章 596: 555 Qi Army Tank

This time, Qin Xiong finally witnessed the strange aircraft with inverted seagull wings, named the Stuka Dive Bomber.

In fact, very few within the Tang Army understood this name, and generally, they just thought it was the designers at the Great Tang Aviation Group's idea of a bad joke.

In reality, these designers were merely continuing with the naming convention set by the chief designer, Tang Mo. When Tang Mo presented the design concept for this aircraft, he had scribbled the odd word "Stuka" in a corner of the blueprint.

After the project was green-lighted, the engineers of the Great Tang Group simply started calling this type of aircraft Stuka, just as they would call the FW-190 fighter butcher.

It's unlikely that Tang Mo would ever name his own fighter FW-190, nor did he wish to carry on with the name butcher bird—so he decided to simply drop a character, renaming it to Butcher.
