it.
"Should we wait a while in the back? It looks like they are a little late." After broadcasting to the passengers informing them that an emergency water landing would be taking place soon, Shi Qi could clearly feel that the noise in the cabin at the back was becoming more and more obvious.
At this moment, the No. 2 engine is still maintaining slow thrust, and no details have been given. It can only be said that the desperate move of bringing the No. 2 engine back to slow speed has some effect. At least during this period, the vibration values ​​of N1 and N2 have dropped to five, the theoretical limit value.
Shi Qi meant to increase the throttle slightly, control the rate of descent, and slightly delay the subsequent entry into the water. But Xu Cang directly refused: "No, the power of the second engine must be reserved for the final adjustment of the entry into the water."
Even though the vibration value of Engine No. 2 seemed to have been reduced to the limit, Xu Cang had a very strong feeling that if the thrust was added back in a while, it would be the last ray of hope for Engine No. 2.
Shi Qi couldn't help but worry: "What if it's too late later?"
"They will make it in time." Xu Cang gripped the side stick tightly with his right hand, and his knuckles began to turn white from excessive force.
At this moment, on the sea dam, Shi Lingling looked at the plane that was getting closer and closer to the sea, and her face became more gloomy. If she saw the plane descending just now, it might just be adjusting the altitude, but now Shi Lingling could be sure that Xu Cang and his men were really going to make an emergency landing in advance.
"What do they want to do?" Shi Lingling said solemnly, "There are still three minutes left before sunrise. Can't they wait even three minutes?"
Li Rongxian stood beside Shi Lingling. He did not respond to Shi Lingling's words, but looked at the flashing lights of the plane in the sky with some surprise. The lights on the plane not only show the position of the plane, but also reveal the approximate direction of the plane's flight.
The existence of navigation lights is stipulated in the internationally accepted navigation light group, that is, three lights of different colors are installed at the wing tips and the tail tip to assist other aircraft in judging their own positions and movement trends at night.
Because the regulations require the left wing tip to be red, the right side to be green, and the tail tip to be white, different light color combinations can be presented when viewed from different angles.
For example, when flying in the opposite direction, the light display should be green on the left and red on the right. If you can only see red lights, the plane is flying from right to left.
At this moment, Li Rongxian could only see the red light flashing, which meant that Xu Cang was flying towards his left, and from his physical sensation, it seemed that the wind was coming from his left.
If it flies like this, then when it finally enters the water, it will be against the wind and waves. Is this a reasonable way to enter the water? How did Li Rongxian remember that the forced landing on the water should follow the waves? Did he remember it wrong?
Shi Lingling, who had been worried all the time, finally couldn't help but asked into the intercom: "Did you guys make an emergency landing ahead of schedule? Did something go wrong?"
This voice fell in the cockpit, and Xu Cang shouted coldly: "Don't answer, concentrate on preparation."
At this moment, the plane was only a thousand feet away, and a water landing would only take a moment. Shi Qi followed Xu Cang's words and did not reply to his daughter.
Once one problem is explained, there will be more problems. The current situation cannot be explained in just one or two sentences, such as the use of the No. 2 engine.
In fact, even Xu Cang himself didn't know whether his method of preserving the No. 2 engine at high altitude was right or not. He should just reduce the No. 2 engine's thrust to a relatively small value in the hope that the No. 2 engine could survive.
At this time in the Qizhou tower control room, the duty chief was standing beside the control seat with great anxiety. He sat for a while and then stood up again, feeling restless and agitated.
"Director, their emergency landing time has been advanced." The assistant reminded the duty director in a low voice. They also heard what Shi Lingling said on the frequency just now, and even Shi Lingling observed it visually, which meant that the crew was going to make an emergency landing.
Judging from the radar screen, their altitude was no more than one thousand feet, and an emergency landing at this altitude only took a moment, which obviously did not match the sunrise time previously provided to the crew.
Although it was only two or three minutes earlier, the difference between the sun and the sky and the earth was huge. Was the crew in such a hurry?
"Maybe the crew encountered some other problems." The duty manager responded casually, and his eyes fell on the wind bag under the light at the edge of the runway below.
The assistant soon realized that the duty director was a little absent-minded and called out softly, "Director?"
The duty officer hummed, then pointed uncertainly at the wind bag below: "I remember it was blowing north wind before, right?"
"Huh?" The assistant didn't know how to answer for a moment. He really didn't notice the problem of wind direction.
