Chapter 2547: Collision of Wisdom One
"You cannot deny that although the armistice treaty has restrictions on your country, we really do our best to take care of your country's face and interests. We are more kind to your country than Britain, Russia and Belgium! In this world In fact, only we have shown goodwill to your country, so from a realistic point of view, is the hatred between the two countries important?"
"Your Excellency must also know that the Kingdom of Bavaria has opened its auto market to France. This is a kind gesture, and even the French government has expressed its support and appreciation. Then, do you still need to dwell on the previous hatred? And this time, I I came to France to conduct technology and business exchanges. Can we not talk about politics but technology and business?"
Heinkel said that at the end of the conversation, Heinkel could feel that Marcel's hostility was very small. As Heinkel said, even the French government and citizens of this plane still have a grudge against Germany in their hearts. , but the future environment will force them to make the right choice. If France wants to maintain its status and economic interests, it must get closer to Germany and Austria, and as time goes by, the hostility between each other will be diluted by actual interests.
"Well, as a customer, especially a customer who came to Toulouse from Bavaria so soon, even at this point, we should have a technical discussion. If you have any questions, I can try my best to answer them. said Marcel.
"Okay, the first question, when you designed this aircraft, you equipped it with three machine guns, two of which were arranged in the lower part of the engine, and the other chose to be deployed on the side of the engine. So I want to know why you don't install the 13.2MM machine gun in the main shaft of the engine? In this way, the drag on the front of the aircraft can be reduced, and the fire trajectory will be better. According to your previous arrangement, the bullet's landing point will be Leaning to one side of the plane. It's a bad feeling," Heinkel said.
"Because I don't like the layout of the shaft gun. Although in terms of actual combat, the shaft gun of your country's J6 fighter jet plus the two machine guns arranged on the upper part of the inverted V-shaped engine has a very good performance, but I think this deviates from the aerodynamics of the aircraft. Design principles." Marcel thought for a while and said.
"I don't understand what it means." Henkel frowned and said.
"According to the distance of fluid mechanics, we need to make the shape of the aircraft as smooth as possible, with as few protrusions as possible. Your country's late-stage aircraft are equipped with superchargers, and because of the shaft gun, your country put the supercharger The compressor is placed on one side of the plane, but that would necessarily increase the frontal area of the nose, so if I were designing the plane, I would remove the shaft cannon from the engine and put the supercharger behind the engine." Marcel thought for a while and said.
"Your thinking is very reasonable. In fact, someone has raised this issue with me before, but it is a pity that war is about reality rather than ideals. In some cases, it is acceptable as a compromise. .And if you don’t accept it, then you have to solve the problem. For example, I want to equip a future fighter jet with two 20MM machine guns and two 12.7MM machine guns at the same time. If it is you, how will the firepower be arranged?” Henkel asked.
"This question is very good. In fact, putting weapons in the nose is already a good solution. The early British and French fighters just put the machine guns outside the nose, or even on the upper wing." Ma Sayre said. "And for this situation, I also have a solution." Marcel took Henkel to a corner of the delivery room, and a huge canvas cover covered something.
"I think that modern aircraft design needs a revolution. The biplane and the wing made of several wooden boards have been developed to the limit. It is difficult to improve both the strength and the aerodynamic performance. The strength of the wing made of wood is limited. , if the double-wing mode is used, a support must be needed in the middle,
And these cables and brackets undoubtedly increased the resistance of the aircraft. So, I've been looking into using a whole new single wing to replace the two wing model. "Marcel walked over while talking, and then pulled away the quilt canvas. Then a huge thing similar to the wing box of later generations appeared in front of Henkel.
"To put it simply, it is to change the current wooden wing into a box, a well-designed wing box made of metal, you just asked me where the weapon is installed, it is very simple, just put it in this box. This can greatly enhance the strength of the wing, reduce drag, increase lift, and is more suitable for high-speed flight. Of course, this also increases the space that the aircraft can use." Marcel said.
"In addition to loading machine guns and ammunition here, we can also install fuel tanks." Then Marcel came to the other side and took out a soft fuel tank made of rubber and said.
"You want to put this flexible fuel tank directly in here? And fix it with brackets?" Henkel asked.
"Of course not. We also need a pressurization device to ensure that the fuel in the fuel tank can still enter the oil pipeline when the aircraft is maneuvering." Marcel said.
"Is that the end?" Henkel asked.
"That's the end." Marcel didn't think he had missed anything.
"It's a very good idea, but I want to say, you must have not conducted related experiments?" Henkel said with a smile.
"I don't understand you. Is there something wrong with my thinking?" Marcel asked.
"Your idea is very good, but it's a pity that with your current ability, you can't perfect this idea at all, because there are many details and precautions that will only be exposed in experiments, such as the soft fuel tank you just mentioned , in fact, it cannot be installed simply like this during the flight test, because when the aircraft is flying, the soft fuel tank will collide and rub against the bracket inside the wing, and you obviously have not thought about how to solve this problem, so, I'm sure you just have an idea, but you certainly haven't done an actual experiment." Henkel said with a smile.
