A bit like the performance you might get if you took a sailplane, chopped of half it's wings and stuck a small turbojet on it. Bede BD5J inspiration?
Yes as a ten year old kid I built the Lindbergh 1/72nd. Scale kit HE 162 & wondered why would anyone build such a small low cost fighter and now I understand that...."when you ain't got nothing" u get creative 👍
For those interested the he 162 was able to get two kills both tempest Vs in May 1945 just before the war ended. One severe loss in action was when two he 162s were scrambled to intercept 8 tempest Vs strafing the airfield. The pilot in the he 162 tried to do an aggressive 360 turn and actually outturnwd the tempest but then the he 162 fell over lost power upside down and the pilot ejected himself at low altitude straight into the ground! Ouch!!!!
Got to study one close up back in the early ‘80s, I was serving in the R.A.F. and the base I was posted to had a small museum section, one of the exhibits was an He-162, I think it eventually ended up in the museum at Cosford.
I'm pretty sure that Salamander is now at Hendon, because it is the one missing it's ejector seat. I didn't nick it, did you? I was a 16 year old air cadet in 1984 and I remember looking at the cockpit instrumentation and thinking the gliders I'd just solo'ed had only slightly less instruments (fuel and engine data being the extra dials) The mad nazi plan was Hitler Youth could fly these planes. I think if I'd been a Nazi air cadet, and I've probably been up for it too! I loved the ATC and I particularly loved RAF St Athan Camp. Good food, good accommodation and flying and gliding until we were sick of it, and Tenby, The Welsh Ibiza down the road! I remember all the billet blocks had Welsh names too. And Nerys. A 16 yr old blonde pad brat with a lovely arse who I had a knee trembler with round the back of the NAAFI.
@@PORRRIDGE_GUN I worked part time on the Museum Flight back in the early eighties, I believe the collection was dispersed to other locations in the early nineties when they announced the closure of St Athan as an Air Force base, it was a unique collection, apart from the 162 they had a two seat Fw-190, a Japanese Ki-46 Dinah recce aircraft and WB188 the prototype Hunter that was later used to break the world air speed record.
I believe the slave labourer's building them used to piss in the glue pots which meant the glue never properly cured. Also the correct glue was unavailable as the Allies had bombed flat the only factory in Germany still producing it, Tego Film, made by Goldmann AG in 1943. The Heinkel had to use an inferior erzatz replacement. Ironically, the factory was target marked with flares dropped by De Haviland DH98 Mosquitos in one of the first Oboe-equipped blind bombing raids. The Mosquito was also built of plywood and glued together using Aerolite. a chemically similar glue.
As many have already said great video. IMO the only downer is the over powering music, which n places especially towards the end tended to drown out the commentary......

