MTL - Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat-Chapter 461 MiG 15 and F-86

   Chapter 461 MiG 15 and F-86

  Kurt Tank and Ante Polman both nodded in agreement when they heard the words, and Fang Lang continued to speak to the two of them upon seeing this:

   "Both of you are senior experts in aircraft, you must not be unfamiliar with the missiles that appeared in the later stages of the war!"

   Fang Lang glanced at the furnishings in the office while talking, and found that there was no rest area where he could sit and meet customers.

Ante Polman is a very discerning guy. Although he was listening to Fang Lang's words carefully, his eyes still noticed Fang Lang's movements. When he saw Fang Lang swallowing his saliva, he knew that Fang Lang must be thirsty.

   Hastily turned around and opened the office door, greeted the outside, and asked someone to bring a cup of tea.

   Fang Lang waved his hands quickly when he saw this and said:

   "I think what I'm going to talk about now may have a great impact on your future design direction. Why don't we simply organize all aircraft designers,

  Call Mr. Horton together, find a conference room, and talk about this issue.

  By the way, I have another purpose for coming here this time. "

  Ante Polman and Kurt Tank looked at each other when he heard the words, nodded and said:

   "No problem, boss, then I will arrange for someone to tidy up the conference room now. Professor Tan Ke, please help organize the colleagues in the design department. Let's gather in the conference room together."

  Kurt Tank nodded briskly, and Fang Lang said to wait a moment, then turned and went out, and informed everyone in the design room outside to go to the conference room for a meeting.

  After seeing both of them go out, Fang Lang didn't mind, but continued to stand in front of this design drawing with his chest crossed and continued to observe his other details.

  Following the communication with Kurt Tank just now, when Fang Lang observed again, he couldn't help substituting the idea of ​​adding an active mechanism in front of the wing that he had just thought of to the aircraft in front of him.

I just thought that the thinner model of this aircraft is the MiG 15, and the MiG 15 is the first generation of Soviet jet fighters, which corresponds to it, and what is the American jet fighter that can compete with him? What about one?

   Soon a code name entered Fang Lang's mind, the F-86 jet fighter nicknamed Saber.

  What does this fighter look like? Thanks to the strong memory brought to him by the rebirth, the image of this fighter appeared in his mind little by little, and gradually the image of the whole fighter became completely three-dimensional.

Moreover, according to the slightly vague impression in memory, these two fighters seem to be models developed with reference to a German swept-wing fighter project. Now it seems that the object of their reference is obviously the one in front of them. ta-183.

In Fang Lang's eyes, which is more beautiful, the MiG 15 or the F86, needless to say, he must choose the F86 personally. The reason why he thinks the F86 is more beautiful is because the big nostrils of the MiG 15 really don't fit. Fang Lang's aesthetics.

In fact, there is not much difference in the layout of the air intakes of the two fighters, both of which are located directly in front of the nose. Compared with the MiG 15, it is slightly rough and almost occupies the wide air intake of the entire nose. The F86 is obviously It's a lot more gentle.

As for why the air intake of the F86 is smaller and placed at the lower position of the nose, the reason is also very simple, because an air search radar is installed at the nose position, so that the air intake is moved downward to become a lower jaw. The air intake makes room for the radar installation.

  The MiG-15 does not have a radar device, so, in terms of the avionics system alone, the F86 must have the advantage.

  However, as a fighter jet with cannon as the main weapon, it is not enough to have an advantage in avionics alone when fighting within the visual range.

The specific performance of the two fighters also has their own advantages and disadvantages. First of all, in terms of weapons, the MiG 15 has three cannons: one H-37 cannon and two HC-23KM cannons, which can carry 200 rounds shells.

  The first-generation F86 is equipped with 6 Browning M2HB 12.7mm machine guns, and the bullets of the 6 machine guns will converge at one point 1,000 feet away from the nose.

   Of course, it can carry 908 kg of bombs or eight 5-inch 127 mm unguided rockets. When it comes to the H-type, it is changed to four 20 mm caliber cannons.

   But in actual combat, the 37mm machine gun of the MiG 15 can easily penetrate the armor of the F-86 aircraft, while the 12.7mm machine gun of the F86 obviously cannot bring fatal damage to the MiG 15.

  Of course, some people will say that there are rockets on the F86, but the rockets in this period are unguided, that is to say, whether they can hit after launching depends mainly on luck.

  So, in comparison, the MiG-15 has an advantage in terms of weapons.

Secondly, in terms of maneuverability, the MiG-15 is inferior to the F86 in terms of horizontal hovering and dive acceleration, but due to its large thrust-to-weight ratio and outstanding climbing performance, the MiG-15 has an overwhelming advantage over the F86 in terms of vertical maneuverability .

   Then, comparing the flight speed, the MiG 15 reaches a flight speed of Mach 0.87-0.88, which is Mach 0.78 that can completely crush the F86.

  In general, these two jet fighters from the same division have their own advantages and disadvantages. In the later actual combat, the exchange ratio of MiG-15 and F-86F was 1:1.17, basically a draw.

  With these understandings, Fang Lang's first thought was whether the two aircraft could be combined to create a new type of fighter with its own characteristics and advantages.

