Chapter 894 ME262 Serves

Messerschmitt aircraft assembly plant in Augsburg, Germany.

A peculiarly shaped aircraft appeared at the end of the production line. At this time, a lot of people had gathered here, including the top executives of Germany and the Air Force.

Cyric stood in front of the plane, and at this moment, a big red flower was pulled up on the plane. Under the illumination of the lights, the aircraft with aluminum alloy skin gleamed.

If compared with other aircraft, the biggest feature of this aircraft is that there is no propeller!

Since the invention of the airplane, the propeller has been a necessary equipment. The propeller stirs the air and blows backwards to obtain forward momentum. This has been deeply ingrained in everyone's impression.

However, times are constantly changing, technology is constantly innovating, and as the speed of the aircraft continues to increase, the propeller will eventually become a stumbling block on the way forward.

It will bring more resistance. The current propeller plane has developed to the extreme, and the speed cannot be increased any more. The tip of the propeller has encountered a huge problem called the sound barrier.

If you want to continue to improve, you must improve new solutions, this is the jet!

After a long test flight in Libya, finally, Messerschmitt's latest fighter has passed various approvals and started mass production. Now, it is the off-line ceremony of the first ME262 fighter!

After BF109, Messerschmitt was unknown, and has been at a disadvantage in the competition with FW190, so that even the Air Force has reduced its order for BF109. Only people who know the insider know that Messerschmitt is accumulating money , now, it's time for results!

Professor Willie Messerschmitt was even more excited today. He was wearing a woolen uniform with a sleeve of a swastika logo on his arm. At this time, he looked at the factory fighter jet, Just like his child.

How many times of repeated revisions did it finally get the approval of the military, the approval of the head of state, and finally start production? This will be a fighter that will completely change the situation of air combat!

"Today, we have a great moment." Cyric stood in front of the plane and started his speech.

"When all countries were still using biplanes, we were already using monoplanes, and when they were still making wooden planes, we were already using aluminum alloys. And today, we are at the forefront of the world. , while they were still chasing our speed in prop planes, we had used jet fighters!"

"Higher and faster are the goals pursued by every aircraft designer and every pilot. Propeller aircraft will eventually become obsolete, and the future belongs to the jet age!" Cyric was extremely sure of his own aircraft: "Now, as the first aircraft rolls off the assembly line, our newly formed test wing will have the most experienced pilots to master its flight and formulate a combat plan. At the same time, the later fighter brigade will gradually change. Load the jets!"

"It's not just fighter jets. In the future, we will also have jet bombers and transport aircraft. Our technology is the most advanced in this era. No enemy can stop the expansion of our Third Reich!" Cyric's last words were sonorous. powerful.

Everyone present applauded, and they admired Cyric, the man who single-handedly built the European empire.

In the eyes of everyone, Adolf Garland, the director of the Luftwaffe fighter unit, put on a full set of flying gear and was ready to personally fly this advanced jet, taking off from the runway outside the factory and flying directly to the air force base.

The fighter plane was slowly towed to the outside runway. With the help of the ground power supply vehicle, the engines on both sides were started. In the rumbling sound, the two engines hanging from the wings were started in turn, and a fiery tail emerged from the tail. Smoke, like a torch, the fighter plane accelerated on the runway and flew into the sky with agile attitude.

"It's as light as a swallow." Cyric sighed.

Cyric didn't know, but his own words gave the aircraft a nickname. In the flight force, everyone used to call it Swallow.

This is a new beginning!

Watching the fighter planes fly away, Cyric and his group walked to the conference room in the adjacent office area. This time, Cyric came here to inspect. The first project was to participate in the offline and first flight ceremony. The second, is to hold this meeting.

"Now, we have made a breakthrough in the jet, but we still have a long way to go, we are only the beginning in the field of jet." Cyric said.

Cyric's words won everyone's approval, and it is true, the jet, there are many imperfections.

"First of all, it is the engine, which requires our technicians to continue to work hard to improve the performance of the engine, especially the life of the engine." No matter it is a fighter of any era, the first problem is the engine!

The current ME262 uses the Junkers Jumo 004. After continuous improvement, this engine has a lifespan of 100 hours. After all, it is different from the later Germany. Now they are not limited by raw materials, as long as they can be used, can go up.

Even this is not enough. After all, for fighter jets, it is necessary to fly into the air frequently. If it is calculated for 5 hours a day, if it can't be used for even a month, the engine has to be replaced.

You know, the life of a piston engine is often thousands of hours.

"Yes, our engine performance is still very poor, we will continue to work hard." Dr. Anselm of Junkers, the chief designer in charge of the jet project, he knew the defects of his own engine, the head of Cyric Exactly.

However, he did not expect that the next words of President Cyric would be incomparably professional.

"Our design department can absorb British engine designers with reliable ideas and gather all the forces, so that maybe more sparks can be collided." Cyric said.

After all, the United Kingdom is an old industrial country with a deep heritage. In fact, their jet engines have been developed a long time ago.

The key figures in British jet engines, officer Frank Whittle, and Dr. A?A? Griffiths of Liverpool University are all important figures. Thanks to Reinhardt's efforts, these people did not leave the UK.

Even if they do not cooperate, their design materials and their prototypes cannot be taken away, which will give Germany more inspiration.

What Cyric pointed out, must not be wrong!
