Heinkel He 162 (Revised)

255 CPTScorpion  8.7 years ago

This is a revision of the post https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1iwR7J/Heinkel-He-162-Updated. It adds a few changes to the fuselage that let me give the plane a more accurate look. It also reduced the top speed to something more reasonable. The Heinkel He 162 was a plane produced by the Luftewaffe during World War II. Primarily constructed from wood, it was one of the fastest jet fighters of the time. This model is capable of near historical speeds, with an average cruising speed of 600mph. When at speeds around or above 500mph, this fighter is capable of performing relatively tight turns while being very difficult to stall. Feel free to change anything and reupload as a modefied craft, just leave a link to this page in your description.
