"This is also my proposal." Howard proudly said: "in the front, middle and rear of the aircraft, three fully enclosed pressurized cockpits are designed to blow air through the compressor to achieve the same pressure as the ground, so as to facilitate the aircraft to fly at high altitude. At the same time, we can also distinguish different prices. "

This is a large passenger plane! With Howard's introduction, Shrek boarded the airliner. You can see that the front is the most luxurious, and there are even carpets in it. The sides are surrounded by full leather, which is simply the most luxurious decoration!

According to Howard, the front space is a luxury suite for the rich. The middle and rear sections are business class and economy class respectively. Among them, economy class is the most shabby. For example, the seats are ordinary wooden. There is no cushion on them. At the same time, they are quite dense.

With current technology, it is impractical to build a large pressurized cabin, so Howard divided the plane into three sections.

Shrek nodded: "Howard, I'm so happy today. I see that our ideal is one step closer. In the future, it won't take more than half a month from America to Europe."

"Today is the last test flight to test the flight efficiency of only two engines. How about coming up to experience it?" Howard asked Shrek.

Four engines can give the aircraft sufficient power, and once one of the engines fails, the rest must be able to support the next flight.

Howard pointed to the cockpit in front. After the plane was built, Howard has been a test pilot. He likes flying.

Shrek shook his head. "Sorry, I'm afraid of heights."

Shrek doesn't have the time. The test flight of this kind of aircraft takes several hours at a time.

"Then I'll take off." Howard was very happy. He watched several people go down. The four person crew in front was ready. At the same time, two additional engine engineers came up.

The huge passenger plane, with four engines started at one time, taxied towards the runway in the roar. It was almost at the end of the runway before it pulled up and flew towards the sky.

Hilrick watched the plane leave. In his eyes, the plane was like a bomber that could fly across the ocean and blow up the United States at any time.

"General Shrek, I can tell you about the development of our bombers and transport aircraft." Came to EBAS' office, EBAS took out some drawings and showed them to hilrick.

Taking this airliner as the prototype, bombers and transport aircraft are steadily developing. Among them, transport aircraft is making the fastest progress, as long as the cabin is changed into cargo cabin.

Bombers need to prepare more. For example, they need to install various turrets to form a complete fire network. For example, they need advanced navigation and bombing equipment and additional reinforcement for the bomb cabin.

"Can our plane complete the round trip to the United States?" Asked Shrek.

Abbas shook his head: "now, the range of this airliner is 6000 kilometers, just enough one-way."

It's not so easy to get to and from the United States. The one-way distance is about 5000 kilometers. As long as you look at the data of some bombers during World War II, if they have a range of more than 6000 kilometers, they are absolute heavy strategic bombers.

If you want to go back and forth, it will take more than 10000!

In World War II, Germany has always attached importance to dive bombers. One is the problem of ideology and the other is the problem of resources. Now, these two problems are being solved by Chirac.

Due to Hitler's absolute trust, Chirac can easily promote his ideas. At the same time, with sufficient funds in terms of resources, Germany's war reserves are much better than in history.

The rest is technical.

And Howard jointly developed an airliner, as long as it flies one way. Excessive pursuit of round-trip has no effect. After all, you can refuel when you fly over and land.

"After changing to a bomber, we can remove the extra weight of the pressurized cockpit. At the same time, we can also use our wing fuel tank and other advanced technologies to increase the fuel load. We estimate that when we carry ten tons of bombs, we can reach a range of 7000 kilometers at most. No further distance is enough." Abbas said.

Shrek nodded and deliberately asked for such a long voyage. At least, when this bomber comes out, it will have a sharp weapon when attacking Britain! If you are close to Britain, you can carry more bombs!

As for the bombing of the United States, it will be in the future. It is not certain whether World War II can reach that stage.

"If we want to improve the range, maybe a new technology can be used." Abbas said: "it's air refueling. We take off two such large bombers, one loaded with bombs and the other loaded with fuel. When we fly to the middle of the Atlantic, the aircraft carrying fuel will refuel the aircraft carrying bombs in the air. In this way, we can greatly improve the range."

Aerial refueling! This technology is difficult in future generations because of the fast speed of jets. Now, this method has appeared for a long time.

As early as 1917, Russian Navy pilot Alexander seversky put forward the idea of aerial refueling.

In 1923, Captain l-h-smith of the U.S. Army aviation team used hose refueling technology to refuel a dh-4b aircraft, creating a record of 6 hours and 38 minutes of continuous empty flight, which is the first real air refueling in aviation history.

In 1929, through aerial refueling, American C-2A aircraft created the feat of flying in the air for a week.

Therefore, although this early refueling technology is complex and difficult to promote and develop, it is at least possible.

"This technology can be popularized." "Now, we can start the experiment," said Shrek

If we can really come up with a simple and effective scheme, it is indeed a multiplier of combat power. Those short legged BF109 can easily fly over London.

Xierik simply gave instructions. After all, now he is only in the name of the equipment department. He has a lot of affairs. This time, in addition to seeing the big plane, xierik is most concerned about one thing.

On the selection of small caliber intermediate power rifle bullets, after repeated comparative tests, heinel company has come up with the final opinion, which needs someone to make a decision.

Xierik's trip to Germany was quite tense. At the same time, xierik was also very relieved. After Himmler's accident, xierik finally put down a heart disease. In a short time, no one will come to find his own trouble, and there is no need to worry about the black hand behind him.