However, the duty officer slapped the controller on the shoulder and asked, "What is the lowest altitude of the aircraft circling and waiting in the airport area now?"
Because the crew of Flight 9451 declared a state of emergency, all aircraft on the ground stopped taking off, and all approaching aircraft circled and waited to give way to Flight 9451. Even after Flight 9451 decided to make an emergency landing near the coast, airport control did not allow other aircraft to land until Flight 9451 was sure that the emergency landing was completed.
"Director, this..." The controller was shocked to see his director looking so ferocious, but he still glanced at the radar screen: "The lowest is Muhua 1221, now at an altitude of 1,200 meters."
As the controller said this, the duty officer grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Muhua 1221, report the current wind direction. No, is it the north wind or the south wind?"
"North Wind, Muhua 1221, is there any problem?" Seeing the controller so anxious, the crew of Muhua 1221 also became suspicious.
"North wind, north wind, why is it the north wind?" The duty director muttered to himself, looking at the direction of movement of plane 9451 on the radar screen. The expression on his face almost froze in an instant, because he saw that plane 9451 was flying to the south, and at this moment the aircraft's altitude was less than 500 feet. This should be the direction chosen by the crew for the emergency landing on the water.
The north wind blows from north to south, so the waves are naturally heading south. The forced landing on the water follows the waves, which is the correct direction. But the problem is that in the low-altitude environment, the wind direction has turned nearly 180 degrees and turned to the south, and everything is reversed.
"No, no, the wind direction changed drastically at low altitude, and the forced landing direction was wrong!" He didn't know why the crew hadn't realized that the wind direction had changed at such a low altitude. Logically, he remembered that the real-time wind direction and speed could be displayed on the plane.
Almost at the moment when the duty director was shocked, the plane's altitude had exceeded 200 feet, which means it was only 60 meters from the water surface, which is already a very low altitude.
Just when the duty director wanted to remind the crew on the frequency, Li Rongxian's voice was the first to sound, and he almost roared: "Xu Cang, it's the other way around, it's the other way around! The wind is going to the right... No! It's the south wind, it's turning to the south!"
Li Rongxian was so excited that he even forgot how to express the direction of the wind, and instead distinguished it by left and right.
Beside Li Rongxian, Shi Lingling looked at the hoarse Li Rongxian in disbelief, her body already stiff. Just now, Li Rongxian snatched the intercom from her hand without warning, she didn't know what happened, but when Li Rongxian told her everything, Shi Lingling finally reacted.
Strictly speaking, Shi Lingling is just a reporter who has some knowledge of flying, but definitely not enough to rely on navigation lights to determine the direction of an aircraft's movement.
In her mind, the only problem was the early emergency landing itself, and the rest was beyond her ability. But after Li Rongxian's reminder, Shi Lingling reacted immediately.
"South wind, south wind, has the wind changed direction?"
After hearing Li Rongxian's words, the duty director confirmed them and without hesitation, he shouted into the microphone: "Xu Cang, the low-altitude wind direction has changed, and your forced landing direction is wrong!"
"What?" Shi Qi was shocked. When he heard the two people's reminders, they were less than a hundred feet away.
However, when he noticed the wind direction and speed displayed on the navigation page again, although there was a slight difference, it was probably still the north wind. Why did they all say it was the south wind?
What should I do? Who should I trust?
Should I trust the instrument or the reminder on the radio?
Pilots are used to believing in the instruments subconsciously, but the problem is that although the altitude is already very low, there is still a certain possibility that the wind will deflect sharply at a lower altitude.
That is to say, there is a deviation in wind direction in vertical space!
However, the information from Li Rongxian and the tower was not necessarily correct. It was true that their altitude was close to the lowest point, and from a vertical height perspective, there was absolutely no problem.
However, they are not directly below the aircraft, and the winds at different locations may be different even if they are not very far apart.
This is the deviation of wind direction in horizontal space!
Whether it was the instruments or the people, the information they provided was incomplete and could be wrong. However, at this moment, Xu Cang had to make a choice. If he dropped any further, he would most likely not be able to turn around.
For a large passenger aircraft like the Airbus 320, a 180-degree turn takes a very long time. Given the condition of the No. 2 engine, it is estimated that it only has one breath left, and it is impossible for the aircraft to maintain an ultra-low altitude and complete a large-angle turn at the same time.
