Chapter 564: Be wider, be wider again (Second update, please subscribe)
Late at night, when people had fallen asleep, a black BMW drove into the Kailash Mountains.

As the car drove along the highway and into the mountains, a man in his sixties was sitting in the passenger seat. He had gray hair and a neat beard.

Looking at the mountain shadow in the distance, he asked.

"Ajun, do you know this is a sacred mountain and why it is called "Widow Mountain"?"

Ajun, who was driving, laughed when he heard this.

"Why don't you know this? It has something to do with us Tang people. According to legend, in ancient times, a Tangshan fisherman accidentally encountered a typhoon and drifted here. He killed the evil dragon in the mountain and took the dragon ball. The local tribe regarded him as a hero, and the chief also He betrothed his daughter to him, and he settled down there, married and had children. Later, the hero missed his relatives in his hometown and returned to his hometown, but he never came back. The chief's daughter climbed to the top of the sacred mountain every day. Looking up at the sea, I finally hope that my husband will become a stone and stay on the top of the mountain forever. In order to commemorate this great love story, the locals named this mountain "Tangshan Widow Mountain", also known as Widow Mountain, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

Ah Junzhu added,

"I heard it's in the history books."

Gluck smiled.

"Yes, it has been written into the history books. This shows that the Tang people have been here since ancient times and have thrived here. The Tang people are also the aborigines here."

When Chief Engineer Satista introduced the performance of the aircraft to everyone, Allen listened to his explanation while recalling the "Comet" he had seen in the UK, as the "Comet" of the world's first jet airliner. Comet" has been publicly displayed.

It is precisely because of the success of the "Comet" that the airlines will support this project. Of course, another reason is that the president is very supportive of this project.

This is the Aerodynamics Research Institute of Nanyang. Although the first wind tunnel in Nanyang was the Wind Tunnel Laboratory of Nanyang University, a large wind tunnel laboratory was established due to the need to develop the aviation industry.

"That's right. People of my grandpa's generation have been here since then. Grandma is a local, so of course I am an aboriginal as well."

"...It uses four RB.80 jet engines with a thrust of up to 9250 pounds. It is currently the most powerful jet engine. BMW is currently cooperating with Rolls-Royce to develop an engine with greater thrust. Its thrust will exceed 10000 pounds, and may even reach 15000 pounds in the future. According to our estimates, after using the new engine, its cruising speed will be 860km, making it the fastest passenger aircraft in the world.”

As an aerodynamics expert, Glück certainly knows that this is only the original design stage, and the design plan may be modified at any time. What does each modification mean?
Of course, they had to tear it down and start over again. The next day, just as Glück and his colleagues started the air blowing test of the new wing, in the conference room of Nanyang Aviation Industries, company manager Lin Kangwei was receiving Borneo Airlines manager Allen A group of people, a model of a four-engine jetliner was displayed in front of them.

"I hope this test can confirm the wings!"

The driver's answer made Glück smile. When the car turned a corner, a group of brightly lit buildings in the valley appeared in their sight.

Since the aerodynamic test laboratory was built, Nanyang's aerodynamic experts have conducted a large number of aerodynamic tests here, which not only provided a lot of theoretical support for the development of FX1, but also played a great role in the design of civil aircraft. big effect.

Under the guidance of German engineers, aerodynamic research now not only has three high-speed wind tunnels, but also has two different supersonic wind tunnels, one of which can produce supersonic airflow of Mach 4.4.

After entering the institute, Glück moved into the dormitory of the institute. After a brief shower, he spread out the drawings and continued to study the wings. After establishing the project of "large four-engine jetliner" , the company's designers began the design work, and he was responsible for the wing design. In the past few months, they had tested multiple wings and engine pods. After each design modification, they needed to Extensive wind tunnel testing.

Although he is an expert in aerodynamics, Glück also knows the purpose of "Widow's Mountain", which is to show the historical connection between the Tang people and this land.

So he asked directly.

"What's the width of its body?"

"The body width is 3400 mm, the same as the C95, which is enough to accommodate four side-by-side seats, that is, a two-plus-two seat layout." "Four side-by-side seats..."

After pondering for a moment, Allen said.

"In this way, the number of seats is very limited. From the perspective of airline operations, the limited number of seats will increase our operating costs. In order to remain competitive in the competition, we need more seats."

Allen, a former Italian pilot, has been the person in charge of the airline since the North African period. It is through his efforts that Air Borneo has developed into a large company that is not inferior to the large American airlines and has opened many intercontinental routes. . He has his own views on the development of passenger aircraft.

"So, I wish the cabin could be a little wider."

Customer first, this sentence in general terms means... Party A is the father!

Air Borneo is the largest airline in Nanyang. In fact, it is also the only buyer of C95. It may even be the only buyer of jet airliners. After all, it is often unrealistic for Nanyang to export large passenger aircraft. Even if European countries purchase passenger aircraft , US aircraft are often given priority, even jet airliners, as well as the British "Comet", which have already been tested.

This is no ordinary Party A, this is their only father!

Faced with "Dad"'s request, Lin Kangwei turned his attention to Satista. After thinking for a moment, he said tentatively.

"We can expand the fuselage width to 3660 millimeters, so that five side-by-side seats can be achieved, and the total number of seats will increase by 25% to more than 130 seats."

This should be awesome!

Almost subconsciously, Satista had such an idea in his mind, but unexpectedly, the airline's manager Allen fell into deep thought after hearing his words, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Can it be wider?"

Allen said.

"For the airline, the extra space and six side-by-side seats are more in line with our needs, which will further reduce our operating costs. After all, for the company, there is a direct relationship between the cost of flying and the number of passengers. If there is I would like the plane to be as wide as possible."

This... Satista's brows knitted into a knot, and he was already starting to have rumblings in his heart. I even couldn't help but want to greet Party A.

But Party A is the father!

After thinking about it, he forced a smile and decided to increase the width of the plane again.

"3760 mm! This should be the limit. However, in this case, we still need to readjust the body."

Of course, it also includes the wings. There are many places that need to be modified, but this is not a problem. After all, everything is on the drawings, and only some appropriate modifications are needed.

After all, Party A’s requirements come first!
