Chapter 315 The Eagle Spreads its Wings

The dream of flying has become a part of mankind since then. The feeling of being able to embrace white clouds can only be known by flying.

-Sword Empire Air Force Pilot Duben

Of course, Arkado must not have blamed Linria after waking up, but Linria always avoided him, so that Arcado had no choice but to focus on the important eagle plan.

The aircraft code-named Eagle has been designed. Although it is a bit similar to the American Mustang P-51 fighter, it can't fly. The staff and design engineers racked their brains to reduce the weight of this guy.

The closest experiment to takeoff was that the aircraft had been lifted off the ground, but broke its wings in an instant. Even the experimental pilot inside had a fracture all over his body and is still lying in the hospital.

The material strength of the wing made the single-wing aircraft a luxury, and the design work hosted by Anthony himself also got into trouble.

These days, Arcado led the staff to finally improve the whole design, and today is the day of the improved aircraft test flight.

3,2,1! Take off!" The commander on the console shouted with a loudspeaker. Arcado and the designers in the stands stared at the "airplane" on the runway.

An old propeller plane swayed on the runway, with the roar of the engine, like a staggering old man moving towards the distance.

The plane has two layers of canvas-coated wings, which are connected with thin wire and brackets to provide enough lift for this veritable propeller biplane.

If you see such a scene, many people may think of the scene of the plane taking off during the First World War, with a white sword logo painted on the body of the plane.

"Your Majesty, we use steel for the tail wing of the Eagle Project. We can't find a substitute for the high-quality wood you proposed. The high-quality wood provided by the Elf Forest does not meet our requirements." Anthony introduced briefly.

He knew that he didn't have to be afraid that Arkado would not understand, because these nouns and design plans came from Arcado's imagination. Arkado may be the only emperor in the world who understands this work, so Anthony really doesn't need to explain.

"It doesn't matter. This is already very good. I think you have completely succeeded in the sliding test. What I want to see is take-off and carry it on." Arcado stared at the plane in the distance and said.

Soon, the biplane swaying off the ground and began to climb up and down slowly. The small fuselage is also getting farther and farther away.

After turning deftly in the air, the plane slowly flew back after turning into a small black spot.

Of course, this plane has no supercharged cockpit, can't put away the landing gear, and there is no ejection seat. Everything is still in a very primitive state, but it is indeed the first time that human beings have flown into the blue sky with their own wisdom.

Everyone cheered, and everyone burst into tears of excitement. Most of the people here participated in the design of such a complex machinery for the first time, and it was enough to surpass any previous invention of flying machinery, which made them crazy.

The plane hovered in the sky for several weeks and slowly landed on the runway. Because it was the first test, the landing did not go smoothly. Finally, it hit the lawn, damaged two front landing gears, and then stopped.

Please remember Colonel Duben, the first pilot in human history to soar in the sky. He reached at least 50 times the speed of a balloon in the sky.

How's it going? Are you hurt?" Arcado came forward and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine!" Colonel Duben said.

"How does God feel?" Arcado continued to ask, and there was a large group of staff behind him recording every sentence in detail, which was first-hand detailed information.

Du Ben introduced his feelings in the sky in detail, analyzed the causes of some problems, and made a limited analysis of the feelings he felt about airflow and other interference problems, the aircraft's own problems, etc.

"It's very cold. I think if you want to fly higher, you should have warmer clothes." Du Ben proposed.

"Well, it seems that I still underestimated the impact of temperature. How about the goggles? How about using it?" Arcado asked.

"Well, it's very comfortable, better than the kind of goggles borrowed from the Elf Forest." Du Ben said.

"Tell Hubert to produce 5,000 pairs of wind mirrors." Arcado turned to a recorder and said, "Redesign the center of gravity of the plane, increase the co-pilot position, install a steel crossbow on it, and prepare 100 bullets!"

Obviously, Arcado can't wait to apply his new invention to the field of war: "And! The hanger is loaded under the plane. I want this kind of plane to carry at least one aviation bomb!"

"Your Majesty, the load of the plane?" Anthony came forward and asked, "Now it seems that with so many things, it may not be able to fly!"

"Amplify the plane and give up part of the speed, as long as it can surpass the dragon and bald eagle, but be sure to install a huge weapon system! I want the whole Yavia continent to tremble under the wings of the air force!" Arcado said stubbornly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but in that case, we will have to redesign and test it." Anthony bowed his head and said.

"I'm very satisfied with your speed at this stage. As long as you come up with specific results next month, this is not difficult for you, is it? With today's experimental data, this is not difficult for you, is it? Arcado looked at Anthony and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will be able to complete the task!" Anthony bowed his head and promised.

"Also, since the eagle has almost taken shape, I want you to study the enlarged version of this aircraft. The two fuselages can be connected horizontally through wings, and the four pilots are simplified to two without installing a weapon system, but it will carry 6 aviation bombs!" Arcado's eyes shined like a demon. The example of the Allies successfully weakening the Allied Powers by strategic bombing is well known in the original world. How can he miss it?

"Yes!" This time, not only Anthony, but also many scientists behind Anthony replied, "Your Majesty, I will do my best to complete the task!"

"Anthony, what you are making is a slaughter machine that is more terrible than tanks, but it is also one of the greatest inventions that will change the future of mankind. The devil's sickle or the angel's feathers, the key is who is using it, not the technology itself!" Arcado knew what Anthony was hesitating about and said softly, "I'm incarnating the devil now to end the evil in my hands!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm stupid!" Anthony knew that Arcado was not lying, so he suppressed his reluctant expression and bowed his head and said respectfully.
