Chapter 321

The test flight was successful...?

The "11" experimental fighter with a pneumatic appearance, which looks like a large ice tin, is running back and forth quickly in the sky. The thin single wing is strikingly red sun painted on both sides is clearly visible from the field of view of the telescope below, listening to the speed measurement.

As the personnel shouted, a fanatical light appeared on Yamamoto Iroku's face!.

"Yehe! This is the good thing we need!" He waved his fist vigorously and shouted with a high spirit, "If we had it a year earlier, maybe we had already wiped out that hateful Chinese! The honor of the Imperial Navy is to be

Recover early!”

"Yes! At least you don't have to sneer at the Army guys! Mitsubishi did a good job this time!" Takijiro Oshiki agreed.

The group of naval generals next to them all admired it. The biplane with a speed of about 300 kilometers per hour is very different from this lightweight guy like a bullet. The whistling sounded full of

With the feeling of strength, I believe that it must be heroic when fighting!

A little further away, the relevant personnel of Mitsubishi Company gathered together were not so optimistic at all. Every time they saw the fighter plane maneuvering, Jiro Hiroshiro first twitched his heart, and his hands were involuntarily tightened, and his atmosphere was

I didn't dare to take a breath, my eyes widened and stared at me, for fear of any unexpected changes.

Hattori asked the sub-section chief to notice his nervous appearance, leaned over and patted his shoulder gently, and whispered: "Don't worry, Mr. Ritsuki, our fighter jet should be able to hold on."

His voice didn't sound so confident in Hiroyuki. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head slightly: "You can't rest assured, Section Chief! We are really too risky this time, and the real battle will be more intense.

The action is not safe!"

Can he not worry? In order to meet the almost unreasonable indicator requirements of those guys in the Navy, he chose to compromise to the greatest extent without any help. Because of the bulkiness of the "Venus Three" engine, the fuselage had to be slightly extended, and

Weight loss as much as possible on structures such as skeletons and skins, wings and landing gears is actually saving materials. The result of repeated tests is to provide the minimum weight by rubbing the edges of the strength limit, and there is almost no margin.

In order to ensure the speed exceeds 500 kilometers, the two wings have to be made thin and narrow, and the swept angle is increased, but this sacrifices flexibility and low-speed performance. If the pilot's technology is not enough, it is very likely to lose control when encountering a complex airflow environment.

, there is no need to think about strength or something. If the movements in the battle are too violent and the wings are broken, the tragedy may also happen.

"Maybe, the type we use Nakajima engine is better. At least they weigh 200 kilograms and are smaller in size. Relatively speaking, the strength of the body is more guaranteed." Hiroyuki Jiro still felt that this

Too risky, and another modification that has not been taken out is more suitable.

They made two improved models at the same time, using different engines. The power of the Zhongdao engine is slightly lower, but it is small in size and light in weight. It can barely reach a speed of 500 kilometers. The wing strength should be slightly higher, at least for high speed

When fighting in a turning point, you don’t have to worry about the fuselage problems.

But Junji Fukao was not very happy when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "As long as our engine is qualified, it's good! Nakajima's things will be a little worse after all! After some time, we are confident that we can achieve 1,000

The level of horsepower, at that time, even if the fuselage was larger and stronger, there was no problem!"

Why use other people’s things for your own? Nakajima’s is nothing more than making them smaller, but don’t forget that the engine needs reliability in addition to power! Nakajima’s supercharge technology has been used for a long time

Reliability cannot be guaranteed, and long-term combat will definitely not be able to support it. Calculate the cost will be much higher.

The key is that if you use your own engine, then all the credit will be theirs. If you change to Nakajima, the engine research department headed by Junji Fukao will continue to be sneered by others! He will definitely not be able to do this.

Tolerates it!

Jiro Hiroyuki clearly felt the coldness on his body, so he stopped saying anything. After all, whether it was successful or not depends on the military's judgment.

At high altitude, the pilot Sato was sweating all over, his nervous joints were stiff, and he grabbed the joystick with both hands, and did not dare to blink his eyelids. As a senior test pilot, he clearly judged that the carrot-like guy under his butt was definitely not.

The designer said it perfectly, and the engine's movement didn't sound pleasant at all. I was worried about when the cylinder exploded!

The fuselage is too thin! He even suspected that he could make a hole with one punch, and there was no protection at all on the upper and lower sides of the seat, and he could punch it with a pistol! If he was involved in combat like this, he could only pray that he would not be shot, otherwise

The pilot was flying naked. As for the open cockpit, it was nothing.

According to the following requirements, he pushed the fighter plane to dive and pulled the trigger towards the huge target. The two 20mm Erickon machine guns installed in front of him were violently vibrating and roaring. Two long shots were shot out, and the wooden target below suddenly

The flames splattered into the sky, and they looked spectacular, with powerful firepower!

The navy guys below were full of blood, and they wanted to replace him and sweep the enemy wildly. But Sato noticed that when the fire was opened, the semi-buried gun body was vibrating very severely and the firing time was slightly longer.

