Jet powered WW2 aircraft

[Jesse220]

Well sense we talked about the Jet powered mosquito and I am impressed to see a jet powered Whirlwind Aircraft. I was also thinking that we might see other Piston powered WW2 aircraft becoming Jet powered aircraft. What do you say?

[TsrJoe]

proposed British examples im aware of ... spitfire, barracuda, firefly, anson, buckingham, sturgeon, whirlwind, mosquito, lancaster

US., airacobra, superfortress, bearcat, (thunderbolt ?), mustang

Germany, fw.190, (me.109 ?) ar.240

Awesome.  :thumbsup:And I'm thinking now we could turn the JU-87 Stuka in to a jet. And the fictional Flying wing plane from Indiana Jones raiders of the lost ark movie into a jet also

Someone here built a jet aircraft using the wings of a Spitfire and the engines from a Meteor and it resembled an A-10. It was impressive.
In addition to just replacing the piston engine with a jet some creative kitbashing yields great results.

P-47 and other round and fat radial engine fighters.

Yeah they were making a Jet variant of the Fw-190, but that was backed down because we were winning the war. Oh and I love to see a Jet variant of the A6M Zero plane

Has Anyone thought about what a Jet Powered P-51 would look like? But i Shudder to Think about What If the Me-110 was Jet Powered! Stay Cool. Dan

Yes, it would look like the FJ-1 Fury  ----      you know the jet that has Mustang wings, tail etc ---

Has Anyone thought about what a Jet Powered P-51 would look like?

There's a few ways it could go:
- 2 engines in wings (did someone build that?)
- Engine in tail. Tophe just drew a couple of examples: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,4461.msg654689.html#msg654689 - or just take FJ-1 as suggested.
- The Yak-15 way with engine low in the nose
