"Come on, have a drink." Howard's room was even larger, inside and outside, and even on the second floor!

When I arrived at the wine cabinet, I opened a glass of champagne, Howard poured a glass of Cialis: "I admire President Adolf very much, and I admire Brother Cialis very much. You are all great men of Germany."

"Born in a chaotic world, there is nothing we can do about it." Cialick said: "We just hope that the world will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace. Just like Mr. Howard, it is better to do what they love?"

After the two of them drank the wine, Howard was very excited: "What's the matter with you going to the United States this time? I still have some connections in the United States. If you need any help, please tell me."

Cialick hesitated for a moment and decided to say it directly: "Actually, I want to pay a visit to Mr. Howard this time I went to the United States."

Meeting yourself? Howard was stunned: "What's the matter with me?"

"The journey across the ocean is really too long. For many people, this journey is a journey, but many people hope to get to their destination faster." Cialick said: "If there could be a large passenger plane that can span the ocean, Mr. Howard, what do you think?"

Passenger plane! Cross the ocean!

There are quite a few civil aviation passenger planes nowadays, and everything is being explored. So far, more than 100 passenger routes have been established around the world, but the average lifespan of these routes is only about one year. The reason is that there are no suitable aircraft.

The aircraft carry a small passenger capacity and high transportation costs. Companies that simply operate passenger transport are suffering serious losses. Both the European and US governments provide financial subsidies to the civil aviation industry.

At the same time, the aircraft of each airline are still mainly wooden aircraft. Although the prices are cheap, the safety performance is poor and air crashes occur from time to time. Therefore, new all-metal, large passenger capacity, high speed and more comfortable passenger aircraft are the development direction.

Now, the Boeing 247 and Douglas DC-1 aircraft in the United States have completed test flights. These two aircraft mark the birth of modern transport aircraft, and their structure, performance and ride comfort have been greatly improved.

At the same time, Germany is not willing to fall behind. The JU-52 transport aircraft produced by Juncker is also quite representative and durable, and is called "Aunt Juncker".

But now, there are still no intercontinental aircraft, and the longest range of these aircraft is no more than 2,000 kilometers! Now, if you want to achieve intercontinental flight, the longest range will exceed 4,000 kilometers! If you want to achieve round-trip flight, the maximum range will be tens of thousands of kilometers!

In this era, that is something you can't even think about!

However, only with dreams can there be motivation to realize it!

For Howard, the challenge is higher and faster, which is the goal he pursues in life, and now, another one has been added, which is to challenge further!

If bombers are mentioned, it will definitely arouse the alertness of the senior management of the United States, but now, ordinary passenger planes are completely used for civilian purposes!

After hearing Cyric's words, Howard immediately became interested: "You mean to fly across the ocean? If this is the case, the size of the plane must be quite large, and the twin engines may not be enough."

Now, Douglas' DC-1 is almost the industry standard. If you place a single wing, the landing gear can be shorter and then retracted directly. The engine is on both sides of the wings. This layout is the most suitable layout of the passenger aircraft.

But now, it is obviously not enough.

"Yes, it's not enough to build a passenger plane across the ocean. My suggestion is to use a 4 engine." Cialick said: "In my room, there are a few drawings that I draw on myself. Now, I'll let my hands go and get it."

When Cialek came, Graf was at the door and was waiting all the time. After receiving Cialek's order, Graf soon brought Cialek's drawings.

It's just a sketch, after all, Cialek is not a professional aircraft designer either.

"Cirick, I really didn't expect that you are still proficient in this and are very beautifully drawn!" said Howard.

"It's just my idea." Cialick said: "This kind of aircraft needs to be dozens of meters long and take-off weight exceeds fifty tons. I think it can carry passengers about one hundred meters and conduct intercontinental flights. How about it? Are you interested?"

Holding Cyric's sketch and looking at the extremely majestic four engines on it, Howard finally spit out a word in his mouth: "Damn!"

"Then we can jointly develop," said Cialek. "We also have a strong demand in China, and we can design and test flights together."

"No problem," Howard said: "We can invest in research and development."

Now, Howard has been designing the fastest-flying aircraft. If you develop a large passenger plane, you may not have that much energy. Now, developing it together is a good way!

I really didn't expect that everything would go smoothly, and the main thing would be done on the ship!

Historically, Germany has not planned large bombers, such as the Juncker Ju390, Folk Wolf's Ta400, and Messerschmitt's Me264B.

Especially the last one, it is even more abnormal because it uses six engines!

Unfortunately, for various reasons, Germany's strategic bomber project ended in vain!

How can we pose a threat to the United States? Strategic bombers are necessary! Now, Germany is developing in all aspects, and many places need funds and technology. If only Germany develops it on its own, it will undoubtedly be very slow. Now, if you want to pull the company, it will be different!

More importantly, during this research and development process, German engineers will also learn a lot of American technologies, such as stress skinning, and even if they fail in the end, it will be very useful!

"It's a pity that our engine has not enough horsepower. To develop such a large aircraft, it requires at least an engine of more than one thousand horsepower." Howard said.

Now, the mainstream power of aircraft engines is only about 600 horsepower, so it is obviously insufficient to promote such a large aircraft!

Hearing this, Cialick said: "Don't worry, the engine is not a problem. Our domestic BMW company is already developing a new high-power engine with a power of more than 1,500 horsepower. However, BMW's capital turnover is now a problem, and this engine is still on paper."
