Chapter 450: Imperial Eagle 2
Then, the huge plane began to fly in the air again, and pressed the nose slightly, and made a shallow dive, which was very small, and in the eyes of the prince, it also fell about 50 meters. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and this action caused an exclamation from the audience next to them, in their opinion, this action is too exciting! And because of this action, the wings of this plane seem to shake as a whole, and it seems that some of them can't withstand the huge stress. No way, the entire airplane body is made of wood, and there are no ribs inside the wings, just two boards, supported by wooden poles in the middle. The whole plane is still very fragile, after all, this is the first plane.
"I'll go, is this dive angle 20 degrees?" The prince said in his heart. However, he still asked the accompanying photographer to take a picture of the majestic posture of Flyer 1.
"Is it possible to make the plane look higher at a higher altitude by some means, or from a shooting angle? Faster? And those dives and corners must also be filmed well. Well. The prince asked the royal photographer next to him.
"Your wishes, my duty." Without saying a word, the photographer began to adjust the lens and focal length. Of course, these key information will not be published to the public through newspapers and other means, in fact, including today's experiments are carried out in an extremely secret environment, and even the design team members cannot disclose their work to their families!
After tossing in the air for half an hour, the Flyer 1 was ready to land, compared to the Wright Brothers' plane, the Voyager 1 landing was a lot more troublesome, no way, the horsepower was much larger, the landing speed increased, the runway required the industry to be long, Ryan needed to carefully control the angle of the aircraft, the angle was large, it hit the ground directly, and if the angle was too small, it was easy to bounce. He carefully controlled the speed of the plane, and when the two wheels in front of the plane hit the ground and taxied steadily for a certain distance, he finally turned off the engine.
"Hooray! We have set a new record! When the plane finally came to a stop at the end of the runway, everyone present cheered for the successful flight. And the prince was very happy, after all, this was a good start, and the Luftwaffe took a solid first step from there!
"Baron Lilinthal, can the load of this plane be increased a little?" The prince suddenly turned around and asked.
"This is naturally possible, if the volume of the aircraft is larger, there is no problem to add another 40 kilograms." Baron Lilinthal thought for a moment and said. The large wing area made the take-off conditions very low, and the engine power of 50 horsepower was not small, and the engine power of the Fokker D1 fighter that caused the Fokker disaster was only 130 horsepower.
"Very well, Major General Schmidt, you now immediately arrange a team to design machine guns and small bombs capable of being mounted on aircraft, and then install these weapons on aircraft. Contact the photographer again and take a picture of the scene of the plane's ground attack, the more shocking the better, and you can use some extraordinary means. The prince turned back to his military chief attendant and commanded.
"There shouldn't be any problem with a machine gun, but I'm still skeptical about the effectiveness of an airplane with a weapon, we all know that a machine gun has to be stable when firing, so we need to equip a tripod, and the plane itself sways when it flies, and it's fast (less than 100 kilometers is fast?). )。 So I don't think that the machine gun on the plane can make much of a difference. ”
"Secondly, as for bombs, I don't think the current planes can carry any heavier bombs except for a few grenades or special mortar shells, after all, this plane weighs only more than 500 kilograms, the payload is very limited, and it can't be aimed at all, and the hit can only depend on God." Major General Schmidt frowned and thought about it, and said truthfully.
"I support Major General Schmidt's opinion, not only because of the problem of aiming and shooting, but more importantly, the structure of the aircraft is still too brittle, adding a machine gun to the seat position is not a big problem, but if you want to load the bomb, you must design the pylon, the center of gravity of the entire aircraft must be readjusted, and when the plane drops the bomb, the instantaneous weight reduction will cause the plane to shake. This is a big impact on the flight. A moment later, Baron Lilinthal also objected to the prince's request.
"Dude, don't you guys be so serious? I've said that extraordinary means can be used, why don't you understand?? "The prince was depressed in his heart. As a traverser, how could the prince not understand that in this era, before the advent of new sights and dive bombing, bombing hits were almost based on faith, and machine-gun attacks were basically based on scare? But everything has to be done step by step, and in order to attract more attention and make Germany pay more attention to the role of aircraft, it is necessary to do some fakes when necessary! Why don't you understand?
"In every way you can think of it, to highlight the actual combat value of the aircraft, you can even simulate bombing by planting bombing points on the ground in advance. I made it very clear, take pictures of these attacks through photos, and then hand them over to me, as long as I am satisfied, all the participants, the year-end bonus will be doubled! "As the future heir of the Kingdom of Bavaria, the prince has made it clear that he is going to cheat, and if you still can't, the prince should consider getting a film studio!
"This is deception! We can't do that! Baron Lilinthal frowned and whispered.
"But this is a very necessary lie." Baron Daimler, who was next to him, didn't say a word, and pulled Count Lilinthal behind him. "Rest assured, we will satisfy you, for the sake of the Kingdom of Bavaria, for the sake of human aviation, all means are available." This is said to make the prince a little sore, although it is the truth, but it is enough to be able to say that the cost is so noble and great!
Daimler really deserves to be a person who can become a business giant, the prince said so, ordered you to fake, let you hype, Daimler naturally can't give up this opportunity, so he immediately patted his chest and said that he promised to complete the task. "We can even mount a camera from a high place and shoot it." Daimler assured.
"Your shameless appearance is very much the style I had back then!" The prince commented very pertinently in his heart.
If you want to make the aviation industry develop, you naturally need to have interests, the development of aircraft in this era is of little use to civilians, if you say that transportation, observation of meteorology, it is not as good as airships, even in the period of World War 1, there are very few aircraft that can fly to the height of airships, not to mention the carrying capacity. So some exaggerated means are still needed!
