Rezunoids and Rezun is russian analogue of conspiracy theorists only their theories related to GPW . In West Rezun is known as Suvorov and in russia he known for:Aggresive autobahn tanks bullshit, IS-130 et cetera.I had to look up Rezunoidism, and I think I'l pass on finding out what klukwa means. It certainly is my understanding from decades of undocumented reading, that the upper echelon of the RNII underwent a Stalinist purge, with some executions, and that Korolev was taken to Lubyanka and tortured, sent to a gold mining camp, and confined to engineers' camp, sharashka, all of which seems counterproductive to the development of a rocket engine. I'm not sure where my mistake is.
A problem facing aircraft designers of the era was not weird supersonic physics but weird trans-sonic aerodynamics. Just as an aside, it took me hours of practice to be able to pronounce TsAGI, the whole name, properly in full. I mentioned it to my brother-in-law, who immediately repeated it perfectly, like a Russian. Talk about a piss-off.
Give it the turbine and tall rudder and it would look a bit like the Me-163 Komet.![]()
The Northrup XP-56. Which really should have had the I.16 turbine & a taller dorsal fin (or 2).
I've noticed that. It would've been safer. (With the pusher prop running, it was probably safer.Give it the turbine and tall rudder and it would look a bit like the Me-163 Komet.
Same here.I never get tired of this thread.
Even better still is the DC-8 Skybus:Even better is the XB-43 Jetmaster.
Messerschmitt Me-263.
I believe the Me-263 only made one flight and the pilot survived, your'e thinking of the Me-163.I think as many died flying it, as planes they shot down
That retractable undercarriage would vastly simplify ground operations.Messerschmitt Me-263.
