In fact, almost two years ago, at the request of Akado, Germany began the design of jet fighters, so it can be said to be the first country in the world to start jet fighter research. And in the general direction, the technology used at the beginning did not take a detour.
In the theoretical design stage, many design departments of the German aviation industry have established several basic design requirements for jet fighters, such as the use of large-caliber cannons as the main weapon, and the use of swept wings, a proven technology from later generations. Mature wing design.
At the beginning, because the materials and processing technology did not meet the standards, the German jet fighters and the current British meteor fighters are very immature and frequent failures, but with Germany ’s new material technology Progress, and continuous experimentation and development, the failure rate has been reduced to an acceptable level.
This is also the main reason why Air Force General Catherine is anxious to put the experimental me-262 verification aircraft into production. In Catherine's view, this twin-engine jet engine aircraft can already be used as the first generation jet fighter to enter the German Air Force. At least, compared with the British jet fighters, the German aircraft is safer and the performance is slightly stronger.
But in the eyes of Akado, although the advantages of this me-262 verification machine are many, but the disadvantages are also very many. From the perspective of future generations, it is still too early for Germany to reluctantly serve jet fighters.
Because the output power of the engine is insufficient, a series of safety considerations are also taken into consideration. The design of the me-262 verification machine adopts the design scheme of installing two jet engines under the conservative wing. This design allows the me-262 to fly The speed is not fast, the highest is only 760 kilometers, and it cannot completely exceed the peak of the piston engine, the ta-152 fighter, but the two are obviously more advantageous than the mature technology.
Another important reason is that the turbojet engine is definitely an amazing oil tiger at the beginning of its birth, which makes the jet fighter very cheap in taking off and attacking its opponents. In other words, it is too good to fight with this fighter. Expensive, not cost-effective.
An important reason for the Luftwaffe to delay the launch of jet fighters is because the Luftwaffe is now more and more in an offensive role. It needs longer-range fighters to protect its strategic bombers. For the mission, it needs a fighter jet that stays longer to ensure that its air superiority can be used efficiently. On the contrary, the demand for high-speed interceptors is not so urgent.
It ’s a pity that although the new jet fighter has no obvious flaws in its range, it is based on data obtained on the basis of high-speed flight. When the bomber and the friendly aircraft seized air control, its combat radius was at the bottom. It's terrible. The same problem occurs in the time of leaving the air. The short time of leaving the air makes it no problem when it is used as an interceptor. However, it will not be able to do the job of hovering over the battlefield to expel the opponent's aircraft for a long time.
Coupled with the need to redesign and manufacture the production line, train production workers, and increase the man-hours spent on aircraft production, after all this is calculated, everyone feels that the production of jet fighters is definitely a worthless thing.
"My general, the me-262 verification aircraft is still not very satisfactory in many places. I hope that the first generation of the German Air Force jet fighter is a single-engine fighter, not a twin-engine fighter." In the car, Arcado continued to Catherine.
Catherine was shocked. If you use a single-engine layout, the fuel consumption of future jet fighters in Germany will be reduced a lot. You can increase the distance between the voyage and the empty space, but the thrust problem needs to be better solved. In order to adapt the engine to the weight of the aircraft.
"My head of state, if that is the case, the engine design and materials may have to wait a long time. Can the existing air force be able to fight the enemy jet fighters?" Catherine is not entangled with new weapons. With regard to service, what he really worried about was whether the air force in his hands could deal with the new weapons in the hands of the enemy.
Akado waved his hand and said to his men: "Relax, intelligence from Gascole, the Americans are not in a hurry to produce a new meteor jet fighter, instead they are running away with Rolls-Royce. The engine engineers of Sri Lanka have worked together to improve a piston engine called Merlin, which is ready to be installed on their latest long-range fighter p-51. "
In comparison, Americans who have no worries about the death of the country are immature with jet fighters. Instead, they have absorbed the British people ’s unique insights into the piston engine technology and improved their lack of engine technology to jet. Americans and Germans share the same view on the technology of the engine: it is still more experimental.
