Under the traction of the tractor, the plane came to the take-off line. With the rumble of the turbine at the tail, the engine was successfully started.

After more than two years of tackling key problems, the life span of 300 hours and the thrust weight ratio of 3 proposed by head of state Chirac have finally been achieved.

This is entirely due to the good news that suddenly came from the imperial materials department just last month. With the development of a group of materials experts, a new titanium alloy metal was successfully smelted, and its temperature resistance was 50 degrees higher than before.

Fifty degrees doesn't sound high. Now the temperature in the combustion chamber doesn't exceed 1000 degrees, which is still quite low compared with the temperature of 1500 Baidu or even 178 in later generations. However, it is a great progress in this era. German engineers are also in the ranks of the world's advanced level in the research of heat-resistant materials.

In this way, the performance of the engine has been greatly improved, and finally the goal set by head of state Chirac has been achieved.

At the same time, compared with the previous direct use of high-grade aviation gasoline, today's 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 German jet technology is gradually maturing. If me262 is still a baby, now the storm bird can finally stand up and walk, and even trot all the way.

After the ground crew carefully observed the color of the tail flame and determined that both engines were working normally, Walter released the brake.

The right hand gently increases the throttle, the horsepower is fully open, the color of the tail turns orange, and the sound of the turbine enters the ear through the sound insulation earplugs.

Release the brake, the storm bird glides quickly on the runway. When the operating lever is pulled back, it flies easily.

One, two

All the 24 jets of the whole flight brigade took off. With the unremitting efforts of the ground service, their aircraft were in good maintenance.

The 24 silvery white fighters, shining in the sun, have become dazzling highlights. When they climb to the height of nine kilometers, they have accelerated to 900 kilometers per hour. When they reach the height of 1400 meters, their speed has exceeded 1000 kilometers per hour.

Yes, in other propeller aircraft, when working hard to break through 700 km / h, storm bird has broken through the maximum speed limit of 1000 km / h and set a new aviation record!

The previous me262, limited by the body shape and engine thrust, had a maximum speed of about 800 km / h, while the current storm bird uses an engine with a thrust weight ratio of three times that of the previous one. It is not surprising to obtain such a speed.

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

This is not so much an advanced fighter as an interceptor, because it has quite high speed and can rush to the battlefield in the shortest time after discovering the target. If a large number of bombers come, they will be the first to rush to the battlefield.

Now, the Mustang fighters taking off from Greenland have just left the base two or three hundred kilometers and fly in the Arctic circle. They should belong to an absolutely safe area. In order to reduce fuel consumption, they are still flying at high altitude.

They did not know that the United States had deployed long-range radar in the northernmost part of Finland to monitor the situation over the Arctic, nor did they know that the German interceptor fleet flew faster than they thought.

Due to technical limitations, only large aircraft can install airborne radar. At the same time, the MiG-15 body structure has air intake at the nose, resulting in no space for airborne radar.

This is also a last resort.

In the early days, the aircraft were air intake at the nose. Later, in order to vacate the nose to install radar, the new layout of air intake on both sides and abdominal air intake 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 when diving, resulting in insufficient engine thrust and even the risk of surge.

Only the way of nose air intake can meet the needs of various maneuvers. When just contacting the jet, the design of air inlet belongs to the beginning, and the simplest is the easiest to succeed.

The two jets behind him were still roaring. From Walter's sound insulation headphones, the voice of the ground guidance station came: "attention, the target is 100 kilometers north of you, with an altitude of 10000 and a speed of 600. It's flying to the East. Please turn 15 degrees to the right. "

Now, the target fleet is due north of them. If you continue to fly, you will fall behind. Turn right 15 degrees and you can just meet each other. Moreover, it is still in each other's rear hemisphere!

"I see." Walter gave orders to his troops on the radio: "attention, turn right 15 degrees, throw the auxiliary fuel tank and prepare for battle."

Although the data requirements put forward by Chirac have been met in terms of thrust weight ratio and service 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 the decline of mobility.

Therefore, during the interception mission, storm birds will carry two auxiliary fuel tanks on both wings.

When taking off, first use the fuel of the auxiliary fuel tank. Each of the two auxiliary fuel tanks has a fuel capacity of 600 liters. When they arrive over the battlefield, the fuel of the auxiliary fuel tank has just run out. Throw away the auxiliary fuel tank to reduce the external resistance and fight more smoothly.

Under Walter's wing, two silver auxiliary oil tanks fell unsteadily. The body lightened and continued to turn and accelerate lightly.

24 fighters, forming a large formation, were flying in the clear sky.

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

"Target found." Just before Walter found it, Carl snow, the wingman behind him, had shouted on the radio, "about 50 kilometers, lower right!"

Now, the storm bird fleet is at an altitude of about 14000 meters, and the target flying altitude is 10000 meters. They are absolutely condescending.

"Attack, double aircraft formation, pay attention to cooperation! Don't let one go! " Cried Walter.
