The airflow in the air fluctuated violently under the stimulation of the engine, and a huge aircraft body that was far larger than an ordinary fighter gradually descended in height.
After circling the Lanzhou Military Airport for several times, it descended again, its tall tires rubbing against the ground.
After taxiing for a certain distance, the gray aircraft gradually stopped.
"It finally stopped.
This flight has been really long."
Sun Lanfeng took the ladder provided by the ground crew and went down to the ground.
After flying in the sky for a long time, this down-to-earth feeling was really good.
"No, damn it.
If I had known earlier, I would have brought more things.
Damn it, I'll starve to death on a plane."
Peng Dequan shivered.
It was already cold at high altitude, and with the addition of a crew member, Peng Dequan shivered.
The three of them flew the plane in the air for seven or eight hours without landing.
Some of them underestimated how much they wanted to eat on the plane, but in order to complete the mission, they still persisted and landed in Lanzhou when there was still some fuel left. .
"Shut up, Chief of Staff and Commander."
Xu Mo'an, the last pilot to get off the ground, was startled when he saw Jiang Li and Gao Zhihang who had already driven to the airport.
Unexpectedly, this newly-tested aircraft not only attracted Gao Zhihang , even Jiang Li came over.
"Commander, Chief of Staff" they all saluted Jiang Li and others.
"Well, not bad."
After Jiang Li raised his arms to return the military salute, his eyes glanced around a few people, and then fell on the huge aircraft behind them, with a look of approval in his eyes.
"Professor Zeng, please introduce this kind of aircraft to the commander.
Until now, there is no long-range bomber that can be used in the northwest.
Our commander has been having trouble sleeping and eating."
Gao Zhihang, who usually has a straight face, is also rare at this time.
He made a joke about Jiang Li.
"I have trouble sleeping and eating, how can you get a good night's sleep?"
Jiang Li shrugged.
"The experimental aircraft was manufactured two years ago.
But as the first four-engine bomber we developed, there are still quite a few problems with its stability and comprehensive layout.
After two years of continuous improvement and correction.
Now It has gradually matured.”
When it comes to developing four-engine bombers, Zeng Yijing laments that he is not as talented as Wang Xiaofeng, Zhu Jiaren and others in terms of fighter talent.
Even in terms of bomber design, he is far from outstanding.
But since accepting Jiang Li's invitation, he has been conscientiously contributing all his efforts to the development of Northwest Airlines for six years.
With the continuous improvement of Northwest aviation industry.
Zhu Jiaren and Wang Xiaofeng, who had gone to the United States together, also came back one after another.
And he was the last one to come back.
When the Northwest was developing four-engine bombers, the Germans were also involved at the earliest.
Later, with the withdrawal of the Germans, the project encountered considerable trouble.
Due to the extreme shortage of Northwest people, Zeng Yijing was transferred back.
It must be said that at this time The United States is far from outstanding in fighter jets, but it has indeed been at the forefront of the world in the development of bombers, and airlines in the United States have also accumulated considerable experience over the years.
With the joint efforts of Zeng Yijing and the bomber project department, the almost-dying four-engine bomber was able to be continued again. now.
The northwest four-engine bomber finally rushed into the blue sky and soared balancedly above the blue sky for several hours.
At this time, Zeng Yijing, who was looking at the blue sky, had a lot of silver hair on his temples.
"We named this bomber Kunpeng.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It is named after the sacred bird of China, which means that the sacred bird protects the land of China."
"The experimental aircraft that has completed the test at the same time has flown nearly 1.37 million kilometers in total and has not yet experienced any major safety hazards.
The aircraft has a fuselage of 231 meters long, a height of 602 meters, a wingspan of 3205 meters, a cruising speed of 213 kilometers per hour, and a top speed of 406 kilometers per hour.
Currently, it has a fuselage of 231 meters, a height of 602 meters, and a wingspan of 3205 meters.
The tested range is about 2,370 kilometers.
The engines are four copies of Rolls-Royce Hurricane 2, with a total power of 2. 53 tons.
The current bomb load is 56 tons.
The new Hurricane 3 engine has a power of about 1250 horsepower.
Overall, Kunpeng still has considerable room for improvement.
Even if the engine is not replaced, the bomb load can be reached by slightly adjusting it.
It's about six to seven tons.
If the Hurricane 3 engine can be successfully modified, the Kunpeng's range will exceed 3,000 kilometers, and the maximum bomb load is expected to be about 9 tons. " "The initial setting of Kunpeng 1's airborne crew is 10, of which 5 are machine gunners.
The defensive weapons are 11 127 mm large-caliber machine guns.
With such ferocious firepower, if formed into a formation, it will have a certain defense against enemy fighter jets. , but the maximum flight altitude of Kunpeng 1 has reached 9,760 meters.
It is not difficult for the Japanese army to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters after the performance improvement.
It is a combat aircraft, so the relative safety factor of this kind of aircraft is still very high, but trouble also comes.
Because it is too high from the ground, although the Northwest's self-produced sight has the help of those Jews, there are still certain technical faults for the time being. .
The United States has heard that the relevant technical problems have been solved.
If possible, the commander will see if the production technology of the bomb sight can be obtained from the United States. " Zeng Yijing said with a wry smile that this kind of large bomber can be said to be a destruction machine.
However, because its performance is still very advanced compared to Northwest China, many links have failed.
Therefore, although Jiang Li planned the bomber earlier, a series of Technical glitches still took Northwest several years to overcome.
Relatively speaking, in terms of combat aircraft, the development difficulty of biplanes is not too difficult.
Most of the technologies of Feilong 1 are directly derived from bf109.
Wang Zhu was directly involved in the design.
It will naturally be faster for Northwest to get started. .
Relatively speaking, the performance of Kunpeng 1 is naturally very superior, but with such a huge body, flying height, bomb delivery accuracy and fuel consumption are big problems.
"How is Kunpeng's output now?"
Jiang Li asked this most concerning question.
Due to the lack of long-range heavy bombardment, the Northwest Air Force lacked sufficient attack methods.
The reason why it could barely block the Japanese attack during the Great Wall War was related to the Northwest Air Force's successful raid on the airport and supplies behind the Japanese army.
It is not the northwest style to only take beatings without fighting back, and Jiang Li will not be satisfied with Xifeng 1 just bombing a small group of troops and transport vehicles on the Japanese front line.
Kunpeng is the key to future attacks.
With a bomb load of several tons and a range of thousands of kilometers, it already has long-range attack capabilities.
What is lacking right now is just the size of the heavy bombardment formation.
"The current monthly production is 2 aircraft, and it can be increased to 3 to 4 aircraft per month by the first half of next year.
Although Kunpeng is extremely destructive, its fuel consumption is far beyond that of ordinary fighters.
If it does not affect other areas, it will Focusing on the expansion of the bomber fleet, the northwest must further strengthen oil refining work," Zeng Yijing reminded
