      If what I've read about the aircrafts history is correct it's fuel, t stoff and c stoff created the explosive thrust that enabled it to climb to its maximum height in record Time, however it was known that the fuel tank often leaked resulting in the pilot being dissolved, it was a proper widow maker

      This was primarily used as an interceptor to defend military airfields from allied attack. Despite its obvious speed advantages its higher closing speeds was also a liability as it made bearing guns down onto allied aircraft more difficult and because of its relatively short range once its fuel was exhausted it then made it very vulnerable to allied attack as it glided back to base

    Another excellent video (like the He-162) on a little covered subject. The chemicals, called T-stoff and C-stoff, were unstabale and EXTREMELY corrosive. I read that at least in one case a leak from a ruptured fuel line "literally melted away" a pilot ....

    • @showtime112
      @showtime112  5 месяцев назад +2

  • @Eric-kn4yn

    The 163 swept back wings were designed from the start and were more swept than 262 which wing sweep were incidental to correct CG..

    • @gort8203
      @gort8203 5 месяцев назад +1

      The 163 wings had to be swept back to provide longitudinal stability and control because there was no horizontal tail. If the wing had been straight the negative pitching moment of the airfoil would have been uncontrollable. You need surfaces aft of the CG that provide a compensating positive moment, and you get them back there with wing sweep. This is why flying wing aircraft had swept wings long before compressibility was a problem.

    • @drstrangelove4998
      @drstrangelove4998 5 месяцев назад

      That the 262 swept-back was accidental due to CoG issues is a silly but persistent allied propaganda myth Eric, obvious if one thinks about it for a moment.

  • @brealistic3542
    @brealistic3542 5 месяцев назад +3

    Komets had some success at taking P51 down. August 1944 three komets from Jadgeschwader 400 shot down three P51b from the 352 American fighter group. A common komet landing tactic was to dive at very high speed straight down without power to their airfield after the fuel was gone and circle very close to the field protected by normal fighters and AA guns.
    More then likely the komet that the pilot counted as a probable got away. The moment could dive and recover at very high speeds unlike the P38 that would suffer compressabilty if they tried a max dive.

    I hope in part 2 you show that Comet victory over a Mosquito. The Comets' fuel burn was just coming to its end and a Mosquito was chasing it, but in the dogfight the Mosquito overshot in the turn and the Comet pilot pressed his guns and down went the Mosquito.
    *From a Comet pilots own account.
    I think the Comet concept was to use very high altitude as a potential energy source and then glide in and out of bomber formations. And because of its aerodynamic shape it could continue to fly at high speed even in glide mode. Then I am guessing the pilot would use the remaining speed at medium altitude and themals just like a normal glider to again gain altitude. This could go on for many miles radius and it could keep up with the bomber formations.🐞

    Not many aircraft are powered with a hypogolic fuel that dissolves its pilot and requires wearing a rubber flightsuit to avoid it. Amazingly "Winkle" Brown took one up for a successful powered flight, with the aid of an experienced Luftwaffe ground crew. In fact, I think the only test flight he turned down was to try a flight in a Natter (Adder), the manned surface to air missile intended for disrupting the bomber streams.
    Post War a number of countries built rocket boosted fighters, some were more rocket booster than anything else. My favourite example(s) was the Saunders Roe SR 53 and SR 177 family. This was under development for both RN and RAF. A conventional jet engine for sustained flight and a controllable powerful liquid fuel motor mounted on top for boost and sprint. The Royal Navy version was to be carrier capable, fuelled with hydrocarbon plus liquid oxygen prepared on the carrier itself. This was thought relatively safe as LOX spillages could be washed down. The RN was already boosting the oxygen content of its torpedo oxidant so had practice. .
    The Federal German Luftwaffe seriously considered the RAF Saunders Roe as a replacement for its ageing Sabres.
    As a manned test bed for near space entry the US trialled a F104, with an auxiliary controllable liquid fuel booster at the tail, there must have been other examples.

      The rocket fuel could dissolve flesh or any other organic material it came in contact with, but I think there waa just one case in which a pilot actually died this way. Some were injured by the fuel but survived.

      A wonder and a miracle are similar words. Both seem to be in use in English when people talk about 'Wunderwaffen'. Personally, I like 'wonder weapons' more.

    • @showtime112

      It was actually more dangerous on takeoff as it was full of rocket fuel. They usually landed empty. But that wasn't a walk in the park either.

    Great video and it is very informative. However, I advise you not to use fake "gun camera newsreel" shots, as it undermines the authenticity of what you are doing. Everybody is fake nowadays --- you should be the exception.

    • @showtime112
      @showtime112  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for the feedback. Regarding the authenticity issue, I don't see it that way. 'Fake' would be creating something which never happened and then trying to convince people that it did. The whole point of these videos is to visualize things which actually happened (or at least, which sources describe as such). One day, we should be able to create footage which will look 100% authentic. As long as you make clear they are created (and in the case of gun camera in this video, they obviously are), I don't see a problem. If I could make a video look completely like original footage, I'd do it.

That is OK, but it would be better if you had said, "this is a reenactment to show what it looked like." You add to the deception by showing a pretend gun camera take without mentioning that the take isn't real either. Why?
