The Third Reich
Chapter 855: Give us a fair
To make such a large bomber fly, it must have a powerful engine. Now, the engine they use is the Wright R-3350 engine. This 18-cylinder star engine can output 2,200 horsepower. , Exceeding the 1,800 horsepower of the Atlantic airliner.
However, it is quite unstable.
In particular, this kind of star-shaped engine has two rows of front and rear, and the engine in the second row at the back has more difficult heat dissipation. Therefore, every test flight is accompanied by engine failure.
In just 23 test flights, they have replaced 16 engines, and they have not solved the problem of engine overheating.
Later, I don’t know who made suggestions, why not refer to the German design?
While American engineers were still having a headache for the heat dissipation of the second-row engine, the German aircraft had already solved these problems perfectly.
If you directly apply for a Junker-290 to Germany for research, it will definitely not work. Junker-290 is never exported, and only the German Air Force is the user.
However, there are passenger planes of the same model! The Atlantic No. 1 airliner uses the same type of engine! In that year, in order to develop this engine, the Seuss company made a large amount of money. Later, the Atlantic One passenger plane became a joint production of the Seuss company and the Hawker company.
After several arrangements, these engineers finally saw the engine of Hughes' Atlantic One airliner. When they opened the outer shell and saw the inside, they suddenly realized it.
It turned out that German engineers solved it like this!
Since the second row of heat dissipation is poor, just add a few air pipes outside and blow the wind directly to the second row to force heat to dissipate. Simply, the problem is solved and everyone is stunned.
After returning, they arranged their own engines in the same way, and in this way, the heat dissipation problem was solved.
After the test flight just now, it was confirmed that there was no problem at all!
This aircraft requires a high degree of confidentiality. Therefore, most of the test flights of the aircraft are carried out at night and only start after dark.
As for why this is done, I am afraid it is related to that matter!
"Now, the new problem we face is designing a remote control turret." Captain Donald L-Pat of the Aviation Equipment Command, which is also involved in the development of the aircraft, said: "Our bomber must often fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Therefore, it is necessary to remotely control the turret to solve the problem."
Ordinary bombers are directly manned turrets, after all, the human response is the best.
However, an ordinary bomber is only a few kilometers in height. This bomber often flies at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The temperature outside is minus 50 degrees, and the air pressure is also quite low. The pilot must sit in a pressurized cockpit. Yes, at this time, it is impossible to use an open, unsealed, manned turret.
Therefore, the remote control turret is a must.
For the engine problem, the Atlantic Airliner's plan can be used, but the turret plan can only be done by themselves.
Hearing this, test pilot Allen also admired: "Yes, as long as the problem of the remote control turret is solved, this aircraft will have no problem passing the test."
After speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, what's the matter? Could it be that there was a problem with the drink that was drunk when landing?
After getting off the plane, I was a little thirsty. As a result, the ground crew handed him a drink. Without thinking about it, he drank it all. Now thinking about it, the ground crew seems to be a newcomer. Haven't seen it before?
The stomach was uncomfortable, so Alan stopped thinking about it, so he ran out.
There is no toilet in this huge factory building. If you want to go to the toilet, you can only go outside the factory, a few hundred meters away. He probably can't wait.
Then, the usual method is to solve it in the grass outside.
Allen got into the dark grass, found a no man's land, opened his pants, and squatted down.
Then, it was refreshing.
When Allen stood up again, he felt that everything was relaxed. He lifted his pants and just wanted to walk back. Suddenly, behind him, a big hand covered his mouth.
Who is joking with yourself? As soon as Allen wanted to turn his head, he felt a violent impact on the back of his head, and his eyes were dizzy, and he immediately fell into a faint.
He lost all consciousness and entered the darkness.
It is built in the woods and opened up a large enough area. A very important reason is to keep it secret, but it also makes defense more difficult.
If it is on flat ground, a sentry can observe the surrounding area, but now, so many woods can easily be infiltrated.
With tens of thousands of employees in such a factory, it is impossible for everyone to know each other.
Now, just like this, there was an accident. As the chief test pilot of Boeing, Allen was very important, and now, he has disappeared.
Half an hour later, the improvement opinion for the aircraft was reached. When everyone dispersed, it was discovered that Alan was not there. If it was not for the chief engineer to continue discussing with Alan, everyone else thought Alan would go back. Sleeping!
As a result, it was discovered that Allen had disappeared. He had been found at dawn, but he had not been found. The person in charge of the base felt bad and hurried to report.
Soon, an agent came with a dog, and after sniffing for a long time beside the **** outside, the dog chased it for a long time until it reached a river five kilometers away from the factory and lost its trace.
The other party must have ran away in a small boat ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Who did it and why did he hijack Allen? He is just a test pilot!
"Hey." Inside a small wooden house, the light was on, and Allen, who had recovered from his coma, had a clear vision. In front of him, there were several men. At this time, every man had a fierce look. of.
"I'm just a test pilot. What do you want? If you want money, please find the company. The company will pay me a ransom. I think I'm worth at least 50 million US dollars." Allen said first. .
As long as the company is found, the company will definitely save itself! Allen said that, in fact, he wanted the other party to report to himself.
"Allen, we want to know that half a month ago, you drove the XB-29 bomber and bombed New York. We want you to give us justice." A man said, "We are all victims of this incident. Family members."
Hearing this, Allen was stunned: "What bombed New York, isn't that a German thing? How do I know?"
