The next day, under the personal guidance of Duan Yunpeng, the Allied ace pilots finally successfully flew the Dragonfly helicopter, and this time the Allied pilots gave a very high evaluation, believing that the Dragonfly helicopter, far surpassing Sikorsky's VS300 helicopter, is worthy of being the world's first truly practical military helicopter.

So this time, the Allies did order another 500 Dragonfly helicopters, each of which was $200,000!

This time it's going to be a lot of money again, of course, the show is still to come, because two days later, it was the day of the first flight of the Giant Bird No. 1 transport plane, so the Allied representatives didn't leave, waiting for the show to begin.

The Giant Bird No. 1 transport aircraft is currently the largest transport aircraft in the world, after all, its carrying capacity reaches 20 tons, which is unprecedentedly large, and there is also a take-off weight of 60 tons, which is incomparable.

Now the Allies also attach great importance to this transport aircraft, and have placed an order to buy it, after all, its carrying capacity is too much for the Allies, if there are a hundred such transport aircraft, you can easily throw a heavy division 3,000 kilometers away, which will be invincible on the battlefield.

So now the orders of the allies are not less than those of the Eighth Route Army, and the money is also made by the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, for the Allies, another advantage is that they can learn the technology of this advanced transport aircraft, and they will not have to rely on the Eighth Route Army in the future, they will have to manufacture them independently in the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and other aviation powers.

For the Allies, they still have the idea of converting the Giant Bird No. 1 transport aircraft into a special aircraft, of course, Duan Yunpeng has long had a plan, that is, to develop a gunboat aircraft, and the use of the Giant Bird No. 1 is very suitable for modification, and then a gunboat aircraft that is no less than the later AC130 will be born.

Therefore, the application prospect of the Giant Bird No. 1 transport aircraft is too broad, and it will definitely become an evergreen tree in the transport aircraft family in the future, and it will not be eliminated for at least 50 years.

Today's first flight ceremony has attracted a lot of reporters to report, you must know that now these are public, and the Eighth Route Army does not mind that there are reporters reporting on the test flights of these models.

Because they are all to be sold to the outside world, there is no secrecy, and it is to let the devil know what to do, which can also have a deterrent effect on the devil.

Now the devils don't dare to bomb the arsenal and aircraft factories at all, because the anti-aircraft firepower here is too strong, plus the protection of the air force, so if the devils come to bomb, they will only lose more combat aircraft, but there will be no results.

After all, now Duan Yunpeng has installed an air defense radar near the aircraft factory arsenal, as long as there is a little devil's plane coming, it will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the radar.

This is true both day and night, and now radar has become a very important advanced equipment of the Eighth Route Army.

Today's first flight ceremony, it was quite festive, lively, Yunxia has been busy greeting guests, Duan Yunpeng is personally arranging the test flight task, you must know that this test flight, he is still ready to come by himself, and Zhang Xia to complete the first flight task together,

After all, the test flight of such a large transport aircraft is not a joke, and if something goes wrong, it will lead to serious consequences, after all, there are so many spectators today.

At the test flight site, there were also a lot of people nearby, and now the people are very fond of watching the excitement, of course, in order to prevent the devil's spies from getting in, so they are still isolated from the people, and they can't get close, they can only watch from a distance.

And around the airport, there are also the security forces of the Eighth Route Army, as long as they find that the little devil has sent spies, they will definitely be arrested immediately.

So it's hard for the little devil to sabotage.

The test flight is about to start, Duan Yunpeng and the test pilots are ready to go, they are all wearing new flight suits, in addition to Duan Yunpeng and Yunxia, there are two test pilots to participate in the test flight.

They strode to the tarmac and began to inspect the Giant Bird No. 1 aircraft, which was indeed large enough, and their inspection was also divided into two groups, and it took more than ten minutes to complete the inspection.

They then entered the cockpit, activated the cockpit power, and checked the avionics instrumentation system.

Although it is said that in the taxiing test, this transport plane has simulated the take-off state, but this time it is really in the air, so Zhang Xia and the others are very excited.

I saw that the giant bird No. 1 transport plane on the apron began to move, the engine started successfully, and the four high-power turboprop engines were indeed amazing.

Its four sets of propellers are also very powerful, and the audience is enthusiastic to watch, and they dare to feel it on the plane.

Although the fuselage of the Giant Bird No. 1 transport aircraft is very thick, it looks very powerful and does not feel bloated.

Next, Duan Yunpeng personally piloted the transport plane, accelerated and slid away, and Zhang Xia gave him a hand.

The reporters aimed their lenses at this fast-moving big guy, kept pressing the shutter, and took a lot of precious photos.

I believe that tomorrow, you will be able to read in the newspapers the news of the successful first flight of a large Chinese-made transport aircraft.

On the runway, the giant bird No. 1 transport plane is getting faster and faster, and soon taxied more than 1,000 meters, reaching the take-off speed, Duan Yunpeng decisively pulled the lever, at this time the nose of the plane gently stood up, and taxied for more than 100 meters, the giant bird broke away from the ground and began to climb continuously.

It seems that its climb is still very easy, after all, it is all empty at this time, and if it is all difficult, how can the load fly.

Although the flight of the transport aircraft is not as exciting as that of the fighter, this momentum cannot be given by other aircraft, because in terms of size, the Giant Bird 1 is indeed very large, much larger than the long-range bomber.

Although the Giant Bird No. 1 is large, its speed is still very fast, with a designed maximum speed of five hundred and fifty per hour, and at this time, Duan Yunpeng has already piloted it to four hundred kilometers per hour, which looks very shocking.

The test flight was very successful, Duan Yunpeng flew for more than 20 minutes, and then began to pilot the plane to prepare to land, the runway was aligned, the speed continued to decrease, and the altitude was also decreasing, and finally the giant bird No. 1 landed smoothly on the runway, taxiing and slowing down, everyone let out an excited roar, applause.

The little devil spy mixed in the audience, at this time, has already drawn a precious hand-painted album, the imitation work of the giant bird No. 1, it is estimated that the little devil will also be launched, of course, this is not so easy to imitate, the little devil may be replaced by a piston engine.

But in that case, the performance will definitely be greatly reduced, after all, the piston engine is heavier and the power is not up to it.
