Chapter 60 M20 Transport Aircraft Product Briefing

An agreement was reached with Carl on the production of a common aluminum alloy, and the two sides prepared to go their separate ways. There is also an alloy production workshop in the Bofors factory, which can be quickly put into production with a little modification, and of course, Carl also decided to build a special aviation aluminum alloy production line, after all, these aviation aluminum alloy products will definitely sell well in the future, and I am afraid that these production lines will not be able to be busy at that time.

Philip continued to lead the construction of the factory at the Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company and provided technical support for the design of more variant types of torque converter propellers and exhaust gas turbochargers, after all, he was the only one who knew the most about both products. Although the chief designer Cam has deep attainments in the field of aircraft design, these two products are innovative products after all, and belong to the field of aero engines, and Cam can only reluctantly preside over the design of these two products.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the Nordic winter has passed, the snow and ice have melted all over Sweden, everything has recovered, and the winter is relatively long. From November to March and April. Spring and autumn are relatively short in Northern Europe, and summer soon begins.

When the Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company was initially built, it was already June 1931. The entire factory welcomed engineers and skilled workers from more than 300 countries, making this deserted place suddenly lively.

The company's first product, the all-metal torque converter propeller, has finally been put into mass production, and the exhaust gas turbocharger has also entered the trial production stage.

The first type of three-bladed torque converter propeller is an optical transport aircraft from Messerschmidt. This light transport aircraft has been improved and replaced with a three-bladed torque conversion propeller trial-produced by the Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and finally successfully completed all the test flight subjects and will be put into mass production soon.

Due to the application of the three-bladed torque conversion propeller, the performance of this transport aircraft exceeds similar models by a lot! Because this torque conversion propeller nearly doubles the aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft's powertrain, and it is well adapted in all working conditions. The M20 has a 500 kg increased maximum take-off weight, a 350 kg higher deadweight capacity, a maximum speed of 250 km/h, and a cruising speed of 180 km/h, but fuel consumption has dropped by 5%. These changes have led to a surge of interest in the M20 transport aircraft among major European airlines!

What is the most important thing for a civilian transport aircraft? Safe! Fuel efficient! Quiet! Whole! Province! Oil! Say something important three times! As some experts have said: civil transport aircraft, especially passenger aircraft, must be safe enough and fuel-efficient enough, otherwise they will be given to airlines for nothing, and no one will want them. Therefore, the lower fuel consumption of the M20 transport aircraft compared to other transport aircraft means lower operating costs, which is the most important point for airlines.

So, various airlines formed a delegation to Messerschmidt to investigate, Messerschmidt also held a special product introduction meeting for this purpose, and invited Philip to Germany, of course, Anna also came, you must know that the two of them have not been back to Germany for almost half a year.

Messerschmidt is located in Munich, the capital of Bavaria. Eleven airlines from Europe took a fancy to the M20 transport aircraft and sent their representatives to Messerschmidt to inspect the M20.

On the huge helipad outside the Messerschmitt premises, a brand-new M20 transport plane is quietly parked waiting for the customer. Next to the M20 transport aircraft, Messerschmidt has set up a temporary greenhouse where product presentations and study tours will be held.

The major airlines sent to the inspectors are experienced pilots and pilots, their requirements for civil transport aircraft are very demanding, because at this time the air transport industry is affected by the world economic crisis, especially sluggish, how to reduce operating costs has become the most concerned issue for every airline, you must know that many airlines have closed down in this economic crisis, and the rest of these are also living in losses, and now I heard that there is such a new transport aircraft, which can save 5% of aviation fuel, I want to buy this kind of aircraft back and replace those old aircraft that have reached the end of their service life, so that the operating costs can be saved a lot!

Similar to M20 light transport aircraft, fuel consumption in the air basically to reach more than 100 liters per hour, saving 5% is about 6 liters, flying down, you can save dozens of liters of fuel, an airline hundreds of aircraft a year to accumulate a lot!

Messerschmitt personally presided over the product introduction meeting, and under the gaze of everyone, the chief designer walked straight to the M20 transport aircraft and began to introduce to the representatives of the delegation: "Welcome to the Messerschmitt aircraft manufacturing company, I am the company's chief designer Willy Messerschmidt, and I am also the designer of the M20 in front of me. Let me now introduce you to the M20 transport aircraft. ”

As soon as Messerschmitt's voice fell, the delegates applauded, for the designer, the airline people had already heard of his name, but it was the first time they had seen him.

Seeing the applause of the delegates, Messerschmidt felt more confident in his heart, and he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, our M20 transport aircraft is the first transport aircraft after the establishment of the company, it has stable flight and low operating costs, it can fly stably at a very low speed, and the take-off distance is only 150 meters. It can be used for transporting passengers, parachuting training, transporting supplies, etc. The M20 transport aircraft has the characteristics of very good low-altitude performance and economy, simple use and maintenance and flight safety, and can take off and land on flat dirt runways or grassy fields. Even if the engine stops in the air, the aircraft can still glide and land safely. ”

A representative of Lufthansa said loudly: "Could Messerschmitt please introduce the specific parameters of the M20 transport aircraft, and we can have a comparison." ”

Messerschmidt smiled and nodded, "Okay, since everyone is interested, then I'll talk about it in detail." The M20 transport aircraft adopts the most cutting-edge technology of the current aviation industry, the all-metal three-bladed torque conversion propeller, you may have heard of this term, but the M20 transport aircraft is the first aircraft in the world to be equipped with this kind of propeller. The aircraft weighs only 1,800 kg empty, has a maximum take-off weight of 3,150 kg, a maximum load of 1,050 kg, and can carry up to 10 passengers. It has a fuel tank volume of up to 800 liters and can accommodate the aircraft to fly 1300 km. ”

The representative of Lufthansa exclaimed: "Sounds good!" But we still want to experience it in fact to determine if it's really the aircraft we need. ”

Messerschmitt laughed and said, "No problem at all! You can take turns to fly and see how the M20 conquers the most discerning airlines! ”
