The Imperial Chinese Air Force has obtained a full set of design drawings and related technical and equipment materials for the F17 fighter and carrier-based F18 fighter. With the strong industrial strength of the Imperial Chinese, the production speed will be very fast.

The related technologies used by the f17 fighter and f18 fighter are the results of the Chinese Empire's struggle in the aviation field for more than ten years. Even though the German Empire had obtained the wind tunnel laboratory provided by Hitra, it started late, more than ten years later than the Chinese Empire. The gap created in this, even if the Chinese Empire stops moving forward and the German Empire catches up, it will still be exhausted and vomits blood. What's more, the Chinese Empire will not stop moving forward, but will continue to develop like a rocket.

This is destined to be a lasting technology competition.

The Imperial Chinese Air Force has F17 land-based fighters and F18 carrier-based fighters. In a short period of time, it will not be afraid of the German Imperial Air Force and will have huge performance advantages over the German Fokker e3 fighter.

In addition, the air sphere of influence that suppressed the German Empire not only relied on fighters, but also bombers.

Hitra prematurely exposed the results of the German Air Force's bomber, and an English Channel incident forced the Chinese Empire to launch more powerful bombers.

In order to fight against the most advanced and powerful Gotha bomber of the German Imperial Air Force, the Imperial Air Force obtained a new bomber this time, which is also the treasure of the town courtyard that has been developed by the Imperial Academy for many years and sealed for many years.

The new bomber was named f20 by the Imperial Air Force Equipment Committee of the Chinese Empire, and the number f19 is directly defaulted. This is because the Imperial Air Force Equipment Committee of the Imperial Air Force hopes to use the default model of f19 to confuse the enemy and make the enemy feel mysterious. The more they feel mysterious, the more manpower and financial resources they will invest in collecting intelligence. This is also equivalent to a strategic deception tactic, which makes the enemy unable to distinguish the virtual and real of the development of the Imperial Air Force equipment.

This idea was quickly highly praised by the Chinese Empire military. The Ministry of War quickly formulated an attachment to the equipment naming, which added a provision to the attachment, that is, no new equipment will be numbered in order, but will disrupt the order and numbering, and default numbers will be used to confuse the enemy and make the enemy countries unable to distinguish between reality and reality.

Once the Gotha bombers of the German Empire were released, they had a huge shock throughout Europe, which made European countries around the German Empire panic. After all, such bombers that could throw eggs down from the sky were almost unpredictable.

Especially the royal families and nobles of European countries were worried all day long, worried that one day a Gotha bomber appeared on their home, threw down a fifty kilogram of eggs, and then they and their families were all killed instantly.

This panic is practical, and the Chinese Empire's garrison in Europe did not carry bombers at that time. However, the Chinese Empire's military appeased European friends not to be afraid. After all, the Chinese Empire Air Force deployed a large number of F16 and F16 modified fighter jets at military bases around Europe. Even if the German Empire's Gotha bombers flew over, they could still be shot down directly.

However, when the German Empire quickly developed the Fokker E3 fighter, this fighter posed a challenge and threat to the F16 fighter of the Imperial Air Force.

With an air exercise by the German Empire, the German army dispatched a large number of Fokker E3 fighters to cover the Gotha bomber for bombing missions. After simulating the Fokker E3 fighter intercepting the F16 fighter of the Chinese Empire, the Gotha bomber successfully completed the bombing mission in the capital of a certain country.

As a result, European countries began to become nervous again and were panicked about the Gotha bomber all day long. Media from various countries joked that it was a Gotha disaster for Europeans.

Now the Chinese Empire has also launched the F20 bomber, which is higher than the Gothic bomber of the German Empire in terms of production technology and performance.

In terms of appearance, the f20 bomber has a wingspan of up to 28 meters, which is four meters more than the Gotha style, and its length and height reach 15 meters and 5.4 meters respectively, which is significantly larger than the German Gotha style bomber.

Not only is it big, the f20 bomber weighs as high as 12,000 kilograms, which is three times heavier than the German Air Force's Gotha bomber.

Of course, such a big guy will inevitably affect the flight speed.

