Chapter 234 (1/2)
”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.
