Chapter 1228 The Fateful Showdown (2)

The ground crew turned the propeller hard and started the 775-horsepower engine. In the roar of the engine, black smoke came out and the engine was started.

After releasing the brakes, Safonov relied on the power of the plane and slid to the runway. His body was bumping with the plane. He had no time to see the situation in the sky. He had to take off quickly before he could help. American friends from afar.

At this time, the experts from the Air Force Academy of Sciences, who had just run into the air-raid shelter, began to study this air battle. For them, this sudden air battle is not entirely a bad thing, at least they can See the performance of this fighter for the first time.

Especially the test pilot Grofastov who came here, he stared intently at the sky, looking at the circle drawn by the Flying Snake fighter jet in the air, and couldn't help but admire: "The hovering performance of this aircraft. Well, if I'm not mistaken, better than all the planes we have now."

The layout of the nose is conducive to reducing air resistance, and the various rudder surfaces are wide, making it quite easy to operate at low altitudes.

It's better than the Soviet Union's own aircraft, especially the outer shell, all aluminum alloy, looks like it.

At this time, in the air, Roy had already caught up with the opponent. Instead of firing immediately, he kept pushing the lever to change his position.

Either don't fire the cannon, once the cannon is fired, it will kill the opponent with one cannon!

The firepower of the Flying Snake fighter is quite powerful. For example, its main weapon is the shaft gun deployed in the middle of the propeller, which is 37 mm, an absolute killer.

The drive shaft of more than three meters is already very powerful. If you empty the middle of the drive shaft and deploy the 37mm cannon, it will be even more powerful. At the same time, because the engine is placed at the rear, the front is freed so that the weight can be reduced. Class 37mm cannon mounted to the front.

If the engine is in the front, the 37mm cannon can only be hoisted, so it will be much more difficult for the pilot to aim and shoot.

Roy adjusted his direction quickly. At this time, the FW190 in front was still looking for the disappearing target back and forth crookedly, and after more than ten seconds of tracking, Roy had already mastered the opponent's law.

You can't fly in a straight line in an air battle. The other party obviously knows this, but the other party doesn't know either, and regular curves are also inappropriate.

For example, now, the other party's flight changes direction almost every three seconds, and the interval between left and right. Now, Roy counts down three seconds, and pushes his nose away, and according to the preset advance amount, he is ready to press own button.

However, almost instinctively, before pressing the button, he raised his head and glanced at the sky, which immediately caused a cold sweat on his back.

A FW190 has already whistled and dived down, and black smoke has begun to rise from the shaft of the opponent's nose propeller!

If Roy hadn't glanced at it, his plane would definitely have been hit by the opponent, but now, he immediately gave up the attack on the plane in front, put the stick, and the fighter turned 90 degrees around the fuselage axis, and the whole plane turned 90 degrees. The wings became vertical, and he pulled the stick, and the plane began to turn.

The opponent swooped down from the sky, and the wing with the largest projected area was the wing. Now that he kept the wing upright, he perfectly avoided the opponent's attack.

At the same time, his steering is also very particular. According to his preconceived assumptions, if the opponent misses a single hit and wants to continue to attack him, he can only level up and fight with himself in the horizontal direction. Circling in this airspace is actually trying to lure the opponent to fight with him, so that he can turn the situation over and even shoot down the opponent in the end.

But he was disappointed.

The opponent was very cautious. After missing a hit, he immediately got out of the diving state and began to climb upwards.

From diving to climbing, it takes a process. In Roy's field of vision, he saw the nose of the opponent's plane pulled up, and the fuselage gradually became level. When the fuselage was leveled, he and the opponent were almost in one height.

At this time, Roy thought the other party was going to catch up.

From Roy's point of view, he could even see the other side's canopy. At this time, the planes of the two sides were just parallel, and no one could do anything about it.

At this time, the golden sunlight shone on the cockpit, and the scattered sunlight was a little dazzling. Roy could not see the face of the pilot in the cockpit opposite, and the other party was wearing goggles and an oxygen mask, so he couldn't see clearly at all.

The other party just thought about Roy and raised his middle finger. This action made Roy feel a little familiar.

Just when Roy thought that the other party was going to circle in the horizontal plane and the two sides staged a scene of fighting with each other, the nose of the other party was still rising.

It seemed that the middle finger stimulated Roy, and it seemed that Roy wanted to compare with the other party. Roy actually pulled the control lever back, and the two fighter planes began to climb up almost at the same time.

From a distance, the two fighter planes were climbing upwards almost parallel. This maneuver was not of much value, and even Grofastov frowned.

"In this case, whoever has insufficient climbing ability and enters the dive state first will have a disadvantage, and there will be no danger in the climb. It depends on who gives up the climb first. You have enough confidence in your own plane or you wouldn't have put yourself in this situation."

In the eyes of the ground personnel, the two planes climbed up and climbed. From this point of view, it seems that the Flying Snake fighter has some advantages.

What are you doing? At this time, Roy in the sky was the first to wake up. Just now, he was stimulated by the movement of that finger. This movement was too familiar. When he used to fly in the sky with his best student, the other party often asked He hooked his fingers, and the two of them started racing in the sky as if they had just gotten their beloved racing car.

You are fighting now, how could you make such a mistake?

It must have been the long flight that made him delirious, Roy pinched himself hard, thinking about the way to get rid of it.

Because his plane flew over a long distance, when he got here, the fuel was almost empty, so his current climb seems to be very easy, but he knows that compared with the FW190, it is definitely a climb. court death.

According to reliable information, the engine output of this aircraft is as high as 2,000 horsepower. It is said that there are special means to make the power output reach about 2,500 horsepower in a short period of time. If you compare the latest domestic P-51, it may still have Hope, absolutely not now.

Suddenly, he remembered that when the other party did this, he actually wanted to get the climbing parameters of his own fighter jet. He really didn't expect that the other party would still do this during the battle. It was like playing with himself.

At this time, the engine in front had begun to vibrate abnormally. After scanning the altimeter, Roy's expression changed even more. It was not good, and he could no longer climb.
