Beiyang 1917

The Sopwith factory was founded in 1912 by 24-year-old T Purwith, who relied on the prize money he got in the air competition. The "Camel" is the most famous of Sopwith's series of fighter jets designed during the First World War. It is equipped with a very common double-layer wing and a "Cragate" air-cooled star-shaped piston with a rotating cylinder in the nose. The engine is covered by a pair of bright metal thin shell fairings to reduce drag.Since there is a gap in the center of the rear edge of the upper wing, it is convenient for the pilot to observe upwards.

The "Camel" aircraft installed two machine guns side by side on the upper part of its engine. Of course, the aircraft at this time had already adopted a shooting coordinator.Because there is a raised bulge on each cover above the machine gun, like two humps, so the plane was named "Camel". <.This characteristic is not only loved by flying masters, but also keeps some pilots at a respectful distance.Because of a slight carelessness in maneuvering, it is very easy to enter a dangerous spin state and cannot recover.

It is precisely for the purpose of pursuing combat performance that the designer has to sacrifice some stability in order to increase the responsiveness of the aircraft.The designer intentionally placed heavy loads such as engines, pilots, fuel tanks, weapons and ammunition near the center of gravity of the whole machine in the short fuselage, and the vertical tail was made smaller, and the response sensitivity of the elevator and aileron was increased. Therefore, it is not so easy to control these "fierce horses" well.

Of course, the rotary engine has a strong gyro effect, which is also conducive to improving the flight maneuverability of the aircraft.But at the same time, different additional moments are produced for left and right turns, which makes maneuvering more complicated.Generally speaking, when the enemy plane has just completed two weeks of circling, the "Camel" can complete three circles, indicating that it has a greater angular velocity.This kind of ability is extremely beneficial for biting the target.In today's air combat, it is still a very important trick.This is also the reason why "camels" tend to have the upper hand in fighting.In addition, the "Camel" fighter also has the advantages of fast speed and excellent high-altitude comprehensive performance.

German ace pilot Red Baron von Richthofen was nominally shot down by a "camel" piloted by a Canadian pilot. The land-based version of the "Camel Camel".

后者于1917年3月试飞,发动机功率为150马力,速度可达200千米a小时,其上层机翼的上表面加装了机枪,机腹下可挂克小炸弹4枚或克炸弹2枚,用于攻击地面 12 目标,目前以开始在“百眼巨人”号、“鹰”号和“暴怒”号航母上服役。

In Wang Geng’s previous life, after World War I, Sopwith was closed down for some reason and merged into Hawker Aviation. Sopwith continued to engage in aircraft design, and his designs included “Hurricane” and “Harrier”.

Due to the limitation of engine technology, even if Wang Geng has that ambition, he will not be able to produce a Mercedes M109 or Zero fighter at the moment. The engine project team made a major breakthrough in the domestic Eagle ix aluminum alloy engine. The new domestic Eagle ix engine uses aluminum alloy parts to improve, increase the compression ratio, increase power, and reduce its own weight. This newly designed domestic Eagle ix aircraft engine will It became the engine of choice for Wang Geng to design a new fighter jet.

The specific parameters of the Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII engine introduced from the UK at the beginning are quite superior.

华飞机制造公司的国产引擎项目组在总工程师王助、副总工程师巴玉藻的带队下,在半年时间内完成了鹰vii鹰viii这两款罗尔斯罗伊斯公司经典引擎的国产化仿制工作,并在1918年2季度突破xing的使用华铝业公司提炼生产的高强度铝合金铸造引擎部件,到了1918年7月底,先后完成了华鹰ixv8引擎、华鹰xv12这两款大量使用铝合金部件的引擎的设计定型工作。

之所以华鹰ixv8引擎从原来的12缸减少为8汽缸,目的是通过增加压缩比提高功率的情况下,即使在使用了铝合金的情况下能进一步减轻飞机引擎的重量,因为罗尔斯罗伊斯公司的鹰vii和viii都是v12的大功率大块头引擎,原来净重高达396和408公斤。

Of course, it is no problem to install it on two-seater fighter-bombers and heavy bombers, but it is obviously too large in size and weight to be installed on single-engine, single-seat fighter jets. unforeseen results.

In fact, the se5 single-engine single-seat biplane fighter produced by the British Royal Aircraft Factory uses a weight of only 445ine and a power of 200hp (150kw).

<ine相当,而重量更是轻到只有202公斤,可单台华鹰ixv8引擎却能输出360hp268kw),堪称这个世界份量最轻和输出功率最大的飞机引擎。

Based on the introduction of the British Rolls-Royce Hawk series engine, this engine is imitated and improved by using aluminum alloy technology and a series of new technologies to design the Huaying ixv8 engine, which is the most important part of the new fighter jet design of the Chinese Air Force. one ring.This is also the reason why Wang Geng has never let go of mass production of SE5 and DH4 in China's aircraft factory. Although the design of a brand new fighter jet ranks third in terms of priority, it is Wang Geng who built China Airlines The most important part of the air force process.

Wang Geng’s principles of building China’s aviation manufacturing industry and the design and production of automobiles, armored vehicles and tanks are to introduce, digest, absorb, improve, optimize, and improve, and follow the design and development concepts of step-by-step, from simple to complex, and back to basics
