Chapter 287: Seizing the Young Master? A 1.2-kilometer voyage?
"Hiss—is this the surprise you have for us?"
"This plane is way too big..."
After seeing the full picture of the plane in front of him, General Chen took a breath and sighed.
Unlike ordinary fighter jets, its fuselage is about the same size as an ordinary truck.
The plane in front of me is incredibly large.
Just by visual inspection, General Chen could roughly determine the length of the plane.
It is nearly 40 meters long and more than 30 meters wide, almost the size of two basketballs.
Its height of nearly 10 meters is as high as a three-story building.
Next to this behemoth, although humans cannot be said to be as small as ants, they also seem insignificant.
You know, even the military An-2 transport plane that brought me here from the imperial capital was only about 12 meters long.
In other words, the size of the plane in front of us is enough to match four transport planes!
Even with General Chen's extensive knowledge, he could not imagine that there was any aircraft on the entire Blue Planet that could match the size of the aircraft in front of him.
After all, even the B29 strategic bomber of the United States has a fuselage length of only a little over 30 meters...
However, Liu Yadong, who was standing by, did not focus all his attention on the huge size of the plane.
Instead, I paid special attention to the appearance of the aircraft.
And a moment later, he was so amazed by the beauty of the plane that he even forgot to breathe...
Although it is not known what the exact purpose of this aircraft is.
But the unique design style of this aircraft struck Liu Yadong's heart like a bolt of lightning.
It is different from the smooth and elegant fuselage curves of the JF-17 fighter jet designed by Fang Yu.
The design style of this aircraft is particularly rough and masculine.
The wide swept wings, the square air intakes on both sides of the fuselage, and the huge body make this aircraft turn into an extremely ferocious bird of prey in the sky, giving a feeling that it is ready to devour anyone at any time.
Not to mention the aesthetically advanced light gray camouflage paint on its fuselage, which makes the aircraft look very technological.
If appearance equals combat power, then there's no doubt that this aircraft's combat power, on Blue Planet, if it claims to be second, no one would dare to claim to be first...
Just the static aura it radiates is enough to make people shudder.
Liu Yadong couldn't even imagine what kind of momentum it would be if this plane took off into the air...
"Handsome! So handsome!"
"Is this really an aircraft manufactured by our Dragon Country, and not a model used in a science fiction movie?"
"It's so sci-fi! It's so sci-fi!"
"..."
The moment they saw the plane appear, everyone present began to whisper to each other.
Even General Chen and others who were used to seeing big scenes were shocked by the appearance of this aircraft.
For a moment, they were all stunned and couldn't utter a word.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Chen, are you satisfied with the surprise I prepared for you?"
At this time, seeing the two people who had been petrified, Fang Yu asked with a smile.
"Satisfied! Very satisfied!"
General Chen heard Fang Yu's voice before he could react.
Liu Yadong immediately nodded and spoke rapidly.
But then, he asked awkwardly.
“It’s just that I really don’t understand it.”
"Just looking at the size of this plane, I think it should be a bomber or a transport plane."
"But, I also saw that the engine you installed on it is the same turbojet engine as the Xiaolong."
"So, is this a fighter or a bomber?"
"Fang Yu, stop keeping us in suspense and explain it to us!"
After hearing Liu Yadong's words, Fang Yu nodded, and then began to introduce the plane in front of everyone.
"Since it's Mr. Liu who asked the question, it would be impolite for me to act arrogantly."
"To tell you the truth, this aircraft is the first one I designed for Dragon Country. It's a strategic bomber developed and manufactured entirely by us!"
"And I named it 'Backfire'!"
"Strategic...bomber? Backfire?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yadong and General Chen first showed an expression of "as expected".
But then, something felt wrong.
They understood what bombers meant.
But, what exactly is a strategic bomber?
However, although they were a little confused, they did not interrupt Fang Yu, but continued to listen silently.
Because they knew Fang Yu would definitely give them some scientific knowledge...
"This Backfire strategic bomber has a fuselage length of 42.46 meters, a height of 11.05 meters, and a wingspan of 34.28 meters."
"The maximum take-off weight is 124 tons and the maximum weapons load is 24 tons."
"The maximum ceiling is 13300 meters and the combat radius is 6800 kilometers (with auxiliary fuel tanks)."
"And the distance of a single voyage reaches 1.2 kilometers..."
"Mr. Duo?! You mean Mr. Duo?!"
After hearing Fang Yu's introduction to this point, General Chen and Liu Yadong, who had been holding back their words, showed expressions of horror on their faces at the same time.
He didn't care about anything else and interrupted Fang Yu's introduction.
No.
A single flight distance of 1.2 kilometers?
You should know that the circumference of the entire earth at the equator is only 4 kilometers.
You said that this plane, after being fully fueled, can fly a quarter of the equator?
Could it be that I'm hallucinating because I've been overworked lately?
But Liu Yadong's thoughts were deeper than General Chen's.
1.2 kilometers, what does this mean?
How far is John's country, the westernmost point of the European continent?
The straight-line distance from Long Country to John Country is only 8800 kilometers.
Although the homeland of the United States is separated from Dragon Country by the entire Pacific Ocean.
But the distance from the imperial capital to the capital of the United States is only 11172 kilometers.
In other words, as long as this bomber is prepared to perish together with the enemy.
He has the opportunity to fly into the airspace of any country.
What this means is self-evident...
