Luft'46 Art Aircraft Series No.13

Lippisch Li P.13a

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.

How strange shape!
This is any more though P.170 was also strange.
It is almost a spaceship.
Though even the glider seems to have completed, Do it fly really?

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

This aircraft was a fighter that assumed it put on the speed at 1000 km/h or more with a ram jet engine.
For shape, It equips with a large-scale delta wing that draws a triangle, and the cockpit is built into the fin and rudder with the thickness.
Because some speed is necessary for the ram jet by the time thrust is obtained, It was scheduled to take off by using the rocket motor.
When glider DM-1 without the power of the full-scale completed, the end of the war was faced.



Dr. Alexander Lippisch designed this ramjet powered interceptor in late 1944, much of the research coming from his work on the DM-1 test glider (see below). The wings were sharply swept back at 60 degrees, and there was a single large fin and rudder in which the cockpit was located. The ramjet was fed by a circular intake that protruded from the nose, and exhausted beneath the vertical fin at the rear. Research in the DVL high-speed windtunnel indicated that the P.13a had outstanding stability up to the maximum tested speed of Mach 2.6, and no unfavorable characteristics in the subsonic range. A liquid fueled rocket motor was planned for takeoff and to get the aircraft to ramjet operating speed.Since fuel was in short supply by this stage in the war, powdered coal was to be used in the ramjet.

[ 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.
