DESCRIPTION

We created the Heinkel He P.1078B, which was developed by Heinkel based on the emergency fighter plan launched in Germany at the end of World War II! This aircraft is a single-engine tailless jet interceptor with an asymmetrical fuselage! The production was quite difficult, but I was able to complete it!

OPERATION EXPLANATION

Activate1:Position Light

Activate2:Open Canopy

Activate8:Engine OFF/ON

The aircraft will turn to the right during takeoff, so please adjust with the Yaw rudder.

History

This is a series of single-seat interceptors developed by Heinkel based on the emergency fighter program launched by Germany at the end of World War II. Three types of He.P.1078 were planned: A, B, and C, and He.P.1078B was a tailless aircraft with a short asymmetrical fuselage. This aircraft is equipped with a cockpit on the left side of the fuselage across the air intake, a neck leg on the right side of the fuselage, and two Mk108 30mm cannons as armament. The aircraft was excluded from the comparative review of the emergency fighter program, and the program was subsequently scrapped.

Consideration

The reason for the asymmetrical fuselage is that, rather than mounting armaments, legs, and cockpit in a single nose, distributing them over multiple fuselages reduces air resistance, reduces projected area, and reduces weight. I thought that the purpose was to make it possible to mount a large radar on the fuselage of the aircraft.
