Chapter 879： Bard Design Bureau

In World War II, although Germany failed, the German engineers became famous all over the world because of their amazing performance! It can be said that although World War II led to the recession of the global economy and the sharp decline of the population, it also promoted the progress of science and technology! After all, in order to win the war, all countries have invested a lot in science and technology!

As the embodiment of cutting-edge industry, the aviation industry is also the embodiment of technology. In this regard, Germany has a huge advantage! For example, Germany is the ancestor of the jet engine! Before the end of World War II, Germany already had full-fledged jets!

It is a pity that after the end of World War II, Germany was a defeated country, and the aviation industry has been stagnant since then. Even in West Germany, the automobile industry is extremely powerful, and the aviation industry has not improved much, and no fighter jets have been independently designed!

And East Germany is not much better. After the end of World War II, the excellent German engineers were divided up by the United States and the Soviet Union. Among them, Brunov, who worked for Junkers and designed the landing gear for Junkers Ju287 - Dr. Bard.

Junkers Ju287 was one of the fanatical aviation dreams of Nazi Germany at the time. It was a mid-wing bomber with four BMW003 jet engines and a forward-swept wing design, with an amazing cruising speed.

The Budd was also reused. When the East German government decided to build a regional jet for domestic routes, he became the project leader, trial-producing the new Budd 152 at the Dresden State Aircraft Factory. , Unfortunately, in 1961 East Germany ordered the cancellation of the Bard 152 R&D project.

And this project ended without success, and the socialist star project costing 2 billion East German marks came to an end. The GDR aviation industry declined completely, and Budd entered the classroom and taught at the University of Dresden until his death.

And these large-scale industrial facilities that manufacture 4-engine aircraft have also been transformed into maintenance plants for MiG fighter jets and Miri helicopters of the Warsaw Pact.

This process is frustrating. The aviation industry of East Germany also came to an end.

But now, Andre has mentioned it, East Germany has restarted the development of fighter aircraft, and the starting point is very high, and it is a stealth aircraft! Also take off and land vertically!

Sure enough, these words of Andre provoked the interest of Günter-Lar and others. The muscles on the old guy's face were trembling, and he said, "General Andre, can we go take a look?"

Up to now, the two Germans are still opposed. Although there are frequent civil exchanges, the relationship between the troops is not good. After all, the two sides are hostile and are ready to fight at any time. At this time, Günter-Lar's action can be said to be an icebreaker.

It is already very good to be able to visit other people's air force bases. Now, I have to shyly watch the development of other people's stealth aircraft. This requirement is unreasonable.

You know, stealth aircraft is the Air Force's top secret! Even the United States, its ally, has never let Western European countries touch their stealth aircraft until now, and the F-117 can only be touched by Americans!

After saying this sentence, Günter-Lal felt a little uncomfortable. If he asked this question, how should he answer it?

"This, of course, but it's limited to you, other people, please stay at the air force base here." Andre said: "You should also know that this is a highly confidential project."

Behind Güntral, the expressions of the entourage changed: "Mr. Defense Minister, we must be by your side, and we must protect your safety."

"I'm safe here, you all wait here," Günter-Lar said.

A few entourages, look at me, I look at you, what they want to say, but they still do not speak, so, watching Günter-Lar and Andre and others, board a helicopter parked next to them, and fly straight. Dresden State Aircraft Factory.

Andre was amused. The few people accompanying Günter Lal were obviously CIA agents. Of course, the United States was not at ease when Günter Ral came to visit East Germany. But Günter-Lar must have also felt that these American stalkers were very unhappy, and he wanted to see the stealth planes in East Germany. He didn't know that this was digging a big hole for him!

This is a straight-line soldier, and he still doesn't understand more politics.

"How come we didn't know there was an aircraft design bureau in East Germany before?" On the plane, Günter-Lar couldn't help but speak.

Of course not! This aircraft design bureau was only established ten days ago! Moreover, all kinds of equipment required for the project were obtained from the Mikoyan Design Bureau, and most of the designers were people of Germanic descent who were transferred from the Mikoyan Design Bureau. After all, East Germany was already under socialism. In the camp for decades, it can be considered that a group of talents has been cultivated.

This project is also a project that binds West Germany and East Germany together. Andrei knows that Günter-Lar will never resist the temptation of stealth aircraft, because he is an old pilot!

The Dresden State Aircraft Factory, now the largest aviation company in East Germany, is mainly responsible for the repair of fighter jets. And now, on the side of this manufacturing plant, a new East German aircraft design bureau, the Badd Design Bureau, was established.

The name is not to commemorate Dr. Bard, the founder of the East German aviation industry, but because the chief designer of this design bureau is Bard.

Monica Budd, the granddaughter of old Budd, although only in her early forties, is already a talented aircraft designer! She was born in World War II, and the war ended when she was a few years old. After that, she grew up in East Germany. When she became an adult, she married an East German officer. Therefore, she was also politically reliable. At the same time, she Due to her grandfather's relationship, she was very interested in aviation. Under the influence of her family, she became an aircraft designer. After that, she went to Moscow and worked under the Alexander designer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

It can be said that the MiG-37 project is a project under Monica's hands. Since Alexander is in charge of the Super Seven project with Huaxia, the project of this new stealth machine was handed over to Monica, with Designers, came to work in the newly formed design bureau in East Germany.

With Günter-Lar, Andrei also came to this design bureau for the first time. He didn't worry about revealing the stuff, after all, the KGB's arrangement was seamless.

The helicopter landed on the platform, and Günter-Lar stepped on the lawn, looking at everything around him, very excited. After all, there was a German aircraft factory in Dresden during World War II, and since the end of World War II, he has never been here!