You know, when the plane turns, due to the decomposition of lift, under the same conditions, the thrust when turning will be greater. How can the No. 2 engine support it?
They no longer had time to hesitate and had to make a choice, but the road ahead seemed like a fog and Shi Qi had no idea what to do.
"No matter what! Keep going!" Just when Shi Qi didn't know what to do, Xu Cang made the final decision. He didn't believe in everything, he only believed in himself.
Seeing this, Shi Qi clenched his hands into fists involuntarily. He said nothing more, but followed Xu Cang's instructions and continued to descend.
At this moment, the plane was no more than 80 feet away, and under the light of the landing lights, the ups and downs of the sea surface could be vaguely seen. However, the landing lights, which were usually bright, seemed to be stuck in the dark mud at this time, and could not illuminate the clear conditions of the sea surface at all.
"Further descending!?" Shi Qi was so nervous that his breathing stopped. However, Xu Cang did not seem to want to change, and the wind direction and speed indicators still showed no obvious changes.
Could it be that the information provided by the tower was wrong?
At this moment, Wang Baotian, who was sitting in the first class cabin, was always paying attention to the outside world. He seemed to be able to hear the faint sound of the sea waves from a very low place.
"Are we going into the water?" the old instructor next to him asked nervously to Wang Baotian who had been looking outside.
Not only these twenty-odd meritorious pilots, but also the crew and everyone in the cabin were experiencing the same emotion. At this moment, there was only the sound of breathing in the entire plane.
At this moment, Wang Baotian, who had been paying attention to the outside, suddenly uttered a light exclamation. Then, after a brief shock, Wang Baotian's face couldn't help but reveal a look of horror.
Above the seawall, from a distance, the plane still showed no intention of turning its nose, which made Li Rongxian's mind go blank. He didn't know whether his words did not reach the cockpit, or if something went wrong.
"Too late, too late!" If there was a problem with the No. 2 engine, then the plane might have been without power at this moment. At such a low altitude, even if the crew realized that there was a problem with the direction of the water landing, it would be impossible to turn back. Even if the plane ran out of energy during the turn, it would either fall into the sea or stall, and then the plane would lose control and sink uncontrollably into the sea. The outcome would be the same.
Hearing Li Rongxian's murmurs, Shi Lingling immediately understood and her face turned pale in an instant.
And above the tower, the duty officer roared: "What on earth are the crew doing? Can't they hear us?"
Fifty feet away, the clouds moved and the stars shone in the sky. The five big stars that were radiating silver light were finally unobstructed, illuminating the originally inky black, quagmire-like abyss with a hint of transparency.
At this moment, the starlight fell into the cockpit through the windshield, dyeing the surface of all the instruments with a layer of silver, and Shi Qi's face was also painted with a pale white that spread infinite fear.
Because of the starlight, he was finally able to see the conditions on the sea surface clearly.
“It’s really a rebellion!”
The wind was strong and the waves were high on the sea. However, from what one could see, they were not going with the waves at all, but clearly going against them. If they went any further, they would definitely be hit by the waves, and the plane would be destroyed and everyone on board would die!
However, their altitude was already too low. Even if they increased the thrust of the No. 2 engine to full at this moment, they would still enter the water due to inertia.
"It's over!"
For a moment, Shi Qi almost lost the ability to think. But even at this moment, Xu Cang still did not make any move, not even a slight push.
Shi Qi couldn't understand why Xu Cang allowed all this to happen, but it was meaningless at this point because the ending was already determined anyway.
Just when Shi Qi was able to get a rough visual picture of the sea conditions, the wind direction on the navigation page suddenly made a circle, changing from a tailwind to a headwind almost in the blink of an eye.
Shi Qi saw all these changes. It was hard for him to imagine that the wind direction could change so drastically at an ultra-low altitude of less than fifty feet.
The tower was right, and Li Rongxian was right, but they didn't believe it!
For some reason, Shi Qi suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He did not blame Xu Cang, but felt powerless at the moment. Not long ago, he still remembered clearly his hesitation about the information provided by the tower and Li Rongxian. At that time, he did not know what to do, and he obeyed Xu Cang's approach and did not take timely measures.
Everyone will regret, but there is no medicine for regret!
In the eyes of Li Rongxian and Shi Lingling, the plane was almost touching the sea surface, and it would only take a moment for the plane to make an emergency landing. Shi Lingling, who saw this, took a step back and leaned on the car to stabilize himself. As for Li Rongxian, his face was ashen. Airbus had only entered this market a few years ago. If there was a plane crash this time, Airbus's future here would be devastated, and he, the head of the Asia-Pacific region, would be in the same boat with all the others.
