Must be that new math? Because I only see you listing two.. 1) Jet engines 2) Swept wings As for Jet engines.. The Brits and US had there own designs that were in service before the end of WWII.. So not sure how that would be considered as a design aspect of the Me262 that was used in later fighters As for swept wings.. As noted the swept wings of the Me262 were to correct the cg.. So not sure how that would be considered as a design aspect of the Me262 that was used in later fighters Quote:
1st the SR71 is not a FIGHTER 2nd the engines are mounted inside the wing, not under the wings in pods So maybe you missed the part where I was talking about the Me262 being a dead end design.. In that you would be HARD PRESSED to find any post war FIGHTERS that mounted the engines under the wings in pods.. And note that I stated you would and could find bombers with engines mounted under the wings in pods Which by the way, the engines being mounted under the wings in pod was the ONE aspect of the Me262 that was truly it's own 'thing'! And not used in post war jet fighter designs.. I won't say none, in that I seem to recall someone posting a pic of a post war Russian jet fighter that may have had engine pods under the wings.. But as we all know, in the jet engine race, the Russians were the farthest behind which is why they copied not only the German jet engines but the Britt jet engines

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on. Last edited by ACE-OF-ACES; 05-28-2012 at 08:12 PM. |
