Blackstone Code Chapter 360: Planes and planes and planes

The people in the military have their own stands. Perhaps because there are people in the military, every inventor of the aircraft looks very excited.

Previously, the military gave some of the inventors in the field of hot air balloons to continue to deepen their inventions. To be honest, these practices made the inventors of very non-hot air balloon aircraft drool with envy, and now their opportunities are also coming.

After speaking to Lynch, Mr. Trueman and the military walked to a corner and had a low-key conversation. They were discussing some ideas of several inventors who had attracted their attention.

In fact, since the invention of the submarine, the military has not taken it out immediately, but has been thinking about how to counteract the submarine.

Not only the Federation has submarines, but other countries with more advanced science and technology, such as Gefra, also have submarines.

It's just that the Federation may be the first country to turn the underwater equipment that has been used for civilian use into a weapon of war. Once these submarines begin to show their sharp claws in the Eastern Ocean, other countries will soon will follow up.

Sometimes the times change and the technology advances, what is lacking is an idea, an aura.

After many tests, I observed the sea surface from the angle of standing on the ship. Under the influence of light, the submarine hidden in the water could not be seen at all. However, if it is at a higher angle, it will reduce the refraction and reflection of the light on the sea surface. With poor vision, people can spot submarines under the sea with the naked eye.

So in the past two years, the military has allocated a lot of money to the inventors of hot air balloons who they think are not necessarily valuable, but can be pulled into the battlefield anytime, anywhere, and have come up with a device that can be loaded on ships. , the project of "Rapid Rising Observation Hot Air Balloons" for rapid lift-off observation anytime, anywhere.

But the military always believes that hot air balloons cannot solve these problems very well. First of all, hot air balloons are easy to be shot down. Even if they already have armored hot air balloons, they are still easily shot down.

Secondly, once the hot air balloon cannot stay in the air for a long time and becomes a consumable, it has to assemble more hot air balloon equipment and occupy more space on the ship. Once the hot air balloon is exhausted, the submarine will become Big killer.

So the military has turned its attention to non-hot air balloon vehicles, and maybe they can solve this problem.

Mr. Truman and the military people talked for a while and then sat back next to Lynch. At this time, the aircraft exhibition also began.

The first thing that came out was a pretty standard fixed-wing plane, at least as close to the ones Lynch remembered.

The designer of this fixed-wing aircraft is a well-known inventor in the field of aircraft invention. He first let his assistant drag the aircraft around the scene while he himself stood by the stand. Introduce your new design to everyone.

"...I used more aluminum alloys in this design, and Mitro Industries revamped their aluminum alloy formula last year, allowing the new aluminum alloy to be slightly stronger and lighter... …”

"...Referring to some of the problems we had in the last design, we made some modifications to expand the wingspan and wrap the wings with sheepskin..."

The practice of wrapping the wings of an airplane with leather... is really amazing. Lynch laughed when he heard it, and some people even laughed out loud.

Of course, some people are not so happy, not the inventor, but other inventors who haven't had time to show their work.

Everyone knows the value of "golden ideas" in invention and creation, but its greater value is reflected in the process of fooling laymen and investors. The inventor named the hot air balloon covered with armor just proposed This idea has received a lot of funds for him to realize.

This shows how important "I have an idea" is to them.

It's not a bizarre idea to wrap an airplane wing with leather, and there have even been feathers on airplane wings before, and the reason for this must be that it works.

There is still no perfect aerodynamics suitable for promotion. People are still exploring this aspect, but some folk inventors have found through continuous experiments that the leather of some animals is stable in the process of specific use. higher than a wooden airplane wing without any coating or outer covering.

They may not know exactly what it's doing, but they know the benefits.

The inventor went on to explain why he wrapped a layer of sheepskin on the wings of the plane. After introducing a lot of data, Lynch roughly understood part of the content.

To put it simply, this design is now lighter than before, more stable when flying in the air, and less likely to have an accident during landing after the redesign has adjusted the center of gravity.

He also lists some assumptions, such as replacing the more advanced engine to make the plane fly faster, such as if he can get more funds he can completely replace the wooden structure of the aircraft design with aluminum alloy... …

In short, in his opinion, this aircraft is almost perfect!

Immediately after the inventor and his assistant started the test flight, they were ready before the start of the exhibition. When the plane was parked at the end of the runway by them, the people in the stands gradually stood up.

