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...

SA.4000 V3 radiological 'dirty' bomb ... that's what the catalogue says ! (the V3 gun never made much sense as a 'vengeance' weapon)

hi all

Hello....... Could someone please supply more info on this system? Its the TSA-D2 by Zeiss. Its an sight/computer that was tested on an Me 262 A2, date unknown. It was to be used in place of the Lofte 7D (?). The system was comprised of 3 primary components. The sight, a 'control computer'...

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...

Well i remember i've read somewhere that the J-79MTU-17 ( licensed GE-17)engine , on top of the "normal" AB rating of 8110kgf , would also have ( like R-13F, R-25 discussed ), what apear to be an emergency mode too , the value shown there at H=0 and M 0.9 was 10200kgf!!! :o Is this true? And...

First of all, this is my very first post on this forum and while I know that no topic will be entirely original (you guys have been at this some time!) I have done a search for RAF 1946 and didn't find anything, so... I get a bit riled at digital documentary channels and their obsession with...

Well, Focke Wulf Ta-254 was project developed by Ta-154 ( originally denominated Ta-211) This prototipe was projected with Junkers Jumo 213E with 1750 Hp instead of Jumo 211F of 1340 hp of Ta-154V1 speed 678 km/h @ 10.000 metres - services ceiling 11500 ( on close up publications there was...

I need some info about this project... Images and performance data.

Operation Ikarus on wwii http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ikarus Anyone know more about this ?

I have seen that there is some info about steam powered Me-264. But is there info about other projects like Ta-400? There should be a wind tunnel model ... http://www.luft46.com/prototyp/me264.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_264 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Ta_400...

Did the XT-7 "Rotkappchen" and M42 see action in WW2? The XT-7 is mounted on a small trailer which doubles as the launch platform. The M42 (86mm rocket) is mounted on a stand and the base plate seems to be bolted to the ground. The M42 also has a launch tube and sighting mechanism similar to a...

Hi folks, I couldn't find an existing one so here is a thread for and unknown, secret or rare Junkers Ju-87 variants. To start with here is a photo (albeit poor quality) of a Jumo 213E powered Ju-87. It was a trial installation on a Ju87B. Regards, Greg

Germans fielded a number of airborne AT rockets in the winter of 1944/45. There were Panzerschreck 1 and 2 and Panzerblitz 1 and 2, while Panzerblitz 3 and 4 were in development. Sadly, there's an incredible mess in available books as far as details of these rockets are concerned - e.g. I...
