When the two M29 jets landed, they attracted the attention of countless people, and when they slid to the tarmac and stopped, they immediately attracted a large number of onlookers. Indeed, no one is not interested in jets, they all want to see what this epoch-making jet is really like.

And this flying competition also attracted a lot of news media. As soon as they saw the M29 Racing Jet appear, they knew they couldn't miss this great opportunity, and the M29 Competitive Jet would definitely be the best news material and the brightest star of the year.

Of course, the two young people who are most anxious are Whittle and O'Hain. If it weren't for Xiao Weiguo's appearance, these two would have been the first people in the world to invent jet engines. Whittle was British, O'Hain was German. Both were very young at this time, Whittle was only 27 years old and O'Hain was only 23 years old, but despite this, the two had already begun research on jet engines.

O'Hain was born in the German aviation city of Dessau, where his father was a captain in the German Army. In the early 30s of the 20th century, O'Haiin studied applied physics and aerodynamics at the University of Göttingen in Germany and began to think about turbojet engines. "Once, when I was on an airplane, I felt that the piston engine was very vibrating and noisy, which was really incommensurate with the beautiful aerodynamic shape of the airplane, so I began to think about inventing a device that could continuously burn, continuous jet, no reciprocating parts, and no disturbed airflow." During his university years, O'Hain pondered deeply about the principles and feasibility of jet propulsion and wrote a thesis titled "The Process of Heat Conversion into Kinetic Energy of Gas Streams".

Later in 1935, at the age of 24, O'Hain received a doctorate in physics and completed drawings for a turbojet engine. In his opinion, such an engine should be simple and lightweight. Radial compressors and radial turbines are used. In the same year, Ohain was granted a patent for a centrifugal turbojet engine.

It is easier to explain the principles of a new engine on paper, but it is not so simple to make an actual device. Max? Han, a mechanic at a car factory in Göttingen, had helped O'Hain repair cars in the past, and this time he was back to help. Together with O'Haiin, he discussed his design and proposed a series of changes. This allowed him to build a prototype of a jet engine using the equipment of a car factory. They started to build it, and the first prototype of a turbojet engine was born in the garage. O'Hain's doctoral supervisor, Professor Bohr, allowed him to conduct his first test run on campus. During the test run, gasoline was ignited, a long, shiny flame erupted from the turbine, and the whole unit looked more like a new flamethrower than an aircraft engine, and the test failed.

Ohain was disappointed, he knew it was the result of the combustion chamber not working. But he personally did not have the ability to build a combustion chamber, which was 20 times larger than it was actually needed. The mechanic and Professor Pol cheer Ohain up. Encourage him to say, "Your theory is completely correct, and your calculations are correct." Professor Ball then wrote an enthusiastic letter of recommendation to O'Hain and asked him to go to the famous aircraft manufacturer Henkel. In May 1936, O'Hain approached Heinkel to work at his aircraft factory.

Of course, O'Hain was still studying at the university at this time, and he used all the time he had to design his jet engine. But even though he was designing on paper, he had a lot of skills to learn. Therefore. How could he miss an event like the International Air Championship?

Another Englishman, Whittle, was granted a patent for a centrifugal jet engine in 1932. But due to the lack of interest from the Ministry of Aviation, his patent for the design of a jet engine was not included in the secret catalog, but was published to the whole world. In this year, Whittle was sent to the British Air Force Henro Engineering Academy for a year of study and training. After the expiration of the term. He was sent to Cambridge University to study. Whittle cherished this opportunity to pursue further studies, completing all of his university courses in two years with astonishing perseverance, and graduating early with a first-class honour award from the University of Cambridge with honors. It can be said that diligence is the secret of Whittle's success. Creativity is the hallmark of his talents.

In the three years since obtaining the design patent, Whittle has been campaigning to persuade government departments or aero-engine companies to develop a turbojet engine, but has been rejected. By this time, Whittle was already a father of two, and the family was so financially burdened that he could not even afford to extend the patent by £5. Whittle had to prepare to abandon his idea. Whittle later recalled the situation: "It was so far that the mountains were at the end of the day! ”

Knowing that the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex was working on jet engines and had produced prototypes, Whittle and O'Hain both hoped to obtain some technical information about the Wind Thunder Jet Engine of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, and they wanted to find some key things from the successful experience of others, and then make their own jet engines.

As soon as the two pilots of the M29 Athletic Jet arrived, they were surrounded by enthusiastic spectators and journalists. Of course, Xiao Weiguo, Anna, Bai Wanrou, Messerschmidt, Carl and others who got off the M30 business transport plane were even more caught by reporters.

Sharp-eyed reporters will not forget that Xiao Weiguo is the inventor of the jet engine! Without Xiao Weiguo, there would be no M29 competitive jet in front of him. So they wanted to interview Xiao Weiguo to get the most important news.

Of course, Whittle and O'Hain will not miss this opportunity, because they have long known from Gu's Defense Weekly that Xiao Weiguo, the head of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex, is an absolute genius in weapon design and aircraft and engine design. They also admire people like Xiao Weiguo very much in their hearts, because they were also engaged in jet engine research, but the progress was very unsmooth, but what about Xiao Weiguo? In just two years, they not only developed a jet engine, but also a turboprop engine, and even brought the M29 jet aircraft to participate in this air competition.

Christina, a reporter from the New York Times, Xiao Weiguo's old friend, this beautiful reporter has always been interested in Xiao Weiguo, but now that she sees Xiao Weiguo's side, Anna and Bai Wanrou are next to Xiao Weiguo, she knows that she really has no chance, because the two beauties around Xiao Weiguo are more beautiful than herself, Xiao Weiguo's wedding has also been hot in international news newspapers for a while, Christina of course knows that Anna and Bai Wanrou have become Xiao Weiguo's wife.
