Transitioning from the propeller era to the jet era, the layout of the engine is also a big problem. At the beginning, the designers could only place the two engines on the wings, but this was not the most suitable. In order to arrange the engine, they simply racked their brains, thought of many ways, and made many attempts before finally finding the most suitable layout method, and then using it.
You can't blame them, because it's completely the opposite. In the era of propellers, the engines were arranged at the nose, and in the era of jet fighters, the engines were arranged at the tail. This transformation has been in the mind for many years.
Of course, Qin Baoshan didn't intend to say it here, he smiled: "Well, I haven't figured it out yet, maybe after a while, when the equipment is sent to our Eighth Route Army base, I can figure it out. Farewell, everyone."
It is only a trivial matter how the bomber's engines are laid out, but how the fighter's engines are laid out is very complicated. It was after a long period of exploration that each aircraft designer had a thorough understanding of this layout. Take a look at the first generation jet fighters of the 1950s and 1960s. There are different engine layouts, one on the nose, one on the belly, and two vertically inserted behind the buttocks. Qin Baoshan, a time traveler, of course has the advantage of being a time traveler, he can directly tell the best of various plans. This is a huge advantage of Qin Baoshan, of course he can't say the most perfect solution at this time. Even if they want to talk about it, it won't be too late to continue talking about it after they have fulfilled their promise and sent those things to the Eighth Route Army's arsenal.
Without those previous achievements, then Qin Baoshan is just a boaster. But now, Qin Baoshan has said a lot of dry things. In the eyes of the Americans present, although Qin Baoshan is self-taught, he has studied a wide range of things and knows a lot. He is a rare talent.
Now that this is finished, Qin Baoshan has had enough of fooling around, and it is time for him to take the next action.
Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Cochran also stood up: "Let's go, let's go together. Today we are going to discuss how to arrange this retractable hard aerial refueling tube. With your help, we will definitely It will be smoother."
The problem of engine overheating was solved yesterday, and it is time to solve the problem of the aerial refueling pipe today. Cochrane has been waiting.
Qin Baoshan smiled politely at the Americans present, and then left.
After walking out, Cochrane said to Qin Baoshan: "I never expected that you are so capable. Those people are our top-notch aircraft designers in the United States. You can inspire them a lot with them. Really It's amazing."
"I'm just talking casually." Qin Baoshan was very modest.
"I want to know, will breaking the sound barrier you said become a reality?" Cochrane asked seriously.
"I haven't researched what the sound barrier is, but I personally feel that the sound barrier is not a wall. Because in this world, there are many things that exceed the speed of sound, such as meteors falling from the sky. Its speed must be faster than the speed of sound." The speed of the sound is so fast that it can even be burned by friction, but I haven't seen meteors completely smashing against the wall made of sound."
Many people think that sound will form a wall and prevent objects from passing through, but in fact, in this era, there are many things in the world that can exceed the speed of sound, and the meteor mentioned by Qin Baoshan is one of them.
"But many of our pilots have experienced that when the speed of the aircraft is getting faster and faster, it will be very difficult to control before it approaches the speed of sound. Some will tremble, and some will be in danger of disintegration." Cochran continued.
Relying on the power of aircraft in this era, it is absolutely impossible to take the aircraft to break through the speed of sound. However, in some cases, when the aircraft encounters an accident, such as the aircraft dives downward, the potential energy of gravity can be exchanged for kinetic energy, and the speed will increase. faster and faster. The plane may approach the speed of sound. Then you will find that the aircraft is quite difficult to control, and may even disintegrate on the spot.
Almost every pilot knows the risk of flying an aircraft that dives too fast.
Qin Baoshan shook his head: "Now our plane is still a propeller plane. As the speed of the plane gets faster, the tips of the blades of the propeller plane may be close to the speed of sound. At this time, there will be a lot of resistance, and the plane will shake. So with the current engine, it is impossible for the aircraft to break through the speed of sound. But the new era has arrived, and jet aircraft will become the mainstream. This aircraft has no propellers. At the same time, as long as some movements are made on the nose and wings, Breaking the speed of sound should be possible."
Until now, the relationship between Qin Baoshan and Cochrane is still very good, so he has nothing to do.?Hidden and tucked away, said all these things, what is faster than the speed of sound? In a few decades, double or triple the speed of sound will not be a problem, and even human beings will be able to fly in space.
Cochrane nodded. These theories of Qin Baoshan are very difficult. satisfy. She hesitated for a moment, then continued speaking. Really hope to work with you. Breakthrough factors together.
Until now, Cochrane is still trying to keep Qin Baoshan. Regarding her invitation, Qin Baoshan was very calm: "Whether I can fly past the speed of sound or even fly to the moon is not what I need to do. What we need to do now is to drive away Little Japan and let our Peace is restored to the country. Everything else is secondary."
Cochrane knew he was doomed to disappointment. There was also a smile on her face: "In this case, let us work together to defeat Japan as soon as possible."
Even if this matter is over, the two continue to move forward. Qin Baoshan thought of something, and said to her: "Is there any new progress about the Japanese bomber yesterday?"
Yesterday, the two of them were almost blown up, and this matter was still fresh in Qin Baoshan's memory. Although he saved Cochran, he didn't take it seriously. It's just that Qin Baoshan now wants to know if there is any new progress in this matter, and whether Japan has created a special submarine carrying a plane to drop bombs here.
"I don't know. Someone is already looking into this matter." Cochrane said, "Perhaps Major Kromlin knows more."
While speaking, he had already reached the hangar, and Major Kromlin was indeed there. Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Major Kromlin had a very strange expression on his face. He said to Qin Baoshan: "This is a very strange thing. , last night, the forest near us was also hit by several bombs." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
