Chapter 2530 Marcel and the Jet Plane 4

However, this firepower configuration is still not enough to face a bomber like the B17! Therefore, in order to better kill those rough-skinned and thick-skinned air-weight mammoths, the Germans specially added additional weapon loads to the F190 fighter jets! The most commonly used ones are various cannon pods. Initially, two MG151 cannon pods were mounted on the lower part of the wing. Each pod contained two MG151 cannons and associated ammunition, but Germany People found that this simple method of stacking 20MM cannons seemed ineffective, so two other weapon pods later appeared. One was a pod equipped with MK108 cannons. Each pod contained a MK108 30MM The machine gun plus 55 rounds of ammunition each weighs 120KG. The other pod is even more brutal, equipped with a MK103 30MM machine gun and 35 rounds of artillery shells, each weighing 230KG!

The so-called F190 assault aircraft is still not enough when it comes to enhanced weapons, because when they attack the bomber group at close range, they will face ubiquitous machine gun fire. Therefore, in order to better attack the enemy, in order to be able to see the sun tomorrow, As the Germans increase their armaments, they also need to add additional armor protection!

In fact, the F190 fighter itself has certain armor protection, mainly the front engine armor and cockpit armor. The total weight is between 137KG and 165KG. And if it is to be converted into a submachine gun, the armor weight increases to 248KG, which is another additional weight load!

Well, in order to kill bombers more efficiently, as an interceptor, it must carry enough weapons and armor, and this kind of load is something that the historical MiG-15 cannot bear. So, the load situation of the historical MiG-15 How? The internal fuel capacity of the MiG-15bis is 1400L. This amount of fuel is definitely not enough in normal combat. (Don’t compare the fuel consumption of jet aircraft with that of fighter jets. That won’t work. After all, fuel consumption is not at the same level.) So it must hang fuel tanks. The MiG-15bis can hang auxiliary fuel tanks from 250L to 600L on the wings. In this case, he has no ability to hang additional weapons!

But in reality, as an interceptor, you have to carry additional fuel pods along with the drop tanks! Because the weight and resistance of the aircraft have greatly increased, the fuel consumption will definitely increase. If the internal fuel is not enough, you naturally have to carry auxiliary fuel tanks, and you must climb first before intercepting at high altitude. Climbing with such a high load is naturally very fuel-consuming, so as an aircraft As an interceptor, you must carry drop tanks and weapons at the same time! And under such requirements, the MiG-15 will definitely not be able to do it! Because the load condition does not allow it!

So can the mystery fighter do it? Of course it is possible. The dead weight of the mysterious fighter is 4100KG, and the maximum take-off weight is 7900KG. Well, in addition to internal fuel, weapons and ammunition, this aircraft also has a load of nearly 2 tons, which means that it can carry two 450L auxiliary fuel tanks at the same time, and carry two more rounds weighing 1,000 pound bomb, or 16 rounds of rockets. With such a large load capacity, if you perform an air interception mission, it is natural to replace the bomb with a cannon pod. Of course, you can also carry anti-aircraft rockets. !

Just from the perspective of interception needs,

If Ruprecht had to make a choice, he would choose the Mystic over the MiG-15. Because the load of the latter is really bad, it cannot be changed into a so-called assault machine at all. Of course, if you want to be able to build an F86-level aircraft, it would be better, but the current guaranteed choice is the mysterious fighter, and it will definitely be changed in the future!

In fact, judging from the current needs of Germany, the BF109 is not suitable for the German Air Force in the future. The reason is very simple. In the future, Germany's land battlefield will mainly face Russia. The miserable range of the BF109 is definitely not suitable for the vast territory of the Eastern Front. And what if it was used to fight the British on the Western Front? In fact, it is not suitable. After all, in the Battle of Britain, the internal oil of the BF109 was not enough, and the weapon load was too small. The configuration of one 20MM artillery and two machine guns is not powerful enough, and the 20MM machine gun ammunition is not too much...

In the future, in terms of range, the smallest aircraft Germany can accept is the F190. It would be best if a fighter jet like the P51 could be developed in the future. If not, then an aircraft like the F4U would be fine. Then there are the jet aircraft, and the jet aircraft is currently planned to be based on the historical Dassault MD.450 mystery fighter. This line is relatively safe and not too difficult to implement.

Ruprecht has already thought about the future jet aircraft development team, and put Marcel and Dr. Tank in charge of the fighter jets. After all, Dr. Tan Ke is also very famous in history. During World War II, he developed aircraft such as the F190. And he is also the designer of TA183.

He was even one of the few Germans with experience in jet aircraft design after World War II. Dr. Tan Ke once helped the Indians design their first fighter jet, the HF24 Fengshen fighter. Dr. Tank and his assistants began working for India in 1956 and continued until 1967! After he left office, the subsequent design of the Fengshen fighter can be described as GG. Generally speaking, Dr. Tan Ke can be considered a fierce person!

Well, since Dr. Tank is here, why not just copy the historical Fengshen fighter design? There are two reasons. First, the Fengshen fighter itself came out very late. It first flew in 1961 and entered service in 1867. And it is a twin-engine aircraft. In fact, if the German engine was not too unreasonable, Ruprecht did not want to use twin engines on the first-generation jet aircraft, because the thrust-to-weight ratio of early jet engines was very low, and air combat at this time was still close. In machine gun combat, the thrust-to-weight ratio is very important. Twin-engine aircraft are not necessarily better than single-engine aircraft.

The second point is that the Fengshen fighter has relatively high engine requirements and needs to use a very high-end engine. Historically, the engine used by Fengshen has a low thrust of only 22 kilonewtons. But its weight is only 379 kilograms! This technology is currently unavailable in any case. And if there is such a high-level engine, who would make a Fengshen? Just make a Phantom!

As for the engine, the team in German history should be responsible for it. The fathers of the German jet engine, Ohain and Ernst Heinkel, should be led by them. The former was also reused in the United States after World War II, and it was the same as the 1956 He served as the director of the Air Force Laboratory in 1975 and became the chief scientist of the U.S. Aerospace Propulsion Laboratory in 1975. This technical ability is guaranteed. People like Hans Moltke and Sharp can also be retained. Generally speaking, as long as the correct ideas are given and resources can be guaranteed, this team is still very effective. It is not a big problem to come up with a good engine. .
