Imperial Overlord

Dr. Tank has been very busy, and he is currently designing the latest fighter jet for the Luftwaffe. This fighter was named ta-152 by the head of state after Dr. Tan Ke, which made Tan Ke very happy.

The performance requirements of the new fighter jets are so powerful that Dr. Tank doesn't know whether to improve and develop from existing fighter jets or develop a completely new design.

Because of the use of advanced gasoline, the flight performance of German fighter jets has generally increased by more than ten percent.

According to the current performance of fighter jets, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force and Imperial Marshal Goering even felt that there was no need to develop new fighter jets at all.

The head of state is supportive of this matter. He believes that the imperial marshal is too optimistic about the problem and should insist on developing new fighter jets to meet future challenges.

As an aircraft technician, Dr. Tan Ke agrees with the Fuhrer. He believes that his aircraft is far from being the best, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

These days, he's trying to prove it. He wanted to develop better fighter jets to continue to help the Luftwaffe rule the skies.

To achieve this, he used a new aluminum alloy technology that was substituted from the Japanese and used it in the load-bearing structures of some aircraft.

With this ultra-light alloy and the traditional excellent structure of German fighter jets, Dr. Tan Ke easily completed the weight reduction plan of the fighter jet and changed a better aerodynamic shape.

The new fighter is developed and improved on the basis of the fw-190d fighter. The performance of this brand-new fighter completely overwhelms the me-109e series fighters in service.

It's just that Germany did not have the advanced jumo-213 engine in 1944 during this period, so it could only use the db-601e engine.

This engine is the same engine used in the latest series of the me-109 series, the me-109f, so there is also a capacity conflict.

In order not to let the ta-152 fighter become a substitute for the me-109f series fighter, Dr. Tan Ke can only wait for the jumo engine whose design speed is seriously lagging into production.

Without a new type of engine, the experimentation of the new fighter aircraft seems to be a bit difficult. The failure of various design indicators has put the development of a new fighter into a dilemma.

The head of state requires this new fighter to have a strong range in design, at least more than 2,000 kilometers with auxiliary fuel tanks.

In fact, this requirement has not increased much, because this data is converted into an actual combat radius, which is at most 600 kilometers.

The intelligence services of the German military speculate that the new fighter aircraft being developed by the United States will have a powerful range of 2,700 kilometers and a terrifying combat radius of more than 1,200 kilometers.

Therefore, after being destined to be inferior to the United States in terms of range, the other combat performance of German fighter jets has been increased accordingly.

For example, in terms of firepower, the head of state emphasized the interception function of fighter jets, as well as the damage performance of weapons; the new fighter jets are equipped with four 20mm caliber cannons, and the firepower is very powerful.

Each cannon has 70 rounds of ammunition, adding up to a total of 280 rounds. This kind of firepower is quite ferocious, and can easily shred a bomber.

During the British air battle, some German fighter jets were equipped with 7.92mm caliber machine guns, which were almost eliminated at this time.

Even German fighter jets with such machine guns now use 20mm cannons on the wings to make up for the lack of firepower.

The emergence of the new b-17 bomber, the German ju-188 bomber, made German fighter commanders very conscious and improved their weapon configuration.

The self-defense weapons of large bombers are very complete. When fighter jets lose their mobility at high altitudes, it is simply impossible to rely on small-caliber weapons to challenge these huge air gunboats.

The machine gun hits the fuselage of such a bomber, leaving only rows of holes, which will not cause any damage to its structure at all.

Therefore, in the face of the enemy's large bombers, the continuous firepower of small-caliber machine guns cannot play a decisive role in killing, and the advantages brought by sufficient ammunition cannot be exerted at all.

And as the war continued to expand, German fighter pilots gradually realized how their weapons should be configured to be the most reasonable.

This is the experience of playing in battle, and it is a habit that is unclear. Only after truly experiencing the flames of war can we find such a reasonable balance on the brink of life and death.

German fighter jets have the defect of short legs, and the time in the air is not long. Even after the ammunition was sufficient and the fuel was exhausted, the fighter had to return and leave the battlefield.

Therefore, the best state is: when the fighter is out of fuel, the ammunition in the weapon is just finished. Therefore, more and more fighter pilots like to equip large-caliber cannons to increase their damage capabilities.

