“Well, both CH53K and MI26 are great. They both have too many advantages to say what's good for them. ”

“Hmm...”

When I heard hope, Changsoo thought that both of them had too many advantages.

Given the performance of each gas, the price was similar, explaining the advantages of the two helicopters looking on horseback with hope to Changsoo who was thinking about the final selection.

“Super Stallions are less noisy and more maneuverable. MI26 helicopters can carry a lot of stuff and fly a long way, so I can't tell you what's really good about them. ”

“Yes, I can see that they're both good helicopter prices versus performance costs.”

Hope and Changsoo put two helicopters with too many advantages into this trouble, and I realized that the selection problem was harder than I thought.

“Mr. Director, let's think about it slowly and go see some airdrops. Air Feed Induction Ball and Lecturer”

“Let's hope so."

Once I saw the demilitarization of three helicopters, Changsoo and Hope took off, and C17 and AN124, each carrying Prototype 1 and 2 gases, took off on board the G650 private jet to see a demonstration of Magun Airdrop and Air Feed Volatile Organic.

Subsequently, two air feeders took off, followed by CH47K Super Chinook and CH53K Super Stellion helicopters, while two U.S. F16 fighters at Osan Air Force Base took off simultaneously to Kimpo, the target airdrop point.

Then there is a ministerial meeting at the level of almost one Air Transport Strategy Flight Group in the sky.

The first G650 in the air, followed by the strategic transporters C17 and AN124, followed by the helicopters CH47K, CH53K, KC130 and KC47.

Taking off from Osan and joining the US military, two F16fighters combined, two fighters, one transport helicopter, two civilian jets, two strategic transporters, a total of nine airborne feeders and various aircraft flew into the sky.

With the exception of Antonov and Milsa's aircraft, Boeing and Chicorski Rockma's aircraft are all military vessels, and they are also slightly disparate in their mix of civilian and military aircraft.

Meanwhile, at the drop point in Kimpo Plain, the target point, ground operatives dispatched from the United States and Russia smoke red and green smoke bullets to mark the drop markers, respectively, and the pilots who immediately discovered the markers open the rear doors of C17 and AN124 to prepare for the airdrop.

The first strategic transporter airdrop in Korean airspace

Regardless of the performance of the aircraft, however, heavy cargo airdrops are not an easy task.

Dropping large cargo in the air is also important for the performance of the aircraft, but the ability of the transporter pilot, ground operations personnel, and the role of the onboard roadmaster makes everyone nervous by looking at the transporter keeping the rear door open and elevated in line.

In particular, Antonov and Boeing's sales directors, who watch the demonstration outside the bulletproof car in the G650, are focused on their transporters with fists tight.

In that tension, a small parachute for extracting large cargo finally extends from Antonov AN124, followed by the C17 Globemaster.

When the small-sized extraction parachute hangs a parachute string with a large parachute pack and straightens behind the transporter and all the preparations for the drop are complete, the ground agent's countdown signal ends and the airdrop finally begins.

The locks on the transporter cargo inner roller, which were triggered by a green light signal from ground personnel, were unlocked and an additional extraction parachute for rapid extraction unfolded, with XHR1 Nos. 2 and 1 weighing 12 and 15 tons, respectively, popping out behind the aircraft.

Several super-sized parachutes that unfold in a pack hung from a parachute line immediately after the two stables were fully ejected from each aircraft.

The airdrop unfolds on the two large transporters once the large parachutes have successfully taken out the two knocking carriers and initiated a steady fall, as if they were throwing a slingshot.

Two extraction parachutes, six ultra-large parachutes and more than 12 tons of horse-drawn horseshoe under a total of eight parachutes are each floating in the air. I am proud of the hopes and expressions of Changsoo to see such a spectacle.

It is also a historic day for Guinea-Bissau as the world's first horse-drawn aerodrome, the first high-altitude aerodrome launched in AN124 and C17.

“Wow, Hope, look at the size of that parachute over there. It's a magnificent size. It's finally going to be possible to airdrop the Magun team...”

“But Chang Soo Director, it must be a bit difficult for you to get on a horse-drawn horse.

First of all, the angle from the transporter to the parachute is not unusual.

At first, when the extraction parachute exits the transporter completely, the orbit is almost full of rocks flying from Trebucet, so if you're on horseback, you're out of your mind. ”

“Yes, so hopefully, I will also have to undergo airborne descent training this time. ”

“Oh, right. Down the air... down the air! Me? ”

“That's why Dr. Nam is planting a new airborne landing control software on ROS for aerodroplanes, but as you can see right now, there's no guarantee that he will be safe by jumping into the yard as a lure.

Once the pilot has had his own parachute training, it will be easy to control his attitude when he is down on a real horse-drawn horse. ”

“Oh, a parachute... a parachute... a parachute I've never seen in the army."

“Well, on this occasion, our Navis cerebral pals have all decided to go for a parachute, and Dr. Nam has also decided to take part in a drop drill.”

“Oh, I guess I'll have to go to winter training and all. Are you going to send the newly selected test drivers? ”

“I guess so. Maybe there's a new girl in town, but I have to take that into account. She jumped a five-year-old in a foreign country.”

Hope and Changsoo told such stories, and long after the G650 pivoted over Kimpopyeong Yar, a large parachute was finally seen falling on the ground.

