However, after being released from prison, Marcel began to design his first fighter jet. It took only 6 months from the beginning to the completion of the drawings, and then it took only 15 months until the first prototype was manufactured! What speed is this?! When designing, Marcel must have also referenced American jets, but this was only a reference, not a copy. Overall, Old Marcel's technical level was still enough. After all, he was in prison before 1945. After he came out in March 1945, he started designing the aircraft in 1947, and the prototype was released in 1949. In such an unfavorable early situation, he could still design a successful aircraft. I have to say that Marcel is indeed a genius!

Indeed, in terms of the performance comparison between the mysterious fighter and the MiG15 and F86, the mysterious fighter is not as good as the F86. If it is purely air combat, the MiG15 Bis also has an advantage over the mysterious. But overall, the MiG15 may not be mysterious and useful for the situations that Germany needs to face in future wars!

What is the main task of German jet fighters in the future? The first task is naturally to compete for air supremacy. I won’t say much about this, and the second task is to intercept strategic bombers!

First of all, let’s talk about the issue of fighting for air supremacy. The Crown Prince is not worried that the German army will encounter aircraft like MiG 15 on the Eastern Front in the future. The reason is very simple. There is no Enni engine exported by the British and no more than two years to imitate it. Why did the Soviets get the MiG 15 engine? Not to mention technical issues, just talking about time, the Soviet Union will not have the chance to give birth to the top first-generation fighter jet like MiG 15!

Because before the war, engines such as Nion were absolutely impossible to make. They had to eat at a sip and technology developed little by little. Even though the current technology line was much ahead of history, they must not take too much, otherwise it would be nonsense! During the war, all ports in the west of the Soviet Union would probably be taken down by Germany soon, and the sea outlet to the east was in the hands of the Japanese. So good, now tell me, how did the British engines and technical information be transported to the Soviet Union?

As for what does the Russians' first generation jet engine have to do with Enni engines in history? This is a bit complicated. The Russians' RD45 engine is completely imitated by Nyon, but because the metal smelting technology is not qualified and the creep resistance of the engine blade material is not strong, the RD45's life is only less than 100 hours. What about VK1? This plan actually started in 1946, and the designer Krimov did refer to the information of Nyon engine, such as various drawings and technical information. However, when Nyon arrived in Russia, in fact, less than 10% of the parts of the VK1 engine and Nyon were interchangeable. That is to say, you can say that VK1 referenced Nyon engine, but it was definitely not a so-called imitation!

Well, no matter how the relationship between the Russian and British engines in history is the only thing that the crown prince can confirm is this plane. It is definitely impossible for the Russians to use an engine of the VK1 level during wartime, because the time borrowing point is not allowed at all! You should know that in history, the VK1 engine was developed in 1946, and it was only 100 hours of testing after reference to the blade technology of the Enni engine. It was not put into production in 1952 and was finally mass-produced in 1953! So, calculating this time, how could Russia in this plane last for so long?!

Maybe Russia can make some business-based engines in this plane, but these fighter jets that use inferior engines are definitely not very effective in combat. Not to mention anything else, at least the mystery in history is enough to hit these defective products, so there is no problem in technology.

So now the question is, is there any need for Germany to build its own MiG 15? How to say it? This problem is a bit troublesome. The reason is very simple. To some extent, the MiG 15 is not suitable as Germany's second task! That is, to fight against strategic bombing!

The crown prince must be prepared for the worst, that is, what if the British were not reckless, the Americans fully support Britain and then launch a strategic bombing based on Britain?

First of all, one thing is certain that if it is a purely defensive strategic bombing, the Luftwaffe still doesn't have to worry about the technical advantages of the Americans and British jets. The reason is very simple, the range is a problem! If the P51D can accompany the bomber group to the sky above Berlin, then the first generation of jets will definitely not have the ability! After all, the range is too close! Of course, some people may say that aircraft of the F80 level can be equipped with two 600L fuel tanks? This statement is correct.

But have you ever thought about before entering the target area of ​​the bombing, if the escort F80 encounters the German fighter force, what should I do if the F80 fighter opportunities with nearly 1 ton of plug-in F80s? Of course, throw it away! If you don’t throw away the plug-in, you will wait to be shot down by others as a target! Then, no matter what the result of the air combat is, even if the Germans see the American jet fighter throwing away the fuel tank and flashing the person immediately, the American escort fleet has actually failed. The reason is very simple. The remaining internal fuel in the fuselage is definitely not enough to escort the bomber, and they can only return by themselves! To put it bluntly, as long as German aircraft are spinning around the English Channel or the North Sea, the size of the American escort fleet will be greatly reduced!

So maybe some people don’t have to face this question for the P51D that has escorted strategic bombers in history? The answer is of course necessary, but the range of the P51D is far enough. Do you know that the P51D has 185 gallons of fuel tank and 85 gallons of wing tank. Together, there are about 1,400 liters of fuel. How much is the German FW190A in history? But 650 liters of fuel, only 500KG!

Well, how long will the P51D range be? According to US military data, when P51D is equipped with two 110 gallons of fuel, when flying at a speed of 281 mpg per hour at an altitude of 25,000 feet, each gallon of fuel can fly 4.91 miles! That is to say, theoretically, two external fuel tanks plus a 370 gallon internal fuel tank can fly 2,896.9 miles in total! Even if you only use internal fuel, it will exceed 1,816 miles!

Of course, the calculation is inaccurate, because if there is no plug-in, the aircraft's resistance will be reduced and it will be more fuel-efficient. Moreover, this calculation only calculates the level flight status, and does not calculate the additional fuel consumption of takeoff, climbing and combat. However, if you do qualitative analysis through this data, as long as you are not particularly unlucky, even if the P51D throws away the secondary fuel tank in the previous encounter, they can still fight with the bomber! There is no way, the aerodynamic layout of the P51 is really amazing! In terms of aerodynamic layout, crushing all other aircraft, no matter whether you are a German FW190 or a British fire spitting!
