Any kind of technology can not always be leading, so it must be improved continuously, and the same is true for Atlantic airliner.

At first, after the development of the Atlantic airliner, it became the only airliner that could fly across the ocean without stopping. This airliner had advanced performance and immediately opened up a cross ocean route.

Hughes also made a lot of money.

However, other airlines, of course, are not backward. Now that many companies have plans to develop such aircraft, then, as the company wants to keep its advanced nature, it is natural to have new aircraft plans.

Hughes company has always cooperated with junks company. Atlantic one is their masterpiece. Now, Howard is about to inspect Atlantic two cargo plane.

In addition to transporting passengers, transporting goods is also an important aspect. After all, some goods want to be transshipped as soon as possible, which is also the original intention of the postal plane.

This aircraft is not simply modified on the basis of Atlantic No. 1 passenger plane. The important body is almost newly developed.

For cargo aircraft, we must find ways to increase the volume of the cargo hold, especially the width and height, so as to carry out the transportation of large pieces.

When Howard came to the company, he saw a large cargo plane on the runway, preparing to take off.

This aircraft is completely developed in accordance with the needs of freight transportation. The fuselage is very wide. It seems that there is no problem inserting several trucks in it. Moreover, the hatch at the tail is opened downward and can be used as an inclined plane for unloading. These are of cross era significance.

Four engines were rumbling to take off from the runway. When Howard's car wanted to keep approaching, it was stopped by a guard.

"Graf? Is the head of state sirik there? " Howard asked excitedly. He didn't expect to meet the captain of the Fuehrer's guard here.

"The Fuehrer is ahead." After seeing Howard, Graff also expressed his friendship, checked Howard and let him go.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sheikh." Howard ran to Shrek, stood beside him and said.

"Well, Howard, just in time. Let's take a look at our cargo plane. This time we're going to conduct an important experiment. " Said Shrek.

On the runway, this specially modified cargo aircraft was built in full accordance with the requirements put forward by the German military. For example, the load capacity is ten tons, which can be stuffed into an amphibious tank. Now, in the cargo warehouse of this cargo aircraft, there is a large oil tank!

Sitting on the pony next to hilrick, Howard watched the cargo plane take off slowly. With the improvement of technology, the engines on both sides have been increased to 1800 horsepower, and even have the ability to further increase to 2100 horsepower. However, the plane is still slowly pulling up almost until the end of the runway.

In addition to the heavy load, the increase of wind resistance due to the rough shape is of great concern.

Watching the plane take off slowly, Howard couldn't help saying, "it seems that four engines are no longer suitable. I think we can insert a section inside the wing of the aircraft and add two to become six engines, which is more suitable."

Howard's words made the air force commander Richthofen nervous. Howard was a genius. His idea was actually a project being secretly studied by junkers company, code named junker-390!

After all, the power of propeller engine is limited. If you increase the power, the heat dissipation problem is not easy to solve. Therefore, increasing the number of engines is a good way. After calculation, add two more, and the load capacity of the aircraft can be increased to the order of 20 tons!

At the same time, the flight range of the aircraft will also be greatly increased. Such a junker-390 will meet the important task of traveling between Europe and the United States.

With the deterioration of the relationship between the United States and Germany, this project did not tell Hughes that it was a self-developed project of junks.

"Howard, you have a good idea." "Now, there are a lot of large aircraft developed in the United States," said Shrek

Howard nodded as like as two peas. "Yes, especially Boeing, they are developing an airliner, almost identical to our the Atlantic one. We also planned to sue them on patents, but they were rejected. "

The Boeing Company? The last incident, the sneak attack of German bombers on New York, suddenly appeared in hilrick's mind.

At that time, all eyewitnesses confirmed that it was the junker-290 bomber of Germany, which of course Germany would not admit.

This incident completely ignited the fuse of the American people and made Americans hate Germany and support Britain. Later, Germany investigated all Atlantic airliners and proved that it did not participate in the action at that time.

Since it's not disguised by the Atlantic airliner, it must be another bomber! Now think about it, the facts are very clear. It was just kept in the dark at that time!

Boeing's plane will be awarded the title of B-29 in the future. Shrek is very sure of this. That is to say, this kind of plane is playing tricks!

Let Reinhart investigate secretly and must discredit Roosevelt!

Just as I was talking, I heard the deafening sound in the distant sky. It was the plane returning!

People's eyes looked at the sky. They saw that the cargo plane just took off stretched out a pipe from the middle and rear of the fuselage. At the end of the pipe, there was a conical thing. At this time, it was shaking back and forth in the air flow.

Howard looked at it and saw it: "refuel in the air? Yes, if we have this technology, we can extend the range of the plane! When we have a chance, we can have a global uninterrupted flight! "

Yes, it's aerial refueling! Shrek is here, of course, to inspect the technology.

At this time, in the back, an Atlantic airliner is also flying. Two planes are cruising back and forth. The planes behind are constantly approaching and approaching again and again.

In later generations, aerial refueling is a very difficult technology. In the air flow, the conical sleeve is constantly shaking, and it is very difficult to align the refueling pipe of the oil receiver.

Now it is shaking, but now there is an advantage, that is, the flight speed of propeller aircraft can be very low. For example, now, almost both aircraft maintain a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

At this speed, it is not difficult to adjust. After several slight adjustments, the pilot decisively pushed the operating lever forward and saw the conical sleeve firmly sleeved on the telescopic tube in front of the passenger plane's nose.

Successful docking!
