History:
The German Institute for Sailplane Flight (Deutsche Forschungsalstalt für Segelflug or DFS) promised to meet the RLM's need for an uninterceptable reconnaissance aircraft with this remarkable rocket-powered sailplane, which was a true ancestor of the Lockheed U-2. Shelved from 1940 through early 1943 due to pressure for other work, the 228 was resurrected and two prototypes completed in 1943. The 228 was made almost entirely of wood, with a pressurized metal nose compartment that could be jettisoned in an emergency and recovered by parachute. The mid-fuselage housed rocket propellants (C-Stoff and T-Stoff) and two Zeiss infrared camera. By the time Allied troops reached Griesham, many glide test flights has been made after launches from a specially prepared D0 217 K3, but none under power. Although designed for altitudes approaching 80,000 feet, no glide flight went above the 33,000 feet launch altitude.

@Max134y70 I am thinking of making the plow myself, there is only 1 well done but a good pc is required, maybe I will create my own and make the V-4 version in addition to the normal one
Hello, I would like you to do something related to the Arado ar 234 jet bomber, how do you do versions of the plane itself? Goodbye.
I love planes that look like they are made of cardboard lol
