Chapter 125: No plane, no engine
Everything that can fly in the empire must be under the control of the Air Force! This was originally a dream of Gorene, but now, this dream has been shattered by Cialek, so Gorene is now quite firm.
If you want to build an aircraft carrier, I don’t care. If you want to get a plane from me? It’s impossible!
The BF109 is Germany's most advanced aircraft! Goering once flew by, praised this aircraft and had first-class performance in all aspects! The current production is limited, so it is not too late to give the Air Force equipment! How could it be the Navy's turn?
You should know that the Navy plans to equip at least three of these Earl Zeppelin aircraft carriers. Each aircraft carrier can operate about 100 aircraft. Even if half of them are fighter jets, those three will have to 50! In addition, it is not enough to not have 200 fighter jets. You must not snatch things from the Air Force!
In this regard, no matter what others think, even if Hitler speaks now, Goring will still hold back with a tough sternness!
The navy is important, but the air force is not important. If you dare to steal the plane from me, then I will resign now!
Goring had a firm attitude, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room quickly became cold. Everyone knew that Goring now was determined to see the navy's good show. If you want BF109, it would be impossible!
So Erich could only look at Cialis for help. Cialis had extremely support for the Navy. The Navy's aircraft carrier plan was also fabricated by Cialis. Now, Cialis can definitely help!
Sure enough, Cialek spoke: "Since the Air Force's BF109 fighter is quite nervous, then the Navy will start a new job and develop a fighter on its own."
Develop one by myself! Gorling was stunned by the attitude of Cialis.
Originally, Gorene wanted to use carrier-based aircraft to threaten the navy, so he would not give up on the idea of controlling the aircraft carrier, but now, Cialique made it clear and developed another one!
No, they can't make their wish come true!
"Now, the production of our DB601 series engines is also very tight. If the Navy intends to develop a new aircraft, it cannot use this engine from Mercedes-Benz as its power, otherwise it will seriously affect our Air Force equipment." Goering continued.
Goring's words made Hitler unhappy. At this meeting, Goring was too aggressive.
"Goring, enough!" Hitler interrupted Goring.
"It's okay, head of state." Cialick said: "I don't plan to use the Mercedes-Benz engine, we can have the BMW engine."
For any fighter, the engine is always the most critical! The ability of BF109 to fly successfully is inseparable from Mercedes-Benz's DB601 series engines!
Aero engines are the heart of the aircraft, and the technical performance of the engine directly determines the tactical and technical performance of the combat aircraft.
Germany's most advanced BF109 fighter jets were invincible, sweeping Europe and dominating North Africa because of the huge advantages of equipment technology. In the later stage, the Mustang could sweep, which was inseparable from the engine.
Now, it is the peak moment of the development of piston engines, and Germany, relying on its strong technical reserves, smart technicians, and the power of a war, began to accumulate strength on the engine.
Now, the mainstream development is to use new liquid-cooled V-cylinder piston engines to replace star-cooled engines. For example, the Merlin engine, which is now being yellowed in the UK, is such an example.
After the bankruptcy of Rolls and Rolls, Mercedes-Benz attracted a large number of developers from the original Rolls and Rolls, and at the same time introduced all the technologies of the immature Merlin engine. Combined with its own project, it developed a 1,000-horsepower DB600 series. At the same time, in this project, the DB601 series was produced in practical mass.
This is a typical liquid-cooled inverted V-type 12-cylinder piston engine. The two cylinders are at an angle of 60 degrees downward, and the gear transmission is accommodated in the middle. The turbocharger is located on the left side of the engine. The structure is compact, the power is high, the structure is compact, and the fuel direct injection system is also used!
In this era, the engine exceeds 600 horsepower, which is already a big horsepower, while Mercedes-Benz has achieved more than 1,000 horsepower! The subsequent development has been carried out, and the special model has even exceeded 2,000 horsepower in order to break records!
Especially the direct injection system is more advanced! How advanced is it? In later generations, if the engines of many domestic cars are direct injection, they are enough to promote as an advantage! Decades later, they are all out of date and are all advanced technology!
Mercedes-Benz was tinkered with in the late 1930s!
Later, Mercedes-Benz continued to tinker with this engine, added cylinder bore, and modified the DB605 series.
Now, this engine is the treasure of the Luftwaffe. In addition to the current BF109, other planned aircraft are also intended to use this engine.
So, Goring is now trying his best. Even if it makes Hitler unhappy, Goring will say that if you don’t use it for naval purposes, it’s not just an aircraft, but even an engine!
Unfortunately, Gorene was still disappointed. At this time, Cialis had already put forward a new point of view. You don’t need your plane or your engine, you can use the BMW model!
Hearing Cialis, Goring was immediately happy: "Cialis, you are not from the Air Force, you don't know at all. Now, the air-cooled engine is out of date."
The funds of the Luftwaffe are also limited, so they can only focus on supporting one model, which is Mercedes-Benz's liquid-cooled engine. Although BMW is also developing air-cooled aircraft engines, it has not received funding from the Luftwaffe!
It is very laborious to develop this engine with BMW itself. After all, aircraft engines are built up with money!
In addition to funding issues, another problem is that the Luftwaffe has almost reached a consensus that liquid-cooled engines are mainstream and air-cooling is out of date, so they do not support BMW's air-cooled engine project.
However, BMW did not fall into the development process, and Cialis made an indelible contribution to this.
Cialick has brought enough funds from the American company Sius. BMW's engine is rapidly entering the development stage, and there is no need to worry about sales!
Howard has always been thinking about the racing plane, and plans to use this super powerful engine, and plans to cooperate with Germany to develop a large passenger plane across the Atlantic Ocean, and also plans to use this engine!
The most conservative estimate is that this engine can also have sales of hundreds of units. If an engine can be produced at this scale, it will be able to make a profit.
