Chapter 479: New aircraft

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
The two planes slowly approached the airport runway one after the other. At low altitude, they lowered their landing gear almost simultaneously. The plane's were adjusted, and soon the landing gear of the two planes touched the ground. The strong impact force caused the aircraft to fluctuate slightly, but they smoothly transitioned from flying to taxiing on the ground. Compared with the fw-190d fighters docked aside, the appearance of these two aircraft looks a little special.
Lifting the hatch of the cockpit, a German pilot drilled out of his cockpit. He proudly flaunted the ground crew who surrounded him, saying that he shot down 11 Soviet fighters this time.
The engine of the other aircraft has not stalled, and the three-blade wide propeller is still spinning. However, after the plane had just stopped on the runway, the ground crew ran over and surrounded the new fighter. As the pilot pulled the hatch open, cheers rang out from the crowd.
"This aircraft is very fast and very easy to control at high altitudes. It is very close to the performance described in the instruction manual." Just after climbing out of the aircraft, the pilot gave him the leather helmet and goggles to meet him. The ground staff introduced the test process to the engineer who rushed to his face with an urgent expression on his face.
He put one of his hands very high, and then signaled the staff that this is his flying height: "We tried the height of 13,000 meters. The engine is still working very well, the operation is normal, and the power output is very stable."
As he spoke, he thought for a while, and then added: "The front end of the aircraft is too long, which slightly affects the field of vision directly below. Of course I think it is worth the effort. The performance of this engine is very good, although It is more difficult than the fw-190d fighter when it rolls, but the other performance is much higher. "
As the pilot described the combat test process just now, several engineers around him were recording in detail the performance of the aircraft described by the pilot under various flight conditions. They recorded it very seriously, after all, this plane is a sweetheart that they have carefully designed for years.
"This is something that can't be done. The design of this engine emphasizes the output power. After all, it is very difficult to let a fighter fly to 700 kilometers per hour." The staff smiled embarrassedly. , But still proudly looking at the aircraft he designed, adding: "The line of sight problem cannot be improved, which is also a pity for us."
"In fact, the impact is not great. At the speed of this aircraft, nothing can hide in the lower part of my front for a long time." The pilot was obviously very optimistic about this aircraft, and immediately said: "This is a rare good aircraft. If we can equip this aircraft on a large scale, no one will be our opponent anymore. "
This is indeed his heartfelt words. As an ace pilot with a record of 25, he drove the fw-190d fighter and also tested the Italian-made me-109c export foreign trade fighter. He also participated in the evaluation of the seized flights a few days ago. British hurricane fighter, so his words have a high reference value.
The British hurricane fighter is generally a slightly worse aircraft than the German fw-190d fighter, so even if this aircraft can cause trouble for the fw-190d fighter, it is impossible to compare with the new German fighter that has just entered service. . The intelligence sent back by the spies is that the Americans had just equipped the P-40 fighters a few days ago, and their performance was similar to that of the British hurricane fighters. This made the German Air Force very at ease, at least they have not been surpassed at least now. Of course, not to mention the Soviet fighters, the i-16 improved fighters are not as good as the British hurricanes, let alone challenge the new German fighters.
It can be said responsibly that this near-peak fighter design is not comparable to those of second-rate piston fighters at this stage. Because of the secret suppression of Akado, the British flamethrower is still missing, and the Soviet fighters are lagging behind, so the Luftwaffe can be said to be arrogant, at least at this stage there will not be any real opponents.
On the other side, another pilot is complaining with other staff: "The weapon system of this aircraft is obviously not friendly enough for novices. The lethality of the 30 mm caliber shaft gun with the 20 mm caliber wing gun is worthy of recognition. However, the ammunition carried is very limited. Just because of the problem of ammunition, we were forced to give up two Soviet fighters. I think if it is a novice, there is no way to shoot down 17 Soviet aircraft today. "
"If it is against active enemy fighters, two 13mm machine guns are enough, of course, if it is four, it is better. Carrying more bullets is obviously more advantageous." He pointed to the aircraft and said : "This aircraft has a larger fuel tank, so the voyage is farther, and the blanking time is longer. If you return frequently because of the amount of ammunition, you will lose some of the gains."
Several staff members nodded non-stop, some recorded these problems in their notebooks, and some were drawing something on white paper with a pencil. This fighter is the latest technological product of the Germans, and it is regarded as the ultimate improved model of fw-190d. This aircraft is named ta-152 in Germany, and the official code name of the Air Force is called ta-152d fighter.
