Why is Li Le in a hurry to go to Bavaria? Because there's an important experiment going on there.

Just as the Führer arrived at the test site, in the brightly lit experimental base, the engineers were still debugging the engine in front of them for the next day's experiment.

Most of these engines were Germany's own jet engines, and a few were the most advanced jet engines from the UK.

There are obvious differences in the design of jet engines between the two sides: the German engine has more development potential, and of course it is also the prototype of the future military engine; And the engines of the British, on the other hand, took the route of reliability and had some differences from the engines of the German army.

Comparing the two engines, and combining the advantages of both, is exactly what German technicians are doing.

Experimenting with two types of aircraft engines and putting the first generation of German jet fighters into practical use as soon as possible is now their most important task.

Early aircraft jet engines were less reliable. Therefore, many design schemes use the design of two aero engines.

The twin-engine design is a very sensible choice to maintain flight reliability even after an engine failure.

In 1939, Germany had already sketched the basic shape of the early experimental ME-262 fighter on the drawings.

Even without the intervention of the false Führer Li Le, in real history, Germany would have produced the first experimental jet of the ME series in January 1941.

Its code name is familiar to everyone, it is the famous ME-262V1 experimental machine. It's just that this plane did not have a suitable engine, and it was tested with a piston engine.

And when it actually became a jet demonstrator, it was already March 1942.

Of course, the world's first jet test machine was not a product of the Messersmitt company, but a He-178 demonstrator.

Do you remember the order that Li Le once stipulated that each flying company was responsible for developing different types of aircraft?

That order allowed the Heinkel company, which originally produced the world's first jet aircraft, to give all the research results to the Messersmitt company, and also greatly advanced the development progress of the ME-262 fighter.

"I've never had a long break." When the sky was dark, Li Le's special train arrived in Bavaria.

And before he came to the test site, he also slept in the car. So the Führer is now in good spirits and is waiting to see his practical ME-262 fighter for test flights.

Not much different from the historical one, the ME-262 fighter was equipped with two engines, which were mounted under the wings.

It's still a familiar recipe, it's still a familiar taste...... It's just that the safety performance of this aircraft has improved a lot because of the reference to the technology of some British.

It is still an aircraft that has not been mass-produced, and most of the parts are processed by high-level skilled workers, with very good accuracy and very stable debugging.

After breakfast, a me-262 fighter without paint took off against the rising sun, showing the Fuhrer and many generals of the air force, showing the future of human warfare!

"The speed of a jet fighter can reach 800 kilometers per hour after the technology matures." A technical engineer explained his research and development to the Führer and the generals, and he was very careful in his wording.

Li Le, who is from the 21st century, snickered there, he has seen planes with twice or even three times the speed of sound, and he will be the king in the future.

In those distant times, Air Force fighters not only possessed speeds beyond sound, but could also cruise at supersonic speeds.

Advanced fighter jets can communicate with satellites, obtain real-time battlefield data, and attack targets hundreds of kilometers away with guided weapons accurate to the meter level......

Although he knew this, everyone around him didn't. So even the most technologically sensitive engineers dare to shock everyone in front of them with a figure that they think is exaggerated enough.

It can fly 800 kilometers in an hour, which can be said to be more than everyone imagined (of course, the fake Führer is not in everyone's range).

Because in this era, the maximum speed of fighter jets is generally between 500 and 600 kilometers per hour.

Even the Ta-152, the next generation of piston fighters being developed in Germany, is designed for a maximum speed of 750 km/h.

The advent of the jet engine suddenly refreshed the ceiling of the aircraft's speed.

"Are you sure? This kind of engine allows the aircraft to have a flight speed of 800 kilometers per hour? A senior Air Force general asked in disbelief.

If the Luftwaffe had mastered this technology first, equipped with such a powerful fighter, the whole world would have to surrender under the wing of the Air Force.

"Don't rejoice too soon, my general." Before the engineer could speak, Li Le interrupted the fantasies of all the air force generals.

He poured a basin of cold water on his head and pulled everyone back to reality: "The new engine is very fuel-guzzling...... In terms of range, it is a huge disadvantage. ”

Early jet fighters had a pathetic nickname, "Airfield Defenders," a nickname used to satirize the plane's cheating range, severely restricting its use.

Problems such as engine fuel consumption make it impossible for this kind of fast-moving fighter to fight over long distances, and in disguise, it is easy to expose the field airfields where this kind of aircraft takes off and lands.

It can be said responsibly that the early jet fighters were very limited in their use, and they were far less powerful than they seem today.

And that's not even counting, the failure rate of aircraft engines in the early days was very high, and even in many cases, the number of pilots who lost more than those who died in battle even exceeded those who died in battle.

Obviously, on such a basis, the use of jet fighters as an improvement that was not in the interests of Germany and made the aircraft itself more suitable for real combat was what German engineers were now doing.

"Find a way to stabilize the engine, my pilots are valuable assets, I can't waste one!" Li Le looked at the engineers and gave his own orders.

He's not the true Führer who doesn't understand technology and only knows how to use his brains in new weapons. No one can fool him when it comes to weapons, because he looks decades further than everyone else.

"Plus! The fuel consumption of the engine should be kept as low as possible...... The range must be set at least at more than 1400 kilometers, and if you can't do it, you will sacrifice part of the speed and make a larger fuselage with fuel! Li Le looked at ME-262 flying in the sky and continued to command.
