Luft'46 Art Aircraft Series No.12

Blohm & Voss BV P.170

by Kazunori Ito

*******************************************************************************

This aircraft is an completely unknown aircraft.
In the WWII end, it is one of the original bills of the aircraft development that a German air force planned.

I think that this is an especially strange aircraft in the aircraft that I made.
Can this fly really?
It is the first doubt point.
Can this bomb really?
It will not see ahead.

What do you think?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This fighter-bomber was designed by Dr. Vogt of Blohm und Voss in 1942, designer of the BV 141 and other asymmetric designs. Although the BV P.170 was of a symmetrical design, it was still unorthodox in appearance. The wing was of constant chord, and contained the ailerons and landing flaps, which were to be constructed of wood or a light metal. Three BMW 801D radial engines (rated at 1600 horsepower each) provided the power; each drove a three-bladed 3.5 m (11' 5") propeller. One engine was located on the front of the main fuselage, while the other two were mounted on wingtip gondolas, each with a single vertical fin and rudder located at the rear. Each engine gondola (including the center fuselage) contained a 2000 liter (528 gallon) fuel tank, which could only feed the engine ahead of it. The two outside engines rotated in opposite directions, to help cancel out excessive torque. The two man crew (pilot and radio operator/ observer/ bombadier) sat in a cockpit located in the extreme rear of the center fuselage, of which there were two main designs. A normal "tail-dragger" undercarriage was fitted, with the exception of there being three main landing gear legs (1015 x 380 mm wheels were to be fitted to each leg), one located just aft of each engine. Each main landing gear leg retracted to the rear into the engine nacelle or main fuselage. 2000 kg (4400 lbs.) of bombs could be carried in underwing mountings. The project's speed was thought to preclude interception, thus no defensive armament was to be fitted.

This aircraft was planned as a high speed bomber and the ground attack machine.
In shape, An extremely irregular composition in which three engines were laid out to a right and left aerofoil tip and the body was done.
And, High speed at 820 km/h was scheduled in the plan.
However, it seems that there is no lightness because this airframe is extreme front heavy.
Arms are not planned, and either only high speed in this airframe of the merit, It was likely to have been shot down surely if it downed speed to improve the hit accuracy of the bomb.
Therefore, the rate of returning alive of this aircraft might have been extremely low even if produced.
After all, the development of this aircraft ended only by submitting the plan.

[ About the directions point in FS2004 ]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9).
However........!!
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.
