Lockheed L-133 "Starjet"

30.0k Dumpworks  6.5 years ago

This aircraft is not very well known but technically this is the first jet aircraft ever developed, this aircraft was designed well before Pearl Harbor just as a furthering of American fighter aircraft, but with no warning the aircraft was cancelled, soon after Germany tested it's own jet powered aircraft, America would then refer to work done on this aircraft to create it's first actual jet aircraft the Lockheed P-80, if he L-133 was allowed to be developed and built it would have been more than a match for the Messerschmitt's Me-262, the only remnant of this aircraft is a single prototype engine, a L-1000 engine, on display in the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California

    Looks ok, but could use some editing
    1. The main wings arnt as blended with the fuselage as they where designed
    2. The elevators and cockpit are a bit too far forward
