494 Air Transport Aircraft 0
In order not to provoke the world's air revolution, the government had to raise black cafes. Although spies from various countries have captured some news in China, the Chinese government did not admit that they had no choice. According to the official report of China, there is structural problems in the Chinese Air Force fighter jets, and experts are working on the problem, but the results are not good. The test aircraft has repeatedly suffered structural damage, and the prospects for air fighters are not optimistic.
The Information Office of the Imperial Qin Government and major Chinese media have reported that the Chinese Air Force gave up the development of the fighter jet project. The fighter jet project was expensive. The Imperial Qin Government was unwilling to spend money in vain. At the same time, the Imperial Qin Government followed the provisions of the Hague International Treaty, implemented the air control regulations and stopped launching large-scale air throwing weapons. In order to prove to the world that China is harmonious, the Chinese government canceled the airship production line, and the active airship troops were laid off and converted to civilian use. At the same time, the Imperial Qin Navy's warships did not install anti-aircraft guns, for fear of causing the navies of various countries to follow.
Although the great powers were half-believing and half-doubted, the Hague International Treaty stipulated that airborne vehicles should not be used to attack other countries. Although the great powers did not take this clause seriously, the airship war in the Sino-Russian War had already given them a reminder that this kind of thing was useless to the belligerent countries, but it was just a product of peacetime. However, the Imperial and Qin government laid off the airship troops, which made all countries feel much more at ease. After all, the Imperial and Qin government still calmed the people of all countries on the surface.
The airship unit of the Imperial Qin Royal Air Force had a brilliant record in the Sino-Russian War. Although China vigorously promoted its economy in order to create a harmonious international environment, the airship unit was abolished. However, countries did not stop researching and opening airships.
When China's airship production lines were converted into equipment, countries used civilian excuses to introduce China's advanced airship production lines and technologies to build their own airship forces.
In this era, people did not know how to use world public opinion to induce it, but Zhang Yunfei, later generations, had a thorough understanding of this. Under Zhang Yunfei's deliberate arrangement, the Emperor and Qin government successfully induced the direction of world public opinion, and brought the world's aviation industry back to its previous state, leading to the air force of various countries' focus on airships and reconnaissance aircraft. Of course, some people were curious and studied the use of weapons to reconnaissance aircraft, but overall, the development of world aviation industry was slow.
However, other countries are slow to develop, but not China. Zhang Yunfei knew that later generations of aircraft and air supremacy were one of the key conditions for victory in the war. In this era, aircraft would be invincible as if they had drunk invincible potion.
Therefore, Zhang Yunfei told the Air Force Minister Feng Ru about all the types of aircraft he could think of, and asked Feng Ru to lead the Air Force Department to carry out a series of research and experiments.
First, there is the bomber. According to Huang Mingqiu's idea of using reconnaissance aircraft to mount torpedoes and attack Russian warships, the Air Force Department designed and launched a small bomber.
Boom, type bomber, the Emperor Qin Air Force was very bold at the beginning of design, and the wingspan of the aircraft was extended to the height of the meter and the height of the meter.
Although such a big man is incomparable to later bombers, less than ten years after this plane was born, such a huge aerial carrier was actually created by humans.
Zhang Yunfei only said that this kind of large aircraft could fly, but Zhang Yunfei didn't know how to fly! Therefore, the Chinese Air Force fighter pilots boldly built it with their immense trust in the leader.
Bombers were not so easy to fly, and the workers built a large void that specially created airflows to test aircraft flight data.
Then the data basically came, and the prototype began to be built. Because the aircraft was too large, the original single propeller was no longer under the weight. Therefore, the Hongxiao changed to a dual aviation motor, providing power and power.
The test flight was as long as two years. It was mainly the first time that such a large aircraft was actually tested. China Airlines pilots had no experience and everything was being explored.
Test flights are full of thrills and terror. Because bombers are not as small as fighter jets or reconnaissance aircraft, and their degree is slow. Even if they fail to land urgently, the probability of personnel surviving is quite high. The degree of bombers is greatly improved. If a man falls off, the plane will be destroyed and the person will die, and there will be no chance of survival.
