450 Imperial Eagles 2
Then, the huge plane began to fly in the air again, and slightly pressed the nose of the plane and made a shallow dive action. This action was very small, and in the prince's opinion, it only slid about 50 meters. This action caused an exclamation from the audience next to them. In their opinion, this action was too exciting! Because of this action, the wings of the plane seemed to shake as a whole, and it seemed that they could not withstand huge stress. There was no way, the entire plane was wood, and there were no ribs inside the wings, just two boards, with wooden poles in the middle. The whole plane was still very fragile, after all, this was the first plane.
"I'll go, is this diving angle 20 degrees?" the prince said in his heart. However, he still asked the accompanying photographer to take a picture of the majestic posture of Flyer One.
"Can the plane's flight altitude look higher through certain means or shooting angles? It's faster? And the dives and turns must be taken well. Well," the prince asked the royal photographer next to him and said.
"Your wish, my responsibilities." The photographer began to adjust the lens and focal length without saying a word. There is no way, good wine is afraid of the deep alley. No matter how good things are, it is impossible not to hype them. Of course, these key information will naturally not be published to the public through newspapers and other means. In fact, today's experiments were carried out in an extremely secret environment, and even the design team members could not reveal their work to their families!
After half an hour of tossing in the air, Flyer One was about to land. Compared with the Wright brothers' planes, Voyager One would have a lot of trouble. There was no way, the horsepower was much larger, the landing speed increased, and the runway required a long side. Ryan needed to carefully control the angle of the plane. When the angle was larger, it would hit the ground directly. If the angle was too small, it would easily bounce up. He carefully controlled the speed of the plane. When the two wheels in front of the plane landed and slid steadily for a distance, he finally turned off the engine.
"Long live! We set a new record!" When the plane finally stopped at the end of the runway, everyone present cheered for the successful flight. The prince was also very happy. After all, this was a good start, and the Luftwaffe took a solid first step from then on!
"Baron Li Lintal, can the load on this plane be slightly increased?" the prince suddenly turned around and asked.
"Of course, this is OK. If the aircraft is larger, it will be fine to add 40 kilograms." Baron Li Linthal thought for a while and said. The large wing area makes the aircraft takeoff conditions very low, and the 50-horsepower engine power is no small. The engine power of the Folk D1 fighter that caused the Folk disaster back then was only 130 horsepower.
"Very good, Major General Schmidt, now you arrange a group immediately to design machine guns and small bombs that can be installed on the plane, and then install these weapons on the plane. Contact the photographer and take a picture of the plane's attack on the ground. The more shocking the better, you can use some extraordinary means." The prince turned around and ordered his military number one follower.
"There should be no problem with the machine gun, but I am still skeptical about the impact of the aircraft carrying weapons. We all know that the machine gun must be stable when firing, so we need to equip a tripod, and the plane itself is shaking and the speed is very fast (less than 100 kilometers is considered fast?). So I don't think how effective it is to install a machine gun on the aircraft."
"Secondly, as for bombs, I think that the current aircraft can not carry any heavier bombs except for carrying a few grenades or specially made mortar shells. After all, this aircraft weighs only more than 500 kilograms, and the load capacity is very limited, and it cannot be aimed at all. The hit can only look at God." Major General Schmidt frowned and thought for a while, and said truthfully.
"I support Major General Schmidt's opinion, not only because of aiming and shooting, but more importantly, the structure of the aircraft is still too brittle. It is not a big problem to add a machine gun to the seat position. However, if you want to load a bomb, you have to design a hanger, and the center of gravity of the entire aircraft must be readjusted. Moreover, when the aircraft drops the bomb, instantly reducing the weight will cause the aircraft to shake. This has a great impact on flight." After a while, Baron Li Linthal also objected to the prince's request.
"Brother, can you please stop being so serious? I said that you can use extraordinary means, why don't you understand?" The prince was so depressed. As a time traveler, how could the prince not understand that in this era, before the emergence of new sights and dive bombings, bombing hits almost depend on faith, and machine gun attacks basically rely on scare? But everything has to be done step by step, and in order to attract more attention and make Germany pay more attention to the role of aircraft, they also have to do some fakes when necessary! Why don't you understand?
"Use all the methods you can think of to highlight the practical value of the aircraft. You can even simulate bombing by burying bombing points on the ground. I understand what I said very clearly. Take all the attack actions through photos and then hand them over to me. As long as I am satisfied, all participants will double the year-end bonus!" As the future heir to the Bavarian Kingdom, the prince clearly said that he was going to make a fake. If you still don't know how to do it, the prince should consider setting up a film studio!
"This is a deception! We can't do this!" Baron Li Lintal frowned and whispered.
"But this is a very necessary lie." Baron Daimler next to him pulled Count Lilintal behind without saying a word. "Don't worry, we will definitely satisfy you. For the Kingdom of Bavaria and for the aviation industry of mankind, all means can be used." This made the prince feel a little sour. Although it was the truth, it was enough to say the cost so noble and great!
Daimler is indeed a worthy person who can become a business giant. The prince said so, ordering you to fake it and make you hype it. Daimler naturally cannot give up this opportunity, so he immediately took a picture of his chest and said that he would ensure that the task was completed. "We can even install a camera at a high place to shoot." Daimler promised.
"Your shameless look is very good as my demeanor!" The prince commented very pertinently.
If the aviation industry is to develop, it naturally needs to be beneficial. In this era, the development of aircraft is of no use for civilian use. If transportation and meteorological observation are not as useful as airships, even in the period of World War 1, there are few aircraft that can fly to the altitude of airships, let alone load capacity. So some exaggerated means are still needed!
