Testing the 2A biplane
1115 Words
The engineer, after saying the specifications, approached the biplane and gave it a minor blow on the wing.
“Its name is 2A, it belongs to the second generation biplane series and being the first, that is why the letter ‘A’ was used to name it.
I know it won’t be a very convincing name, but we can’t agree on a name, so ‘2A’ is a name that we consider appropriate.
Now I think you can start driving the biplane, Moritz . “
Moritz, who had already removed his monocle, put on black gloves, a leather cap and his goggles to fly.
When looking at his companions, he realized they were looking at him with pride and some jealousy, for which he showed a sincere smile.
“Don’t get that way. I’m sure in the future each of us will fly at the same time.
Everything to save the human lives that are being abused by those elves it may be complicated or one of us dies.
But as knights, it is our duty to guarantee the dominion of the heavens on the battlefield.
I am only the first man to step foot in the air force path, which fills me with pride, but that does not mean there are no other pioneers.
Of which I am sure that you will be part of them, it is just that I was lucky to be the first. “
His two companions gave a military salute and watched as Moritz climbed into the biplane.
Moritz, who was already in the biplane's cockpit, the first thing he did was put on the harness to secure himself to his seat.
He then turned up two switches on the control panel and took his flight stick, at which point the chief engineer took a propeller and pushed it down.
Making the propeller of his biplane start working. At that moment, he just wait for it to have enough strength to move out of the hangar.
After a few seconds, he moved towards the hangar exit, where he could see a man waving flags.
Following the indications of the flags, when he left the hangar, he headed to the left, where he accelerated his biplane.
On the runway, the biplane sped up as it began to fly over the tarmac of the runway.
In just a few seconds, Moritz’s biplane was flying in the sky, so from the ground everyone was watching the plane soar through the skies.
Moritz, who was controlling his biplane, could not control his shouts of joy because the adrenaline he was feeling was something spectacular.
Because the engine was more powerful than that of the triplanes he had driven in the past, he could try to do some stunts that he had not accomplished with the triplanes.
From outside the hangar, everyone was watching the amazing movements in Moritz’s sky.
Which did some risky stunts that put the performance of the biplane to the test.
Some engineers and scientists wrote some calculations in their notebooks, while others just enjoyed the beautiful demonstration.
For his part, Rémi stared at his partner’s blue plane and jokingly said, “In the sky, the Blue Baron is showing his qualities as a pilot. I’m sure he won’t stop making fun of us.”
Edrick laughed and patted Rémi on the back. “If he does, we can always earn he the right to test the biplane, while they build our own aircraft.”
President Meldos, who was looking at Moritz, kept repeating the nickname of the blue baron that Rémi had mentioned.
For him it was a formidable nickname, so making a sign to the engineer who had a camera, he asked him to come closer.
“When Moritz got to the runway, I want you to take a photo uploaded in the biplane and another where he is still next to his aircraft.
I think we will turn him into a public figure called the Blue Baron. With his figure, we should be able to attract the attention of recruits and citizens across the continent. “
The engineer nodded and left to prepare everything necessary to take the photo of the blue baron, while President Meldos turned his head to see the chief engineer
“We need to increase our number of pilots. That means we need more biplanes in production.
I don’t care if you have to use wooden zeppelin gliders, but I want it before the goddess’s protection ends.
I want to have an army of pilots ready to train more pilots. It doesn’t matter if there are not enough biplanes, pilots will be of great importance in the future.
We do not know what kind of creatures there may be in the sky in this magical world, but I can be sure of one thing and that is that I do not want the army to suffer for not having air superiority.
Also, try to investigate if some weapons that can use Anti Fortress rifle ammunition can be attached to the wings of the biplane.
Having a stronger weapon can be the difference between winning or dying, and before I forget, research a way to put a communication radio on the biplanes.
Communication must always be guaranteed. “
The chief engineer put on his serious face and nodded before walking away a bit to start talking to the engineers and scientists.
Moritz, who was flying, was completely unaware of the new name they had given him, as well as the changes that the biplane would have.
After flying for some time, Moritz started preparing to land his biplane.
Well, the gas meter was already in a reserve state, so it could not fly for much longer.
After moving the lever of his plane, he lined up with the runway as he began the descent of the biplane.
When the biplane could come to a complete stop, Moritz took off his goggles to fly and looked proudly at everyone who was watching.
Although, because of the photos they wanted to take, he had to stay in the cockpit of his biplane for a few minutes.
When they finished taking the first photo, they continued with the next photo, which was taken with Moritz standing next to his biplane.
After finishing the short photo shoot, Moritz learned the name that had been used to refer to him.
Although he was not bothered by being called the Blue Baron, Moritz believed that the name must be something named by the enemy.
