Junkers JU-567 ''Nachtfalke (Night Falcon)'' Bomber Challenge by @Rohan

119k DestinyAviation  8.9 years ago

This fictional aircraft (another addition to my German X-Plane series) would have seen combat in the Luftwaffe in 1944-45. It would have been equipped with the most advanced radar devices of the time and two Daimler-Benz HJU2000 engines (each producing 2,000 horsepower). It would have had a crew of three: Pilot, Rear Gunner, and Navigator/Bombardier. It had an offensive armament of six 20mm cannons and a defensive armament of three 13mm machine guns (two were located in remote-controlled turrets in the waist of the aircraft). It had an external load of two 250 lbs. bombs and one 250 L. drop-tank. It could serve in many roles; Night fighter, heavy fighter, photo recon, light bomber, interceptor, and dive bomber. Top speed is around 400 miles per hour and I haven't been able to test the max altitude yet. Two of these were captured after the war by the Aerostyle Aviation Firm and used to test the performance of new engines. Enjoy!

    @Rohan, I couldn't get it to be a successor, so I just renamed it. Please allow it in!

    @RABpilot I don't know why, but for some odd reason, I just love the cockpit style and shape, and its of such an interesting shape, too.

    Unbelievably incredible. This is way too good for you to have built it! (And that is a compliment).
