Chapter 857 Give Us Justice

To make such a large bomber fly, it must have a strong engine. Now, the engine they use is the Wright R-3350 engine. This 18-cylinder radial engine can already output 2,200 horsepower. , more than the 1,800 horsepower of the Atlantic airliner.

However, it is quite unstable.

In particular, this star-shaped engine has two rows in the front and rear, and the engine in the second row behind is more difficult to dissipate heat. Therefore, every test flight is accompanied by engine failures.

In just 23 test flights, they have changed 16 engines and have not solved the engine overheating problem.

Later, I don't know who has put forward an opinion, why not refer to the German design?

While American engineers were still struggling with the heat dissipation of the engines in the second row, 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. The Junker-290 is never exported, and only the Luftwaffe is a user.

However, there are also passenger planes of the same model! The Atlantic 1 passenger plane uses the same type of engine! At that time, in order to develop this engine, Hughes Company made a large sum of money. Later, the Atlantic 1 passenger plane became a joint production of Hughes Company and Hawke Company.

After several arrangements, these engineers finally saw the engine of Hughes' Atlantic 1 passenger plane. When they took apart the casing and saw the inside, they suddenly realized.

It turned out that German engineers solved it like this!

Since the heat dissipation in the second row is poor, then simply add a few air pipes outside, blow the wind directly to the second row, and force the heat dissipation, which simply solves the problem and makes everyone feel at ease.

When they got back, they arranged their engines in the same way, and just like that, the heat dissipation problem was solved.

After the test flight just now, it was confirmed that there is no problem at all!

This aircraft requires a high degree of confidentiality, so many of the test flights of the aircraft are carried out at night and only start after dark.

As for the reason for doing this, I am afraid it has something to do with that!

"Now, the new problem we face is to design a remote-controlled turret." said Captain Donald L-Pat of the Aviation Supplies Command, which also participated in the development of the aircraft: "Our bomber has to fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters. So, you have to remote control the turret to solve the problem.”

Ordinary bombers are turrets that are directly controlled by people. After all, people's reactions are the best.

However, an ordinary bomber is only a few kilometers in height, and 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 before Well, at such times, it is impossible to use an open, unsealed manned turret.

Therefore, the remote control turret is also a must.

The problem of the engine can be solved with the help of the Atlantic airliner's plan, but the plan of the turret can only be solved by themselves.

Hearing this, test pilot Allen also praised: "Yes, as long as the problem of the remote control turret is solved, this aircraft will have no problem passing the test."

After speaking, suddenly, he felt a pain in his stomach, what happened? Could it be that there was something wrong with the drink you drank when you landed?

After getting off the plane, he was a little thirsty, and the ground crew handed him a drink. He drank it without thinking. Now that he thinks about it, the ground crew seems to be a newcomer. Haven't seen it before?

The stomach was uncomfortable, so Ellen didn't think about it, he pulled his legs and ran out.

There is no toilet in this huge factory. If you want to go to the toilet, you can only go outside the factory, a few hundred meters away, and 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 fun.

When Alan stood up again, he felt that everything was easier. He lifted his pants and just wanted to walk back when suddenly, behind him, a big hand covered his mouth.

Who is kidding yourself? Just as Allen was about to turn his head, he felt a violent impact on the back of his head. His eyes were dim, and he immediately fell into a stupor.

He lost all consciousness and went into darkness.

It was built in the woods and opened up a large enough area. A very important reason is to hide it, but at the same time, it also makes defense more difficult.

If it is on the flat ground, a sentry can observe the surrounding area, but now, with so many woods, it is easy to be penetrated.

Such a factory has tens of thousands of employees, and it is impossible for everyone to know each other.

Now, just like that, there was an accident, Allen was quite important as Boeing's chief test pilot, and now, he's gone.

Half an hour later, the improvement suggestions for the aircraft were reached. When the crowd dispersed, it was discovered that Allen was not there. If the chief engineer did not want to continue to discuss with Allen, everyone else thought Allen was going back. Go to sleep!

As a result, it was discovered that Allen was gone, and he had been looking for Tianliang, but he was not found. The person in charge of the base felt bad and quickly reported to him.

Soon, an agent came with a dog and sniffed for a long time beside the dung outside. The dog chased it for a long time and lost track of it in a river five kilometers away from the factory.

The other party must have run away in a small boat.

Who did it, why did he kidnap Allen? He's just a test pilot!

"Crack." In a small wooden house, the light was on, and Aaron, who had recovered from a coma, gradually became clearer. In front of him were several men. At this time, every man had fierce eyes. of.

"I'm just a test pilot, what do you want? If you want money, please find a company. The company will pay a ransom for me. I think I'm worth at least fifty million dollars." Allen said first. .

As long as the company is found, the company will definitely save itself! Allen said so, in fact, he wanted the other party to report to him.

"Alan, we want to know that half a month ago, you flew 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 for a moment: "What bombing New York, isn't that what the Germans do? How do I know?"
