Yeap was mostly used a glider tug. Only 12 were built.

and ever so much fun to shoot down in IL-2 FB.... with invincibility and unlimited ammo of course

Henk · Oct 14, 2006

Just think if they made it a bomber?

Aggie08 · Oct 14, 2006

Must have been a logistical nightmare, trying to make sure the two planes acted as one with flaps and rudder control, etc.

Henk · Oct 15, 2006

Still great aircraft though.

Logistics has to do with supplies not aerodymics or engineering.

Besides it was not that difficult to do. Any decent aircraft company can make it work and Heinkel did. The concept was not new and it was not a difficult task to build it.

I have a pic of the He-111Z.

I think that this is a fascinating plane but I think that there was a Ju290 one aswell!!!!! Not sure though

Henk · Nov 9, 2006

Do not know anything of a Ju-290 modified like this, but will never know.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Nov 10, 2006

No there were none that were done like this. There was no point to it.

you'd be better off spending your time developing a new bomber! she'd still have the restrictions of the original aircraft but would've been even more lumbering..........

It was never built.

Hopfully this time the drawing will show

Dolpho · Nov 15, 2006

Sorry, wasthe wrong drawing

d_bader · Nov 19, 2006

I thought I had heard of an idea to have a zwilling Ju 290. The picture from the link shown by JG57 Rall is from one of the luftwaffe secret projects books. It is not the fighters but is either ground attack or bombers books. I have to say that the luftwaffe secret projects series are superb and great to read and have a look at the outlandish designs.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Nov 19, 2006

The idea was drawn up, but it was never built.

Wasn't the He-111z also used as a tug for the air launched V-1!? I'm sure I've read about them, being shot down over the North Sea, by Mosquito night fighters.
