Chapter 970: Flying Club
If in the era of peace, Yang Yuanzhao will definitely promote all-round development, the future generations are diverse, the cultural industries that bloom in all directions, have never eaten pork, always seen pigs run, rich spiritual civilization, can also promote social stability.
It's a pity what time is now, for Yang Yuanzhao, at most one or two years may fall into the war, even if the northwest does not want to, the world situation will inevitably develop to a certain point, the world looks big, in fact it is small, it is all confrontation and continuity between several major powers, peace is not prayed for, prayed for, but a false peace, for a big country like China, except for the courage to climb the peak, there is no second way to go. In terms of layout, we do not consider the coexistence of multiple spiritual civilizations, and everything is in the service of war.
Fortunately, the Chinese people, coming from the disaster-stricken old China, before 1908, most of them even filled their stomachs were extravagant, and the demand for spiritual civilization was not so great, and under the situation that the overall planning and cultivation of commodities entered a certain extent, the cultural and sports activities supported by the northwest appeared, and the trawling fishing boat was not counted, which should be a kind of work, and the three major projects with the theme of shooting, racing and flying became the focus of the people's attention.
The largest of these is shooting, compared to the other two sports, the design of the field is small, sometimes, isolated a shooting range can be carried out, the use of guns and bullets, as long as it is well organized, you can enter different levels of the league, the depth and breadth of participants, is not comparable to the other two.
But if there is one of the most popular and fascinating sports, it is flying. It was people who wanted to fly, and hot air balloons and airships appeared for more than a hundred years. caused a huge sensation, and quite a few people will spend money. Take to the skies.
The appearance of airplanes, and quickly replaced airships and hot air balloons, the speed of the airship is not slow, the maximum speed reached 70 kilometers, much faster than the average car, but compared with the speed of more than 200 kilometers of airplanes, the difference is not a little bit, free to soar in the sky, and can enjoy the feeling of galloping. This is something that no sport can replace.
When the flying club was first established, it was more or less considered the issue of secrecy, China is too big, and flying clubs are held all over China, and leaking secrets is certain.
However, China is very large, and most of the people in the countryside have been taken over by the Production and Construction Corps, and most of the people have entered the premise of the cities. As long as you set up a restricted area around the flying club to prevent people from peeping at close range, seeing things in the air will not help them much. The Northwest has already crossed the initial state of the aircraft, and even the Northwest 1 has already crossed the initial aircraft. Approaching the mainstream of World War II aircraft, a gap of 20 years. There is no such anti-heaven artifact as an all-in-one machine, just look at the appearance. Instead of helping them, it will make them take countless detours.
For example, in the era of ordinary automobiles, you suddenly get an electronically controlled car, although it looks like the general structure is still the same, under the premise that the electronic engineering has not reached a certain level, it brings a place of confusion.
The Northwest Flying Club, in the interior of the Northwest, is strictly managed, only in a specific area, some because of the emergence of the Northwest, their own technology, young people who have money, compared to other projects, are more willing to sway their energy into flying, this kind of overcoming the earth's gravity, the feeling of flying freely in the sky, is really great.
The training aircraft based on the light two-seater version of the Northwest Type 1 as a template, since 1911, has been mass-produced, and the total number has reached 5,200 units, and these aircraft, with 10-20 units as a unit, are distributed in more than 200 city-level administrative divisions in the northwest, with a little more in the core area and a little less in the remote area, so as to ensure that there is enough demand in each place.
Relative to the military, all by the northwest to provide expenses, these flying clubs are for-profit organizations, these clubs have dues, membership fees relative to consumption, only accounted for about 60%, the rest is the northwest state subsidies, for some talented, the club will also be specially tracked, for some outstanding to provide a certain amount of financial support, so that they can from the junior class, gradually into the intermediate, or even senior, of course, since there is help, there must be requirements, for their requirements, other are very simple, The most important thing is that when war breaks out, you must join the army unconditionally.
The trainees of the advanced class, to a certain extent, can already be regarded as quasi-pilots, such an academy, the flight hours are generally about 700-800 hours, and they have basically mastered the light Northwest Type 1 training aircraft, and even the main combat aircraft in the Northwest that they have come into contact with, as long as they enter the army for about a month of assault training, they will be a qualified pilot.
