This new engine is simply a revolutionary invention of military weapons. This engine can make me-109 fly a super speed of 570 kilometers. This speed can throw off all fighters in active service and give me-109 fighters an unparalleled climb. speed. So Catherine, the commander of the Luftwaffe, called his new weapon the King of Climbing. No one thought his words were too exaggerated. On the contrary, Colonel Dick's evaluation of this was only four words: deserved.
A more compact engine makes the weapon configuration more advanced. This super fighter is equipped with a powerful 20 mm caliber gun on the nose to ensure the penetration and damage of heavy firepower. In addition, two 13 mm heavy machine guns were also equipped to maintain the intensity of firepower and continuity. These weapons ensure that the me-109 fighter will not have any problems with firepower for the next five years.
Of course, there is another alternative, that is, the me-109 fighter can be equipped with two additional 20 mm cannons on the wings. This modification will make the aircraft have terrible firepower, but unfortunately after this modification The aircraft will lose part of its range and mobility. The most terrible thing is that the 20 mm cannon on the wing can only be loaded with 60 rounds. Frankly speaking, it is very helpless.
The more fashionable place is still the me-109 cockpit design. Although the cabin vision of the me-109 fighter is very narrow due to various reasons, this cockpit is indeed a fully enclosed supercharged cockpit. This ensures that the me-109 fighter can fly to a sufficiently high place, so that it can throw off its opponents or attack higher enemy targets.
The biggest problem comes from the compressed landing gear, which makes the landing of the me-109 fighter jet the most dangerous action. The pilot can master the habit of landing this aircraft after a lot of training. Even so, the operation manual repeatedly emphasizes the requirement to avoid taking off and landing the aircraft in strong winds as much as possible.
High-speed dive and climb brought a slight loss of low-altitude performance of this aircraft, so this aircraft did not consider the mission of considering ground attack at all. This is also considered a minor defect of this aircraft. Even for the role of guest bomber, the me-109 fighter appeared to be very unqualified. This type of aircraft can only carry a bomb without carrying a fuel tank. It can't dive and projectiles can only be thrown horizontally by the pilot in the state of level flight-you can refer to driving with your eyes closed.
Of course, this new type of aircraft was designed to dominate the sky. It did this with its own excellent performance. When the pilot who flew the me-109 fighter got off the plane, he treated all and him. The designers shaking hands swear that this is the most powerful fighter he has ever driven.
Data shows that this aircraft can kill all active fighters, whether it is speed or low-altitude turns or spiral climb. The me-109, which began mass production in 1931, is better than its opponents in the same period. Only a few major engineers of Messerschmitt knew that they had completely broken the world flight speed record in 1930.
In order to make up for the inadequacy of the me-109's ground attack, under the auspices of Akado, the German aircraft manufacturer additionally provided the Luftwaffe with a fresh equipment called the Stuka dive bomber. On the other hand, Germany has designed a dual-engine long-range bomber, which is the main aircraft of the Luftwaffe's future ground attack.
Akado is now faced with the situation that Goering and Hitler faced. The Luftwaffe has been lacking aircraft, and there has always been a lack of aircraft. Choosing to develop a fighter first is undoubtedly the fastest move to catch up with the world ’s air force. It sacrificed the air force's long-range attack, which became the regrettable short-legged air force of the previous life.
In order to avoid Germany's lack of long-range attack methods, Hitler's approach was to make up with the unrealistic things such as v2, and Akado decided to use long-range strategic bombers to improve the short legs of the German Air Force.
Although Akado's family is stronger than Hitler's, he found that it was still not enough to meet the simultaneous development of the Air Force's long-range bombers and air-making fighters. From a practical perspective, Akado still chose to develop me first. -109 Fighter project.
But the difference is that he has redesigned an ambitious future Air Force strategic bomber plan from the design level: this plan is to use the current technology to design and develop an excellent four-engine large multi-purpose aircraft, and use this large aircraft in Germany On the development of civil aviation.
Later, this design was improved and developed, and this aircraft was improved into a military transport aircraft to serve German paratroopers and important military air transport services. In this way, Germany will not lag behind the world in terms of technology and experience in the design and production of large aircraft, and as long as it is not behind, it will not suffer from lack of experience and technology in the near future.
