Chapter 1219 Helicopter Display
After coming to this world, Cialek used the knowledge in his brain as a golden finger to allow German science and technology to develop rapidly. Under Cialek's leadership, Germany's military technology was even ahead of this era.
In the cutting-edge fields, rockets, atomic bombs, long-range bombers, and Germany have begun to advance steadily. Among conventional weapons, tanks, fighters, and cannons have avoided all kinds of detours and directly made the most suitable ones.
However, Cialek could not cover everything. The entire World War II expanded, and there were too many aspects involved.
Cialick is concerned about the development of fighter jets, such as the air-cooled FW190 and jets, which have appeared earlier than history, but Cialick ignores another type of aircraft that is not very common in this era, which is helicopters.
When it comes to the originator of helicopters, there are many debates. The earliest saying is Da Vinci. Helicopters have appeared in his paintings. Of course, the technological level at that time was impossible to achieve.
It was not until recent decades that the idea of helicopters became popular again.
In 1904, Russian scientist Professor Zhukovsky published a paper entitled "The Loading Capacity of Rotors", which caused a great response in Russia. Then the development of helicopters began to prevail in Russia, the most famous of which were Sikorsky and Yurev.
At the same time, in Germany, Baumgarto was the first to build helicopters. He began to build coaxial helicopters in 1913, but this type of helicopter could not be left empty for a long time. The subsequent outbreak of World War I interrupted the development and development of German helicopters.
In 1927, Flett began to study helicopters. A helicopter he built used a large rotor to provide lift, and flew with a propeller, equipped with a 20-horsepower engine. During the test, the helicopter successfully lifted off the air, but the stability was not good. The sudden crosswind caused the aircraft to lose balance, land and crash, and the test was terminated.
Without Cialek's push, the progress of German helicopters has developed almost in history.
Flett would not give up on his helicopter, but was just waiting for an opportunity. This time, it was 1935.
This year, the German Navy proposed to develop a helicopter that can be used on ships. For the navy, if they want to detect the enemy situation, they can only rely on ship-borne seaplanes. There is no big problem with ejection and takeoff. They mainly land, and they have to land on the water and then recover it by the cranes of the warship.
During combat, recycling will be delayed at any time. If there are aircraft that can take off and land vertically, it will be much more convenient for the navy.
So, after getting the news, Flett immediately invested and built a factory near Berlin that specialized in the production of carrier-based helicopters. Not long after, he developed the fi-184 helicopter, using a 150-horsepower sh14a engine, three-piece blades, and the blade diameter was 12 meters. During the test flight, he found that the aircraft's performance was not good, so he developed the fi-185. In 1936, the fi-185 was developed, which was similar to fi-184 in appearance, but the performance was still not ideal.
During this period, another aviation expert in Germany also began to develop helicopters, namely Folk Wolf, who had a bigger affair and invited all aviation scientists in Germany, including Dr. Jackel, Dr. Gaster, etc. to overcome difficulties together.
Over the years, their fw-61 was also created, winning the favor of the Luftwaffe.
However, until now, their helicopters cannot be said to be completely mature. They still have great technical problems, which is why they have been unable to be put into service for a long time.
When Cialick and a group of senior officials got out of the car and saw the helicopter being prepared for a flight demonstration, Cialick knew where the problem was.
This is the advantage of time travelers. The technicians here have to go through years of hard work, conduct many researches, and walk countless curved roads before they can finally find the right way.
But what about the time traveler? Just take the future plan directly. In the simplest way, it is the layout of jet fighters. There have been many attempts in history. The final result is that the jets and propellers are different. The propellers are in front and the engines of the jets are in the back, and the layout of the fuselage is completely different.
These will take a long time to try, but Cialis can point them out directly, reducing big detours.
And the same is true for helicopters today.
It was also by chance that Cialick had received the news that the Navy was developing a carrier-based helicopter. After hearing this, he immediately asked to organize a flight performance to show himself. Now, when Cialick saw the real thing, he knew that he was taking a detour.
At this time, Flett was excited to greet him and said to Cialick: "Report to the Head of State, our fi-282v aircraft will be undergoing a flight demonstration soon. I am very happy to show you the powerful performance of our aircraft."
In the temporary viewing venue, Cialek sat in a chair and looked at the plane in the distance. Of course, this was for safety reasons. If the mechanical failure fell, it would not hurt these senior personnel.
"The first thing that was carried out was a take-off and landing performance. Head of Cialis, can you see the clearing in the distance? The one with the circle is drawn, our plane can take off and land in a narrow area of 4 meters x 4 meters. This is a necessary condition for being able to board a warship." Flett explained to Cialis.
Vertical take-off and landing are very practical for the navy. The navy's deck can also be marked with such areas.
Sirik took the telescope and looked clearly at the helicopter over there, swaying and taking off. The whole process was like acrobatics. He took off from the circle area here, flew three or four meters, and then moved more than fifty meters to the side, and then landed carefully in the circle area here.
The prototype of this helicopter is completely closed, but it is later manufactured and turned into a convertible. Of course, it is for the pilot to easily observe the surrounding conditions, which is very beneficial for take-off and landing.
The pilot was operating the helicopter, shaking back and forth more than a dozen times, and finally landed accurately.
"Okay!" The naval commander Raidel, who was present, applauded first: "By relying on this precise take-off and landing, our navy can place orders of more than fifty aircraft."
"Thank you for your praise, we will continue to perform the flight performance, please continue to watch." Flett said excitedly.
"This helicopter has a fatal flaw." At this moment, Cialek spoke, and his words stunned everyone present.
