Aviation fuel: 680 tons (720,000 liters) (fighter fuel: 1337X96X3 = 385056), (attack aircraft fuel: -

First, the carrier aircraft performance:

1. Fighter (F4U-1A includes part of the performance of F4U-4)

Pilots: 1

Length: 10.1 meters

Internal oil: fuselage 897 liters, wings: 2X235 liters, total fuel equals: 1337 liters

Empty weight: 4073 kg

Take-off weight: 5185 kg

Powerplant: 1× Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine 2000 hp

Maximum speed: 671 km / h

Stall speed: 143 km / h

Range: 1617 km (internal fuel), transition range is 2400 km

Combat radius: 527 km (with an external 150 gallon drop tank)

Practical ceiling: 12,649 meters

Wingspan: 15.24 meters, folded approx. 7.7 meters

Height: 3.66 meters, folded: approx. 5.2 meters

Wing area: 37.19 sq.m

Fuel: 1,438 liters behind the cockpit

Empty vehicle weight: 4760 kg

Normal take-off weight: 6305 kg

Maximum take-off weight: 8165 kg

Powerplant: 1× Wright R-3350 radial engine, 2500HP

Maximum speed: 590 km / h

Cruising speed: 319 km / h

Range: 2500 km

Ceiling serving: 7925 m

Rate of climb: 14.5 m/s

Wing loading: 220 kg/m²

Gun: 2×20mm gun (200 rounds)

External weight: 3600 kg (1633 kg for the belly centerline, 2X1361 for the inner section of the wing on each side, and 227 kg for others, but the total amount shall not exceed 2X1134 kg)

Therefore, theoretically, it can be mounted with 1633 + 2722 + 2268 = 6623 kg

Plug-in points: 1 + 2 + 4 = 7

Load-bearing of each external plug-in point: theoretical (2X500 + 1361 + 1633 + 1361 + 2X500 = 6355), actual (2X500 + 1000 + 1500 + 1000 + 2X500 = 5.5 tons)

External varieties: bombs, torpedoes, mines, uncontrolled rockets, machine gun pods-

Total weight: 680 + 572.4 + 126.3 + 658.8 + 500 + 9047 = 11587.2 tons

That is, the required materials are: 11587.2 tons (lack of 730 near-defense artillery shells)

Empty discharge: 64800 + 11587 = 76387 tons (not accurate)

1. Aviation fuel: 680 tons (720,000 liters)

Fighter fuel: 1337X96X3 = 385056 liters

Attack engine fuel: 1438X48X3 = 207072 liters -

2. Ammunition weight:

Maximum (ejection) mount scheme:

1. Lightning strike: 4X500 auxiliary fuel tank + 4X800 kg aviation torpedo

2. Dive bombing: 4X500 kg + 2X1 ton + (1 ton + 2X250 kg)

Total number of bombs in reserve:

1. Torpedoes: 24X3X4 = 288 pieces

2. Bombs: 1 ton = 24X3X3 = 216 pieces, 500 kg = 24X3X4 = 288, 250 kg = 24X3X2 = 144

The total weight of the bomb reserve: 230.4 + 396 = 626.4 tons

1. Torpedo: 800X288 = 230.4 tons

2. Bomb: 216 + 144 + 36 = 396 tons

Natural take-off payload scheme: (maximum 3629 kg, generally 2700 kg)

1. Lightning strike: maximum (4X800 kg aviation torpedo), general (3X800 kg aviation torpedo)

2. Dive bombing: maximum (2X1 tons + (1 ton + 2X250 kg)), general (2X1 tons + (3X250 kg))

Total number of bombs in reserve:

1. Torpedoes: 24X3X4 = 288 pieces

2. Bombs: 1 ton = 24X3X3 = 216 pieces, 500 kg = 24X3X2 = 144, 250 kg = 24X3X3 = 216

The total weight of the aircraft bomb reserve: 230.4 + 216 + 72 + 54 = 572.4 tons

1. Torpedo: 800X288 = 230.4 tons

2. Bomb: 216 + 72 + 54 = 342 tons

Fighter ammunition: (Total: 80.1792 + 46.08 = 126.2592 tons)

1. 12.7MM=96X3X6X400=691200 ROUNDS

116 grams X691200 = 80.1792 tons

2. 20MM=48X3X2X200=57600 ROUNDS

800 grams X57600 = 46.08 tons -

3. Survival weight (endurance is calculated as 24 days)

Total weight: (72 + 72 + 18 + 28.8 + 180 + 288 = 658.8 tons)

Food: Rice: 1 kg X 3000 = 3 tons X 24 = 72

Vegetables: one kilogram X3000 = 72

FRUIT: 250 GRAMS X 3000 = 750000 = 0.75 X 24 = 18

MEAT: 400 GRAMS X 3000 = 1.2 X 24 = 28.8

Cooking oil: 25 grams X3000 = 75X24 = 180

Drinking water: 3000 (person) X4 = 12000X24 = 288000÷1000 = 288 -

Fourth, boiler water: 500 tons -

5. Ship fuel: (full load) 9047 tons
