Ah, the famed 'Oozlum Bird' !
With only one wing, it was forced to fly around in ever decreasing circles, until it finally disappeared up it's own orifice .........

Kaiser-Fleetwings A-39

Picture from: "U.S. Experimental Prototype Aircraft Projects: Fighters"

The Kaiser-Fleetwings A-39 was a project by Kaiser-Fleetwings in the 1942-1943 period for an attack aircraft powered by a single Pratt Whitney R-2800 radial engines. It was to be armed with four .50 caliber machine guns and two 37 mm cannons, along with up to 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) of bombs.[1] Some sources claim that the A-39 was intended to be a twin-engined design.[2] The A-39 was canceled before any prototypes were built.

the SK V5 single-seat fighter which, essentially a scaled-up SK V4 and intended to out-perform the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in every respect, was intended to be powered by a 1,750 hp Daimler-Benz DB 603 liquidcooled engine. A maximum speed of 475 mph (765 km/h) was anticipated for the SK V5 which employed an unusual form of wing construction, this being known as the Skoda-KaubaBanweise tubular-spar structure and comprising normal ribs built up on a single tubular-type spar which stretched from wing-tip to wing-tip, the forward bulkhead and engine firewall to which the engine bearers were attached forming an integral part of the spar. This method of construction was claimed to offer both an increase in structural strength and a reduction in structural weight, and the Focke-Wulf organisation evinced interest at a late stage in the war, considering the introduction of the tubular spar in the Fw 190D and Ta 152 fighters. Unfortunately, although highly promising, the SK V5 progressed no further than a series of wind tunnel models and a full-scale mock-up as the RLM felt the development of an entirely new piston-engined fighter to be wasted effort at a time when emphasis was being placed on jet fighters.
Specification :
speed 765 km/h or 475.349mph and four cannons of 20 mm as armament 12.2 m wing span and 4500 kg takeoff weight

Development[edit source | editbeta]

Originally designed as the Do P.93 for passenger transatlantic service from Lisbon to New York, the Do 214 was redesigned as the P.192 for military service in early 1940. In 1941, a full-sized fuselage mockup was constructed in order to evaluate the interior layout. The fuselage was streamlined and of a round cross-section, with the interior consisting of two decks.
Its wings featuring a small amount of sweep on the leading edge, with straight trailing edges were shoulder mounted on the fuselage. Eight Daimler-Benz DB 613 24-cylinder double piston engines provided the power, with four tractor engines and four pusher engines. All eight engines provided power to four-blade VDM variable pitch propellers; the front propellers had a 5.00 m (16 ft 5 in) diameter, the rear propellers had a 4.60 m (15 ft 1 in) diameter.
The mammoth eight-engine design was intended for use as a military transport, with a large bow door admitting vehicles and bulky freight to the upper deck. It was also designed for use as a long-range bomber, flying tanker, aerial minelayer and U-boat supply vessel. By 1943, it was realized that long-range flying boats were not needed due to the worsening war situation, and the Do 214 project was canceled.

circa early 1967, the Air Force constructed its own full-scale mockup (not half-scale, as some sources claim) of an operational manned orbital version the FDL-5 to study the internal arrangement of components. The mockup, shown on a ramp at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, had a side-by-side seating layout and windows similar to the contemporary Gemini capsule, and seems to have featured a different base configuration than Lockheed's designs -- possibly for better landing performance. The vehicle was also shown with two large external fuel tanks. It appears to be about 60 feet long (ie, twice the size of the F-5 demonstrator). The design, too small to be a stage-and-a-half ground-launched vehicle, appears to represent an air-launched orbital spaceplane similar to those described in a previous post, The Salkeld Concepts. The wide V-configuration of the external tanks makes it unlikely that it could have been launched from inside a C-5 (although different C-5-launched versions of the FDL-5 were proposed, using in-line tank packaging). Since the footprint of the vehicle with tanks attached was similar to the very large ISINGLASS, this FDL-5 probably was intended to be carried on a B-52 wing pylon like the McDonnell design. The technology that made such a small orbiter possible was use of the high-energy exotic propellant combination hydrogen/fluorine (or hydrazine/fluorine, a more storable combination). Fluorine, highly toxic and extremely dangerous, required very high levels of manufacturing tolerances and extraordinary handling and system cleaning precautions to prevent explosions, but promised among the highest performance levels possible with chemically-fueled rockets. Its density and non-cryogenic storage allowed for small and light tankage compared with LH2-based designs, while its high exhaust velocity made for smaller engines of high thrust and great efficiency.

Development

During the second half of 1953, Fairchild, Bell, and Martin Aircraft conducted high altitude reconnaissance aircraft design studies for the United States Air Force under project MX-2147.[2] All three designs used Pratt Whitney J57-19 engines. The Bell and Martin (B-57D) designs were chosen for further development. The Bell Model 67 design was designated the X-16. A full-scale X-16 mock-up was completed and one aircraft was partially completed. It was designed as a high altitude long-range reconnaissance aircraft.
The X-16 design was breaking new ground with its design. Its wing was long (114.83 feet) with a high aspect ratio (11.9). It was significantly lighter and more flexible than usual jet aircraft wings. The entire aircraft was made as light as possible to fulfill its mission of a 3,000-mile unrefueled range at a 69,500 ft altitude.[2]
A total of 28 aircraft were ordered, but none were completed. The first X-16 was about 80 percent complete when the program was cancelled by the Air Force in favor of the Martin RB-57 in 1956. Although no X-16 was ever completed, it made contributions to aircraft design with its lightweight design. It was also a driving force behind the development of the high-altitude J57 jet engine that would later power the Lockheed U-2 and other aircraft.