   Just do what you want, while the other two are calling everyone for a meeting outside. He picked up a pencil and a blank drawing sheet from the table, spread them out on the desk, and began to simply draw the outlines of MiG-15 and F86.

   It is obviously impossible to fully reflect the shape data of the two aircrafts, but with a general appearance, the designers of your company can have a good reference.

  The drawing time passed very quickly. Just when he had just finished drawing the MiG 15 drawings, Kurt Tank had already called everyone, walked into the office, and was about to call Fang Lang to a meeting.

  As soon as he entered the door, he found that Fang Lang was drawing pictures on his desk. This made him swallow the words he was about to say, and his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the drawings on Fang Lang's desk.

   With just a glance, he discovered that the drawings drawn by Fang Lang were improved on the basis of his ta-183, and there were two long wing blades on the wings of this aircraft.

  However, the whole fuselage has been slimmed down, and the whole fuselage looks much slender.

  As a professional, he discovered at a glance that this is a very good fighter, but he didn't know how far the specific performance parameters could reach.

   After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help turning his gaze to another drawing that Fang Lang was drawing. Obviously, both aircraft are designed with swept wings.

   As for the model Fang Lang is drawing, there are no wing blades protruding from the wing surface, and a small section in front of the wing has an obvious separated downward part.

Moreover, this aircraft uses a wing and tail layout that is different from its own ta-183 and the aircraft on the previous drawing. If the previous one is a slimmer version of its own aircraft, the latter one can be regarded as a Some major changes have been made.

   I changed my mid-wing to a low-wing, and the height of the horizontal tail was also lowered, but I have to say that the designs of both aircrafts are very good.

   This surprised Kurt Tank very much, and his eyes looking at Fang Lang were also fiery.

  Finally, after Fang Lang finished drawing the drawings of the two aircrafts, he checked them carefully again. After finding no major defects, he marked the models of the two models on the upper right of the drawings.

   This made Kurt Tank, who was watching on the sidelines, a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking:

   "MiG-15 and F-86, are these the models you have chosen for these two aircraft?"

  Fang Lang, who was concentrating on looking at the drawings, was startled by the sudden sound coming from around him. He turned his head and saw that it was Kurt Tank, and said dissatisfiedly:

   "You guy, when did you come here, why didn't you make a sound?"

  Kurt Tank touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly:

   "I've been here for a while, and I see that you are serious about drawing pictures, so I don't have the nerve to disturb you."

   After finishing speaking, he pointed to the drawings on the table and asked:

   "Boss, did you just design this?"

  Looking at Kurt Tank with a surprised face, Fang Lang waved his hand quickly and said:

   "Where do I have this ability? I just thought of this. When I went to the United States some time ago, I saw these two aircrafts that also use swept wings from a confidential document of the US military.

  I didn’t think about it for a while, but after you left, I looked at the drawing and recalled it carefully. According to the approximate appearance in my memory, I drew an appearance diagram.

   But this is just a rough drawing based on my own impression. The specific data such as the angle of the swept wing or the angle of the vertical tail are not accurate.

  Your design department can use it for reference. "

   As he spoke, he pointed to the drawing of MiG-15 and said:

   "This jet fighter, code-named MiG-15, is the first generation of jet fighter designed and manufactured by the Mikoyan Design Bureau of the Soviet Union."

   Then pointed to the F-86 drawing and said:

"This jet fighter, code-named F-86, is the first swept-wing jet fighter developed by North American Airlines for the U.S. Air Force. If my expectations are not bad, these two fighters should be from Inspiration from your ta-183.

   Moreover, I can tell you responsibly that these two aircraft must be very good models, and if there is no accident, these two models should complete their first flight this year. "

  After hearing Fang Lang's words, Kurt Tank did not fly into a rage as Fang Lang expected, cursing the Soviet Union and the United States for shameless plagiarism, but appeared very calm, staring at the drawings on the table without blinking.

   Slowly asked:

   "Boss, are you familiar with these two models?"

  Fang Lang shook his head gently and said:

   "I just have some basic understanding, such as the weapon systems of the two aircrafts and their general performance, but I don't know the specific parameters."

  Kurt Tank heard the words, nodded seriously and said:

   "Then please tell me, the boss, the general situation of the two aircrafts you have learned, and we can also find some references from them."

Although Fang Lang doesn't know much, these two models are actually still in a state of high secrecy. Even after the United States suffered a big loss from the MiG 15 in the subsequent Peninsula War, it tried every means to think about it. To figure out some of the situation of the MiG-15, I failed to do so.

   It was not until two months after the end of the Peninsula War that a MiG-15 from the north strayed into the south that it was intercepted by the United States, and it was immediately sent back to the United States for research as if it was a treasure. But this time has little meaning.

  So, the situation that Fang Lang has now is actually far more significant than what he thinks in his own mind. The experience that Kurt Tank can learn from Fang Lang's description is beyond Fang Lang's imagination.

  Following Fang Lang's narration, Kurt Tank took out his notebook and recorded bit by bit, which would give him a huge boost in his subsequent design work.

  The two chatted in the office for more than ten minutes unknowingly. It was not until Fang Lang explained what he knew clearly that Kurt Tank closed his notebook full of enthusiasm.
