Best Jet of WW2?

Jesus Christ, LG. IT WAS A JOKE!!!

What was the thrust on the JUMO 004s?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i've got them down at 1,962lbs each.....................

 

[plan_D]

HAH! Crap.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

what??

 

[plan_D]

1,900 lbs is crap. The Rolls-Royce Nene of November 1941 was 5000 lbs.

 

[plan_D]

So much for German engines being as good as ours.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but look at the materials they had to work with.......................

 

[plan_D]

They were developing the engine from 1938, so they were in the same situation as Britain. I use this as a point that Britain was/is the superior engine builder in the world.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'll second that, and as we're the only two people on at the moment, there's no-one to prove us wrong, untill LG comes online..................

 

[plan_D]

How can he prove us wrong? When I'm right.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

ok then, but you just know he's gonna try and oppose us..................

 

[plan_D]

I don't get why they didn't put the Nene in the Meteor. I think they had an experiment with it, I don't know how it turned out though.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

they tried two differnt engines in the meteor, the Mk.I with two 1,700lb Welland Is, the Mk.II with two 2,000lb Darwent Is.....................

 

[plan_D]

I heard they tried the Meteor with a Nene, let me check.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

maybe as an experimental version, but that's as far as it went..................

 

[plan_D]

My mistake, I thought they might have tested it with a Nene. They should have done, it would have been great. Even a Derwent 5 'cos that would have been superior than the German engines, it was a very reliable engine.

Still the Meteor did see action on the Continent, in ground strafing runs. No air-to-air combat though.

TO BAD THE HORTON FIGHTER DIDING ENTER SURVICE i think in would kick allied bat.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

as would most german experimental types, but that's just it, they remained experimental types.....................

Jesus Christ, LG. IT WAS A JOKE!!!

I see Friday's stress relieving mission didn't turn out that well...




And as for English engines being the best, do you have any 50,000lb thrust engines?


I know power doesn't make an engine all around better, but four of those on the heaviest combat plane ever produced (Tupolev Tu-160 ''Blackjack'' Swing-Wing Bomber) create some amazing results!
