ME-163(Deutsche Kaiserreich colors)

165 Boccher  3.6 years ago

HISTORICAL STUFF:
The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet is a German rocket-powered point-defence interceptor aircraft. Designed by Alexander Lippisch, it is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have been operational and the first piloted aircraft of any type to exceed 1000 km/h (621 mph) in level flight. Its performance and aspects of its design were unprecedented. German test pilot Heini Dittmar in early July 1944 reached 1,130 km/h (700 mph), an unofficial flight airspeed record unmatched by turbojet-powered aircraft for almost a decade. Over 300 Komets were built, but the aircraft proved lackluster in its dedicated role as an interceptor and destroyed between 9 and 18 Allied aircraft against 10 losses. Aside from combat losses many pilots were killed during testing and training NOTE:when taking off dont put the power up to 100% because if you do the plane will be too unstable to control CONTROLS: pitch,yaw etc.

    @BurkeAircraft1 Oh. But, it needs to be stealth to enter the challenge. It doesn't look stealthy at all.
