Chapter 133 FW190 Test Flight

No matter what difficulties the Navy encounters, it will not stop moving forward!

If the Air Force does not give planes, the Navy will build it itself! If the Air Force does not give pilots, the Air Force will recruit it itself!

The German Navy found some pilots who left Germany after World War I from all over the world, and recruited some from China. The German first naval aviation brigade was established like this!

Among them, there is a very typical father-son soldier. Alcatel, who returned from the United States, participated in the Navy Air Force together!

With the personnel in place, the aircraft carrier is also in the final stage of installation. For the Navy, what it needs most now is carrier-based aircraft!

Now, the entire Luftwaffe is almost always watching jokes, waiting to see what the carrier-based aircraft that is tinkering with an air-cooled engine should look like!

Cialek also attaches great importance to this.

Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the beginning of 36 years. After the intensive development, the first FW190 fighter jet has been produced by the test!

After receiving the news, Cialick came to Folk Company excitedly.

In later generations, it took several years to develop a third-generation aircraft. Among them, the development of engines is also the key. However, in the era of propeller aircraft, the development speed is quite fast.

In particular, the engine problem has been successfully solved!

The historical FW190 first used the 18-cylinder dual-planetary air-cooled engine BMW139. Later, BMW developed a 14-cylinder dual-planetary air-cooled engine BMW801.

Compared with the two engines, we can find that the original 18-cylinder engine is out of date, so the production of BMW139 was terminated and all were placed on the 801 engine.

This led to a redesign of the Fw190, especially the massive modifications to the fuselage.

But now, this situation no longer exists. The current BMW 801 engine is an extremely mature engine! This engine has two rows of 14 cylinders and a 41.8-liter displacement, and can output 1,500 horsepower. It can be said that in terms of horsepower, the liquid-cooled engine of Mercedes-Benz has been far away!

However, the current FW190 is not called this code. The current factory code is WL-FLOY.

Folk Company was born in Dutch Anthony Folk, and now, under the leadership of Kurt Tank, it is about to enter a new glory!

"It's very good to see you, General Cialis." Kurt said to Cialis.

Now, this aircraft has become an aircraft project funded by the Navy, so the attention has not been received. Only Cialis and Navy Commander Erich came to the important first flight ceremony.

"I'm also very happy. I'm totally convinced that Folk can create glory again," said Cialick. "Our new aircraft looks very beautiful."

A good plane must be a smooth-looking aircraft, and this is what the current WL-FLOY is!

Due to the use of an air-cooled engine, the nose looks a bit huge. However, unlike other air-cooled aircraft, the exposed engine can no longer be seen.

After clever design, the engines are all inside the hood of the nose. The streamlined hood can reduce air resistance when it is located.

The cantilever-type single wing, all-metal semi-hard shell structure, and fully retractable landing gear. Compared with this aircraft in history, the biggest feature is that it is large in size!

Especially in terms of length, this aircraft in history was only more than 10 meters, but now the length has been enlarged to more than 11 meters!

This is of course because of a view put forward by Cialek, the range of the fighter jet must reach 3,000 kilometers and the combat radius will reach 1,000 kilometers!

Of course, the fighter jets have to store more fuel!

The extra length is actually equivalent to increasing the capacity of the fuel tank. At the same time, the corresponding wingspan is also magnified, so the empty weight of this fighter has reached nearly four tons!

Now, it is just the first test flight, so a small amount of No. 87 B2 fuel is added to the fuel tank.

When Kurt heard Cialick praise his plane, he was also very excited: "Yes, our plane is confident that it will surpass BF109 in all aspects of data!"

What is the most important thing about an aircraft? Of course it is the engine! The engine of the BF109 has just developed to 1,000 horsepower, while its own engine has 1,500 horsepower!

Moreover, this is the initial model, and the later model of this aircraft engine can even exceed 2,000 horsepower!

Therefore, the aircraft has great potential for improvement!

Hans Sandell, the well-dressed test pilot, had already sat in the cockpit. The engineer next to him came up to help him make sure that the canopy cover was covered and the safety device was normal. Then, start the engine in front.

In a tremor, the 14-cylinder air-cooled engine in front was started, and a series of black smoke almost enveloped the cockpit position.

The propeller in front was also spinning rapidly, and the black smoke disappeared quickly.

Hans shouted outside via radio: "V1 requests takeoff, V1 requests takeoff."

“Can take off.”

In everyone's attention, this smooth fighter jet began to slide on the runway. When the engine sounded louder, everyone's ears were buzzing.

"Notify Hans and put on an oxygen mask." Cialek suddenly said.

Kurt was stunned. This first test flight was flying at a low altitude to test the handling of the aircraft. He even did not place the landing gear. The oxygen mask was only used when the air was thin at high altitudes. What should I do when wearing an oxygen mask at this time?

However, he honestly followed Cialek's order and notified the test pilots on the radio.

This plane flying into the sky looks quite agile! Although it can only do a few small movements, you can see the tricks on the ground, especially for experts.

"This is really a good plane!" said Rick, a young naval aviation pilot next to Cialick. As a pilot of HNA, he had the honor to participate this time. Now, looking at the plane, he was extremely envious.

For example, you can see how powerful it is by looking at climbing. If you encounter other planes, just pull the operating lever and other planes will definitely not be able to keep up!

After testing the basic qualities of various flights in the air, the V1 prototype landed smoothly.

Success! The first flight was successful!

Everyone ran towards the plane, and Rick took the lead, climbed the gangway to welcome the test pilots inside.
Chapter completed!
