Qhov Khoom Plig Xyoo Tshiab Qhov kawg yuav yog qhov Salvaged Hawker Sea Fury Air Racer

Thaum koj nyob nraum npau suav nruab hnub lub lim tiam no, cia li ob peb feeb rau qhov nws yuav zoo li cas rau koj tus kheej 460-plus mph hloov warbird cua racer. Yog tias qhov kev xav tau txais koj cov ntshav ntws, ces koj yuav xav yuav "Furias". Koj yuav tau muab nws rov qab ua ke tab sis koj yuav muaj qhov tseem ceeb txias-factor cred.

Tus ex-Australian fighter yog muag los ntawm Rockford, IL-based Hais txog Aircraft rau tus nqi tsim nyog $375,000. Tus nqi 'tsim nyog' qhia txog qhov tseeb tias Furias tsis ya tom qab raug kev puas tsuaj hauv kev sib tsoo hauv av tom qab tsim nyog ntawm Reno National Championship Air Races hauv 2012. Txoj cai ua ntej qhov xwm txheej, tus tsav Matt Jackson, tsim nyog rau Hiav Txwv Fury loj hauv qhov thib peb. ntawm qhov ceev ntawm 467.287 mph ntawm Reno's 8.08-mais oval haiv neeg chav kawm.

Thaum teem tawm tsam tus nqi nug rau flyable Hiav txwv Furies nyob rau hauv Tshuag configuration - ib tug tsuas yog muag rau $ 1.4 lab - daim ntawv teev nqi rau Furias zoo li txaus siab. Tab sis zoo li kev yuav ib lub tsheb loj loj uas tau tawg los ntawm qhov chaw khib nyiab, tus nqi tau txais tsuas yog hauv pem teb ntawm qhov uas tus neeg yuav khoom yuav tsum tau siv los ua kom nws rov ua haujlwm dua. Txhawm rau kom tau txais qhov tseeb ntawm qhov nws yuav siv tau los ua Furias airworthy dua, Kuv tau tham nrog ib lub khw muag khoom muaj npe nrov tshaj plaws hauv lub ntiaj teb - Sanders Aeronautics.

Sanders Aeronautics tshwj xeeb hauv Hawker Sea Fury restorations thiab Sea Fury-based air racers, ob peb yam uas nws muaj thiab sib tw txij thaum xyoo 1980s. Lub tuam txhab tus thawj tswj hwm thiab tus tsav tsheb sib tw, Dennis Sanders, hais tias tus nqi nug yog qhov zoo tab sis lees paub tias Furias yuav xav tau ntau yam haujlwm.

Thaum Jackson txo qis qhov tsaws tsaws tom qab tsim nyog, lub valve faulty ua rau lub hydraulically actuated iav tsis txhob xauv tag rau hauv txoj hauj lwm nqes. Sab laug lub ntsiab iav yog qhov zoo tab sis lub ntsiab tseem ceeb (qhov loj pem hauv ntej iav ceg ntawm lub hnub qub ntawm Fury) yuav tsis qis qis thiab xauv. Txawm hais tias rov sim ua kom nws kaw, Jackson ua tsis tiav.

Yog li thaum tsaws lub iav folded thiab sab xis tis poob, ua rau Furias rau carwheel. Jackson tau tshwm sim nrog ob peb pob thiab nqaij tawv tab sis lub dav hlau raug kev txom nyem tis, iav thiab lub fuselage puas tsuaj, qee qhov tuaj yeem pom hauv cov duab nrog cov npe muag. Dennis Sanders hais tias qhov hloov kho Hiav Txwv Fury yog qhov kho tau zoo heev txawm li cas los xij.

Furias '18-lub tog raj kheej, 4,000 hp Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major cav yuav tsum tau muab tshem tawm. Lub tis thiab lub fuselage yuav tsum tau sib cais nrog nws cov roj tank. Tag nrho cov khoom tseem ceeb yuav tsum tau muab tso rau hauv cov khoom sib dhos thiab ncaj nrog rau qhov chaw nruab nrab ntawm lub fuselage thiab nws cov txheej txheem tseem ceeb ntev. Kev kho cov tis, tsaws iav thiab cov kiv cua tshiab yuav ua raws.

Tus nqi tag rau tag nrho cov ntawd yog dab tsi? "Nws yuav yog ib lab daus las los kho nws," Sanders hais tias txawm hais tias nws hais ntxiv tias Sanders Aeronautics yuav tsum mus dhau lub dav hlau kom nthuav dav ntxiv kom tau txais daim duab tag nrho. Qhov xwm zoo yog lub khw kho dua tshiab muaj tag nrho cov khoom tsim nyog rau 70-xyoo-laus fighter / racer ua tsaug rau ntau xyoo ntawm cov khoom seem uas yuav los ntawm Dennis thiab nws txiv, Frank Sanders.

Tsis xav tsis thoob, qhov project yuav siv sijhawm zoo tshaj ib xyoos, tej zaum ob. Nws yuav xav tau tus tswv nrog lub zeem muag, ib tus neeg uas xav ya nws lossis pom nws ya dua li tus neeg sib tw thiab sib tw Unlimited championship ntawm Reno. Raws li Sanders tau sau tseg, Furias muaj peev xwm. Nws yog ib lub dav hlau sib tw ceev tshaj plaws hauv ntiaj teb nrog kev cia siab zoo nyob rau sab xis ntawm kev ncav cuag cov khawv koob 500 mph lap-speed nyob ib ncig ntawm chav kawm Reno.

Lwm txoj hauv kev (qhov kev lom zem tsawg dua) yuav yog los kho Furias rau hauv hiav txwv Fury teeb tsa. Nws yuav siv sij hawm ntev me ntsis thiab siv nyiaj ntau me ntsis tab sis nws tuaj yeem ua tiav. Hais tias, muaj txog 24 Hiav Txwv Furies teev nyob rau hauv US pej xeem aircraft sau npe, tsis tshua muaj noog ib tug thiab tag nrho. Tab sis muaj tiag tiag tsuas yog ob lub nkoj puv hiav txwv Fury-raws li cov neeg sib tw tseem nyob, ua rau Furias ntau dua.

Thaum kawg ntawm lub hnub, ib tug airworthy Furias yuav muag. Sanders hais tias "Nws ib txwm yooj yim dua los muag lub dav hlau ya kom paub meej," Sanders hais. Yog tias nws tau hais kom hom nyiaj uas nyuam qhuav muag Tshuag Sea Fury tau ua, tus tswv tshiab yuav luag sib tw.

Tab sis zoo li lwm lub dav hlau sib tw, Furias yog ib qho khoom ntawm kev mob siab rau, piv txwv ntawm kev pheej hmoo ua kom muaj zog uas Asmeskas pom tsis tshua muaj hnub no. Nws tuaj yeem yog qhov khoom plig Xyoo Tshiab kawg rau koj tus kheej thiab cov ntsiab lus ntawm kev npau suav rau xyoo tom ntej.

Puas muaj leej twg ua si txaus los coj nws?