This is an exciting time, the desire and dream of mankind to conquer the sky has existed since the birth of human society.

In ancient times, people always imagined that humans could fly like birds. Now, the inventors of the Federation are constantly advancing on the road to conquer the sky every year.

The plane successfully flew after acceleration, Lynch was a little surprised, "It flew!"

Mr. Trueman is very calm, "Yes, it flies, people can do it ten years ago, but until now, all we can do is just fly."

He doesn't act as excited as the others, he's calm, and even gives people a sense of disappointment.

Aircraft have existed for a long time, and they can fly, but what they can do is to fly.

After flying for a few kilometers, the pilot falls down. Luckily, the pilot can survive to design the next aircraft. If he is unlucky, it will be destroyed together with his work. At one time, some people thought that these aircraft inventors were liars and defrauded investment. People's funds, it is useless to say what they have come up with, and there are still terrible dangers.

These conditions still exist to this day, taking off is easy, landing is always a big problem, and so is the flight distance.

In order to take off easier and to fly farther, it is very important to ensure the total weight of the aircraft. In addition to its own structure, the current heaviest aircraft can only carry two thin pilots to the sky.

So far, this may indeed be an industry full of potential, but people still can't see the future in a short time.

Compared to a fast-rising hot air balloon that costs thousands of dollars, this kind of plane that costs tens of thousands of dollars and takes a life seems to be less suitable for use in war.

This is also the reason why Lynch subconsciously described Mr. Truman as "dangerous" in the field of aircraft at the beginning, and mistakenly believed that these inventions were for war, but Mr. Truman did not agree.

These planes probably have no use for anything other than suicide.

Military evaluators are still evaluating, evaluating the shortest acceleration distance for takeoff, evaluating takeoff speed, evaluating takeoff angle, evaluating how smoothly it flies in the air.

In the past two years, there was a violent tremor when an aircraft was flying in the air, which eventually led to a direct disintegration accident. Stability has also become one of the criteria for the quality of the aircraft.

Those who watched the fun cheered, but the inventor in the sky began to sweat. He had finished showing what he needed to show, and it was time to land.

There are two ways to land the aircraft now. If you are confident in your own aircraft design, you can land on the runway. This is one of the reasons why the flying wings of fixed-wing aircraft are still wooden. When people need to glide, its Toughness and stretch properties bring some convenience.

Another way is to land in the grain heap and gamble that you won't be crushed to death by the engine or the crumbling propeller.

In the end, the inventor chose to land on the runway. If he wanted to get funding from the military, he had to land on the runway.

After adjusting the angle and height of the plane, it began to slow down, and the people in the stands were nervously clenching their fists.

As soon as the front wheel of the aircraft made contact with the ground, the sound of a punctured tire spread throughout the entire stand, and the soldier in charge of evaluating the aircraft directly gave the aircraft a big "x".

But fortunately, there is not much problem at the back. After the front tire punctured, it deformed rapidly, the landing gear was broken, and after the collapse, the fuselage fell directly to the ground.

The balance of the plane is good~IndoMTL.com~ If any side of the flying wing touches the ground, it is likely to be another plane crash, although from the current point of view, this is also an accident. Genius one second to remember 噺バ一Chinesem.x/8/1/z/w.c/o/m/

The inventor stood in front of the stands as if he had just been fished out of the bathtub, and he squeezed a smiley face, "It's...safe, I proved it!"

Mr. Trueman shook his head, disappointed and less disillusioned with the latter.

Lynch suddenly interjected at this time, "It may be because of the runway, it is not flat enough."

Mr. Trueman looked at him curiously, "You know this too?"

Lynch smiled and said nothing. Neither of them took this matter to heart.

In some of the later aircraft demonstrations, the content displayed by everyone is roughly the same, but it is nothing more than doing some essays on the wings of the aircraft, until Lynch sees a propeller-wing aircraft appear.

It was a flight cabin like a large egg. The pilot sat on the engine and turned the propeller directly above the aircraft through the transmission rod, trying to lift the flight cabin with lift.

Mr. Truman looked very carefully, which is also the purpose of his coming here. This may not be the first rotary-wing aircraft in history, but its completion level is very close to the helicopter in Lynch's impression.

But in the end, everyone was disappointed. Although it and its designers had worked hard, it still didn't fly.
