This is a very well made series of videos. None of the "Luft 46" hype and stupidity that I have viewed, as if an extra year of war (that they were losing in a big way) would somehow miraculously avail them of the resources necessary when such resources were ALREADY unavailable in 1945! I have always stated that the one resource that was never lacking in the German aircraft industry was ingenuity. Many of these would make great 1/48 scale models though!
Project No 1, N1 It looks like The Bugatti (which I never knew existed until last month) with a Jet Engine on top instead of props. The F86 and all it's variants is also a lot like the Ta183, you can see the P-80 in it's design, but that sitting on top of the engine or at least the intake was pretty standard in the fifties for everyone. Great Perch. Looks like the days of Lumbering bomber formations over Germany were just about to become way to costly for the Americans. The Germans were just about to increase their speed by 25% over escorts and more than that on the formations, it would be about double the speed of them. From what I have heard that is a bit of a disadvantage for the attackers, closing so fast. but with 30mm x2 or x4 and those rockets not many bombers would be surviving one good hit. If Il-2 1946 who have a lot of these in the Game is modeled correctly, (and I think it is based on these Numbers and more not just some whim of a modder) the Ta183 Me162, flying wing and the Mig300 are the most stable jets to fly, the Shooting Star has a tough engine to manage, and the Me262 and that unarmed bomber more often than not burns a engine on start up. The Jumos were problematic in RL as well so that first gen of Ta183's would have been sub par but still so far ahead to almost be invincible. No Canard designs...... Cheers 🍁

The Flitzer and the British Venom look so similar.
Focke Wulf tried desperately to keep as many of its staff out of the army. The result was all these projects.

G'day,
Somehow I managed to not notice this, when it went up...; YT is a bit like that, lately.
The Soviets, and I think the Swedes as well, built what appeared to be Ta-183 "Samizdat/Copycat" derivatives or outright Clones, in the immediate Post WW-2 haste to Jetificate their Fighter Arsenal...; one was nicknamed the
"Flying Barrel",
And the other answered to the
"Flying Pig" -
But I can't recall
Which
One
Was
What...(?) !
And Argentina
Makes
Three...;
For a veritable
Global
Diasporic
Hat-Trick,
Kinda thing !
The idea was apparently to replace a grunty Piston Engine with a gutless Fuel-Hog of a Turbojet...,
And while
Weight and Balance
Permitted the
Furnace to go below and
Ahead of the Wing...;
Dangling the
Fire-Donkey in a dependant
Pod
Enabled the
Avoidance of all and any
Losses in
Prolulsive Efficiency
Originating in
Skin Friction from the
Inside of the Single Engine
Jet Exhaust's Tailpipe..., protecting the
Inside of the
Rear Fuselage...
By
Failing to
Include any
Rear Fusealage within which to
Mount any such
Thrust-robbing
Taillipe...(!).
Devilish cunning,
Eh, what ?
However, like many a
Fevered
Design-response to the
Infamous
Thrushlessness of early
Turbojets...;
The alleged
"Cures" were often difficult to
Demonstrate,
Especially when
Instrumentation was high grade
During
Testing...
And all the alleged
"Cures"
Came festooned with other
Limitations
Entirely...
The correct response
Turned out to be
To stick with the
Stupidly big & complicated
Piston Petrolburner/Airscrew-turners...,
A least until after the
Squirt-Engines
Have learnt to
Spool up from Flight Idle to
FULL GRUNTINESS
In less than
5 or 10
Seconds...; and ideally they'll
Produce some serious
Static
Thrust at
Airspeeds less than
Two or three times the
Stall Speed of the
Wing...
By 1955, most of the
Jet Airframe Ideas of
1945 - '50
Were looking a bit
Clunky....,
If not actually
Silly...(!).
Such is life,
Have a good one...
Stay safe.

G'day,
Try reading it out aloud.
It's Blank Verse,
But
Punctuated so as to afford
Pause
For
Breathing...
Enjoy...
