The plane flew a circle over the R&D center and then landed. The whole process was very safe and there was no problem.
After the test pilot got off the plane, he was even warmly greeted by Qin Tian. For such a warrior, Qin Tian undoubtedly admired him very much. It is precisely because of these people that Germany's aviation industry will develop rapidly.
Although, Qin Tian really wanted to experience the fun of flying. However, he still didn't say it in the end. Because he knew that once he said something, he would be strongly opposed by others. Today's planes are simply too dangerous. Qin Tian is the crown prince of the empire, how could he casually take his own life as a joke?
After the test flight, Qin Tian and the others went to the meeting room. Although he was satisfied with the progress of the research and development center, the fighter jet code-named F1 in front of him still fell far short of his expectations.
"Everyone, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on your success. It is undoubtedly not easy to develop an excellent aircraft according to my requirements in such a short period of time. I know that you have been very happy these days. For your hard work, on behalf of the empire, I thank you for your efforts. It is because of this that the empire can be at the forefront of the world in the field of aviation!"
After listening to Qin Tian's words, the eyes of many German engineers and experts were red. Isn't the reason why they work so hard for Germany to become stronger?
Even those non-German engineers and experts were very moved. Of course, because of the success of the project, they also received a lot of bonuses.
"Your Highness, this is what we should do." Gustav Lilienthal said.
"However, what I want to tell everyone is that although you have achieved initial success, there is still a big gap from the real actual combat standard. Therefore, I hope that you can make persistent efforts and develop better performance as soon as possible. Fighter aircraft." Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Gustav Lilienthal and others replied.
"Nowadays, almost all aircraft in various countries are biplanes. Although biplanes have great advantages in terms of flight stability and hovering performance, they have a fatal disadvantage in terms of speed. In the next step, I hope that everyone will use monoplanes In the future, the fighters equipped by the empire will be fighters with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour and a range of more than 500 kilometers. I know that this requirement is difficult for everyone. But I believe that everyone will be able to It was done." Qin Tian said.
What Qin Tian said was the German Fokker E-type fighter in another time and space, the advanced fighter that created the Fokker-type disaster. After the German Air Force equipped a large number of Fokker E-type fighter jets, the pilots of the Allied Powers could not live for six weeks, and they were also called widowmakers.
Now, with the full support of Deutsche Engine Manufacturing Company, at least in terms of engines, Germany is already at the leading level in the world. Therefore, it should not be a big problem for Qin Tian to ask them to develop an aircraft that is slightly ahead of the Fokker E fighter. What's more, the current aircraft research and development center in Germany has gathered the top group of people from the whole of Germany and even the world. It should not be a big problem for Germany to achieve leapfrog development in this area.
"Your Highness, the request you made is indeed very difficult. However, we will do our best. We will strive to realize Your Highness's request within three years." Gustav Lilienthal said.
Qin Tian nodded. Although three years is not a short time, if he can really succeed, that would be pretty good. At that time, as long as Germany produces on a large scale, even if only a few hundred new fighter jets are equipped at the beginning of the war, it will be enough to defeat the air forces of other countries.
"In addition to fighter jets, we also need to develop bombers. Bombers are divided into land-based bombers and ship-based bombers. Land-based bombers must have a large bomb load and a long range. As for other aspects, they can be slightly worse However, carrier-based bombers require high strength, short take-off distance, and as much bomb load as possible. I hope that you will be successful in these aspects in the next few years. If successful, you will be able to At that time, everyone will get a valuable bonus." Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Everyone replied.
Although, in their opinion, many of Qin Tian's requests are really unimaginable. However, after thinking about it for a while, they had to admit that these requests made by Qin Tian were too forward-looking.
Especially carrier-based aircraft, when all countries still use aircraft in the airspace on land, Qin Tian has already started planning to use it at sea. Once it is really successful, this will undoubtedly further improve the strength of the German navy.
Qin Tian hopes to at least develop a torpedo attack aircraft before the war breaks out. In this way, the German Navy will be able to build several aircraft carriers carrying these torpedo attack aircraft in the future. Even if it can only mount light torpedoes or medium torpedoes, once the enemy's surface warships are besieged, very good results can be obtained. Of course, Qin Tian also knew that it was not realistic to develop a torpedo attack aircraft that could mount heavy aviation torpedoes before the First World War. Even if it is developed, it cannot take off and land on an aircraft carrier. The deck of an aircraft carrier is only that long. A plane that is too large simply cannot take off in such a short distance.
After leaving Oralinburg, Qin Tian began to plan the development of the air force. If you have an airplane, you need someone to do it. Although the performance of the current aircraft is not up to standard, these aircraft can be used to train pilots first. When more advanced aircraft were developed, Germany had enough pilots to fly them into combat.
It is not realistic to directly establish an air force in one step. Even the establishment of an army air force or a naval air force is not realistic. On the one hand, there will be many obstacles, and not everyone knows the role of the plane. On the other hand, it is also easy to leak secrets. Qin Tian regarded these planes as Germany's trump card. Whether it is a land-based air force or an aircraft carrier's carrier-based aircraft, it must be kept under high secrecy.
After much deliberation, Qin Tian decided to set up an aviation team within the 8th Army, and at the same time select qualified personnel from the 8th Army for training, striving to train as many pilots as possible to prepare for future wars. Of course, once the time is right, the 8th Army Air Force will develop into the Imperial Army Air Force, and in the future it will develop into the Imperial Air Force!
