Romanian Eagle

Chapter 72 New Aircraft

After sending off a group of people preparing for the rubber crisis, Carust briefed the crown prince. Now Edel trusts his captain of the bodyguard, so he gave this matter to him.

More than a month later, a guard came to report that Henry Coanda and the others had completed the task of entrusting the army to them, and planned to invite the crown prince to check it out. Thinking that this was the first batch of military aircraft in Romania, Eder agreed and planned to take a look at the handover.

On the second day at the original flight base, now called Coanda Aircraft Factory. Eder met Henry Coanda, who had been discharged, and his assistant, Feraicu, and the army's newly formed Army Air Corps officer, Major Ankerdra.

"Kanda, how are you feeling after being discharged from the hospital?" Eder asked with concern, the famous Romanian aviator.

"I was so bad in the hospital that I couldn't see my beloved plane." Coanda answered the crown prince before continuing. "Actually, this time I designed the aircraft for the army, mainly my assistant Feraiku. The ability is not worse than mine, but I am a bit luckier than him."

After finishing speaking, Coanda also pulled his assistant and planned to sell him.

"I have known your assistant for a long time, and he is also an amazing pilot." After Edel finished speaking to Coanda, he reached out to Ferayku and said. "Being able to build and help the army build aircraft this time has made a deep impression on you, Mr. Feraiku."

"Thank you very much, Your Royal Highness, it is an honour for me to be able to help Romania."

After hearing Ferayku's words, Edel let go of his hand and spoke to Anchorage, the army receiving officer. "After receiving this batch of aircraft, you must think about their use. In the future, the aircraft should be used not only for reconnaissance, but this new department of yours needs to think carefully."

After hearing the words of the crown prince, the current head of the aviation team replied. "Your Highness, we will pay attention to what you say."

Seeing that it is almost said, Coanda said. "Your Highness, let's go and see the plane first?"

"Alright."

After hearing the crown prince's reply, several people walked outside the hangar and saw eight planes that had already been built. At this time, Ferayku came out and saluted the crown prince and said. "Since it is mainly designed by me, then I will explain the general data of this aircraft to His Royal Highness."

After hearing Ferayku's words, Eder and his party stood by the plane and nodded to indicate that they could start explaining.

"His Royal Highness, we named this aircraft 'Pioneer'. It has two layers of wings, of which the fuselage is 13.2 meters long, the wingspan is 10.1 meters long, and the distance between the wings is 1.2 meters. The main body of the fuselage is a hollow steel frame structure, in which we The wood surface is stitched and the skin is sewn. On the engine of the nose, we use the French land God rotary cylinder engine. We add a circle of iron around the seat to prevent the ground-to-aircraft shooting from hurting the pilot..."

Hearing Ferayku's continuous explanation of the performance of the aircraft, Eder suddenly discovered that perhaps this Coanda's assistant was the real aircraft designer, and Coanda was more of an adventurer and pilot.

I didn't know that Eder suddenly took a fancy to his Feilaicu, and asked after explaining the structure of the aircraft. "Your Highness, what do you think of this aircraft?"

After hearing Ferayku's words, Edel retracted his mind and continued to ask. "What's its flight distance and lift now?"

Hearing the crown prince's question, Feraiku replied. "Because this aircraft is now stronger than what we have built before, its flight distance is slightly shorter than our previous one. The maximum flight distance is about 80 kilometers, and the lift-off limit is about 3 kilometers."

After listening to Ferayku's explanation, Eder knew that the current plane was just a decoration, and he could only continue to encourage it.

"It's a good job. You must continue to work hard to develop more advanced aircraft. Let's see what the pilots do."

After the crown prince finished speaking,

I saw the head of the aviation team, Ankodra, waving to the people next to him. Immediately, a pilot came up and got on a plane, the staff next to him started to start the engine, and the plane gradually accelerated and flew into the sky.

Edel looked at the plane taking off and whispered to Coanda and Ferayku beside him. "Now this 'Pioneer' aircraft can only solve the basic needs of the army, the range is still too short, and the practicality is not very good."

After Coanda and Ferayku heard the crown prince's words, they looked at each other and finally asked by Coanda. "Your Highness, what kind of aircraft do you think should be used to meet the needs of the military?"

"The maximum distance between planes should be more than 120 kilometers, preferably 150 kilometers. The stay in the air should be more than 40 minutes, and the current lift-off limit is enough. It's better to be firmer." Eder said that the first battle The aircraft data in the early stage was obtained with great difficulty in the previous life investigation, so it was very impressive.

In the face of the unusual request of the crown prince, the two felt a lot of pressure. After some eye contact, Coanda spoke to the crown prince. "His Royal Highness, we will incorporate your request into the manufacture of our next aircraft. I believe we will make this aircraft in a year or two."

"I'm waiting for your good news. If you really do it, I plan to ask the army to purchase more than 24 of this new aircraft." After the crown prince made the request, he still gave the carrot as usual.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support."

After caring about the plane, the crown prince began to care about the pilot.

"Major Anchorella, is this plane in the sky now being piloted by your aviation team?"

"Yes, Your Highness, we sent 12 soldiers to learn how to fly an airplane three months ago. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing the flight demonstration with the best pilot we have learned, Jan Irascu."

Edel was suddenly interested in the name and asked. "Tell me about this Jan Irascu."

"Okay, Your Highness."

Under the explanation of Major Ankerdra, Eder learned that this Jan Irascu was born in Iasi, and his family was a homesteader. When he was young, he was called to the choir by a local priest because of his cute looks, where the priest taught him to read. When he was 11 years old, he was sent to school by his father, and his grades were relatively good. At the age of 18, due to family reasons, he did not continue to study. Later, he joined the army and was chosen by Major Anchorage as a pilot.

After Major Anchorage finished speaking, the Jan Irascu also drove the plane and landed smoothly on the ground.

"Erascu, come here." Major Anchorage called to the army's first pilot who had just flown.

After this Jan Irascu took off his flying cap, everyone said a handsome guy in their hearts. Edel just said in his heart that the version of Leonardo is still the big ship version.

The replica Leonardo said after walking up to Edel and bending over to salute. "I have seen Your Highness."

"Hello, Erascu. Major Anchorage has already mentioned you to me, and I hope you can make a greater contribution to the army."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will do better."

After Erascu stepped back, Edel spoke to the three. "This is the first practical aircraft in Romania, and I hope that more new aircraft will appear in Romania in the future."

"Your Highness."