Of course, at the beginning, this large aircraft took fewer detours that many Germans bypassed. For example, connecting the engines in series hopes that large bombers can have the performance of a dive bomber. This request was completely rejected by Akado as soon as it was proposed. Akado hit a big red X behind the Air Force ’s report requirements. , And then wrote his own comment: Outweigh the gains.
From the beginning, the German bomber embarked on a four-prop design similar to the American B-17. Because the single vertical tail design was found to be insufficient in flight during the experimental flight, it was stubbornly modified by German designers. It became a double vertical tail design with two ends of the tail.
Although it slightly affected the shooting range of the defensive machine gun behind the aircraft, this design, which was more stable and consistent with the aesthetics of the Luftwaffe general, was retained. After all, Akado is not a professional aircraft designer. When confronted with a lot of inquiries by engineers, he had to cough and nod to hide his guilty conscience.
In addition, Akado did not give up the development and manufacture of air-cooled engines. On the contrary, he also supported the research and development of air-cooled engines for many reasons, but in the highest confidential archives of the German Navy, Akado and Redel and others Some advantages of using air-cooled engines in naval aviation were mentioned during the meeting.
Approximately 15% of the fw-109 specially designed for the navy can be used with the army-type me-109. It uses an air-cooled engine and a redesigned aerodynamic shape. Although it looks thicker, it is more durable and conforms to the naval aircraft carrier. Harsh operating conditions.
Air-cooled engine-based fighter jets can save precious fresh water for aircraft carriers, and there is no worry about scrapped fighter jets because of slight battle damage, and aircraft carriers do not require high-altitude interception air defense, so they use a more suitable fighter design.
In this way, there are as many as four aircraft models in Germany, including two fighters, a dive bomber, and a multi-purpose large aircraft series. Although it seems to increase the burden on the aviation industry, in fact most of these things are still in the verification and flight test phase.
Compared with the Luftwaffe, the development of the German navy is more blatant. In the "Naval Clause" of the "New Versailles Treaty" signed with the United Kingdom, the tonnage control of the German navy on destroyers and light cruisers is very loose. In other words, Germany can build many new destroyers and light cruisers.
Against this backdrop, the German Navy ’s X-class cruiser successfully joined the active duty, enhancing the strength of the German Navy. Germany now has 41 ocean-going destroyers, 5 cruisers, and 23 large submarines, fully equipped with offshore defense capabilities.
On the other hand, the aircraft carrier code-named "Blue Whale" is already on the drawings, and it is calculated based on the ability of Germany to build battleships. This aircraft carrier has no technical difficulties at all and can be built immediately when needed. Moreover, one-tenth of the parts of this aircraft carrier can be used with the German Hercules-class transport ship. German ship designers are very familiar with the entire construction process.
Germany ’s difficulties in designing the entire aircraft carrier technology, which could not be solved in a moment and a half, have purchased related patents in Japan and the United States. It can be said that with a single order, the German aircraft carrier can be started and built, and within one year It is easy to launch, and this aircraft carrier is the main aircraft carrier enough to take off 60 various fighters.
The training of naval aviation has also been systematically carried out. Now the reserve of German pilots has exceeded 1,100, and the size of naval aviation and air force can be expanded at any time. These people now serve in aviation flight clubs scattered throughout Germany, have unified militarized management, and have undergone systematic military training.
In addition, Germany has also achieved results in radio technology, and communication distance and call quality have made great progress. Because it was manufactured later, many leopard tanks are still equipped with old-fashioned radios, but the Defense Force Equipment Department is trying to increase it. The production volume of the new radio is used to meet the needs of the three armed forces by sea, land and air.
Near Berlin, the Wehrmacht secretly built a base of a new type of equipment. This new type of equipment has a huge antenna array made of steel, and has a nice name called radar. Akado's darling general Catherine, as well as his chief of staff Weaver and deputy commander of the Air Force, are gradually improving the air defense radar system in Germany. With anti-aircraft guns and fighter jets, they are confident to ensure the absolute safety of the entire German airspace.
The radar test delighted all German technicians involved in the development of this equipment. With this advanced electronic equipment, Germany ’s airspace can be kept under 24 hours of uninterrupted vigilance. If you rely on this equipment to command aircraft operations , It can be described by the word Nitian.
Thinking of so much good news, Akado calmed down slightly, and he sat back in his chair with a tired expression on his face.
"Now we can only wait! Waiting for the good news from Streisman from the UK!" Akado said helplessly.
