Of course, the prince just gave a name equivalent to the "nickname", for example, the FW190 is also called the Shrike. The number used by the army was already applied for. Because the aircraft was created by a scientific research team under the Bavarian Aviation Design Bureau, the number will naturally include the letters BF. Because it was planned to be used as a torpedo for the Navy, the number is BFFG-1 bomber, of which FL means the coastal aviation team (after all, there is no aircraft carrier yet). (The abbreviation of the German Coast Air Force in 2nd Battle was FL.GR) Later, in order to simplify the title, it was also called the BFG-1 bomber. The nickname is Seahawk,

The simple still display of the plane is for laymen. Ruprecht came here not to simply see a super large 1-to-1 model. It was to look at the drills of the plane. It included but not limited to the maintenance, preparation, takeoff and simulated attacks of the plane. Although it was against the dark circles that didn't sleep last night, the prince still insisted on seeing the actual situation of the plane today.

The Earl of Daimler did show everyone the fruits of his labor, so he decisively agreed to the prince's request and arranged a team of professional ground staff and two test pilots to operate, while he served as a full-time commentator on the side.

First of all, the demonstration of the aircraft folding wings and spreading was carried out. A total of 8 ground crew members helped complete the process. Because it was a biplane, it was naturally impossible to fold upward like some carrier-based aircraft in later generations. Instead, it used to fold backwards like birds' shrinking wings. The true carrier-based aircraft or preparatory carrier-based aircraft in history are like this, such as the F6F Hellcat, and the FW109T that was ready to board the ship.

Now the ground crew members have been divided into two groups to open the connecting body at the fundamental wing. Then, the axis at the rear is the center of the circle, and the two huge wings begin to move backward horizontally and are fixed to the hook of the fuselage through steel wire. It took 5 minutes to change. After the wing was originally spread, the wing was only 5.5 meters wide after the wing was folded. This "deformed" hair made the first person who saw the wing of the aircraft very shocked and interesting. Even the prince, a time traveler, had to give a thumbs up, and Daimler completed the task he set well.

After the folding wings are finished, the wings are opened and fixed again. According to the situation of this exercise, the folding wings of the aircraft takes about 5 to 7 minutes, and it takes about ten minutes to open. One group of 8 people can easily complete it.

Then load ammunition and fill fuel. The engine layout adopts an inverted V-shaped layout, so two 12.7MM machine guns are placed in the upper part of the engine compartment behind the rear. The ammunition box of the machine gun is located at the rear of the engine compartment, and the capacity of each ammunition box is 250 rounds. When actually replacing ammunition, you can open the opening on the side of the ammunition box, and directly take out the ammunition box as a whole and replace it with a new one. Ammunition is generally mainly based on blasting incendiary bombs, and there will be a tracer bullet for every 9 rounds to indicate the target.

The rear-firing machine gun in the rear seat is easier. If you are using a dual 7.92MM machine gun, then just hang two drums on both sides of the machine gun. After you finish playing, change them manually. The drum is next to it. The driver's feet and rear of the aircraft's fuel tank, there is nothing to say about simply refueling.

It is also easy to load bombs. Subsequently, the ground crew simulated the 250KG bombs, 100KG bombs, multiple 50KG bombs, and special flares for Prince and others. They also asked the prince to enter the cabin and take a look at the bombing sight on the floor. In addition to a simple scope, there is also a pointer next to the aircraft showing the dive angle of the aircraft. Then, according to the dive angle, the bomber pilot bombs according to the scale in the scope.

The real trouble is to install torpedoes. The 450KG torpedo is more than 2 meters long, so when loading, you need to replace it with a new special pyramid and a special transport vehicle for the torpedo. Place the torpedo on the vehicle and then reach the bottom of the plane, lift the torpedo with a jack, and then connect it to the pyramid on the abdomen of the plane. The whole process will be relatively long. According to the current exercise, it will take about half an hour to debug a torpedo and complete the mount.

Then there was the take-off and landing test of the aircraft. Not far from the hangar, there was a concrete runway paved with concrete. The length of the runway was 200 meters and the width was 25 meters. Because it simulated take-off at sea, in order to offset the lack of deck wind, the take-off runway was allowed to be longer. Ten minutes later, a BFG-1 attack aircraft that was fully equipped and with counterweights was pulled to the end of the runway. With the roar of the engine, the plane began to move slowly. When the engine power of the aircraft was adjusted to the maximum, the pilot released the brakes. The aircraft, which almost reached the maximum take-off weight, took off after slid for 160 meters.

"If we consider that there is 25 deck wind, then our actual takeoff distance can be reduced to less than 120 meters! Even within 100 meters." said Count Daimler on the side.

"It mainly depends on the landing." The prince nodded and said. In fact, the takeoff problem of 1-War aircraft is not very big. Although the engine power of the aircraft in this era is small, the takeoff weight is also small, and the torpedo machine with a maximum takeoff weight of 2 tons. You should know that the air weight of the FW190 is higher than this weight, and I thought it was a biplane, so the wing load was very small. During the war, some aircraft took off and even put a wooden board on the battleship turret. It doesn't matter if the wind direction is wrong. Anyway, the turret turns and turns to a headwind.

In fact, it is okay for the aircraft carrier prepared by the prince to run for 25 knots after improvement. In addition, there is no wind on the surface of Shanghai, and it is easier to reach 25 knots in a synthetic wind speed, so taking off is really not a problem. (In addition, the takeoff distance of the roadbed aircraft looks very large, which is because the height of the ground obstacles must be considered. The so-called takeoff distance is the entire distance after the aircraft is 15 meters to 20 meters, and there is no need to consider it at sea, as long as the aircraft does not fall down.)
