Chapter 264 Goering Is Thin-Skinned
The pilot, Rick, carefully observed the front deck of the aircraft carrier while constantly adjusting his glide line.
In the jet age of later generations, there must be various landing aids to help pilots land, but now, it all depends on the real ability of the pilots themselves.
From the sky, the deck of the aircraft carrier on the sea is really too small, and it is still shaking!
Even if the take-off and landing characteristics of the propeller plane are better, that is a huge challenge! The pilots landed at sea after simulating many times on land, and the first landing was thrilling for everyone.
Of course, it doesn't matter this time. In the previous trials, they have landed many times. For example, Rick, the hero of Hainan Airlines who returned from Spain, this is his 14th landing.
The glide line is very beautiful. When his fuselage dropped to level with the aircraft carrier, he just came to the end of the deck. His plane touched the aircraft carrier lightly, and then he heard the normal friction of the wheels. Sound, landed accurately!
The nose of the plane was high, and Rick used both sides as a reference, and firmly hooked a blocking cable.
Landed successfully!
This plane was towed to the parking area of the triangle, and at the same time, the next plane followed and landed smoothly, one after another, and landed 20 all the time. This is the standard of a HNA brigade, and Rick , is the captain of this brigade!
"Well, this plane looks good." Rick just opened the cockpit and saw a chubby officer wearing an Air Force uniform. Rick saluted immediately: "Hello, General!"
It was Goering who came. The current Goering is still a general. In later generations, it was not until after the occupation of France that Goering was promoted to air marshal.
While the others on the bridge were still watching the planes land and watch the tense and orderly scheduling on the deck, Goering had already run to the deck, and he couldn't wait to see the plane.
This plane looks longer, on the one hand, because of the front air-cooled engine, on the other hand, it is to be equipped with more fuel, and at the same time, the cockpit is what Goering is most looking forward to.
He greeted Rick to come down, he climbed up by himself, sat inside, the instrument was very familiar, and at the same time, he felt that the sitting position was very high, and the surrounding vision was extremely wide!
Historically, no matter what kind of aircraft in Germany, the high-altitude performance of the fighter has not been good because of the low fuel grade and the high-performance multi-stage supercharger. Now, this broken leg has been improved, at least, repaired. The passenger aircraft made by Sri Lanka needs to have excellent high-altitude performance.
The high-altitude air is thin and the resistance is small, so you can fly farther. Therefore, Hughes brought a lot of American technology, which completely solved the problem of the supercharger. In the early stage, the BMW engine reached 1800 horsepower, which can work well in altitudes of more than seven kilometers.
At the same time, the high-power engine can make up for the lack of aerodynamics, so that the various data of this aircraft exceed the BF109!
Although Goering wanted to say that he wanted to find a chance to try it out, but when he remembered that the engine of this aircraft had a full 1800 horsepower, he did not propose this idea. The Navy knew the parameters of its own BF109. , that is definitely beyond.
"General Goring, isn't the navy's plane good?" A voice came from behind.
On the deck, the wind was blowing, and everyone was extremely excited.
The German navy has finally become stronger, they have their own aircraft carrier and their own carrier aircraft! Now, this row of carrier-based aircraft is placed here, which is really spectacular!
For Goering, there were countless flames rising in his heart at this time.
Although the aircraft factories in Germany are running at full capacity, limited by the output of the DB601 engine, the expansion of the Luftwaffe is still far behind expectations!
(In World War II, the total output of BF109 was as high as 35,000, which is quite shocking. Among them, the most important thing is that this aircraft is simple in design, easy to process, and the production time is half less than that of the Panther tank! However, the engine Production has always been in short supply. Also, this engine is being supplied to other aircraft.)
Now, this kind of aircraft uses BMW's engine, and there will be no rush for the engine. At the same time, BMW's production capacity is also sufficient. Why not order a batch of such aircraft for the Air Force?
In this way, the Air Force can go back and compare for themselves to see which of the two aircraft is suitable.
Thinking of this, Goering smiled and said to Cyric: "This kind of aircraft looks pretty good. Our Air Force wants to order a batch."
"General Goring? What are you talking about? I can't hear you?" Cyric shouted, the wind blowing hard on the deck.
"Our Air Force is going to order this kind of aircraft." Goring shouted loudly.
"Two years ago, didn't you say that the BF109 is the most advanced? You also said that the Navy must not be able to come up with an advanced aircraft?" Cyric said: "Now, do you regret it?"
Goering's complexion suddenly changed. His face was not thick at all. Of course, he still remembered the past.
He didn't want the navy to have planes. It would be appropriate for him to manage everything that could fly in the empire. So, he was creating various obstacles for the navy at that time, but now, the planes developed by the navy have exceeded his imagination.
Of course he wanted it, and Cyric needed an acknowledgment from him.
Are you sorry?
Although this aircraft was designed and produced by Fokker, the entire project was invested by the Navy. When the agreement was made, it was made clear that it could only be produced for the Navy. If others wanted to order it. , that must be approved by the Navy.
"Well, I can agree to equip the Navy's carriers with Air Force Stuka bombers," Goering said.
It is of course impossible for Goering to admit that he was wrong in the first place! Goering is a famous figure, how could he possibly say something wrong?
Therefore, Goering immediately changed. The original dispute stemmed from the fact that Goering did not want to equip the Navy with the Air Force's BF109, so the Navy would develop it by itself.
However, it is impossible to have only one type of aircraft on an aircraft carrier. After all, the role of an aircraft carrier is to carry fighter jets to attack the enemy.
Up to now, the Navy has invested all the funds to develop the FW190, and it is not easy. They have absolutely no extra funds to carry out the research and development of other aircraft, such as the most important dive bomber!
Simply, the two sides exchange, the Air Force can use the FW190, and the Navy can also use the Stuka. This dive bomber is also quite good for fighting warships at sea.