One point, the metal structure around the barrel was obviously deformed, and the moment he was diving, he heard the fuselage skeleton and the two wings moaning, as if it was about to break at any time! He couldn't bear it.

I was so scared!

No wonder reinforced steel wire is added! Such structural strength is really not reassuring - this is still a high-quality aluminum alloy imported from Germany! If it is made from domestic ones, it is already broken up now, right?

Unfortunately, the people below couldn't see these situations. When he arrived at the near exhaustion, he tried to pretend to be a smile and gave a thumbs up at the officers who were applauding and said nothing - in fact, he was afraid of it.

I couldn't help vomiting when I opened my mouth!

Yamamoto Iroku walked forward with a smile, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and exclaimed: "Thank you for your hard work! It's a good job!"

Sato shook his body, stood up hard and saluted him. When he turned to look beside him, a group of Mitsubishi senior executives stared at him with stern eyes, and immediately understood what to say, and turned his face and said in a solemn way: "Report to the Commander!

The performance of this type of aircraft basically meets your combat requirements!”

"Okay! Very good!" Yamamoto Iroku was very happy just now, and punched him hard again, walked to the fighter plane with his hands behind his back to observe carefully, and saw the streamlined machine with almost no sudden flaws from beginning to end.

The body is full of Yamato national aesthetic characteristics, and it is absolutely in line with the details of smallness, exquisiteness, elegance and flexibility. He nodded at Hattori Rou and others, "This time, Mitsubishi Company did not disappoint!"

Hattori Yoshiji signaled Hiroyuki Jiro and others to drag Sato to the back and said respectfully: "Thank you, Commander, for your appreciation! It is our honor to be satisfied with you and the Navy!"

Yamamoto Iroku had no doubts about him and said firmly: "Be sure to conduct more tests as soon as possible, and then produce them as much as possible and equip them on our warships! Now, the Imperial Navy is waiting for our new fighter jets.

It's here!"

After nearly a year of intense efforts, most of the navy ships have been modernized and greatly increased anti-aircraft artillery, which is much stronger than the simple appearances before. Only the aircraft carrier is empty and the speed is seriously insufficient.

The old biplane was almost embarrassed to pull it out to meet people.

After a year of holding it in, the Navy could not raise its head, but the Army made progress again and again. Just recently, news came from the General Staff Headquarters that they boldly planned "Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Chahar, Suiyuan.

"The "Five Provinces Defense and Common Autonomous Movement" has made great progress and it is very likely that it will directly or indirectly control the huge area of ​​North China.

By then, the empire will have a huge market of more than 100 million people, and the army can be stationed at will in the Pingjin area at will, in fact, occupying a strategic advantage. Once it is fully prepared, it will be extremely convenient to launch a comprehensive war of conquest. It will consume most of the finances.

The Navy has no ingenuity to make progress. Not to mention that the Navy Department cannot raise its head in full, even the activities of patrolling the coastal areas of China and the Yangtze River waterways have been greatly compressed, which is simply a shame!

No matter what others think, Yamamoto stubbornly believes that the key to the navy's victory lies in the aviation force. As long as there are powerful fighter jets that completely overwhelm the Chinese air force advantage, the initiative in the war will be completely in hand.

Only then can the Navy be truly proud! That is the time to realize its lifelong ambitions!

Today, the successful test flight of the fighter jet is a great milestone. When all high-speed fighters are used to control the sky, the opportunity to make unparalleled achievements will come!

Yamamoto Iroku, who was warm in his head, didn't see the strangeness of the guys from Mitsubishi. With the other party's confidence and promised, he left with a refreshing heart.

When there were no idle people waiting at the scene, Hattori asked, "How is it like? Can it meet the requirements of the Navy?"

Sato shook his head in embarrassment. He could only choose the party who paid his salary. To be honest, "Not optimistic! If you do violent maneuvers for a long time, the fuselage may not be able to support it. In addition, the stability and accuracy of the machine gun

The degree needs to be improved, the vibration is too high during launch; the low-altitude performance is still OK, but the climb rate is insufficient, and the working limit of the engine may be shorter than the design..."

Balabara has a lot of problems, and the faces of the designers are getting ugly. But what can I do? The navy is urging so tightly that I can't give up this opportunity, right? Besides, the company has invested so much money,

If they don’t make achievements, they may be kicked out. On the other hand, if they can get huge orders from the Navy, then they are all heroes! It is inevitable to win both fame and fortune!

Hattori asked Ji to flash his eyes, his expression changed several times, and finally waved his hand firmly: "Okay, I understand! Submit the test report as soon as possible, and make sure to improve as much as possible before the naval test pilot arrives! We are absolutely sure

You can't lose this opportunity!"

"Hi!" Hietsujijiro, Fukao Junji and others looked at each other and saw the complex emotions hidden in each other's eyes.
Chapter completed!
