The era of the 903 helicopter
Flight altitude is only one aspect, although the altitude has reached the standard, but other aspects are not up to the standard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After testing the flight altitude, the next step was to move on to other experiments.
Judging from the experimental results, the performance of the "Ka-50" and "Chinook" is good, in terms of flight altitude, the "Ka-50" has reached two thousand meters, the performance of the "Chinook" is slightly worse, but it has also reached 1,500 meters, in terms of flight speed, the "Ka-50" also won the "Chinook", the speed of the "Ka-50" has reached 120 km, while the "Chinook" has only a hundred, but in terms of the maximum take-off weight, the "Chinook" has finally pulled back a city, and the maximum take-off weight of the "Chinook" has reached three tons, and " Ka-50 "is only a little over two tons."
This is reasonable, after all, the positioning of the "Chinook" is a logistics helicopter, and the most important thing is how much it is installed, and it doesn't matter if it can fly fast or not.
As armed helicopters and transport aircraft, these two helicopters performed well and basically met Nikola Tesla's requirements, so the good news was immediately reported to Qin Zhiyuan.
When he received the news of the successful development of the helicopter, Qin Zhiyuan was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to drive two helicopters to land directly in the palace of Lanfang Wang.
In fact, the entire Penglai Island is a no-fly zone, no matter what kind of aircraft it is, as long as it appears over Penglai Island, it will be ruthlessly shot down by the Lanfang Air Force, Nikola Tesla They test the helicopter, but they must also report first, and then under the monitoring of the Air Force.
Now Qin Zhiyuan ordered the helicopter to fly directly into the palace, which really made the commander of the Air Force Zhou Hongguang a little big.
Qin Zhiyuan was still the king after all, and he had the power to speak in Lanfang, and the two helicopters finally stopped on the lawn outside Qin Zhiyuan's office building.
When he saw the "Ka-50" and "Chinook", Qin Zhiyuan was indeed dumbfounded, these two models are too classic, one is from the Soviet Union and the other is from the United States, but now they are all concentrated in Lanfang, which is really a bit of a doomed meaning.
"Do they have names?" Qin Zhiyuan wanted to spoof, so he simply used "Ka-50" and "Chinook" as the names of these two aircraft.
"Not yet, because some improvements are still needed, and when the final plan is decided, I will ask Your Majesty to give you a name." Long Chengyuan didn't know about the "Ka-50" and "Chinook", and answered seriously.
"Well, it really needs to be improved, the armed helicopter should be equipped with weapons, the cockpit should be armored, and the safety of the pilot should be protected as much as possible - the main consideration of the transport aircraft is the stability of the structure, we not only have to use it to transport materials, transport soldiers, but also use the transport aircraft to lift large equipment in the future, these problems must be taken into account." Qin Zhiyuan's requirements are a bit much.
To be honest, before the appearance of Nikola Tesla, Long Chengyuan only considered completing the design of the helicopter, and did not consider the specific functions and roles at all.
Lan Fang's official habit is good, no matter what it is, write it down first, and then talk about it, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
"Have you thought about the weapons that need to be installed on the gunship?" Qin Zhiyuan's "prophetic" attribute began to flood again.
"-Not yet." Long Chengyuan has a very hidden eye-rolling action, and this rhythm is really a bit fast.
"To install aerial guns, automatic grenade timers, rockets, etc., to maximize the power of helicopter gunships, imagine how spectacular it would be for them to hover over the heads of the enemy and pour tons of ammunition on the enemy's head!" Qin Zhiyuan thought about it.
"Rockets - will they be too big?" Long Chengyuan gestured with his hand, feeling a little inappropriate.
Rockets appeared at the beginning of the 19th century, and the range of rockets developed by the Englishman W. Congreve could reach 2.5 kilometers, but this rocket was huge and inaccurate, so it did not attract attention.
In the world war, the brutal trench warfare gave birth to the development of a variety of weapons, rockets are one of them, after the world war, all countries in the world are developing rockets, and Lan Fang is certainly not lagging behind. Qin Zhiyuan mentioned the concept of "Katyusha" to Long Chengyuan a long time ago, and Long Chengyuan has also been researching it, but the progress is a little slow, and Qin Zhiyuan is not in a hurry, after all, it is peacetime, and the Lanfang military is not in urgent need of rockets.
However, after the development of the helicopter, the research and development of rockets will speed up the pace, in fact, compared to the "Katyusha", the helicopter is the vehicle that can give full play to the power of the rocket, if Lanfang's helicopter can be equipped with a "hive", then the power of the helicopter will be greatly increased.
Qin Zhiyuan easily asked for a notepad from Long Chengyuan's hand, and drew a schematic diagram for Long Chengyuan on the spot: "--It doesn't need to be too precise, just a large enough number, what the rocket wants is not a precision strike, it is a carpet saturation bombing, and the living force used to kill and injure the enemy is the most suitable."