Although the Imperial Academy of Sciences provides the most advanced aero engine, with a single-machine power of 260 horsepower, and a total of four such engines can only push the f20 bomber to a speed of 170 kilometers per hour.

Although the speed of the f20 bomber is only 170 kilometers per hour, it is 30 kilometers per hour faster than the German Gotha bomber.

The key is that the size and weight of the F20 bomber are huge, and the advantage is that it has a large load, which can carry more pilots, equip more heavy machine guns, and throw more aviation eggs.

According to the design indicators of the F20, up to seven heavy machine guns can be installed, which is four to five more than the German Gotha bombers. It can throw 42 50 kilograms of aviation eggs, which is more than four times that of German Gotha bombers. It can also be replaced with six 200 kilograms of aviation eggs, which is a capability that German Gotha bombers do not have.

You should know that the power of a fifty kilogram airborne egg is huge and the power of a two hundred kilogram airborne egg is not the same order of magnitude. The relationship between the two is not four times, but the index times to the fourth power.

If a Gotha bomber dropped a fifty-kilogram airborne egg, it could blow up a fifty-ton gunboat or severely damage a 300-ton frigate, then a f20 bomber dropped a two hundred-kilogram airborne egg, it could destroy a one thousand-ton destroyer, or severely damage a ten thousand-ton heavy cruise ship.

If it is a cluster operation, even if the German army dispatched 100 Gotha bombers, it would only damage a fearless battleship of the Imperial Navy and would not hurt the super battleship of the Imperial Navy at all. Because the super battleship built by the Imperial Navy is not only equipped with a large number of air defense weapons, but also thickened horizontal armor, which can withstand bombing below 200 kilograms of aviation eggs.

On the other hand, if the Chinese Empire Air Force dispatched 100 F20 bombers, and carried 200 kilograms of aviation eggs, it could directly sink any main super fearless battleship of the German Empire's high seas fleet, because the German Empire's super battleship did not do enough in horizontal armor protection.

Of course, the German Empire's high seas fleet has realized this problem. Especially under Hitra's deliberate guidance, William II has ordered the modification and upgrading of all the main warships in service. One of them is to strengthen the horizontal armor protection capability. As for how much horizontal armor defense capability has reached, the Chinese Empire is still unknown.

Even so, once the F20 bombers of the Imperial Chinese Air Force are put into service in batches, it will bring huge military pressure to the Imperial German Air Force and offset the German Empire's air deterrence capabilities on neighboring European countries.

They are all bombers. The Gotha bombers of the German Empire have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that their cost is cheaper than the F20 bombers of the Chinese Empire, but their disadvantages are also exposed. After all, the Gotha bombers are made of fully solid wood, which will greatly reduce the life of the bomber.

But the German Empire had no choice, because they were short of funds and could not mobilize more funds to develop metal-skinned bomber fuselages, and could only use hard wooden fuselages.

In addition, even if the German Empire had enough funds to develop and produce Gotha bombers, its fuselage could only be made of wood, because Germany's industrial technology was not as good as the Chinese Empire, and the metal skin used for aircraft needed to be considered for weight and structural strength. Aluminum was naturally the best choice, but unfortunately the strength was not enough, and steel was too heavy. The German Empire's technology in metal materials was still lagging behind that of the Chinese Empire.

In contrast, in the Chinese Empire, as early as before the World War, Li Weiguo successively established magnesium-aluminum alloy production bases in the Chinese Empire and Australia.

The magnesium and aluminum raw materials stockpiled by the Chinese Empire over the years have accumulated as many mountains. They can be used to make metal aircraft fuselages with light weight and high structural strength anytime and anywhere. This is what Li Weiguo had planned long ago.

Since the power of aero engines in this era is generally low and the monoplane design concept cannot be used, it can only be a biplane.

For bombers, the biplane fuselage faces the problem of excessive structural tension. The ordinary wooden fuselage has a very short lifespan and is prone to danger in the air, so the chance of disintegration is very high.

In order to solve this problem, the Chinese Empire's f20 bomber adopts a semi-metal fuselage design, and the metal material is magnesium-aluminum alloy.

