The army can be said to be the basis for Germany’s flash war to be carried out efficiently; The army can be said to be the German troops who destroyed Depth Charge; The army can be said to be a force thousands of miles away to defeat the enemy.
This experience and lesson drove the British people to show their greatest enthusiasm to build their own new advanced army. They actively put the Rolls-Royce advanced engine in the United States, and the American p4 fighter plane was born with gratifying data.
However, the British are not satisfied with this fighter, because after testing, although all kinds of data of this fighter are higher than those of the German e19 fighter, it is obviously not comparable to the German own fw19d fighter. After comparative testing, the British know that they have lost their advanced R&D laboratory and a large number of scientific researchers, and they can’t surpass the Germans in piston engines in a short time.
What makes people even more desperate is that the Germans didn’t stop because they were ahead of the world. In the war, they constantly improved their fw19d fighter and launched a more advanced fighter a152. All the indicators of this fighter have reached the peak of piston fighter. It is obviously unrealistic for the British to surpass the Germans in the field of piston fighter.
So the British rummaged through their chests to find out their own family background, that is, the latest research results of jet engines before the fall of their land, and sold these results to the United States, and obtained a laboratory and an aircraft engine production factory. They hoped that another technology would eliminate the piston engine engine and completely change the war mode so that the British could continue to ensure that they were ahead in the sky.
The Americans supported the British engineers and finally finished their work, that is, they made jet engine meteor fighter. In their hearts, they ended the era of piston engine super fighter, a special weapon that could surpass the German piston fighter.
Today, including the deputy commander of the US Army Air Force, some technical officers of the US Navy, and most Canadian officers and members of the royal family in Britain, are anxiously waiting at the viewing platform, waiting for the emergence of new fighters that can change the mode of war, waiting for the hope of defeating the Germans.
"What’s not? We have been waiting here for a long time! " A member of the British royal family took a VIP seat and frowned and asked the officer in charge of the flight test around him. This is the latest weapon of war, which allows the British to sweep away the decline and take the initiative to regain the war. Advanced weapons can’t go wrong.
"sir! The fighter plane is undergoing the final test. After all, this is a new weapon, and we need to be familiar with some Chinese technologies to better control this fighter plane. "Is the officer next to us in charge of technology or is he familiar with the terrible performance of this new fighter plane? Compared with the speed of all fighters, it is worthwhile to wait more.
A group of ground crew, engineers and technical workers in the hangar nearby are carefully debugging this super fighter. It is said that this kind of aircraft can fly at a top speed of 71 kilometers per hour, surpassing almost all piston engine aircraft in service. The key is that the piston engine has not been improved, but this kind of jet engine has just been born. Naturally, there is still great potential to be developed.
"Can this thing really fly?" An old mechanic stared at the hopelessly complex structure in the plane, pointed to the plane engine and said to several workers around him, "How can this engine be mass-produced?"
It is true that most of the engines are hand-produced, and many of them are polished by the old employees of Rolls-Royce Company who fled to Canada and the United States. Even if this kind of aircraft can surpass the enemy fighters, it is absolutely impossible to equip too many after mass production.
"Engine ground test! Three, two, one! Start! " A chief engineer with glasses reached the test order. The pilot sat in the cabin and pressed the take-off button. The engine vibrated so loudly that people in the distance covered their ears.
"The right engine is shaking badly! Close it quickly! " A technician found something wrong with the engine that kept shaking and shouted at once, and then the output power of the engine gradually decreased and finally stopped slowly.
"The engine on the right side is a little unstable, and this kind of fault hasn’t happened once …" A ground crew member said with some regret. "It seems that today’s test flight will be forced to be cancelled. It took us five days to get ready for today’s test flight. It’s really frustrating that such a thing happened."
Due to the lack of engine thrust, this new jet plane has two engines of the same model symmetrically arranged in the wings on both sides. However, due to design experience problems, this plane has not adopted the design of swept wings, but adopted a propeller plane to make the wings straight.
"no! Gentlemen! I fly! Whatever happens today, we must let it take off! This is no longer a test flight. This is the only hope of our British empire! " The test pilot is a major and an avid supporter of the British royal family. He was appreciated by the British high-level officials for flying the b17 bomber out of Iceland and carrying out a one-way bombing of Berlin without returning. He was ordered to be a secret weapon test pilot this time.
"Sir, it is very dangerous to take off the plane in this situation. Please think it over before making a decision," a worker persuaded.
"I want to know! Give me the hat and goggles. I have to finish this flight! " He said this firmly and put on his parachute. Soon he got his equipment ready and climbed into the cockpit again.
In the palm of his hand, his plane was dragged by a car to the standby runway not far away. Several pairs of eyes were watching this plane, which was carried by the Allied forces and wanted to fly the plane. The British major heard the order to allow him to take off in the earphone and hit his plane engine again.