However, just when everyone was about to give up hope, Xu Cang remained calm. That's right, both visual observation and instrumentation showed that the wind direction had indeed changed dramatically.
In everyone's eyes, the plane had no chance to turn around in this situation. But Xu Cang would never do something that had no chance to turn around.
Indeed, at such a life-and-death moment, so close that one could almost smell the breath of death, but Xu Cang's hand on the thrust handle of the No. 2 engine remained motionless.
It's not time yet, not yet the moment to make that final blow!
In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Cang was facing an unsolvable death situation due to a wrong decision. But in Xu Cang's eyes, everything was just in his plan.
Why is he better than others? Because others are limited by their knowledge and skills and can only see a small leaf, but he sees everything!
Just when the plane was about to crash into the waves, the sudden change in wind caused the airflow environment faced by the plane to suddenly change from tailwind to headwind, and the aerodynamic performance was greatly optimized in an instant.
When the throttle was not moved, the plane not only stopped its downward trend, but even generated a slight upward momentum, increasing its altitude slightly from fifty feet to nearly one hundred feet.
On the control radar of the tower, the duty chief clearly saw that the altitude of flight 9451 had been decreasing in the early stages. However, for the first time, at such a low altitude, the aircraft actually turned from descending to ascending, which made the duty chief gasp.
From the perspective of Shi Lingling and Li Rongxian, they did not see it so accurately, but they felt that the plane was flying over the sea.
"What's going on?" Shi Qi, who had given up everything, suddenly noticed this change and was immediately incredulous. But when he looked at Xu Cang's profile that was as frozen as ice for thousands of years, Shi Qi's mind turned over a thousand times.
He was not a rookie who knew nothing, but an extremely experienced instructor. Instantly, Shi Qi felt a chill down his spine. Indeed, if we infer from the results, it was obviously a wrong choice not to respond when receiving the information from the control tower and Li Rongxian.
But at that time, there was no information to prove it, and it was just a gamble to believe in the tower and Li Rongxian or the instrument. However, Xu Cang said that he never gambled.
Everyone was afraid of the sudden change in low-altitude wind, but Xu Cang took that wind into account in his calculations.
If the instrument is correct, then of course the emergency landing will continue without any changes. But if the information from the tower and Li Rongxian is correct, then there is no doubt that at a certain ultra-low altitude, the wind will change from tailwind to headwind in a short period of time, which will greatly increase the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft in a short period of time.
This is why airplanes have to take off and land against the wind.
When the aerodynamic performance is greatly increased, the aircraft can stop its falling trend and have a chance to turn its nose direction again.
At that moment, Shi Qi was so confused, not knowing how to make a choice, as if the road ahead was shrouded in fog and he couldn't move forward. But Xu Cang saw through everything, saw through the fog that didn't actually exist.
The so-called unsolvable problem only exists for ordinary people like them.
At this moment, Shi Qi felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his heart was about to explode. He had seen Xu Cang's miraculous skills in landing on the Jade Dragon, and he knew that was the pinnacle of all flying skills. But when he really experienced the horror of Xu Cang's meticulous planning, he still couldn't help but feel his heart shaken and couldn't control himself.
As the plane's altitude returns to about one hundred feet, it will no longer increase in altitude because at higher altitudes, the wind is still from the north and the increased aerodynamic performance will disappear. One hundred feet is the limit of the plane.
Xu Cang bared his teeth, he knew it was time to take action.
So, Xu Cang began to slowly increase the thrust of the No. 2 engine, while operating the side stick to turn the plane to the left.
There are some tricks to this turning direction, and it is not just left or right. Due to the thrust of the No. 2 engine, the aircraft will naturally lean to the left, so turning left will increase the efficiency of the turn, but if you turn right, the thrust difference will restrict the turning speed of the aircraft. At this critical moment, it is most urgent to complete the nose turn in the shortest time.
However, as the direction of the aircraft's nose is adjusted, the headwind the aircraft can enjoy becomes smaller and smaller, and the additional aerodynamic performance begins to gradually disappear.
The thrust of the No. 2 engine increased to more than 50 rpm was gradually becoming insufficient to maintain the aircraft's sea-skimming altitude.
