[Lifestyle] Allow you a flying world of Hayao Miyazaki

Nausicaa in “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind” rides a white hang glider with the help of the wind, Kiki in “Kiki’s Delivery Service” flies into the sky on a magic broom, and the protagonist in “Porco Rosso” and “The Wind Rises” becomes a pilot He and the aircraft manufacturer, Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki put his dream of flying in his works and brought them to the audience. The appearance of Flying Town is like restoring Hayao Miyazaki’s flying world in front of you and realizing your flying dream.

The ancients regarded flying as very mysterious, such as birds, beasts or gods and monsters. , Changing the flight, losing the essence of people.” As everyone knows, today, after a thousand years, flying sports have become a way of life and play.

From the emergence of airplanes more than a hundred years ago to the current flying sports, the slow development of this century is enough to prove the challenges of flying sports. From airplanes to paragliders, parachute jumps, and hot air balloons, human beings conquer the sky more and more. There are more and more exciting, even without the broomstick flying machine in “Harry Potter”, there are many postures that are superior to others.

reach the dream

If the flight dream you are pursuing includes manned sightseeing balloons, aircraft simulation driving, entertainment wind tunnel experience, real aircraft flight experience…then there is a characteristic town where you will arrive at the dream place——Jingmen Ai, Hubei Flyer Aviation Town.

Located in the beautiful Zhanghe New District, the flying town with a total area of ​​about 30 square kilometers has all kinds of internal organs, forming a characteristic aviation industry base. Let’s start with the flying sports that the whole town relies on to open the door to experience. The wind tunnel experience project is a suspension device in the air. The high-speed airflow generated by the fan at the bottom of the building can form a stable airflow of 60-80 m/s through a specially designed pressure-stabilizing acceleration system. The airflow enters the entertainment space from the bottom. The balance of human body weight makes people rise into the air and makes “trapeze” a reality.

The wind tunnel experience is safe and simple. Visitors should wear professional clothing, helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, and professional disposable earplugs. Before the experience, a professional pilot will teach the basic movements and remind you to pay attention. During the experience With specialized personnel monitoring it, you can continue to experience it for 5 to 6 minutes and enjoy the feeling of floating in the air.

In Geek Park, various types of aircraft and models such as Water Boom 5, JJ 6, Seagull 300, Yun-5, and Jiaolong 600 are displayed. Some aircraft will be transformed from the original static display to interactive experience. Of course, the plane is not limited to the interactive experience on the ground. The flight experience is naturally the top priority. Take a special flight to experience the aerobatic flight, and overlook Zhanghe Airport, Zhanghe Reservoir, State Guest Hotel, Lover Bridge, cruise ship wharf, etc. tens to hundreds of square kilometers. beautiful view.

In addition to experiencing flying, there is also a flying artifact manned sightseeing tethered balloon in the park, which can carry up to 30 tourists at a time, and can be lifted up to an altitude of 150 meters; The view from the top of the mountain is different. You can enjoy the surrounding scenery in 360 degrees. The view is wide, which is exactly the same as the hot air balloon sightseeing we usually see.

The pursuit of flying is a process of chasing dreams and challenges, and it is also an attitude towards life. Flying towns usually have a place for leisure camping, where people can enjoy the slow time quietly after the exciting air flight. RVs are parked in the town, leaning against the river bank, for tourists to experience RV camping life, and will pursue outdoor sports and natural tranquility The image of a characteristic flying tourism town is instantly complete.

extreme challenge

If staying in a balloon for sightseeing and flying at a low altitude in a small plane are just a simple ride-on flight experience, then flying your own aircraft to the sky requires a certain amount of courage and skill challenges.

The parachute was originally a rescue equipment for pilots, and gradually evolved into extreme skydiving. Its unique charm is that it can jump from various flying aircraft, and can also jump from equipment fixed at high places, steep mountain tops, high grounds and even buildings. The thrill of height and the stimulation of free fall are all Skydiving plays where your heart beats.

When you jump from a height of 5,000 meters, the house on the ground is smaller than an ant, the wind keeps pouring into your mouth, your face is deformed, and your brain is blank, but you observe the world from a posture that you have never seen before , a freedom that has never been completely released. Open the pull ring of the parachute, and in the process of slowly descending, looking at the vast expanse of land, the heart returns to peace, and feeling the beauty of this world is a unique experience given by skydiving. Of course, the stars we often see from variety shows challenge high-altitude skydiving are all carried out under the guidance of professionals, and the skills required for skydiving are by no means as simple as you see.

In the planning of Picasso’s flying concept town, guests and residents of the flying town can fly in the town with their favorite small planes and gliders, and passengers can learn how to master flying techniques while enjoying the beautiful surrounding environment. Flying in a small plane should be the “flying height” that many Chinese people want to achieve, but the requirements for piloting small planes are strict and a professional driver’s license is required, so the experience of flying a small plane by yourself is still a relatively high threshold of flying. But for teenagers, activities such as the “little pilot training camp” launched in the flying town and the winter and summer camps to experience flying culture are a better way to get started.

But when it comes to the biggest extreme challenge in flying sports at present, I am afraid it is “wing suit flying”. Wingsuit flying, born in the 1990s, ranks first among many extreme sports with its characteristics of excitement, thrill, freedom and novelty. The so-called “wing suit” is a stamped inflatable airbag made of nylon material with strong toughness and tension. In particular, a large piece of strong, flexible bat-like fabric is sewn between the legs, arms and torso of the flight sportswear. Flying wings.

Wingsuit flying is the same as skydiving. Due to different take-off points such as aircraft or cliffs, it is divided into high and low altitudes. However, wingsuit flying has very high requirements for flight technology. A technical error can be fatal. Before wingsuit flying, you need hundreds of high-altitude skydives, and then hundreds of low-altitude flying circular exercises, as well as mastery of flight theory knowledge, and finally you can become a wingsuit pilot. The limit index of this flying sport is so high It can be seen.

more than flying

In recent years, there has been a lot of news about the construction of “aviation towns” in China. The Picasso flying concept town in Beijing, the flying town in Burqin County, Altay, Xinjiang, and the flying town in Qinling, China. Aviation towns are not just about flying sports. , tourism environment experience, it is a characteristic town with a characteristic industrial form.

The aviation town is not only an effective supplement to civil aviation transportation, but also an important improvement to the entire transportation system; the country is vigorously promoting the construction of new urbanization, and the aviation town is relatively far away from towns in space. At the same time, it can gather a variety of industries, which can effectively change urban and rural areas. It is a new model in promoting urban and rural overall planning and new urbanization construction.

The Zhanghe New Area in Jingmen was approved as one of the first batch of characteristic towns by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development with the industrial planning of a general aviation town. The planning takes the general airport as the leader, and is based on the R&D and manufacturing of special aircraft and general aircraft. Create a sports and leisure town featuring aviation.

International experience shows that the benefit that an aviation project brings to the local area after 10 years of development, the input-output ratio can reach 1:80, and the employment-driven ratio of general aviation is 1:12. Although most domestic aviation towns are currently in the planning concept stage, and it is impossible to gather such industries on a large scale, the gradual popularization of flying sports and the good development trend of the aviation industry determine that there are many such aviation-themed towns. Great room for development. Grasp the industrialization operation of the aviation town, select the right location, and set the development direction, so that a good planning pattern and development momentum can be formed.