As early as when the German Air Force was equipped with fw-190d fighters and began to completely replace the original me-109a fighters, the Fokker-Wolf design team began to develop alternatives to fw-190d fighters.
This fighter was originally developed to increase the range of the fw-190d fighter, because the German Air Force is preparing to mass-produce a four-engine long-range strategic bomber, which is later the butcher bomber, so it needs a long-range escort. New long-range fighter.
Soon, the ta-152 fighter with increased wingspan and engine power was taken out. This aircraft can fly 1100 kilometers to carry out missions without carrying an external fuel tank. If this type of aircraft is equipped with an external auxiliary fuel tank, it can fly 2,000 kilometers to the butcher's strategic bomber, completely solving the so-called short-leg disadvantage of the German Air Force.
But then General Catherine, the current chief of staff of the Imperial Air Force, who was then commander-in-chief of the Air Force, believed that the new fighter must not only have the task of escorting bombers, but also be capable of intercepting high-altitude strategic bombers such as butchers. He was worried that the advent of the butcher's strategic bombers prompted other countries to develop such high-altitude long-range bombers to attack Germany, so he ordered the new German Air Force next-generation fighters to have high-altitude interception functions.
Under this requirement, the ta-152 was further strengthened, replaced with a more advanced engine, and increased the climbing height by 13,000 meters, which was 2,000 meters higher than the butcher bomber. In addition, a 30 mm caliber nose cannon and 20 mm caliber wing cannon were installed for this fighter.
As a result of this "magic reform" requirement, the design work of this aircraft was greatly delayed, so that the butcher bomber has been mass-produced, and equipped with more than 300 aircraft, after bombing the British capital London, this is the butcher The long-range fighters escorted by the bombers have just completed the design and finalization work.
The German engineers who pursued perfection not only completed the design of this fighter according to the requirements of the German Air Force, but also added an unimaginable function: the engine of this aircraft can temporarily increase the engine power by spraying a special liquid mw50, It flew at an amazing 740 kilometers against the sky.
After the reliability test that followed, Akado reluctantly ordered the trial production of the ta-152d fighter, so Wolfe finally got the coveted order and began production of the military ’s first new fighter order-40 Ta-152d fighter. But now it seems that this fighter can indeed be said to be the crystallization of the German aviation industry's wisdom. It has appeared just like the fw-190d fighter, making the fighters currently in service around the world obsolete.
Of the ta-152d fighters produced, 20 were sent to the Eastern Front for actual combat testing, 4 were sent to North Africa for special environmental adaptation testing, 10 were reserved for local air defense and deployed to the Berlin Air Defense Command, and 2 The aircraft was transported to the French coast to participate in the actual battle against the United Kingdom. The remaining four aircraft were handed over to the Navy to test the performance indicators of the carrier aircraft.
Soon the results of the front line were passed back to Berlin, and the ta-152d fighters achieved glorious results of shooting down 19 enemy fighters, but did not lose one. This reminded the commanders of the Luftwaffe when they were just equipped with the fw-190d, so the demand for mass production of ta-152d fighter jets was higher than that.
However, the news from the Navy is not as good as that of the Air Force. Because of the long nose, the aircraft carrier of this aircraft is more dangerous to take off and land than the fw-190d aircraft. In addition, the Navy does not have a good opinion of liquid-cooled engines. They are more willing to equip air-cooled engines that do not require fresh water and are more reliable.
After all, naval aviation does not have the need for the Air Force to "intercept high-altitude bombers", so the fw-190 naval fighter that is functional and reliable is more favored by navy generals. The navy generals are more concerned about the new fighters. It is the 7th and 8th aircraft carriers under construction.
The staff here is constantly recording the feedback from the battlefield, and the pilots there are constantly giving their opinions. For example, the ta-152d fighter extended the roll performance after the wingspan decreased. The pilot suggested to write in the operation manual to let the pilots better understand the performance of their aircraft. For example, add a hang point to the wing of the aircraft, so as to mount a bomb to complete a simple ground support task when performing a patrol mission.
There are various suggestions, some of which are very useful and good suggestions, and some are suggestions with strong personal habits of pilots, but these suggestions are meticulously recorded and sent to the weapons development center in Berlin.