Once upon a time (1991) I flew the He-162 Volksjaeger in LucasArts' "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe." As with previous LucasArts releases, "BattleHawks 1942" and "The Battle of Britain," the pixel-based aircraft and tracers left something to be desired. (The "IL-2 Sturmovik" series is many times better in detail and combat flight simulation, by comparison.) As the author has said, this aircraft was "too little, too late."
I had the Battlehawks and Battle of Britain games, and at the time the graphics were excellent. I never got the SWoL game because it was only issued on CD and I didn't have a CD-ROM at the time.
Aaaah......You bring back some fond memories for me. BOB and SWOTL were two of my favourite games to play, and they also had fantastic manuals, like small books. Graphics were par for the course at that time and very little in the way of visual scenery but they had great gameplay. I would frequently find myself flying the Me262 or the Gotha flying wing and yelling out “Gott Himmel, these Englanders fight like madmen!” The He162 must have been in the expansion pack that I didn’t have. Ah great times
Such a pretty plane and beautiful art work. Glad the Typhoon pilot survived. Pictures showing destroyed German aircraft poses the question, what happened to those incredible engines? How many were secreted away? I'd hate to think they went to scrap.
It was an aerodynamic masterpiece when the prototype did 562 mph it shocked luftwaffe officials and the second generation of 162's would have been dramatically better with swept wings and a v tail plus an engine (heinkel-hirth HS011) with 50% more power.
Well, since they actually managed to get some reliability out of the Jumo 004, i would say that the wings are the first to come of (well to be specific, they'll come of when you try an overenthusiastic roll maneuver ;D).
@@mandernachluca3774 looking at some of these aircraft on display now, some had quite a handful of flights which was to say some of the slave labor were being diligent with their job while others were purposely responsible for their crashes due to sabotage.
Actually, the Heinkel He-219 Uhu was first production aircraft to have ejection seats installed from it's introduction (from early1943 onwards) *and* used in combat. Going back even further still, we find the He-280 jet prototypes to be the very first pre-production aircraft made anywhere, of any quantity, to be fitted with an ejection seat. Cheers! PS: To the Video author: Cool video about an interesting airplane! :)
The Do335 never reached series production so the He162 was the first in service aircraft with an ejection seat. I can't remember exactly which one or ones (it should not be hard to look it up) but I do not think it was even the first development project to include an ejection seat. The Heinkel 219 Uhu springs to mind. Yee Haa
Also consider what would happen to the pilot if he ejected. Pop ... .and into the engine he goes. Sure, the explosive cartridge was supposed to thrust the pilot clear of the engine - but were there any lucky "volunteers" to test it in actual flight?
The He-162's cruising airspeed was 520 mph and a top speed of over 560 mph made the aircraft invulnerable to a rearward attack by any Allied fighters in service during WW2.
The Dornier Do335 had ejection seat..., was not built in the same numbers tho. I think Heinkel did have a headstart with 162 (Bfw did with the 109.., problably).

Was it politics or simple performance. It's not perfectly clear; most competitors thought Messerschmidt had unfair advantages, yet he himself thought he'd been unappreciated. The Luftwaffe was a labyrinth of personalities, between Goering, Milch, Udet, etc.
And the UK used the cockpit and nose design of the He162 as a template for later development. (look at the nose of the Hawker Hunter and tell me they're not similar!)

The British test pilots comments make no sense at all if true. By saying this plane has the lightest most aerodynamically effective controls on any aircraft he has flown but it's difficult to handle is like saying this car has great power steering but it handles like a pice of crap. It sounds more like the designers made some technical breakthroughs with power assisted controls but the plane had major design flaws to me. Another WHAT IF the Germans did this video.
Some people would describe it as being to sensitive to control inputs. In that case you have at your command huge ranges of input that to a new pilot may be too much of a first powered aircraft. The tendency would be to over correct on adjustments to your flight attitudes which can result in exceeding the structural capabilities of the airframe.

It's a testament to, not waste anything & use whatever you have to keep going....
My favorite 'axis' plane of all time. Such a unique design. Looks like a frog with a jetpack on it's back..
Probably, that's the reason why this plane other name was "Salamander", who knows...?!?
To me, it looks like a dolphin.
The sad thing is, that this german technological superiority was one of the major reasons for this war.
Same here I love the design.
Me 162 is nice. My favorite WWII
plane is the Me 262.
I allways loved this aircraft. Lets build a new flying one.
Even today it looks modern, and it went from drawing board to plane in 90 days i believe.

Lindbergh made a 1/72 model. Cost about 5 bucks in the late 70's.
Not forgotten. Never forgotten.
If the Henschel HeS 011 & HeS 012 engines hit mass production earlier, this aircraft could have become legendary.
I have a feeling Aeromodeller magazine published a piece about this plane complete with plan and elevation around 1947.

Post war American aircraft design was heavily influenced amd dominated by both Operations Lusty and Paper Clip.
Maybe because it was captured?
German glue technology was put back, because their best glue factory was destroyed in a bombing raid. The factory wasn't even the intended target.

And the UK used the cockpit and nose design of the He162 as a template for later development. (look at the nose of the Hawker Hunter and tell me they're not similar!)
So this is the first aircraft that had an ejection seat? It should have been the last. You eject and get sucked right into the jet engine!
