Chapter 1781: Transition flight

Some parts will be shot a lot, it depends on the angle of fire of both sides. Among them, the wing is the most likely to be shot.
Although it was shot a lot, it came back after all. What does this show? These places are already beating! And those parts that are rarely hit are fatal. For example, the tail engine, as long as a bullet hits it, it may cause the engine to malfunction.
The axial-flow engine inside, which is tens of thousands of revolutions, even if a piece of light aluminum alloy debris is sucked in, it is easy to cause major accidents.
Ted’s proposal made Nowotny a bright spot, and he couldn’t help asking: "What did you do before joining the army?"
"I'm still in college." Ted said, "I study statistics."
Last year, Ted was still in college. As a junior student, he had a restless heart. After many applications, he finally left the university temporarily, entered the aviation school, and started learning to fly, even if he did. It took him a year to have glider flying experience before he officially graduated from aviation school.
He is not a rookie. Germany has a quite advanced aviation school. After accumulating enough combat exploits, many frontline pilots will step down from the front line to teach in the rear. They teach by their words and deeds and pass on their own experience. It is given to students, and must undergo sufficient confrontation training to graduate.
This is absolutely different from the kind of pilot who has just learned to fly a plane to the sky and then is driven into the battlefield by ducks.
They already have the ability for actual combat. If they are lacking, it is that confrontation training can never replace actual combat. From this perspective, it is absolutely correct to say that they are rookies, but as long as they are baptized by one or two battles, they will immediately Mature.
With a famous pilot in place, Novotny also entered the fighter plane, skillfully started the engine, taxied on the runway, took off, and flew west.
Behind him, a series of fighter planes took off from the runway smoothly, and the flight of the Novotny Flight Group began again.
For fighter forces, transitions are very common. After all, the range of front-line fighters is not large. Even if they are long-range, the closer they are to the front, the faster their support.
Therefore, they are used to frequent transitions.
Direct flight from Iceland to Greenland is not that far. After climbing to cruising altitude, it is time to descend within a few minutes of flying.
Nowotny adjusted the radio navigator in front of him. He heard the unique sound of radio navigation in the headset, adjusted the nose slightly to make the sound louder, and then continued flying.
For any pilot, navigation is a big deal.
In this era, it is much more convenient.
In the past, it was almost based on the pilot’s experience, aeronautical charts, compasses, and manual calculations, all of which were indispensable.
Once the radar is available, it will be a boon for the defending fighter forces. They can directly attack the target under the guidance of the ground radar, and the ground will give data such as the flight position, and after the interception is completed, they can also Returning under the guidance of the ground, everything is very simple. After having GPS with later generations, fools can go to strange cities without getting lost.
In addition to radar, the application of radio navigation is also quite convenient. At the air force base, a navigation antenna is set up to emit electromagnetic signals. Then, as long as the fighter planes fly against the signal, the signal strength is the highest and it can fly all the time. In the past, the goal was found.
This is the simplest principle of radio navigation.
The target airport is said to be very secretive, invisible from the sky, and it was their first flight. In addition to using aeronautical charts, the most important thing was navigation.
After continuing to fly for a while, Novotny was able to receive the signal from the base radar station for voice guidance.
Following the instructions of the radar station, lowered the altitude until the flight was almost close to the ground and entered the final landing route. Nowotny finally saw the air force base in the same color as the ground nearby. It was really hard to detect!
If American bombers came to bomb, they would definitely not be found.
Nowotny’s fighter plane landed on the runway in a standard posture and slid to the tarmac. Behind him, the planes also landed skillfully, especially those rookies who had just entered the army. It was also extremely smooth, and the landing posture was very graceful.
"The jet is definitely the jet unit." On the high mountain in the distance, two men in white snow suits were using high-power military binoculars to observe here, and one person whispered excitedly: "Quick~www .EbookFREE.me~Telegraph immediately."
"No, we can't send a telegram. If you send a telegram, it will be discovered by the Germans. We must use the most secure method." Another said: "I will go out to sea tonight and return to Baffin Island."
Germany's electronic technology is quite powerful. If there is an inexplicable radio signal, it will soon attract the arrest of the Germans. At that time, their capture will be secondary, and it will be the most terrible to leak their own action. of.
There must be no omissions!
The white runway is connected with the surrounding white frozen soil. This is the best protection color. Nothing can be seen from the air. The hangars and towers nearby are all white. They are all in this color throughout the year.
When the hatch was opened, a blast of cold wind poured in, causing Novotny to fight a cold war. From the latitude, it was similar to Iceland, but the temperature was really low!
In this low temperature, ordinary propeller fighters are difficult to start, especially air-cooled engines. Ground power vehicles are often run out of strength before they are started.
Liquid-cooled, hot water can be used to warm up in advance, air-cooled will not work, old Maozi is often roasted, which is the most dangerous.
The jet does not have these concerns, no matter what the temperature, the jet can be launched smoothly.
Wrapped in the flight suit, Novotny got off the plane: "Everyone, go to the meeting room. We need to immediately allocate the combat readiness duty."
This place is at the forefront, and there will always be Americans to make trouble. It can be said that as long as they come here, they are in battle at any time, and they must be prepared from now on.
Familiar with the nearby airspace, conduct combat readiness on duty, assign a good flight team, and be ready to deal with large-scale conflicts. Nowotny is quite proficient in these.