The reason why we use a semi-metal fuselage is really magnesium-aluminum alloy is still too expensive. The construction cost of building an F20 bomber is five times that of the German Gotha bomber. Even if we do not consider the high labor costs of the Chinese Empire, it will reach three or four times.

Fortunately, in this era, the semi-metal fuselage was already very tall, so the Chinese Empire military was not too picky. It would be enough to suppress the German Gotha bomber. As for cost issues, as long as it does not affect performance, it would be possible to save points.

Of course, there is another unknown secret among this, that is, the Air Force is not favored by the Navy and the Army, so when the military allocates funds to the Air Force projects, it has to consider these factors. After all, building an F20 bomber can build twenty tanks, and the Army will have complaints or excuses to increase military spending.

The cost can be said to be the only disadvantage of the f20 bomber.

In addition, the f20 bomber has many advantages. In addition to the new technologies used in f17 fighters and f18 fighters, the new bomber fairing is also the highlight of the excellent performance of f20 bombers.

When it comes to the fairing, we have to mention the inevitable problem of air and body resistance.

In fact, in terms of air resistance research, experts from the Imperial Academy of Sciences have also summarized a large amount of data through wind tunnel experiments.

One of the discoveries was the interference resistance formed by the aeroflow interference of the wing body combination. By the time of Jianyuan 4001 (1901), researchers from the Imperial Academy of Sciences found through a large number of experiments that the lower wing of a biplane aircraft may have the largest interference resistance of the wing body combination, which may cause stability and operability problems.

However, by installing rectifier devices such as wing body fairings, this problem can be greatly improved. In addition, some advantages of the overall layout of the f20 bomber in terms of structural design and aerodynamics, this layout ensures the flight stability of the f20 bomber to the greatest extent, laying the foundation for the future development of the Chinese Empire bomber.

Another one is the exclusive new technology of the f20 bomber, which is the torque-changing metal propeller. This is a equipment specially developed for the f20 bomber.

As early as the World War, experts from the Imperial Academy of Sciences realized that the torque variable propeller had great potential in improving engine power and its own efficiency. However, before the advent of metal propellers, due to the limitations of the structure of wooden propellers, the torque variable propeller was still theoretically still. As the Imperial Academy of Sciences completed various tests of metal propellers, the metal propeller entered the formal practical stage in 4001 of the Yuan Dynasty, so the torque variable propeller was finally realized and given priority on the f20 bomber, mainly to meet the long-term air stagnation cruise of the f20 bomber, because the metal variable pitch propeller plays a crucial role in long-term cruise.

When it comes to propellers, we have to say that another key equipment is also the core component of fighter jets. As the heart's engine cooling system, it will always be an important research topic.

In fact, since the Chinese Empire began the development of aircraft engines, fixed cylinder engines have always had cooling problems. The rotating cylinder engines during the World War were unique because of their high cooling efficiency.

In actual combat, the Chinese Empire designed a ring hood for air-cooled engines, which had a good drag reduction effect while achieving cooling. Then, the Imperial Academy of Sciences designed an aerodynamic hood for the aerial performance of the F16 fighter, completely wrapping the engine, making the aircraft have a better aerodynamic shape and directly applied to the F17 and F18 fighters. On the F20 bomber, a flow adjustment device was installed, which has a better drag reduction effect.

These new technologies eventually focused on the f20 bomber, creating a miracle.

For this miracle, perhaps the entire Chinese Empire would cheer and the whole world would be shocked and tremble, but for Li Weiguo, he was not as happy as he imagined.

After reading the reports of the new fighter and new bomber, Li Weiguo just nodded lightly because these were originally completed under his supervision. In fact, after the successful research and development, Li Weiguo was indeed excited for a while, but when he looked at it again, he naturally would not be as excited as before.

The Air Force's new fighter jets and bombers will be given priority to deployment to Europe. This is also a plan given by the Insider. It will deploy a large number of f17f18 fighter jets and f20 bombers around the German Empire to maintain an air blockade of the German Empire. This is the way the Air Force retaliates against the German Empire.
