Unparalleled True Technology

"Transport planes can also take off and land vertically. Our new boss is really a 'genius'."

In a production workshop belonging to Wen Ming's aircraft manufacturing factory, a technician looked at the aircraft in front of him and said with some sarcasm: "Such a large production workshop does not produce models that are ready for mass production, but only I really don’t understand how rich people think about producing a new, untested aircraft.”

Another technician next to him said: "So you are not rich, just a technician."

They are all looking at the only aircraft in this production workshop. Normally, although an aircraft production workshop cannot produce aircraft in an assembly line, a production workshop does not only manufacture one aircraft.

The manufacturing process of an aircraft usually only refers to the component manufacturing, component assembly and final assembly of the aircraft body. The other most critical parts of the aircraft, such as engines, instruments, airborne equipment and other accessories, etc., are manufactured in other professional factories and will not be included in the scope of aircraft manufacturing.

The production workshop of an aircraft manufacturing factory will continue to manufacture another "like" aircraft after it has manufactured a "like" aircraft. Therefore, in some aircraft manufacturing factories exposed on the Internet, there will be several aircrafts in one workshop.

After the components manufactured by other professional factories, such as the engine, etc. are in place, they will start to assemble and complete the final steps of manufacturing an aircraft.

It can be seen that in Wenming's production workshop, there is only one "Looking Goods" aircraft at this time, and all the technicians seem very bored. Because the important parts of this "looking cargo" aircraft are not in place yet.

"I really doubt that our boss built this plane just to make a movie."

The technician who first ridiculed said, "Didn't he invest in Spielberg's movie? Maybe this plane is just a movie prop, because I don't think it is possible for a transport plane to take off and land vertically."

Another technician retorted: "The film he invested in Spielberg is an advertising film for Jurassic Island. It tells the story of dinosaurs. How could this kind of aircraft be used? Besides, that film The film seems to have been fully filmed and is in post-production, and it seems that it will be released in these two months."

"As for the vertical take-off and landing of the transport aircraft, isn't there a Do31?"

The Do31 mentioned by the technician, the full name is DornierDo31, is a vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft developed by West Germany to meet NATO's strategic needs. Of course it was the 1960s, before West and East Germany merged.

Do31 is also, so far, the only transport aircraft in the world that can take off and land vertically.

"You mean the kind of transport plane that only three were manufactured, and the remaining two were used for exhibition?" The technician who spoke first said mockingly: "If that kind of transport plane can also be regarded as a real transport plane, then why? Without mass manufacturing?"

"Besides, Do31 is equipped with a total of 10 engines in order to realize the vertical take-off and landing function, and the thrust of each engine reaches 68.95 kN. How many engine positions are designed for this aircraft we manufactured?"

"Also, if I remember correctly, the range of the Do31 is only 1,800 kilometers. With such a poor endurance, is it really useful as a transport aircraft?"

Another technician couldn't refute it. In fact, even he was skeptical about whether this transport plane could fly.

It is definitely possible to fly, as long as the engine and other components are installed, but for the aircraft, it is definitely not enough to fly. It also needs to fly high, fast, and far, and the flight time must be guaranteed.

Even if it is a prototype of a well-designed experimental model, a crash may occur during the first test flight, let alone a prototype of an aircraft whose design has not been verified at all?

From the looks of it,

This plane doesn't look like a transport plane at all. Except for the disc-like structure of the tail, the shape of the entire transport plane is more like the lines of a fighter jet, rather than the relatively round feeling of a transport plane.

The position of the wings is on the back of the aircraft, which is a bit like the design and structure of a transport aircraft, because conventional civilian aircraft or fighter jets have wings on both sides, lower than the horizontal line of the back of the aircraft. Only new transport aircraft that focus on transportation functions, such as C-17 Global Overlord, An-225, etc., will make the wings and the back of the aircraft on the same level.

But if compared with those transport planes, the size of this plane is undoubtedly much smaller.

The C-5 transport aircraft of the U.S. Air Force is 75.54 meters long and 19.85 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a seven-story building. The transport plane designed by Ke Wenming's 'research team' is only 36.7 meters in length and 9 meters in height.

According to the jokes of these technicians when they built this transport plane, it is entirely possible to use a C-5 transport plane to install this transport plane.

As for the reserved engine positions, there are only three, one under each of the two wings, and one at the bottom of the aircraft.

It is understandable that the ones on both sides are the conventional engine positions, but what is the role of the engine at the bottom of the plane?

VTOL?

If the bottom of the aircraft is equipped with an engine to achieve vertical take-off and landing, then the F-35 will not be envied by the air forces of so many countries.

It is precisely because of the confusion in the manufacturing process and the lack of a positive response that the high-level executives only ordered them to manufacture according to the design drawings, so many people in this production workshop, or in this aircraft manufacturing factory, have resentment.

"Wen Ming seems to be here soon, tell me, do we have a chance to question him?"

"I think you want to change your job, don't you want to go back to Bombardier? If they needed us, they wouldn't sell us to Wen Ming's umbrella company together with the factory."

"Actually, I was very grateful to Umbrella Company and Wen Ming. Otherwise, we would be living in the midst of zombies. But he wasted money and made unrealistic planes. If we fail and shut down our factory, then we will have to look for jobs again.”

...

When the new employees in Wen Ming's new company were dissatisfied with him, he finally arrived at the production workshop and saw the first plane he made.

There is no difference between the appearance and the design drawings, and the specific parameters need to be verified step by step after Downers brings the team he formed.

It is difficult to use molds in the production of aircraft. The parameters of all parts of each aircraft need to be verified repeatedly. After all, it is something that flies in the sky, which is different from the 'gadgets' that can be produced on an assembly line like cars.

Teresa Roy introduced Wen Ming to the person in charge of the factory, as well as related executives and technicians.

Wen Ming maintained his majesty as a boss throughout the whole process. He was expressionless when he should be expressionless, praised with a smile when he should be smiling, and criticized in a timely manner when he found some minor problems.

These Wenming are very skillful.

That is, when Wen Ming started to inspect the aircraft, a technical director of the factory raised some questions and reminded: "Boss, although the whole world knows that you are a genius, aircraft manufacturing is not a joke. When I started manufacturing, I denied the design drawings, but no one paid attention to it, and only let me manufacture according to the drawings."

"Now the plane is only short of the last manufacturing link to be able to go to the sky, but I still refuse to take responsibility for this plane, because in my opinion, this plane is flashy."

Such a straightforward reminder made Wen Ming's entourage look very unhappy. The person in charge of this factory hurriedly began to smooth things over. They all belonged to Bombardier before, and they left a bad impression when they first met the new boss. Do you want to hang out?

Wen Ming laughed and said, "Are you worried that after the engine is installed on this plane, it will crash during the test flight?"

Wen Ming's words surprised everyone else, except Teresa Roy who already knew Wen Ming's plan. Just like sailors never say words related to capsizes, say crashes in aircraft production workshops?

I'm afraid I'm not a fool.

Wen Ming ignored those strange gazes, and after hearing the affirmative answer from the technical director's face, he said with a smile: "How about making a bet, if the test flight really fails, how about I give you an extra year's salary as a bonus?" ? If the test flight is successful, how about deducting your salary for a year?"

Teresa Roy next to him looked helpless. He had already thought of what Wen Ming was going to do next. Naturally, he was going to lose, and he would lose with great fanfare.
