In fact, when everyone saw the helicopter prototype that Anderson took out, they already thoroughly understood why Anderson had such a strong confidence.

Just in appearance, the helicopter that Anderson took out was a grade above the helicopter of the Krupp Group.

Unlike the original Austrian team, Anderson's local German team did not follow a fixed model of single rotor and tail from the beginning.

The Ka-52 twin-rotor helicopter, designed and developed by the Anderson team, is completely different from the Fa330, which adjusts the tail slurry to offset the reaction forces generated by the large propeller at different speeds.

It directly cancels the tail and then counteracts the unbalanced lift generated by the rotors in another way by reversing the twin rotors.

As the two pilots assigned to the Rheinland Group began to fly the prototype, Anderson also signaled several Rheinland Group scientists to quickly distribute instructions to the generals present.

Through the manual and the senses of the scene, everyone understands why Anderson dared to amplify his words before, swearing that the Krupp Group's Fa330 helicopter, the lift system, fuselage layout, safety and stability, are all garbage.

The Ka-52 taken out by the Rhein consortium is actually borrowed from the helicopter designed by the Soviet Union during the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the later generations, and won three world firsts at that time.

Although in many systems, there is still a certain gap between this card-52 and the historical card-52, and the load capacity is also worrisome, but this is already a good "copycat version".

Reflected in the flight quality is the high efficiency of the overall lift system

In terms of rotor layout, the Ka-52 has a full 12% more lift than a helicopter with the same rotor diameter.

And because it does not use the tail rotor design, its overall size is compact, and the full power of the engine is proudly used to drive the rotors, which improves the safety of the helicopter flying close to the ground.

Due to the large allowable distance of the center of gravity, its maneuverability has also increased, and better stability is guaranteed.

In addition, the hydrodynamic development team led by Anderson successfully came up with a rotor design with a swept 30° angle at the tip of the propeller at the request of Reinhardt. This design reduces the adverse effect of air compressibility on the rotor when the rotor rotates at high speed. When hovering, the Ka-52 rotor is as efficient as 80%, which is the most advanced technology of our time.

With the help of such a design, the Ka-52 can suddenly enter hovering from a high-speed flight state, and the position is accurate and the stability is good. This allowed the Ka-52 to use its onboard weapons in a near-stationary state. This is undoubtedly of great significance for the Ka-52's firepower.

"I said, it's a helicopter, right?" An expert from the Krupp Group, after swallowing his saliva, asked slowly.

It's no wonder that he asks such a question, and anyone who sees this freak-like helicopter in front of him will be so stunned.

The unprecedented twin-rotor design is put aside, but the small wings on both sides look like the standard configuration of a fighter jet!

Because of the lack of technology, there is no way to solve the recoil problem of helicopter rockets for the time being, so the Ka-52 also chooses the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun, a lightweight heavy machine gun.

However, the Ka-52 is more generous, and by adding 2 symmetrical small wings, a total of 4 modified MG-42 machine guns are installed, which is comparable to a quasi-fighter!

Although the problem of being afraid of anti-aircraft weapons is still there, it is completely competent to clear the commanding height of the general town firepower point in a static state suspended in the air.

In the face of other scientists who had already lost some of their tempers, Anderson just smiled and explained for them in depth: "Whether it is a wing or a double rotor, it is aerodynamically symmetrical. And by eliminating the yaw power source, the Ka-52 can easily maintain altitude and is not susceptible to crosswinds.

In addition, the two coaxial rotors of the Ka-52 have a smaller diameter than the single-rotor configuration of the Fa330, so it has a good climb rate and a small turning radius, and can easily avoid obstacles such as treetops when flying at ultra-low altitudes. It is very suitable for fighting in areas with difficult terrain such as mountains and small towns. ”

Then, after a pause, Anderson finally asked rhetorically: "So, I said that several key systems of the previous helicopter were garbage, so there should be no problem, right?" ”

At the same time that Anderson said this sentence again, the roar of the Ka-52 on the side also stopped at the right time.

In the silence, the technical advisors and scientific experts of the Krupp Group, without exception, left beads of nervous sweat.

"How is this possible? How is this possible! The scientist who asked Anderson to bow his head and apologize before was already full of shock and excitement at this moment, and pointed to the Rhine Group Ka-52 helicopter that stopped in the distance with a trembling hand, and hissed: "This helicopter must have reduced some key performance, otherwise it will definitely not be able to achieve the ultra-high data as in the introduction!" ”

"Cutting performance?" Anderson smiled, sighed, and said, "You're not wrong about this. In order to reduce weight, the two pilots on the helicopter will share some tables and equipment, and we have also slightly reduced the thickness of the armor in some of the less important fuselage positions. ”

"Well...... Anderson changed his tone and asked the unconvinced scientist, "I used the freed weight to add 3 more machine guns than your helicopter, is there any problem?" ”

"This ......"

The Krupp scientist was speechless, and he could no longer find the bones in the eggs to pick.

"That's right!" In the midst of his shame, the scientist suddenly remembered something and laughed loudly: "Hahaha...... At the end of the brochure, the pilot productivity is 200% higher than that of the same type of products, why haven't you just verified this? That's always something your helicopter can't achieve! ”

This expert, who was also a little level, laughed at the moment and seemed to be interfering and weak.

Everyone knows that even if this last piece of data is not verified, the helicopters of the Le Rhine consortium have already created an overwhelming performance advantage over the Krupp consortium.

The result is already obvious, is it really interesting to fight for a small win or loss?

Besides, the Ka-52 helicopter hosted by the Anderson team has proven itself to be safer and more stable, in this case, is there a problem to say that the survival rate of the products is 200% higher than that of your Krupp Group?

"No problem," Anderson didn't argue too much, but laughed in a louder voice than the other party, "Although I can't shoot down the helicopter to show you if the productivity has improved, I don't mind revealing a part of the layout to you." ”

As she spoke, Anderson conceited a young scientist handing over an excerpt of the document.

"Equipped with two turboshaft engines of the BM801 model,. And the two engines are located far apart, which reduces the possibility of both engines being injured by the opponent's guns at the same time, thus improving survivability! ”

It's that simple means?

Of course it's not all!

The most important thing is that Anderson led his team to successfully come up with the ejection seat system!

In 1938, the Luftwaffe experimented with elastic-powered ejection seats, but they did not meet the practical requirements. Later, compressed air-powered ejection seats were developed, but none of them were satisfactory.

It wasn't until Anderson, under the guidance of Reinhardt, that he pioneered the ejection seat powered by gunpowder, which installed the modified anti-aircraft gunpowder on the aircraft seat, and used the force of the ammunition explosion to eject the pilot and the seat out of the cabin.

This is the most advanced technology of our time, not to mention helicopters, even if it is used in fighters and bombers, it is an absolute superior choice.

"What a cheat! You're putting this cutting-edge technology on a helicopter that even a fighter desperately needs! How can we compare?! ”

This is the common complaint of the scientists and technical advisors of the Krupp Group.
