Chapter 133: Delivery of 20 Hippopotamus Helicopters

One magazine can hold fifteen tons of bombs, and one can hold ten tons of bombs, which is really amazing.

Next, a tractor was used to pull the huge bomber outside the workshop.

Coming to the outside of the workshop, the ground crew began to act, because today is the first taxiing test, and it is also to show the leaders and guests the strength of the Kunpeng No. 3 strategic bomber.

After all, the four turbofan engines will definitely be very shocking when the time comes.

Duan Peng is very confident, although it is the first glide test, but if this can't be done, then he will have to doubt the system.

The ground crews surrounded the huge bomber and began to carry out various inspections and refuel.

You must know that the Kunpeng No. 3 strategic bomber is very capable of drinking oil, its huge fuel tank can hold 60 tons of fuel, and its body weight is only 55 tons, and it can also hang 15 tons of bombs in the case of maximum fuel load, and in this case the range can reach more than 12,000 kilometers, and if only five tons of bombs are hung, it will be 13,000 kilometers.

So this is very amazing, it can be loaded with 50 tons of fuel when it is full of bombs, so the range is also 10,000 kilometers.

The leaders and guests all talked one after another, and they were quite looking forward to the next gliding test.

Duan Peng was also briefing the leaders and guests, and one leader said excitedly: "Comrade Duan Peng, our Kunpeng No. 3 strategic bomber is really very good, twice as big as the Kunpeng No. 2, you must hurry up and strive to let it complete the test flight work as soon as possible1"

Indeed, the early completion of the test flight work means that it can be delivered to the Eighth Route Army and the Allies as soon as possible, so that they can enter the battle as soon as possible, blow up the little devils, and strive to win the war as soon as possible, after all, the balance of victory in the war has been tilted in favor of the Allies, but it is not enough to crush the little devils, but a more powerful bomber fleet is also needed to carry out large-scale strikes on the homeland of the little devils.

Duan Peng hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, we will definitely be able to complete the test flight as planned, and we will definitely be able to deliver the first batch of mass-produced Kunpeng No. 3 strategic bombers by the end of next year!" ”

Hearing Duan Peng's confident assurance, the leading guests were overjoyed, it was really fast to have this kind of strategic bomber by the end of next year.

After all, there is only a little more than a year left, and when the time comes, you can bomb the little devils as much as you want.

Duan Peng also introduced to the leaders and guests that this time it is planned to build three prototypes for test flights, of course, the static test of the whole aircraft is impossible, because it is a waste of money, and it is not needed during the war years.

The three prototypes, after the completion of the test flight, will not say that they will be stored, or they will be delivered to the Eighth Route Army Air Force for service, because their airframe life will not exceed half of the consumption during the test flight.

Soon the preparations for the taxiing test were ready, the test pilots were ready to set off, and under everyone's gaze, the three test pilots entered the Kunpeng-3 strategic bomber.

Inside the wide cockpit, the test pilots began to power up and check, and then started the engine.

Four high-thrust turbofan engines emit a deafening roar, which sounds exciting.

The exhaust of the engine roasted the air to deformation, and the bomber began to taxi, entering the runway, and then the test pilots increased the throttle, and the four turbofan engines began to roar, and the huge thrust made the huge body of the bomber also begin to accelerate and taxi.

Of course, its acceleration is naturally not as fast as that of a jet fighter, because of its large weight, 55 tons of airframe plus the five tons of fuel that was filled before, that is 60 tons.

The take-off thrust of the four engines is more than thirty-three tons, and there is only a thrust-to-weight ratio of point and five.

Soon this strategic bomber reached a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, of course, this is only a medium-speed taxiing test, and today it can only be here, because the high-speed taxiing test is relatively dangerous, and it can only be carried out when the conditions are ripe.

But even so, it made the leaders and guests excited, such a large plane can carry dozens of tons of bombs, fly to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, at a speed of 900 per hour, and can fly more than 10,000 kilometers, it is indeed unbelievable, but the facts are in front of you.

After the taxiing test, the leaders were very happy, they knew that the next victory was in sight, as long as there were enough bombers to fly to the home of the little devil to bomb, then the little devil would not last long, because the destructive power of this strategic bomber was too great, one was 25 tons of bombs, and the 100 were 2,500 tons of bombs.

Dispatching in turns like this, sending thousands of tons of bombs to the little devil's homeland every day, the little devil can't hold on even if he is strong.

The leaders and guests did not leave because tomorrow there is an important event, which is the delivery ceremony of the first batch of hippopotamus helicopters.

This time, there were twenty Hippo helicopters to be delivered to the Eighth Route Army and the Allies, of which eight were for the Eighth Route Army and twelve for the Allies.

You must know that the Hippo helicopter is also a very important piece of equipment, which can not only transport personnel and equipment to the front line and drop it directly into the air, but also can be equipped with machine guns and rockets, becoming a strong aerial firepower and a killer of tanks.

So this time the Allies were very happy, because they were going to get twelve Hippo helicopters.

During this year, the Allies were equipped with a large number of five-ton Dragonfly helicopters, which can be said to have verified the practicality of the helicopter in actual combat, and its performance in every battle was very eye-catching, eliminating a large number of enemy tanks and armored vehicles.

So now the Allies really want to get a lot of Hippo helicopters, because the Hippo helicopter is an eleven-ton helicopter, which is twice as large as the Dragonfly helicopter, so that its carrying capacity is twice as strong, and the same is true for firepower.

Therefore, if a large number of Hippo helicopters are obtained, the Allies can launch a larger offensive.

The next morning, Duan Peng got up early and commanded everyone to make the delivery ceremony very festive.

Twenty hippopotamus helicopters, which are lined up, are very powerful.

Soon it was nine o'clock, and the leading guests came to the delivery ceremony.

They saw the hippo helicopters lined up, they were all smiling brightly, such an advanced helicopter was about to start to be equipped, and the end of the little devil was coming.

Then the delivery ceremony began, and the leader of the Eighth Route Army made an important speech, in which he pointed out that vigorously developing helicopters is an important task for the Eighth Route Army aircraft factory in the future, and it is necessary to let helicopters play an important role in the war.

Of course, there is also a potential role, that is, to make money, because a hippopotamus helicopter is not cheap, it can earn tens of thousands of dollars.
