The little props on the spats were for electrical generators, reducing weight, they just added to the sound but weren't the source. Thats why later versions had them deleted (electrical generators were engine driven) and they still could create the sound.
For anyone curious about the limited range, this was the result of German military doctrine which did not include strategic bombing as a main focus. Stukas were meant to be a kind of aerial artillery that served as reliable close air support, not a medium bomber
@@flamebreaker4340they were also limited by the Treaty of Versailles from building warplanes of a certain size. They had to disguise their early heavy bombers by using passenger plane fuselages which led to a lot of problems.

The dive brakes didnt suddenly stop the dive or made the Stuka to pull up. It only prevent the Stuka from going too fast during the dive. The pull up automatic had nothing to do with it, when the "pull up automatic" was activated, it just trimmed the Stuka nose down for the dive and after releasig the bombs, to nose up. Without the pilot pulling the stick back, the Stuka would not pull out of the dive by itself.
I knew an old guy who flew these things. He told me they were hard on pilots physically because every dive made them sick with a feeling their insides were “pushing up to erupt out of their heads”. He flew in Poland, North Africa etc Before moving to small rocket aircraft towards the end.
I really wish that a lot of the archival footage from the German film crews was still around it would be amazing to see what they had but also educational to really put into perspective what they decided to film
Ngl? Wish we had a equivalent to the Stuka Siren today. Like can you imagine a a10 but instead of just the brrrt you have that unnerving sound trailing it
Nah. The brrrt is even more terrifying because the sound comes after the bullets hit their target. So if you're still alive to hear brrrrt then it means some platoon just died and you're lucky that it wasn't you. Yet.
Some planes like the F-18 and Su-57 make whistling and rumbling noises due to their intake and ports when passing by at certain speeds. Other than the A-10's GAU-8 that's the closest "siren" effect we have
@@Atlas_high-gaming ok but a single A-10 can do as many runs as it wants, Stuka can't, there's just one bomb the worst part about the stuka was that once people got over the psychological fear or was an army with higher morale and better equipment such as Americans, the siren of the Stuka gave away the tactical advantage of surprise and only worked as an alert for the anti-aircraft gun crews in advance but there is no predicting the brrrrrt
It’s funny because the pilots hated the Jericho trumpets partly because of the noise but also because they’d give away the planes location making it easier to be shot down as the Stuka was a very slow aircraft
Stuka, was the original A-10 Warthog! So true the fact, that the most decorated German pilot flew a Stuka he was interviewed by the engineers who designed the A-10 Warthog.
Those dive brakes made the stukas easy targets for allied ground forces, so later on in the war most of them were disabled. They saw less losses that way. Additionally, those sirens were mostly done away with early on in the war because they would drone on even at cruise, and nobody wanted to hear that.
I remember the first time I ever played COD: 2 The Big Red One I was probably like 5 or so on my old PS2 these damn things and those Nebelwerfer (sorry if I spelled that wrong it’s been many years) rockets terrified me and I later learned in my high school days that this was the exact intention of those noisy war machines
God damn I moss those days, was about the same age, I spent fucking ages on the very first level where the trenches are when you assault the bunker😂 need to give that game a play/watch through
The recovery from the dive was an automated procedure by changing the trim of the tail that the pilot could set on a certain altitude and help the force needed by the pilot to pull out of the dive if the pilot had blacked out. Quite a neat feat of engineering
Indeed. July 42, El Alamein. Eleven 1 Sqn SAAF Hurricanes downed 13 Stukas and a 109. After the war it was found that two others had failed to reach base as well. The entire Stuka squadron had been destroyed. My father was one of the SAAF pilots
The siren scared everyone cause of how effective it was so gotta give the germans credit they knew how to look fly and scare just about everyone for a short time
The ironic thing about the Stuka's attack was that in order to be accurate the dive had to have a predictable flight path, making the plane easier for gunners to shoot down. Clearly with the noise and explosions this was a much harder thing to do than to say.
The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka would later be largely replaced in the daylight close air support role by ground attack versions of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger. The Fw 190 could carry roughly the same bombload as the Ju 87 while retaining fighter performances to enable the pilot to defend himself from enemy fighters.
In spite of the fact that the Stuka was antiquated at the beginning of the war it was so well designed at what it did that it was irreplaceable in the German warfare inventory. Kind of like the B-52 has become in the US inventory.
Also fun fact: I don't remember if it was all of the versions or just the early ones but the pilots were not given a means of turning off the jericho trumpets, making their sorties incredibly long as they flew to the target while constantly having to listen to that sound constantly whining for the entire flight over. 😂
Not quite like you wrote here. The dive brakes were to stop it from over speeding, the automated pull out was a trim set on the elevator for a certain altitude and the bomb release was linked to it so once the central bomb had been released it would auto engage the trim change
my great uncle professor Wilhelm flew in a ju87...but the RAF of England shot him down....his picture was always on my grandmas wall in full uniform. True.
I don't want to be that guy but I'm pretty sure the siren was on the bottom of the nose and the small propellor things were used for generating electricity. Also the siren was removed in later variations because of adding too much drag.
Yeah i agree, completely inferior. The Stuka was good at dive bombing, and not much else. It was slow in flight, meager armaments even after it received a pair of 2cm MG151s and it was sluggish. The OV-8 and the Air Tractor, despite being small, has a powerful engine, is agile, and can carry a lot more than a Stuka before finally being just as sluggish
Those auto dive breaks (to avoid crash if pilot faints on high G's) were a genius idea! Many modern aircraft lack this option, at least as a safe measure even if the aircraft wouldn't be made or used for such hard manoeuvers.
It’s a shame they didn’t upgrade the engines and make newer models for it’ as a close in aerial artillery platform it was a devastating enemy that was pin point accurate 99% of the time’ it was the first smart bomb in a way’ able to adjust on the fly, spot targets of opportunity, pull off a target for various reasons, the Russians had there version which also was similar tactic wise with the I2-Ilyushin, still a good tactic
German technology has always been cutting edge. Imagine if the Germans, Japanese, and Americans didn't fight and avoided all that hate? Where would the world be today?
There wasnt anything "cutting edge" about the Stuka at the time. It had standard equipment that the USN SBD-3 also had (trapeze arms, dive brakes, automated trim) and just like the SBD-3 it was outdated just as the war started. And just like the SBD it served well past it's age and caused many losses due to being completely outdated. Sure it had it's moments, but the Stuka is both witness and victim to several air battles that saw it get completely decimated
@@carterjones8126 You mean when they were the most effective and still relevant in the War effort? Poland, Netherlands,Belgium and France loved it for sure.... Oh and the Boys at Dunkirk -_-

So these were actually sirens, it wasn't like a whistle where the increase air flow made the sound?
It is just an artillery piece, as a plane its absolutely defenseless and easily shot down with a peashooter
did they also just fly the stukas with the trumpets just to jumpscare the allies ?
From my understanding, yes. It really was just a warning, so they were removed later.
and I always thought they made that sound because the particular shape of the baffling in the wings that were part of the dive brakes!? 🧐🤔🤨🤷🏼

"Cardboard siren"? "Outboard siren"? It's hard to hear what he describes the "Jericho trumpet" siren as.
4Gs, eh? I’ve experienced 6Gs (former USAF flier), and that’s pretty serious business. 4Gs isn’t bad, but it’s certainly no walk in the park, either.
"Stuka Junkers?" You mean the Junkers Ju-87 "Stuka?" That's, like, a mistake so basic the impression I get is "skip, don't recommend"
