Description


This is the second in my work on an alternate history series of aircraft prototypes. My idea for this concept borrowed heavily from features of the venerable Ju-87 Stuka Dive Bomber, which was already becoming outdated at the start of WW2. Had pusher-prop type aircraft gone into development, I could see a design like this coming in to replace the older aircraft in a Ground Attack/Dive Bombing role. Again it's my own concept based on features of a real-world aircraft... and I'm hoping it's a reasonable alternative for a "what-if" type scenario... I've armed it with internal 20mm cannon in the wings, and a pair of 37mm Flak cannon on pylon mounts for anti-tank work... It's powered by a Daimler Db-603 v16 in-line fuel injected engine driving twin counter-rotating props... Modeled in Hexagon Rendered in Daz Studio 2.3

interesting concept, the back is in the front, the front is in the back. I think the tail in the middle of the "V" wing can break the balance

That was a problem some of the actual WW2 proto-types had... severe instability in flight due to issues with centre of balance and aerodynamics... It was eventually over-come in the Japanse Shinden proto-types... but they were cancelled due to wars end before production could begin...

Has the rear gunner any chance to shoot anything except for the own propeller? The Germans experimented a lot with remotely controlled turrets and periscopes - maybe they would even have placed a turret in the spinner. WIL

LOl... probably not... if he was shooting straight to the rear... but he can still shoot above and to the sides of the prop... but even in a normal aircraft the rear gunner is restricted on his shooting angles due to the tail of the aircraft... and incidentals such as antena wires... In WW1 the used an interupter gear to prevent the guns from hitting the props so it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that such a device could be set up here as well... :)

Hey, if the gunner wanted "out", was there a big red button where he could ejected the pilot's end of the plane and fly home himself..;-) Accepting it might come a cropper in real life it looks so "out there" that it claims a certain... legitimacy. On the question of "centre of balance" I wonder how Herman Goering would have coped?
