How did Hans, this strong-willed pilot, overcome these difficulties and fly this plane with so many movements?

At this time, Hans was almost soaked from head to toe, as if he had been fished out of water!

The moment the canopy hood opened, a wave of heat surged out, and the smell of engine exhaust gas was mixed inside, making people unable to believe that there would be someone in such a harsh environment!

"The plane must be modified." Hans was almost exhausted when he sat in the seat, and he said to the people outside.

To modify it, it has to be greatly modified!

This test flight confirmed that the aircraft has good handling qualities, such as precise control response, all of which are of course due to good design and high-power engines.

However, the cockpit of the plane must be modified!

The heat of the front engine will spread to the back. If it is a liquid-cooled engine, the heat can be taken away by the coolant and dispersed to other places. However, there is nothing we can do if the air is cooled!

The engine in front has poor heat dissipation, and the heat is flowing backwards!

As a result, when the cockpit was sealed, the temperature of the entire cockpit actually rose to 55 degrees Celsius! Moreover, some of the exhaust gases discharged from the engine in front rushed into the cockpit. If there was no oxygen mask, these exhaust gases would suffocate Hans!

When Hans, who had already recovered from the meeting room, said all this, everyone stopped talking and looked ugly.

What to do? Is it a mistake to use an air-cooled engine? In this case, it means that the model will fail completely!

Of course not!

Kurt will never give up! During the war, Folk Company built many advanced aircraft. Now, after the war, Folk Company must not decline!

Suddenly, Kurt remembered that after taking off, Cialick issued an order to use an oxygen mask in time. It seemed that Cialick must have known something! He was so amazing that he predicted the possible overheating situation of this plane in advance! Then General Cialick must have a solution!

"General Cialick, do you have any good insights to solve these problems?" Kurt said to Cialick.

Solve these problems! Cialek certainly has good insights! As a military fan of World War II, Cialek knows the famous FW190 in a very detailed way!

In the early stages, this aircraft encountered many difficulties, and the biggest problem was overheating!

This is also the problem encountered by all air-cooled aircraft. Even the United States has been troubled by these problems. For example, the United States' most powerful B-29 strategic bomber has been facing the problem of engine overheating throughout its service and was not solved until after World War II.

Now, of course, none of these problems are problems.

"First, move the cockpit backward." Cialek said: "Moving the cockpit back half a meter should greatly reduce the impact of the engine's heat on the cockpit."

Since the cockpit is too close to the engine, it causes overheating, then just get back!

"But this will affect the pilot's vision more." Kurt said.

Aircraft in this era are all propellers. The propellers in front provide the aircraft with the power to move forward, and at the same time, it is also a disaster, because it is necessary to prevent it from colliding with the ground!

Therefore, the propeller aircraft have landing gear at the rear three points, and the front head is raised very high, so that the propeller can leave the ground.

At the same time, this also means that the pilot's front view is poor because the front is bulging!

Moreover, the engine is in front, so the pilot's position must be behind the engine! In this way, there is a huge cover in front. For liquid-cooled engines, the pilot can just be next to the engine, while for air-cooled engines, the pilot has to move backwards!

Moving backwards makes the vision worse!

"You can raise the cockpit a little," said Cialek.

The solution is to raise the cockpit, so that the pilot's exposed body will naturally have a wider vision!

On the other hand, the navy's aircraft carrier is planned to be catapulted! With catapults, there is no need to worry about the takeoff of the aircraft!

Kurt nodded, let this be considered a solution!

"As for engine overheating, I suggest that a ten-blade cooling fan can be added in front of the engine and the engine fairing opening can be increased," Cialique continued.

Historically, this is how it was solved. Since the cooling performance of an air-cooled engine is not good, just install a large fan, blow air at it, and force cooling! This is definitely a correct solution. After this treatment, the heat dissipation problem of FW190 was finally solved.

Cialick's simple plan sets a tone for the improvement of this fighter. If there is a problem, it is normal. If there is a problem, then solve the problem!

And now, Cialis absolutely supports this aircraft, and at the same time, Cialis has more ideas!

"I have another suggestion," said Cialick. "In order to increase the range of this aircraft, the space on the aircraft can be effectively utilized, for example, the wings of the aircraft can also be made into a closed type, which can be used to store fuel."

Wing tank!

A row of horizontally arranged ribs are strung together with a few long beams on the outside and then wrapped in a leather case to form a wing. The wing spar and ribs of old aircraft are made of wood, and the skin is made of canvas. Therefore, although the wings are hollow, they cannot be used.

In this era, we have moved towards all-aluminum alloy skinned aircraft. For example, this new fighter, spar, ribs and skin are all made of aluminum alloy materials.

Then, the space in the middle of the wing can be used, and as long as it is sealed, fuel can be stored! The wing becomes a large fuel tank!

At the same time, there is another advantage. When the aircraft is flying, the lift is upward, while the fuel gravity installed in the wings is forward and reverse, and they will cancel each other out. To reduce the wing's force, the wing structure can be made lighter.

In later generations, wing fuel tanks were definitely standard, and even large passenger aircraft had 70% of the fuel in the wings.

And now, Cialek is definitely the first to put fuel into the wings!

When Kurt heard Cialick's words, he was happy first, and then worried: "In that case, as long as one of the other party's bullets hits the wings, the wings will burn and catch fire."

In the past, the canvas-skinned planes were often worn out with a lot of holes when they came down, but they could still fly. But now, a bullet may catch the plane fire!
