I love picturing how newer models would've turned out looking if this practice had continued to be a practical concept. The idea of a double Star Fighter, a double Fighting Falcon, or a double Eagle just looks so funny in my mind.
What would of been the out come of the Battle of Britain if the Germans had carried on bombing the RAF airfields from which the frontline fighters flew and not switched to bombing London and the the 109 was not ordered to fly with the bombers to protect them over London and had remained as a quick attack fitter fit with a connon in nose whereas the Spitfire and Hurricane were fitted with machine guns.
The Brits probably before the Americans, just as much as the Germans poached Whittle’s ideas in 1934, kickstarting their (semi disastrous) turbojet. It goes both ways…
Except the crucial and life changing turbojet (April 1937). As you can listen from Von Ohain himself, who was clueless to the true benefits of jet propulsion, Frank Whittle was way ahead of him... ua-cam.com/video/BTk_8GCwuzk/v-deo.html It was a shame that A.A. Griffith, the person that penned a seminal paper on axial turbojets in 1926, a decade before Von Ohain even started working on his engine. Whittle, being the brilliant genius he was, realized that it would take decades to perfect an axial turbojet, hence he bypassed the axial compressor, enraging Griffith, who in turn made sure he would be ostracized, delayed, ridiculed, making Whittle lose at least 6 crucial years of development, yet he beat Von Ohain! What is even more interesting is that the later flight, powered by Von Ohain's engine (He 178) was mix powered, incorporating Whittle's invention from 1929. Being broke, Whittle could not renew his patent in 1934, and Germany quickly copied his invention, and distributed it across German Universities, conveniently landing in Von Ohain's desk, who later tried to deny what was obvious (but later conceded, and so did his assistant.) This is probably why Von Ohain credited Whittle as the inventor in his own book...
yeah…dorniers heavy fighter Ju… 😏 no by the time it was called Ju 365 it was a project at Junkers…and it was not planned as a fighter. it should have been a reconnaissance aircraft
Z or zed is in reference to zwilling which if you were paying attention you'd probably know that, and seeing how you weren't paying attention zwilling means twin😊

Winkle Brown - Absolute Legend
Always great to watch a documentary & learn new things, and in this case a great many.......great video thank's.

very nice work
The old German hi speed wind tunnel that the yanks stole

Germans has almost all " first " in aviation and rocket science...😮

too much repetition…😢
???
@PHOBOS1708 multiple engines/multiple airframes glued together
yeah…dorniers heavy fighter Ju… 😏
no by the time it was called Ju 365 it was a project at Junkers…and it was not planned as a fighter. it should have been a reconnaissance aircraft

Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat. :)
"Portable??" Really, you needed to say that? fk
"HAIL VICTORY " SOMEDAY🤣
You keep referring to these planes as Zed? Where do you come up with this name?? Is this some Brittish bs?
Nope. It’s the alphabet in English.
It's... English