During the test flight of the first and second test flights, thirty-three outstanding air force pilots were killed, and seventeen prototypes were damaged, becoming the largest air crash in the history of the Imperial Qin Royal Air Force. However, because of the requirement of confidentiality, it was not until fifty years later that the Royal Air Force lifted the confidential documents year by year that the world knew how much the pioneers of the bomber paid.
The huge loss of the air crash made Zhang Yunfei once think that China would not drive the bomber too early! But when the state sounded, bombers appeared in the world in 2018, and it was the poorest Russians. Now it is already a year. With the dominant position of China's aviation and advanced technology, there is no reason to overcome the difficulties! So Zhang Yunfei made up his mind and even visited the test flight site several times to express condolences to scientific researchers and test pilots.
Zhang Yunfei's imperial guards came in person, bringing the most cordial care and greetings, which made everyone responsible for the project excited.
People often do this. Many things seem to be unable to complete, but when they encounter a strong will, they will burst out with strong potential. Under Zhang Yunfei's personal inquiries, the scientific researchers and test pilots were aroused to have strong fighting spirit and confidence in winning. After several arguments and verifications, China's first real bomber finally passed the final test flight successfully!
Boom, short-range light bomber, cabin designed for five people, pilot lieutenant, deputy pilot second-level warrant officer, ten commander of the branch steward, ten commander of the bomber, Dan wire pilot quasi-pulse,
The bomber is designed as a light short-range bomber with a cruise range of 10,000 kilometers per hour, a maximum of 1,000 meters per hour. The range is 1,000 kilometers, a wing surface area blade, 3 meters, an empty load weight, a full load weight:, a clever tons, and a maximum take-off weight old tons.
The overall layout fully inherits the excellent aerodynamic appearance of the Black Hawk Four fighter. The designers are mysteriously pursuing the most complete aerodynamic characteristics, using a streamlined fuselage and an elliptical plane wing and tail wing with four sinks in the rear edge of the wing root. A pair of water-cooled piston motors are symmetrically installed on the cantilever backward single wing. Because the wing spar passes through the fuselage floor, it causes inconvenience to the setting of the bomb bay. Therefore, two rows of 8 bomb boxes were arranged between the beams, and one high-explosive bomb that weighs only kilograms perpendicularly. The power of the bomb is equivalent to the destructive power of a millimeter shell. It is loaded with Black Sorkin high-explosive mother bombs, which is amazingly lethal.
After passing the inspection of the Air Force, he can officially serve the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Empire, but considering the current international environment, Zhang Yunfei did not approve mass production.
The Royal Air Force of China is so eager to see! Such a good weapon can only be seen, but can't touch it, and I feel itchy. With the graduation of a large number of pilots from the Air Force Academy, the Royal Air Force's team has grown from more than 300 people in the year to more than 5,000 excellent pilots in that year. However, their fate is the same as the 6th Army and the Navy. The dragon must be coiled first, the tiger must be lying first, and the insect "pulled in the butt, get out! The Chinese team will not accept bad soldiers!
We can only fly trainers and reconnaissance aircraft every day, and occasionally it is our turn to go to the secret base to test flights of new fighters and bombers. The Air Force is serving more and more soldiers, but there are only a dozen real fighter and bombers. It will take several months to wait for it.
The officers did not dare to complain to Zhang Yunfei, but they joined Air Force Minister Feng Ru and Air Force Commander Xue Muhua. Every day, groups of officers visited the two Air Force anti-troop men in various names, demanding the addition of air force fighter jets.
Xue Muhua naturally hopes that his air force will grow, and that the sky on earth is full of Chinese fighter jets flying everywhere! However, he knows that China is currently keeping a low profile and not exposes military strength and supports His Majesty the Emperor's decision. However, he is the commander of the Air Force and cannot show disregard for his subordinates. Because one soldier is a bellow and a bellower is a nest. If Xue Muhua does not support his subordinates' ideas, then the soldier will not be able to be brought and will also hit the morale of the Air Force.
