Chapter 1638: Take-off and interception

Under the traction vehicle, the plane arrived on the takeoff line. With the rumbling roar from the turbine at the tail, the engine was successfully started.

After more than two years of research, the lifespan of Head of Cialis proposed by Head of State Cialis, with a lifespan of 300 hours, and the thrust-to-weight ratio reached 3, and finally reached it.

This is entirely due to a good news that suddenly came from the Empire Materials Department last month. With the development of a group of material experts, a new titanium alloy metal was successfully smelted, with a temperature resistance of fifty degrees higher than before.

Fifty degrees sounds not high. The temperature in the combustion chamber is no more than 1,000 degrees. Compared with the temperatures of 1,500 or even 1,700 in later generations, it is still quite low. However, it has been a great progress in this era. In the research of heat-resistant materials, German engineers are also at the ranks of the world's advanced level.

In this way, the engine performance has improved a lot, and finally achieved the goal set by Head of Cialek.

At the same time, compared with the previous use of high-grade aviation gasoline, current jet engines have begun to use aviation kerosene specially produced by the chemical department. Compared with aviation gasoline, it has better adaptability to jets.

All these changes indicate that Germany's jet technology is gradually maturing. If me262 is still a child in a swaddling baby, then the current Storm Bird can finally stand up and walk, or even trot all the way.

After the ground crew carefully observed the color of the tail flame and confirmed that both engines were working properly, Walter released the brakes.

The right hand softly recharges the throttle, and the horsepower is fully opened, and the color of the tail turns orange-red. The sound of the turbine enters the inside of the ear through soundproof earplugs, buzzing.

Release the brakes and the Stormbird slid quickly on the track, and when he pulled the lever backward, it flew easily.

One, two...

All 24 jets from the entire flight brigade took off. With the unremitting efforts of the ground crew, their aircraft were in good condition.

The 24 silver-white fighter jets have become dazzling highlights under the sunshine. When they climb to a height of 9,000 meters, they have accelerated to 900 kilometers per hour. When they reach an altitude of 14,000 meters, their speed has exceeded 1,000 kilometers per hour.

Yes, when other propeller planes were working hard to break through 700 kilometers per hour, Stormbird had already broken through the limit of maximum speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, setting a new aviation record!

The previous me262 was limited by the body shape and engine thrust, and its maximum speed was about 800 kilometers per hour. However, the current Stormbird uses an engine with a thrust-weight ratio of 3 times that of the previous one, so it is not surprising to obtain such a speed.

This is also the reason why this fighter was immediately deployed to Finland after it was developed.

Rather than saying that this is an advanced fighter, it is better to call it an interceptor, because it has a very high speed and can reach the battlefield in the shortest time after discovering the target. If a large group of bombers arrive, they will be the first to arrive on the battlefield.

Now, the Mustang fighter jets that took off from Greenland Island have just left the base two or three hundred kilometers and are flying within the Arctic Circle. They should be an absolutely safe area. In order to reduce fuel consumption, they are still flying at high altitudes.

They didn't know that the United States had already deployed long-range radars in the northernmost part of Finland, specifically used to monitor the situation over the Arctic, nor did they know that the German interceptor fleet was flying so fast that it completely exceeded their imagination.

Due to technical limitations, only large aircraft can install onboard radars. At the same time, the body structure of the MiG-15, the air inlet of the nose, has no space for airborne radars.

This is also a last resort.

In the early days, the air intake was used for the nose. Later, in order to free up the nose to install radar, a new layout method, such as air intake on both sides and abdomen, was used.

The air intake on both sides will block the air intake on one side when turning, while the air intake on the abdomen will block the air intake when diving, resulting in insufficient engine thrust and even risk of surge.

Only the air intake method of the machine head can meet the needs of various maneuvering actions. When you first come into contact with the jet, the design of the air intake duct is just beginning, and the easiest thing is the easiest to succeed.

The two jets behind him were still roaring, and the sound of the ground guidance station came from Walter's soundproof headphones: "Note that the target is one hundred kilometers north of you, with an altitude of 10,000 and a speed of 600, and is flying eastward. Please turn right fifteen degrees."

Now, the target aircraft group is in their north. If they continue to fly, they will fall behind. Turn right fifteen degrees to the point where they can meet the other party, and it is in the other party's back half of the ball!

"I understand." Walter issued an order to his troops in the radio: "Note, turn right fifteen degrees, throw the secondary fuel tank, and prepare for battle."

Although the data requirements proposed by Cialek have been met in terms of thrust-to-weight ratio and life, the fuel consumption rate is still high. As a fighter, it is impossible to increase the range of the aircraft by increasing the body volume and fuel tank capacity, which will lead to a decrease in maneuverability.

Therefore, when performing interception missions, Stormbirds will carry two auxiliary fuel tanks on both wings.

When taking off, first use the fuel from the secondary fuel tank, two secondary fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 600 liters. When you arrive over the battlefield, the fuel from the secondary fuel tank has just been consumed, throwing away the secondary fuel tank, reducing the resistance outside, and fighting is smoother.

Under Walter's wings, two silver-white sub-fuel tanks fell down swayingly. As soon as the body lightened, it continued to turn lightly and accelerated.

24 fighter jets formed a large formation and flew in the clear sky.

Every pilot has a pair of sharp eyes. Now, with ground guidance, they can more effectively search the target airspace where the enemy appears in front of them.

"Discover the target." Just before Walter found it, the wingman Carl Snore, who was following him, was already shouting in the radio: "About fifty kilometers, lower right!"

Now, the Storm Bird Flock is at an altitude of about 14,000 meters, and the target flight altitude is 10,000 meters. They are absolutely condescending.

"Start an attack, form a two-machine formation, be careful to cooperate! Don't let one go!" Walter shouted loudly.
