Chapter 154: The Turboprop Engine Against the Sky
Gustav's face turned red and said embarrassedly: "It's all because I have no eyes!" However, Philip left the Krupp company, maybe it was the right choice, you see that he is now better than me, and the reputation of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is now greater than that of the Krupp company! ”
Philip modestly said: "Where! Anyway, I'm still a member of the Krupp family, but I've just left the Krupp company! For Krupp, I am still very optimistic, at the first Stockholm Defense Exhibition, Krupp company contract turnover ranked second! At this defense exhibition, you also came up with a lot of good things, and I think that at this defense exhibition, Krupp will definitely gain a lot! ”
Gustav was even more embarrassed, and sneered: "But compared to the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, our Krupp Company is far behind!" Take the M30 business transport plane, which just made a big splash, and I think after such a show, those airlines will immediately flock to it. And your jet engines and turboprops, which are all revolutionary products, alas, if only our Krupp company also had such products. It's a pity that we only have some strength in tanks and artillery, and other areas of munitions manufacturing don't even want to think about it! ”
Hitler smiled and said: "I think your two companies should strengthen cooperation, our Germany needs more and stronger armaments, and you are the pillar of the German military industry." ”
Philip and Gustav nodded hurriedly, in response to Hitler's proposal.
Only then did Gustav look at Dai Yulong and Bai Wanrou on the side, and wondered a little in his heart, what did these two Orientals have to do with Hitler or Philip, he knew that Hitler was conceited and would not get so close to ordinary people. Except, of course, when he was speaking, so he was surprised and said, "Who are these two?" ”
Seeing this, Philip hurriedly said: "These two are friends from the Chinese military delegation, and they are also big customers of our Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex, one is Lieutenant General Dai Yulong, and the other is Lieutenant Colonel Bai Wanrou, I think Krupp can also become a partner of the Chinese military delegation." Your tanks and cannons are very suitable for China! ”
Immediately afterwards, Philip said to Dai Yulong and Bai Wanju: "Brother Dai, Wanrou, this gentleman is the head of the most famous weapons manufacturer in Germany, Krupp Company, Gustav, and also my elder, I think you may be able to use the weapons of the Krupp Company!" ”
Gustav hurriedly stretched out his hand enthusiastically, shook it with Dai Yulong and Bai Wanrou one by one, and then said with a smile: "Welcome Chinese friends to our Krupp booth for visit and consultation, we are also very willing to provide advanced weapons to China!" ”
Although the language barrier. Philip's translation was needed, but everyone still had a good conversation, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for dinner, so Philip beckoned these people to go to the defense exhibition office area together, ordered some light meals, and everyone simply settled on this meal. After all, tens of thousands of people visited the defense exhibition, and they basically used light meals to solve their lunch.
Philip doesn't know yet. The exhibition area of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex was launched this morning. It almost made the crowd crowded! Of course, the first few days of the defense exhibition, it was not open to the general public, but to professional visitors. Therefore, these insiders can see at once that this time the Stockholm International Defense Exhibition. The Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium is definitely the most eye-catching! The Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium has changed from the dark horse of the first Stockholm International Defense Exhibition to the absolute NO.1 of this Defense Exhibition!
The exhibition area of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is not only the largest, but most of the exhibits are physical objects, unlike other exhibitors, except for small arms such as firearms. All on display are some models. Moreover, the three planes in the exhibition area of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex are definitely the brightest stars of the entire defense exhibition. In particular, the M40 large transport aircraft, with its huge body, allows visitors to enter the exhibition hall to see it from afar. Because its height is close to 9 meters, which is equivalent to a three-story building, and the wingspan is close to 30 meters, such a behemoth, as long as the audience sees it at first sight, they are all amazed by its hugeness, and they will naturally have a strong interest in it, so most of the audience will go to the exhibition area of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex as soon as they enter the exhibition hall.
When they entered the exhibition area of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, they were even more shocked. The entire exhibition area of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex is not only the largest, but also exhibits the most physical objects. Not to mention the M40 transport aircraft, it deserves to be a big guy. Even the M30 business transport aircraft under its wings is not small, and from the front, the two huge glasses in the cockpit of this aircraft look like two big eyes, which is particularly beautiful. There is also the M29 Athletic aircraft, but unlike all aircraft, it has no propellers, but it has a large circular hole in the back of the fuselage! The shape design of these three aircraft is very beautiful, each of them is a streamlined fuselage, how many viewers have seen such a design?
Looking at the wind and thunder series engines next to it, the professional audience shouted that it was going against the sky! The wind and thunder jet engine has a completely different body from the aviation piston engine, even these professional visitors have not seen it, at most some people have heard of it, but they have only heard that someone is studying this kind of engine that relies on gas to do work, but I have not heard of any company developed it, I didn't expect this kind of engine to appear on the booth of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, how can this not shock them?
There is also the wind and thunder turbo engine next to it, which is somewhat similar to the wind and thunder jet engine, but it is not exactly the same, because its nozzle is very small, but a shaft sticks out from the front of the press, and even many professional viewers do not understand!
Fortunately, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium has erected a display board next to these exhibits, on which the main parameters and performance of each exhibit are clearly marked. The wind and thunder jet engine is not so eye-catching, because its performance parameters are marked with thrust, many professional visitors can not immediately associate the thrust of 2000 kg and the engine power, because if you don't understand the jet engine, you don't know what the concept of 2000 kg of thrust is, it will be equivalent to how much horsepower, although thrust and power can not be simply converted.
On the contrary, the wind and thunder turboprop attracted more visitors, because the display board clearly indicated that its weight was 700 to 800 kilograms, but the take-off equivalent power reached 2600 horsepower, and the maximum state equivalent power reached 2500 horsepower! Some other parameters are not incomprehensible to the audience, but just in terms of engine weight and power, it is completely beyond people's imagination! You must know that the most advanced piston engine now, its power-to-weight ratio is only 1 kilowatt per kilogram, that is, every kilogram of weight of the engine can output one kilowatt of power, like BMW's 715 horsepower engine, the weight has reached more than 500 kilograms, and the 1000 horsepower Wasp engine of Pratt & Whitney has a weight of more than 700 kilograms.
In this comparison, the audience also found that the power-to-weight ratio of this wind and thunder turboprop engine is more than twice that of the most advanced aviation piston engine, and the world's most advanced piston engine has a maximum power of only 1000 horsepower, but the wind and thunder turboprop engine has reached 2500 horsepower with the same engine weight.
