Future engined warbirds

[Joe C-P]

Poot poot power!    

[Tophe]

Don't laugh, please: future technology may be precious and top-class (with Chanel perfume as fuel, yes)... The Diamond-Lightnings DiP-38s (or Deep-38s?) were such a rich project, designed just after the very first Roswell incident, 1944 (but no relation, probably, not extra-terrestrial technology of course, because little green men do not exist: US-citizens, do read the Bible!).


The ZOO-38G, F, R were projected in a future of stealth animal-like Lightnings, not flying but jumping & gliding (at low altitude), very fast. The engine is not known, the word "muscular" being written as an analogy probably not a description. What is precisely known is only the future fuel, named Vitamin++ (the chemical formulation of it remains mysterious, though).

[Tophe]

Electric engines are not a thrill when they drive a propeller but this is diffrent when they drive ionized air molécules (for lift and speed) as on these Plasma-38A, B, C:

[Tophe]

The SupElec-38A, B, C seem to have no engine, at first sight (for an observer of the 20th or 21st century) but they are designated as Supersonic Lightnings with Electronic Engines, does anybody know what it could have been?... No relation with the SupElec school in France (école supérieure d'électricité), or a joke from dreamy students, 1938 class year?


The ring-engined RiP-38A, B (of the "USBAF") remains also completely unknown, concerning the involved principle (and the user).


The same for these weird ones: they look fast but what is the engine? And what are those unknown devices? (that could be related to propulsion, or not?).

[Tophe]

These ones look like power drill but how could that propel an aircraft? The answer may be: making a hole inside the spacetime continuum (thus exceeding the speed of light!), but how does this work???

[zenrat]

Power drills or birthday cake candles?

[Tophe]

Power drills or birthday cake candles?

You are right! This is the explanation: God blowing the candles produces an airflow that drives the airplane fast! No? For believers only?

[Tophe]

This Flamethrower Lightnings look like they use rocket jets but without having understood the principle of them, or... is it even better as the future will prove?


The Laser Lightning LaLi-38A used the principle of the solar sail but with an embarked hyperlaser source:

The distance to the receptor is not at random but related to the red wavelength.

[Tophe]

The XT-38A, B, C used Miller Wheels engines (Roues Meunier, perpetual motion without any kind of fuel). I invented this device in 1983 (and published it in 1989) but with my time machine, I went today in 1945 to design airplanes using it.

[Tophe]

The SLB-38A, B, C Seven League Boots' Lightnings (Bottes de Sept Lieues) were not exactly airplane projects (flying high in the sky) but with a speed of 34 km per jump or step = 21 miles per second (76,000 miles per hour), they would have been very fast. But the technology of 1945 was not ready yet (even the human technology of 2017 will not allow to build this hypersonic craft)...

I am sorry to hurt your heart

the word "realistic" hurts my heart...

I don't think that would work. Any reaction you get from the sail is offset by the opposite reaction from the laser emitter.

Hi Tophe !

At the same time you invented the Roue Meunier, I worked on that project of heavy artillery ("king of the battles" for young whatifer ... before warbirds appear !). Photobucket is working not well, I give you the link :

My goal was to win the Azincourt battle if you accept to lend me your time machine ...

Your really on a roll Tophe. Some fantastic stuff here

Now look, please don't confuse this WhiffWorld with mere physical facts.

I guess that also applies, to a degree, with Sci-Fi-World!
