2548 The collision of wisdom 2

"So how did you solve it?" Marcel knew that this had already involved the specific engineering production process. These things were actually more important than the so-called design ideas. For example, everyone knows that carrier-based aircraft needs folding wings, so how to design folding wings? The folding wings of Japanese Zero fighters only fold the tip of the wing, while American aircraft can even fold from the root of the wing! This is the gap! After all, after folding the wings, you have to ensure the strength of the wings of the aircraft. This engineering design is really difficult for Japan before the 2nd World War.

"In a honest return to you, I can give you some tips. We use internal fillers to reduce friction." Henkel was also very slippery and said some constructive opinions. As for what the filler is and how to arrange and fix the filler, you can experiment slowly on it yourself...

"Filling?" Marcel frowned and fell into thinking. The concept of this so-called filler is too broad. It may be a real filler, or it may be just a protective film outside the rubber tank. It is difficult for Marcel to get real useful information from it.

"What a cunning old fox." Marcel said in his heart, but through his conversation with Henkel, Marcel could be sure that Bavaria has made great progress in aircraft design. He has entered the experimental stage and accumulated a large amount of material. There is no doubt that if this continues, the aviation industry of other countries will be dumped further and further by the Germans!

"Congratulations, you have once again reached the forefront of the world." Marcel said a little lonely. He felt that he had grasped the pulse of the times. He believed that as long as he had enough funds, he could accomplish all this, but unfortunately, isn't what he lacked the most now? It can be expected that for a long time, Air France will not engage in research and development in this area because there are not enough orders!

"In fact, these are all small problems. Whether it is the use of wing box structure or metallization of aircraft structure, these are easy to think of. Do you know what is the most difficult? It is the aerodynamic layout design of the aircraft, the design of the internal structure of the aircraft and the engine technology. If you want to make breakthroughs in the later aspects, you must conduct a lot of experiments to accumulate data. Then an efficient team will coordinate all factors to complete the final design. You are engaged in aviation engineering like me. You should be clear that the gap between the drawings and entities will be very large. In the future, maybe it may take several years for us to design an aircraft from the drawings to the test aircraft." Henkel said.

"In a few years, it takes more than just time and money." Marcel sighed.

"So, are you interested in cooperating with us? Even if we don't produce fighter jets, we can produce civilian aircraft, such as passenger aircraft or postal aircraft." Henkel asked. "Maybe we may also establish a pan-European aviation organization in the future to jointly develop some aircraft. After all, as I said just now, under the current circumstances, cooperation between Germany and France is the most beneficial thing for both countries."

This was not what Henkel promised out of thin air. After all, Henkel had asked the Crown Prince before that if Marcel was unwilling to produce fighter jets but had switched to the field of civil aircraft production, then Bavaria would accept it. Regarding this question, the Crown Prince said it was naturally acceptable. After all, the mb220 and mb160 designed by Marcel in history were very good products! Later Dassault not only produced fighter jets, but also sold more popular business jets!

"But I want to build my own airline, not work for others," Marcel said.

"This doesn't seem to be very conflicting. If you have enough funds in the future, you can naturally open a factory. However, for the technology developed by using Bavarian equipment and funds, we will definitely protect it in accordance with the Kingdom's confidentiality law. If there is a transcendence, the consequences will be very serious and may even undermine the relationship between Germany and France." Henkel said.

The Crown Prince really hopes that Marcel can participate in the future German aviation construction, and is willing to provide him with some preferential treatment, just like the Crown Prince did to Vittorio Kunibodi back then. However, this preferential treatment has a premise, that is, it cannot threaten the interests of Bavaria, and turning the elbow outward is absolutely eliminated! Therefore, various welfare benefits can be discussed, but there is no room for negotiation between law and confidentiality.

As for Henkel's so-called "If everyone doesn't want to see something, it will seriously damage the relationship between Germany and France, it is not an exaggeration. The reason is very simple. The feudal remnants of German society are still very serious, especially when state power is concentrated in one person, such as Bavaria!

The king's own likes and dislikes can completely affect the country's policy decisions. Based on the current Bavaria's position in the German Empire, it can also greatly affect the imperial decision-making. After all, at the end of the war, the crown prince advocated tolerance of France, which did indeed do. To put it bluntly, within Germany, if Ruprecht wanted to do something, he might not be able to do it, but if he wanted to have a bad thing, it would be too easy!

Ruprecht's situation of overwhelming power in China is not only a politician who can actually feel it, but even people with a little political sense know it! So, no matter whether you are monopoly capital or a head of state, they must consider how much the price they will pay if they are hated by the crown prince!

"Okay, if possible, then I'm willing to participate in the development of civil aircraft in your country." In the end, Marcel finally chose to compromise.

"Okay, but I still hope that before you officially join the Bavarian Aviation Design Bureau, you can make the things at hand to prove your ability and provide us with a pretty good reason. At least you should modify a very good racing machine based on the original. Of course, this racing machine must be very convenient to be able to be changed into a fighter, otherwise you will not be able to get enough orders!" Henkel said.

"No problem," Marcel said.

"Is it really okay?" Henkel asked.
