Aircraft in this era rely on the engine to drive the propeller, and then push the air back, so as to obtain a forward reaction force to move forward. The propeller of the aircraft is the most important device for the aircraft to fly. The greater the power of the engine , the greater the number of propeller blades and the larger the radius at the same time, this will cause a lot of trouble. During takeoff and landing, once the propeller hits the ground, it will be a big accident.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the propeller, most aircraft use the rear three-point landing gear. There is a main landing gear on the wing and a small rear wheel behind the tail. When taking off and landing, the aircraft The main landing gear on the wing is the main device for bearing the impact force.
At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the propeller, the nose of the aircraft will be tilted up slightly, especially during takeoff, when even the pilot cannot see the runway directly ahead.
It was a bit better when it landed, and the field of vision was relatively wide. At this time, Major Cromlin operated the transport plane steadily, lowered the altitude little by little, and slowly moved towards the runway directed by the flames. His hands gripped the joystick, muscles tensed.
Getting closer, getting closer.
At this time, on the ground, a group of people were also stopping to watch. Chief of Staff Ye was covering the sun with his hands, looking at the planes flying in the sky. He was in charge of the reception of the US military observation team, and he knew how important this task was. .
The Eighth Route Army needs to show the world the contribution it has made in the War of Resistance Against Japan. The Chiang Kai-shek government is unwilling to publicize the Eighth Route Army. This time, since the Americans are here, it is time to show a real Eighth Route Army in front of the Americans. Chief of Staff Ye knew that this matter was very important, so he did a lot of preparatory work. After the Americans came down, the daily itinerary would be fully arranged.
Now, he is watching the plane in the sky getting bigger and bigger, and the plane is steadily approaching the direction of the airport runway.
Looking at this plane, Chief of Staff Ye also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, the Eighth Route Army, when will there be planes! However, after a moment of emotion, I felt that there was something wrong with this emotion. Doesn¡¯t our Eighth Route Army already have planes? Right in the Licheng base, there is one. Although there is only one, it is still a zero breakthrough.
The roar in the sky became louder and louder. Chief of Staff Ye watched the plane slowly approaching with a light attitude. Then, the plane continued to slide towards the runway.
"Everyone, get ready." Chief of Staff Ye said to the people behind him. After the U.S. military disembarks, there will be a welcome ceremony, and there will be a flower-laying session. We want the Americans to feel the enthusiasm of our Eighth Route Army.
In the sky, Major Cromlin continued to operate the plane to descend. He was flying very steadily, but he was still uneasy. When the wheels landed, he would feel relieved.
Major Cromlin operated the plane and continued to descend, getting lower and lower, and his hands became softer and more stable. The most difficult thing was now.
Then, he heard a soft bang, and then the fuselage of the plane trembled, and suddenly, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, the wheels had already touched the ground, and the runway ahead was still long enough, so he needed to continue taxiing forward. After the rear tail wheel also falls down, just stop the plane with the brakes.
Major Cromlin glanced at the speedometer out of the corner of his eye. The current speed is more than 100 kilometers per hour, which is already the limit of the C-47 transport aircraft. If the speed is high, then he is afraid that the runway below will not be strong enough. If a tire blows out, it will be a big trouble.
Everyone on the ground was also happy, seeing that the front wheels of the plane had touched the ground, and continued to taxi forward. Some people even went up to meet them. Waiting for the plane to stop, they could appear in front of foreign friends at the first time. .
Chief of Staff Ye was also very happy, watching the plane continue to taxi forward, the speed was getting slower and slower, and then, the rear wheel also touched the ground, with a smile on his face, intending to go forward with the others.
However, at this moment, there was a bang, which immediately shocked everyone.
Everyone looked over in surprise, and saw the left wheel of the plane, which suddenly sank. Was the soil there not compacted?
The wheel fell off, and the engine is above the wheel! The propeller of the engine was rotating rapidly, and as the wheel fell, the propeller also moved downward, so it poked on the ground, and the flying propeller made a light crackling sound, stirring up the dust, and sparks began to fly . At the same time, since the body is still moving forward, the propeller is moving forward while stirring the ground. This scene looks extremely weird.
Everyone is shockedI was stunned, I opened my mouth wide, no, something happened!
Anyone can see that there was an accident when it landed. The plane must have crashed, right? If any accident happened to the members on the plane, it would be a big trouble!
At this time, Major Cromlin on the plane had also noticed that something was wrong. The fuselage suddenly tilted and became tilted. He was extremely worried, for fear that the outside of the wing would come into contact with the ground and be knocked into the air. Then, the plane is about to buckle down.
At this moment, Major Cromlin turned his mind, and immediately pushed the normal engine throttle lever on the right side to the end, and the plane's engine roared immediately. With the help of huge thrust, it drove the whole fuselage to shake, and then, The whole plane jumped forward, and the tire on the left side was actually lifted out of the hole!
The fuselage finally returned to level again, and Major Kroms retracted the throttle lever again. At this time, the speed had further decreased. He stepped on the rudder firmly, and the plane slowly stopped at the end of the runway.
His back was drenched with sweat, and Major Croms' face was still pale. He turned off the engine, and then he had the opportunity to look to the left. From his position, he could see the propeller. Seeing that the propeller on the left side has all been bent, fortunately, it is not broken, otherwise the high-speed rotating propeller will fly out, smashing the engine, and the left side will catch fire.
Given the conditions of the Eighth Route Army here, it is estimated that it will not be able to extinguish the fire in a timely and effective manner. At that time, all the people on his plane will be burned to death in the fire.
Thinking of this, Major Croms closed his eyes, leaned against the back of the flight seat, took a few deep breaths, and then opened his eyes again.
"Everyone can get off the plane." Major Kroms shouted to the cabin behind. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
