Chapter 2525 The meaning of Marcel 1
Ruprecht still admires Dassault and his company. Perhaps the aircraft produced by Dassault can only be said to be excellent, which is worse than the top level, but to a large extent it is caused by France's own national strength and economic problems. For example, the French produced Phantom 3 and Phantom 2K, which is largely because of limited economic strength and inability to equip twin-engine fighters.
The miserable maneuverability of Phantom 2K can also be largely blamed for the engine (of course, the aerodynamic design is definitely not as good as the F16.) The M53 engine is completely tragic to a certain extent, can you believe that as a turbofan engine, the fuel consumption rate in the non-afterburning state is higher than that of the Russian AL21? The latter is a turbojet! The only thing in the history of the engine is described as a leaky fan is the M53... Of course, Dassault is not responsible for producing the engine, and can completely turn the blame on Snekema!
Well, what is Marcel Dassault’s value to Germany? If it’s just a propeller fighter aircraft, then this value is not that great. After all, even if the historical FW190 can be equipped with a griffin engine (the ultimate revision of the British Moline engine in 2 battles.), then the performance will definitely be improved. The 190D9 can be used as a dodgy, and after providing nearly a grade of engine, its performance is almost the same as the late American and British aircraft. So, even in the worst case, the fighter aircraft in German history can do it. So the pressure is not very big.
(FW190 is OK, but the BF109 is not good. The aircraft is too small and the torque is too high after being installed on the high-power engine. In addition, the wing load is too high, and the operating performance is too bad. In terms of firepower, because the aircraft is compact and the weapons it carries are very limited, and it can even satisfy the space by adding drums. Therefore, although it can fly very quickly, the actual performance will be discounted.)
What Ruprecht really valued is Marcel's attainments in jets and transport aircraft. To be honest, although Germany has built many bombers in history, there is no medium-sized transport aircraft that can match the MB220. The most famous transport aircraft in history is the JU52, equipped with 3 710 horsepower engines. The load capacity is similar to that of MB220, but the speed is only 265 kilometers per hour and the cruising speed is 211 kilometers per hour. The French MB220 is equipped with two 915 horsepower engines, with a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a cruising speed of 300 kilometers per hour...
To be fair, the MB220 is definitely considered a very top transport aircraft before the second battle. Its performance is stronger than DC2. After all, the latter's engine power is smaller, and the GR1820 engine used only has an output of 730 horsepower. The MB220 is not as good as DC3. Because the latter uses a larger engine power and a larger body, the DC3 uses a PW1830 engine with a maximum output power of up to 1,200 horsepower, and the empty weight and total weight have also been increased to 7650KG and 11430KG respectively. The maximum speed and cruising speed have also been improved to a certain extent. The maximum speed has been increased to 370 kilometers per hour, and the cruising speed has been increased to 333 kilometers per hour.
But from a design perspective, MB220, DC2 and DC3 are at the same level. The performance gap between the two sides can be said to depend on the engine technology. The so-called "violent miracle" is what it means! In other words, if Marcel provides two engines with a fairly appropriate output, then it will have no problem creating a German version of DC3!
As for the JU52? This thing is obviously the same level as the previous few! The total power is actually not low, but the slow speed can be described as a snail. The maximum speed and cruising speed are nearly 100 kilometers apart. What are you thinking?! Of course, you can say that the JU52 came out earlier and was relatively backward in technology, but in history, Germany did not create a relatively excellent dual-transporter later.
Some people may say, is it the same for bombers to be used as medium-sized transport aircraft? This is obviously different! Don’t look at everyone’s twin-engine aircraft, it feels similar. After all, the design requirements of both parties are different. Bombers like JU88 emphasize high speed and transport bombs, so the design of the fuselage is like a flying pencil. The wing load is also relatively high. The requirements for runway length are also relatively high.
But the transport aircraft is different. First of all, it does not require a high speed. It requires people to transport, so the design of the fuselage cannot be made into a slender flight pencil, and emphasizes a lower wing load and a considerable take-off and landing performance. For example, the wing load of the MB220 is only 131KG per square meter. The wing load of the JU88G1 is as high as 240KG per square meter! The take-off and landing performance is obviously different. By the way, the wing load of the Japanese Zero 21 fighter is 107KG per square meter.
As for whether the Germans can build a good dual-transporter? This Ruprecht can only say that the subsystem is fine. German technology is sufficient, but it is another matter whether it can be built well. After all, the performance of the Germans in transport aircraft in history was very average. Marcel's performance was very good. In this case, for the sake of safety, before there is no better plan, Ruprecht would rather choose Marcel's MB220 improved version as the guaranteed option!
Even before the outbreak of the war, it was possible to be a civil aviation aircraft in Germany. After all, MB220 was one of the relatively mature civil aircraft in history. It was impossible to use this plane. Germany also uses JU52...
If the dual-engine medium transport aircraft is a weakness of the Luftwaffe in history, then the mature large 4-engine aircraft is another weakness. In fact, Germany only equipped two large bombers in the second World War, one was the FW200 and the other was the HE177. The former was actually used as a mixture of maritime patrol aircraft and bombers, is the latter? Because the Luftwaffe's brainless shooting requirements, the HE177 was forced to use the DB606 and DB610 engines with complex structure and poor heat dissipation. Simply one stability is enough to make the Luftwaffe's nerve-waffe. So is there any object that the French can refer to?
First of all, let’s talk about the 4-engine patrol aircraft and transport aircraft. In fact, the MB160, which was not put into production in large quantities and the subsequent derivative bomber MB162, was a very good aircraft. Historically, the MB160 was developed as a 14-seat civil aircraft. If you look at the performance of the aircraft at a high cost, it is actually very average. The air weight is no more than 9400KG, the total weight is no more than 14500KG, the maximum flight speed is no more than 350 kilometers per hour. The cruise speed is 310 kilometers per hour. This data is even worse than some last-generation twin-engine aircraft in the 2nd World War, but you have to know that the engine used by this aircraft is only 740 horsepower! It is easy to understand that such poor performance is easy to understand. After all, the engine is too watery, and you cannot count on how high performance it is!
