Chapter 635

"Didn't you tell the military that this kind of plane has a very short flight time? The voyage is very limited? " A man in a suit frowned and asked his assistant. His company was ordered to produce the British meteor fighter, but he knew some core data of the fighter, so he was uneasily asking the messenger.

The assistant's face was not very good, and he replied in a low voice, "yes! I said that this kind of aircraft can only be used to intercept the other party's bombers at most, and it is obviously unrealistic to seize the air supremacy. But those guys said they could intercept the other side's bombers

"Then you didn't make it clear to these idiots that we can't mass produce this kind of plane now? Those seemingly simple turbine blades need a lot of processing technology to be manufactured. There are only a few of these engines, all of which are locally manufactured... "This businessman knows how many kilos his company has. His enterprise is already stretched to produce hurricane fighters in Canada and some of Rolls Royce's piston engines, Where's the energy to do this kind of unrealistic thing?

Hearing these words, the assistant even had the heart to cry. He answered his boss dejectedly, as if he was very aggrieved: "as I said, our production capacity is limited, and now we can't transfer personnel to produce this kind of complex aircraft. But those... "

"But we have to make this kind of plane!" A RAF general came up, pushed the assistant away and said to the businessman, "I don't care what difficulties you have, you have to overcome them! This is no longer a matter of fighter planes. It is related to whether Britain can persist and whether the British people have the courage to persist! Icelandic troops need an invincible fighter, we must give them this invincible fighter! "

When a regime has been besieged, when the sun never sets, the Empire has now become a subordinate. There has been negative resistance in the far side of the Indian Federation, and Australia can no longer count on it. The only thing the British Empire can rely on is memories of the past and years of technological reserves.

Therefore, the British Empire can no longer give up any chance to inspire people. New weapons, especially a new weapon that can surpass German weapons, will play an irreplaceable role in boosting the morale of the whole empire. On the other hand, the appearance of new weapons can also play an immeasurable role in deterring the various colonies.

"I need at least five such planes. No matter what method you use, once such planes appear, the sky in the waters near Iceland will be absolutely safe. The German Navy will not be able to land without seizing the air supremacy. Only in this way can his majesty prepare the plan of counterattack at ease!" The air force officer apparently had high hopes for the jet.

Can five planes save an empire from failure? How many planes does the distant colony need to be deterred? The merchant's mouth twitched twice and didn't ask these questions. He didn't know how long his motherland would last, but out of patriotic belief, he decided to do as much as an Englishman could.

At the end of the test track of the experimental airport, the new British fighter, which was flying as fast as a meteor, was emitting wisps of light smoke from the cracks in the metal skin.

"Technicians! The fire brigade! Come quickly! The plane seems to be burning inside! Come on A ground crew member was about to open the maintenance skin of the plane and check the wiring and machinery inside. When he saw that the test plane was smoking, he quickly yelled.

A lot of people around heard the shouting and rushed over with the guy who could put out the fire. They took apart the maintenance skin with all hands and feet. When the fire met more air, it jumped up with a cry, but it wasn't long before it was put out with fire-fighting equipment.

"It was the engine on the left that overheated, ignited the rubber gasket inside and caused part of the circuit to burn." A designer familiar with the internal structure of the aircraft inspected the burning parts and came to this reliable conclusion.

Everyone stood in silence around the troublemaking new fighter. The engine on the right side vibrated before take-off, and the engine on the left side caught fire after take-off. How many pilots are willing to fly this kind of aircraft to fight even if it is produced and sent to the front line?

No matter how good the performance is, you have to have life to operate it. If the aircraft vibrates in the sky, and if it burns in the sky, can you still use the German pilots to fire? This plane may fall from the sky without even seeing the enemy. How can we rely on it to ensure the security of the British Empire's airspace?

"We can't take part in the war. We'll have to experiment for another two years at least. We can't produce it on a large scale until the technology is mature!" An old engineer squinted and looked at the meteor fighter through thick glasses. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and prepared to write down the accident in the record book.

Suddenly, a hand on his notebook stopped him. The old engineer looked up and saw that it was the test pilot of the plane, the British air force major, who was not the other person blocking his recording.

"When I fly, this aircraft performs very well and its performance is very powerful. It is the best aircraft in the world, so please don't kill it. I'm willing to drive it to shed blood on the battlefield, and I don't want to live in a world without Britain." The major looked at the engineer with sincere eyes and said solemnly. At any time, there are heroes who are willing to sacrifice for their motherland. Their solemn and stirring feelings do not belong to a particular nation. At least in the ancient empire of Britain, there is no lack of the consciousness to die generously. Finally, the old engineer put down his pen, sighed and walked to the meteor fighter with his back hand, and began to repair the slightly damaged plane with his apprentices and more technicians. After all, this plane is carrying the future of an empire, so its thin wings are so heavy that people can't help but pity its fate“ Don't worry, major. You are willing to die for the British Empire, and we are willing to make the best plane for you A young mechanic said to the pilot, "we will do our best to keep these planes from breaking down!"“ These Brits, haven't given up the jet yet? " Acardo looked at the Canadian secret weapons experiment prediction report submitted by the intelligence department, sneered and put aside some fuzzy photos and messy evidence. Meteor fighter, just look at those fuzzy photos, acardo will know that, like another time and space, the British jet appeared more than a year ahead of time. It's just that this kind of advance is mixed with too much reluctance, which makes the first generation of allied jets, which are relatively mature in technology, become the suicide artifact with high failure rate, just like the German Me-262 doomsday fighter“ Our jet planes still dare not mass produce. It's because the failure rate is not up to the standard. What can these Brits rush to produce this kind of thing for? " Gaskell sneered and said his evaluation. He was responsible for keeping German scientific and technological weapons secret, so he knew the development progress of many new German weapons. He knew that Germany had in fact tested its own jet fighter a few months ago, and that it was more reliable than the British toy. After flying for at least 14 minutes, it landed unharmed. However, it will take at least one year for this thing to be tested before it can be equipped with front-line fighter forces, and it will not be equipped on a large scale. In view of the limitations of the times, the fighter during World War II was not the right weapon to fight for air supremacy. Although the speed of this kind of aircraft surpassed that of the main piston fighter in World War II, it was not suitable for air combat because the fuel burning too fast led to too short space time and too fast speed led to poor fighting performance. Therefore, in the World War II era, jet fighters can only be used as interceptors. When intercepting the other party's bombers, they should give full play to their own speed advantage, and the main combat means of jet aircraft is to fight and run. The British are anxious to put it into use because they are afraid of the German long-range bombers raiding the Icelandic base, and the demand for this kind of defensive weapon is not very urgent in the offensive Germany“ Let them make it. If the war situation can be reversed by several jet fighters, it's really a big joke! " Akkado sneered and said that he had the confidence, because in another time and space he knew, the Nazi air force really invested a lot of jet fighters. What was the result? He was beaten black and blue by the numerous bombers of the Allied forces? And how many of those German Ace Pilots died on their malfunctioning Me-262? They were not shot down by Allied fighters, but tragically died of mechanical failure of their own fighters. For a soldier, the only weapon he can rely on on on the battlefield, if it is not reliable, he can only fight with prayer“ What about us? Waiting for the British to come out with jet fighters? " Gascol doesn't have the bottom of acardo in his heart. He doesn't know what the status of the British jet plane is now. Even if he knows, he doesn't want to take risks easily. Akado laughed: "do our own thing, forget about the British jet, it's just like our ship to ship missile program, there will be no decent results in a short time!"—— Add more, ask for monthly ticket, reward, subscription and recommendation!
