DFS Bombensegler (Hitler's Pub Dart)

480 DumpFox  7.5 years ago

greyfalcon.us: After 63 years of silence, Britain released details of an obscure plot in 1945 by Hitler to attack British targets using the most unorthodox scheme ever - a 700 mph pin-point Vergeltungswaffe (Revenge Weapon) V-5 glider towed to Britain by a Bf 109 and released to cause havoc. The Bombensegler would be of largely wooden construction with rigid metal structural supports throughout the aircraft and a 48 degree wing sweep designed by Dr. Alexander Lippisch himself working closely with DFS. It was designed to carry a single SC-1000 (2,200 lb) bomb for target delivery. (Keep throttle up at 100%. Pitch up only about halfway to take off. Eject rocket trolley between 5-10 seconds after liftoff. Should fly rather well.) (AG1 to detatch rocket trolley.) (Equipped with integrated booster to get to attack altitude.)
