FW TA-283

7,109 Bearclaw189  5.3 years ago

This ramjet-powered fighter had along, pointed nose and the cockpit was faired in to the large vertical fin. It was to be powered by a Walter HWK rocket engine for take-off and two Pabst ramjets once operating speed was reached. The wings were mounted low on the fuselage and were swept back at 45 degrees. The ramjets were located on the tips of the sharply swept tailplanes to avoid any disturbance of the airflow. The aircraft sat very low on a retractable nose wheel undercarriage. Armament was to be two MK 108 30mm cannon.

Source: WW2 In color.

Features: Modeled Cockpit

Notes: Be careful when flying, it loses control easy.

Thanks to @Blackhattaircraft for trying to fix this plane.

    The Ta- series of aircraft is both simultaneously the coolest, yet weirdest WWII German aircraft designs.
