Five aircraft flew rapidly across the southern sky in a straight line before landing at the military base outside Gefra's imperial capital.

After footage of the Federation's aircraft in actual combat was exposed, the Gefrans also accelerated their research into aircraft.

In fact, these things were not difficult. The difficult part was blindly conducting research without any direction at the beginning. Once they had found the right direction, the support of National Power soon allowed the aircraft project to make considerable progress.

After more than a hundred different prototypes had crashed, they finally found what they believed was the most suitable, safest, and most stable design, and began attempting small-scale mass production.

As the aircraft landed smoothly, the mechanics hurried forward to inspect their components. The various data quickly came together and formed a table.

With a scientist's explanation, the Army Minister understood that the aircraft's performance had reached their ideal standard.

With a round-trip flight distance of 120 kilometers, they could carry five 150-pound explosives or one 620-pound torpedo. The aircraft's power and flexibility had gradually begun to awe people.

Although the aircraft's payload was small for now, they could produce them in large numbers. Compared with expensive battleships, the cost of building an aircraft was practically nothing.

Moreover, the production period was shorter. A car production line could be modified to mass-produce aircraft.

With low costs, high output, and fast production, even if their firepower could not be considered especially powerful, aircraft had become Gefra's most important direction for development.

Because aircraft needed to take off from land, the entire aircraft project had been assigned to the Army Minister's administration.