There are more than 280 flight schools nationwide, and there are as many as 170,000 registered flight students, including 80,000 junior students, 60,000 intermediate students, and 30,000 senior students, which is also the basis of the Chinese Air Force in the future.
Because of the training aircraft, these pilots are good at flying light aircraft, and it should be relatively easy to directly control China's main fighters in the future, but it is difficult for bombers, even if it is a bomber of the first type in the northwest, the take-off weight is more than 5 tons, not to mention the heavy-duty strategic bomber designed in the future, the take-off weight goes directly to 45 tons or even 50 tons.
The emergence of Yang Yuanzhao, the computer is popular, but it can not be produced, I don't understand the principle, this computer is at most the office computer of later generations, and the deeper level of application, such as numerical control, computer simulation, computer design, is very weak, a small item in the First Five-Year Plan is the simulated aircraft, but this is just simple, so that the operator is familiar with some parameters of the aircraft and the role of the buttons, Reduce the familiarization process for learners.
The training of bomber pilots can only take the original model, but among all aircraft, the consumption of bombers is the largest, heavy body, huge bomb load, fuel consumption is at least five times more than that of ordinary fighters, and fighter fighters since the control is different, in the early 20th century in this era of exploration, it can really be said that the cost is huge.
Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that the northwest would not deliberately join the European war, but once it joined, it would inevitably be in the most dangerous state, at least Germany could not resist it. Defeat is like a mountain, once defeated, must be quickly reversed, and strategic bombers are the best way, 20,000 meters at an altitude, more than 700 kilometers per hour strategic bomber, the huge fuselage has enough self-defense firepower, is the overlord of the entire sky, can carry up to 25 tons of bombs, this brings deterrence, absolutely not airships can be compared to the United States, 700 kilometers per hour, even if the other party finds out, it is too late to change, it can easily reach hundreds, or even thousands of aircraft, not only on land, It is also a huge support for the sea.
Although Yang Yuanzhao doesn't know much about the main fighters of World War II, but the classic bombers like B29 still know, he pushes the aero engine as much as possible, especially the research of turboprops, and estimates that it is almost the same, so he takes B29 as the standard for new strategic bombers.
It seems that the target must be set high, in order to give full play to the subjective initiative of the researchers, according to the feedback from the base seed system, the development of the strategic bomber has entered the end, basically reached the standard, and even exceeded, this exceedance, more is the use of turboprop engines to replace the original piston engine.
Take B29 as an example, the maximum cruising range is more than 5000 kilometers, the combat radius is about 2600 kilometers, the heavy strategic bomber in the northwest, not only the horsepower is much greater than the B29, the maximum take-off weight is more than 20% of the B29 bomber, the excellent fuel consumption of the turboprop, so that his combat radius has reached an astonishing 4200 kilometers, compared with the range of the B29 is only 1000 kilometers.
The combat radius is more than 1600 kilometers, maybe it is nothing in later generations, with air tankers, many things can be ignored, but in this era, it is simply a big killer, as long as the northwest wants, in the range where the island airport is located, it is the attack range, 25 tons of bomb load, with a radius of 4200 kilometers in the center of the circle, this is 55 million square kilometers of land, with China's current land of less than 11 million square kilometers, plus the sea is enough to shroud.
In later generations, the reason why the South China Sea issue has been unresolved for a long time is because in the entire South China Sea, no island or reef can have an airport, China does not have the range of a fighter plane, and the one that can support escorting ships in the South China Sea is only a few minutes at most, which is a jet fighter, not the current turboprop, and the emergence of strategic bombers will further stabilize the four major Chinese inland seas, and even after Borneo, the whole of Southeast Asia is within the scope of shrouding.
In this way, unless a war is waged in the vast Pacific Ocean, the area around the northwest, the part of the Pacific Ocean close to Asia, the whole of Southeast Asia, and even distant Australia are all within the scope of the northwest strategic bombers, and when a formation of more than 1,000 planes poses a great threat to any group target, this is the greatest guarantee for being invincible.
