Is it a hoax or a fact ?

Re: Check this out !

Yes, two are flying and three more are in various states of construction.

Really cool. There was a conversation on an other site that the inflight photo gear retracted would have been a computer graphics artwork.

Messerschmitt 306 LAST VERSION ?

Hi !

Look carefully this last model Me 309 elevator and rudder....size and form of the rudder are totally different and elevator position is very high.

What do you think caused these mods ?

This plane has reached 744 km/h and used 1750 hp engine.

To me it looks very cool. In comparison to Mustang....where does the ram air come out in a Me-309 ?

Re: Check this out !

This Me 309 first flew in July 1942.

When did first Me 262 fly ?

-------------------------

I did some checking:

In 1942 July Me 262 had 920 kilos of thrust per engine..it was then considered to be a fighter candidate, but no priority was given.

Dornier 335

Maybe a winning combo..there was also a Do 435 on the way with 2 Jumo 222:s each delivering 2500 hp ( more wing span too ).

This DO 335 was a 765 km/h region fighter.

Here is a link: http://www.skylighters.org/encyclopedia/do335.html



Modelled by Pat McCurry ( from the US of A ).
