The Third Reich

　　 "Come on, have a drink." Howard's room is more spacious, the inner and outer room, and even the second floor!

　　 came to the wine cabinet and opened a glass of champagne. Howard poured a glass for Cyric: "I admire President Adolf, and I admire the Cyric brothers. You are all great men in Germany."

　　 "Born in troubled times, there is no way." Cyric said: "We just want world peace and people live and work in peace and contentment. Like Mr. Howard, you can do what you love. Isn't it better?"

　　 The two drank the wine, Howard was very interested: "What are you going to the United States this time? I am in the United States. I still have some connections. If you need help, please tell me."

　　 Cyric hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it directly: "Actually, when I go to the United States this time, I want to meet Mr. Howard."

　　 See you? Howard was taken aback for a moment: "What can I do for you?"

"The journey across the ocean is too long. For many people, this journey is a journey, but many people hope to reach the destination faster." Cyric said: "If there is a A large passenger plane that can cross the ocean, Mr. Howard, what do you think?"

　　Passenger plane! Across the ocean!

　　 There are quite a few civil airliners today, and everything is under exploration. Up to now, more than one hundred passenger routes have been established in the world, but the average life span of these routes is only about one year. The reason is that there is no suitable aircraft.

　　 The number of passengers carried by airplanes is very small and the transportation costs are high. Companies that simply operate passenger transport have suffered heavy losses. European and American governments both provide financial subsidies to the civil aviation industry.

　　 At the same time, airlines still use wooden aircraft as the main aircraft. Although the price is cheap, the safety performance is poor, and air crashes occur from time to time. Therefore, new all-metal, high-capacity, high-speed and more comfortable passenger aircraft are the development direction.

　　 And now, the Boeing 247 and Douglas DC-1 aircraft of the United States have completed test flights. These two aircraft marked the birth of modern transport aircraft, and their structure, performance, and ride comfort have been greatly improved.

　　 At the same time, Germany is not far behind. The JU-52 transport aircraft produced by Juncker is also quite representative, sturdy and durable, and is called "Aunt Juncker."

　　 But now, there are still no intercontinental planes, and the longest range of these planes is no more than 2,000 kilometers! Now, if you want to achieve intercontinental flight, the farthest range is more than 4000 kilometers! If you want to fly back and forth, the maximum range will be tens of thousands of kilometers!

　　 In this era, I can’t even think of it!

　　 But only if you have a dream, you will have the motivation to realize it!

　　 For Howard, the challenge is higher and faster, which is the goal he pursues in life, and now, another one is added, which is to challenge further!

　　 If you talk about bombers, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the top Americans, but now, they are talking about ordinary passenger planes, which are completely civilian!

Hearing what Cyric said, Howard immediately became interested: "You mean, you want to fly across the ocean? If this is the case, the volume of the aircraft must be quite large, and the dual engines are probably not enough. "

Now, the Douglas DC-1 is almost the industry standard. Under the single wing, the landing gear can be shorter, and it can be retracted directly. The engine is on both sides of the wing. This layout is the most suitable passenger aircraft. Layout.

　　 But now, it is obviously not enough.

"Yes, if you want to make a passenger plane across the ocean, dual engines are far from enough. My suggestion is to use 4 engines." Cyric said: "There are a few drawings in my room, and I can do it myself. Painted, now, I let my hand go down and get it."

　　 When Cyric came, Graf was at the door, waiting all the time. He received Cyric’s order, and soon Graf brought Cyric’s drawings.

　　 is just a sketch. After all, Cyric is not a professional airplane designer.

　　 "Cyric, I didn't expect that you are still proficient in this, and you paint beautifully!" Howard said.

"It's just an idea of ​​mine." Cyric said: "This kind of aircraft needs tens of meters long and has a take-off weight of more than 50 tons. I think it can carry passengers about 100 meters for intercontinental flight. How about it. Are you interested?"

　　Holding Cyric’s sketch and looking at the four powerful engines above, Howard finally spit out a word in his mouth: "Go!"

　　 "Then we can jointly develop." Cyric said: "We also have very strong domestic demand, we can design and test flight together."

　　 "No problem." Howard said: "We can invest in research and development funds."

　　 Now, Howard has been designing the fastest airplane~www.ltnovel.com~ If you develop a large passenger plane, I am afraid that you will not have so much energy. Now, it is a good way to develop together!

　　 I really didn’t expect that everything went well and the main things were done on the ship!

　　 Historically, Germany has not planned large bombers, such as Junker Ju390, Fokker Wolfe Ta400, and Messerschmitt’s Me264B.

　　, especially the last one, is even more abnormal, because it uses six engines!

　　Unfortunately, for various reasons, the German strategic bomber project ended without a problem!

　　How can it be a threat to the United States? Strategic bombers are a must! Now, Germany is developing in all aspects, and many places need capital and technology. If only Germany develops itself, it will undoubtedly be very slow, but now, it is different if it is brought to the Huus company!

　　 More importantly, during this research and development process, German engineers will also learn a lot of American technology, such as stress skinning, even if it fails in the end, it is very useful!

　　 "It's a pity, our engine, horsepower is not enough, to develop this kind of large aircraft, at least more than a thousand horsepower engine." Howard said.

　　 At present, the mainstream power of aero engines is only about 600 horsepower. It is obviously insufficient to promote this large aircraft!

Hearing this, Cyric said: "Don't worry, the engine is not a problem. Our domestic BMW company is already developing a new type of high-power engine. The power may exceed 1,500 horsepower. It is just that BMW now has funds. There are some problems with turnover, and this engine is still on paper."

　　What are you doing in America? Win sympathy and sponsor! So many projects in China require a lot of funds!
