Here is the english version; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTf9YKb0HwA

We have keep in mind the frontal area has nothing to do with RCS at first. The main thing is, the frontal drag has a rising in importance with the rise in speed at level flight.

RCS is only about 1. Size. 2. Material. 3 Shape !

So I am afraid the size does matter !

Most small piston twins will probably fly at gross weight with the critical engine inoperative at sea level ISA conditions, but need to be flown precisely. Any mishandling will degrade the performance even more as will out of C of G condition.

Yes engine trouble is mentioned; http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28181091

Did you read that safety record…..470 dead on the 2 first pages alone !

You’re absolutely right John! 🙂
I believe it’s an F.402.

Open house!

Here we go…..wot ?

The Strike Viper looks pretty similar to Su34.

If you want Frankenplanes that where crazy projects look no furter than Luft46 for German WWII testplanes.

Focke Wulfs VTOL jet accellerated rotary aircraft has to be one of the goofiest.

How did they expect it to be safe to operate?

Haha, wtf? I didnt notice that it had wheels. This design explains why Siemens never really made it with their cellphones 😉
Wtf #2… how was the fuel expected to enter the engines at the end of the propellers?

Well nazis threw first the chief off the office in 1937 ( Heinrich Focke )…then the road was open all kinda goofy things. Mr Wulf had died in a canard accident already in the 20ies.
