Original Builders Notes:
Based very loosely on the Aerodyne II design form Cutangus on Deviantart, here is my entry for the competition. As everyone now knows the Germans where experimenting and developing advanced technology, in this instance they have combined their early Jumo jet engines (new larger model used) with a gearbox and counter rotating propellers to form turboprop ducted fans. This enables high speeds to be achieved while improving fuel economy. As with late war developments, short cuts where taken to enable faster production. The overall wing sections didn't need as much lift as a normal aircraft as the duct work for the ducted fans also increased lift, this allowed for a more slippery design and thus faster speeds while still maintaining a nice handing aircraft for landing. Armed with 8 MG17 machine guns (7.92mm) and 2 MG FF cannons (20mm) forward facing, 2 MG17 and 1 MG FF rear facing with two wing mounted weapons pylons, this design was equipped for bomber and fighter interception and also met Hitlers requirements for all aircraft to also be able to carry bombs (Hitler had an aversion to fighters late war and required all new aircraft to be bombers.) The majority of camo has been built with the panels so there isn't any flickering of colors.
