a bit late but maybe interesting for you.... Section 3, War Stories by Lyle Hansen The diving platform had been rigged and the diver was getting his hardhat bolted down when a call from Tacloban came through mentions that p-38 crash and has a photo of the Randolph burning. from...

Something about that Vought V-507... http://www.up-ship.com/drawndoc/adwg16ani.gif http://www.aoe.vt.edu/~mason/Mason_f/SD1L9vgs.pdf (slide 30) Program VFX - Grumman F-14 Tomcat

What would the Walter 109-500 rocket engine (RATO unit) do for take-off and fuel consumtion at take-off? Put 4 or 6 of these little engines on a Ju-390 (if possible) would help to reduce the needed runway length...they were planned for use on the Me-264 but never used on the Ju-390

Douglas XB-19 maybe ? It's design predates the B-24 (IIRC it flew later).

B-17 is the better aircraft of those 2!! Why would they otherwise bother with putting a B-17 nose onto a B-24 body... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BlJ4me-BTk here is the story: Unreal Aircraft - Hybrid Aircraft - Boeing B-17G / Consolidated B-24J ...actually i think the...

That is why al sources should put the engine power in kW! Just to get rid of the difference of PS and hp! PS = 735.49875 W hp = 745.6999 W BMW 801 D-2 had 1272 kW 1272 / 0,73549875 = 1730 PS 1272 / 0,7456999 = 1705,78 hp

No that (the Ef100 - Ef 53 part ) was just a sarcastic remark;) Design maybe related to the Ef100 but the Ju-390 was a Ju-290 development (enlargement of the Ju-90/290 airframe )

I donnu...i've learned 3 things in a few moments just watching these pages! 1. that Bodo was 1200 meters... 2. that the Ju-390 was developed from the Ef100 and not a development from the Ju-290/90 3. some people can't be convinced of anything!

This would be nitpicking: Bodo was 1200 meters long that would mean even a Ju-290A7 could not take of with a 99,180 lb / 45000 kg takeoff weight (takeoff distance would be 4,092 ft/ 1240meters)! A Ju290A7 would have had a better power to weight ratio (114,72 W/kg) than a B-36 or a Ju-390...

This one is a classic... B-36B... Takeoff run 6000 feet at sea level. Takeoff run over 50-foot obstacle 8000 feet. 6000 ft = 1828.8 meters 8000 ft = 2438.4 meters at Combat weigth that is (227,700 lb or 103282 kg)! The B-36D (with those jet engines remember) did better...

Did anybody check Kiwikid's comparison facts/statements here? First of all a B-36 with a MTOW of 190,000kg (410,000 lb) would have been the B-36J wich had 6 x Pratt Whitney R-4360-53 (3800 hp each....22800 hp but also 4 x 5200 lb.s.t. General Electric J47-GE-19 turbojets) a B-36B...

What calculator do you use? 1hp = 745.6999 W = 746 W 10,380 hp / 166,400 lb = 0,0624 hp/lb Ju-390 (10380 x 746) / 75500kg = 102,56 W/kg 8,000 hp / 111,522 lb = 0,0717 hp/lb Ju-290B-2 (with 2000hp BMW 801E with C3 fuel) (8000 x 746) / 50600kg = 117,94 W/kg takeoff distance 4537ft or...

Hey Alx (Alessandro)! It looks great but i wonder how it will work with firepower and other CFS3 add-ons? Looks like the GC has a few extra members! I just downloaded it but now i see that i need to do a reinstall of CFS3 (to get a clean install)!

No it's not! It's a bad translation of the German name Königstiger (Panthera tigris tigris) wich actually translates to Bengal Tiger in English!

Although some writers have stated that Ta 152s flew "top-cover" for bases from which Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighters operated, this seems unlikely..... The Ta 152s of the Stabsschwarm did fly airfield protection duties for the Doras of II./JG 301 given that the various Gruppen of JG 301 were...
