"Here, have a drink. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Howard's room is even larger, inside and out, even on the second floor!

Coming to the wine cabinet and opening a glass of champagne, Howard poured a glass for Ciric: "I have a lot of admiration for President Adolf, and I also have a lot of respect for the Ciric brothers. You are all great men of Germany. ”

"Born in troubled times, there is no way to do it." "We just want the world to be peaceful, people to live and work in peace, and wouldn't it be better for Mr. Howard to do what he loves," Hillek said. ”

The two drank the wine, and Howard was quite interested: "What is the matter with you going to the United States this time?" I'm in the United States, and I still have some connections, so if you need help, please let me know. ”

Ciric hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it directly: "Actually, I want to meet Mr. Howard when I go to the United States this time. ”

Meet yourself? Howard was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter with me?" ”

"The journey across the ocean is so long, for many people that it's a journey, but a lot of people want to get to their destination faster." "What if there could be a big airliner that could cross the ocean, Mr. Howard," said Ciric. ”

Airliner! Across the ocean!

Now the number of civil airliners is quite small, everything is being explored, and up to now, more than a hundred passenger routes have been established around the world, but the average life of these routes is only about a year. The reason is that there are no applicable aircraft.

Aircraft carry very small passenger capacity, transportation costs are high, companies that simply operate passenger transport are losing money, and the European and American governments have financial subsidies for the civil aviation industry.

At the same time, the planes of various airlines are still mainly wooden planes, although the price is cheap, but the safety performance is very poor, and air crashes occur from time to time. Therefore, the new all-metal, large passenger capacity, high speed and more comfortable passenger aircraft are the direction of development.

Now, the Boeing 247 of the United States and the Douglas DC-1 aircraft have completed test flights, and these two aircraft mark the birth of modern transport aircraft, and their structure, performance, and ride comfort have been greatly improved.

At the same time, Germany is not far behind, and the JU-52 transport aircraft produced by Junkers is also quite representative, sturdy and durable, and is known as the "Junker aunt".

But now, there are still no intercontinental aircraft, and the longest range of these aircraft is no more than 2,000 kilometers! And now, if you want to achieve intercontinental flight, the longest range is more than 4,000 kilometers! If you want to fly back and forth, the maximum range will be tens of thousands of kilometers!

In this day and age, that is unthinkable!

However, if there is a dream, there will be the motivation to achieve it!

For Howard, the challenge is higher and faster, which is the goal of his life, and now, there is another one, which is to challenge further!

If we talk about bombers, it will definitely cause alarm in the top of the United States, but now, talking about ordinary airliners, completely civilian!

Hearing Ciric's words, Howard immediately became interested: "You mean, to make a flight across the ocean?" If this is the case, the size of the aircraft must be quite large, and the twin engines are probably not enough. ”

Now, Douglas's DC-1, which is almost the industry standard, has a single wing, so that the landing gear can be shorter, and at the same time directly retracted, with the engines on both sides of the wing, such a layout is the most suitable layout for passenger aircraft.

But now, it is clearly not enough.

"Yes, if you want to build a passenger plane across the ocean, twin engines are far from enough, my suggestion is to use 4 engines." "In my room, there are a few drawings that I drew myself, and now I let my men get them," said Ciric. ”

When Ciric arrived, Graff was at the door, waiting all the time, and received Ciric's orders, and soon Graff brought Ciric's drawings.

It's just a sketch, after all, Ciric is not a professional aircraft designer.

"Ciric, I really didn't expect you're still proficient in this, and you draw beautifully!" Howard said.

"It's just an idea of mine." "This kind of aircraft, which needs to be tens of meters long and has a take-off weight of more than 50 tons, I think it can carry passengers about 100 meters and carry intercontinental flights," said Ciric. What do you think? Interested? ”

Holding Ciric's sketch and looking at the imposing 4 engines on it, Howard finally spat out a word in his mouth: "!" ”

"Then we can develop it jointly." "We also have a strong demand in our country, and we can design and test flights together," Hilek said. ”

"No problem." "We can invest in R&D," Howard said. ”

Now, Howard has been designing the fastest flying aircraft, if you develop a large passenger aircraft, I'm afraid you don't have so much energy, now, develop together, it's a good way!

I really didn't expect that everything went well, and on the ship, the main thing was done!

Historically, Germany has not planned large bombers, such as the Junker Ju390, Focke-Wolff's Ta400, and Messerschmidt's Me264B.

The last one, in particular, is even more perverted because it uses six engines!

It's a pity that for various reasons, the German strategic bomber project ended in nothing!

What can be a threat to the United States? Strategic bombers are a must! Now, Germany is developing in all aspects, and many places need capital and technology, if only Germany develops it itself, it will undoubtedly be very slow, and now, pull up the Xiusi company, it will be different!

What's more, in this research and development process, German engineers will also learn a lot of American technology, such as stress skinning, even if it does not succeed in the end, it is very useful!

"It's a pity, our engine, horsepower is not enough, if you want to develop such a large aircraft, you need at least a thousand horsepower engines." Howard said.

Now, the mainstream power of aero engines is only about 600 horsepower, and it is obviously insufficient to propel such a large aircraft!

Hearing this, Ciric said: "Don't worry, the engine, it's not a problem, our domestic BMW company has been developing a new type of high-power engine, the power may exceed 1500 horsepower, but now BMW has some problems with capital turnover, this engine is still on paper." ”

What are you doing in the U.S.? Win sympathy and pull sponsorship! There are so many projects in China, and a lot of funds are needed!
