A great "Luft 46" website

Just wanted to share this link, as I couldn’t find it when i searched the forum.

Maybe a lot of you already know it, but for those that dont, I think its worth posting here.

Artist impressions of how German project aircraft (some were actually build and tested) would have looked in service.

I would love to see how a simmilar allied website would look. Naturally only how the allied would have designed their aircraft, without access to the German research work they got after the war.

Anybody got pictures of allied designs (late war projects or tests)?

Ok, in keeping with the above wish regarding allied projects, I bring you the Gloster E.28/39.

Not the most fortunate aircraft when it comes to sleek aerodynamics and
quite a far cry from the advanced German designs.

German designers had the ability to make auxiliary fins look sexy. On the Gloster E.28/39
they just look like a late design feature to correct an earlier design flaw (which ofcause they were).
