[About Henschel Hs P.75]


*Trop version is here

The Henschel Hs P.75 was a fighter designed by Henschel for the German Luftwaffe during World War II.The Hs P.75 was intended to be a heavy fighter to replace the Me-110.
The Hs P.75 was a very pioneering and ambitious fighter design.
The wings were in an ente configuration, combining a tail wing with a recessed angle of attack and a wide delta wing. The wings were smoothly and seamlessly connected to the fuselage. This was a precursor to the blended wing body seen on modern fighter planes. The fuselage had a flat cross section, and in the middle was to be mounted the DB613 engine, which was a combination of two water-cooled DB603 engines in parallel and was to deliver 3,700 horsepower. From the engine, a propeller shaft extended to the aft end of the fuselage, beyond which a propulsive contra-rotating propellers was arranged. The vertical tail fin extended down from the fuselage to prevent the propellers from touching the ground during takeoff and landing. The propeller arrangement allowed the nose of the plane to be heavily armed, and four 30mm caliber MK108 machine guns were planned to be installed.
However, the development of the Hs P.75 did not go ahead, perhaps because of its ambitious design. It is said that the Luftwaffe did not approve of the rear propeller arrangement. In any case, development did not proceed, and the prototype was not completed before the end of the war.

[About the work]
This piece was created to participate in the WinsWings "Pusher Aircraft Challenge".
In participating in the Challenge, I had a difficult time selecting which model to create. While researching for a push-prop fighter, I learned about this fascinating plane, the Hs P.75.
In creating this model, I had a hard time because of the lack of drawings, photos, and other materials. After all, the actual aircraft was never built. I used the drawings from the following website as a reference.
·Luft '46 - HENSCHEL - Henschel Hs P.75
http://www.luft46.com/henschel/hsp75.html
Of course, since there was no actual aircraft, the cockpit was completely based on my imagination, and I created it roughly.
I have not verified this because I do not have Simple Planes VR. Sorry.

    Yes, sorry dear friend. I was just wondering, it’s for a build i was planning heh, we hoping you’d have an answer. I understand that Ouka and Toka are outdated to say the least, it’s for a Second World War build, however. @AntonWings

    @Jaspy190
    You ask a strange question....totally unrelated to this piece....
    But I will answer it. However, I am neither a language expert nor a flower expert. I will answer only as a personal opinion.
    As far as I know, there are no abbreviations in the Japanese translation of azalea flowers. Azalea flowers are called "ツツジの花(tsutsujinohana)" in Japanese.
    Incidentally, the abbreviations "ouka" and "toka" that you gave as examples are rarely used by modern Japanese in daily conversation.

    Hello, old friend. Considering you are a Japanese speaker, and citizen, I was wondering if you'd know the shortened term for Azalea Blossom. I understand that it translates to Tsutsusi no hana/ツツジの花, but I was wondering if it has a shortened translation, like how Cherry Blossom has Ōka, or Wisteria Blossom has Tōka. Im sorry if this is confusing.

    @ThomasRoderick Officially a PhD now. I am planning to build an F-15E with S/MTD modifications to test some of the adaptive algorithms I will develop.

    Thanks for the comment. My work was made possible because of the current version of SP, which has more features such as slicing the fuselage, etc. You are amazing for making such a beautiful Hs P.75 four years ago.

    Nice! Great to see you upload again! If I may, I'd like to suggest the Ki-84, in one of its homeland defense liveries. Specifically, Ki-84 Ko from the 3rd Chutai of the 47th Sentai
