When Kurt Tank and Ant Bollman heard this, they both nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Fang Lang continued to speak to them:

"Both of you are senior experts on aircraft. You must be familiar with the missiles that appeared in the later stages of the war!"

As Fang Lang said this, he took a look at the furnishings in the office and found that there was no rest area where he could sit down and receive guests. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. There was no cup of tea even if he wanted to.

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

He quickly turned around and opened the office door, saying hello to the outside and asking someone to bring him a cup of tea.

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

"I think what I am 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, let me tell you another reason why I came here this time. "

Hearing this, Ant Bollman and Kurt Tank looked at each other, nodded and said:

"No problem, boss, then I will arrange for someone to clear out the conference room. Professor Tan Ke, could you please help organize the colleagues in the design department, and we will gather in the conference room together."

Kurt Tank nodded cheerfully, told Fang Lang to wait a moment, then turned around and went out, notifying everyone in the design room outside to go to the conference room for a meeting.

After seeing the two of them go out, Fang Lang didn't mind. He just continued to stand in front of the design drawing with his arms 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 but transfer the idea of ​​adding a movable mechanism to the front of the wing that he had just thought of to the aircraft in front of him.

I just thought that the slimmed-down version of this aircraft is the MiG-15. As the first-generation jet fighter of the Soviet Union, what is the American jet fighter that corresponds to the MiG-15 and can compete with it? What about one?

Soon a codename entered Fang Lang's mind, the F-86 jet fighter nicknamed the Sabre.

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

Moreover, according to the slightly vague impression in my memory, these two fighter jets seem to have been developed based on a German swept-wing fighter project. Now it seems that the object of their reference is obviously the one in front of them. I have set up a TA-183.

As for the face-controller Fang Lang, which one is more beautiful, the MiG-15 or the F86? Needless to say, he personally would definitely choose the F86. The reason why he thinks the F86 is more beautiful is because the MiG-15’s big nostrils really don’t fit. Fang Lang's aesthetics.

In fact, the air inlet layout of the two fighters is not very different. They are both located directly in front of the nose. Compared with the MiG 15, the air inlet is slightly rough and occupies almost the entire nose. The F86 is obviously Be more polite.

As for why the air inlet of the F86 is smaller and placed lower on the nose, the reason is also very simple, because an air search radar is installed at the nose of the aircraft, which moves the air inlet down to become a mandibular type. The air intake makes room for the installation of the radar.

The MiG-15 does not have a radar device, so from the avionics system alone, the f86 must have the advantage.

But as a fighter jet with a cannon as its main weapon, it is not enough to simply have an advantage in avionics when fighting within 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. Cannonballs.

The first-generation F86 was equipped with six Browning m2hb 12.7 mm machine guns. The bullets from the six machine guns would converge at one point 1,000 feet away from the nose of the machine.

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

But in actual combat, the 37mm machine gun of the MiG 15 can easily penetrate the aircraft armor of the F-86, while the 12.7mm machine gun of the F86 is obviously unable to cause fatal damage to the MiG 15.

Of course, some people will say that there are rockets on the F86, but the rockets of this period are unguided, which means whether they can hit after being launched mainly depends on luck.

Therefore, 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. However, 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 family have their own advantages and disadvantages. In subsequent actual combat, the exchange ratio between the MiG-15 and the F-86f was 1:1.17, which was basically a draw.

After gaining this understanding, Fang Lang's first thought was whether he could combine the two aircraft to create a new fighter aircraft with its own characteristics and advantages.

Just do it if you want to, while the other two people are convening a meeting outside. He picked up a pencil and blank drawing paper from the table, spread it out on the desk, and began to briefly draw the appearance of the MiG-15 and F86.

It is obviously impossible to fully reflect the appearance data of the two aircraft, but with a rough appearance, your company's designers can have a good reference.

