"Your Highness, Mr. Gustav Lilienthal wants to see you!" After Qin Tian returned to Berlin, Karl von Jonareit immediately told him the news.
"Huh? I see, let him come to see me right away!" Qin Tian said immediately.
Gustav Lilienthal is the person in charge of Qin Tian's fighter plan. Before and after, Qin Tian has already invested 20 million marks in this plan. And let the German engine manufacturing company fully cooperate with them in the development of aero engines. Now, is it finally time for the results?
Although all countries are developing their own aviation vehicles. However, Qin Tian believed that with his help in an almost cheating way, Germany could surpass other countries in this aspect and be at the forefront of the world. After all, as a latecomer, Qin Tian knows better which direction of development is correct, and will not take detours, thus saving more time.
Half an hour later, Gustav Lilienthal appeared in Qin Tian's office.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Gustav Lilienthal admired Qin Tian very much. Although, the imperial prince is only 21 years old. It's not just because of Qin Tian's strong support that their aviation dream can continue to develop. It is also because Qin Tian also has unique insights in the field of aviation, allowing them to make rapid progress in the development of aviation vehicles.
"Well, Mr. Lilienthal, please sit down. Has your research and development been successful?" Qin Tian asked.
"Yes, Your Highness. The first aircraft we developed has been successful. Yesterday, we conducted the first test flight and it was a complete success. Therefore, I invite Your Highness to watch our second test flight." Gustav Lilienthal said excitedly.
"Very well, when is the second test flight? I will definitely go." Qin Tian nodded. He is still very much looking forward to Germany's future fighter jets. In future wars, whoever holds air supremacy will be able to win. Of course, it's too early to tell. Even after the advent of aircraft, there is still a long way to go to become the protagonist of the battlefield.
However, Qin Tian still hopes that these flying troops can form combat effectiveness before the war breaks out. Not only the army needs the help of these fighters, but the navy is also eager to see through. Only by developing a carrier-based aircraft that can take off on an aircraft carrier can Qin be able to build aircraft carriers with confidence and boldness, making these aircraft carriers the trump card to defeat the British Navy in future wars.
"Yes, Your Highness. Three days later, we will conduct the second test flight." Gustav Lilienthal said excitedly.
"Okay, I will definitely go then." Qin Tian said.
Three days later, the weather was fine. Autumn in northern Germany is crisp and clear.
Deutsche Industries AG has established an aircraft research and development center in Oralinburg, north of Berlin. Gustav Lilienthal and his team worked there. In the whole team, there are not only German aviation experts, but also many foreign experts. These experts were all found by Qin Tian using various means. Of course, some people came for the sake of profit, while others were coerced and had to come.
Qin Tian arrived in Olarinburg early in the morning. On the runway of the small airport of the R&D center, a simple plane was parked there, like an ugly duckling.
Indeed, in Qin Tian's eyes, this plane is like an ugly duckling. However, this represents the future of the German aviation industry. Qin Tian also believed that soon this ugly duckling would grow into a real white swan.
"Your Highness, this is the aircraft we developed." Gustav Lilienthal said.
Qin Tian walked over and circled the plane. This is a biplane, and it is naturally incomparable with those jet aircraft of later generations. However, this is also the best aircraft that can be developed under the existing technical conditions.
"Let me introduce this plane!" Qin Tian said.
"Wilbur, Orville, which one of you would like to introduce this aircraft to Your Highness?" Gustav Lilienthal asked.
Wilbur and Orville are the famous Wright Brothers. However, after Qin Tian paid a sky-high acquisition fee, the two ended their careers in the United States and joined the fighter jet research and development project led by Gustav Lilienthal.
"Brother, come on!" Orville Wright said.
Wilbur Wright nodded.
"Your Highness, this aircraft was designed according to your reminder. The length of the aircraft is 7.3 meters, the wingspan is 9.5 meters, and the height is 2.4 meters. The take-off weight is 500 kg, the maximum flight speed is 120 kilometers per hour, the maximum ceiling is 2800 meters, and the endurance is 1.5 hours. The weapon is a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun with two hundred rounds of ammunition. In addition, there are two It can carry two 25kg aerial bombs," said Wilbur Wright.
"So, this plane is barely capable of actual combat." Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Gustav Lilienthal nodded.
"Let the pilot start the test flight!" Qin Tian didn't say much.
Although, in Qin Tian's eyes, this aircraft is still far from actual combat. But in any case, a breakthrough of zero has been achieved. First solve the problem of whether or not, and then further develop on this basis. Qin Tian believed that they would be able to develop an aircraft that would satisfy him in a short time.
"Okay, Your Highness." Gustav Lilienthal nodded.
The test pilot climbed into the plane after saluting Qin Tian. With the help of the ground crew, the propeller of the plane spun up.
Then, the test pilot released the brakes, and the plane began to taxi on the runway. After taxiing for more than 200 meters, the nose of the plane began to rise. Under the surging power of the engine, the plane rushed into the sky like a sharp arrow.
"Papa papa!"
Qin Tian took the lead in applauding. After all, flying was undoubtedly very dangerous in the early twentieth century. If you are not careful, the machine will be destroyed. So, every test pilot is courageous. Even though Qin Tian is the crown prince of the empire, he should pay his respects to these test pilots.
The plane is flying in the air, doing test flight actions one by one. Although it is a little clumsy, in general, there is already a trace of fighter jets of later generations. Qin Tian believes that based on this fighter, Germany will develop better fighters in the future.
