A redesigned version today could use 4 far more powerful Pegasus engines, and composite construction would make it a lot lighter It'd run rings around a V-22
Translation: All the people profiting from huge mega-air bases didn't like it. Also, both Germany and the U.K. decided to stop inventing stuff and depend on the U.S. to defend them. This allowed them to spend money on post benefits for their people, like 6 week vacations, free everything, etc.
Had no knowledge of this, thank you. And as always, great engineering from the Germans. Pity it has not been produced and in service.
I didn´t know anything about this plane until I saw this video. Thank you so much!. Excellent graphics, footage and explanations
......disinterested most often means "not biased," whereas uninterested simply means "not interested."
This plane is in a museum in Munich.

A great plane! Should not be in a museum!
Excellent commentary. Many thanks. Rmb5*
I remember seeing this plane in a children's book about airplanes back in the 70s or 80s.
Facinating!
Another unknown aicraft, at least to me!
The Plane is shown on The Man in The High Castle Television series

Translation of Translation. The US stopped spending money on education.
@@bfc3057 So the U.S. stopped spending money on education so we could fund the weapons to defend a bunch of spoiled brats. Yup, that's about it.
It is pronouned "doh", not "doo".
FFS. It is short for "Dornier" so why would it sound any different than the first syllable of that name?!
This was actually inspired by the Thunderbirds supermarionation TV series than a serious war plan. At the time, Thunderbirds were GO!
With a 3,500kg payload, this aircraft had only one advantage over a helicoter - speed.
As seen in the man in the High castle
VTOL Cargo aircraft are fools errand
DR Quest technology stolen.
