Chapter 127
At this moment, the scale of Bolin Airport is still small, but there are more than ten planes from various airlines.
Among them, Hans Airlines has as many as 8 ju52/3m planes parked here.
In the entire West, there are two most successful passenger planes.
One of them is the ju52/3m plane known as the three-engine monster and the Boeing 247 of Boeing America.
These planes are parked quietly on the tarmac.
The airport tonight is as dark as usual.
If there is anything different.
It is that there are many media reporters sleeping on the floor in the terminal building.
These reporters are waiting for this moment at 4 a.m.
"This is China Airlines Global Flight, requesting guidance to land at Bolin Airport."
In the simple control tower of Bolin Airport, the radio resounded throughout the silent hall.
A young German opened his hazy eyes after hearing the voice.
This voice sounded again.
"This is China Airlines Global Flight, requesting guidance to land at Bolin Airport."
At this time, the young German suddenly woke up.
"The Chinese are coming."
As he shouted, there was a commotion in the hall.
"boom....."
The lights were turned on, and the light instantly illuminated the entire hall.
In addition to this young man, there were 6 other staff members here.
They were also dispatchers responsible for the dispatch of the entire Bolin Airport.
Although Bolin Airport is small in scale and has a small traffic volume, it now has the prototype of a modern civil aviation airport.
"It was only 3:12 in the morning, and they had actually arrived, more than half an hour early."
Everyone was shocked when they saw the clock in front of them.
However, their professionalism was still good.
They immediately began to guide the Global Flyer to land in a hurry.
"The Chinese plane is coming."
As the lights in the terminal were turned on, a staff member shouted.
Then the small terminal also caused a commotion.
They all carried their equipment and started to run out.
At this time, the man with a mustache also came under the escort of a team of SS soldiers.
Behind him was a group of people.
Among them was the general manager of Lufthansa. There were also the deputy general manager of Henschel, the chief designer of Junkers, the chief designer of Focke-Wulf, etc.
They were all attracted by the Chinese round-the-world flight.
From the black and white photos published in the newspaper, they saw the full picture of the round-the-world flight.
This It also attracted the attention of these German aviation giants.
So they all wanted to go to the scene to see it for themselves.
They have long been very curious about China's aviation technology.
After all, being able to destroy the world's third largest combined fleet with fighter jets means that China's aviation technology has been at the forefront of the world.
They are very clear about the current development of Western aviation technology.
At least no country can do it at present.
Soon, everyone was looking at the dark sky. They all stood in a safe area about 200 meters away from the runway.
The light emitted by the temporarily installed runway light strips illuminated the airspace.
These light strips are to guide the aircraft to land.
""It's coming~."
At this moment, everyone could hear the faint roar of the plane in the sky.
And they also saw the red and green lights flashing in the sky.
It was the navigation lights of the A-200 Global Flyer.
The pilots of the Global Flyer also felt nervous at this moment.
They carefully controlled the plane to start landing.
Although there were light strips to guide, it was still very dangerous to land at night.
However, as pilots of the Red Alert Corps, they had also been trained in this aspect.
In the end, they landed smoothly on the runway.
When the wheels touched the ground, the hearts of all the crew members fell to the ground. They definitely couldn't choose to land at night in the future. This was too exciting. Excited.
Suddenly, the windows of the plane began to flash lights wildly.
However, these lights were not emitted by headlights, but spotlights.
When the A-200 Global Flyer landed, everyone felt like a beast had landed with a bang.
The huge body shocked everyone at that moment.
This was also the first time they had seen such a large plane.
It was like seeing something incredible.
When humans face unknown behemoths, they will involuntarily feel fear in their hearts.
The body will feel very depressed and shocked at this moment.
This is also human instinct.
In psychology, it is called gigantic phobia.
"God, is this really an airplane that the Chinese can build?"
"I just flew on Lufthansa yesterday and I was like a little kid in front of it. I couldn't believe my eyes at this moment."
"It is so beautiful, like God's creation."
"Yes, it is also the most beautiful plane I have ever seen"
"It arrived half an hour early. God, I apologize for my doubts before."
The man with a mustache standing in the center and the group of people behind him stared at the A-200 aircraft.
"Is this the Chinese plane? It is really too big, much bigger than all our planes. What do you think of it?"
The mustache asked the group of people behind him, tilting his head.
