主题：LCA放了个小炮仗 -- itn
家园 LCA放了个小炮仗 三哥航天刚发了大炮仗。 航空业岂能落后。这不， LCA的油箱测试放了个小炮仗。
三哥官方的说法如下。加油要做防雷测试。不知为何发生了小爆炸。震碎了观看室的窗户，玻璃碎片把十几个三哥扎成了刺猬。
说了一堆，blah, blah, blah, 也没讲清楚到为什么发生爆炸，什么玩艺儿炸了。只是说LCA的进度不受影响。 典型的阿三风格。
Here’s the official version from a senior CABS official: Before conducting any lightning tests, we will have to do a small ignition (controlled) test. This is the testing of the test facility. Yesterday, we were about to test the fuel tanks of Tejas as part of the certification process, ahead of the IOC. Since, Tejas is an all-weather fighter, we had to see the effects (2 types) of lighting on the platform. If the lightning hits the aircraft, it can affect external parts, including the radome. This is called direct effect. It can also damage the fly-by-wire systems, electro-magnetic surroundings (instruments) – which fall under indirect effect.Before testing various parts of the aircraft, we do the fuel-air-mixture ignition test on the custom-built rig. Yesterday, while this pre-test-ignition was done, the window panes of the viewing area were shattered due to a minor explosion. It shouldn’t have happened. It's an unusual experience. As a result, 10 of our colleagues got injured due to splinters. We are investigating the incident and a Board of Inquiry is being set-up now. The Tejas program is on track and this is a minor incident.
家园 照老印官方说法，这只是玻璃不行 那天做的是LCA油箱经受雷击的试验，在试验前他们要做一个小规模的点火试验来测试试验设施是否符合要求。结果在这个点火试验的过程中发生爆炸，震碎玻璃并伤了10个人。但是这只说明试验设施不符合要求，而不是LCA本身出了问题，所以LCA的进度不受影响。
我看不懂的是这个小型爆炸是实验的一部份还是意外。“due to a minor explosion”似乎是再说爆炸不应该发生，否则他应该说“due to THE minor explosion”更符合习惯。不知道这个发言人的英语有问题，还是他在故意含糊其词。