During the normal sea landing, the only thing Xu Cang could not control was the No. 2 engine. Even though he had put the No. 2 engine in the slow position early on, hoping to use the last bit of its remaining power at the last moment.
But obviously the situation of the No. 2 engine was even more unexpected for Xu Cang.
As the nose of the plane turned 90 degrees, it even began to receive a tailwind. The altitude originally gained in the early stage began to be lost, and the 50-rpm engine could not support it at all.
With a height of less than a hundred feet, wouldn't it be reached in a blink of an eye? However, they were only halfway around, which was obviously not enough.
But just when it was becoming difficult to handle, the No. 2 engine, which had originally only slowly increased its vibration value, suddenly produced violent vibrations.
"Engine No. 2 is about to stall!" Shi Qi suddenly let out a long roar.
This time, it was no longer possible to control it by simply reducing the throttle, but it was really going to fail, and they couldn't reduce the throttle now. At this critical moment, Xu Cang not only did not reduce the throttle, but pushed the thrust handle of the No. 2 engine to the maximum position.
In an instant, a large amount of fuel was sprayed into the combustion chamber, and this engine, which had reached the end of its life, burst out with the most magnificent aftermath at the last moment.
The rumbling sound of the engine like thunder filled the entire cabin, and even the sound of hidden mines exploding could be heard across the seawall in the distance.
With the help of the No. 2 engine's last-ditch effort, the plane not only did not descend, but also rose slightly.
But no matter what, this was only a brief moment of resurgence, and it didn't even last more than three seconds. With a loud noise that seemed to split the sky and earth, the entire fuselage produced a violent vibration, and a large ball of tail flames spewed out from the tail nozzle of the No. 2 engine. Then everything became quiet, and even the sound of the engine running disappeared.
In the cockpit, Shi Qi felt a chill in his heart. The No. 2 engine had been completely scrapped. At this moment, they were truly gliding without power. However, the plane still had one last section to turn around.
“It’s too late!”
This time it was really too late. Without power, the aircraft turned into a tailwind again, and its aerodynamic performance even decreased, leaving no room for maneuver.
At this moment, the nose of the plane was facing diagonally towards the waves, which was not a suitable direction for an emergency landing, but there was no room for turning around, not even for Xu Cang.
The loud noise before the No. 2 engine was shut down was so terrifying that Wang Baotian in the cabin immediately realized that the No. 2 engine was scrapped.
But he could clearly feel that the plane had not turned 180 degrees yet. Before that, he observed the outside world and vaguely saw with the help of starlight that the plane was going against the waves just now, so he was not surprised by the subsequent turn of the plane.
But the No. 2 engine broke down during the turn, so how could we turn around?
The fear of death and the hatred towards Xu Cang made Wang Baotian hysterical, and an uncontrollable madness was brewing in his chest.
At the same time, the scene of flames spitting out of the tail nozzle of the No. 2 engine was particularly conspicuous in the starry night. Shi Lingling, who had just seen some hope that the plane maintained its altitude, suddenly collapsed against the car, while Li Rongxian next to him also subconsciously clenched his fists, and his right hand holding the walkie-talkie happened to press the transmit button.
At this moment, Shi Lingling and Wang Baotian, who were almost in despair, shouted at the same time with the most powerless and furious voice: "Xu Cang!"
Shi Lingling's voice was transmitted to the plane through the intercom, and mixed with Wang Baotian's voice, it exploded in the cockpit.
At this time, the reserved sunlight finally revealed its true face. The warm light of the early morning sun sprinkled down, covering the cold silver starlight. The huge body of 9451 also cast a huge shadow on the sea dam under the reflection of the early morning sun, covering Shi Lingling and Li Rongxian completely.
At this moment, Xu Cang squinted his eyes and observed the moment of day and night changing. His heart was like the rising sun that pierced through the darkness, nurturing the hottest vitality.
Suddenly, Shi Qi's ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of drums. It seemed that under this drum sound, everything became silent.
Soon, he realized that there was no drum sound at all, but rather the beating of Xu Cang's heart.
At this moment, Xu Cang felt as if he was back at Yulong Airport, his heart was thundering, his blood was burning. In an instant, Xu Cang felt everything was clear, his thoughts spread out, enveloping the entire plane, as if the plane had come alive and was breathing with him.
Everything has become clear!
Xu Cang let out the loudest roar since then: "Open your eyes and look, this is the weight I will carry for the entire future!"
