X-48 Rhineland

2,613 Tythatguy1312  5.1 years ago

So following analysis of some German Documents at least 1 prototype was constructed, codename Rhineland. Extremely fast and beyond maneuvrable, this aircraft was one of the first to reliably break the sound barrier. However speaking of reliability this aircraft came up extremely lacking, and thus the project was shelved with the only prototype placed in storage. It's maintained in flyable condition at the museum as of 2019. Armament is 2 30mm autocannons.

This is my second aircraft to run into Harold the helicopter syndrome isn't it.
