Chapter 424: No Airplane Has Ever Made Me Love at First Sight
General Albert Braun, who was appointed by Ciric to be the head of the entire Libyan base, is a general, but he is a technical soldier, so he does not have much power in his hands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He came here mainly to coordinate the scientific research of various institutions.
Now, the bases in Libya are very large, and in addition to the usual institutions, there are secret rockets, atomic bombs, etc., and each of them has a person in charge, and these people often don't take Albert seriously.
Albert's biggest role is to provide logistical support, and if he does anything about it, then the actual person in charge of these projects will go directly to Ciric to complain.
So, Albert is here, ostensibly in charge, but in fact he is just a coordinator.
Many people don't pee on him, including Messerschmitt, when the successful development of the BF109, Messerschmitt has gained great personal prestige, and now the new jet is a big killer that can change the situation of air combat, far more than the FW190 that is now in the limelight.
And the test flight in Libya will soon be over, and now, there is just such an opportunity, of course, cannot be given up!
Put the aircraft into actual combat, in order to be able to test more problems, the original BF109 is in actual combat, the test of the weapon is not enough, only to replace the shaft gun.
It's the same now, jets, what needs to be improved, start with a real battle!
Of course, if Albert really comes, Messerschmitt also has to give the other party a face, after all, you can't just say that it is stiff, now, while Albert is not there, quickly fly the plane to meet the enemy, and when Albert comes, the plane has already flown up, and he will not be able to do it at that time!
Hurry up and load the shells!
In the past, propeller aircraft, the front of the nose was a propeller, and it was not easy to install an aerial gun, the shaft gun space was narrow, and other aircraft guns needed to be synchronized with the propeller, so as not to hit the propeller, and the caliber could not be too large.
In today's jets, the engines are on the wings on both sides, and the space in the nose is completely freed up, so this original prototype was fitted with four electrically operated MK 108/30mm guns in the nose.
Yes, it is 4 guns, 30 mm guns, the firepower is absolutely ferocious, this aircraft was designed, the first goal was to kill the enemy's bombers.
A 30mm shell is so powerful that it can tear apart the opponent with just one shot!
These four guns have 100 rounds of ammunition on the top and 80 rounds on the bottom.
During the test flight, the cannon will not be loaded with shells, and it will only be loaded when the weapon is fired, so now, it is necessary to reload quickly!
The surrounding technicians immediately came up, pushed the 30mm chain, and quickly loaded the ME262, and as soon as it was loaded, it was ready to take off.
And Wendell is also extremely excited, as the chief test pilot of the Messerschmitt company, he has no chance to go to the battlefield, this time, he can finally fight freely.
In his head, he was working on tactics quickly.
Just as the ammunition refilling was about to be completed, the sound of a motorcycle could be heard in the distance, and Dr. Messerschmitt turned his head uneasily, and sure enough, saw the person he least wanted to see.
Albert is coming.
"Mr. Messerschmitt, please stop this flight immediately." Albert said: "The ME262 fighter is a secret of ours, and there must be no leaks. ”
"How could this be?" "This is the desert, so we can keep it a secret by going up and shooting down all those bombers to make sure that no one can go back?" ”
Although in the face of the signal soldier, Messerschmitt said a rolling word, in fact, it was not his rudeness, he just wanted to scare the other party away, who would have thought that Albert would come over so soon.
Of course he had to speak well.
"This is the rules of the base, if you break the rules, please leave the base." Albert said.
The tiger is not powerful, what about the sick cat? In the past, Albert was so kind that anyone wanted to bully him, but now, he will not compromise.
If you don't want to be there, just get out, such a good place, it's not something you can find casually, you try to test fly in Germany? British spies will definitely find out as soon as possible.
However, when Albert said this, it was discovered that he was wrong.
Messerschmitt just wanted to play cover, to cover Wendell on the plane.
And now, as soon as his words fell, the characteristic roar of the jet appeared.
Left start, right start. Two engines, successfully sparkling, Wendell certainly won't give up this opportunity.
"Wait for the punishment of the Führer of Shirek!" Standing aside, Albert knew that he couldn't stop the other party, and couldn't help but say angrily.
At this time, ME262 has already begun to glide on the runway.
In this era, Germany's aviation technology is definitely the most developed, and when the fighters of other countries are still working hard at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, they have already far surpassed each other.
As the chief test pilot of the ME262, Wendell has flown more than 200 hours on this aircraft, and the engine has been changed four times, and he is simply one with this aircraft.
Wendell gently pushed the throttle stick forward, and after thirty seconds, both Jumo 004s revved at 7,500 rpm, and gradually reached 8,500, which was already its maximum power.
Then, Wendell released the brakes, and on his back, a violent push was heard, and the plane shot out like an arrow, reaching 180 kilometers per hour in a matter of seconds.
He gently pulled the lever back, and the nose was raised, and after a few seconds of continued gliding, the main landing gear also left the ground, and the five-ton ME262 flew off the runway.
As a pilot, that's what I love the most!
Wendell's mind was thinking about the days he had been with ME262 in the first place, when he couldn't fly the plane anyway.
Theoretically, a 5-ton aircraft would be able to lift its tail at speeds of more than 180 kilometers per hour, but the plane would not be able to get up.
What's going on? The results show that the aircraft is in a high-head posture when taxiing at high speed, the angle of attack of the main wing is too large, and the influence of the engine pod forms a wide range of turbulent field behind the main wing, and the tail in the turbulent flow fails.
Wendell boldly proposes a way to use the front brake to force the high-speed taxiing plane to bow its head and get rid of the turbulence in the tail!
He boldly tried, braked at high speed, and then. With a slight lever, the plane leaves the ground effortlessly!
The Me 262 is at home in the air and is very sensitive to rudder manoeuvres. After getting off the plane, Wendell excitedly said, "There has never been a plane that made me fall in love at first sight!" ”
Wendell loved the plane, and now he wanted to use it to take out the hateful British!
In the headset, a call from the ground came: "Feiyan No. 3, please return immediately, Feiyan No. 3, please return immediately." ”
Pressing the intercom, Wendell replied: "Feiyan 3 received, please indicate the location of the enemy bomber, please indicate the location of the enemy bomber!" ”