With the roar, the right engine didn’t shake this time, and the plane was still stable. During the take-off process, the speed of the runway became faster and faster, and finally the meteor experimental machine flew to the sky with a slight shake.
"My emperor! This plane is definitely faster than a German plane! " A British pilot who participated in the British war pointed to the plane and exclaimed that several American officials around him had been shocked by the speed of the plane and could not speak.
"Oh my God! How fast it flies! This test flight seems to be very successful, right? " To watch the royal family members ask the officers around them
"yes! Very successful! God bless the British Empire! " The officer nodded and stared at the plane flying back in the distance and said
When the jet fighter completed its two-minute flight and landed safely on the runway, everyone was full of confidence in defeating the German army. As they left, they talked about how this plane could save the war and win the final great victory.
"This is what we want weapons! It’s more powerful than a German plane! No more hesitation! Mass-produce this kind of plane immediately! " A British official suggested this to the official in charge of aircraft production
Chapter 635 635 British jet
"You didn’t and military personnel said this kind of plane stay time is very short? The voyage is very limited? " A man in a suit frowned and asked his assistant that his company had been ordered to produce British meteor fighters, but he was worried about some core data of this fighter and asked the person in charge.
The assistant didn’t look very good either, and replied in a low voice, "Say it! It’s obviously unrealistic for me to say that this kind of plane can intercept the other bombers at most to seize the system, but those guys say it’s enough to intercept the other bombers. "
"Then you didn’t make it clear to these idiots that we are mass-producing this kind of aircraft now? Those seemingly simple turbine blades need a lot of processing technology to make these engines, and several of them are made of earth … "The businessman knows how much his company has. His company produces hurricane fighters in Canada and some Rolls-Royce piston engines are already stretched, so how can he spare the energy to make such unrealistic things?
Hearing these words, the assistant even cried. He was depressed and replied that his company seemed very wronged. "I said that our production capacity is limited and we can deploy personnel to produce this complex aircraft, but those …"
"But we must produce this kind of plane!" A general of the Royal British Army came over and pushed the assistant and said to the businessman, "I don’t care what difficulties you have, you must get rid of them!" This is not a fighter thing anymore. Can we still go to Britain? Do the British people have the courage to go! Icelandic troops need an enemy fighter. We must give them this enemy fighter! "
When a government has been besieged on all sides, when the sun did not set in the past, the empire has now fallen into a fence, and there has been negative resistance in the distant Indian Federation. Australia has now counted on the past memories and those years of technical equipment without the British Empire.
At present, the British empire has given up the opportunity to inspire people, and the new weapon, especially a new weapon that can surpass the German weapon, has a substitute for the morale of the whole empire. On the other hand, the appearance of new weapons can also play an inestimable role in shocking the colonies that are eager to move.
"I need five less such planes. No matter what you do, once such planes appear, the sea near Iceland will be absolutely settled. The German navy will land in the king’s position without seizing the system before it can prepare for the counterattack plan!" This military officer obviously has high hopes for this kind of jet plane.
Five planes can save an empire from failure? How many planes do distant colonies need to shock? The businessman’s mouth twitched twice and didn’t ask these questions. He didn’t know how long his motherland would last, but out of patriotic belief, he decided to try his best to be an Englishman and do everything.
When businessmen’s assistants and meteor fighters in the parking lot outside the General Airport are talking in the future, at the end of the test runway at the experimental airport, the new British fighter jet that was flying like a meteor just now was emitting plumes of light smoke from the cracks in the metal skin.
"Technical personnel! Fire brigade! Come here quickly! This plane seems to be burning inside! Come on! " A ground crew member was about to hit the plane to repair the skin and check the wiring and machinery inside. When he saw that the testing machine was smoking, he quickly shouted.
A lot of people around you heard the shouting and rushed over with the fire-fighting guy. Everyone took apart the maintenance skin with seven hands and feet. After encountering more gas, they screamed and jumped up, but it was not long before they were put out by the fire-fighting equipment.
"It was the overheating of the engine on the left that ignited the rubber protective washer inside, which caused some lines to burn." A structural designer familiar with the aircraft department inspected the burning part and came to this reliable conclusion.
Everyone can’t understand that the right engine trembled before taking off and the left engine caught fire after taking off. Even if it is produced and sent to the front, how many pilots are willing to fly this plane to upgrade?
The performance is ideal, but you have to have a life to fuck. If this plane trembles, if this plane burns and catches fire, do you still have to get a German pilot’s fire? This plane may fall from the sky without even seeing the enemy. How can we rely on it to ensure the safety of the British Empire?
"This thing can’t participate in the war, and it has to be experimented for about two years until the technology is mature before it can be mass-produced!" An elderly engineer squinted at the meteor fighter through thick glasses and finally shook his head to write down the accident.
