Brief technical description of Ta154
The Ta-154 was a cantilever monoplane with an upper wing of a normal aerodynamic configuration with a single-fin vertical tail. The engines were housed in wing nacelles.
Wing. Two-spar all-wood construction, one-piece in scope, was a single unit. Attachment to the fuselage - with four bolts. The relative thickness of the wing profile at the root is 16%. The front spar ran along the 23% chord line, the rear spar along the 70% chord line. Flaps - two-section slotted, metal construction with plywood sheathing. Flaps are driven by hydraulic cylinders. The frame of the ailerons is metal, the sheathing is plywood. The ailerons had aerodynamic compensation and were equipped with trim tabs. The toe of the left console housed a block of two landing lights. The air pressure receiver was also on the left console. In the toe of the wing between the engine nacelle and the fuselage there were ammunition boxes.
Fuselage. A wooden fuselage of oval cross-section, one-piece along the length, was manufactured as a whole from the first frame to the axis of rotation of the rudder. The fuselage nose skin and hatches are metal panels, the rest of the fuselage skin is plasticized plywood. The cockpit was in the bow. The crew of two was housed in tandem under a single drop-off part of the canopy that opened to the right (in the direction of flight) for entry and exit. There was a window on the left side of the lantern, and a handle on the binding. The radar operator sat facing forward. There was a folding step-ladder on the left side of the fuselage. Crew protection was provided by 50-mm frontal, 30-mm side armor glass, 12-mm armor plate on the first frame and 8-mm armor plates on the sides. The radar operator's seat had an armored headrest. The weight of the cab booking is about 150 kg.
Tail. Single-fin vertical tail, cantilever horizontal tail. The keel is made in one piece with the fuselage. The adjustable stabilizer is one-piece in scope, single-spar, all-metal. The stabilizer was rearranged in flight by an electromechanical mechanism. Elevators and rudders had a metal frame and linen sheathing. All rudders - with axial and horn compensation, the rudder had a trim tab, elevators - with plates adjustable on the ground.
Chassis. The nosewheel tricycle has a hydraulic retract-release system. The telescopic front pillar retracted back into the fuselage, while the wheel turned 90 ° and lay flat under the pilot's seat. The main struts of the linkage with an external shock absorber were retracted into the engine nacelles. The low landing gear height allowed the aircraft to be serviced without stepladders.
Powerplant. Ta 154 was equipped with 12-cylinder piston engines with direct fuel injection liquid cooled: Jumo 211 F, N and R, as well as Jumo 213A (had the same cylinder capacity as Jumo -211 - 35 liters, but the compression ratio, boost and revs have been increased). Both engines were equipped with two-speed superchargers. Dry weight Jumo211 -750 kg, Jumo213A- 885 kg. Reduction Jumo 211N - 0.645, Jumo 213A - 0.417. The Jumo211 engine used three-bladed wooden propellers VS11 with a diameter of 3.60 m from Junkers, and with the Jumo213A, three-bladed wooden propellers VS111 with a diameter of 3.70 m from the same company. The engine mounts are standard - two cast I-beams and two round braces. The oil cooler and the coolant radiator were placed in sectors around the engine shaft in front of the cylindrical engine nacelle.
The coolant had the following composition - 44.25% water, 44.25% glycol and 1.5% Schutzol 39 anticorrosive additive. Cooling degree control - by means of flaps in the form of a skirt. The blower intake was on the left. The exhaust pipes could be closed with flame arresters, which were attached to the hood with clamps. The entire nacelle had a metal frame and skin. Oil tanks with a volume of 116 liters each were installed at the rear of the engine nacelles. The oils used are Aero Shell mittel or Intava Rotring. The entire supply of B4 fuel (aviation gasoline with an octane rating of 87) was placed in two 750-liter tanks in the central part of the fuselage.
Armament. The attachment points on the sides of the fuselage provided for the installation of two 20-mm MG151 / 20 cannons from above with 200 rounds of ammunition per barrel and two 30-mm MK108 cannons under the MG151 / 20 with 110 rounds of ammunition per trunk. Cartridge boxes for MG151 / 20 were located in the wing, and for MK108 - in the fuselage. Aiming was carried out using a Revi 16B collimator sight.
Equipment. The standard set of aircraft radio equipment included a Lorenz communications ultra-short-wave radio station FuG16ZY with a ZVG16 radio compass unit, GEMA FuG25a Erstling identification equipment with a reception range of up to 100 km for interaction with an air defense radar type Wurzburg, radio altimeter FuGl0la from Siemens, blind landing equipment FuB12F from Lorenz and radio navigation system PeilG6 from Telefunken with radio compass APZ A-6. The communication radio station used a cable antenna and a Morane type antenna, the ZVG16 radio compass - a circular loop antenna under the rear fuselage, FuG25a equipment - a whip antenna under the fuselage, FuG 101а altimeter - 2 antennas under the wing, and APZ A-6 - a flat star-shaped multibeam antenna a round cover on top of the fuselage. The types of radars used are FuG212 C-1, FuG220 SN-2 or FuG218 Neptun. FuG350 Naxos Z receivers may have been installed on individual vehicles, picking up signals emitted by the British H2S bomber sight. Radar antenna types: Matrazen with four or one holder for FuG 212, Hirschgewein for FuG 220, 4 whip antennas on the wing for FuG 218.
