He-162 Salamander

[rickshaw]

Probably obvious He-162 developments ...

The French Arsenal VH.10 Salamandre cruise missile.  Evolved from a captured He162A-2, the VH.10 was powered by a Voison Atar 003 turbojet (assisted by a tail-mounted Hotchkiss-Brandt solid-fuel rocket motor in later models). The VH.10 Salamandre took off from semi-prepared airfields on a jettisonable wheeled dolly.

Interesting.  Perhaps alternatively air-dropped from the AAS 01A or AAS 01B or a development of either?

found this online... single pulse jet powered He.162 'Spatz' (Sparrow) development ...

found this online... twin pulse jet powered He.162 'Spatz' (Sparrow) development ...

Richard Chafer 'gekko' did quite a number of cool alternate He.162 schemes (my personal favourites being his Finnish schemed examples) a look through his folder should find them?

I wonder what sort of luck the pulse engine powered He-162s would have had. The Me-328 project was canceled because the vibrations from the pulse engines were damaging the fuselage. Two pulse engines between and over the very delicate wooden tail surfaces of the He-162 does not inspire confidence in this design.

Something crudely thrown together:

I love it, Greg! That head on shot just drops my jaw

Except that it's way too heavy for the lightweight airframe - even the planned 2 30mm cannon were too heavy and it was intended as a cheap, disposable lightweight fighter.  T

TsAGI B-1R Саламандра, a programmable reconnaissance drone. He-162A derivative powered by Kazan (GAZ 17) RD-20 turbojet. Unbuilt BB-1 project was for an armour-protected attack drone variant.

Thanks for that profile & info. That made me go out and buy an He162 model, just for the sole purpose of making one.

Don't ask me...I don't know why either:

I dunno, she looks pretty cool, Greg.

Maybe change it to 6-bladed contra-props, add a 37mm cannon (or two), plus rockets & bombs... You're looking at a pretty good ground-attack aircraft, there.

[The Wooksta!]

Apart from the fact that it'd tip over - all the weight is aft of the wheels - it's an aerodynamic mess and the He 162 wasn't exactly a good designto start with.

[Old Wombat]

And?... .... It still looks cool!



(I was promoting the aesthetically insane look. )
