Triebflügeljäger....

Hi all,
i'm revisiting the triebflugel in rhino for rapid proto and 1/72 model....

Looks good, though the fairings for the four support wheels doesn't look right.
Also be sure to give it a erctangular Focke-Wulf style windscreen and a hinging canopy. Some model kits got this wrong.
Here's mine :) http://home.wanadoo.nl/r.j.o/skyraider/trieb_1.htm
Check out the interactive 3D model to have a closer look at the mentioned details.
A larger version of this drawings was my main reference: http://jpcolliat.free.fr/trieb/images/trib6.jpg

Nice Gery.
Wonder how this one could have contributed with anything useful to the existing airforce machinery Germany had at the time, apart from looking odd and beeing a VTOL interceptor. Had it been able to stand a chance against allied escort fighters? It looks a bit clumsy for a fighter, not to mention most likely, beeing vulnerable in the landing/take-off phase.
I wouldn't be surprised if I'd heard it had been tested out in the USSR post war. Soviets sure got their hands of some jewels those days

The Triebflügeljäger never got beyond the paper stage (including a paper scale mock-up). I have a bunch of preliminary calculations for it at home, which indicate it would have had a top speed of 1000 km/h. I doubt it would, but if it would be anything close it'd have been untouchable by allied fighters, as besides superior speed it would have had superior climb and manouevring capabilities as well.
It would have been vulnerable in the hover, but given the fact it could land anywhere and single spots could easily be defended by a couple of quad 20mm AAA guns, I think it wouldn't be nearly as vulnerable as the Me 262.
My main concern with this design is... I doubt it could fly at all - and if it could, it would be too difficult to fly without fly-by-wire :)

hi all and thank for reply..

Last update, the solids is soon finish..;)

Looks like a nice and easy model to build :)
The only thing that needs fixing is the windshield. The armoured glass is rectangular, with the left and right "bars" being parallel (just like the Fw 190).
