"Still, it's a little pleasing to the eye. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "At the Munich Aviation Training Center, Ruprecht finally saw a single-engine biplane that met the aesthetics of the traverser. This aircraft is purely from the appearance point of view, a bit close to the historical CL-1 aircraft, of course, compared with this use of metal skin, and armor protection of the German 1 war attack aircraft, most of this aircraft is still wooden structure, no armor, the power of the engine is only 130 horsepower, but the shape of the aircraft is not bad, according to the later Dassault boss, a good aircraft is first of all the standard of a beautiful aircraft. (For this sentence, the author Jun very much agrees, F16 and F15 are better looking than the Mirage 2000, so the former is stronger ........) This aircraft should have the standard to crush contemporaries.

"This aircraft has almost completely refreshed our aviation record, this is our first aircraft with a speed of more than 150 kilometers, and it is also the first single-engine aircraft with an empty weight of 620kg and a total combat weight of 850kg, it has very good maneuverability, and the combat radius has reached about 200 kilometers." Daimler began to enthusiastically introduce the new aircraft, known as the J-5, to the prince

"The main armament can be selected from a 12.7mm machine gun, with the former having a reserve of about 500 rounds, or two MG04 7.92mm machine guns, which can have a reserve of 1,200 rounds. If the pilot is lighter and has less fuel, he can also carry a 40kg bomb. Pilots have the option of dropping bombs by hand or with pylons under the wings. ”

"This aircraft also has the advantage of being era-free, that is, the structural strength is sufficient, and under full load, the J-5 fighter can dive at an angle of 45 degrees and at a maximum speed of no more than 180 kilometers. The maximum overload in air combat can reach about 3G. At the test site, we reached a maximum dive angle of 60 degrees, and several tests were carried out, and the aircraft did not have any problems. This aircraft also has a good nickname, we call it Sparrowhawk! ”

"I can responsibly say that if this aircraft can be put into service, I am afraid that there will be no works that can surpass this aircraft in the next 10 years!" Eventually, Daimler concluded.

"Hehe, that's because you don't know how fast the technology will develop in the future." The prince said in his heart, the technology of this plane is about 5 years ahead of history, in fact, the outbreak of aviation technology in World War 1 has also accumulated to this point, as long as you can grasp the design direction, the performance of the engine will be greatly improved, this aircraft is already very good from the appearance, as for the specific aerodynamic layout, it is not bad from the wind tunnel test, the only problem is that the engine power is a little small, only 130 horsepower.

"But it's okay, at least it's enough to deal with the Russians, and if nothing else, it can be used on the Eastern Front until the end of the war." The prince was quite satisfied with this aircraft.

"How many of these planes do we have now? What is the potential for improvement in this aircraft? The prince thought for a moment and asked.

"We currently have four test aircraft, and there is still a lot of potential for improvement in this type of aircraft, in fact, the engine compartment in the head of our aircraft can be smaller, and according to your instructions, we have left enough room for the new engine, and the strength of the aircraft is also enough." Count Lilinthal on the side said. He did the aerodynamic design of the flight, so he naturally had a say.

The weight of the aircraft can be deducted a little bit, and there are many aircraft in history in order to pursue performance and lead to problems in the later upgrades, such as the history of the BF109 fighter, after the replacement of a larger and heavier DB605 engine, there was a bulge on the nose engine compartment, can not put down. And the reason why the performance of the later Zero aircraft did not go up was also because it was not equipped with heavier and larger engines?

Therefore, the prince demanded that the aircraft need to leave a certain amount of redundancy for improvement, and even before the appearance of the J-5 aircraft, the prince asked the designers to consider the situation of replacing the engine with about 220 horsepower in the future. At the same time, the structure of the aircraft is required to be as strong as possible.

"I personally think that this aircraft can meet our needs for small-scale support and air combat on the front line, if we use the J-5 as the basis for weight reduction, we can completely reduce the weight on the basis of ensuring the performance of air combat by more than 100kg, in this way, the performance of the aircraft will be greatly improved, at least the speed will be increased by about 20 kilometers is not a problem."

"And if we can replace the engine with about 200 horsepower, then in the case of a combat radius of 100 kilometers, the aircraft can carry about 80kg to 120kg of bombs. And maintain good controllability. In other words, this aircraft is an aircraft that concentrates the requirements of both air combat and ground support. This is also the essential difference between the J-5 aircraft and the J-1 aircraft. Lilinthal said.

"Very good, a bit of a fighter-bomber of later generations. Look at this one with a height of 2.8 meters. Small aircraft with a length of 6,5 meters and a wing length of 9 meters. The prince was still satisfied. In particular, I am even more satisfied with this feature that has a certain amount of ground attack capability at the same time. The Russian Air Force is not an opponent, and the aircraft is more likely to carry out ground suppression, and if the problem of front-line suppression is solved, then more twin-engine bombers can be freed up to carry out strikes against targets in depth. It is cost-effective both from the operational effect and from the economic point of view.

The only slight pity is that the engine power is not too large, otherwise, if the German aero engine can be as NB as the British, if the aircraft is equipped with a 375 horsepower Rolls-Royce engine, Ruprecht does not mind making a German version of the DH-4 light bomber, the maximum bomb load of this aircraft is about 250kg, and the combat radius is not only 100 kilometers .......

"You can try to produce a squadron first, and the training and tactical study of pilots can begin." Ruprecht said to Baron Schmidt next to him.

"So what about the future command system of the Air Force? Is it part of the Army or a separate army? Baron Schmidt asked.

"The Air Force is a separate army." The prince said without hesitation that there are only two kinds of problems in the world about the ownership of the air force, one is subordinate to the army, such as the army and navy of the United States and Japan in World War II. The other is similar to Britain and Germany, directly establish independent air forces, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages, for the former, if the air force only belongs to the army, the air force will be more powerful for the army, and the contact will be more convenient. But the air force is relatively scattered.

Of course, these problems are nothing to the deep-pocketed US imperialists. But if the air force of the size of Britain or Germany is vested in the army and navy, then it will not be easy for the Royal Air Force to form a strategic bomber force, if nothing else. As for Germany, I am afraid that the losses of the air force will be greater, because in World War 2, the Luftwaffe can choose to enter or exit the battlefield according to its own situation. And if the Air Force is to be consumed like the Soviet Union, it is estimated that the Luftwaffe will collapse by the end of 44.
