Errr, no, we might still need you hereI will show myself the door now...
Moterhead. Ohhh yeahI'll probably decide for this version:
We now have the origin of the Tu-95. This was what the LW engineers were working on when captured.And continuing the silly theme:
Swept wing jet He-111 concept:

Interesting - care to elaborate a bit on that?Also a good way to use the overproduction of Jumo-211 engines, i am reading that even in 1945 there were still 7000 UNUSED engines!
Well, in the book German Aircraft Industry 1933-1945 it says that in 1945 there were on hand 2645 Jumo-211s and reserve stockpile of 4814, total 7459. Most were F to P models. These total were much higher than any other types like DB-605, not to mention DB-603, Jumo-213 or BMW-801. Also there were quite a few BMW-132s, 2940 of them.Interesting - care to elaborate a bit on that?
What kind of performance should be expected from a Jumo powered Fw-190?
Probably veering way off course here, but just very curious, would the performance of Jumo-211F/J/P etc. powered FW-190 be at least equal to the BMW powered one?
Does the Jumo have better altitude performance which as i understand was a weakness of the BMW? Or probably it will still need C3 fuel to mach the OTL performance at least?
Hmm, based on those figures, it still seems that boring out the normal Jumo-211 to 155mm for 37,4 litres capacity and just increase rpm slightly to 2800rpm would still get us a 1750 PS engine. This instead of the OTL 3250rpm Jumo-213 which took so long to get it ready.
Trouble is you can't bore out aircraft engines like you can bore out car engines.it still seems that boring out the normal Jumo-211 to 155mm for 37,4 litres
