Chapter 505 Faster, higher and stronger

"This is flying!" Although the heat transmitted from the engine to the cockpit through the partition is a little unpleasant, the slightly narrow cockpit seems not suitable for a big man like him. If possible, even if the seat is down one inch, it will make him feel more comfortable. However, lowering that one inch means that the field of vision will be smaller. Compared to the airship, the plane's downward vision is really poor. At the first moment, Xu Jin judged that this plane may have been a weapon to deal with the airship for a long time, attacking from horizontal or from above, and the airship has no counterattack ability at all. The relatively slow speed of the airship also makes dodging meaningless. The airships in Dongping may focus more on ground attacks. Although the fixed-wing aircraft have a fixed-wing aircraft have no ability to counterattack.

Although the speed is very fast, the ability to stagnate the air is relatively poor, and the logistics requirements are higher. Although Xu Jin is very fond of this feeling of flying quickly now, he understands that it is necessary to arrange an airport on the front line to take off and land the plane, but the airship only has the simplest facilities. The difference between the two alone is enough to make the front line commanders make decisions. I am afraid that it is difficult to use the plane except for dealing with the airship. But does the enemy have airships? Xu Jin couldn't help but think about it for a while, and his hand subconsciously rotated the joystick, and the plane swirled very casually, and began to maneuver in the air in a figure-eight shape. Xu Jin immediately realized that if it was not for the long-term use of it to deal with Chunnan, then Bei Liao would soon master the airship technology.

"Hehe, look back and I'll knock you all down." Xu Jin muttered to himself again. After the 8-shaped maneuver, he made several hovering at different altitudes as he pleased, and tried to rise and dive quickly. Then he landed calmly. This time the test flight, the plane was only equipped with less than half of the fuel. Although Xu Jin saw that the pointer on the fuel gauge was not close to the red area, he still landed. After all, there were opportunities for test flights, but there was no need to be so anxious.

"Old Xu, how do you feel?" As soon as Xu Jin landed, the test pilots and the technicians rushed forward. The technicians quickly opened the engine cover to observe the engine's operation. The test pilots surrounded Xu Jin to understand the flight experience. In terms of technology, none of them had much experience. Airships and aircraft are completely different. Xu Jin didn't dare to quickly rise and fall with too much amplitude just now, but he just increased the amplitude a little based on his previous experience.

Another aircraft also conducted a test flight, and Xu Jin and other test pilots found out that the two aircraft with the same appearance were very different inside. The red aircraft that Xu Jin had just flew more emphasis on speed, while the blue aircraft paid great attention to fuel economy, and did not install crossbows and other things that occupy very heavy weight. The flight control system has also been simplified to the maximum extent, and used the freed loads to install a larger fuel tank. The blue aircraft was filled with fuel at one time, and the flight distance and air stagnation time were three times that of the red guy. Naturally, this is the most basic difference between a reconnaissance and a fighter.

After getting the report, Ye Tao thought with a wicked smile that if it was released to the public at a certain air show in the future, these two aircraft would have very postmodern advantages: the two functions are as many as 100% of the components. Although Ye's workshop has not developed many such products now, reducing the number of components as much as possible and increasing the common parts as much as possible has become the instinctive idea of ​​many technicians. Isn't this an achievement? Only after the process level and manufacturing scale simultaneously exceed a certain amount, the simplicity of production efficiency and post-maintenance will become content that has to be taken into consideration from the beginning of the design. Now, whether it is Chunnan, Xiling or Beiliao, whether they are trying to imitate Dongping

They are complacent about the ever-increasing functions and designs of the Ye Family Workshop, but the Ye Family Workshop has gradually become a return to nature. This makes Ye Tao feel particularly accomplished. Think about it, how many years has it been used since he started playing with gadgets and bringing the entire country's manufacturing to a very modern style? Of course, Ye Tao also knows that this is for war. Only in war, the requirements for practicality and simple maintenance will overwhelm all fancy things. If it weren't for the military's years of overlapping wars that made the military clearer and clearer requirements for what kind of equipment they wanted, the progress in this area would not have been so incredible.

