Chapter 327: In full swing

Xiao Weiguo returned to Stockholm with his two wives and immediately returned to the headquarters, and the good news was really one after another. First of all, the M40 large transport aircraft is about to make its first flight, and the Fenglei turboprop engine has also been finalized and mass-produced. In addition, the wind and thunder jet motor has also completed the test flight and is about to enter mass production, and the M29 jet competition aircraft has also completed all the test flights and is about to go to Paris, France to participate in the world aviation competition. The development of light and medium tanks is also progressing well, everything is moving for the better.

Even in the field of civilian automobiles, there has been new progress. The acquired BMW company is about to launch the BMW mini car designed by Xiao Weiguo! Anna once again became the assistant to the chairman of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, responsible for the personnel and financial work of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, and Bai Wanrou was also the assistant to the chairman of the board, responsible for sales. The shortage of skilled skilled workers is a major problem that plagues the production of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Anna hurriedly mobilized the entire company's employees to pull people everywhere, and in this way, they have dug up a group of people from European countries. In this way, the manpower problem of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was solved.

Knowing that Xiao Weiguo was married, Karl, Messerschmidt and others were very surprised, but it was indispensable to give a big gift, and the Swedish government also sent someone to send a gift. Now Xiao Weiguo is a big man who can influence the Swedish economy, and even the Swedish king has sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

Xiao Weiguo attaches the most importance to the first flight of the M40 large transport aircraft, because the M40 large transport aircraft uses a wind and thunder turboprop engine, which is a new type of power, and the M40 large transport aircraft is also the most advanced large transport aircraft in the world today, its load capacity has reached 4 tons, the maximum take-off weight is more than 20 tons, and the performance is very superior in all aspects. With the M40 large transport aircraft. Xiao Weiguo knew that the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium could take the lead in the field of transport aircraft in the world.

After the Holden brothers joined the M40 large transport aircraft project, they also learned a lot from Chief Engineer Hillem! Now the two of them have become the young generation of designers that Chief Hiram is very optimistic about. Knowing that Xiao Weiguo was going to personally inspect the preparations for the first flight of the M40 large transport aircraft, both of them were excited!

Two massive M40 transport aircraft are now equipped with state-of-the-art Thunder turboprop engines! In the huge factory building of the Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., these two large twin-engine transport planes covered in yellow primer stand quietly in the center of the final assembly plant, and there are scaffolds everywhere around it. But now these scaffolds have completed their mission and are about to be removed, because the two large transport planes have completed the final assembly and inspection work!

The Heelem, Horton brothers and other designers and developers stood in front of these two huge transport planes, and their hearts were extremely excited! The M29 Jet Racing performed very well in test flights, basically meeting the design targets, so there were no major changes, and it will soon be competing in international air competitions. At this time, the M40 large transport aircraft will also make its first flight, and such good news is really difficult for them to suppress the enthusiasm in their hearts!

You must know that the M40 large transport aircraft is not currently the largest transport aircraft in the world. But it was the world's first large transport aircraft with a turboprop engine! The 6-blade torque conversion propeller is also a unique design of the first kind, with a wingspan of 29 meters and a fuselage length of 24 meters.

The flight altitude of the M40 transport aircraft can reach 10,000 meters and the maximum speed exceeds 500 kilometers per hour. This is currently the world's most unattainable flight altitude and flight speed of any kind of transport aircraft, the M40 large transport aircraft body and shape design refers to the later Chinese Y-7 transport aircraft. 2 Typhoon Thunder Turboprop Engines are installed in the middle of the wing, near the sides of the fuselage. The maximum total power of the 2 thunderbolt engines reached 5,000 horsepower, propelling this large transport aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of more than 22 tons. The single 2,500-horsepower Wind Thunder turboprop engine is currently the most powerful engine in the world.

When the scaffolding was completed and removed, the huge transport plane was displayed in front of everyone! Its height is more than 8 meters. It is taller than an ordinary two-story building, and its huge wings can hold hundreds of people on it. The fuselage of the entire aircraft is very simple and smooth, and there are hardly any superfluous protrusions to be seen. Hillam walked over excitedly and stood under the main landing gear of the M40 transport aircraft, this unparalleled large bomber finally rolled off the assembly line and made its first flight! It's something to remember! It is also the most advanced and largest aircraft development project he presided over in his life. Although the overall design of this aircraft was completed by Xiao Weiguo, the specific design work was still presided over by Hillem, so he regarded this aircraft as his life!

Rema came to Heelem's side and said excitedly: "Chief Commander Helem, our M40 large transport aircraft is finally about to make its first flight!" I'm so excited today! It's huge, it's the biggest plane I've ever seen! I'm looking forward to the moment it takes to the blue sky! ”

The rest of the design trial production personnel on one side were even more excited, and the muscles on the faces of several people trembled uncontrollably, and Hillem said excitedly: "Okay! Let's climb into the cockpit of the M40 jumbo transport aircraft and see for yourself! ”

Hilam was the first to enter the cockpit from the gate, followed by the Horton brothers and several other designers! When everyone entered the cockpit, they found that the cockpit was really spacious and bright, and the view was very broad! Its interior width reaches 2.5 meters and the length reaches 3.2 meters, which is equivalent to a small house, and it is also good in terms of comfort. The height from the floor of the cockpit to the top also reaches 1.9 meters, and those who are less than 1.9 meters tall can go in without bending over, and those who are particularly tall can go in with a slight bow of their heads, and of course there are generally no more than 1.9 meters in the pilot. The crew of the M40 transport aircraft consists of 4 people, the captain of the left seat in the front row, the air mechanic in the middle, the co-pilot in the right seat, and the navigator behind the captain in the back row.

Rema said happily: "The first flight is tentatively scheduled for June 1, which is really a day worth looking forward to!" ”

Shilem nodded and said, "Well, it's really exciting!" This time, our chairman Mr. Philip will also be there in person, so the first flight must be fully prepared and no mistakes can be made! Now the M40 transport aircraft is off the assembly line, which just means that the development node has entered the last one, that is, the test flight! Before the first flight, it is necessary to carry out a careful inspection and as many taxi tests as possible! Today and tomorrow will arrange technicians to do a detailed inspection of these two new machines, even if a rivet is loose, it is very dangerous! (To be continued.) )
