The successful first flight of the Wild Boar attack aircraft can be said to represent another big step forward in the history of human aviation, and from now on the jet aircraft will officially appear on the stage of history, and it will also change the course of the war, there is no doubt about it.

The Allies really needed to be equipped with thousands of Boar attack aircraft in order to form an overwhelming advantage over Germany and Japan, after all, this jet attack aircraft was not only a tank killer, but also a propeller fighter killer.

Time flies quickly, and before you know it, it's November, and November in the north is already very cold, but in the aircraft factories, arsenals and shipyards of the Eighth Route Army, it is all in full swing.

Now most of the Mustang gunboats have been built, and it is expected to be completed and launched in January next year, which makes the leaders of the Eighth Route Army very happy, because although the navy has been created, there are no warships yet.

Next year, the fleet of the Eighth Route Army will definitely be formed, although it is said that it is only composed of 300-ton gunboats, but it can be regarded as having it.

At the beginning of November, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army also studied Duan Peng's proposal to set up a project to develop the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane, and you must know that the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane proposed by Duan Peng this time can be said to be the largest transport plane in the world at present, and its maximum take-off weight will reach 110 tons, and the carrying capacity will reach 35 tons.

At that time, the Allies will definitely give a lot of orders, because this kind of transport aircraft can be regarded as a strategic transport aircraft in the current era.

Therefore, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army were naturally very happy, and after careful study and decision, they officially set up a project to start developing the Giant Bird No. 2 large transport aircraft.

Of course, Duan Peng is still in charge of this research and development task, because no one can do it except him.

Although Duan Peng has trained a lot of designers, and there are also several outstanding design talents who have returned from abroad and joined the Eighth Route Army Aircraft Factory, their experience is still not enough to support him as the chief designer of such an advanced transport aircraft.

The project will be held at the end of November, and this time Duan Peng brought a more detailed design plan.

At the site of the project meeting, a lot of leaders came, which shows that the leaders of the Eighth Route Army attach great importance to the development of this large transport aircraft.

The first to speak was a leader of the Eighth Route Army, he said happily: "Comrades, today is a great day, everyone now knows, our Eighth Route Army is going to develop the world's largest and most advanced large military transport aircraft, it is our Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft, this time Comrade Duan Peng put forward the plan is also very advanced, we think it is very good, although the development of this transport aircraft will be a lot of investment, but the benefits it brings are also amazing, our allies need to be equipped with a large number of Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft, I don't think a thousand are enough. Therefore, we can make a lot of money, and now the arsenal of our Eighth Route Army is like a snowball, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone has made contributions, of course, the biggest contribution is Comrade Duan Peng, and here I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the military! ”

A burst of warm applause rang out, it is true that the current munitions industry of the Eighth Route Army can have such a scale and make so much money for the Eighth Route Army, it is all due to Duan Peng, without Duan Peng, let alone airplanes, even artillery can't be built.

After the speeches of several leaders, Duan Peng came up with the design plan.

When Duan Peng showed the design drawings in front of everyone, everyone gasped, wow, such a large transport plane, this is really unimaginable, it can carry 300 people at a time, or a 35-ton tank can be loaded into it, and it will be transported thousands of kilometers away.

This is indeed beyond imagination, after all, the C47 transport plane of the United States is only a little bigger, with a take-off weight of fourteen tons, carrying twenty or thirty people.

Duan Peng is now starting to introduce, the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft is indeed too big, its take-off weight is almost double that of the Giant Bird No. 1, from sixty tons to one hundred and ten tons, the carrying capacity is thirty-five tons, its power is four high-power turboprop engines, each of which outputs 6,000 kilowatts of power, this is indeed too powerful, you must know that the most powerful piston engine in the United States is only 2,000 kilowatts of output power.

With these four high-power turboprop engines, the maximum flight speed of the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft can reach 700 kilometers per hour, and the cruising speed can also reach 600 kilometers per hour, which is too fast.

In terms of transfer range, the giant bird transport aircraft can reach 8,000 kilometers, what kind of concept is this, it can fly across the ocean, and in the case of the maximum load, it can also fly 3,000 kilometers so far!

This is also because its oil carrying capacity is very large, it can carry 40 tons of oil when it is transferred, and in the case of the maximum load, it can also carry 25 tons of oil.

This turboprop engine is fuel-efficient, and its propellers are also very special, which everyone has never seen, with eight blades, each of which is like a Mongolian scimitar.

The aircraft designed by Duan Peng is indeed too strong, and the Giant Bird No. 2 is indeed large, its fuselage length reaches 40 meters, the wingspan is also 42 meters, and the size of the cargo hold is even more amazing, with a width of four meters, a height of 3.2 meters, and a length of nearly 20 meters.

Tanks can be driven straight in.

So everyone was shocked while listening.

The most advanced technology is the engine, a 6,000-kilowatt turboprop engine, and it is not easy to design and manufacture it.

However, now there is a basis for the development and production of aero engines, so this is not a problem, and the core engine of this engine is directly the turbofan engine core engine of the Wild Boar attack aircraft.

With such a powerful engine, the Giant Bird 2 transport aircraft has excellent short take-off and landing capabilities, it can take off and land on dirt runways, and it only needs a distance of a few hundred meters.

For such a large aircraft, its landing gear is also very strong, and it uses six wheels, which looks very powerful.

In the design of the wing, the built-in type is adopted, so that the impact on aerodynamic drag is minimal, although in the internal cargo compartment, although there is a little space, but the impact is very small.

The tail has a high T-shaped flat tail design, so it looks completely different from other aircraft.

In the wings and part of the fuselage, composite materials were used, which were also very advanced.

So after Duan Peng showed this design plan, everyone was excited, the allies would definitely like it, such a good transport aircraft, only the Eighth Route Army in the world can design and manufacture it!
