If you want to have an excellent aircraft, you must first have an excellent engine. In later generations, there is a saying that as long as the engine is powerful, bricks can fly into the sky!

During the entire World War II, it was also a period of rapid development of military technology, and this was especially true for aircraft engines.

Germany's industrial technology is quite advanced. Although Germany does not have high-grade fuel, it still produces high-power engines.

In aircraft engines, there are differences between air-cooling and liquid-cooling. As the name suggests, it is the difference in cooling methods.

Among them, Mercedes-Benz has created the DB601 series, which is perfect. The liquid-cooled engine reduces the windward area and does not have to worry about the overheating of the engine. Therefore, this engine has always been the main power of German aircraft and is used on aircraft such as Me-109, Me-110, Ju-87, Ju-88 and He-111.

It can be said that the Luftwaffe prefers liquid-cooled engines.

After going to the UK last time, he destroyed Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and BMW pretended to compete and finally acquired Rolls-Royce. The company was separated into two parts. The one who was responsible for the aircraft engine was acquired by Mercedes-Benz and the part of the car was acquired by BMW.

Although I went under the name of Volkswagen, Volkswagen has not obtained anything. After all, Rolls-Royce is proud, so they will not produce national cars!

At that time, the Merlin engine of Rolls-Royce was in the early trial production stage, and now Mercedes-Benz has obtained all the technology to facilitate subsequent development. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz's DB601 engine has entered the full research and development stage earlier than in history.

In contrast, BMW's aircraft engine development process is slow.

Although the Luftwaffe clock-cooled engine, air-cooled engines were not useless in World War II.

Although Mercedes-Benz and Juncker have made full efforts to produce engines, they cannot meet the engine needs of existing models. Therefore, if subsequent fighters continue to use liquid-cooled engines, they will inevitably disperse the already stretched engine production.

This led to a result. The Fw-190 fighter used BMW's BMW-139 series air-cooled engine. This engine with a rated power of 1,550 horsepower not only did not support the hind legs produced by other models, but instead gave the Fw-190 a strong heart and created a generation of famous aircraft.

Moreover, after invading the Soviet Union, the disadvantages of liquid-cooled engines were revealed in cold areas. Because of the fear of freezing the engine, the coolant had to be discharged every day, and when starting, hot water was added, which caused considerable trouble to the logistics.

On the contrary, there is no problem with air-cooled engines and can be started at any time. As a result, air-cooled aircraft have five times the dispatch efficiency of liquid-cooled aircraft!

Whether it is air-cooled or liquid-cooled, as long as you can create advanced aircraft, it is a good engine!

However, now, since the main funds are invested in Mercedes-Benz's new liquid-cooled engines, the investment in BMW is quite small. BMW has to raise funds for its own funds and it will take a long time to develop air-cooled engines.

The same is true in history. BMW's engine was only 39 years before it was developed. It was installed on the prototype Fw190V1. Later, BMW improved the engine and reduced the number of cylinders to 14 cylinders. In the later stage, the power even exceeded 2,000 horsepower!

But now, just like in history, the reorganized Air Force is fond of liquid-cooled engines, so the air-cooled engine is only in the model demonstration stage.

If you obtain external investment, you can definitely tinker with this engine as soon as possible!

When Cyric proposed the engine with 1,500 horsepower, sure enough, Howard's whole eyes lit up!

One thousand five hundred horsepower! That means the new aircraft you plan to develop even more!

Now, Howard has started the Sius Aircraft Company. Because the purchased aircraft is not suitable, Howard has always wanted to build his own aircraft to break world records.

But now, his plane is still limited by various technical problems, and the biggest problem is of course the engine!

If the plane is fast, it needs to have a more advanced engine! In the plan, Howard intends to get Pratt Whitney's engine. They say it can provide an engine of 1,000 horsepower, so that Howard's new plane will have a surging heart.

And now, Cyric's proposal is even more tempting, 1,500 horsepower! If you install such an engine on your plane, you will definitely break the record!

Cyric was very satisfied. You can tell from Howard's expression. Howard cares a lot about this 1,500-horsepower engine! This guy is a big money owner, and as long as he is interested, he can invest a lot of money!

In this way, BMW's air-cooled engine will appear earlier than in history. Maybe more FW190 fighter jets will fly in the sky in Germany?

"This engine will be very adaptable in the future. In addition to being installed on our four-engine large passenger aircraft for intercontinental flights, it can also be loaded on racing aircraft, which will definitely break the world record!"

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to Odick and Pame immediately, and ask them to send someone to contact BMW to discuss the issue of this engine." Sius said.

Odick and Pame are engineers of Howard's Sius Aircraft Company, both of whom are quite talented. Now, they are designing the H1 aircraft. At this time, there are larger engines, so of course they cannot give up!

"Well, I think we can develop two models at the same time, and I can't wait!" Howard was very interested in thinking about the current project. Developing racing aircraft and developing large long-range passenger aircraft will all be progress across eras!

Cialick is also quite satisfied. Through this cooperation, BMW will also obtain a lot of American technology! And it can also tinker with the air-cooled engine earlier!

This is just the beginning, and there will be other cooperations in the future, waiting for Cialick to promote it!

The chat with Howard lasted for three or four hours. Although Cyric was an amateur in aircraft design, he was too familiar with World War II research. After all, he was able to communicate with some details and the conversation was quite pleasant.

When I came out, it was already late at night.
Chapter completed!
