7 Tesla VS Wright Brothers (5 more)

Han Huaiyi was given a headache by him.

He had no choice but to scold him, "Are you worried about what to do with that beautiful mushroom?" I'll take her with you! ”

"She kissed me today, it feels good, I think I can have an hour."

Han Huaiyi didn't want to talk to him about this, so he simply asked three times: "Is the landing gear designed, is the landing assist designed, and is the grenadier designed?" ”

"It's all right, it's all right, these are trivial! Tomorrow I will calculate the position of the center of gravity of the engine again, and I can start assembling! ”

Although Han Huaiyi didn't know that the Pinkerton private police had begun to target New Rome, he knew that the matter would not end so easily.

So he needs the idea of a successful first flight of the plane next week to really appeal to the US Army Air Department.

So in the next few days, Han Huaiyi was supervised here.

He wanted to see with his own eyes the planes gradually take shape in this warehouse.

This aircraft is somewhat similar to the Gulfstream of later generations, but of course the whole is not that big.

Because the length of the Tesla propeller glider named T001 by Han Huaiyi is only 10 meters.

In view of the fact that the 50 hp piston engine designed by Tesla has enough power, in order to ensure the solid structure of the aircraft, the main structure of the internal frame of the aircraft is still welded with steel bars.

This also improves the stability of the aircraft.

Three days later, the two of them, who had forgotten to sleep and eat, and Curtis, who had joined halfway, personally covered the frame with pieces of aluminum skin and held them firmly with rivets.

At this point, T001 was officially formed.

But then another question arises, who will drive!

"Of course it's me." Han Huaiyi was the one who did not give in.

He was ready to do something, especially since the plane was designed by Tesla, and he was also very proficient in flying games, and in terms of flying experience, he must have far surpassed everyone else in this era.

Curtis firmly disagreed: "Charlie, anyone can, you can't, it's a very dangerous thing." ”

Tesla also resolutely sided with Curtis, but the great god's statement was different from Curtis, he said: "What would I do without you!" No, no, you can let Curtis go. ”

Curtis didn't know how many times he scolded him when he was loading the plane, and then he finally blew up: "Nikolai, do you still want Harley." ”

They were arguing, Han Huaiyi took the opportunity to climb into the semi-open cockpit of the plane first to enjoy, if it wasn't for his personal participation, he couldn't imagine that the first flight opportunity in the true sense of the human race was so luxurious.

Look, the leather seats and denim seat belts, the large area of blackout windproof goggles, the refreshing and arguable dashboard, he even has the feeling of sitting in a Tesla car in the future.

The god of obsessive-compulsive disorder took his manual skills to the extreme, and Han Huaiyi didn't expect his needlework to be so good.

In particular, this aircraft can be started at the touch of a button.

All he had to do was pull the classic pluck button on the side and fuel the engine, and the engine would roar and drive the propellers.

Tesla even calculates an approximate velocity value and bins it.

When flying an airplane, you just need to push like a fool.

Only the recovery system of the landing gear was not done, this was Han Huaiyi took the initiative to ask for a temporary ban, he didn't want to fly well, and when he landed, the landing gear couldn't be put down, so wouldn't it be the end of the calf?

Then he drove the plane out of the garage unreasonably, and Curtis and Tesla chased him in vain!

On this day, Jason and Tom had cleared a huge open lot by the New York Harbor and cleaned up the ground.

In addition, they have steel structures on both sides to make huge viewing platforms that can accommodate 2,000 people.

Ford, too, is heading to New York.

After learning that the plane had not only been successfully manufactured, but also that Han Huaiyi had successfully tested the flight in the factory, Tom immediately began to vigorously publicize it。。。。。

Time flies.

On Wednesday, the streets of New York were empty, and the excitement was shocking.

Countless people gathered on the dock, and the reporters were like carp crossing the river.

Completed in October 1886, New York Harbor on the side of the Statue of Liberty is crowded.

The sea breeze gently blows the excited people.

Everyone is curious to see the "Tesla 001" plane towed by a Ford Raptor and escorted by ten dazzling Harley-Davidson motorcycles, can that thing really fly? Most people remain skeptical until they see the miracle with their own eyes.

They are even more interested in Harley-Davidson motorcycles and White Russian motorcycle hunks, which are making their debut in front of the world.

Because everyone is tired of hearing the story of flying, there are always some inexplicable idiots who want to sensationalize and then embarrass people.

If it weren't for the fact that the Victor family was not easy to mess with, it is estimated that there would still be people who could cheer.

Han Huaiyi and the others' minds were not on these influential spectators.

Tom was anxiously looking into the distance, for Syrd, a lieutenant officer in the Army Department of Aviation, had promised to come, but had not yet arrived.

The focus of others is on the stubborn Han Huaiyi.

All the people around him did not allow him to take another risk in public today, but Han Huaiyi resolutely refuted their opinions.

He even quarreled with Ford for the first time: "Henry, this is my dream!" No one, not even Nikolai, understood this treasure for me, and the first public flight had to be done by me personally! ”

"No! Your safety is very important. ”

Han Huaiyi said angrily: "Don't try to deprive me of my honor in this history!" ”

Ford didn't even know what he was talking about, but at this moment two dusty military vehicles arrived.

Tom, who had been waiting for them, immediately greeted them, and to his surprise, the lieutenant of the Army Aviation Department was accompanied by two well-known men, the Wright brothers.

Seeing that an outsider came to Ford and Han Huaiyi immediately reconciled as before, damn it, you can't lose your face to outsiders, isn't it.

Ford's family can't understand the quick change of face of these two men, but Tesla quite understands, because he also came out to mix.

But then he suddenly heard the two guests in front of Tom say in a disdainful tone, "How can this thing fly?" ”

This aircraft is really beyond the Wright brothers' knowledge.

Because compared to their double-winged bulky gliders, the single-helix aluminum gliders are as fantastical and dazzling as UFOs, but not real.

As a result, Tesla blew up in an instant.

He strode up to them and rebuked, "No one can doubt Charlie's design and my craftsmanship!" Who am I? I was the head of the design of the Niagara Hydroelectric Station, the inventor of the alternating current, the inventor of the radio system, the chief designer of New Rome, the greatest inventor of America who could manipulate lightning. Your Excellency Tesla! ”

Then he shouted, "Who are you, and what have you accomplished!" Tell me about it! ”

Ford, who hadn't seen a tech otaku for a long time, was taken aback, and Han Huaiyi said aggrievedly: "What do you see me doing, it's because he doesn't learn well." ”