After the first day of the test flight of two basic aircraft, all the test pilots conducted test flights one after another. Different people on the same project will have different feelings, and the test pilots gradually explored the limit performance of the aircraft. Now the maximum ceiling of the aircraft is more than 300 feet higher than that of the airship. Of course, this is because the airships are all hot airships. When Ye's workshop can reduce the preparation cost of inert gas to a more reasonable level, this situation may change. Before that, the airplane was undoubtedly the king of flight altitude in this time and space. As for speed, it is not necessary to mention. Even if the airship opens the rocket jet port to accelerate, it is definitely not as exaggerated as in the movie. The airship's sportiness comes more from being able to fly comfortably and stably for a long time. But the aircraft does not

At the same time, the speed of the combat model easily exceeded 600 miles per hour, and the reconnaissance model also achieved more than 400 miles. But the problem is that the air stagnation ability of these two models is slightly insufficient. The full-load fuel range is less than 1,000 miles in combat, while the reconnaissance model reaches 1,700 miles. In fact, the only dissatisfaction with this data is probably that Ye Tao, who has been used to the fact that he has always switched thousands of kilometers in later generations. Now, the take-off and running distance of these two types of aircraft is less than one mile. With Dongping's engineering ability, the airport can be directly built dozens of miles away from the combat location. Moreover, as an air control weapon, facing an enemy with extremely weak air strength, they may be able to get one or two attacks in a war of power, even if they are lucky, the future of the aircraft is promising, but now, there is no need to think too much.

After these tests, although the fully closed state of Ye's Workshop Research Institute ended, these test pilots and some technicians did not appear in front of everyone again. People who were looking forward to something new to discover were disappointed, but then they understood that this time they must have created something secret weapon-level.

Although there are only two aircraft, the Fourth Air Force in Yunzhou was established. After verifying the performance of the aircraft, the first batch will produce twenty-two aircraft and enough spare parts. The Fourth Air Force will also have four airships and an affiliated engineering team. They will now station and train near Suiyuan, and wait until all the equipment is implemented, and the team members have gained experience in the aircraft's combat, the air force will move to Zhongjun Town and train under strict surveillance. Before facing the Beiliao airship group, they have to hide forever.

Drawing such a few people was not a big deal for Dai Yun's attack. After a while of secret preparation, the garrison battalion attacked. Although he knew that the garrison battalion was not good at tactical command, the temporary tactical command training might only backfire. During this short period of preparation, Dai Yun mainly asked the staff officers to quickly integrate into each unit. She also encouraged those talented middle-level officers who did not join the main battle camp for one reason or another to play the role of assisting the main officer. To be honest, there are quite a few such people. Many people are considering getting close.

Taking care of the elderly at home, we have joined the garrison battalion sequence with lighter combat duty. Some people may be slightly inferior in physical or other conditions, and some people may come from areas with relatively low population density. In order not to affect local stability and production, the quota of recruitment in the main battle camp is extremely limited. These people may have their own experience in combat. Digging potential from the inside is easier for everyone to accept it than when the airborne commander goes down. After such adjustments, the mental outlook shown by the garrison battalion has improved greatly from before.

Dai Yun did not give Xi Ling any chance at all as soon as he took action. In order to fully utilize his strong mobility, her first target was to point to the cavalry unit that the opponent gathered together. One hundred and fifty airships attacked all over the line, and thousands of sulphur bombs were dropped overnight, damaging the opponent's cavalry camp in the sea of ​​fire. Dongping has not used airships as big a move. After the sudden attack on Xi Ling, the airship has been used as a tactical force on various battlefields. The Dongping army is strong enough for this method of use, and the effect of airships used for reconnaissance and auxiliary attacks is enough for victory. However, unexpectedly, Dongping used this move again, but it was more powerful and more mature than before. It only took three and a half hours for the airship to set off to complete the attack and return to the camp.
