Flight Test

Two months later, in the Axelsen & Nielsen Company Headquarters. Poul was overseeing the preparation for the first test flight of their piston-powered aircraft. The workers toiled diligently as they cleared the makeshift airfield on which the plane is going to take off.

Beside him was Timothy, who was doing some checklist for the upcoming test flight. Poul and Timothy had become an inseparable duo throughout the development process, working tirelessly to ensure every detail was accounted for.

"Timothy, how are we looking with the checklist?" Poul asked, his eyes scanning the bustling activity on the airfield.

Timothy double-checked his notes, his brows furrowed in concentration. "Everything seems to be in order, Mr. Nielsen," he replied, a hint of excitement in his voice. "Fuel levels are optimal, control surfaces have been thoroughly inspected, and the engine is primed and ready. 

Poul nodded his confidence about the upcoming flight test growing.
