Chapter 892: ME 262 in service (2/2)
The fighter plane was slowly towed to the outside runway. With the help of the ground power vehicle, the engines on both sides were started. In the rumble sound, the two engines suspended from the wings started one after the other, and a hot tail emerged from the tail. The smoke, like a torch, accelerated on the runway and flew into the sky with an agile attitude.
”It's as light as a swallow.” Cyric exclaimed.
Cyric didn't know, but with his own words, he nicknamed the plane. In the flying unit, everyone used to call it the swallow.
This is a new beginning!
As the fighter plane flew away, Cyric and his group walked to the meeting room in the office area next to him. This time Cyric came here to inspect. The first item was to participate in the off-line and first flight ceremony, and the second, This is the meeting.
”Now, we have made a breakthrough in jet aircraft, but we still have a long way to go. We are just the beginning in the jet aircraft field.” Cyric said.
Cyric’s words have won everyone’s approval. Indeed, there are still many imperfections in jets~~ First of all, it is the engine. This requires our technicians to continue to work hard to improve the performance of the engine. Especially the life of the engine. ”No matter it is a fighter jet of any era, the first problem is the engine!
The current ME262 uses Junker’s Jumo004. After continuous improvement, this engine has a life of 100 hours. After all, unlike the later generations of Germany, they are not limited to raw materials. As long as they can be used, they You can go.
Even this is not enough. After all, for fighter jets, they need to take off frequently. Based on the calculation of 5 hours a day, it will not be used for a month, so the engine has to be changed.
You know, the life of a piston engine is often thousands of hours.
”Yes, our engine performance is still very poor, and we will continue to work hard.” Dr. Anselen of Juncker is the chief designer in charge of the jet project. He knows the defects of his engine, the head of Cyrenk. It is absolutely correct.
However, he did not expect that the next words of Führer Cyric would be even more professional.
”Our design department can absorb British-thinking and reliable engine designers, and gather all the strength, so that it may be able to collide with more sparks.” Cyric said.
After all, the United Kingdom is an old industrial country with a deep heritage. In fact, their jet engines have already been developed.
The key figures on the British jet engine, officer Frank Whittle, and Dr. A? A? Griffith from the University of Liverpool are all important figures. Thanks to Reinhardt's efforts, these people did not leave the UK.
Even if they do not cooperate, their design materials and their prototypes cannot be taken away. This will give Germany more inspiration.
What Cyric pointed out is certainly not wrong!
