Me-262 and derivatives

[Mossie]

Now that makes for a very different look.

And lets not forget the high speed torpedo bomber:

That torpedo ship is too cool Greg,

Methinks you're gonna have to start colouring these.

Of course DB605s weren't the only engines trialed:

I would stick with the tricycle u/c and have the mains in the engine nacelles for prop to ground clearance.

Going the other way - what if the jets never quite made it - could the Me-262 have been put into service with piston engines?



It's crude I know.

Most likely it would not have had the swept wing.

Trike gear is a maybe.

Where are the radiators?

Already planned - I figure the first tail dragger version was a prototype.

I've left the swept wing - If I recall, it was there just as much for weight & balance as anything else.

Long, stalky tricycle gear was planned.

Radiators are between the engines.

Yet another engine trial:

The 18.5 degree sweep was introduced on the outer panels of an originally straight wing to shift the center of lift because the Jumo turbojet came in heavier than expected. The DBs are not mounted in the same position or fashion as the Jumo so the weight and balance would be completely different. The swept outer panels of the Me 210 turned out to be the source of some of its problems, thus the redesign on the 410.

Maybe 410 style wings/engine installation/landing gear on a 262 fuselage? It would work best for the forward cockpit heavy-fighter and schnellbomber designs.

I particularly like the Jagtfaust bomber destroyer variant with the Schrage Musik style rocket instalation in the nose.

Hi Greg(GTX),

Your designs are really inspiring

[Mossie]

I don't see the point of it at all - you get less rate of fire than with 4 30mm cannon and why fit it onto a two seater in the first place?

Better off with the stretched fuselage of the Me 262B-2a but with the single seat cockpit nose of the Me 262 Schnellbomber proposal, with two 30mm MK 213 aft.  The stretch would accommodate a lot of fuel and more ammo.

That's probably the reason, you'd be able to fit rockets in without a stretch & adding more weight & structure.  The weight of the rockets would be less than four 30mm too.

[jcf]

I don't believe that those are rockets, it may be a misinterpretation of the 30mm SG 116 recoilless system, or I suppose he could be showing a battery of 77mm SG 113, but that would make the aircraft exceedingly nose heavy.
