The ground personnel turned the propeller vigorously to start the 775-horsepower engine. Amidst the roar of the engine, black smoke came out and the engine was started.
After releasing the brakes, Safonov leaned on the plane's own power and slid to the runway. His body was bumping with the plane. He had no time to see the situation in the sky. He had to take off quickly to help. American friends from afar.
At this time, the experts from the Air Force Academy of Sciences, who had just ran into the air-raid shelter, began to study this air battle. For them, this sudden air battle was not entirely a bad thing, at least they could See the performance of this fighter for the first time.
Especially the coming test pilot Grofastov, he stared at the sky intently, looking at the circle drawn by the flying snake fighter in the air, he couldn't help but admire: "The circling performance of this aircraft. Yes, if I’m not mistaken, it’s better than all our current airplanes."
The layout of the nose is conducive to reducing air resistance, and the wide rudder surface makes it quite easy to operate in low altitude.
It is better than the Soviet aircraft, especially the outer shell, which is made of all aluminum alloy, looks like it.
At this time, in the air, Roy had chased behind the opponent. Instead of firing immediately, he was constantly pushing the joystick to change his position.
Either you don't fire the cannon, once you fire it, you must kill the opponent in one shot!
The firepower of the Flying Snake fighter is quite powerful. For example, its main weapon is the shaft gun deployed in the middle of the propeller, which is 37 mm, an absolute killer.
The transmission shaft of more than three meters is already very powerful. It is even more powerful if the 37 mm cannon is deployed in the middle of the transmission shaft. At the same time, because the engine is located at the rear, the front is vacant to be able to reduce the weight. The 37mm cannon is mounted to the front.
If the engine is front-mounted, the 37mm cannon can only be hoisted, so it will be much more difficult for the pilot to aim and shoot.
Roy quickly adjusted his direction. At this time, the FW190 in front was still looking for the disappearing target crookedly, and after ten seconds of tracking, Roy had mastered the other party's laws.
You can't fly in a straight line in an air battle. The opponent obviously knows this, but the opponent doesn't know, and a regular curve is not appropriate.
For example, now, the opponent's flight changes direction almost every three seconds, and left and right intervals. Now, Roy counts down three seconds, pushes his nose away, and is ready to press it according to the preset advance amount. Own button.
However, almost instinctively, before pressing the button, he looked up at the sky, and this look caused a cold sweat on his back.
An FW190 has swooped down and swooped down, and black smoke has begun to emerge from the shaft of the opponent's nose propeller!
If Roy hadn't just glanced at it, his plane would have been hit by the opponent, and now, he immediately gave up the attack on the plane in front, put the stick, and the fighter plane rotated ninety degrees around the fuselage axis. The wing became vertical, then he pulled the lever and the plane began to turn.
The opponent swooped down from the sky, and the largest projected area was the wing. Now he straightened the wing and avoided the opponent's attack perfectly.
At the same time, he is also very particular about this steering. According to his preconceived, if the opponent misses a hit and wants to continue to attack him, then he can only level out and fight himself in the horizontal direction. Now he is turning. Circling in this airspace is actually trying to lure the opponent to fight with him, so that he can reverse the situation and even finally shoot down the opponent.
But he was disappointed.
The opponent was very cautious. After a miss, he immediately got out of the dive state and began to climb upward.
From dive to climb, it takes a process. In Roy’s field of vision, he saw the nose of the opponent’s plane being pulled up, and the fuselage gradually became level. When the fuselage was leveled, he and the opponent were almost at the same level. Height.
At this time, Roy thought the other party was going to catch up.
From Roy's point of view, he could even see the other's cockpit canopy. At this time, the planes of both sides happened to be parallel, and no one could do anything about it.
At this time, golden sunlight shone on the cockpit cover, and the scattered sunlight was a bit dazzling. Roy did not see the face of the pilot in the opposite cockpit. Moreover, the opponent was wearing goggles and an oxygen mask, so he couldn't see clearly.
The other party just thought of Roy and raised his middle finger. This action made Roy feel a little familiar.
Just when Roy thought the other party was going to hover in the horizontal plane, and the two sides staged a scene of fighting each other, the other's nose was still rising.
It seemed that the **** stimulated Roy, and it also seemed that Roy wanted to compare with the opponent. Roy actually pulled the joystick back, and the two fighters began to climb almost simultaneously.
From a distance, the two fighters climbed up almost in parallel. This maneuver was of little value, and even Grofastov frowned.
"In this case, whoever has insufficient climb ability and enters the dive state first will have a disadvantage, and there will be no danger during the climb. It depends on who gives up the climb firstIf it is an old flight Birds, unless they have enough confidence in their own aircraft, they will not let themselves fall into this situation."
In the attention of ground personnel, the two planes climbed up and climbed. From this perspective, it seems that the Flying Snake fighter has some advantages.
What are you doing? At this time, Roy in the sky was awakened first. Just now, he was stimulated by the movement of that finger. This movement was too familiar. When he was flying in the sky with his best students, the other party often pointed towards him. He hooked his finger, and the two of them started to smash in the sky just like they had just got their beloved car.
Now I'm fighting, how could I make such a mistake?
It must be the long flight that made him delirious, and Roy pinched himself hard while thinking about how to get rid of it.
Because his plane flew over a long distance, when he got here, the fuel was almost empty, so his current climb seems to be very easy, but he knows that compared with the FW190 aircraft, it is definitely court death.
According to reliable information, the engine output of this aircraft is more than 2000 horsepower. It is said that there are special means to make the power output reach 2500 horsepower in a short period of time. If you compare it with the latest domestic P-51, there may be more. Hope, absolutely not now.
Suddenly, he remembered that the other party did this in order to obtain the climb parameters of his own fighter. He didn't expect that in the battle, the other party would actually do this, it was like playing with himself.
At this time, the engine in front had begun to vibrate abnormally, and when he glanced at the altimeter, Roy's expression changed even more. It was not good, and he could no longer climb. ()
