Chapter 378 JU-290 Bomber

In this era, the journey from Europe to America will not be so lonely and long, because Xius Aircraft Company has developed a large passenger aircraft, Atlantic One, which is enough for intercontinental flights!

Nowadays, the routes between Europe and America are monopolized by airlines under the Seuss Company. Traveling on this kind of plane has become a must for businessmen who pursue timeliness, couples who are honeymooning, etc.

This kind of aircraft is quite luxurious and expensive. Traveling by airliner is quite scenic, but it is flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters!

And now, the ones that appear above your head are the kind of planes.

Jack raised his head and saw the plane flying from afar. He almost immediately recognized it with his pilot's eyes.

With a long fuselage, wide wings, and four engines half buried in the wings, this aircraft is the Atlantic One passenger plane that has been popular in recent years!

There is an international route above our heads. They often look up at this passenger plane, and they are so envious that they are promising.

In this era, the Swordfish Attack Plane is still an old-fashioned open cockpit, and this passenger plane is already a fully enclosed pressurized cockpit that can fly to a height of more than 10,000 meters!

The technology of this aircraft is really advanced!

In the army, they often discuss that their planes will definitely not catch up with this kind of passenger plane, and even if they are anti-aircraft guns, they will be ineffective against this kind of aircraft.

The reason is too simple. They fly high and their cruise height is over 10,000 meters.

Although theoretically speaking, a 100-mm anti-aircraft gun can reach a height of 100,000 meters, at that altitude, the shells have no accurate lead. In fact, the current anti-aircraft guns are unable to do anything to hit a height of more than 5,000 meters, and they also require very high requirements for the commander's ability.

Therefore, if this kind of passenger aircraft is converted into a bomber, it will be a nightmare for the opponent.

Fortunately, Xius has made every effort to produce passenger aircraft, and so far, it seems that there is no claim to bombers for such aircraft.

At this moment, his eyelids suddenly thrust twice. He raised his head and stared at the sky in the distance. Something was wrong, absolutely something was wrong.

This kind of passenger plane is quite expensive and not many people can take it, so it only takes one flight a day, but now? Another one flew in the distance!

Two passenger planes on the same route? This is really unusual!

Then, when he saw the third same passenger plane flying over along the route, he had already raised his heart to his throat. No, there was definitely something wrong!

These are definitely not passenger planes!

Of course, it was not the passenger plane, but the Junx ju-290 bomber!

When it comes to World War II, there is something confusing. Germany's Stuka specializes in dive bombing and is quite proficient, but the Germans have severely lacked strategic bombers.

When it comes to large bombers, it is easy to remind people of the United States. The B-29 is simply a powerful bomber accumulated by alien technology of that era. It is the only aircraft used to throw atomic bombs.

However, it is rarely heard of in Germany.

Of course, this is related to many factors. For example, Hitler cared about dive bombing, so that it allowed large bombers to have dive bombing capabilities. This was simply impossible to complete, and many projects fell on this indicator.

For example, Germany does not need to be, their target is Europe, and tactical bombers are enough.

Of course, in the late stage of World War II, Germany actually developed some heavy bombers, such as Henschel's He 177, which was the only heavy bomber produced in mass in World War II. It actually met the demand for dive bombing. Unfortunately, its performance was not good.

For example, Messmit me 264 is the only plane that can fly to the east coast of the United States to bomb, but unfortunately it was not completed.

For example, Junckers' ju-290 bomber.

Historically, Junckers also had the Ju-290 project, which is a large four-engine aircraft developed by the Ju 90 aircraft. Although it is called a bomber, it is often used to perform reconnaissance missions and transport tasks. Because it has an advantage in range, it is often used to open long-range routes.

However, the current Junx ju-290 bomber has nothing to do with history. This bomber is the military version of the Atlantic passenger plane!

The Atlantic One passenger plane was jointly developed by Junkers and Seuss. After that, the two companies carried out productions, while Junkers' productions were mainly for the military use.

In addition to the passenger aircraft version, more of them are bombers! To keep it confidential, many times, these bombers are flying training at bases in Libya. When flying over, they just transport supplies. During training, they can also use new ammunition developed by the bases in Libya!

There have been many changes from passenger aircraft to bombers, with self-defense turrets added, navigator cockpits added in front, and the crew cabin inside was changed to bomb cabins.

However, from the ground, it seems that only one shadow can be seen, and no one can see the specific structure clearly.

And now, these flying bombers are the 100th Air Bombing Regiment of the German Air Force. They are just fighting in front of the station, and there are eight more aircraft behind!

Ten large ju-290 bombers, pretending to be civil aviation passenger planes, flew on civil aviation routes, and most of the routes were at sea and only flew over in the early morning.

Therefore, no one noticed the clue until now.

On the first bomber, bomb dropper Ludwig stared at his eyes tightly above the target.

There are many problems with bombing at high altitudes. For example, due to the influence of airflow, the trajectory of the bomb is definitely not a complete parabola. It will be a slight mistake. After the slightest fall, you will not know where it will be.

Therefore, the bombing at high altitude is more carpet-like. It looks almost the same as the target, and throws all the bombs down without being particularly accurate. If you cover them, you will be finished.

But now, their target is the warships in Scapa Bay!

Only dive bombing can have sufficient accuracy and hit a target like a warship and bombing at high altitude is absolutely not possible!

Of course it wouldn't work in the past, but now, their bomber carries special bombs!
