Chapter 450: Imperial Eagle II
Afterwards, the huge plane began to fly in the air again, and slightly pressed the nose of the plane, making a shallow dive. This movement was so small that it seemed to the prince to slide down about 50 meters. And this action caused an exclamation from the audience next to them. In their opinion, this action was too exciting! And because of this action, the wings of the plane seemed to shake as a whole, as if they couldn't bear the huge stress. No way, the entire aircraft body is made of wood, and there are no ribs inside the wings, just two boards supported by wooden poles in the middle. The whole plane is still very fragile, after all, this is the first plane.
"I'll go, is this dive angle 20 degrees?" the prince said in his heart. However, he still asked the accompanying photographer to take a picture of the majestic appearance of Aviator 1.
"Can you use some means or shooting angles to make the plane look higher? Faster? And those dives and turns must be taken well. Hmm." Prince asked the side said the royal photographer.
"Your wish, my duty." Without further ado, the photographer began to adjust the lens and focus. There is no way, good wine is also afraid of deep alleys, no matter how good things are, it is impossible not to hype them. Of course, these key information will naturally not be released to the public through newspapers and other means. In fact, including today’s experiment, it is done in an extremely secretive environment Not even the design team members can tell their families what they work on!
After tossing in the air for half an hour, Voyager 1 was ready to land. Compared with the plane of the Wright Brothers, Voyager 1 was much more troublesome to land. The industry side is long, Ryan needs to carefully control the angle of the plane. If the angle is too large, it will hit the ground directly, and if the angle is too small, it will easily bounce. He carefully controlled the speed of the plane, and finally shut down the engine when the two front wheels of the plane touched the ground and slid steadily for a certain distance.
"Long live! We have set a new record!" When the plane finally stopped at the end of the runway, everyone present cheered for this successful flight. And the prince is also very happy, after all, this is a good start, and the Luftwaffe has taken a solid first step since then!
"Baron Lilienthal, can the load capacity of this plane be increased a little?" the prince suddenly turned around and asked.
"This is naturally possible. If the volume of the plane is larger, it will be no problem to add another 40 kilograms." Baron Lilienthal thought for a while and said. The large wing area makes the take-off conditions of this aircraft very low, and the engine power of 50 horsepower is not small. The engine power of the Fokker D1 fighter that caused the Fokker disaster back then was only 130 horsepower.
"Very good, Major General Schmidt, you immediately arrange for a team to design machine guns and small bombs that can be mounted on the aircraft, and then install these weapons on the aircraft. Then contact the photographer to make the scene of the aircraft attacking the ground Take pictures, the more shocking the better, you can use some extraordinary means." The prince turned his head and told his number one military follower.
"It should be no problem to install a machine gun, but I still have doubts about the effect of weapons carried by the aircraft. We all know that the machine gun must be stable when shooting, so we need to equip a tripod, and the aircraft itself will shake when flying." It's wobbly, and it's pretty fast. So I don't think it's going to do much good with a machine gun."
"Secondly, as for bombs, I think the current aircraft can carry a few grenades or special mortar shells,
I can't carry any heavier bombs. After all, this plane weighs only more than 500 kilograms even with a person, and its load capacity is very limited, and it can't be aimed at all. "Major General Schmidt frowned and thought for a while, then said truthfully.
"I support Major General Schmidt's opinion, not only because of the problem of aiming and shooting, but more importantly, the structure of the aircraft is still too fragile. It is not a big problem to add a machine gun to the seat position, but if you want to install bombs If it is, the pylon must be designed, and the center of gravity of the entire aircraft must be readjusted, and when the bomb is dropped, the instant weight reduction will cause the aircraft to shake. This will have a great impact on the flight." After a while, Li Linta Baron Earle also objected to the prince's request.
"Brothers, can you stop being so serious? I have already said that extraordinary measures can be used, why don't you understand??" The prince was so depressed. As a time traveler, how could the prince not understand that in this era, before the emergence of new sights and dive bombing, bombing hits are almost based on faith, and machine gun attacks are basically based on scaring? But everything has to be done step by step, and in order to attract more attention and make Germany pay more attention to the role of aircraft, some fakes should be done when necessary! Why don't you understand?
"Use all the methods you can think of to highlight the actual combat value of the aircraft. You can even simulate bombing by pre-burying bombing points on the ground. I understand clearly. Take photos of these attack actions, Then hand it over to me, as long as I am satisfied, the year-end bonus will be doubled for all participants!" As the future heir of the Kingdom of Bavaria, the prince has clearly stated that he is going to cheat, if you still don't know how to do it, the prince should consider doing it A movie studio again!
"This is deception! We can't do this!" Baron Lilienthal frowned and whispered.
"But this is a very necessary lie." Baron Daimler next to him pulled Count Lilienthal behind him without saying a word. "Don't worry, we will definitely satisfy you. For the Kingdom of Bavaria and for the aviation industry of mankind, all means are available." This made the prince's teeth ache. Although it is true, but the cost can be said so Sublime and great, that's enough!
Daimler really deserves to be a person who can become a business giant. The prince has said so, ordered you to fake it, and made you hype it. Naturally, Daimler cannot give up this opportunity, so he immediately patted his chest and promised to complete the task . "We can even mount cameras high up and take pictures," assures Daimler.
"Your shameless appearance is very similar to what I used to be!" The prince commented very pertinently in his heart.
If you want the aviation industry to develop, you naturally need to have benefits. The development of aircraft in this era is useless for civilian use. If it is transportation and weather observation, it is not as easy to use as airships. Even in World War I, those who can fly to the height of airships There are very few planes, not to mention the load capacity. So some exaggerated means are still needed!
