Many, many, many, many thanks to @BodganX who helped with making this awesome bird fly like a charm (he essentially made it fly and stable).
Designed by Kurt Tank most probably close to early 1945, this fighter featured an unusual placement of its engines. The two Pabst ramjets were placed at the tips of the sharply swept tailplanes to that there would be no interference whatsoever with the main fuselage. Armament was provided by two 30 mm MK108 autocannons.
Not much is known about it except the piece of information provided above.
The flaps (which work like air brakes) are linked to VTOL.
Besides the two guns you also get two air-to-ground rockets (AG 1 and 2). Much of its performance sheet was a lot of guesswork. I took most of the Me 262 stats as the basis and improved some of them (like decreased weight and increased top speed). Just as I said, it handles great.

I agree. @Awsomur
Really cool! Not that I support the government, but the Swastika is excellently made.
Yeah but the german being the mad geniuses they were would have figure out how to make it fly @PhantomBladeCorp
@Shmexysmpilot "Yaw is inverted"
starts to whistle
Cool. Yaw is inverted for some reason but I really liked how it looks!
yeah i noticed the stabilizing engine in the middle earlier if thats what u mean :)
@AnonyMoose @ThePrototype It wouldn't fly at all. It was simply a concept. Basically, the engines, being placed at the rear, do benefit from having little drag but, at the same time, heavily imbalance the aircraft. Their sheer weight causes the COM to exit the aircraft and be somewhere close to the main tail fin (basically the vert stab).
I recommend you disassemble this one and take a closer look at it. You'll have quite a big surprise :)
Reall cool.. Youd think it would go a little faster with those massive engines though?
Nice ta-283 and also I'm trying to Build one and also do you think if the actual plane was built do you think it might could have gone supersonic ?
@BogdanX The end result :)
I must thank you for helping me out sorting the problems with its dynamics and such. Big package coming to you ;)
