Vladlov is just a mechanic and is not sure whether the two suggestions proposed by Wang Xuexin are practical for "Pull 5", but he believes that another person must know.
Therefore, after Vladelov separated from Wang Xuexin, he immediately went to find Yaroslav, another bear consultant.
Although Major Yaroslav came with the logistics force, he is a scientific researcher and a technician who will assist China in establishing the "La-5" production line in the future.
In fact, there are not many technical problems in establishing the production line of "La 5", because this fighter has been finalized and entered the mass production process in Mao Xiong.
What's more, this kind of wooden fighter plane is very cheap, and its main purpose is to win with quantity. So what if there are some minor flaws?
For example, Yaroslav knew that the engine life of the "La 5" was very short... This fighter uses Mao Xiong's M82 air-cooled radial engine, which only passed a 50-hour engine test in April last year.
Senior officials had estimated that its 100-hour engine test could be completed in June last year, but due to the sudden outbreak of the war with Hans, various facilities were bombed and then urgently relocated, so it has not been completed until now.
In fact, that was just the test situation of the M82 engine, and it was actually much more severe than the data showed.
Because Yaroslav has participated in the testing of several "La 5" engines:
The first unit's piston was damaged after 35 hours of operation and could not operate.
The second unit developed an oil leak after running for 48 hours and had to suspend testing.
Although the third unit ran for 70 hours, which was much longer than expected... But Yaroslav understood that it was a cheating method: the test conditions were conducted when the cylinder head temperature was only 170 degrees, and the actual temperature of the aircraft during flight
The cylinder head temperature is approximately 240 degrees.
In short, on the battlefield, the "La 5" is required to fly at a sprint speed of 100 meters, but during the test, it is in a walking state to calculate how long it can run.
Yaroslav has always been troubled by this problem. Can such an aircraft defeat the enemy in actual combat?
At this moment, Vladelov called a report outside the door.
"Come in!" Yaroslav didn't even raise his head.
After entering the office, Vladlov saluted Yaroslav and said: "Comrade Major, the Chinese battalion commander is here!"
Yaroslav just said "hmm" and asked: "Is this what you came here to tell me?"
Yaroslav did not take the Chinese battalion commander seriously, although he knew that the Chinese battalion commander invented many things.
but……
Aircraft are different. They are not something that can be participated in with a little cleverness or imagination. They require extremely rigorous demonstrations, experiments, test flights and modifications.
"No!" Vladelov replied: "He made two improvement suggestions for 'La 5', and I think I should report them to you!"
Yaroslav was a little doubtful about what he heard. He raised his head and looked at Vladlov with disbelief, and said: "Comrade Captain, this does not seem to be the scope of your consideration. You are not even a mechanic."
It doesn’t even count, you are a pilot, I hope you can remember your current identity!"
"Understood, Comrade Major!" Vladelov stepped forward and answered.
Yaroslav thought the conversation was over, so his eyes returned to the design drawings again.
But after waiting for a while, he found that Vladelov was still standing beside him with no intention of leaving.
This time, Yaroslav's eyes were a little angry: "I think it must be the Chinese battalion commander who gave you some benefit, right?"
"No, Comrade Major!" Vladlov replied: "But I still think you should listen to his ideas!"
"Okay!" Yaroslav spread his hands helplessly.
Although he is a major, as a researcher, he actually has no authority to command pilots like Vladelov...
The Mao Xiong system is a bit strange. They do have military ranks, but their command on the battlefield is not entirely based on military ranks.
For example, commanders in the Ministry of Internal Affairs can in principle command ordinary officers with higher ranks.
For researchers like Yaroslav, their military titles are more of a virtual title. To have real power, of course, they are commanders like Vladlov who are directly on the front line.
That's why the current situation exists. On the surface, Vladov is reporting to Yaroslav, but in fact... Yaroslav can't even listen to this report.
Vladlov was already ready. He took out a drawing of the "Pull 5" from his bag and placed it in front of Yaroslav, saying: "Comrade Major, this is what he said: First, remove the engine hood.
The spliced parts are all integrated into upper and lower opening and closing parts, which can reduce the surface gaps as much as possible and change the gaps to the horizontal direction."
Yaroslav couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard this suggestion. This seemed to be a feasible plan, and it was not difficult to implement. He just didn't know why the R&D personnel didn't think of this... Maybe it was because of the urgent start of production that they didn't think carefully enough.
Bar!
This also aroused Yaroslav's interest, and he asked: "What about the second suggestion?"
"Lengthen the middle section of the wing!" said Vladelov: "But he couldn't explain the reason. He just felt that... it should be lengthened!"
Yaroslav touched his chin. After Vladelov said this, he also felt that the wings of the "Pull 5" seemed a bit short.
and……
It's not easy for this guy to come up with the idea of lengthening the middle section of the wing.
Because if you want to lengthen the wing, the middle section is the easiest.
The front wing is connected to the fuselage. If it is to be lengthened, it will inevitably involve changes to the fuselage connection part.
The wingtips will have a great impact on the flight of the aircraft and cannot be changed easily.
Only the middle section of the wing...lengthening here will not have much impact on the overall aerodynamic layout of the aircraft, but on the other hand, it can achieve the purpose of lengthening the wing.
Obviously, if you weren't an expert in aircraft design, you wouldn't have specifically strengthened the "middle wing".
Thinking of this, Yaroslav said to Vladelov: "Where is he? I want to see him!"
"At the headquarters!" Feradlov replied: "He is reviewing the work at the airport."
When walking out of the office, Feradlov also reminded Yaroslav: "Comrade Major, you know that this Chinese battalion commander has an extraordinary status and identity in China. For example, he is actually in charge of this airport.
Of, so..."
"I know, Comrade Captain!" Yaroslav rolled his eyes, brushed the major rank on his shoulder with his hand, and cursed secretly: "Fuck the rank!"