Therefore, Xue Muhua had to express his support for the officers' ideas. In this way, Feng Ru was left. Feng Ru was not a soldier and could not stand the collective gaze of the soldiers. In less than half a year, he was defeated. So he had to bite the bullet and run to Zhang Yunfei to complain.
In the study in the south of the Forbidden City, Zhang Yunfei sat behind the imperial desk and reviewed the memorials. Feng Ru stood honestly a few meters away, looking at her nose, her nose, and her head drooped, as if she was hit by frost.
After a long time, after Zhang Yunfei finished processing a bunch of memorials, he looked up and saw that Feng Ru was still standing there.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Feng Ru hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's more comfortable for me to stand here. When I return to the headquarters, I have to face the pitiful eyes of a large group of officers! I can't stand it anymore!"
Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "You are the Air Force Minister, just knock them away! If it really doesn't work, just ask Xue Muhua to help!"
Feng Ru smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, Xue Muhua and those officers are venting their anger!"
Zhang Yunfei looked up, looked at Feng Ru, and said, "You ask them to come to me, and they will tell me directly if they have any requests."
Feng Ru replied: "Your Majesty is joking, how dare they come to you! I have told them many times, but it's useless!"
Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "This means they are bullying you! Is that so great? Pass on my oral orders and harass you in everything. Keep it closed!"
Feng Ru hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not their fault! Nowadays, there are more and more officers and soldiers in the Air Force. It is far from enough to let them fly train planes and reconnaissance planes every day!"
"Oh." Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "That's it that I'm blamed?"
"I dare not!" Feng Ru bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that."
Zhang Yunfei just said this on purpose. When he saw Feng Ru's appearance, he knew that his ears were soft and could not withstand the instigation of the officers, so he ran to Zhang Yunfei and was scolded.
"Why are you kidding? Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "No need to be afraid!"
If you are not afraid, you will see a ghost! Feng Ru said in his heart: It’s better to be careful if you are with the king.
Seeing that Feng Ru didn't say anything, Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "You should have an idea!"
Feng Ru looked up in surprise and asked, "How did Your Majesty know?
Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "I can see through your thoughts, so I am the emperor. You can't see through my thoughts, so you can only be a minister!"
Feng Ru replied: "Your Majesty is wise, but it is hard for me to compare with one in ten thousand!"
He continued: "Your Majesty, I have an idea that I can not only appease the air force officers and soldiers, but also avoid attracting the attention of the great powers."
Zhang Yunfei said: "Tell me!"
"Yes!" Feng Ru said: "Your Majesty, there are train transportation materials and personnel on the ground, and ship transportation materials and personnel in rivers, lakes and seas. So why not create aircraft for transporting materials and personnel in the air?"
Zhang Yunfei asked in surprise: "You want to build a transport aircraft?"
Feng Ru nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise! I have this idea! Our bomber has already taken over five tons of ammunition. If the weapon mount box is removed, the aircraft with tons of goods and personnel can be easily transformed! This is what Your Majesty calls the transport plane!"
Zhang Yunfei nodded and said, "That's right, it's completely feasible to change the bomber into a transport plane!"
Feng knew: "Our large-scale construction of bombers will inevitably attract the attention of the great powers and thus affect the external peaceful environment of the empire. However, if we produce a large number of transport aircraft, form a huge air service company, and engage in the air transportation service industry, it will not cause military considerations of the great powers! At the same time, the pilots of the empire can fly transport aircraft to the sky, observe the situation around the world, and contribute to the future when the empire needs it. Once war occurs, a large number of transport aircraft can easily change back to the original appearance of the bomber, and at the same time save the production and construction cycle and make the air force profitable."
"Good idea!" Zhang Yunfei said happily: "Let the Air Force hide in the transportation company to achieve the purpose of training and make profits! The most important thing is that once there is a war, you can participate in the war at any time!"
Zhang Yunfei nodded frequently. Shi Feng Ru was very satisfied with the plan, and then discussed some details. Zhang Yunfei was very satisfied with the plan and approved it.
The next day, Zhang Yunfei issued an order to establish Imperial Airlines and work with the Cabinet General Staff to formulate execution procedures and build the world's first air transport team.