"When the American p-51 fighters begin to serve, they may take off from Iceland and cover their b-17 bombers to the British Isles. At that time, the battle to test the ability of the German Air Force has really come." Cardo stretched out his palm and patted on Catherine's shoulder: "Before that time, I will prepare you with your new weapon to make the world tremble under the wings of the German aircraft!"
Speaking of which, he suddenly remembered something, and then smiled and asked: "I heard that on the Eastern Front, our pilots have a set of rules of operation? Sounds interesting?"
Catherine heard the heads say this, and then forgot to work for a while, then smiled and replied: "Every plane without an iron cross on the wing must be shot down. They said this in private, which is almost the same. Just some The pilots casually said that after all, they were first-line combatants and had to be proud. "
"No! They didn't just talk casually!" Akado interrupted Catherine's modest words and solemnly said: "They did it! In a year, we hit all Europe, all wings You ca n’t fly in the sky of Europe without an iron cross! Your soldiers have completed this joke with their lives, and we should pay them the highest respect! "
Catherine froze for a moment, then nodded: "Yes! My head!" This time nodded, it was another heartfelt congratulation.
In fact, Akado is also hesitant about which design to use as the main aircraft of the future Luftwaffe fighter. In the world after World War II, two famous jet fighters were born at the same time. These two fighters really fought over North Korea, and the record can be said to be "half a catty."
One of these two aircraft is called the MiG 15 fighter, and the other is called the f-86 fighter. It is the first mature jet fighter of the two superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States. As for whether these two fighters are good or bad, Akado itself is not a weapon expert, and cannot thoroughly analyze it. After all, the kind of thing that assesses the war-loss ratio between the two sides by analyzing the results of the blows through the bulls. from.
So he can only use the slightly vague memories of his previous life to barely recall the characteristics of the two fighters. In the history of the Soviet Union and the United States, after the end of World War II, they absorbed the science and technology of Nazi Germany, and according to their own experience, they produced jet fighters in line with their national conditions.
The Soviet air force was in a state of being crushed by the Nazi air force for most of the time in World War II. The air power on the eastern line did not completely fall into the hands of the Soviet air force until 44 years. In this case, for the Soviet Union For the Air Force, interception and ranged air combat are all their memories.
According to his own experience and lessons, the Soviet MiG 15 fighters embarked on the road of German light fighters, high altitude, high speed and high climb rate, hit and run with vertical maneuvering, just like the me-109 of the Nazi Air Force at the beginning of the war, the shortcoming is the short legs And the fighting ability is not strong.
The air force experience of the Americans is completely different from that of the Soviet Union. In the face of the powerful war production capacity of the United States and Britain, the Nazi Air Force, which relies heavily on technology and pilot technology to survive, has no advantage. It lost the air control of the Western Front around 1943. American bombers were The German skies are unhindered, and the fighter planes are accompanied by bombers.
So the American engineers who also took the German Air Force technology home to study, designed the f-86 fighter with a longer range and better horizontal maneuverability. Although the vertical maneuverability is slightly worse, it has obtained a more advantageous struggle. Performance, also obtained a greater range. No way, in order to cover his bomber, a large voyage is necessary.
Speaking of Aka, many people are more inclined to the United States f-86 fighter, because Germany ’s current situation is very similar to that of the United States, and they all need a long-range fighter to their strategic bombing. Moreover, in actual combat performance, f- 86's performance is not worse than MiG 15, which makes people very emotional.
However, the actual combat experience of the Luftwaffe pilots is closer to the performance of the MiG-15 fighter. Most German pilots prefer the high-altitude high-speed dive and run this assault method after running, so after using the MiG-15, the actual performance of the Luftwaffe Combat performance may be better or maybe.
"My head of state, the latest patriot cemetery in the suburbs, is here." Just when Akado was entangled which of the two aircraft is more suitable for the status quo of the Luftwaffe, Anna sitting next to him looked out the window, reminding him of what he was thinking. Akado also has two military generals.
The car slowly stopped on the side of the road, and the greeted team was already standing on both sides.
