    ATTENTION, LOTS OF TEXT!
    Hello, I just wanted to say that I loved this design. However, there are a few changes I would make to this model, the main one being no pressurization.
    Now, I admire your idea of making an aircraft that would be safer for the crew, so they wouldn't have to face -50°C cold, but there are three, maybe four, problems with that: the cost(the b-29 cost 3 billions of dollars for the program alone), the production line, the weight because of the pressurization and last but not least the German insistence(jets).
    However, not everything is super negative reviews, far from it, I know this is just a "simplified" model, there are still things I would like to improve the aircraft's capabilities. The towers would be a twin 20mm to wreck anny german fighter, regardless they size or speed. The engines could have a interesting design that it was used in the fw 190 that's the use of a fan between the propeller and engine which would allowed to hide the air intakes above the engine(there's a channel named Greg that explain it better than me) and there's some minor improve such a nose upper bubble for star navigation, like that one in the b-17, a bomb bay door similar to the b-24(because it has less drag), some windows behind the cockpit for radio operator and fly engineer to look at the engines, air filters, fuel injection if u are crazy and the fw 190 nose to make it look cool
    Overall this it's just my opinion, in the end i not even a aeronatic engineer so u can ignore with you want( just don't attack please😢), i just a boy that love warbirds, and some heavy ones, it's your plane so do the way u prefer.
    Try make a fighter that can also be used by the navy, or just for the navy😅

    Strategic bombing IS terror bombing. One of the biggest strategic advantages of strategic bombing was intended to be the diminishing of enemy morale, so that can't be a key difference. Terror bombing was just a propaganda term invented during WW2 to galvanise support from civilians and sew negative sentiments towards the enemy.

      Debatable as strategic bombing ostensibly intends to only target military targets with the intent of removing the enemys ability to use or produce military assets... But the accuracy of such mass bombing campaigns effectively makes such distinctions moot if not meaningless especially with the use of incendiary weapons.

      Actually, the allied calculus behind the logic of strategic bombing in Europe was that a mathematics model found out that Axis industrial capacity could be crippled by making people homeless by bombing them. Breaking morale was more of a side effect than the main purpose.
      The german bombings of Britain would be terror bombings, since they targeted morale

  • @uku4171
    @uku4171 4 місяці тому +2

    The difference between terror bombing and regular strategic bombing isn't the amount of non-combatant casualties. It's the motivation/goal of the mission. Aka the way by which it's supposed to negatively affect the enemy.
    If the goal of a bombing is to destroy manufacturing capabilities or logistics hubs, then the targets are usually civilians, since workers in munitions factories or train stations for example are usually civilians. That's not terror bombing.
    What makes something terror bombing is if the goal is to negatively affect people's morale, not strategic capabilities. The bombing of Dresden was not terror bombing. It was bombed for its strategic value. It didn't have much value for terror bombing, since its bombing was only used as propaganda by the Germans, thus raising morale, not lowering it.
    On the other hand, Hiroshima and Nagasaki could arguably be considered as terror bombings, even though they had significant military value. This is because although the targets were chosen by their military and strategic value, the intended effect was to shock the Japanese into surrendering. It would've been much cheaper to just firebomb the cities as they had done with many others, but a single bomb glassing almost an entire city has much more of a shock value.

    The B-17 is probably one of the most famous aircraft hydraulic systems, because at the time it was introduced it has one of the largest and heaviest elevator surfaces of any plane. And the rudder was even bigger, it didn't matter how strong you were, even on the ground with no airflow moving that giant surface was hard, at altitude and speed it would have been nigh impossible, and for some maneuvers both pilots were required to manually yank on the system and force it to obey.

    Strategic bombing is targeting industry and infrastructure targets although the reason that a lot of civilians died was because there were very few "Smart Bombs" during WWII. The B-29 was introduced in 1942. WWII bombers didn't have radar. The combatants during WWII used Turbo superchargers as well as various assists (ie 50/50 Methanol/water mixture or the German GM-1 superpower device using nitrous oxide fuel injection). Oboe was RDF rather than radar although the British did develop aircraft radar, it was used exclusively in night fighters.

    about forced induction and intercooling, heat from the exhaust gases have little effect on manifold pressure, as they do not come into contact with the impellor wheel of the turbo.
    Must heat in relation to turbocharging comes from physically compressing the air. Compressing air increases its heat as its the same thermal energy in a smaller space. "Heat soak," while certainly not completely negligible, is quite small.

    High altitude flight can be faster, making it difficult to intercept by night fighters (a complicated operation involving a guidance station) and be invulnerable to flak fire.
    A night bomber should have trade-offs other than the lack of turbochargers - first of all, it should eliminate defensive gunnery (except perhaps the tail), which reduces drag and allows for an increased bomb load.
    And of course, reduce losses when shot down. It seems quite possible to reduce the crew to 2 people (3 in the case of a tail turret).

    One thing to note is that the americans at the start of the bombing aimed for military targets and factories, often near cities, so they bombed during the day for more acurate bombing. The british bombed at night using area bombing, hitting cities just as the germans did in the battle of britain. Towards the end of the war, the american bomvers did aim for civilian cities.

I can draw and make blueprints extremely well its just the execution into flyout, I’m dogwater.

    Another added advantage of night bombing is that civilians tend to be asleep and therefore have a harder time getting to bomb shelters, leading to an "increased strategic value" per raid.

    Great plane

    1) the biggest risk for bombers over Germany were fighters, not flack... 2) especially for night bombers, they did a study regarding defensive armament during the war... They came to the conclusion that it would be optimal if Lancaster gave up all machine guns :) thanks this would make it possible to significantly speed up these machines, and at the same time they could carry a heavier bomb load, so for a given number of bombs on targets, the British would lose fewer machines and, above all, significantly fewer crew members. In the end, they decided to keep the gunner primarily for reasons of the morale of the soldiers, and also because it would be a highly controversial decision... 3) but good work, you can see that you put a lot of effort and energy into those designs

      Yeah but the drag and weight induced from even one fin wouldn’t be worth vs just keeping it flat.

  • @redactedredacted4080
    @redactedredacted4080 6 місяців тому

    Figured out a reason why they would have the expensive engines and such. It’s because a good portion of the raid would happen at during the day. They reached Germany. It would still be there be barely light or just had sunset so there’s a chance that they might encounter patrolling fighters in route.
    Something I think you need is a World War II Maritime strike aircraft. I mean your island is well in Ireland. It lives dies by the world’s oceans so American strike, and patrol aircraft would be needed.
