Chapter 384: Swordfish take off


Precision-guided bombs must be controllable. This control is on the radio system, and the radio system is on the rear of the bomb.
A 7mm bullet whizzed through the tail of the bomb.
Ordinary bombs have rudder surfaces at the tail, but they are dead and cannot be moved. However, for the current fx2400 bombs, the rudder surfaces at the tail are movable. It is through these rudder surfaces that the flight trajectory of the bomb is controlled.
This kind of rudder surface is made of lightweight aluminum alloy. After all, the rudder surface needs to be controlled to twist. This power comes from the rudder surface motor. After all, the power of the motor is limited. It is impossible to weld a piece like an ordinary fixed rudder surface. The iron plate is solved.
And now, the 7mm machine gun bullets passed through this rudder surface easily, and under the huge impact force, the entire rudder surface was directly carried away!
The loss of a rudder surface made the control of this bomb instantly difficult. At this time, it was already the final stage of its attack!
The route is basically aligned, even if it does not rely on the rudder surface, it is already possible to hit, but the lack of the rudder surface makes it lose its aerodynamic stability, so in everyone’s surprised eyes, this bomb, Incredibly turned.
The Hood passed by with a two and a half-ton bomb. When the bomb almost wiped the side of the Hood and fell into the water next to it, it splashed a dozen meters high!
"Boom!" A huge explosion came from underwater.
The Hood, a 40,000-ton battleship, trembled involuntarily in the sound of the explosion.
The hull is still injured! Even if it was an explosion in the water, the shock wave still injured the Hood!
"Quick, immediate damage control!" Captain Cole, riding a bicycle from the shore, galloped over. This was the fastest means of transportation he could find.
Not everyone lives on the boat. Colonel Cole slept on the shore, and he hurried over the first moment the alarm sounded.
Rescue the Hood!
At this time, the bombers behind continued to throw bombs, and the entire harbor was still in a mess.
"Damn the Germans, they did not declare war and launched a sneak attack on us!"
"Om, hum." There was a huge roar, shaking under the crotch.
The Czech Republic got on his motorcycle. At this moment, his eyes were extremely firm.
The ground airport of the Naval Air Force is two kilometers away from his residence, and now, he must be there immediately!
In the harbor, our warship is being horribly bombed, and he must take off and meet!
There are definitely not so few German planes coming. There will definitely be more in the future. Maybe, the other side will drop the bomb on the land airport in the next moment!
Fast, fast!
The motorcycle was speeding on the wilderness. In order to hurry, Jack didn't even take the original concrete road, but went straight on a small road.
The performance of this bsam20 motorcycle is quite different from that of German motorcycles. The reason why it was selected by the United Kingdom is that its production technology is simple and easy to maintain. As for the use, it is really not optimistic.
Now, bumping in the wild, although the two big springs on his are constantly cushioning, Jack's is still lifted up high.
Jack is still banging the accelerator. For him, time is the most precious.
Fast, must be fast!
Generally speaking, the outside of the airport is blocked by wire, but now, there is no threat. Therefore, the surrounding barbed wire has long been abandoned, and many places have been taken apart. The officers and soldiers inside the base , Too troublesome to take the road.
Jack's motorcycle aimed at a gap and quickly penetrated it. He continued to twist the throttle and went up to the tarmac on the side of the runway.
Fast, fast!
When he came over, he saw three or five people running towards the plane.
Because they are all resting, there are few remaining pilots in the base, everyone is happy outside, and now, in such a short period of time, there are still a few people able to run back, which is enough to show the loyalty of the Royal Navy aviation.
"Quick, quick, quick!" While riding the motorcycle, Jack yelled to his companions. When he came to the side of the plane, he threw his motorcycle to the side and ran on to himself in a few steps. s plane.
From the current point of view, this is a completely obsolete aircraft, compared with the German aircraft, it is like a toy.
The single wing, all-metal skin, high-horsepower engine, and enclosed cockpit are already the standards of advanced fighters in this era.
So, what about this swordfish attack aircraft? The old-fashioned bi-wing structure, poor military equipment, open cockpit, a speed of only 225 kilometers per hour, and a maximum ceiling of 3,260 meters, make it seem not much different from the master aircraft of World War I.
As a carrier-based attack aircraft that was officially completed in 1935, it was an era behind the 97 ship attack adopted by the Japanese Navy two years later.
In 1933, Fairleigh Airlines developed a three-seater torpedo attack/observation/reconnaissance aircraft by itself. The first letters of the three words were called "tsr-i". The aircraft was developed in accordance with the technical standards promulgated by the Ministry of Aviation. The aircraft has a metal bi-wing structure with fabric skin and uses a 635-horsepower Bristol "Pegasus" iim air-cooled star engine~EbookFREE.me~ After a failure, this aircraft was finally finalized and won the favor of the British Navy. It can be seen that the British Navy's concept, like their army, is quite backward.
In later generations, it was not until the emergence of the Sea Spitfire that the British Navy finally recovered its disadvantage.
Of course, this is consistent with the situation at the time. After all, the German Navy at that time did not have a strong aircraft carrier formation. The mission of the British naval aviation was to attack the German naval formation, not air combat. Although the performance of the swordfish was very backward, throw a The torpedo is still fine.
The Swordfish attack aircraft is a three-seater attack aircraft, including the driver, observer and correspondent and rear seat gunner. Now, Jack has only one person. His observer and rear seat gunner do not know where they are.
There is no time, you must take off immediately!
Quickly flip the switches, the new 750-horsepower "Sagittarius" 30 engine in front made a loud roar, black smoke sprayed from the exhaust pipe, released the brakes, and Jack quickly slid on the track.
Behind him, there are four swordfish attack aircraft, which are also in the process of activation. They are going to take off to meet the enemy!
Almost at the same time, there was a roar of engines in the southern sky of the base.
The German bomber has arrived!
