Chapter 1219: Helicopter Display

After coming to this world, Cillik used the knowledge in his brain as a golden finger to make Germany's science and technology develop rapidly, and under the leadership of Cillik, Germany's military science and technology are leading this era.

In the cutting-edge field, rockets, atomic bombs, long-range bombers, Germany has begun to make steady progress, conventional weapons, tanks, fighters, artillery, to avoid all kinds of detours, directly the most suitable manufacturing.

However, Ciric could not be exhaustive, and the whole World War II was expanded, and there were too many aspects involved.

Ciric's focus on the development of fighter jets, such as the air-cooled F190 and jets, has appeared earlier than history, but Ciric has overlooked another aircraft that is not very common in this era, that is, helicopters.

Speaking of the originator of helicopters, there will be a lot of debate, the earliest statement, is Leonardo da Vinci, on his paintings, helicopters have appeared, of course, the level of technology at that time is impossible to achieve.

It is only in recent decades that the idea of a helicopter has become popular again.

In 1904, the then Russian scientist Professor Zhukovsky published a paper entitled "The Load Capacity of the Rotor", which caused great repercussions in Russia, and then the development of helicopters began to prevail in Russia, the most famous of which were Sikorsky and Yurev.

At the same time, in Germany, the first to build a helicopter was Baumgato, who began to build a coaxial helicopter in 1913, but this type of helicopter could not be left empty for a long time. The ensuing outbreak of the First World War interrupted the development of German helicopters.

So in 1927, Flett began working on helicopters. He built a helicopter that used large rotors to provide lift, flew on propeller propulsion, and was equipped with a 20-horsepower engine. During the test, the helicopter successfully lifted off, but the stability was not good, and the sudden crosswind caused the aircraft to lose its balance, crash to the ground, and the test was terminated.

Without the impetus of Ciric, the progress of German helicopters developed almost historically.

Frett was not going to give up his helicopter, he was just waiting for the opportunity, and this was 1935.

This year, the German Navy proposed to develop a helicopter that could be used on the ship, and for the Navy, if they wanted to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, they could only rely on the ship's seaplane, and there was no big problem in catapulting and taking off, the main thing was to land, they had to land on the water, and then the warship's crane would recover it.

In combat, recovery will be delayed at any time, and if there are aircraft that can take off and land vertically, then it will be much more convenient for the navy.

So, after getting the news, Fletct immediately invested in the construction of a factory near Berlin specializing in the production of carrier-based helicopters. It didn't take long for him to develop the Fi-184 helicopter, using a 150-horsepower Sh14a engine and a three-piece blade with a blade diameter of 12 meters. In 1936, the Fi-185 was developed, which was similar in appearance to the Fi-184, but the performance was still not ideal.

During this time, another aviation expert in Germany also began the development of helicopters, that is, Focke-Wolff, who had a bigger pomp and invited all the aviation scientists in Germany, including Dr. Jackel and Dr. Gast, to work together to overcome difficulties.

A few years later, their F-61 was also built, which won the favor of the Luftwaffe.

However, up to now, their helicopters cannot be said to be completely mature, and they still have big technical problems, which is also the reason why they have not been finalized and put into service until now.

When Ciric got out of the car with a group of high-ranking officials and saw the helicopter preparing for a flight demonstration, Ciric knew what the problem was.

That's where the advantage of the traverser comes in, and the technicians here have to work hard, do a lot of research, and walk through countless twists and turns before they can find the right way.

But what about the traverser? Just take the plan of the later generations, in the simplest terms, it is the layout of the jet fighter, which has gone through many attempts in history, and the final result is that the jet and the propeller aircraft are different, the propeller aircraft is in the front, the engine of the jet aircraft is in the back, and the layout of the fuselage is completely different.

It takes a long time to try this, but Ciric can point it out directly and reduce a big detour.

And now helicopters, it's the same.

It was also by chance that Ciric got the news that the Navy was developing a carrier-based helicopter, and after hearing about it, he immediately asked him to organize an air show to show himself, and now, when Ciric saw the real thing, he knew the detour he was taking.

At this time, Frett was excitedly greeted and said to Ciric: "Report to the Führer, our Fi-282V aircraft is about to make a flight demonstration, and it is very happy to show you the powerful performance of our aircraft. ”

In the makeshift viewing area, Cirek sat in a chair and looked at the plane in the distance, for safety reasons, of course, in case of mechanical failure, it would not hurt the senior personnel.

"First up is the take-off and landing show, Führer Ciric, can you see that clearing in the distance? The one with the circle, our plane, can take off and land in a narrow area of 4 meters by 4 meters, which is a necessary condition to be able to get on a warship. Flett explained to Ciric.

Vertical take-off and landing is very practical in the navy, and the deck of the navy can also be demarcated for such an area.

Ciric took the binoculars and clearly looked at the helicopter over there, which was taking off leisurely, and the whole process was like an acrobatic trick, taking off from the circle area here, flying up three or four meters, and then moving more than fifty meters to the side, and then, in the circle area on this side, he landed carefully.

The prototype of this helicopter is fully enclosed, but when it is manufactured in the later stage, it becomes open-top, of course, so that the pilot can easily observe the surrounding conditions, which is very beneficial for take-off and landing.

I saw the pilot operating the helicopter, shaking it back and forth more than a dozen times, and finally landed accurately.

"Good!" The naval commander who was present first applauded: "With this precise take-off and landing, our navy can place orders for more than fifty planes." ”

"Thank you, Commander, for the compliment, and we'll continue to do the air show, so please keep watching." Frett said excitedly.

"This helicopter has a fatal flaw." At this moment, Ciric spoke, and his words made everyone present stunned.
