High-speed taxiing is a relatively risky test subject for new aircraft, especially for the M40 transport aircraft, a new type of power large aircraft. Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, the M40 transport aircraft is getting faster and faster, the power of the 2 wind and thunder turboprop engines is increasing, and the roar on the airport is also louder, which is louder than the movement of the M29 jet competition aircraft when it takes off, after all, this is a twin-engine large transport aircraft! The roar of two turboprop engines and the sound of two six-bladed torque conversion propellers resounded like a hurricane!

When the gliding speed of the M40 transport aircraft reached 220 kilometers per hour, its position was just two-thirds of the runway, and the crew members operated it in time and accurately, reducing the throttle of the engine to a minimum, and then the huge body of the aircraft slowly slowed down, and finally it stopped more than 200 meters away from the end of the runway, so dangerous! More than 200 meters away from the runway! The last high-slip test was successful!

The crew members clenched their fists with excitement! Xiao Weiguo said happily: "Today is really a beautiful day!" We've taken a big step forward! The day after tomorrow, you can see our M40 transport aircraft soaring into the sky, which is really exciting! ”

Two days passed in a flash, and finally the day of the first flight arrived! This day is June 1st, which is a special day in Xiao Weiguo's memory! On Children's Day, he also hopes that today's M40 large transport aircraft can soar into the sky! Flying like a young eagle in the blue sky, after a series of test flights, transformed into a real Kunpeng!

What Xiao Weiguo didn't expect was that General Andersson, the Swedish Defense Minister, also came. Originally, he didn't expect that this was just the first flight of a transport plane, but he didn't expect that Defense General Andemeng would attach so much importance to it. General Anderson walked down from a car with several of his men, and Xiao Weiguo and the others found out that the Minister of Defense had also arrived. He hurriedly greeted him.

Anderson has always been very concerned about the dynamics of the Dragon Soul aircraft, and heard the news that the M40 large transport aircraft made its first flight. He immediately decided to come to the test flight site, after all, the M40 transport aircraft is not only one of the most important models of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, but also the Swedish government is very optimistic, especially Anderson also decided to purchase a batch of such transport aircraft as military transport aircraft in the future, of course, the civilian type he also wants Swedish airlines to buy.

As far as the eye could see, Anderson and his men had already seen a huge yellow transport plane parked at the beginning of the runway! At first glance see this huge plane. Almost all the officials of the Ministry of Defense couldn't help but gasp! Some even exclaimed in surprise, not even noticing the heel of the person in front of them! The shock brought to these officials by the huge body is incomparably huge! They can barely believe their eyes now! How can the Dragon Soul Aircraft design and manufacture such a huge transport aircraft? I'm afraid that I can't sit down fifty people, this is simply subverting their imagination! The largest aircraft these people have ever seen is the JU52. The M40 is more than a lap larger than the JU52. Of course, Anderson had seen a full-scale prototype before, but the real thing was more spectacular than the prototype.

As soon as Anderson arrived, he warmly shook Xiao Weiguo's hand, and at the same time said loudly: "Philip, congratulations!" Marrying back two beautiful women at once, it's really envious of others! Miss Bai has also come to our Sweden twice, and now she has finally become the most outstanding young lady in our Sweden. I'll help you go back and become an honorary citizen of Sweden while retaining your original citizenship. ”

Xiao Weiguo didn't expect Anderson to take the initiative to bring this up, so he hurriedly thanked: "General Anderson is so polite!" How can I trouble you! ”

Anderson laughed and said, "Philip, now you are the most outstanding young talent and entrepreneur in our Kingdom of Sweden, and even His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister attach great importance to you!" It's nothing! Okay, today I'm here to see the first flight of our large transport plane. How's the preparation now? ”

The M40 large transport aircraft completed the design and manufacturing process in such a short time and entered the test flight stage. This is something that many people are very surprised. They all know how difficult it is to develop a large aircraft, even if some big countries gather the strength of the whole country, and it is also very difficult to complete it. For example, the Soviet heavy bomber TB-3, which was developed in 1930. Straight wing, fixed landing gear, wing skin in lacquered cloth. The fuselage skin is corrugated aluminum plate. On April 28, 1931, the first pre-production aircraft flew for a test flight. April 28, 1932. The first batch of 10 TB-3s was delivered to the troops at the central airfield in Moscow. It took more than two years to complete the development and more than one year to complete the design and manufacture of such a heavy bomber, which was very backward in technology.

Compared with the M40 transport aircraft, the Soviet heavy bomber TB-3 claimed to be a heavy aircraft. However, the normal take-off weight is only 17 tons, and the maximum take-off weight is 20 tons, which is obviously smaller than the M40 transport aircraft. The size of the aircraft is even more incomparable, TB-3 wingspan 22.6 meters, length 16.4 meters, height 3.4 meters, wing area of 56.7 square meters, than the M40 large transport aircraft two laps, of course, this is due to the fact that it is a bomber, the fuselage must be smaller. However, the power of this heavy bomber is pitiful, 4 Mikulin AM-34 piston engines, a single power of 820 horsepower, a total power of 3280 horsepower, and the M40 transport aircraft two engines with a total power of 5000 horsepower, obviously not a class. In terms of fuselage structure, the two are incomparable, and the wing of the heavy bomber TB-3 still uses cloth skin, which is very backward.

That's why the officials of the Swedish Ministry of Defense are very shocked. The M40 large transport aircraft is not only the pride of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, but also the pride of the Kingdom of Sweden, because the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is a Swedish enterprise.

Xiao Weiguo said: "Dear General Anderson, now that our preparations are ready, you can immediately see the world's most advanced large transport plane soaring in front of your eyes!" You sit down at the podium, and we will watch this maiden flight together. Please! ”

The preparations for the first flight of the M40 transport aircraft have long been made, and under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, the 4 crew members strode towards the 01 aircraft! All four of them were dressed in new blue flight suits and white flight helmets, all of them looked energetic, and they were full of confidence in this first flight!

Anderson nodded again and again, just looking at the mental outlook of these test pilots, it can be seen that the first flight of the M40 transport aircraft will be a success! He looked at the huge plane with antiquation! (To be continued.) )
