Throughout the 1930s, there were still great misunderstandings about the use of the air force.
For example, most of the views are that it is more cost-effective to attack ground targets with ground troops. Using aircraft is too expensive and much more dangerous.
Therefore, in this era, although most aircraft are bombed, they generally carry out strategic bombing from high altitude, and the target has no ability to counterattack. When it is necessary to solve high-value point targets, dive bombers are usually the first choice.
The Spanish Civil War was a testing ground for new weapons. Germany bought its own weapons to Spain for testing. In addition to weapons, they also had their tactical ideas.
Stuka bomber became famous in the Spanish Civil War. This kind of dive bomber is quite threatening to ground targets.
Moreover, in addition to dive bombing, there are new discoveries, such as the armed version of Henschel hs123 and cannon Henschel he112, which have also been verified, indicating that the aircraft is an efficient weapon even without bombs. It can sweep the ground target, that is, a special ground attack aircraft!
The experience of the Spanish civil war prompted the German air force to agree to develop aircraft playing an offensive role, and finally signed a contract to develop a new "attack aircraft".
The final performance of this contract is the current hs-129
This is simply a cross era invention with far-reaching influence. It can be said that the special A-10 attack aircraft of the United States in future generations was completely inspired by hs-129.
It's exciting enough to think about it. This special attack aircraft can fire wildly at an ultra-low altitude of tens of meters. It can be equipped with large-diameter air guns, machine guns and a few bombs as ingredients at most. It can turn any target on the ground into a slaughterhouse!
It's so difficult to resist it. This kind of plane is like an armored plane. Unless it is directly hit by shells, machine gun bullets or shell fragments are itching for it. Fighters and anti-aircraft guns are not sure to deal with it, and it is like entering a deserted territory for general ground targets.
This kind of plane is a flying tank!
At the same time, its design starts from protection. It also has special needs to sweep over the ground and show its prestige.
On the battlefield, the aircraft is hurt from the ground mainly by the shooting of rifles and machine guns. Therefore, it is necessary to thicken the armor around the cockpit and engine, and the windshield also adopts 75mm thick bulletproof glass.
Because it is necessary to fly at low altitude and directly shoot ground targets with machine guns, the cockpit should be as close to the nose as possible so that the pilot can see the ground. At the same time, there is another requirement for this kind of aircraft. Although it is not a technical requirement, it determines the success or failure of the design scheme: the imperial aviation department requires that this kind of aircraft can only be equipped with "unimportant" low-power engines that are not used in other design schemes, so that this kind of aircraft will not crowd out fighters and bombers listed as the main production force.
In the history of later generations, many claims are that hs-129 was stimulated by the IL-2 strike aircraft of the Soviet Union. In fact, the research on this aircraft began after the end of the Spanish Civil War, but after being stimulated, it accelerated the development.
But now, with the passage of Chirac, everything is different. Of course, as long as the projects supported by Chirac can be developed quickly. At the same time, the better conditions in Germany than in history also make the development of this aircraft more smooth.
In comparison, the two engine hs129 has higher survivability than the single engine Stuka, and the speed, ceiling, range, armor and ammunition load of hs129 are higher than those of ju-87g. It can be said that this aircraft comprehensively surpasses Stuka. You know, Stuka is still fixed landing gear and has no armor protection.
However, it is the double release Bureau of hs129, heavy armor protection and large firepower that makes the cockpit of hs129 particularly narrow and poor flight maneuverability.
These advantages and disadvantages are shown on the air force hs-129, but the Navy's aircraft improves the disadvantage of poor mobility.
Very simply, hs-129 has poor mobility. In addition to armor and other factors, there is another factor, that is, the engine. The air force hs-129 uses a g.r.14m 14 cylinder air-cooled engine with a single power of 700 HP.
The air force's demand for the number of aircraft is very urgent. It is impossible to occupy the output of other aircraft for this special ground attack aircraft, which is not a problem for the Navy.
Now, there are only a few hundred aircraft in the naval aviation. After the attack aircraft was liked by the Navy, it first replaced the low-power engine.
For what? Almost the same as fw190, 14 cylinder dual planetary air-cooled engine BMW 801!
For the Navy, using the same engine can effectively reduce maintenance problems, and the types of carrying accessories can be greatly reduced. Moreover, it doesn't matter if they are extravagant. Anyway, there are only a few on board. Even if they are equipped in succession, the total number will not exceed 100.
This engine can output 1500 HP in the initial model. After being used on hs-129, it is optimized and the power is reduced to 1200 HP, which is mainly based on the compromise between reliability and fuel consumption.
The higher the horsepower of the engine, the better the natural performance of the aircraft, but it is on the premise of sacrificing other aspects. The most important thing is life and fuel consumption.
For example, a small QQ engine can output 500 horsepower after being modified by engineers, but it is scrapped in an hour.
After changing this new engine, the disadvantages of hs-129 caused by thick armor have been eliminated, and the mobility has been greatly improved, which is the envy of the air force.
The air force can't afford it and can't bear it.
Now, this aircraft has just been developed. There are only a few on board. This is their first actual combat flight. At the same time, it also means testing the performance of this aircraft.
At this time, in the narrow cockpit, the pilot, Lieutenant steinkamp, made preparations before takeoff in an orderly manner.
If you look from the outside, the cockpit is actually not small and the width is the same as that of a fighter, but almost everyone has to curl up inside because of armor protection.
The first protection is, of course, people. This ground attack aircraft has specially designed a bathtub like armor protection. The pilot almost sits on the bathtub, so that all kinds of shells fired from the ground can be blocked.
At the same time, this bathtub also worsens the pilot's environment. A large bathtub means heavier armor. Therefore, the smaller the bathtub, the better, which makes the space inside very limited.
These are not what steinkamp complained about. When I heard that even British banging guns could not break through their bathtub armor, I was certainly the happiest as a pilot.
Smaller, acceptable.
On the wings on both sides, the engines were started in turn. With a good front view, he skillfully aimed at the takeoff runway.
It's his turn!
Fully open the accelerator, release the brake, hs-129 attack aircraft, slide freely from the warship, and pull it up before reaching the front of the deck!
Using two BMW engines is a luxury and waste! This is the result of compressing the power. If you use the latest model of 2000 horsepower, it will be even more rebellious!
Strike, strike!
While the Zeppelin Earl was flying the carrier plane, another Adolf Hitler was also flying the carrier plane.
The two warships have the largest aircraft carrying capacity. Each ship is equipped with 72 carrier based aircraft. Now, each aircraft carrier leaves 5 fw190 for fleet air defense, and all the other carrier based aircraft have been released!
More than 130 carrier based aircraft rushed towards Scarpa Bay less than 200 nautical miles away.
The air force fired the first shot, and their navy, which ended in the past, must be beautiful! Not one!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
