46. Can't catch up with Europe and the United States

"It doesn't work, and the plane shuddes when it reaches 220 yards. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAt this time, as long as you are not careful, the plane will crash! ā€

"Nonsense, this is the latest research result of the United States, how can that problem arise. It's your design, which still used biplanes in the thirties, do you want the pilots to be slaughtered? ā€

Looking at the two foreigners arguing in Chinese, Qin Lang could only rub his forehead.

After giving the order to develop a tank to Chengyu, several heads of the aircraft research institute came to the door, so today's discussion took place.

Today's two chief designers, one is Quentin who studied under Junkers in Germany, and the other is Galen from Curtiss in the United States, so Qin Lang took the name "Kunlun".

This time, they offered two aircraft models.

Quentin was an improvement on the Fokker fighter and was still a biplane, but the engine was replaced by Pratt & Whitney's R-1340-27.

The engine has been licensed and the equipment has been imported, and it is now possible to produce it in small quantities. This is a boost to the soup making institute, and many processes have been upgraded.

In fact, Pratt & Whitney already has more advanced technology, but when negotiating, they refused to sell it on the grounds of immaturity.

When it comes to his designs, Quentin is quite egotistical.

"Two 12.7 mm machine guns in the nose and wings, with 400 rounds each. The maximum flight speed was increased to 360 yards. Although the weight was raised to 1100 kg, the body was quite reinforced. ā€

Qin Lang came to the spirit.

"Can you modify the current Fokker?"

Quentin shook his head.

"Commander, this is unrealistic, it's almost a completely new design model, many places have been changed, and the counterweight is not the same."

Qin Lang's expression froze

The "Fokker" of the Air Force has been modified four times, and it has long been different from the original. However, with the number of nearly 200 planes, it is also painful for a guy to replace them all, after all, each plane is almost 8,000 oceans!

Galen burst out laughing.

"The maximum speed is 360 yards, the average speed is 240 yards, and that's a live target. My fighter is a monoplane, although it weighs 1350 kg, but has a top speed of 375 yards, an average of 300 yards, an altitude of 8000 meters, a range of 1200 km, 4 12.7 mm machine guns, although mounted on the wing, but with 650 rounds of ammunition"

Qin Lang's eyes narrowed into a peach shape when he heard this, the range is 1200 kilometers, that is, the radius is 600 kilometers, if the aluminum auxiliary fuel tank is hung, the combat radius can easily reach 800 kilometers,

"Can the landing gear be retracted?"

Even in the midst of the economic crisis, the plane race has not stopped, flying faster has become the only indicator, and various new designs are emerging one after another, and the retractable landing gear is one of them.

"Commander, I didn't do this design, of course I can add ......."

Galen's words were not finished.

Quentin yelled:

"Commander, don't believe in this heresy. There was a big problem with his design. When it reaches a certain velocity, it will enter tremor, and in severe cases, it will cause disintegration. ā€

Galen also shouted:

"No way, I use the most cutting-edge scientific theories, and this model won second place in the just concluded sprint competition."

Quentin just smiled coldly.

"This model was verified at Junkers, as long as it reaches a certain speed, there will definitely be problems, and this speed is reached at takeoff, which will cause loss of control and eventually lead to a crash."

Galen didn't dare to speak, Juncker was a bull in the aviation industry, and Quentin wasn't a man of all cylinders.

Qin Lang said with a smile:

"Master Kun, did Juncker come up with a solution?"

Quentin shook his head.

"Unfortunately, Juncker's engineers did a lot of calculations, but there was no way to solve them. The only way is to rely on the experience of the pilot, don't panic when you have a tremor, you have to push the throttle to the top, as soon as you reach 280 yards, all the problems will disappear. ā€

Galen sighed.

This model is too suitable for use in fighter jets, and with a few modifications, it is an excellent fighter. But now the dream was shattered, and he instantly looked like he was ten years older.

Qin Lang laughed.

"I have a solution, but I need you to make a 50 percent accurate scale model."

Galen's eyes lit up.

"Commander, can you really solve this problem?"

Quentin shook his head and said:

"Impossible, this is a worldwide problem, and it can't be solved by speculation."

The designers next to the two men were also tense and laughed at each other.

"Your brains are muddy, foreign planes already use monoplanes, and the devils will definitely follow."

"Nonsense, those monkeys will only copy, and by the time they use monoplanes, we already have mature technology."

"Yes, the technology of the new aircraft is not yet mature, and forcing it on the horse will cause serious waste. It's a crime, you bunch of Mediterranean heads. ā€

Qin Lang knocked on the table.

The scene calmed down.

"Did your two teachers have a personal attack? They are engaged in academic debate, not invective! Don't bring certain emotions to work, it will be a disservice to others and yourself! ā€

"Yes!"

Qin Lang stood up and said:

"Master Gai's aircraft design is a trend and the future direction of aircraft development, but it is still conservative in design!

Why not use full metal? The output of aluminum alloy in the Soviet area reached 20,000 tons per month, which is completely achievable. Why don't rivets choose countersunks? All of them have been mass-produced, and experiments have proved that they have good results on airplanes.

The landing gear is fixed, which affects speed and can be easily broken in air combat, and these pilots have made a lot of comments.

In addition, the wings of the aircraft are oval, which is difficult to machine, and it is too wasteful of man-hours, which must be changed.

Please remember that we want an aircraft that can be produced quickly. It has to have a sturdy body, strong power, and ferocious firepower. In an instant, you must be able to crush the enemies in front of you!

That's all for today's meeting, and in 10 days we'll have an experiment to see what the problems with the airplane are. ā€

Looking at Qin Lang's departure, the designers muttered one by one.

"Does Commander Qin understand airplanes? How can you say this? ā€

"How many capable people are around him, as long as he dials one or two slightly, he will definitely understand!"

Just when everyone was talking, a voice suddenly sounded.

"What if you know fur? Aircraft design is a rigorous affair that requires a wealth of aerodynamic knowledge! ā€

Hearing this, the designer's brows instantly furrowed. But the man went on to say:

"Commander Qin, his ability is not small, but can he solve the problem of aircraft design? I don't think it's good, interlaced like a mountain, our Huaxia technology foundation is too thin, it is better to spend so much money to buy a plane directly. ā€

Someone can't take it anymore.

"Pykov, if the technical foundation is weak, then you have to catch up......."

But the person who said it let out a piercing laugh.

"Hahaha, I'll leave my words here today, China won't want to catch up with European and American countries for a hundred years!"
