Chapter 629: Full-fledged war eagle one

"However, it finally looked a little pleasing to the eye." At the Munich Aviation Training Center, Ruprecht finally saw a single-engine biplane that fits the aesthetics of the crossover. In terms of appearance, this aircraft is a bit close to the historical CL-1 aircraft. Of course, compared with the German 1st fighter aircraft that uses metal skin and has armor protection, most of this aircraft still uses Wooden structure, no armor, and the engine power is only 130 horsepower, but the shape of the aircraft is not bad. According to the later boss of Dassault, a good aircraft is first of all the standards of a beautiful aircraft. This aircraft should meet the standards that crushed contemporary aircraft.

"This aircraft has almost completely refreshed our aviation record. This is our first aircraft with a speed above 150 kilometers, and also the first single-engine aircraft with an empty weight of 620KG and a combat weight of 850KG. It has excellent Maneuverability, and the combat radius has reached about 200 kilometers." Daimler began to introduce this new type of aircraft called the J-5 fighter to the prince enthusiastically.

"The main weapon can be selected from one 12.7MM machine gun or two MG04 7.92MM machine guns. The former has about 500 rounds of ammunition, while the latter has 1200 rounds of ammunition. If the pilot is lighter in weight, it’s better to load fuel. If it is less, it can also carry 40KG bombs. Pilots can choose to throw bombs with their hands or use the pylons under the wings to throw bombs."

"This aircraft also has a trans-epochal advantage that is that its structural strength is sufficient. Under full load, the J-5 fighter jet can dive at an angle of 45 degrees and a maximum speed of not more than 180 kilometers. The maximum overload can reach about 3G. In the test field, our maximum dive angle reached 60 degrees, and we have conducted many tests without any problems with the aircraft. This aircraft also has a good nickname, we call him Sparrowhawk!"

   "I can say responsibly that if this aircraft can be used in service, there will probably be no work that can surpass this aircraft in the next 10 years!" Finally Daimler concluded.

"Hehe, that's because you don't know how fast the technology will develop in the future." The prince said in his heart. The technology of this plane is about 5 years earlier than in history. In fact, the explosion of aviation technology in the first war also accumulated to this point. As long as the design direction can be grasped, the performance of an engine can be greatly improved. This aircraft is already very good from the appearance. As for the specific aerodynamic layout, it is also good from the wind tunnel test. The only problem The engine power is a bit small, only 130 horsepower.

   "But it's good, at least enough to deal with the Russians. If nothing else, it can be used on the Eastern Front until the end of the war." The prince was fairly satisfied with this aircraft.

   "How many such airplanes do we have now? What is the improvement potential of this airplane?" The prince thought for a while and asked.

"We currently have 4 test aircraft. The potential for improvement of this type of aircraft is still great. In fact, the engine compartment on the nose of our aircraft can be smaller. According to your instructions, we have left enough space for the replacement of new engines. , And the strength of the aircraft is sufficient." Count Lilintal said to the side. He did the aerodynamic design of the flight, so he naturally has a say.

The weight of the aircraft can be deducted a little bit. In history, many aircrafts have suffered problems in later upgrades in pursuit of performance. For example, the historically noted BF109 fighter jet was replaced with a larger and heavier DB605 engine. After that, a bulge appeared on the engine compartment of the nose, and I couldn't put it down. And the reason why the performance of the later Zero aircraft can't improve is because it is not equipped with heavier and larger engines?

  So the prince asked the aircraft to leave a certain degree of redundancy for improvement. Even before the appearance of the J-5 aircraft, the prince asked the designer to consider the situation of replacing the engine with about 220 horsepower in the future. At the same time, the aircraft structure is required to be as strong as possible.

"I personally think that this aircraft can meet our needs for small-scale frontline support and air combat. If we use the J-5 as the basis for weight reduction, we can completely reduce the weight by 100KG while ensuring the performance of air combat. Above, in this case, the performance of the aircraft will be greatly improved, at least a speed increase of about 20 kilometers will not be a problem.

"And if we can switch to an engine of about 200 horsepower, then in the case of a combat radius of 100 kilometers, the aircraft can carry bombs ranging from 80KG to 120KG. And maintain good controllability. In other words, this aircraft It is an aircraft that focuses on both air combat and ground support requirements. This is also the essential difference between the J-5 aircraft and the J-1 aircraft." Li Lintal said.

"Very good, a bit of the meaning of a later generation fighter-bomber. Looking at this small aircraft with a height of 2.8 meters. The length is 6.5 meters and the wing length is 9 meters. The prince is still very satisfied. Especially for this one also has a certain right The characteristics of the ground attack capability are more satisfactory. The Russian Air Force is not an opponent, and more aircrafts still carry out ground suppression. If the frontline suppression problem is solved, then more twin-engine bombers can be freed up to perform attacks on deep targets. It is very cost-effective from the perspective of combat effectiveness and economics.

The only pity is that the engine power is not too large, otherwise, if the German aero engine can be as NB as the British, if the aircraft is equipped with a 375 hp Rollo engine, Ruprecht would not mind to produce one. This German version of the DH-4 light bomber has a maximum bomb load of about 250KG, and its combat radius is less than 100 kilometers...

   "You can try to produce a squadron first, and pilot training and tactical research can begin." Ruprecht said to Baron Schmidt next to him~www.wuxiaspot.com~So how do the air force's future command system work? Is it part of the army or is it a separate army? "Baron Schmidt asked.

  "The air force is a separate army." The prince said without hesitation. There are no more than two kinds of questions about the ownership of the air force in the world. The other is similar to Britain and Germany, directly establishing independent air forces, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. For the former, if the air force belongs to the army, the air force will support the army more effectively. Also more convenient. But the air force is relatively dispersed.

  Of course, these problems are nothing to the wealthy American emperor. But if an aviation force of the size of the United Kingdom or Germany is assigned to the army and navy, then apart from anything else, at least the Royal Air Force wants to form a strategic bomber force is certainly not easy. In the case of Germany, I am afraid that the loss of the air force will be even greater, because in the second war, the Luftwaffe could choose to enter or exit the battlefield according to its own situation. And if the air force were to be consumed like the Soviet Union, it is estimated that the Luftwaffe would collapse before the end of 44.
