"Impossible! When pigs fly! There is no structure capable of adapting to such a powerful engine...... Maybe it should be used for a sturdy device like a tank. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "An old expert in the research and development of the aircraft fuselage structure looked at his simulated experimental model and once again disintegrated under experimental conditions due to insufficient strength, took off his glasses and shook his head and said.

"Reinforcement of internal supports! If one support is not enough, add two! Isn't it okay yet? Another technical engineer frowned and offered his opinion, his tone full of resentment, like a woman who was reluctant to let go when she saw a beautiful dress.

The engine is as important to an airplane as the heart, and the reason that restricts human beings from flying higher and farther is because the power of the engine is not strong enough...... Now he has found a "heart" so strong that if he doesn't stuff it into the plane, he feels that even the heavens will not let him go.

"What are you kidding, if this development continues, won't the plane get heavier and heavier? Anything that can fly into the sky is naturally extremely light, and what is the use of making a heavy thing and flying clumsy to death? Before the old engineer could speak, a middle-aged designer on the other side said negatively.

You know, a few years ago, the planes that could fly into the sky were all hundreds of kilograms of small beans, and now the aircraft being tested has weighed more than 1 ton, which has made many designers very dissatisfied. Now that I heard that there was going to be more weight, everyone thought it was an endless dead end, a vicious circle.

Although the engine has an impressive 1,000 horsepower, it has to double or even triple the weight of the aircraft in order to carry such a powerful power - what would be the most powerful engine in the eyes of these designers? Wouldn't it be better to switch to a smaller, lighter one?

Originally, the Ming Empire had its own all-metal aircraft design, in fact, this aircraft is not so much an all-metal structure, but more than half of the metal skin structure, in many places it is still a wooden internal support, and the tail is made of wooden structure, and the weight is relatively light. It's a pity that this plane just flew in front of Wang Jue's interview half a year ago, and now it is facing the tragic fate of elimination.

Today's new aircraft have been replaced with stronger metal as a whole, but for design reasons, fixed landing gear is still used. Although it looks old-fashioned, the current aircraft is at least more aerodynamic than the previous biplanes.

"Gentlemen, we are now in a new way...... In the past, we used to design the aircraft and then find or design a new engine according to the volume and needs...... Now that we have a brand new engine, it's time to equip it with the right plane! One of the engineers at the head ignored the quarrels of his subordinates and said slowly: "This is a new design idea, which is worthy of our in-depth study." ”

"Once upon a time, we had a ridiculous theory that a single-engine aircraft capable of flying into the sky could not weigh more than a ton." The old man stroked the model of the crack in the wing, and said firmly: "This TY-3 engine has allowed us to successfully break through this wrong conclusion." It turns out that at least it can take a ton of planes into the sky, regardless of performance, right? ”

Another expert in the field of aviation had a happy expression on his face, because the theoretical breakthrough that the leader designer had just mentioned was something he had been trying to prove. The seemingly normal notion that a single-engine aircraft can weigh more than a ton has been called a fallacy by the aviation community until two years ago.

Aren't they, aviation people, all their lives exploring, so that human beings can fly into the blue sky, so that human beings can carry more things to fly into the blue sky, so that human beings can fly faster, more stable and more calmly in the blue and distant sky? But if it's only a ton of weight, how can it be enough for so many of the requirements mentioned above?

"Reinforcement of the load-bearing structure of the wing...... If possible, wouldn't it be a good idea to integrate with the built-in fuel tank and borrow from each other structurally? The various departments worked together to find a way to get the plane flying with as little weight gain as possible. The leader of the aviation industry spoke, and in his usual slow tone, set the tone for the whole thing.

In fact, another design scheme has been carried out in another aircraft factory in the Ming Empire, and the other scheme is more in line with the basic requirements of the new aircraft because it does not have the constraints of the original aircraft design framework-in order to strengthen the structural strength of the aircraft wing in the wing, they have added a lot of support structures to the wing roots.

In order to prevent these supports from becoming useless dead structures, the designers cleverly designed the landing gear with strong resistance in flight into a style that can be stored into the fuselage of the aircraft. This allows the new aircraft to experience less drag in the air and to have a more aerodynamic shape.

