At present, the three aircraft factories of the Eighth Route Army are all in full swing, and in less than September, the first test flight of the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane will be ushered in.

You must know that the Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft is a really large aircraft, its maximum take-off weight is 110 tons, and the load is 35 tons, this strength is too powerful, so this is also a particularly important model for the Allies.

For this reason, the first flight ceremony will also be very grand, and it will welcome the arrival of the representatives of the allied forces.

The Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft, in the taxiing test, the performance is very stable, it can be said that whether it is power, or the control system, it is as stable as an old dog, so this first flight does not have to worry at all, not only representatives of the Allied forces are coming, but also a lot of media reporters.

You must know that now that the war has reached this point, journalists from various countries are also propagandizing, and now the Allied side must have an advantage, so these advanced weapons and equipment must be vigorously propagandized to make the enemy feel afraid.

In this era, the Giant Bird II is definitely the most powerful heavy transport aircraft, and its carrying capacity is even capable of transporting even a medium tank straight away.

Therefore, the Allies really need such advanced transport aircraft, after all, the transport aircraft such as the C47 that the Allies were equipped with before had too poor carrying capacity.

Just the Giant Bird No. 1 transport plane has already made the Allies taste the sweetness, you must know that the take-off weight of the Giant Bird No. 1 transport plane is only sixty tons, and the load is less than twenty tons.

Now that the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane has doubled, how can the allies not be moved, so this time the allies also ordered a huge number of Giant Bird No. 2 transport planes, just in order to drop a large number of troops to the enemy's rear in one fell swoop, or even the mainland, to completely defeat the enemy.

Today's first flight ceremony is very important, so Duan Peng also came to the scene early to arrange relevant work, after all, he is the commander-in-chief of this first flight.

Li Yunlong also came very early, because he is also Duan Peng's important assistant now, and he must come for such an advanced plane to make its first flight, because the Air Force is under his command.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the leaders and guests came, and dozens of reporters were also at the scene, waiting to witness history.

A huge transport plane, already painted in green, is now surrounded by a group of ground crews, and the preparations are about to be completed, and the first flight can begin.

At today's first flight ceremony, the leader of the Eighth Route Army made an important speech, pointing out that the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane will play an important role in the war, so it is necessary to ensure the success of this first flight, and to complete the test flight mission as soon as possible, put it into mass production as soon as possible, and let the allies have a large number of equipment.

Of course, this is also the result that the Allies want, after all, with such a powerful military transport aircraft, what else can't be defeated?

Next, the Allied representatives also spoke, he said that the Allied forces were very satisfied with this transport aircraft, and asked the Eighth Route Army to make more of it, and now it can be prepared, after all, this is wartime not peacetime, so even if the aircraft has not completed the test flight mission, it can be produced in small batches in advance.

Of course, this is a good thing, Duan Peng can't wait for it, and the leaders of the Eighth Route Army also like it.

Next, the test pilots are ready to go, first of all, there is a companion Giant Bird 1 transport plane, which rises from the runway, several engineers are on the plane, and a few reporters, they can take important pictures from the air.

Immediately afterwards, the test pilots came to the front of the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane, which was much larger than the Giant Bird No. 1, which made them very proud, and they were honored to be the test pilots of the first flight of such an advanced military transport aircraft, and they were also to be recorded in the annals of aviation history.

Two other engineers also came to the Giant Bird 2 plane, because if something went wrong, they could solve it quickly.

When they all entered the cockpit, the hatch closed and the ground crew evacuated.

After the power-on check, the test pilot started the engine.

The Giant Bird 2 transport plane, the four high-power turboprop engines, roared, the huge blades spun, each engine has an output of 6,000 kilowatts, of course, now it is only a few hundred kilowatts.

The huge fuselage slowly slid out of the tarmac and began to follow the taxiway to the runway.

Coming to the runway, the giant transport plane, after staying for a while, began to accelerate.

At this time, the engine is the output of full strength, and the four engines add up to more than 30,000 horsepower, so under the pulling force generated by this powerful engine, this huge plane, only taxied for six or seven hundred meters, left the ground, and began to climb.

At this time, everyone applauded, the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane is really too strong, such a big guy, it flies very fast.

The climb speed is not slow, and it will not be seen for a while.

The Giant Bird No. 2 transport aircraft climbed to an altitude of 8,000 meters and entered the cruising state, at which time its speed had reached 550 kilometers per hour, close to the maximum design cruising speed, and in this state, it was the most fuel-efficient.

If necessary, the Giant Bird II transport aircraft can also fly up to 700 kilometers per hour, and it can be said that most propeller fighters cannot catch up with it.

On the Giant Bird No. 1 transport plane that accompanied the flight, several reporters recorded the picture of the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane flying in the air with their cameras, which was really outstanding.

But then, they couldn't catch up, because the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane began to test the maximum speed, only to see the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane, the engine exploded again, and quickly threw the Giant Bird No. 1 transport plane behind it out of sight.

From the top of the Giant Bird No. 1 transport plane, it can be clearly seen that the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane has turned into a small black dot and disappeared.

It's too fast, and now the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane has reached 700 kilometers per hour, which of course the Giant Bird No. 1 can't catch up, because its maximum speed is only 550 kilometers per hour.

The first test flight was a success, and an hour later, both Giant Bird transport planes flew back.

The Giant Bird 1 transport plane was ready to land, its attitude was quite stable, and it quickly landed on the runway.

It was so successful that it used the counter-propeller to slow down and quickly stopped.

Then Giant Bird 2 landed with ease.

Everyone cheered, the test flight was a great success, the Giant Bird No. 2 transport plane, will go down in the history of human aviation, it is the world's first military transport aircraft with a take-off weight of more than 100 tons, and it is also the fastest flying military transport aircraft.

Duan Peng was also very happy, because mass production could start next, and the allies couldn't wait.
