After the initial success, the WZ-1 exhaust gas turbocharger continued to be tested more comprehensively, and Philip stayed at Messerschmidt during the test days, exchanging technology and developments in the aviation industry with Messerschmidt. Although Messerschmitt is a master of aircraft design, he is still at a disadvantage in front of Philip, who has crossed over, and the two often argue over some professional technical issues.

Philip believes that the future of aircraft power will be jet powered, and piston engines will be slowly replaced; But Messerschmidt argues that jet planes are nothing more than a castle in the air on paper, and it remains to be seen whether jet engines can actually perform better than piston engines and propellers.

Philip is very clear that the revolutionary development of the aviation industry depends on the birth and application of jet power, and the world's first jet fighter in service is the Messerschmitt ME262 fighter, but I did not expect that at this time Messerschmitt himself is still very suspicious of the role of jet engines, if Messerschmitt can be convinced, and as soon as possible to carry out the research of jet engines, I believe that Messerschmidt and Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company will get better and faster development.

In order to convince Messerschmidt, Philip racked his brains and finally came up with a solution.

On September 11, 1931, Philip came to Messerschmidt's office and approached the future master of aircraft design to convince him to study jet power.

When Messerschmitt saw Philip coming, he had already guessed his purpose, and laughed and said, "My friend, have you come to convince me again today?" I believe that at this point, my point of view is correct, and you don't have to work in vain. ”

Philip smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Messerschmidt, I'm here prepared today!" I know you don't believe in jet engines for airplanes, do you? ”

Messerschmidt put away his smile and nodded: "That's right, Philip, you know that our company is just starting out now, so it's better to be steady." I also know the jet engine you are talking about, but under the current technical conditions, not to mention the manufacture of a usable jet engine, that is, it is built, and how useful is it? I don't see any advantages to it, except that it is more fuel-intensive. ”

Philip sat on the sofa and said calmly: "Five years ago, Alan Griffiths, a scientist at the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough, England, proposed a concept of gas turbine based on axial compressors and turbines, in which the turbine drives the propeller blades, rather than directly relying on the jet stream to generate thrust, but the research progress is very slow. This turboprop engine is ideal for transport aircraft and bombers with higher speed and heavier weight. Two years ago, the Englishman Whittle used a turbocharger similar to a centrifugal compressor, for which he also applied for a patent for the centrifugal jet engine he designed, and successively approached the British Department of Aviation and several private companies to seek funding, but were rejected, everyone believed that the design needed long-term work, and it was difficult to succeed in the short term, so the design could only stay on paper. Similarly, Germany's Heinkel seems to be looking for jet engines. So we have to get ahead of them and get the jet engine out in order to occupy the commanding heights of aviation technology! ”

Messerschmik nodded and said, "Yes, as you said, jet engines are not something that can be done in a short period of time. And its application prospects are not clear, do we have to take the risk to do it? ”

Philip said, "Mr. Messerschmidt, I tell you very seriously, that this is absolutely necessary, and we must do it!" The advantage of a jet engine over a piston engine is that it can get more propulsion with less size and weight. In particular, with the continuous improvement of the speed of the aircraft, the weight and volume of the aircraft continue to increase, the power that the aircraft needs is also getting bigger and bigger, the power of the engine is required to be greatly increased, and the increase of the power of the piston engine is mainly by increasing the size and number of cylinders, so that the weight and size of the engine are increased, in addition, when the flight speed of the aircraft increases to a certain extent, the efficiency of the propeller will begin to decrease significantly, so that the thrust produced by it decreases, and the requirements of increasing the flight speed can not be further met. In comparison, the weight of the jet engine is significantly reduced, and the propeller is eliminated, and in a large range of flight speeds, the thrust of the jet engine increases with the flight speed, and in the future it is even possible to break through the speed of sound with an aircraft installed with a jet engine! One can imagine how useful it is in the military! ”

Messerschmidt was shocked when he heard this, and a pair of blue eyes glared at the boss, and he looked at Philip intently and said, "What you said is true?" Can an airplane still outpace the speed of sound propagation? ”

Philip nodded, "Yes! Mr. Messerschmidt, not only can it exceed the speed of sound, but even reach 2 times the speed of sound, 3 times the speed of sound is also possible! In addition, the turboprop engine can also be used to create a turboprop engine, which uses the mechanical energy of high-temperature gas to the turbine and converts it into the output power of the turbine shaft to propel the propeller to rotate. This turboprop engine is lighter and more powerful than a piston engine, and with a multi-blade torque conversion propeller, it can even allow the aircraft to reach flight speeds close to the speed of sound! ”

Messerschmitt stood up in surprise and exclaimed, "Am I wrong?" But the development of such a jet engine should be very difficult, otherwise it would have been available a long time ago! Can our company do it? ”

Philip also stood up and said confidently: "Mr. Messerschmidt, please trust my judgment. The jet age will come in a few years, and we need to seize this rare opportunity to become the first company to develop a jet engine. In this way, in the future, we will not only be able to occupy the largest share of the world's aero engine market, but also be able to develop more advanced aircraft using jet engines. You can imagine how powerful a supersonic fighter with a jet engine can be! In order for you to trust my judgment, today I am going to show you my latest invention on the spot, hehe! ”

Messerschmidt said curiously: "Oh, Philip, you have a new invention, take a look!" What is it? ”

Philip smiled mysteriously: "Of course, it's about the invention of the jet engine, but I'm going to make it for you to show you on the spot, so you can see my craft, hahaha!" After saying that, Philip couldn't help but laugh proudly!

Messerschmidt was also more curious about Philip's words, and hurriedly pulled Philip's arm and said: "Philip, don't sell it, you take me quickly, I want to call all our engineers, is this okay?" ”

Philip nodded and said, "Okay, no problem, just to popularize the knowledge of jet engines for everyone!" ”
