It pains me to say it, but, scrap it and pour everything into the 262.
but were not put into production and standardized fast enough.
Towards the end some aircraft did get rudder trim in the form of a Flettner tab,certainly a couple of hundred K-4s and probably others,I'd have to check.
All the Flettner did was ease the force required by the pilot when using rudder.
Those aren't trivial changes. You've created an entirely new airframe which will be more capable but also more expensive to produce.1) Add a blown canopy and eliminate the heavy framing and almost non-existent visibility forward-left or right.
2) Improve the wing mounting to be 4 bolts instead of 3. with wing integrity being guaranteed for any three remaining bolts.
3) Move the gear out onto the wing for a wider stance. It could still retract outward or move further out and retract inward.
4) Put in 50% more fuel; there wasn't much to start with.
5) To handle these changes, the airframe would have to grow about 10% in wing area and some percentage in tail area. Not sure if length would be an issue as I have done no calculations.
6) Add rudder and Aileron trim.
7) Change the leverage ratio so the pilot could apply more than 1/3 or less aileron at anything over 250 mph.
The 2,000 hp DB605D (available late 1944) is better yet.
The 2000hp was only obtained with 1.98ata boost and using C3 fuel. It was cleared use, iirc, in late March 1945.
March 20th 1945. A bit late to have any effect. There is speculation that some units were already running with the increased boost but it had been forbidden as recently as January 1945.
