Reading another thread on the Natter led me to think that this may be an interesting topic of discussion. German pressure suits designed during WWII for high altitude aircraft. Draeger was a leading manufacturer of pressure suits, beginning with underwater pressure suits for divers. Here are a...
Hi,
As this project (for the replacement of the French Rafale and the German Eurofighter) is different of the Airbus project to replace the German Tornado and the Spanish F-18, I open a new topic :)
Well, as the time to replace Rafale and EF is not for tomorrow, this topic may last for...
Just a thought that occurred. The German Armed Forces have been massively downsized since the end of the Cold War. Assuming a
decision were taken to re-arm to meet current threats what projects would be back on the table? Or what stuff would you like to see?
The development of the Hs 293 is covered, too, in "Die Geschichte der Henschel-Flugzeugwerke AG 1933 - 45" by Horst Materna.
A series of enlarged versions of the Hs 293A was the Hs 293C, for which different guiding systems were proposed. The C-4
was a pre-version of the later Hs 294 glide...

The MBI book on the Heinkel He 162 presents several contenders in the "Volksjäger" competition, including the Blohm & Voss P 211.
Attached below are three-view arrangements of the two proposals described above.
In the autumn of 1944, Reichsmarschall Göring requested that Junkers, Arado and Messerschmitt design and produce very long range high speed bombers capable of carrying 4-ton bomb payloads. The goal was to be able to attack distant maritime convoys and strategic targets in both the U.S. and the...
The Navy MQ-4C Triton is designed to provide the Navy with an advanced autonomous air vehicle and state of the art service-oriented architecture mission control system that will enable it to provide persistent maritime Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) directly to the maritime...

Testers Find Limitations For Global Hawk
Jun 6, 2011
By Amy Butler
U.S. Air Force testers say the Global Hawk Block 20/30 unmanned aerial system (UAS) is unable to completely and reliably perform the high-altitude imagery and signals intelligence collection missions for which it is...
Hi,
after finally crossing my sources I present you guys a Heinkel project to embark in the "Graf Zeppelin" aircraft carrier. The well-known sesquiplane He114 was subject to an advanced design featuring retractable wheels (I don`t know about the tail one) and a bigger (full span?) lower wing...
In 1945 Heinkel began development of a bomber which was propelled by four jet engines.
This bomber has the layout of the later Victor bomber used by the RAF, a delta wing with a T shaped tail.
This bomber was capable to reach long distance targets I believe even targets into the US.
I'm...
Found that profiles at my old mags. (Aviation & Marine International Sept. 1979)
The quality is awful (it can hurt your eyes) as it was a second hand magazine and I had no choice to get a better copy. Could any of our German members post decent drawings and brief data of the Bo 125? And can...
I have a very poor microfilm blueprint scan of the Blohm und Voss P.173.02 long range bomber.
From what I can make out it is a six engined bomber that shares the wings and tail of the BV 238 seaplane.
Does anyone have any good drawings or information on this project?
I'll try to make as clean...
