Zeppelin Staaken, German WW1 bomber (FSX)


peer01

Recommended Posts

The Zeppelin Staaken: a 4 engined biplane strategic German bomber with a 138 ft wing span (like a B-29). It had 4 direct driven engines in a tandem push-pull configuration. 2 mechanics were in flight seated between the engines in open niches (also animated in the virtual one), cut in the center of each nacelle. It needed a complicated 18-wheeled undercarriage. Each Staaken also needed a ground crew of 50 men. They did bomb London and Chelsea in the Uk and caused lots of damage in France and the Eastern front.

What an impressive monstrosity Jan! I had never heard of this one before. You couldn't pay me enough to be a nacelle mechanic on one of those, especially in cold or foul weather. They must have been totally deaf after a short time in flight. Interesting quick change from landing gear to pontoons. Beautifully displayed as usual. :cool: :cool: :cool: :)

Love this plane, not all that dissimilar to the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets, impressive set of shots too. All it needs is a VC, some gauges. :rolleyes: hmmmm. One can even fit a G1000 set :cool: And the link, too, will it work with FSX?

 

 

Well done Jan.

Thank you your Nobleness, it is always a pleasure to fly into Historic Floyd Bennett field, and use the same runways that other legendary pilots, besides myself, have used.
