"Pull up! Pull it up! What a damn ...... Failed again! Standing on a white line, a colonel with a radio communicator behind him pinched the microphone and cursed loudly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He couldn't curse loudly, because a Lei Gong 1 dive bomber had just roared past with its engines and rushed over the runway in front of him.

"The climb failed! How many meters? Looking at the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber that had gone to the sky in the distance, the colonel asked his assistant beside him.

His assistant raised the small green flag in his hand, and next to a tester who also raised the red flag in the distance, another tester raised a horn and loudly reported: "About 290 meters!" ”

Hearing this answer, the colonel almost threw the microphone in his hand to the ground: "How can it be so bad?" How many meters is this? Are you kidding? ”

Indeed, as a joke, the request given by the above people is to train the pilots as much as possible, let them fly the plane, and take off on a runway about 200 meters long.

But now, even if many elite pilots are dispatched, the prescribed distance of 200 meters is still far from the actual data, just like a standard that can never be reached.

"The training that the people above are talking about, but it's not just our test team that's doing it." An Air Force major next to the colonel said, "I heard that the design modification team is crazy. ”

"All crazy? What's crazy? Tell me about it? The Colonel seemed interested in the suffering of others and asked.

The major of the Air Force said with a smile: "The design of the entire aircraft has been changed over there, and a large group of engineers are about to dismantle the entire Lei Gong dive bomber......

Aren't they all crazy, in addition to letting pilots train and try to shorten the take-off distance, the aircraft improvement team on the other side is facing more problems.

The first thing that comes to mind is to increase the flaps of the aircraft to expand the wing area during take-off and landing, so as to obtain more lift.

This design was quickly approved, and the workshop improved two Lei Gong Experimental 11 models, numbered after the Lei Gong 1, with a new 1 added to distinguish them.

Due to the rush of time for the design improvement of the two planes, the first one fell directly during landing, and also caused a tragic accident in which one pilot died.

However, the second plane got rid of the problem, and the experiment worked well - the take-off and landing distances were shortened, but the weight also increased.

After all, it is a two-person dive bomber, and neither in structure nor design weight is tailor-made for take-off and landing at sea.

As a result of the compromise, the design team began to lose weight for the Lei Gong Experiment 11 designed for themselves. The end result is the current Lei Gong Experiment Type 12.

On the basis of the original, the weight of the Lei Gong Experimental 12 has been greatly reduced, and the final weight is controlled at 3 tons and 440 kilograms.

Unfortunately, the aircraft could not take off and land at sea, partly because the landing gear was too fragile and needed to be strengthened, and on the other hand, it still could not solve the problem of too long a landing distance.

Because of the time constraints, the problem of getting the Lei Gong dive bomber on board the ship has not been properly solved until now. But the war seems to have stopped, and the need for this has become less urgent.

"In order for the plane to land on a fixed platform at sea, the only way to do it is to violently shorten the distance of the plane." A designer introduces his ideas while drawing on a drawing.

"If there is any way, just say, don't sell it! We don't have time to go around in circles, it's very tight from above! An old designer at the head frowned and said slowly.

"Installing a hook on the plane and hooking it to pull the cable when landing will allow the plane to stop in a very short distance!" The designer came up with his own design plan, which made many people stunned.

Hearing this person's plan, the old designer led by him was not too excited, he just asked his secretary to record this set of plans, and then raised his head and gave his thoughts.

He looked at the other party and said slowly: "Your idea is very good, and it can be regarded as solving the problem of plane landing." But now we have a new problem before us - our planes may not be strong enough. ”

It's one thing to make a plane fly, but it's another thing to make a plane come to a sudden stop. Modern carrier-based aircraft need to strengthen various components before they are on board, not to mention fragile piston aircraft.

In this era, the skin on the fuselage of the aircraft used in many countries is still canvas, and the load-bearing parts of the aircraft are often made of wood.

If it weren't for the sudden use of high-horsepower engines, the original structure could not be used, and perhaps the planes of the Ming Empire were still made of wood, canvas and other materials.

Even now, after the Ming Empire has designed three successful roadbed aircraft, it still has little design experience with all-metal aircraft.

Even with the addition of the Anyun 2 aircraft, and the Breaking Sky 3 fighter, the Djinn 2 bomber, and the Lei Gong 2 dive bomber, the Ming Empire is still in the exploration stage in the field of all-metal aircraft design.

As for other countries, they may not have thought of such a genius idea as loading planes on warships. Even Britain only saw the threat of aircraft to warships, and still did not think of letting planes leave land and go to the sea to expand new battlefields.

"It's not impossible to increase the weight, just redesign the body. If it doesn't work anymore, it is enough to continue to weaken the performance of the aircraft. The old designer looked at Shao Tianheng, who was sitting next to him and had not spoken, and said the research policy behind him: "Since everyone can't think of a way to let the plane stop at the length of the ship, let's find a breakthrough from the interception steel cable for the time being!" ”

It was just such a sentence that set a direction for development. I don't know if it's right or wrong, anyway, the problems always have to be solved one after another, until in the end, if there are no problems, then it is considered a success.

All of you here have long been accustomed to this way of doing things, starting from the time they work, and overcoming one problem after another, that is, the value of their existence.

"Gentlemen...... We are the most important trump card in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor...... Probably, it's the last trump card! Because just this morning, the Naval Agreement officially entered into force! Shao Tianheng finally broke free from his thoughts and said to everyone: "Therefore, we are only allowed to succeed, not to fail!" ”

I wrote an all-nighter, and I finally gave you an explanation...... Needless to say, the dragon spirit went to sleep......
