HISTORY:
this aircraft is based off of the Heinkel He-178, so here's the wikipedia history: The Heinkel He 178 was an experimental aircraft designed and produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Heinkel. It was the world's first aircraft to fly using the thrust from a turbojet engine. The He 178 was developed to test the jet propulsion concept devised by the German engineer Hans von Ohain during the mid-1930s. Having secured the industrial support of Ernst Heinkel, von Ohain was able to demonstrate a working turbojet engine, the Heinkel HeS 1, in September 1937. Heinkel pursued development of the He 178 as a private venture, independent of the German authorities and the Luftwaffe, keeping the aircraft relatively secret for much of its development. Heinkel was keen not only to demonstrate the capabilities of aviation gas turbines, but had a separate emphasis on developing high-speed flight technologies. On 27 August 1939, the He 178 V1, the first prototype, performed its maiden flight, piloted by Erich Warsitz. This flight, which only lasted for six minutes, had been preceded by a short hop by the same aircraft three days prior. Due to its performance limitations, such as a maximum speed of 598 kilometres per hour (372 mph) and its relatively small endurance, the aircraft failed to impress high-ranking Nazi officials such as Ernst Udet and Erhard Milch, who attended a demonstration flight. Heinkel subsequently developed a twin-engined jet-powered fighter aircraft, building on the lessons of the He 178, to produce the He 280. The He 178 provided valuable test data to guide the development of subsequent jet-powered aircraft. The He 178 V1 prototype itself went on static display in Berlin for a time before it was destroyed by an Allied air raid on the city in 1943.

@IDK0 I used to take duolingo now babbel babbel is 100% better you should try it
@RepublicofWrightIsles oh yeah i just looked lol
I take duolingo german so i feel bad that I didn't notice
@IDK0 no it means "is and good" like wtf! I know a bit of German and that is grammatically incorrect
@RepublicofWrightIsles it means "It is good"
@AviationLoverGEEK445 that doesn't make any sense
ist und gude
@RepublicofWrightIsles lolololol
@DeeganishCountryball WHY WOULD YOU DISCLOSE THIS
@DeeganishCountryball yup, mine is a little more advanced than basic monoplane template with the structural reinforcements. I had to use struts for the horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer though
@B1BLancer @IDK0 Right Now: Biplanes are Outdated, and Early Monoplanes have Stolen the Spotlight
Hmm good plane, interesting
@IDK0 bf109 flew in 35 and mine is a diet version from the late 20s early 30s
@DeeganishCountryball im 10 years from jets i have like 3 more planes i want to do first
@B1BLancer @IDK0 Lets perhaps get to
Late Monoplanesbefore we get some Jets out of Unlisted?@B1BLancer @DeeganishCountryball PLease note that this aircraft
FIRST FLEWin 1939! In GERMANY!@DeeganishCountryball this is like 1930’s stuff already. Like the earliest bf109s from 35 or sum
@DeeganishCountryball just rapid development what can i say?
@DeeganishCountryball im gonna revert to early us-peashooters sorry :(
@DeeganishCountryball uhhhh it was unlisted???? oops
@B1BLancer @IDK0 Lets just like, delay the publishing of this stuff? (Yes I posted mine but its unlisted for a reason)
@IDK0 ye fr
@B1BLancer he already posted his jet soooooo
I think it was in part due to me with my I-16
@B1BLancer it is beautiful tho, interesting BF-109 X P-51
@IDK0 how does bro already have jets? It’s supposed to be gradual change in tech 😭 i have early ww2 stuff
