Chapter 259: Wingers

As soon as the Horton brothers saw Xiao Weiguo and Messerschmidt, they were very excited, and the two of them went straight to the point and asked to join the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry to do a career!

Messerschmitt didn't know how capable these two young men were, after all, the Horton brothers were not famous at this time, and Messerschmitt didn't know them, let alone know that they would even be able to achieve outstanding achievements in the future. So Messerschmitt asked, "Oh, what do you two want to do?" ”

Rema said excitedly: "Dr. Wiley, Mr. Philip, we want to be aircraft designers in Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd." We have a special interest in aircraft design, we have designed gliders, and we are also able to fly airplanes proficiently! ”

Messerschmidt set his sights on Xiao Weiguo, after all, the two brothers wanted to join Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Xiao Weiguo suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked calmly: "Yes, you two are very confident!" Our Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium is a person who needs self-confidence! But self-confidence is not enough, you also have to be able to excel. So, you can talk about some of your ideas about aircraft design, and we can decide whether to hire you or not based on your situation. ”

Rema and Walter looked at each other and smiled, and then Reema spoke on behalf of the brothers: "We brothers have had a great interest in mechanics and flying machines since childhood, and we have always been interested in designing airplanes that can fly high and fast, which has led us to keep an eye on the development of the aviation industry. The reason why we came to Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company is also because we know that the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium has designed the world's most advanced jet engine, as well as the M30 business transport aircraft with excellent performance, and we also have great respect for Mr. Philip and Dr. Wiley. The two of us wanted to work as aircraft designers in the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium and focus on aircraft design with flying wing layouts. In 1918, von? Dr. Plandelt published his theory of flying wings in GΓΆttingen. We were fascinated by this bizarre shape without a fuselage and tail. We firmly believe that drag can only be eliminated by simply accommodating the crew and power system with the wings alone, eliminating the fuselage, horizontal tail and vertical control surfaces. ”

After a pause, Walter continued: "At the age of 20, we designed our first flying wing glider, the Ho-I. Just a few days ago, our Ho-I completed its maiden flight at Hagena Airport in Bonn, even though the Ho-I only glided 150 to 300 feet. The glide height is also less than 6 feet, and there are some problems with control, but this proves that the flying wing aircraft can fly into the sky. We know that the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex has the most powerful strength in the field of aviation industry, and has successfully developed a jet engine that almost everyone thinks is impossible to succeed, just like our flying wings, so we believe that we will be able to successfully design and build a real flying wing aircraft! ”

Xiao Weiguo nodded and said, "Not bad!" Although you are very young, you have your own ideals, and you can stick to your ideals, which is a necessary condition for success! Our Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium is in need of young people like you who insist on their ideals! But. You still don't have a full understanding of the difficulty of the aerodynamic layout of the flying wing! It is not enough to have faith, but also to have the wisdom to recognize and judge difficult problems! Do you think that the winger can really be controlled like an ordinary airplane when it goes to the sky? ”

Rema thought for a moment and replied, "Mr. Philip, please trust us! As long as we are given time, we can complete the design and manufacture of the flying wing. In addition to the wings, which are necessary for any aircraft, in the flying wing layout. All other superfluous parts have been removed, and in short, there is only the layout of the wings of the aircraft. It looks like there are only wings, there is no fuselage, and the fuselage and wing are integrated. This layout is undoubtedly the most aerodynamically efficient, as all fuselage structures are wings, are used to generate lift, and drag is minimized. We believe in optimizing the design. The flight attitude of the aircraft can be controlled by using the lifting ailerons. ”

Xiao Weiguo laughed and said: "It seems that you are still newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers!" The momentum is there, but the difficulty of the winger is underestimated. You must know that the aerodynamic layout of the flying wing is a statically unstable layout, and the biggest difference between an aircraft with a static stability design and an aircraft with a statically unstable aerodynamic layout is. In the process of flight, one of the obvious maneuvering characteristics of the aircraft with static stability design is that when the pilot has made the correct and good trim of the aircraft, he can leave the stick and the rudder with his feet, and the aircraft can still maintain a stable flight state, for example, it has been flying forward normally. However, the aircraft with static instability design does not have such a characteristic, that is, in the absence of any automatic flight assistance control system, the pilot must always pay attention to adjust the flight attitude of the aircraft with the rudder surface to prevent the aircraft from entering an unstable flight state. This is obviously very tiring, and without an auxiliary system to do the job in place of the pilot, the attitude control of the aircraft is difficult, and the probability of a flight accident will be high. I don't know if you have considered this? ”

Walter and Reima's eyes widened, they didn't expect Xiao Weiguo to know more about flying wings than them, they really deserve to be at the helm of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, and they are about the same age as themselves, and they also designed jet engines, but it is precisely in this way that the two brothers have strengthened their beliefs, they know that only by joining the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex can they realize their ideal of designing and manufacturing practical flying wing aircraft!

Walter was surprised: "Ah, Mr. Philip, it turns out that you also have research on flying wing planes?" We know that although we have built a flying wing glider, it is really lacking in theory, and we will try to learn and practice this. We firmly believe that although there are indeed difficulties in the flying wing aircraft with the current aviation technology, we also see the hope of the flying wing from the success of the jet engine of the Dragon Soul Ordnance, and we believe that only in the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium can we realize our flying wing dream! We envisage that a number of control surfaces can be used to control the winger, with the wingtip control surface used to control the direction, the middle two control surfaces acting together as the elevator, the differential as the aileron, and the inside control surface as the flap when landing. We don't know if this is possible, but we really want to join the Dragon Soul Ordnance-Industrial Consortium and design and build the world's first practical flying wing aircraft! Accede to our request! (To be continued.) )
