Italy's jet powered fighter
Вставка

- When we think about axis' jets, the first nation that comes to our mind is Germany with its Me-262 and then, Japan who had mostly imported the technologies of the Third Reich. However, this second place should be occupied by the nation that is not thought of at all. Italy, indeed, being the second nation to have flown a jet plane (before the United Kingdom). It developed its own jet engine technology development program without having to copy or even draw inspiration from its European ally. A program that could not succeed because the war had ended earlier for the kingdom and this by very little because an aircraft with this mode of propulsion was almost complete at the time of the capitulation. Designed by the originator of jet engines in Italy, Secondo Campini, it is the Caproni Ca.183bis.

I never knew about this aircraft. Well done. I was aware of the Campini-Caproni quasi-jet. I even have a model kit of one. Not built yet. [I was thinking of a fictional North African theater camouflage with the white fuselage stripe, and adding MGs and rockets... Just for fun.] If you won't mind constructive criticism, HP stands for Horse Power and, when speaking, sounds better in long form. Same with MK, which stands for Mark. Abbreviations are needed when taking notes, but are best spoken out loud in a presentation.
Thanks for your help, I made this video at a moment when I was not really paying that much attention to those details.
The FIAT G-55 Fighter, and the Macchi 205 were two of the absolute finest 👌 Fighter/Interceptors or WW2!! Any questions??
When I first viewed the video is was showing black with flashes of images. It's working just fine now. Excellent work on a rare gem! Bella!
Glad to hear this, thanks a lot 🙂
Great video 👍
Thanks 🙂
@@F-14DTomcat be great for a video on Japanese glider aircraft or transports of ww2
Got it, it some futur videos, I'll cover these.
I also want to remember the Campini CS.10 project
The video does not seem to be showing, thanks for a fascinating topic!
There is a technical problem with the video?
@@F-14DTomcat it's working fine now. It was only showing a black screen earlier. A superb piece of work. Thank you! Bella!
I love this channel so much you always find amazing topics, id love to see you cover the Mitsubishi Ki 167
I love your comment so much 😀. Concerning the Ki-167, you gave me an amazing idea, I will surely do it, just not immediately because I am already working on some other projects.
I would definitely subscribe and continue to watch this channel so that I can expand my Ww2 Secret Aircraft knowledge. Your videos are excellent!
Thanks a lot :) Don't worry there A LOOOOOT of upcoming videos on planes I am sure nearly nobody heard about.
@@F-14DTomcatI will definitely be excited when your new videos to come out!
Very cool jet I would love to fly it in War Thunder.
Yes this would be amazing as a premium fighter or for an event.
I am very curious: a single engine for counter rotating propellers?
Yes, it is also the case for the Tu-95 but I don't know exactly how it does work.
The Fascist Italian air force 👌 was the absolute first to fly a jet aircraft cross country!! August, 1940!!
Sorry, as and italian I have to admit that germans managed to make one jet airplane fly just some days before in the highest secret.
A very interesting aircraft. A quick Google check shows no model kits of the Ca.183 at this time. (Though at least one modeler built one by extensively converting a Unicraft MiG-7.)
As for the Caproni Campini N1, Valom offers one in 1/72 scale since 2013. In addition, the old Delta 2 kit from Italy made in1974 may still be found online for a reasonable price. Though not as detailed as the newer Valom kit, the Delta 2 kit has appeal to those of us "of a certain age."
Sadly, this aircraft (and the N1) don't get the attention they are due. This aircraft was made long before modern CAD in the time when an engineer had an idea, an actual working prototype had to be made to see if the idea lived up to its potential. Though ultimately the thermojet was a dead-end, Italian aeronautical engineers deserve recognition for exploring this method of propulsion.
6th like.
Indeed, Italian plane engineers were better than most people imagine. Plus, if the war lasted longer, Italy could also have its jet fighters like the Me-262 because they had a project named C.C.10 which was a a kind of Italian Gloster Meteor but of course not at all a copy because its propulsion was very different from other jet fighters of the was. So it is sad that Italian plane engineering got so few interest.
PS: Thanks for the like :)
@@F-14DTomcat I have the Valom N1 kit in my stash, waiting to be built. This one comes with hypothetical markings and is carrying a torpedo, so I got it for a better price than the Delta 2 kit from my Junior High School days. (That said, I plan to build it in its actual markings.) Though better detailed (especially the cockpit) it might have been fun to find and build the Delta 2 kit, detailing it with scratch built details. (But using online sources for reference.) I suspect most of these old-school N 1 kits are sought after by Italian modelers "of a certain age." They are hard to find in America.
Well, you are very lucky to have all these models because here in France, it is nearly impossible to find planes, even toys, But at last, I can find amazing things on Amazon or eBay.
@@F-14DTomcat When I was in Junior High school through college, the local hobby shops had a large selection of model kits from Heller that were made in France. Lately, I've seen some Heller kits on the shelves, but not too many. Is Heller still in business, or have they scaled back?
Heller is still in the Business but the only places where I found their models was in a toy shop maximum 10 years old kids (which is kind of strange) and there was a very limited variety of models which were the most common like the Concorde or B747 and some cars. So, I would say that they are kind of slowing down or maybe making sales only online.
