Hail Hydra!
Designed in WWII by the evil HYDRA organization, these parasite fighters/suicide bombers were meant to be carried by the giant Valkyrie flying wing. They doubled as auxiliary propellers, and when needed, would be dropped, to "Decimate every hostile capitol on earth" - Johann Schmidt

@ZwillingerLuftfox46 In my opinion, I do not believe that would even be able to function without the nose. Either the fuel is in the nose and the jets lose their fuel source, or the fuel is in the wings or tail section, and either way losing the nose would mean losing the bomb's weight, which would result in all the weight being at the tail, likely putting the CoM behind the CoL, and I think we all know what happens then.

Actually, I found this picture, which seems to be a Hydra parasite in the colors of the Luftwaffe. It seems to me to be a “what if Hydra stayed with Germany” Alternate plotline. Considering that it bears Luftwaffe markings, it is almost certain that this variant would have the nose detach, as Luftwaffe markings were not permitted on suicide aircraft. All of the suicide aircraft designed for the Luftwaffe where rejected because they did not want to lose their pilots, and so is there was a method for having them escaped safely they would have certainly taken it.
@ThePilotDude
Yeah. It would be nice if this aircraft could detach its nose section in that method.
@ZwillingerLuftfox46 I'd assume with reasonable certainty that Zola would've designed the plane in secret, per Red Skull's orders, separate from any Luftwaffe orders
@ThePilotDude
However, if this aircraft had been designed by an aircraft company working directly with the Luftwaffe, like say, Focke-Wulf, (which it probably who it would have been designed by considering that the propulsion system is the same as the one on the Focke-Wulf Triebflugel), then it would probably be certain that the aircraft was designed to detach the nose section and have the rest of the plane fly off safely.
@ThePilotDude Your right. Red Skull was departing from Germany and Wehrmacht policy, which was against suicide aircraft. That's why the Fi-103R, Daimler-Benz Projekt F, and Daimler-Benz Projekt E all had ejection methods, even though these would have unlikely to work successfully, and pilots of the former had to sign a paper saying that they knew there mission was suicidal.
@ZwillingerLuftfox46 yeah I've noticed that, and added a line where it is, made that assumption,but, having no sources on whether it detaches or not, I made it a kamikaze fighter, which seems more like Hydra philosophy anyways, as Red Skull said, "There are always more workers"
@ThePilotDude
On the pictures that I've seen of the aircraft, there's always a seam between the nose of the aircraft where the bomb is, and the tail of the aircraft where the pilot and propeller is. Not only that, but there are fins on said seam. Anyone else thinks that means that the aircraft was not designed to be a Kamikaze aircraft, but instead was supposed to have the nose detach from the rest of the plane so that the pilot could return safely to the valkyrie? This method would be beneficial in the fact that it would preserve the life of the pilot, and it would allow the wings, engines, propeller and cockpit to be reused by simply attaching another nose to the aircraft.
Someone needs to make The Valkyrie
PLEASE!!!!!
@ThePilotDude will I think it was worth it. Awesome job!!
@CrazyCatZe Well, the movie version wasn't a VTOL, but that would've been a good idea
@dogb23boy This took me a couple of days
Why not a VTOL?
I tried making this a long time ago. I just couldn’t get the rotating jets right. Good job!
ThePilotDude make it so its a sea plane a boat and a plane. so you can also land it.
but other than that it is a well moded and i think you did a very good job. just wondering how long did this take?
@Mumpsy thanks!
Very cool!