The time for drawing passed very quickly. Just when he finished drawing the MiG-15 drawing, Kurt Tank had already gathered everyone and walked into the office, preparing to call Fang Lang for a meeting.

As soon as he entered the door, he found Fang Lang lying on his desk drawing pictures. What he was about to say was swallowed back, and his eyes were involuntarily attracted to the drawings on Fang Lang's desk.

With just one glance, he discovered that the drawing drawn by Fang Lang was an improvement on his TA-183, and there were two long wing blades on the wings of this aircraft.

However, the entire fuselage has been slimmed down, making it look much slender.

As a professional, he discovered at a glance that this was a very good fighter, but he didn't know what the specific performance parameters could achieve.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but turn his attention to another drawing that Fang Lang was drawing. Obviously, both aircraft use a swept-wing design.

As for the one that Fang Lang is drawing, there is no wing blade protruding from the wing surface. There is an obvious separated downward part in a small section in front of the wing.

Moreover, this aircraft uses a different wing and tail layout from our own TA-183 and the aircraft in the previous drawing. If the former one is a slimmed down version of our own aircraft, the latter one can be regarded as Made some major changes.

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

This surprised Kurt Tank, and he looked at Fang Lang with fiery eyes.

Finally, after Fang Lang completed the drawings of both aircraft, he checked them carefully. After finding no major flaws, he marked the models of the two aircraft on the upper right side of the drawings.

This made Kurt Tank, who was watching on the sidelines, a little confused and couldn't help but ask:

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

Fang Lang, who was looking at the drawings intently, was startled by the sudden sound beside him. When he turned around and saw that it was Kurt Tank, he said dissatisfiedly:

"You guy, when did you come here and why didn't you say anything?"

Kurt Tank touched his nose and said a little embarrassed:

"I've been here for a while, and I saw how seriously you were drawing pictures, so I didn't want 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 who looked surprised, Fang Lang quickly waved his hand and said:

"How do I have this ability? This is what I just thought about. When I went to the United States some time ago, I saw these two types of aircraft 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 drawings and recalled them carefully, and drew an appearance based on the rough appearance in my memory.

But this is just a rough drawing based on my own impressions. The specific data such as the swept wing angle or the vertical tail angle are inaccurate.

Your design department can use it as a reference. "

He pointed at the drawing of the MiG-15 and said:

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

Then he pointed at the drawing of the F-86 and said:

"This jet fighter, code-named F-86, was developed by North American Aviation for the U.S. Air Force. It is the first swept-wing jet fighter. If my expectations are correct, both fighter jets should be from Inspiration from your ta-183.

Moreover, I can responsibly tell you that these two aircraft must be very excellent models, and if nothing else happens, both models should complete their first flights this year. "

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

He slowly asked:

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

Fang Lang shook his head gently and said:

"I only have some basic understanding, such as the weapon systems of the two aircraft and their approximate performance, but I have no way of knowing the specific parameters."

Hearing this, Kurt Tank nodded seriously and said:

"Then please tell me, Boss Xinxin, what you know about the two aircrafts. We can also find some lessons from them."

Although Fang Lang didn't know much, these two aircraft models were actually still under high confidentiality. Even after the United States suffered a heavy loss from the MiG-15 in the subsequent Peninsular War, it tried every means to think of another one. In trying to figure out some of the conditions of the MiG-15, we have not been able 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 and was intercepted by the United States. It was immediately sent back to the United States for research as if it were a treasure. But this time is no longer meaningful.

Therefore, the situation that Fang Lang grasps now is actually far more significant than what he thinks. The experience that Kurt Tank can learn from Fang Lang's description is unimaginable by Fang Lang.

As Fang Lang narrated, Kurt Tank took out his notebook and recorded bit by bit, which will bring huge help to his subsequent design work.

The two of them chatted in the office for more than ten minutes without knowing it. It wasn't until Fang Lang made it clear what he knew that Kurt Tank closed his notebook with unfulfilled interest.
