V-1 Buzz Bomb

688 FightingFalcon  8.4 years ago

The V-1 flying bomb, also known as the "Buzz Bomb" or "Doodlebug" because of it's loud, blaring pulse jet engine, was a weapon used by Germany during the Second World War in their terror bombing campaign against Britain. It was launched by a ramp aimed directly at one of Britain's major cities, namably London. The bomb kept itself mostly on course with a gyroscopic control system, and when it had flown a number of pre-determined miles/kilometers, either the wings came off and it fell like a bomb, or spoilers on the horizontal tailplanes dropped down and the whole thing started to dive down. It was also easy to down for the planes fast enough to catch it. You could shoot it and dodge the explosion, or put your planes wing under the bomb's wing and flip it over so it would fall. This is as realistic as I could get it. The speed, dimensions, and unease of control are very true. Please leave an upvote or comment on what I can do to improve my stuff, and for something you want me to build. Thanks!
Edit:. This was submitted before the update with fuselage intake nozzles, so I will try to make model with a better engine as I can.

    @FightingFalcon wow looks good, you want a challenge? try making this, based on the same principles as the V-1 but slightly different and easier to fly.
