Preparation of experimental device: take a round steel tube with a diameter of 19 mm to be welded on the 25 mm surface of 25×50 mm rectangular steel tubes, form a structure of round tubes on rectangular tubes, then by taking one rectangular steel tube as a support every 6 m, set up a straight single layer double-track operation track with a height of 1.5 m and a length of 3 km, and mount eight extrusion-type speed reducing devices at the last 800 m, and then make flight wings with a wingspan length of 2.5 m by aluminum alloy sheets and aluminum alloy tubes, make a carrier device by iron plates, make a connection device between wings and the carrier device by round steel tubes with a diameter of 22 mm and bearings, and make a wheel rotating-driving device by DC motor and wheels which is connected with a 24V battery placed in the carrier device, wherein the DC motor is a permanent magnet brushless DC motor, having the rated voltage of 24V, the power of 5.5 KW, and the maximum revolution speed of 10000 rev/min, and the radius of wheel is 15 cm.

In the central portion of the track, that is, use pressure jacks on two sides at 3 m long to extrude the telescopic structure to close to an engagement state. Take a round steel tube with a diameter of 22 mm, plus bearings with an outer diameter of 4.5 cm as the vertical shaft of the connection device between wings and the carrier device.

A motor remote shutdown device is mounted at 1 km. The experiment first remotely starts the motor of the rear carrier device, then it can be seen that wheels start, and the carrier device moves forward along the operation tracks, rapidly accelerates, and the moving speed detected when accelerating to 1 km is 187-205 km/h, and at the same time the motor is remotely closed. Immediately the front carrier device is impacted by the impact plate, pushing the front carrier device to move forward, and at the same time the rear carrier device decelerates. The moving speed detected when reaching 2.1 km is 76-89 km/h, and at this time, the structures of the two carrier device are as a whole without damage. When moving to the last 800 m, the carrier devices gradually decelerates and stops by the extrusion-type speed reducing device. It indicates that the impact cushion device can significantly reduce impact damages between the carrier devices on tracks, ensuring a quick and stable operation of the carrier devices.
