Best Jet of the War?

[NightHawk]

Unless you're flying a plane with diesel engines.

try flying a steam powerd plane ROFL.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Steam is quieter than diesel.

 

[MichaelHenley]

But it makes the plane much more visible, especially at high altitudes

The Germans did experiment with diesel powered engines though. We have a diesel powered radial engine in storage at the museum, although it's in pretty poor shape. Check out Diamond Aircraft, they have a diesel powered plane for sale now.

A diesel powered plane... What is this world coming to.......

Anyways, Ill be gone for the next week..... Home for the weekend, then back outta town... Have a good week boys and gals.....

 

[cheddar cheese]

You too

Yup, I believe the Blohm und Voss Bv-222 ran on diesel engines (Incidentally the Bv-222 was the largest operational flying boat of the war, and the second largest of the war )

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the germans had a couple of diesel engined sea planes..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yup. I believe they were a wee bit slow though.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

[cheddar cheese]

But they arent WW2 are they...

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Or that Saunders-Roe jobby...

That was WW2, it just was never ordered after or during the war, but it was ready...

 

[cheddar cheese]

Hmmmmmm

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well if it was never ordered it's not a WWII plane..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Indeed.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well come on CC, how the hell am i supposed to reply to that...............

 

[cheddar cheese]

You're not, you're supposed to not reply. You werent supposed to ask a spam question which will, undoubtedly, lead into a spam conversation.

Thats the annoying thing about this site, theres only so much about WW2 you can talk about, so after a while we all turn corrupt.

I can say get back on topic all I like, but there isnt really much point, it will only stray away again. It always does.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well a newbie in here would liven it up a bit...............

 

[cheddar cheese]

We never have any arguments anymore, people only make statements and opinions.
