Me 262 with piston engines

[jcf]

The original patent for Nathan Price of Lockheed's Gas Reaction Aircraft Power Plant that led to L-1000 engine shows the option
of a radial piston compressor in place of the 3-stage centrifugal compressor fed by the axial compressor. The piston compressor
is driven by the turbine and would be equipped with sleeve valves. It's discussed in detail on pages 14 and 15 of the patent. Note
that it is not a piston engine it's a piston air compressor. Figure 9 in the drawing.

The J37/L-1000 is still around. I saw it at the  Planes of Fame Museum, years ago.

René Stapp's Land Speed Rerord car which he claimed would be powered by three Jupiter engines with their pistons
removed that would somehow function as turbines and produce streams of jet exhaust that would propel the car to a new
speed record.

The car was constructed on a Voisin chassis and driven around powered by the Voisin sleeve-valve engine, but no evidence
exists the Jupiters were ever installed. It caught fire and burned up on a beach run.

What a remarkable machine!  Slip a model of that into any competition and one  would  be accused of creating a Whiff-on-wheels!

Something out of "The Great Race" movie...

Magnificent!

I've started this evening .

Instead of complete changing of the 262 i will keep it in the standard konfiguration and direction .

Engines are from a simple kit , not very good , but in the right size .

Tail must be changed , wings are together .

This comes as a one seater !

All main parts are together,
glue need time for drying  .

Things and stuff , yeah

I like this cause it will a real surprise when it starts to come together 😉 ☺️

Yeees.... Really confusing, and those markings for cuts on the fuselage... Will the green parts be used to lenghten the fuselage?

[Dizzyfugu]

I suppose there will be a radial (maybe with an integrated prop blended as a ring into the hull?) in front of and behind the cockpit, so that a round fuselage diameter become necessary? 
Not certain about the large Bullpup, though.
