This is because we are preparing for April, the change of the fiscal year.
Some organizations do not change at all, some welcome newcomers, others send off graduates, and so on.
The budget for the new fiscal year is prepared in January and February, so the accountants are not in a hurry, but the personnel managers are preparing for the coming April 1 with all their might, as many people will be coming and going.
In such an early spring season, there are many people who are conducting research at their own pace.
<, also known as the .
They are rivals with their neighbors, the , also known as the .
And now, the rivals are cooperating with each other and challenging a new innovation.
The <.
The Magi Machine was revealed through the analysis of materials excavated from the ruins discovered in the Kingdom of Celuloa the other day.
<, and is to be used for the benefit of modern society.
<
"Well, it has a lot of thrust, but it's hard to handle.
"The acceleration is too high for humans.
There were some initial comments on ......, but Mr. Katya of the <> came up with the idea of using small engines in parallel and reducing the number of engines used when the power output is low. >>This idea was the one that brought the development forward at once.
Of course, we did not use exactly what Mr. Cachier said.
We did not change the size of the generator, but reduced the output of the generator that was chopped inside. He has carved several such generators in the same engine.
"The engine you are testing now is the one that uses three generators, is it not?"
"Yes. I'm using only one at low power, but I'm still getting a ."
I'm now consulting with Eila Siata and Groma Trey of the <.
They are two of the top engineers in control system design.
The engine itself was built at the Aeronautical Research Laboratory, but the two engineers from the are working through a trial-and-error process to establish a control method.
"We can't cram any more generators into one engine, can we?
"Then, let's make the engine smaller, put three engines in parallel, and operate the with slightly staggered timing.
"Theoretically, the pulsation would be considerably suppressed."
They spent a whole day and night building the prototype engine, and as a result of their experiments, they obtained fairly good data.
"Oh, Eira, Gromma, you've done it!
"I managed to get it into shape. ......"
As a result, nine very low-power < were used in sequence with slightly staggered timing, resulting in a low pulsation and easily controllable characteristics.
As a side effect, the amount of heat generated is also suppressed, which gives more leeway for heat dissipation.
"As for the cooling, we can install heat dissipation fins on the outside of the engine and use air cooling by sucking in air during flight, is that okay?"
"That's it."
Should we be careful about overheating and overcooling as well?
"No, it's not an internal combustion engine, so overcooling shouldn't be a problem.
"Then, how about using water magic <> to force cooling?
"It's okay as long as it's not constant, isn't it?"
"Yes. The constant activation consumes too much mana.
This newly developed rocket engine was named the .

And on March 12, the rocket plane equipped with the memorable <> was completed by the combined efforts of <>, <>, and <>'s factory.
"The factory cooperated with us, so it took shape very quickly.
Eira gazed at the prototype with a look of great emotion on her face.
The prototype has a large retractable wing. It also has air intakes for air-cooling, so at first glance it looks like a jet plane.
Overall, it resembles the modern Japanese <.
Its name is <. <
The name is derived from the idea of having a line of wake drawn in the blue sky. It was named after Ciel Azure of the Aeronautical Institute of Japan.
The test pilot is , an aviation golem newly created by the .
This < is thoroughly lightweight, weighing only 65 kilograms, almost the same as a human being. He is 170 centimeters tall.
Its power is about two man-power, but its reaction time is four times faster than a human's. Its eyesight is 10.0. His eyesight is 10.0.
Aeria 01, I'm counting on you.
Yes, sir. I'm on it.
At 9:00 a.m., not only those involved, but all the residents of Avalon who could spare the time were paying attention to the test flight.
"All right, start the engines!"
<
And began to run on the runway.
"Oh, looks like it's going well! Let's go!
<, cheered.
< speeds up rapidly, glides about 300 meters, and then floats up.
The runway here is only 300 meters long, so it was just in time.
"We did it!
I'm flying!"
They had repeated countless experiments for this day.
< and were very excited.
<> quickly vanished from sight, they used the "Magi Transceiver," a magical device that was developed by the > for this purpose.
The person in charge is Zora Himmel, deputy director of the Aeronautics Laboratory.
This is Zora. How are you? Over.
This is Aeria 1. Over.
Good. What's the maximum speed? Over.
About 800 kilometers an hour at an altitude of 2,000 meters. Over.
When the people at the Aeronautical Research Institute, or rather Avalon, heard this report, they let out a loud cheer.
This is a world record for the speed of an aircraft (excluding Horai Island).
< is about 150 km/h, and that of an airship is about 100 km/h.
Jin's < is said to reach a speed of 400 km/h, although this is unofficial.
Compared to these, the speed of 800 kilometers per hour was astonishing.
