Chapter 1220: Helicopter Improvements

Flett's face changed even more, in the entire German military industry development, Führer Ciric played an irreplaceable role, and the direction he pointed out was finally proved to be completely correct.

So much so that many military experts are praising that Führer Ciric is simply omnipotent, playing an irreplaceable role in various fields, and many times the problems they encounter cannot be solved, but the Führer Ciric pointed it out at once, even the most professional people, are extremely impressed with Führer Ciric.

And now, the Führer Shirek actually said that this helicopter has fatal flaws, then there must be something, so in this way, is the helicopter that he spent more than ten years of painstaking efforts to develop, going to be in vain?

This made Flett's little heart tremble, and he didn't even have confidence in the next step of his helicopter's performance, and said cautiously to Ciric: "Führer Shirek, what is the fatal flaw of this plane?" ”

"Reverse torque, this helicopter can not be effectively overcome, which will cause the aircraft to be unable to maintain excellent balance performance in flight, as long as the outside meteorological conditions exceed, it will make the aircraft balance broken, there will be a risk of crashing at any time." Ciric said.

This sentence immediately surprised Flett's heart, and sure enough, as the outside world legend, the Führer Ciric could always point out the problem of his own plane at once!

In the process of developing the helicopter, what has always shrouded the minds of various designers is this reversal torque.

When the propeller is spinning, it can actually be imagined that one wing is rotating, and the rest is the fuselage, so why not the wing not moving, but the fuselage rotating?

The force is reciprocal, and when the propeller is rotating, the fuselage also wants to rotate with it. (If you hold on to the propeller of the model airplane and don't let it turn, then the engine will turn the plane in reverse.) )

In fixed-wing aircraft, this is an inevitable problem, but there are larger wings behind the fixed-wing aircraft, and at the same time, in the fuselage, this torque is canceled, even so, when the aircraft takes off and lands, if you are not careful, you may still be taken into the ditch by this problem, and the fuselage will inexplicably flip, resulting in a big top.

For fixed-wing aircraft, this problem is not particularly serious, but on helicopters the problem is quite terrible.

In order for the helicopter to rise directly, the lift generated by the propeller at the top must be greater than the gravity, so that the propeller of the propeller aircraft is very large, and the torque generated is also quite strong.

How to overcome this moment? Just look at the current Frett's helicopter, its rear fuselage, with four tall vertical tails, is much larger than the vertical tail area of ordinary aircraft, and Frett is in this way to increase the stability of the course, but this is only a palliative solution.

Flett's solution doesn't solve the problem.

At this time, the helicopter was still flying, but Flette felt the sweat on his forehead whizzing out, and the Führer Ciric said that there was a serious flaw, so will this helicopter be discontinued because of this flaw?

"So, Führer Ciric, how do we overcome this flaw?" Flett asked cautiously, "We have indeed been bothered by this question for a long time. ”

His eyes were on Ciric, and if Ciric said that he could not be solved, then the helicopter would be sentenced to death, and his ideals would be shattered.

"The solution is also very simple, just provide a reverse torque." Ciric said.

How to fix it? If you look at later generations, you will know that all single-rotor helicopters have a tail in the tail, and there is also a propeller rotating there.

What is that propeller for? Of course, it is to blow the air flow to the side, which is just used to counteract the reverse torque, and at the same time, control the output torque of the tail propeller, and the helicopter can easily steer while hovering.

Ciric was only responsible for providing ideas, and as soon as he said this idea, it immediately made Flett's eyes happy, yes, this is the best solution to the problem of helicopters.

And, in this way, the tail section doesn't have to be so bloated at all, just a small tail and a suitable propeller!

In later generations, more than 90% of the helicopters are of this layout, only a small number of double-rotor helicopters, can be coaxial installation of two rotors rotating in the opposite direction, can also be installed in the front and rear of the fuselage with a rotor in the opposite direction, so that the torque generated cancels each other, there is no need to set up the anti-torque tail rotor.

But the rotor has always been the mainstream, and the plan proposed by Ciric has made the designers suddenly open, and a new cross-era aircraft is about to step on the stage of history!

Although the German helicopter had been developed in World War II, it did not have too many equipment troops and did not play a big role, and only after continuing to improve after the war did it begin to show its superiority on the battlefield.

And now, driven by Ciric, helicopters have also begun to develop rapidly.

"Carrier-based helicopters for the Navy are only a small part of the demand for helicopters." Cirek continued to express his opinion: "In our army, in the air force, a large number of helicopters are needed. ”

"For example, our mountain division is equipped with a certain number of helicopters, which can help us overcome the various environments of the mountains, it does not need a flat runway, as long as there is a small open space to land." "And such helicopters, preferably large, can even lift our various vehicles," Ciric said. ”

"We can also try to put weapons such as rockets on helicopters and transform them into armed helicopters for ground attacks, which can also be equipped with ground troops, so that the ground forces no longer need to call for air support, and they have a strong fire support capability."

The development of helicopters takes a long time, but under the stimulation of war, the process will be greatly shortened, for example, now, Germany has begun to develop a variety of precision-guided weapons, and the anti-tank missiles remotely controlled by the wire are also in the sequence, so the rocket for the helicopter, and even the anti-tank missile in the later stage, can be completed in a few years.

A fire erupted in front of Fryter's eyes, and under the outline of Führer Cirich, the helicopter would become the main equipment in the future, and he would also become the technical veteran of German aviation like Messerschmitt and Dr. Cooke!
