Chapter 1783 Transition Flight

Some parts will be hit a lot, and it depends on the shooting angle of both sides. Among them, the wing and other places are the most likely to be hit.

Although it was hit a lot, it came back after all. What does this mean? These places are meant to be beaten! And those parts with few bullets are fatal in one blow. For example, the engine at the rear, as long as a bullet hits, it may cause the engine to fail.

The axial flow engine inside has a speed of tens of thousands of revolutions. Even if a piece of light aluminum alloy debris is sucked in, it is likely to cause major accidents.

Ted's proposal made Nowotny's eyes shine, and he couldn't help asking: "What did you do before joining the army?"

"I'm still in college," Ted said. "I'm studying statistics."

Last year, Ted was still in college. As a third-year student, he had a restless heart. After many applications, he finally left the university temporarily, entered the aviation school, and began to learn to fly, even if he had It took him a year to officially graduate from the aviation school with his glider flying experience.

A rookie like him is actually not good. Germany has quite advanced aviation schools. Many front-line pilots will come down from the front line and teach in the rear after they have accumulated enough military exploits. They teach by words and deeds and pass on their own experience. It is given to trainees, and must undergo sufficient confrontation training to graduate.

This is absolutely different from the kind of pilot who has just learned to fly a plane and is then driven into the battlefield by a duck.

They already have the ability to fight. If they lack, it is that confrontation training can never replace actual combat. From this perspective, it is absolutely right to say that they are rookies, but as long as they have been baptized by one or two battles, they will immediately mature.

With a well-known pilot in place, Nowotny also got into the fighter, expertly starting the engines, rolling down the runway, taking off, and heading west.

Behind him, the fighter jets took off from the runway smoothly, and the transition flight of the Nowotny flight group started again.

For fighter units, transitions are very common. After all, the range of front-line fighters is not large. Even if they have a long range, the closer they are to the front line, the faster their support will be.

Therefore, they are used to switching frequently.

The direct flight from Iceland to Greenland is not very far, and after almost climbing to cruising altitude, after a few minutes of flying, it is time to descend.

Nowotny adjusted the radio navigator in front of him. He heard the unique sound of radio navigation in the earphones. He adjusted the nose slightly to make the sound louder, and then continued to fly.

Navigation is a big deal for any pilot.

But in this day and age, it's much more convenient.

In the past, it almost relied on the experience of the pilot, aeronautical charts, compasses, and manual calculations, which were all indispensable.

When there is a radar, it will be a boon for the defending fighter units. Under the guidance of the ground radar, they can go straight to the target, and the ground will give data such as the flight direction, and after completing the interception, they can also Returning home under the guidance of the ground, everything is very simple, after having GPS with future generations, fools can go to unfamiliar cities without getting lost.

(Not swearing, Huadong Zhixiong is such a fool. The destination was in front of him, but he followed the navigation and made a big circle.)

In addition to radar, the application of radio navigation is also quite convenient. In the air force base, a navigation antenna is set up to transmit electromagnetic signals. Then, as long as the fighter plane flies towards the signal, the signal strength is the largest, and it can fly all the time. In the past, the target was found.

This is the simplest principle of radio navigation.

The target airport is said to be very secretive and cannot be seen from the sky, and they are flying for the first time. In addition to using aeronautical charts, the most important thing is navigation.

After continuing to fly for a while, Nowotny was able to receive the signal from the base radar station and conduct the voice guidance phase.

According to the radar station's prompt, the altitude was lowered until it was almost flying close to the ground, and when it had entered the final landing route, Nowotny finally saw the air force base with the same color as the nearby ground. It was really hard to detect!

If American bombers came to bomb, they would definitely not be found.

Nowotny's fighter plane landed on the runway with a standard attitude and slid to the apron, and behind him, the planes also landed skillfully, especially those rookies who had just entered the army, flew up, It was also very smooth, and the landing posture was very beautiful.

"Jets, definitely jets." On the distant mountains, two people in white snow suits were observing here with high-powered military binoculars, and one person whispered excitedly: "Quick, immediately. Telegram."

"No, we can't send a telegram, and if we do, the Germans will find out. We have to use the safest way." Another said, "I'm rowing out tonight to Baffin Island."

Germany's electronic technology is quite powerful. If there is an inexplicable radio signal, it will soon lead to the arrest of the Germans. At that time, their capture is secondary, and the most terrifying thing is to reveal their own actions. of.

There can be no omissions!

The white runway is connected with the surrounding white permafrost. This is the best protective color. Nothing can be seen from the air. The nearby hangars and towers are all white, and this color is all year round here.

When the hatch cover was opened, a cold wind poured in, which made Nowotny fight a cold war. From the perspective of latitude, it is similar to Iceland, but the temperature is really low!

At this low temperature, it is very difficult for ordinary propeller fighter jets to start, especially for air-cooled engines.

Liquid-cooled, you can use hot water to warm it up in advance, but air-cooled will not work. Lao Maozi often uses the method of roasting, which is the most dangerous.

The jet does not have these concerns, no matter what temperature, the jet can start smoothly.

Wrapped in the flight suit, Nowotny got off the plane: "Everyone, go to the conference room, we need to assign the combat readiness duty immediately."

This is at the forefront, and there will be Americans at any time to make trouble. It can be said that as long as they come here, they will be in battle at any time, and they must prepare from now on.

Nowotny is quite proficient in being familiar with the nearby airspace, conducting combat readiness duty, assigning flight teams, and being ready to deal with large-scale conflicts at any time.
