In the second month of Smith's tenure as president of the Romanian Oil Company, Henri Koanda was also observing the new aircraft with his assistant Aurel Flajcu.

Aurel Flajku was born in Transylvania on November 19, 1882. Faced with the oppression of the Hungarians from an early age. With his own efforts, he obtained excellent results, studied at the Technical University of Budapest, and later went to the Technical University of Munich in Germany for further study.

During his studies in Germany, he was struck by the idea that Romanians should be allowed to live in a country. In 1906, he learned from the newspaper that the success of the Romanian aviator Henri Koanda gave the 18-year-old genius the idea to develop in Romania.

After obtaining his engineer certificate in 1907, he turned down an invitation from the Opel Locomotive Company and traveled to Romania to meet Henri Coanda to promote himself. At first, Henri Koanda was a little disdainful of this young man who had just come out of school.

After some exchanges, he was deeply impressed by this young man from Transylvania, named Orel Flajku. The more they talked, the happier they became, and eventually Henri Koanda asked Horel Frajku to be his assistant. Nominally, Horel Flajku was an assistant, but in reality Henri Koanda had to listen to him many times.

Thanks to Eder's huge funding, the duo's whimsical masterpiece is now being made. This is a guy who is different from ordinary aircraft, the same thing is that they are both double-layer wings, the fuselage is also a conventional layout, and the tail is no different from the general one.

The most important difference in the position of the nose is revealed, and an afterburner is added to each side of the nose where the engines are placed, making it look like the aircraft is puffing out its cheeks.

"I heard that the Frenchman Séguin brothers invented a new engine, which is very good." Henri Koanda spoke to his assistant Aurel Flajcu about the latest developments in the aircraft.

"Maybe we can buy one and try it, it might help us think. You can't always count on the people in the power lab. Horel Flajku spoke his mind.

Due to Eder's intervention, now the power laboratory Molonir has been busy with the research and development of diesel engines, and has not invested much in aircraft engines. So Henri Coanda gave up the idea of getting a new engine from the power lab after they went there twice.

"This flying machine is going to blow everyone's mind, right, Flajku." Henri Koanda stared at the plane with different power in front of him and asked his assistant.

"I think it's better to experiment, because the big guy we designed last time didn't achieve the effect we expected." Assistant Horel Flajku still thinks it's better to be more steady. After saying that, he went forward to check the plane, after all, half of it was designed by him.

Thinking of the last experience, Henri Koanda was a little unsettled. Previously, he and Vlajku built an airplane with a wing length of 21.5 meters and a 60-horsepower engine called the Hercules I. Henri Koanda, who was extremely confident before the test flight, invited a lot of media to watch the test flight.

AS A RESULT, THIS 'HERCULES-1' DID NOT FLY AT ALL AFTER CARRYING 50KG OF CARGO AND TWO PEOPLE. After reducing the load, the bulky plane took to the skies. This made Henri Koanda, who was smooth sailing after receiving the crown prince's sponsorship, feel very shameless.

"I've sent out the news that we're going to have a test flight tomorrow." Henri Koanda was a little afraid to look at his assistant, and Aurel Flajku, who was testing the new plane, turned his head to Koanda. "Koanda, if you don't succeed in the test flight tomorrow, we will make headlines."

"Then we can only check it more tonight, and hopefully tomorrow there will be no mistakes," Henri Coanda said remedied after hearing his assistant's dissatisfaction.

"That's all it can be."

Since the plane was checked until late at night, the group got up at about ten o'clock the next day, washed up after breakfast. Henri Koanda spoke to Horel Flajku. "Vlajku, you'll take a few people to push the plane out and prepare the tools. I'll take the rest of the people to clean up the grounds. ”

After Aurel Flaiku took a few people to the hangar to roll out the new plane, Henri Koanda was also carefully inspecting the test runway.

"It's been a great day in Koanda." Corick, the first reporter of the Capital Daily, greeted Henry Coanda with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for coming to Corick." Henry Coanda turned his head to see who was coming, and then walked over and greeted the reporter named Corick.

After shaking hands with Henry Coanda, Corrick said, "I wish you success in this test flight. ”

"Thank you." Henri Koanda also responded.

As time went on, more and more people came to watch. Henri Koanda saw that the time was almost the same, and spoke to Horel Fraiku. "Let's get started, I'll operate this plane this time."

"Isn't this too risky, or let the test pilot Cordo come." Assistant Aurell Flajku suggested at first. In this day and age, flying is an adventure, and many pilots have died in flight accidents, and Henri Coanda knows that it is an assistant for his own good.

"I know it's a bit risky, but you have to believe me, I'm the number one pilot in Romania. And I am most familiar with this plane with you, and this test flight is very important to us, and I can only come. Henri Koanda explained the reason to his assistant.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded to do so, Aurel Flajku patted his friend on the shoulder and said jokingly. "You must come and go, I don't know that the crown prince can't get funds."

Henry Koanda nodded to his assistant. "Rest assured, I'll be back, and it's a return full of honor."

After saying that, he walked into the cockpit of the plane, and the rest of the crew began to rotate the propellers manually, and as the speed increased, the engine rumbled to start, and after gaining enough power, Henri Koanda made a gesture that he could take off. The crew took the crossbar away, and the plane slowly accelerated on the runway, leaving the ground after running 180 meters.

The crowd, though not as agitated as on the first flight, waved their arms at the plane piloted by Henri Koanda. Aurel Fraiku was nervous because the driver had to start the jet to accelerate after the scheduled flight.

After Henri Coanda took a turn in the sky, he activated the power fuel chamber, and after the burning gas spewed two puffs of smoke on both sides of the plane, the crowd on the ground was startled, thinking it was on fire. Calm down after the staff explained that it was a new afterburner.

"That's a lot of speed." Corick reporter said. "yes, it's really fast." The reporter's words were answered, and the crowd looked at the new plane with novelty.

As Henri Coanda felt the extraordinary speed, the plane's hidden dangers were exposed. As an afterburner with a very high tail flame temperature, it is attached to the wooden fuselage, which is the result of poor consideration of fire protection. Now there was an open flame in the fuselage where the tail flame was baking, and Henri Koanda had not been able to detect it, and by the time he did, it was too late.

As a pilot, Henri Koanda was quite composed, and quickly reduced his altitude and speed. Seeing a small river in front of him, Henri Koanda aimed the nose of the plane at the river and planted it, but it was blocked by trees, and the whole plane was scattered, and Henri Koanda was knocked unconscious by the huge impact. The whole person was thrown out of the plane.

After seeing the plane crash, a group of people ran in the direction of the crashed plane. Finally, near the river, Henry Coanda was found unconscious, and the people took him to the hospital by car.

The news of Henri Koanda's wreck was sent to Eder that afternoon, and Eder, who had been following the oil company's rectification, was taken aback, and took the report that recorded the whole incident and looked at it carefully.

After reading the report, Eder admired the idea of Henri Coanda and his assistant, who was the first to do jet experiments in the early stages of propeller flight. I can't let them continue to grow, I have to control it.