Another reason why Germany has begun to focus on guns is that the quality of fighter pilots is steadily improving.

It can be said that after logistical improvements such as apprenticeships and Air Force schools, the Luftwaffe can be said to be a strategic force with the highest quality of pilots.

In this case, German fighter pilots can often deal with the enemy calmly. Elite pilots and a relaxed state of mind keep them from wasting their ammo like a rookie.

It can be said that German fighters are becoming more and more elite and veterans, and they are becoming less and less friendly to newcomers and rookies, which is also in line with their own strengths and characteristics.

The more skilled the attack, the more the pursuit of efficiency. A momentary mistake by the enemy was enough to leave an attack window for the German pilots, and damage was very important at this time.

The practice of rolling fire in the sky and wasting the ammunition carried in the fuselage has become increasingly rare in the sky.

In just half a year, the changes in the German fighter force are far more than that. The cancellation and replacement of the shaft gun is also an important milestone in the development trend.

It turned out that the German pilots were superstitious about the axle gun and liked to install an axle gun on the fighter jet for combat. This design certainly has its advantages, that is, aiming is easier and more precise.

But in the same way, this weapon design idea also has drawbacks: not to mention taking up valuable space in the nose, it also restricts the improvement of the engine and the installation of subsequent devices.

For example, the supercharger of the db engine is installed on the side of the engine because of the relationship of the shaft gun - this obviously makes the nose more bloated and is not conducive to reducing the resistance.

Now, German fighters have generally abandoned the shaft gun design and adopted the wing fire arrangement of the British and American Meteor. This makes the follow-up development of fighter jets more in line with objective laws.

This series of improvements were eventually applied by Dr. Tan Ke to the arrangement of the new fighter.

Including a new flight pressurized cockpit, a new wing design, and the self-sealing fuel tank that the Führer repeatedly emphasized.

"Ah!" Sitting in his seat, Dr. Tank yawned. He had been busy with the new fighter recently and was quite tired.

The Führer has proven with practical actions that he is not only a successful politician, a powerful leader, and an invincible powerhouse, he is also a technocrat.

Under the inspiration and request of the head of state, Germany is desperately innovating from pistols and rifles to aircraft, tanks, submarines and warships.

He seems to always find what he wants and develop the most suitable weapons and equipment for war. It's a gift, Dr. Tank has always thought.

"Doctor! This is the latest test flight report. Our fighter jet flew at a top speed of 490 kilometers per hour." An engineer walked into Dr. Tan Ke's office and handed him a test flight document.

The latest ta-152 fighter jets use the db-601e engine, which is designed to produce a measly 1,400 horsepower.

This is a far cry from the power output of the new engine that Dr. Tanker requires, as the new engine is required to have an output of at least around 2,200 horsepower.

"The stability and maneuverability of the flight are not bad~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We are now waiting for that **** engine." Dr. Tan Ke glanced at the report and said to his subordinates.

"The take-off and landing performance of the aircraft is good. We have freed up some space to use a larger fuel tank. If necessary, we can also increase the ammunition base." The engineer reported a fairly good news.

Dr. Tank nodded and said in agreement: "In this way, the range of the aircraft can be increased. This is good news for us, it can at least **** the ju-88, isn't it? "

The Japanese technology is really good and can effectively reduce the weight of the aircraft. If it weren't for the concerns about the strength of the aluminum alloy and the ignition point, the range and maneuverability of the new fighter might be further improved.

It's just that the head of state once said that German fighter jets should not use aluminum-magnesium alloys as the main load-bearing material, which would easily affect the resulting strength of the aircraft.

He believed in this concern, because the Fuhrer's forward-looking performance was unmatched by few others.

"Yes! Dr. Tank... But even so, the fighter's ability to stay in the air still has some shortcomings. It is only a little better than our existing fighter." The engineer mentioned this with some regret.

The accumulation of German fighter jets in piston engine technology is actually not strong. The strongest engine technology in this era is in the hands of the United States and the United Kingdom.

In just a few fields, German engineers have taken their own way to the forefront of the world, which is barely equal.

It is precisely because of this that Li Le, a traverser who knows how powerful the enemy is and also knows that he has many shortcomings, will bet on newer weapon technology.
