The Do-335 was a great aircraft, but to be honest the Germans would've benefitted a lot more from a redirection of resources towards a quicker adoptation of jet engines. The Jumo 004, while clearly ahead of any jet engine the Allies had in service, could've benefitted greatly from just a single extra year of research. The Jumo 004C which was ready in early 45 would increased not only the performance of the engine by over 10% but even more importantly astly improved its' fuel efficiency, allowing an equipped 262 to reach Britain and back. Such a thing would've doomed the Allied bomber offensive completely.
Why do you persist in posting this nonsense?
The Jumo 004 is clearly ahead of ever jet engine the allies had in service by being inferior in every way?
Please tell me how the C-version results in better fuel consumption by increasing turbine temperature? This actually has completely the opposite effect, and with the limited reheat on the -D massively increase fuel consumption.
You're living in a dream world.
The Jumo 004D featured a new two stage fuel injector and throttle control, both of which improved upon the fuel efficiency while the new throttle control prevented flameouts.

I have a book about the Fokker D.XXIII, an aircraft with the same tandem configuration like the Do-335, only 6 years earlier. Biggest problem was the cooling of the rear engine, which Fokker redesigned frequently, but never cured totally until the project was stopped in 1940. I was wondering if the Do-335 had these same problems, and if not, how Dornier solved this difficult problem.
Clearly ahead in what way? None?
