Chương 73: Chapter 74
After sending away a group of people preparing for the rubber crisis, Carust reported the situation to the crown prince. Now Edel trusted his captain of the bodyguard so much that he left the matter to him.
After more than a month, a guard came to report that Henry Coanda and the group had completed the task assigned to them by the army and planned to invite the crown prince to check it out. Thinking that this was the first batch of military aircraft in Romania, Edel agreed and planned to take a look at it during the handover.
was at the original flight base the next day, now called Coanda Aircraft Factory. Edel met Henry Coanda and his assistant Firaicu, who had been discharged from the hospital, and Major Ankerdra, the newly formed Army Air Corps officer.
"Coanda, how do you feel after being discharged from the hospital." Edel asked with concern, the famous Romanian aviator.
"I was so bad in the hospital that I couldn't see my beloved plane." Koanda answered the crown prince before continuing. "In fact, this time I designed the aircraft for the army, mainly my assistant Firaicu. The ability is not worse than mine, but I have better luck than him."
After finishing talking, Keanda pulled his assistant to try to sell him.
"I have known your assistant a long time ago, and he is also a great pilot." After Edel finished speaking to Coanda, he reached out and held it to Firaicu. "This time I can build to help the army build aircraft, and I have a profound influence on you, Mr. Felayku."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, it is my honor to be able to help Romania."
After hearing what Felayku said, Edel released his hand and talked to the army receiving officer Ankedra. "After receiving this batch of aircraft, you have to think about their usefulness. In the future, the aircraft should not only be used for reconnaissance, it requires your new department to think carefully."
After hearing the words of the crown prince, the current head of the aviation team replied. "His Royal Highness, we will pay attention to what you said."
I'm almost talking about it when I see it, Koanda said. "His Royal Highness, let's go see the plane first?"
"Also."
After hearing the crown prince's reply, several people walked outside the hangar and saw eight planes that had already been built. At this time, Felayku came out to salute the crown prince and talked about it. "Because it was mainly designed by me, let me explain the general data of this aircraft for your Royal Highness."
After hearing Felayku's words, Edel and his party stood by the plane and nodded to indicate that the explanation could begin.
"His Royal Highness, we named this aircraft "Pioneer". It has two wings. The fuselage is 13.2 meters long, the wingspan is 10.1 meters, and the distance between the wings is 1.2 meters. The main body of the fuselage is a hollow steel frame structure. Added a wood surface stitched skin. For the engine of the nose, we use a French earth rotary cylinder engine. We added a circle of iron around the seat to prevent the ground from shooting the aircraft from harming the pilot..."
Hearing Feilaiku's continuous explanation of the performance of the aircraft, Edel suddenly realized that perhaps this Coanda's assistant is the real aircraft designer, and Coanda is more of an adventurer and aviator.
I didn't know that Edel suddenly took a fancy to his Firaicu more, and asked after explaining the structure of the aircraft. "His Royal Highness, what do you think of this aircraft?"
After hearing what Felayku said, Edel took his mind back and continued to ask. "What is its flying distance and elevation now?"
Hearing the crown prince's inquiry, Felayku replied. "Now this aircraft is stronger than we built before, so its flying distance is slightly shorter than ours before. The maximum flying distance is about 80 kilometers, and the lift-off limit is about 3,000 meters."
After listening to Firaicu's commentary, Edel knew that the current airplane was just a display, so he could only continue to encourage him.
"Good job. You must continue to strive to develop more advanced aircraft. Let's take a look at the pilots' operations."
After the crown prince finished speaking, I saw the head of the air team Ancordra waved to the people next to him. Immediately a pilot got on an airplane, and the staff next to him started to start the engine, and the airplane gradually accelerated into the sky.
Eder looked at the flying plane and whispered to Coanda and Firaicu next to him. "Now this 'pioneer' aircraft can only meet the basic needs of the military, and the range is still too short, and its practicability is not very good."
After Coanda and Firaicu heard what the crown prince said, they looked at each other and finally asked Coanda. "His Royal Highness, what kind of aircraft do you think can meet the needs of the army?"
"The maximum distance of the aircraft should be more than 120 kilometers, preferably 150 kilometers. The airborne time is more than forty minutes, and the current lift-off limit is fine. It is better to be stronger." Edel said of the first battle. Earlier aircraft data, which was finally obtained from previous life investigations, was so impressive.
Facing the unusual request of the crown prince, the two felt a lot of pressure. After some eye contact, Coanda told the crown prince. "His Royal Highness, we will incorporate your requirements into the manufacture of our next aircraft, and I believe we will make this aircraft in one or two years."
"I am waiting for your good news. If you really do it, I plan to let the army purchase more than 24 of this new aircraft." After making the request, the crown prince gave carrots as usual.
"Thank your Highness for your support."
After caring about the plane, the crown prince began to care about the pilot. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
"Major Ankerdra, is this plane in the sky now being piloted by your aviation team?"
"Yes, your Highness, we sent 12 soldiers three months ago to learn how to fly airplanes. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing flight demonstrations, and it is our best pilot, Jan Ilascu."
Edel suddenly became interested in the name and asked. "Talk about this Jan Ilascu."
"Good lord."
Under Major Ankerdra's explanation, Edel learned that Jan Ilascu was born in Iasi and his family is a self-employed farmer. When he was young, he was called to a choir by a local priest because of his cute appearance. The priest taught him how to read. When he was 11 years old, his father was sent to school to study, and his grades were relatively good. When he was 18 years old, he did not continue to study due to family reasons. Later, he joined the army and was selected as a pilot by Major Ankerdra.
After Major Ankerdra finished speaking, this Jan Ilascu also piloted the plane to land smoothly on the ground.
"Ilascu, come here." Major Ankedra called to the first pilot of the army who had just been flying.
After this Jan Erascu took off his flying cap, everyone said a handsome guy in their hearts. Edel only talked about the replica Leonardo in his heart, or the big ship version.
The replica Leonardo walked up to Edel and bent over and said after saluting. "I have seen your Highness."
"Hello, Ilascu. Major Ankerdra has mentioned you to me, and I hope you can make a greater contribution to the army."
"Yes, my lord, I will do better."
After Ilascu retreated, Edel spoke to the three of them. "This is Romania's first practical aircraft. I hope that more new aircraft will appear in Romania in the future."
"His Royal Highness the meeting."
