Chapter 549: Towards a mature flight

"This is a good method, but it requires cooperation between the pilots. We cannot even communicate effectively within the team. Even with a speaker, we cannot guarantee that our teammates next to us can hear our voices in a battlefield environment. We even considered simple communication in words, but there is no doubt that this is a bit difficult." A pilot explained.

"Well, you handle this yourself. I admit that this is a bit difficult." The prince was once again frustrated by the low technology of this era.

After watching the first fighter, the prince, accompanied by a group of people including Sir Daimler, went to visit another bomber code-named K-1. Compared with fighter jets, this two-person reconnaissance bomber is much more complicated. After all, in this age when aircraft engines are still immature, the difficulty of each additional 1kg load is equal to that of later rocket launches.

In order to allow this aircraft to load more things, Sir Daimler prepared two v12 liquid-cooled engines for this aircraft. The maximum output power of a single engine reached an astonishing 130 horsepower. Of course, this engine It still cannot be placed on a fighter jet, because its size and weight are too large. If it must be used, the fighter jet needs to be redesigned, and the engine can be accommodated in time, and the performance may not be improved.

This aircraft can be said to be the largest among all current aircraft, with a length of 10 meters and a wingspan of 14 meters. The wing area is 50 square meters. The aircraft has an empty weight of 1050kg and a maximum take-off weight of 1600kg. Carrying two people, equipped with three machine guns, of which two 12.7mm machine guns are fixed in the nose position, controlled by the driver in the front seat, and the bombardier in the back seat also serves as the rear machine gun shooter, controlling a 7.92mm machine gun. The theoretical maximum bomb load of this aircraft is 250kg. But in fact, since its development, the aircraft has not flown with the maximum ammunition load.

"Our pilots are a bit overweight. If we can find a lighter weight pilot, there is still room for improvement..." Sir Daimler explained.

"The ammunition carried by the emotional plane is directly related to the weight of the pilot. It is a sad era." The prince had to sigh again with the technology of this era.

Although the completion of this aircraft is quite low, no matter what, this aircraft already has the basic elements of a reconnaissance bomber. This aircraft has 4 hanging points, of which there are two belly hanging points, which are arranged in front and rear. They can carry two bombs weighing no more than 100kg. The lower wing of the aircraft has a hanging point near the body, which can carry weight. Bombs over 50kg. In the rear seat bombardier's position, there is also a space for bomb sighting equipment. Of course, this sighting equipment is under design...

The two engine compartments of the aircraft are arranged between the two wings. It uses a vertical engine compartment. The two pilots were separated by a wing, and under the wing was a 250-liter fuel tank. Relying on internal fuel, this aircraft can fly for about 4 hours.

"If it is a reconnaissance aircraft, it is perfectly possible to install a radio station in the rear of the aircraft so that the information obtained can be sent back at any time. It is also very good as a gun compared to an aircraft. If you carry a fuel tank without bombs, this aircraft is the largest The voyage can reach about 800km, and the airborne time is more than 6 hours.

In all fairness, this aircraft was a pretty good aircraft even before World War I. The 250kg ammunition has been a few blocks away from the aircraft in the early days of World War I. The average flight speed of about 130 kilometers has also reached the flight speed of later bombers. Although it is incomparable with bt such as dh4, it is also very close to such aircraft as Gotha.

The most important thing is that this aircraft still has a lot of room for improvement. At least the engine can be changed. After all, most of the engine power in the later period of the first war was between 250hp and 375hp. As long as it is equipped with a reasonably good engine, the K-1 light bomber will be a very good fast light bomber. And it's still a bomber with very high accuracy from the perspective of World War I. Of course, don't even think about diving bombing. This thing is not a mosquito, and the engine used is not Mo Lin...

Before precision-guided weapons came out, the speed, altitude, and bombing accuracy of aircraft were inversely proportional. Therefore, under other conditions, the accuracy of high-speed jet bombers was definitely not as good as propeller aircraft. In the first battle, because the plane was slow enough and the altitude was low enough, even if it was unable to carry out a large-angle dive bombing, a raid-like strike was still more useful. In addition to the 200kg bomb, this aircraft can also use two 12.7mm machine guns to repeatedly fire on the ground. In this era, there are almost no ground transportation vehicles that can block 12.7mm machine guns.

"His Royal Highness, please come here. We have developed various types of bombs for the aircraft. In terms of weight, they can be divided into 100kg, 75kg, 50kg and 20kg bombs. If they are divided by purpose, they can be divided into anti-bombs. Infantry high-explosive shells, grenade shells, white phosphorus incendiary bombs and napalm bombs."

"I wipe it, white phosphorus incendiary bomb? You guys made such a thing? How safe is your conscience!" The prince groaned after looking at a bomb with two white rings on the bullet. The prince felt that he had gone too far after making a simple and terrible solidification. He didn't expect someone to come up with something more excessive! Of course, in addition to cruelty, the stability of this thing is also a problem, white phosphorus! The burned gas is poisonous, and its ignition point is only 40 degrees. This thing is also a threat to myself.

The reason why the white phosphorus incendiary bomb is terrifying is that it can still burn even in an oxygen-deficient environment. As long as it sticks to a person, it is definitely not burned and not finished. And it is a highly toxic substance in itself~www.wuxiaspot.com~Even if it is not burned to death, it may cause hemolytic poisoning. It is even said that even if the burn area is only 7%, it will still cause such terrible consequences.

The prince did not know when the first usable white phosphorous bomb appeared in history, so he still suggested that the relevant departments use this weapon with caution, not for the kindness of the enemy, but for his own safety... ..

As for other types of shells, they are basically modified from shells. However, compared with shells, there are more explosives or steel **** filled inside. Shells are generally single-digit percentages. High-explosive shells may be higher, but explosives are filled. The material generally does not exceed 20%. That is to ensure the strength of the shell when it is launched. But high-explosive bombs are different. With a charge rate of more than 30% of explosives easily, half the force is fine.

Compared to fighter jets that are somewhat confrontational, the bomber display is much simpler, that is, carrying some simulated bombs made of cement into the air, and then throwing them at low altitude. Without adequate training and equipped with new sights, this bombing accuracy is naturally not high, but in any case, the German eagle has begun to mature.
