Unlikely. If you read the inherent problems described on the wiki page, it would take an extremely brave person to go anywhere near the cockpit.
It certainly does not look like a winner.

Hess didˋt write ˋMein Kampf´ for shure….
Are you saying the austrian corporal was able to type too ?
Hess actually wrote the Mein Kampf as they were jailed. He was guilty.
Pretty tall story there. What would the rotor tip speed be at supersonic flight speed? And so successful it never entered service. It honestly sounds like it was a flying plague of problems.

It’s still never going to fly as fast or high as a jet at any rate.
I bet it could have easily gone supersonic in a modest dive.
The jet-engined plane will always have the advantage at the merge. And of course the prop-engined plane relies on the jet-engined plane to actually be bothered stopping to fight them WVR. It may just take them out BVR with height and range advantage or simply fly over them and bomb their bases and C4I infrastructure and then fly back over them.
On the contrary to official knowledge…a colonel of USAF ( as he introduced himself to me ) told me ( via e-mail ) he had flown F-84H supersonic.

He never returned to me when I asked more data.

XFY-1 went 600 mph as well; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9pxxu1muyQ
I recently watched a youtube video about Hess and it claimed there had been lighted a local landing strip for him…which he missed.
That is Marseille ok.
Won’t help much when looking directly at the sun.
Many aeroplanes are fitted with a radio. Radio messages can be used to warn about enemies… from a radar operator etc ? For instance..: “Red Leader, Bogies at 2 o’clock high !”
Surely the jet-engined aircraft would just stay high and come out of the sun.
What if the pilot uses sun glasses ?
In my opinion, the best option of the “direct aviation support” apparatus would be a high-speed helicopter or convertiplane. The maximum speed of 500 – 700 km / h and vertical takeoff and landing. Then plane a horizontal takeoff and landing, propeller, will be interesting only as a training aircraft.
My favorite layout of a fighter from the future for the Second World War 🙂

If you ducted those props…could it be like a “cold jet”…but still supersonic ?
Here is a another Paralay concept !
That looks similar to British Aerospace SABA from the eighties:
[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:”none”,”data-size”:”full”,”title”:”3.jpg”,”data-attachmentid”:3852451}[/ATTACH]It was meant as COIN aircraft with special attention given to shooting down helicopters. SABA used unducted fan though. Regular turbofan was also considered.
Some Polish Scorpion proposals were also turboprops.
Pusher props are still very promissing for that kinda plane.
Is that even for air-to air combat ?
looks to me more like those Stavatti COIN’s
Prop plane could be also able to fight in aerial combat…albeit better suited for COIN operations.
Paralay suggested this in another thread 2015.