“Phew ~ ~ I can see that the drops are close to two high drops, except that low ball extraction is not a C130 or A400M model.”

“Still, we need to look at the damage. There may be a problem packing the drops when they fall. ”

“Sure, well, that's a matter for engineers waiting on the ground, and it's time to move on to the East Sea prize next.”

The two strategic transporters that completed this successful drop, the second airdrop test, were completed.

AN124 returned to Seoul Airport and the rest of the aircraft began to travel to the East Sea Merchant Islands east of Pohang for air transportation.

The reason for not doing it in Kimpo is that it is dangerous to do it on the East Sea. In the event of an accident, it is directly caused by civilian casualties.

So right now, all aircraft are moving to the East Sea where there's no civilian casualties for air-fuel training.

Passing the pohang season, we finally get out of the East Sea and start slowing down to prepare for the KC130 low-altitude, low-speed fuel demonstration at Lockheed Martin.

Boeing's KC47 aircraft is not capable of low-speed feeding because the KC47 aircraft itself does not match the speed of the helicopter.

Helicopters flying between 250 and 300 kilometres per hour and aircraft more than 700 kilometres per hour are not compatible.

There are very few airborne feedstocks available for helicopter feeding outside the United States, one of which is the KC130 of Lockheed Martin, and the wing itself is in the shape of a low-risk propeller, so it is possible to maintain flight altitude even if the helicopter feeds at speeds below 300 kilometres.

KC 130 lowers the G650 degree altitude and enters a circle flight to maintain low altitude and watch air-feed to get the maximum amount of lift.

Once the G650 is in place, the Chinook and Super Stillion helicopters approach left and right, each with two feed pipes extending directly from the KC130, allowing two helicopters to feed simultaneously.

“Wow, this is going to be really hard. It's air-fuelled with helicopters."

“That's right, Chang Soo's eyes are shaking."

“Changsoo Director and Hope, the helicopter has a downforce on the main rotor, so if you don't properly adjust the initial entry angle, the propeller may touch the feed hose or the feed cap to cause a major crash, and the feed cap may fall into the helicopter wind and not feed properly."

Both nodded as Landerman of Sikorski moved to explain to Changsu and Hope.

“Hmm, that sounds a little difficult. ”

“I see.”

“But all skilled pilots do well. ”

During the conversation, KC130 connected the feed nose of the Chinook helicopter and the Super Stellion helicopter to the nose cap at the end of the feed hose and finally entered the air feed.

I think it's been a while since two helicopters left the air-fuel plant one day.

Unlike the first time I was nervous, it ended too soon to collapse.

“Well, it's over really fast. ”

“Well, yes! Feeding ends sooner than you think. Now that you've seen competitor air feeders, you should see us. ”

Michael, who had become unfamiliar with promoting Lockheed Martin's feedstock, said to Changsoo with bitter thoughts.

“Sure.”

After completing the daemon straightening, two KC130 feeders and two helicopters are back out of line and out of the window of the elevated G650, two F16 fighters, two KC47 air feeders and one C17 appear to be floating.

Just like the KC130 before, you can only have one air-fuel instead of several at the same time.

Calculating the angle of entry for a high-speed flying fighter, two F16 fighters slowly began sticking under the air feeder.

Michael heats up his public relations campaign as he launches the Oil Demonstration.

“So we're going to pilot the KC47 air-fuel plant that we boast about. You see that little winged feed pipe over there? ”

“Yes, it looks good. ”

“You know, not as much as helicopter feeding, but aerial feeding of fighters demands a very high degree of flight capability. If you stick too far up behind the feeder, you get swept away by the vortex that sweeps behind the air feeder, and the fighter opens up, strikes the oil nose, and sticks too far down, it's hard to adjust the entry angle. ”

“Looks like it.”

“So let's start with the F16 fighter air-fuel. ”

As soon as the G650 sits behind this feeder, two US Air Force F16 fighters bite their tails and start feeding one at a time, just like the cars that are stretched out at the lowest fuel station.

Following this, all of today's demonstrations ended when the air feed of Strategic Transport C17 ended.

“Well done. Michael Director, the air-fuel scene is very impressive.

By the way, KC47 says it's hard to sell domestically and internationally because of the U.S. fiscal cutbacks, but by the beginning of next year, both of them will be on good terms, right?

I hope that the two KC130 will also be able to be seen by our company in the shortest possible time. ”

In the words of Changsoo, who stabbed Boeing's weakness, Michael swallowed up a new voice and replied.

“Of course. Do you have any idea, Director Chang? Hahaha. I will do so. ”

I was expecting to sell for about a year, but Michael felt relieved to hear that he was buying two.

But when this happens, it means that one company, not the Korean Air Force, rolls four air feeders, but it's Navis, not any other company.

Already with over 800 long term sales contracts, they generate more than $100 billion in sales on long term contracts alone, and rumors that only the net profits from sales of rare metals this year are at least $40 billion higher than those from other core technology affiliates.

I think maybe four airborne organic feeders and a dozen large transporters can be considered just as much a toy collection as the geeks in Silicon Valley.

In Michael's mind, the G650 jets and planes are returning to Seoul Airport, and all of the demystification will conclude with a sightseeing tour of the interior of the aircraft with hope and window.
