Again, a little bit belated but finally here is the thing we have included in the Group Builds - a Members Choice Award, the Best Model Overall, based on the number of votes by Members... Poll will run for 10 days, so get your vote in for whose model you deem Best in Show....... Here's...

I'll be heading out on Sunday where I'll be crew chief for 2 L39s flying in the jet class. Since last year team "RIFF RAFF" owner Raf Collado acquired "Fast Company," (race 8) an L39 owned and raced by my good friend Phil Fogg who won the jet class gold last year. Racing Jets Incorporated |...

The contents of the article may or may not have been covered at some point in old threads here. In the current (August 2015) issue of "Air Force Magazine" there is a very interesting article "The Goering Interrogation." This occurs the day after VE and conducted by Spaatz and Vandenberg...

Okay so I know the Nickel, Cobalt and Molybdenum were the primary metals to construct the jet engines. What was the percentage of each metal going into the jet engine? Also what other metals am I missing? How much of each metal was needed in order to construct 8,000 units?

Hi , i'm looking for how many aircraft destroyed by 56.FG's P-47M1-RE's ? Also they have 7 jet kills and i really want to learn which pilot and which aircraft killed which type of jet ? I looked for some P-47M kill records but only one i found is Me262 shot down by George Bostwick. Also i want...

So there has been very limited, yet notable, testing on the Me 262 with assisted rockets to boost takeoff, as the early jet engines had low power on takeoff. My question is this, could there have been a Me 262 with four detachable rocket boosters to help with takeoff? I also understand that...

If there was not a WW2, say Hitler dies of a heart attack or something like that pre-1939, how long would it take the US to develop jet engines without British assistance? They were pretty behind compared to the Europeans and needed British developments to jump start their own program in 1943.

Okay so this come into my mind as I was thinking of ways to increase the roles of a plane without having to resort to multiple planes in the role. What if they made a plane with specially detachable wings? There would be two versions of the wings, swept and straight. Imagine swept being used to...

In the recent topics where jet engine development has come up in discussion, there hasn't been much mention of turbofans (or any form of high speed ducted fans) beyond noting their efficiency in the speed ranges actually useful for WWII aircraft. During some of the pulse jet and rocket engine...

So I was looking into the Me 262 and I found information about propositions to make the engines sync with the airframe, along with sweeping the wings back 35 degrees instead of the 18 degrees on the standard Me 262. I understand that the speed would increase significantly, but what other aspects...

I have been looking around for the full cost of a Messerschmitt Me 262. All I could find available is that the airframe cost around RM87,400, while the Junker 004 engines cost around RM10,000 each. How much did the mk 108 cannons along with the electronics cost?

I was just looking at my stash and thinking ahead. Is the jet age GB a specific period or just anything without a prop ? For some reason ( probably my stupidity, stress levels and advancing years ;) ) I had it in mind this was all about the dawn of the jet age, but reading it again I am not...

Hello ~ Im a student and Im doing some kind of project that I have to search for the history of the jet engine and also the contribution of jet engine to the wars and society in the year of 1930-1953~ I need some solid proof and evidence for my school projects like pictures from books and...

WNr.112372, yellow 7 of I./JG7 This aircraft was originally test-flown on 23 March 1945 and subsequently delivered to JG7. The British then captured it at Schleswig. Became AM51, now on static display Aerospace Museum at Cosford. Haven't seen the "x" on this air-plane before.