After recovering from the shock, Vice President Henschel said,"It is the most beautiful plane I have ever seen. Its vertical tail design is very interesting.
This must be a very advanced plane."
"....."
"The Chinese aviation technology has indeed completely surpassed ours.
For such a huge aircraft, they only installed four engines. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The horsepower of these engines must be more than 1,000."
Ernst Sindo, the chief designer of Junkers, exclaimed.
When he designed the JU-52, he needed a 1,000-horsepower aircraft engine.
But the German Aviation Industry could not provide it.
In the end, he had to choose the engine of BMW, which had a power of only 715 horsepower.[]
In subsequent improvements, the Eagle Sauce's Hornet engine was used, with a single engine of 550 horsepower.
It was because of this that the three-engine monster was born.
And this Global Flyer is so huge, more than one circle larger than their Junkers-52 aircraft.
It only used four engines.
The most important thing is that the straight-line flight from Beijing, China to Berlin is more than 7,000 kilometers.
And they arrived in just over 25 hours.
Then the average speed of the entire journey must have exceeded 300 kilometers per hour.
It is precisely because of this that he judged that the power of a single engine on this aircraft must exceed 1,000 horsepower.
His judgment was indeed correct. The four Pratt & Whitney engines used by the A-200 have a single power of 1,350 horsepower.
A-The landing of the A-200 Around the World Flyer brought them a great shock.
When the crew stepped off the plane, more spotlights flashed.
They couldn't open their eyes.
The next day, this group of Chinese people and the A-200 passenger plane behind them appeared on the front page headlines of major media.
The Chinese actually did it.
And the plane they drove was very large, very beautiful, and the performance was very advanced.
A large number of people went to the Berlin Airport that day.
Because this A-200 passenger plane will stay at the Berlin Airport for three days.
And there will be a one-hour flight show during these three days.
How could China miss such a good opportunity to advertise.
At this moment, many people from neighboring countries got on the train to Berlin.
They also wanted to take a look at this legendary Around the World Flyer.
The reason why it is called a legend is because it really flew more than 7,000 kilometers without stopping.
No plane can do it at present, only this one.
On the first day, tens of thousands of people poured into the Berlin Airport, occupying most of the open space in the entire airport.
The A-200 aircraft taxiing on the runway attracted everyone's attention.
At this moment, it was the protagonist in everyone's eyes.
The moment they saw it, everyone was shocked.
The visual impact it brought stimulated their nerves and made everyone excited.
Especially when it took off.
It was as if they saw a giant dragon flying into the sky.
"This is our country's plane, this is our Chinese plane."
There was a group in the crowd, and they all looked at this scene very excitedly.
They were the Chinese and overseas Chinese and students in Germany.
When the A-200 took off, they felt very proud.
Because this is a Chinese plane, and their motherland is China.
Before, they felt inferior because they were Chinese.
At this moment, they can proudly tell others: I am Chinese, a dignified Chinese.
A-The 200 World Flyer arrived in Europe, and the sensation it brought was far beyond Jiang Fan's imagination.
He underestimated the shock this passenger plane would bring.
"Let the people from the Military Supply Bureau contact the Chinese. We need this plane.
We not only want its transport model, but also its bombing model.
The range of more than 7,000 kilometers is enough to cover the entire England and France."(Zhao Hao) said with a small mustache.
After hearing this, the air force also showed joy on their faces.
The current air force is very frustrated.
The Treaty of Versailles completely restricted their development.
How could they not be jealous of the military model of this A-200 passenger plane?
A-When the A-200 Global Flyer stayed in Berlin for three days, it also performed three days of flight shows during these three days.
It also brought great popularity to the Global Flyer.
Europeans were full of curiosity about this huge plane from China.
They also began to be curious about China.
Is China really a backward and poor country?
If it is true, how could they build such an advanced aircraft?
At this moment, many people's stereotypes about China have loosened.
This is also the significance of the A-200 Global Flyer.
This time they chose to take off at 2 pm in the German time zone.
The German time zone is 6 hours faster than the American time zone.
This trip is 6,500 kilometers. If they fly at cruising speed, they can reach the New York Civil Aviation Airport in 20 hours.
That is, they can arrive at 8 am New York time.
This time they don't have to land at night.
In the reluctant eyes of the audience, the A-200 Global Flyer took off and disappeared.
Like a giant, it rushed into the sky.
