I've attached a picture found in the 1953 book Koku Gijutsu No Zenbo. It shows the Ka-10 pulse-jet. Now, most, if not all of the illustrations of the Kawanishi Baika (the plane that was to use the Ka-10) do not show the front of the engine as depicted here. We usually see it with a round intake, or cowl if you will.

Do the assembled here think the Ka-10 as shown in the picture is accurate as used? It does have some resemblance to the front of the Argus 014 engines used on the Me 328B-1. Or, is the picture simply showing the front end without a cowling or intake cover.

Thanks for the links. They do illustrate my main question on the Ka-10. If you compare the models and how they present the Ka-10, you can see how the front differs from the illustration. Here is the version of the Argus that looks similar in the front, to a point, to the Ka-10.

Hi, I am studying aeronautical engineering and am looking to build a variant of V1 engine and am searching for plans, do you know where I could get the full plans of that photo and anything else that could help? Thank you :p

Good evening @Justo Miranda and anyone else active in the forum. I was wondering if you had the full version of those cutaways and anything else regarding the Argus engines in original axis format or other, it would be greatly appreciated as I would be using it in my Aeronautical Engineering Degree Thesis!
