After watching the detailed testing of the Homing Pigeon helicopter prototype, Arthur still held great hopes for the development of helicopters.
Even in a short period, Australasia's helicopter development could become quite useful, with helicopters filling the fields of rescue and strategic transportation throughout Australasia.
After praising the Douglas Company for its research, Arthur returned to the royal palace.
Douglas had still been extremely busy lately. Not only did it have to produce the Sop-34 transport aircraft, it also had to improve it while finding time to develop helicopters. It could truly be said to be doing three things at once.
Fortunately, the Sop-34 transport aircraft had already entered Assembly Line Production. Mass production would not only effectively reduce the cost of the Sop-34, but also increase the speed at which the aircraft were built.
Just over half a month had passed since the air raid on the Ryukyu Islands, yet Australasia already had more than ten additional Sop-34 transport aircraft.
At this rate, by the time Australasia attacked the Island Nation Mainland, the number of Sop-34 transport aircraft in the country could casually break into the hundreds, while the number of paratroopers transported in a single operation could reach tens of thousands.
If Arthur had not wanted to end the war against the Island Nation too soon, then judging by the technological and industrial gap between the two sides, the Island Nation would not have been able to hold out for long in Australasia's hands.
Even though Australasia had not gone all out, the Island Nation's current situation was already terrible. After losing the Ryukyu Islands, the Australasian Air Force would harass cities on the Island Nation Mainland from time to time and launch air raids on the Island Nation's more important regions.
