The factors that affect the stable hovering performance of a fighter aircraft are relatively complex, which depend not only on the overload turning angular speed and turning radius, but also on the airspeed.
Therefore, under this premise, an aircraft with low wing loading will achieve the most stable overload at a lower speed.
When the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft are similar, a larger thrust-to-weight ratio can achieve a larger overload. However, for now, the stable circling radius is the result of the strong effect of airspeed, so that no matter what the thrust ratio, a low-wing-loaded fighter can fly in the dog You almost always have an advantage when fighting.
After studying the Zero in [Air Overlord] these days, Zhou Zhihan knew that the reason why the Zero was so proud of the world at the beginning of World War II was because of its stable circling angular speed and small stable circling radius.
A popular metaphor is that a powerful 4-meter-tall truck and a flexible car both turn at a speed of 40 kilometers. The former has to slow down if it wants to avoid overturning, while the latter can pass quickly, ambush the shooting position and advance, and wait for the former. Send it to the muzzle.
Cars with high horsepower have a speed advantage when sprinting, and can beat those with low horsepower. Because the road on the ground is not infinitely wide and cannot be forwarded at will. Cars with low horsepower must follow the road, and they will inevitably be crushed by high-horsepower cars in terms of speed.
But it's different in the air.
The Zero Fighter can turn at will and hover to your left, right, above or behind you.
Messerschmitt No. 214 continued to climb upwards. Zhou Zhihan looked down, constantly changing the direction of the belly of the aircraft, always keeping the Zero within his sight.
The Zero aircraft's nose was slightly raised and it was circling at a low speed at an altitude of 5,000 meters. Captain Kondo's cold eyes were firmly locked on every move of the No. 214 Mei-type aircraft. The fighter plane kept changing its attitude, biting the direction of the Mei-type aircraft's back. During this process, he kept using his binoculars to look at the Type 96 land attack piloted by Major Kato in the distance.
Suddenly, Kondo saw in the telescope a huge sun flag floating above the nose of the Type 96 land attack aircraft.
7000 meters.
Messerschmitt No. 214 suddenly recovered, rolled to the side, locked the back of the Zero fighter, and dived with a push stick.
Captain Kondo advanced instead of retreating. He slightly pulled the lever and pushed the rudder. The Zero fighter circled upward at a small angle. It used its unparalleled small angle turn to throw away the attack direction of the Mei-type aircraft, and turned to the back direction of the No. 214 Mei-type aircraft to bite back.
Instead of quickly descending to low altitude to break Mei's dive, the Zero's tactic of circling head-on and biting the opponent's back surprised everyone, and then they all marveled at the excitement.
"pretty!"
Zhou Zhihan also sincerely admired it!
The two machines approached quickly, and the distance between them became shorter and shorter.
The No. 214 Messerschmitt became more difficult to control during the dive. It was powerful and heavy but lacked agility. Captain Kondo made a clever head-on turn and circled behind the Messerschmitt, which immediately broke Zhou Zhihan's dive tactics.
Captain Kondo responded skillfully, but Zhou Zhihan was more skilled, with unparalleled experience and adaptability.
The No. 214 Meiji rolled the micro-pressure lever 90 degrees, changed the direction of the back of the machine, avoided the Zero's bite, and continued to hit the nose of the Zero. At the same time, the middle finger and ring finger of the right hand were lightly moved back to close the machine gun's firing valve and open it. The cannon selection button is instantly touched with the thumb. The Zero fighter is like a layer of iron. As long as it is hit by a cannonball, it will turn into a scattered turkey in the air to meet their emperor.
The distance between the two machines is getting closer and closer.
Faced with No. 214 Messerschmitt's roll and change of attack direction, Captain Kondo continued to circle in a small radius to deal with it. The extremely dexterous Zero Fighter was like a sharp samurai sword, continuing to bite back at No. 214 Messerschmitt's back and turning. The radius is staggeringly small, causing waves of exclamations and praises from the ground.
But it was obvious that the Messerschmitt, which was swooping down, had a natural advantage. As the distance between the two aircraft became closer and closer, it was easier to change the direction of the nose of the Messerschmitt than the small radius circle of the Zero Fighter.