Amid Xu Cang's roar, the clouds parted and the sun finally shed its last bit of shyness, spreading its benevolent light to the world. As the darkness faded, the five stars that had led Xu Cang seemed unwilling to disappear, struggling to look down at the moment when Xu Cang reached the peak again.
At this moment, the sky is above and the earth and water are below, which is called Qian above and Kan below, the sky and water are in conflict!
This is called when things go against each other, lawsuits and disputes arise!
It is said that there is fog in the world, and destiny is in the right position!
It was at this moment when everything was still unclear that Xu Cang suddenly showed a glimmer of hope in the chaos. Instead of pulling up the plane, he lowered it slightly while maintaining the turning posture.
As soon as this tiny movement occurred, the left wing tip of the aircraft plunged directly into the sea water. Due to the resistance of the left wing tip to the water, the entire aircraft drew an incredible trajectory in the sky in a strange way with almost no radius.
In the cockpit, Shi Qi didn't know what Xu Cang had done, but the plane was turning at an unimaginable speed than before.
Moreover, due to the movement of the plane below Xu Cang, the speed of the plane increased for a moment. During the high-altitude turn, Xu Cang always slightly led the stick, trying his best to maintain the altitude of the plane at the cost of losing the speed of the plane.
So in the vision of Shi Lingling and Li Rongxian, the plane bathed in the light of the early sun and inlaid with dazzling gold edges seemed to be suspended in the air, and then completed a circular motion with almost no radius.
As we all know, as the speed of an object increases, the radius of the arc required for turning will become larger and larger. Although the speed of the aircraft was already very low before entering the water, it was definitely impossible to complete such an unpredictable maneuver.
Li Rongxian was very familiar with Airbus aircraft. Looking at the unreasonable movement of the aircraft, he collapsed to the ground.
He finally understood why Boeing was willing to use a 737NG blueprint in exchange for Xu Cang's help, and he finally understood why his half-brother Li Rongcheng valued Xu Cang so much!
They have a keen eye for identifying gems, but I am the one who is blind!
With the help of the wingtip water resistance, the plane completed the remaining turns in an instant at an unimaginable speed and radius. When Xu Cang realized that it was almost enough, he immediately leveled the plane, then slightly pulled it, and shouted loudly: "All closed!"
Even though Shi Qi was in extreme shock, he still fulfilled his responsibilities perfectly. In addition to turning off the main engine switch, he also turned off the switch of the APU that had been started to deal with the engine failure.
Almost at the same time as Shi Qi's move fell, the plane slammed heavily onto the waves.
At this moment, the entire plane seemed to have hit a mountain and was about to fall apart. However, after the initial violent shaking, the plane did not disintegrate.
Shi Qi's reaction was also extremely quick. After passing the most dangerous moment, he hurriedly pressed the fire extinguishing buttons of all engines and APUs, and also pressed all the fire extinguishing agent buttons.
After entering the water, Xu Cang did not slowly increase the pitch attitude of the aircraft. Since the wave that entered the water was too steep, the angle of entry of the aircraft was relatively large and could not be increased any further, otherwise the tail of the aircraft would enter the water too deep and the fuselage of the aircraft might break.
The fact is that Xu Cang's choice was extremely correct. After breaking through the waves, the plane was suspended in the air. Fortunately, Xu Cang's posture was not too exaggerated. The moment it broke through the waves, the plane would have been destroyed.
Like a boat breaking through the waves, the nose of the plane broke through the waves and hit the water. At this time, Xu Cang slowly pulled the pole and brought the attitude to eleven degrees.
Under the resistance of the water, the plane slowed down very quickly, and it stopped in just seven or eight seconds. Looking at the waves hitting the windshield, Xu Cang suddenly had a strange feeling he had never had before. And Shi Qi seemed to be exhausted, and after issuing the evacuation order, he collapsed on the seat.
However, this state did not last long, and they had to start evacuating. However, the cabin was still in a mess, so they needed to wait a while.
It was during this moment of waiting that Xu Cang let out a long sigh. An indescribable fatigue swept through his body, but his spirit was still incomparably excited.
At this moment, the plane is submerged in the water, the sky is below and the water is above, which is called Qian below and Kan above, with different hexagrams overlapping.
It is said that the light is bright, the weather is good, and it will be beneficial to cross the great river.
It is said that heaven and earth change their shapes, and mountains and seas are turned upside down.
Therefore, when three people enter the cave, they will be respectful and good luck will come in the end!
