家园 【20%原创】B-24的生产速度

1942-1943年,B-24的产量大增,多个公司同时生产这种飞机。其中包括汽车大公司福特。生产地点是在底特律附近的Willow Run。生产高峰时期,月产量428架。这是那个厂全厂的月产量。

一架飞机在生产过程中,占用一条“生产线”。当时的那个福特飞机生产厂里有多少条B-24的“生产线”呢?请参考维基百科的照片,有个数量级的概念:

另一张大一点二的照片,B-24生产工厂有几个,不知道这个是哪一家

一个小时装一台活塞式发动机都是不可能的。

有兴趣的河友可以查一下二战期间美国的各大汽车公司的汽车产量与战前和战后相比,有什么变化?

为什么出现那样的变化?

原因就是很多汽车工人去生产飞机了。

B-24s under construction at Ford's Willow Run plant.B-24 production increased at an astonishing rate through 1942 and 1943. Consolidated tripled the size of its plant in San Diego and built a large new plant outside Fort Worth, Texas. More B-24s were built by Douglas in Tulsa, Oklahoma. North American built a plant in Dallas, Texas, which produced B-24Gs and B-24Js. None of these were minor operations, but they were dwarfed by the vast new greenfield factory built by Ford at Willow Run near Detroit, which opened in August 1942 and began mass production in August 1943. This was the largest factory in the United States, and the largest anywhere outside the USSR. It had the largest assembly line in the world (3,500,000 ft/330,000 m) at the time of completion. At its peak, Willow Run produced 428 B-24s per month. Many pilots slept on cots at Willow Run while waiting for 'their' B-24s to roll off the assembly line.
