Chapter 0677: Controversy in Washington

"How can you use such stability?" Li Zitao was very dissatisfied with the performance of the helicopter, and it fell down at every turn, and nine lives were not enough for such a play.

In addition, the explosion-proof and flame-proof technology of the fuel tank has not yet been developed in this year, and if the rotor suddenly stops, it will definitely be the life of fireworks.

"Boss, we're adjusting its balance, and now that we have the actual machine, the next adjustment is just a minor issue. James MacDonald replied easily.

In his opinion, being able to build a truly practical helicopter is already a major breakthrough in flight, and Li Zitao's requirements are too high.

But thinking that he was responsible for the head-to-toe design of the helicopter, MacDonald had the idea that he was too stupid.

Tesla would choose McDonald to be in charge of the helicopter project, which Li Zitao did not expect, after all, he has been in charge of private jets and business jets.

It's all high-end civilian fields, and it's better suited than him, whether it's Skunk, Grumman, or Douglas.

But now look at Tesla's vision correctly, MacDonald really turned the drawings and theories into reality.

"Well, no matter how good its performance is, if even basic driving safety cannot be guaranteed, no customer will be tempted by it, think about that. ”

Hop into the Wrangler and head straight for the largest hangar at the end of the runway.

Internal number S-4, medium transport aircraft, upper single wing, four engines, tail large cargo door fuselage layout, all-metal double-beam stressed skin structure.

The machined overall fuselage is reinforced with thickened skin wall panels, and the tail is designed to be opened in two pieces, which can also be closed in the air.

The downward slope creates a good airdrop slope, and the landing gear is integrated into the streamlined cabins on both sides, ensuring space and continuity of the main fusel.

The maximum flight speed is 490 km / h, the maximum range is 2780 km, the maximum load is 28 tons, and the dead weight is 22 tons.

Internal designation S-101, heavy transport aircraft with a maximum flight speed of 509 km / h, a maximum range of 3400 km, a maximum load of 40 tons, and a dead weight of 33 tons.

The two behemoths were slowly pulled out of the hangar by the tractor one after the other, the iron sheets on the surface had not yet been painted, emitting a silver glow in the sun, and traces of steel nails could be seen.

"Charlie, come up. Hughes waved to him on the plane, and a strange hot girl sat next to him, excitedly waving down through the glass.

"Changed girlfriends?" Li Zitao looked at Johnson curiously.

"The sixth. Johnson's face was full of envy, everyone was also busy in the experimental center every day, why did he always find a girlfriend?

After the tractor stopped, Li Zitao boarded the plane through the hatch on the left side, and then entered the cockpit through the narrow staircase upward.

The cabin is covered with all kinds of instruments and buttons, front and back, left and right, all over the head, and it is a little uncomfortable to look at densely.

There are 5 people sitting in the cabin, responsible for navigation, radar surveillance, liaison and engineers, the pilot is Hughes, and the co-pilot sits his hot girl.

"Are you going to fly?" the girl sitting in the passenger seat looked at Hughes with adoration on her face.

"Baby, go to the back... Charlie, come and sit here. Switching places with the somewhat reluctant hot girl, Li Zitao sat in the co-pilot, his expression a little nervous.

This thing wasn't safe for him when he first saw it, and if it weren't for his trust in Skunk technology, he would have jumped out of the plane.

"Ready, we're going to work miracles. Hughes started the engine, and the smile on his face was a little crazy.

Li Zitao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "Hughes, how many tests is this?"

"Of course it's the first time, don't be nervous, I'll bring you back safely. As he said the plane taxied forward, Hughes pushed the throttle.

"Hold the grass!" Li Zitao knew a little more about the madness of this bastard.

The picture in front of him gradually tilted upward, and the feeling of weightlessness hit his heart, and Hughes said with a bright smile: "Guys, a miracle is just around the corner." ”

"If it works, I'll know it's ......," the engineer said excitedly.

When the plane returned to the level, except for the cheers of the crowd, Li Zitao couldn't hear the noise of the machine running, stood up and tried it, and there was no trembling feeling.

"Isn't that surprised? haha......" Hughes winked triumphantly.

"Hughes... You're a genius, you've made it. Li Zitao stepped forward and gave him a hug, which made Hughes scream: "Oh my God, I was hugged by a man." ”

"Man, you should learn to adapt!" Li Zitao smiled cooperatively.

After flying in the sky for 40 minutes, the S-4 re-landed on the runway, and as soon as Li Zitao got off the plane, he heard Johnson's roar: "Hughes, you're too messy......"

"It's okay... A great trip, just don't come back next time. With a smile, Li Zitao ordered: "Hold a party in the square tonight, let everyone put down the work at hand, and we will celebrate it together." ”

......

......

Washington, White House.

In the president's office, the chief adviser, the vice president, the chief of staff, the secretary of state, and the director of the FBI gathered together, but no one spoke.

The only sound in the room was the rustle of Roosevelt's pen as he swiped across the white paper.

If there is an understanding of the people, they will find that one of these people is missing an important position, the chief of staff of the army, the supreme commander of the army.

After signing his name, Roosevelt closed the cap of his pen, put the pen in his hand and looked up, and the dead silence became more lively.

"Any news?" Roosevelt leaned back, his arms resting on the armrests and relaxed.

Everyone looked at each other vaguely, and Hoover, who was close to him, spoke, "Mr. President, I insist on my opinion, this matter must have something to do with that person." ”

"What about the evidence?" asked Secretary of State Cordelhull, who was across from him, rhetorically, "Do you want to secretly arrest him like everyone else?"

"Maybe you can try, if you can pry his mouth open. Hoover said indifferently.

"With what?, a drill or a hammer?" retorted Hull, not to be outdone.

"I don't think it's a good idea, he's a super-rich man and he's very good at building his identity as a weakling, he's philanthropic and has a family that supports him. Vice President John Garner said with a serious face.

"Guys, we're talking about the suspect in the murder of the Chief of Staff of the Army?" Hoover looked at them incredulously, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Director Hoover, you don't have any evidence, even if it's pointed, I will agree with your actions, but not just speculation!"

Secretary of State Hull looked at Roosevelt and said, "Mr. President, we can't just treat him as a minority, Chinese... There are too many interests involved in him,

Any colored, targeted action will only lead to more trouble without evidence, and let's not forget that he also has a News Corp. in his hands. ”