Qin Zhiyuan hadn't finished painting yet, and Nikola Tesla nodded again and again.
After Qin Zhiyuan finished painting, Nikola Tesla sincerely admired: "I have heard that Your Majesty is a genius in science and technology before, but now I know that rumors are not enough to praise you." ”
This scientist's sycophant is also extraordinary, at least Qin Zhiyuan feels very proud: "You are geniuses, no matter how good my painting is, it is only on paper, only you can turn these things into reality." ”
It is not easy to get Qin Zhiyuan's praise, at least Long Chengyuan and they are already happy.
"Grenade launchers should also be taken seriously, not only on armed helicopters, but also on transport aircraft, and the application of the army and navy is not small, we need a smaller, more multi-faceted, more efficient grenade launcher." Qin Zhiyuan continued to make requests.
There is no need for drawings for this, Lan Fang already has an automatic grenade launcher, and it only needs to continue to improve on the basis of the original.
There are two types of automatic grenade launchers equipped with Lanfang, one is a vehicle-mounted Type 19 automatic grenade launcher, weighing 40 kilograms, with an effective range of 800 meters and a rate of fire of 300 rounds per minute; The other is the hand-held Type 20, which is similar to an enlarged version of the revolver, weighs only eight kilograms, and can be easily carried by individual soldiers, with a range of 400 meters and a rate of fire of 25 rounds per minute.
In fact, these two grenade launchers are very good, and in terms of performance, they are enough to meet the requirements of the troops, but Qin Zhiyuan is still not satisfied, and Qin Zhiyuan's requirements for the power of weapons are endless.
It is this never-ending spirit that human beings will continue to progress.
"It is still necessary to pay attention to the fact that the crew of the armed helicopter must be determined to be two people, one person is responsible for piloting, and the other person is responsible for manipulating weapons, so the protection of the cockpit must be done well." Qin Zhiyuan still has requirements in terms of details.
If Qin Zhiyuan had not appeared, the helicopter would not have been equipped with weapons until after World War II, and then it would have derived the classic models in the future.
"Don't you need a co-pilot?" Long Chengyuan asked.
"Basically, it doesn't need to, and if it gets to the point where the pilot can't control the plane, even adding another co-pilot won't help." Qin Zhiyuan traveled to this time and space because of the plane crash in his previous life, and he was really impressed by this problem.
It is not difficult to improve this problem, the maximum take-off weight of the "Ka-50" is a little more than two tons, if it is further improved, it is estimated that there will be an increase, the installation of weapon systems is about a ton at most, and the rest can be put into the protection, this weight is calculated, it is estimated that it is a little difficult to make a tank as thick and heavy armor, but it is still about the same level as an armored vehicle.
It is enough, the tank has to face anti-tank guns, the helicopter is now facing only anti-aircraft machine guns or anti-tank rifles, and the biggest role of the helicopter is a surprise attack, the ground defense has not yet reacted, the helicopter has completed the task and is moving away, which is much more flexible than the tank.
"The design of the high-power engine has been completed, but the biggest difficulty is the material, and the current material strength and durability are not enough, so it is impossible to produce a higher-power engine." Long Chengyuan was a little helpless.
This work is done by Long Chengxuan, in fact, Long Chengxuan's work is also done well, and Lan Fang's material science is currently leading in the world, but it still does not meet Qin Zhiyuan's requirements.
"Materials should still be a problem of processing technology, you have to organize manpower to tackle key problems, we can't be stuck by this hurdle." Qin Zhiyuan believed in crowd tactics.
Materials science is actually a process of accumulation, try a variety of formulas and various process combinations, you will always find the right one.
"Mr. Nikolai, please leave it to you." Only then did Qin Zhiyuan remember that there was a great god beside him.
"Materials—okay, I'll try." Nikola Tesla frowned, obviously feeling a little embarrassed by Qin Zhiyuan's requirements, after all, Nikola Tesla is not a real god, and Nikola Tesla is really not proficient in material science.
"In terms of materials science, I have a suitable candidate." Although Nikola Tesla is not very proficient in materials science, he has been immersed in the scientific and technological world for so long, and Nikola Tesla knows a lot of scientific research talents.
"Who? What nationality? Qin Zhiyuan immediately came to the spirit.
It's not okay to let Qin Zhiyuan do research, digging people into corners is what Qin Zhiyuan is best at.
John Bauer is an assistant professor in the Department of Physics at the College of New Jersey. John Bauer is not well-known, but he definitely has a hand in materials science, and the Springfield Arsenal also uses John Bauer's patents. Nikola Tesla smiled a little sarcastically when he said this, and his eyes were full of contempt and spurt in the direction of the United States: "It is a pity that John Bauer was not able to obtain any patent fees. ”
College of New Jersey -
It took Qin Zhiyuan a while to remember that this so-called "New Jersey College" is now Princeton University.