Of course, since the development of this aircraft has been re-established, there is still a long time to go before the design is successful. Moreover, the military of the Ming Empire, even the most optimistic aircraft design experts, did not believe that single-engine ultra-high-speed fighters could become the mainstream of future fighter design.

At least for now, it seems that a more conservative design scheme is more likely to succeed, and all the engineers and military representatives of the Ming Empire who are responsible for these projects are also more inclined to a more secure solution to the problem of weaponry and equipment of the future air force of the Ming Empire.

But even if it's conservative to the extreme, the advancement of technology is exciting for everyone. The aircraft in front of him was already the size of the original biplane, and the mere estimate was already exciting for its future users. Although no physical machine has been developed yet, it can still be seen from the model that it is terrifying.

Yes, terrible! For the officers of the Ming Imperial Air Force who were present, they felt that the aircraft being tested could really be described as terrifying. They had never seen such a heavy plane, and they had not heard of a monster that could theoretically fly a range of 400 km.

"If the current weight can fly into the sky, this aircraft can carry more than 1 tonne...... If it could carry a 1-ton bomb, it could completely subvert all existing bombers......" In the distance, an Air Force officer introduced the failed aircraft to his commander: "Unfortunately, it looks like the structure is still not up to standard." ”

"My God...... Our existing bombers, biplane bombers with 4 engines, are not even able to carry so many bombs. The officer exclaimed, "How can such a single-engine aircraft do such a thing?" Then our equipment should all be decommissioned. ”

Hearing what his commander said, the officer nodded and replied, "But, now, it seems that this kind of aircraft is still not suitable for flying...... I've always felt that their design to the standards of a fighter jet is too outrageous...... This engine was supposed to serve the bombers, with which our Air Force would have an attack force independent of the Army. ”

"What you say is very reasonable, in order to ensure the independence and development of the Air Force in the future, we need to reflect our value on the battlefield." The higher-ranking commander nodded, and said in agreement: "Not only the value of reconnaissance but also harassment, we must have independent offensive means, enough to destroy the enemy's offensive means!" ”

"That's perfectly fine, sir! Because we have more reliable alternatives...... Remember the transport aircraft project that we funded and successfully developed? The lower-ranking officer continued to his commander with an excited face: "The follow-up high-load model of the Anyun 1 aircraft was put on hold indefinitely because there was no suitable power system......

The senior officer's eyes lit up when his subordinates mentioned the project of the Anyun 1 transport aircraft, and of course he knew that the project had been put on hold indefinitely, and that if that project could be successful, the Air Force might be able to have an unrivaled bomber in a short period of time.

"You mean the Anyun 2 transport aircraft project! Very good! Very good! Contact the manufacturer of Anyun 1 transport aircraft immediately to start R&D and production as soon as possible! As long as the Anyun 2 transport aircraft is successful, it will be changed to a new bomber and equipped with our pilots! Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Maybe we can have a bomber that can fly faster than a fighter!" ”

The engineers of the Ming Empire and the air force officers in charge of such projects are so sure that the aircraft has a broader future, in fact, it is only because of a small thing that seems insignificant to others. Maybe the people who have experienced this incident have forgotten about it, but they still remember, remember the small miracle that happened in the history of world air transport!

Do you still remember that in order to save time in the battle of forcibly crossing the Liaohe River, the Air Force once used a few Anyun 1 transport planes that had just been put into service to airlift some naval officers to the front line in eastern Liaodong? From this incident, several leading officials and aircraft designers saw the carrying capacity of the aircraft, as well as the need to develop aircraft with a larger load capacity.

The Dragon Spirit Knight is in a bad condition right now, with a low-grade fever and a lymphatic or goiter on his jaw, accompanied by pain...... There is no way to make up for the time being, please understand readers...... When the condition improves, Long Ling will make up for it for everyone immediately.

In addition, tonight is two shifts for the time being, these days are not in a good state, I don't know if there will be a situation, please bear with me! I'm sorry! (To be continued.) )