The distance between the two planes is 800 meters.
Suddenly, Kato leveled the control and Zero Fighter recovered from the circling. The nose of the aircraft was pointed directly at the No. 214 Messerschmitt while pulling the operating lever. After pushing the throttle with his left hand to accelerate, he moved the weapon selection switch forward with his thumb to choose to use it. The 7.7mm machine gun on the nose of the aircraft flew towards the Mei-type aircraft.
This sudden change once again shocked everyone.
Captain Kondo's operation immediately made Zhou Zhihan confused. This was obviously an act of seeking death.
Why did Kondo do this?
His right eyelid twitched violently twice, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Zhou Zhihan's heart.
To put it bluntly, the actual distance between the two planes shortened from 800 meters to 400 meters in just the blink of an eye.
Zhou Zhihan pressed the fire button with his thumb.
This is an inevitable distance.
The next second, Zhou Zhihan's heart suddenly went cold.
He pressed his thumb suddenly, as if he was pressing on. The fire button no longer had the rebound force it had in the past, and the fighter plane did not have the exciting tremor when the cannon shells were fired. Even when the bullets were fired, there was a slight sound from the machine gun chain. There is no clicking sound.
In a flash of lightning, Zhou Zhihan knew that the Messerschmitt's fire button had been tampered with.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Kondo's sinister smile in the cockpit of the oncoming Zero War. At the same time, purple light flashed under the red nose of the Zero War and appeared in his peripheral vision.
Zhou Zhihan's scalp seemed to be about to explode. He pressed the control rod fiercely. The wings pointed up and down directly at the sky and the earth, and rolled 90 degrees to reduce the bearing surface.
late.
The distance is too close.
Kondo's right-hand operating stick swayed slightly from side to side, the nose of the aircraft swung slightly, and his left hand firmly pressed the fire button on the throttle. The Zero War fired at a large deflection angle, and the machine gun under the nose fired a red barrage, heading towards No. 214 Mei. Seschmidt comes along.
"Bang bang bang..."
At the sound of bullets hitting the fighter plane, Zhou Zhihan felt his eyes blurred. Amidst the "crash" sound, a shrapnel opened the cockpit glass, entered the cabin and rolled, rotated and jumped. "Pfft", blood sprayed in all directions. In the cockpit, stain the remaining half of the glass.
At the same time, several bullets hit the landing gear on the belly of the aircraft, and a shrapnel changed direction and cut into the Messerschmitt's main fuel tank. Fortunately, the bullet hit the landing gear first, and when the oil in the tank sprayed out By that time, there was no trace of the sparks caused by the bullet hitting the landing gear.
At the critical moment, Zhou Zhihan's experience accumulated through hard work allowed Zhou Zhihan to make the right choice in an instant. He pressed the stick toward the side with less bullet rain to avoid the attack of a large area of bullets. There was no time to judge whether the fighter plane would burn and explode and push the joystick forward. He also pushed the throttle on his left hand hard, and the fighter plane dived downwards at high speed.
Sure enough, the Zero fighter turned quickly at a small angle and dived to catch up. The red bullets bite tightly, but because of the distance, they fell one after another behind Mei Shi.
At the critical moment, Messerschmitt's gum-sealed fuel tank worked. The gum quickly poured out and sealed the oil leak. Otherwise, the friction between the bullet and the air would cause it to ignite when it touches the gasoline.
The Zero fighter succeeded with one blow. The Japanese on the ground waved their national flags and yelled "We must win, we must win, we must win..."
"ah……"
The Chinese people and various political observer groups almost simultaneously opened their mouths and exclaimed.
Messerschmitt had an absolute advantage but was reversed in an instant, and was fatally struck by Zero War. People had no time to think and could only exclaim.
The Zero fighter followed and dived to bite.
Warm ants crawled down Zhou Zhihan's forehead, which instantly blurred one of his eyes. The remaining half of the broken glass in the cabin also bloomed and was stained with blood, making him unable to see the front, No. 214 Mesa. Schmidt hit the ground like a cannonball.
