Subdeacon Joe Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Obviously inspired by some of the concept drawings from Blohm & Voss. Looks like a pure interceptor, made to bore in and tear up bomber formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Im thinking- too much weight for the wing area- but interesting. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Mosby Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I tend to agree, with that high a wing loading maneuverability would suffer. And why on earth add the weight and complexity of contra-rotating props on the pusher?? Does look pretty neat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 A thing like that would soak up fuel like an open drain, but, I agree, it looks cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G W Wade Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 From the looks of the armament under his wings, he could be a lot lighter in 40-50-seconds. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