Subsequently, the Air Force modified the bomber, short-range light bomber, and after dismantling the weapon load, the aircraft's range and degree increased, and the load capacity reached eight tons, which was close to the level of medium-sized bombers.
The cabinet General Staff called this type of bomber a Galaxy Transporter. The Galaxy Transporter can carry eight tons of cargo or be converted into an Airbus. The crew depends on the range. If the range is short, the number of crew will be more, and if the range is long, the number of people will be less. Five Galaxy Transporter production lines are opened. The annual output is expected to be aided.
With the massive coverage of the Chinese media's announcement of the establishment of China's Air Tourism Transportation Company, the eyes of the world have been attracted to China again.
Human beings dream of swimming in the sky. Although there are planes in Mao Jing, they are all from all sides and are not open to the common people. Now China has established this air travel transportation company to serve the people, making people's wishes possible.
At the end of the year, with the completion of the construction of civil aviation airports in Beijing and Shanghai, the first civil route in China was opened, with the route from Beijing to Shanghai.
Although the weather is cold, people are still around Beijing and Shanghai airports. People from China and foreign countries come here to watch the takeoff and landing of the Airbus.
On the morning of the 3rd of the 3rd of the Kou-Monday, Imperial Airlines' first Galaxy passenger plane took off and carried tens of thousands of passengers to Shanghai. Originally, it was possible to carry some passengers from Beijing to Shanghai, but considering the first passenger flight, many people were afraid and dared not take it. Tens of thousands of passengers were constantly giving themselves courage before boarding the plane.
After three hours of flight, the first civil aviation passenger plane was safe at Shanghai Civil Aviation Airport. After twenty-five Beijing passengers got off the plane incredibly, thunderous applause and cheers came to both sides of the airport runway.
After the first batch of passengers flew safely, the plane taken off at Shanghai Airport flew to Beijing Airport safely with ugly passengers. The welcome scene was extremely huge, and people finally believed that they could fulfill their dream of swimming in the sky.
Then, Imperial Airlines announced that it would experience the fun of flying for one week for free. As soon as the news was announced, the service halls of Beijing and Shanghai airports were crowded, and nearly 50,000 people signed up on the first day. There were too many people, Imperial Airlines had to promise that after the test flight time, the single ticket price would be around 50 yuan dragon coins, so that people would not have to worry.
The fifty-yuan dragon coin sounds very productive, but for the purchasing power of the Emperor Qinlong coin today, fifty-yuan can allow ordinary families to live a year of carefree life! Therefore, taking a plane is still ridiculously expensive and cannot afford to consume by ordinary people.
Aircraft are originally for business services. Especially for merchants who have made strict requirements on the transportation time of cargo, although the transportation cost of aircraft is high, it is worth the money for them.
The next day, Imperial Airlines received a cooperation contract from major merchants at home and abroad, and asked to consign goods for their company. Some foreign merchants even directly proposed to purchase Chinese Galaxy Transportation Planes.
However, Chinese airlines, which have seen the huge commercial profits of the air transport industry, will naturally not give up the "plane" that lays eggs to others. In this era, everything must be cut off.
To this end, the Aviation Control Center of the Diqin Government stated that China currently needs a large number of transport aircraft to ensure China's transportation industry. At present, China's Galaxy transport aircraft production capacity is limited and it is not exported to the outside world during the test stage.
These foreign merchants did not give up because they failed to buy the plane and asked China to open overseas routes to provide transportation services to the whole world.
In this regard, the Diqin government was naturally very happy. It ordered airlines to open routes in countries around the world and assumed the responsibility of the world's air coachman. At the same time, considering that the transportation tonnage of the Galaxy Transporter was still too large, it ordered multiple production lines to increase the output of the Galaxy Transporter to every year. At the same time, it was required that the Air Force Department speed up the upgrade of medium-sized or large transport aircraft.
In this way, the Chinese Air Force not only controls routes around the world and monopolizes huge air profits, but also can detect and understand the situation of various countries through transportation services, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
